Have an Attention Whorey/Special Snowflakey or just a random thought you’d like to share? Well here’s your chance!
If you miss out, a new thread will be posted Friday for you to get your salty hoeness on!

Re: **Tuesday AW/SS/Random Thoughts Thread**
First, sorry no GIFs. Forgive me? Stupid work ruins everything.
My SS is that I spent last night in L&D because I’m a spazzy FTM. I can admit this freely. I started having shooting pains and dull aches on Wednesday, figured it was normal, but by Monday when it’s still there decided to call and check. Since the clinic was closed they had me come into L&D and they confirmed the pains were just RLP because my uterus is growing like a friggin’ BEAST! They checked on the babies, the fluid levels, the cervical length, etc and all is good! The nurses were really nice, it’s just my pride (and low abdomen) that’s hurt!
Ooh, I love Oahu. How are you feeling these days? You may not be up for hiking the mountain but there’s really nice trails and stuff that aren’t too strenuous. We usually rent a Jeep and drive around the whole island one day, stopping at little places along the way (Dole Plantation, North Shore, etc) that look fun. You can get hubby to kayak you around or get a hoby cat to sail for a bit. If you’re feeling tired though, I’d just spent a morning reading a book in a hammock or floating in the pool/ocean. And eating… always eating… lol. Have fun!

I don't even like peaches.
Andplusalso, why do college girls think it's necessary to wear short skirts and heels to 8:00am classes when it is raining and 34 degrees outside?
This baby and I cannot get in the same page for what we should eat vs what we crave to eat. I even stated out loud the Bump, there will be no more junk food!
Now what to do for lunch to off set the bag of chips...
mmmm peach cobbler, drool
San Jose del Cabo. We found a really great deal at a 4 star family resort for the week. Seriously why is it only Tuesday, I wanna go now.
I'm on board with you here! I made a panicked late-afternoon run to MFM last Friday for a lot of the same reasons. Doesn't help that earlier in the week my cervix had continued to shorten and I ended up with a pessary, but I had myself worked up to basket case levels during the drive to the office. Oh, and that liquid discharge that had me terrified? Probably just babies taking their aggression out on my bladder... :-/ Glad to hear yours was a false alarm as well!
The real random thing I wanted to share actually happened while DH and I were sitting in the waiting room, more than a little anxious. A group of women had accompanied a couple (I assume to see the a/s), and were clucking like a bunch of chickens (DH's very apt assessment) the entire 30 minutes we sat there. The entire waiting room was subjected to their very loud and unedited conversation, but the kicker was toward the end, when they started discussing an acquaintance's current pregnancy. Evidently the woman was having complications, with severe fetal developmental issues. These biddies were throwing around details like "She'll likely have to have an abortion" and "It would probably be better if she just miscarried." Excuse me, WTF???? You're sitting there surrounded by women who are for one reason or another deemed high-risk and talking about abortions and miscarriages??? DH was ready to get up and say something; fortunately for us, the nurse called me back at about that point. Four days later, I still can't get over their sheer ignorance and lack of sensitivity.
On a more positive note, I LOVE that my MFM practice is so supportive with spazzy mothers. They made me feel completely in the right for getting checked out, even with nothing currently wrong.
Dearest husband if you continue to snore every single night I am going to hit you in the face with a brick in a sock!! *Quote fail... sorry...
@muffinhny- i feel your pain!!! FYI... earplugs work wonders!!!
Ok my SS turn!!! I just discovered Vera Bradley Baby!!!!!!!!! Made my own first baby clothing purchases yesterday- totally couldn't help myself!!! Weeee!!!!!
I have reached the stage of pregnancy where strangers and my patients at work are asking me when I'm due without me telling them I am pregnant. It always takes me by surprise.
I have also started "standing like a pregnant lady" and am resting my hands on my belly all the time. I always wondered why pregnant ladies always seemed to be touching their own belly...but I get it now. The belly makes a pretty good shelf!
Weird part is I caught my husband sitting on the couch last night holding HIS belly! He said he is not sure why he is doing that, but thinks he just picked it up from me. Highly amusing - he may be the most SS of us all!
Edit - typo
Only down side is I have to wait until after baby is born which sucks because I'm 40 miles from the town I have to pick it up in :-S
Andplusalso what's a good durable and dependable brand of nursing tanks bras and shirts?
@yellowbird219 Considering I'm buying tickets to go see Diana Gabaldon 11 days after my EDD (I'll have a RCS the week before), I'd say go for it! But I'm crazy.
@Natalie78W I totally agree
With how much my haircuts cost, I go as rarely as possible. But since my hair is below my shoulders usually, I can get away with it for longer than I bet someone can who has a shorter bob. I go to a special place in Manhattan that specializes in curly haircuts so I pick my visits wisely
Pre-pregnancy: I had my hair cut and colored every 8 weeks. It was my total indulgence. Haven't had it done since my BFP!
It was assumed by my mom and sister, W, thought that I'd have two showers; one here one there and each sister would get to throw one. My sister, T, assumed I'd have one and one side of the family would travel. Neither side will, so I don't know where she got this idea.
I asked W and Mom to talk to T before anything got planned. They didn't and T's feelings got hurt. Now there's this big elephant in the room and nobody is talking about things. I'm at the point where they took the fun out of it and I don't want either shower. It's a lose lose situation and someone gets their feelings hurt.
