I haven't been around much today because I've been internet-fighting on Facebook all day with an idiot cousin of mine who's said that I'm basically a racist KKK member because I think that one day we'll look back on the gay marriage struggle just as we do at the fight for African American equality, at the suffrage movement, and the persecution of Jews.  Say whaaaaaaaat?

How does that make you racist? That makes zero sense whatsoever.

Comments of the day:

From the secretary again: "Oohh, you're really getting chubby!"

From my coworker and friend: "Are you gonna tell the kids soon? Or are you just gonna let them think you're getting fat? Cause that scarf ain't hiding it."

From another coworker and friend while passing each other in the hall: "Hey, pregnant lady!"

Also, I'm wearing maternity pants that don't fall down. Halle-freaking-lujah!

@Autumnbonfire you're in Jersey right? What part?

Im in jersey, Sussex county

If there's going to be some sort of strange NNJ/Pocono/I live off 80 love fest, I demand to be invited.  Or at least see pics.  :P

I made a peanut butter shake with fudge swirl ice cream for part of my lunch and it was amazing.

I NEED one of those @zarkarella!  Thank you!

My baby is having a party in my belly and after hearing he/she is healthy it just makes me grin. I'm feeling cheesy and I would like to thank Alli for starting this thread so I didn't have to have a SS movement thread!

Yeah I don't get how that equals racism? I think you are drawing parallels between oppression in different ways. I believe some of the verses in the one love song by Macklemore did the same thing and he was praised "call each other f****** behind the keys of a message board. Come from a culture of oppression yet we can't have acceptance for 'em" or something like that. Tell your cousin to shove it.

That's what I, nor any of my friends, can not figure out.  He's just a bigoted nutjob who thinks that he wins arguments because people stop fighting with him, when more likely it's that they just give up because you can't argue with stupid.

You're in my backyard beeotch!!! TELL me the next time you're coming up here!

I can't keep the jersey girls straight. I want to start a "who lives in NJ and where" thread that I can refer back to.

I was going to PM you yesterday, but I forgot.

I'm going to be in PA next week, with a view of NJ across the river ;-)

I am going to freeze my jumbo butt off  Even the plumpness can't protect this California girl from "highs" in the 30s! 

ETA:  I edited a cuss word ... because I'm a prude. 

alyssa719

@TalllMomma29 - you do realize there's like, at least 3 hours (driving) worth of river that you can stand on the PA side and stare at NJ from, right?    Make sure to make the most out of every meal.. if you're in Philly, eat a cheesesteak.

And also, layers are your friend.

I was trying to be vague and mysterious for all the lurkers, because it's the internets ;-)   But heck, Philly is a big city... That's where I'll be, and I am totally planning to eat cheesesteaks like it's my job ;-)

I am also definitely planning to pack every long sleeved layer I own!

I finally feel my baby at 19w 7d!!! Yay!!! Last pregnancy it was 21 weeks. I was getting impatient

TallMomma29

One of our dogs loves being on my lap as much as possible, so usually when I'm working from home, he's on my lap, and my laptop is on top of him.  Lately, I can feel LO trying to kick him away from my stomach.  She's not strong enough to startle him yet, but I can't wait for the day she gives him a swift kick and he notices!   Is it weird that I'm excited about my baby potentially kicking my dog?

Haha, Sprout did this to my cat the other night... her look of "wtf just touched me?" was priceless.

Hahaha.  Sorry!!  You are quite mysterious!!! 
I somehow feel like if people are willing to try to track me down in a city of 1.5 million people, they deserve the chance for me to be like, "omg, you're f'ing creepy stalking me from an online pregnancy board?!?!" and bitch slap them. 

middleschoolmommy

I am starting to have a very irrational fear that my baby will only recognize my voice if I'm yelling. I teach little kids and yell every. single. day. I know it's silly, but I'm still worried about it.

I'm always extra paranoid because I stand out so much!  I've seen too many 20/20 specials where some creepster online pieces together random bits of information and then manages to track someone down.  Luckily, it would be extremely difficult to try to kidnap me, and way too much work to get rid of my body... so I always feel pretty safe ;-)

Same here! I just read that they can start to hear at 18weeks and I thought, "oh shit." I've been trying to get more mileage out of "the look" but that only goes so far. (Although interestingly, the look seems to be working more recently. I wonder if impending parenthood gives you a more potent "look!")

I just crawled up the steps because I was too tired to walk.

The struggle is real.

Never ate while pooping before. Anyone know if I'm missing out?

Also, until like, 3 days ago, I thought it was DownTOWN Abby. I don't watch it (clearly).

I am simultaneously amused and grossed out by the first sentence ;-)

Also, I always thought it was Downtown too, and I even heard people pronounce it "Down-ton" and I thought they just sounded douchy.

Definitely be smart to pack warm. I live about 30 min outside Philly and it is supposed to be in the 20's again next week even though this weekend is supposed to be 50's. Dammit, Mother Nature, you're drunk!


You too? We all live 30 min outside Philly

I just had to google what it really is because I thought it was Downtown Abby too.

I can't wait for this LO to kick my DS one night when he's sitting in my lap reading books before bed

We have been having unseasonably warm weather here in San Diego (70s and 80s when it's usually mid to low 60s in the "winter" here)... I am SO not prepared for 20s! Poor DH just bought a $250 uniform "bridge coat" that he will only wear for those few days in Philly bc they are not allowed to wear any other kind of coat with their uniforms. Definitely planning to bring tons of layers but I don't own warm enough clothes or coats for 20s :-(

Have any of you guys been outside tonight??  It's above freezing and downright balmy!!

I'm in the middle of a full blown ugly cry tantrum because I spent 90 minutes cooking dinner after work only to have DH make fun of me for cutting my burger patty in half. I know I'm overreacting and I know I should just chill out, stop crying and go eat my dinner but I can't!! F*CKING HORMONES.

I have been in a minor panic attack for like a day or 2. Somebody posted (I think in this thread) about losses on the March board and I seriously cannot even imagine.

I know my depression makes me more prone to dwell on the negatives. I just can't get the thought out of my head and its damn near debilitating. After everything in this pregnancy I just don't know if I could handle anything happening. I sadly have been avoiding certain threads that I know have super bad news or contain certain fears of mine that i know i would dwell on because I know my mental health can't take it.

Apparently the emotional aspects of pregnancy started super strong in the last week or so and this is playing in that. I think I need a vacation.

Sorry, i went all super Debbie Downer.

Late night confession: just ate an in-n-out cheeseburger animal style and I feel no shame admitting it. It even makes me feel sorry for all non-west coasters that may never know the joy that is an in-n-out burger. That is all. Good night.

Off to find Crossfire! Thanks @Zarkarella ! 50 shades did wonders for us, so this should be good.

Hormonal pregnant girl got the best of me today. Blueberry donut and puppy chow for breakfast, washed down with a mt dew (I almost never drink pop anymore, but it sounded soooo good) and a side of crying hysterically.

Big hugs! If avoiding those threads is what you need to do right now, no one blames you. You've got to know your limits when it comes to what will bring you down further.  That's why people put disclaimers in their titles. I think about you a lot when I want to bitch about my GD because you seem to have it worse with all the insulin and stuff. 

 Don't forget we're here for you to bitch to!
