So...I just don't want to pinch my nipples and see if they leak. I'm not ready for that yet, okay? OKAY?!?!

Aw/SS: we are visiting my IL's in Alabama, so I convinced dh that it would be a nice gift to them to take them with us to an elective 3d/4d u/s, so we are doing that Thursday I'm pretty excited to see my littlest man agaib

letsgobowlingx - holy crap! Scary! I'm so glad you had your husband, and lots of nice strangers, around to help!

lalala8 - totally was thinking the same thing earlier this week! I guess I'm feeling grateful that LOs feet appear to be down, so I'm just getting swift kicks to the vag instead of the ribs?!

When DH told his female supervisor I was pregnant, she gave him a high five and told him "Good Job".  There was no ball rubbing, but I feel like that came pretty close.

When I found out I was pregnant I gave my husband a high five and told him good job. I would've rubbed his balls but....

When my male boss saw my DF after he found out I was pregnant, he shook his hand and said "good job". So awkward.

My nipples are not flat but they are also not leaking when I pinch them   I am not googling when I should be concerned.

 

This is a bit of an embarrassing confession, but I had my left nipple pierced when I was 18 (*eyeroll* I thought I was so cool).  I spent a lot of time googling the other day, trying to figure out if I was never going to be able to breastfeed because of it.

@lest12 Haha!!! Same here, but just wanted to let you know that I had no problems nursing until DS started to get a mouthful of teeth.  He would have one tooth that would hit my scar tissue just right and it would hurt so bad so I just had to turn him around and nurse in the opposite direction. By then you will be a pro.  I hope this helps with your concern and good luck nursing. 

@gregsgurl81305 - thank you! I'm glad to hear it, i needed the reassurance! I will look out for the teeth issue, lol.

@brighteyes112 I think we should do a newbie playdate thread!

@brighteyes112 Great idea for a thread. Also helping jog my memory!

My stomach is stretching!! Like itchy and tightness!

My doctor won't start to see me for bi-weekly appointments until 30 weeks is this normal?

I have been eating valentines candy like no one's business...

I'm watching a corny, smutty (is that a word) lifetime movie right now ;;)

I'm sitting here having a mini melt down. Everything that could go wrong has gone wrong today. Since October something has happened that has required money be taken from savings. Well, today has took another huge chunk out of it. When we seem to be able to get ahead something else comes up. So this means my 12 week maternity leave will probably now be 6-8. I'm so upset over it.

I so sorry. That is a shitty situation. Big hugs

So in love with my soon to be child and DS but now that third tri is sneaking up, I am beginning to get a little anxious about having two very young lo's to juggle! And after the super awesome day today with my almost two year old already going through terrible two's I cant even imagine how I would deal with this situation! Pretty much pregnant for two years then 4 under 1...Yikes :-O   https://thestir.cafemom.com/pregnancy/166975/mom_gets_pregnant_with_triplets

@jmejolee83 Yes, I start bi-weekly appts at 30 weeks.

I can't remember if I already shared this or not, stupid pregnancy brain. DH called me the other day and said "I hope the baby is a lefty." Um okay... Why? He said "because lefty basketball players are really hard to defend and colleges offer great scholarships to woman basketball players." Haha he put a lot of thought into it I guess! It was cute.

DH always said if we had a boy, he hoped he would be left-handed. Apparently left handed relief pitchers get paid a lot of money to only pitch to a few batters. DD is a lefty. Guess we should start her on basketball!

I tell my husband all the time I hope baby is a lefty. I am a lefty and DH's dad was so there is a good chance. My only reasoning is that I like being a lefty, lol.

Also I just cried while getting ready for soccer. I havent played in 2 weeks and cant get into my gear. I am not convinced I will beable to put on my own shin guards. I feel so huge and uncomfortable and miserable. I guess I will be quitting the one thing that gets me out of the house.

I'm impressed you are still playing, though!

I'm impressed you are still playing. I've been benched from my broomball team since start of 2nd tri (but that is played on ice too). I miss being able to get out and play anything now though.

@BrightEyes112 - I've been playing outdoor (bar league) volleyball since I was 18...I'm 32 and this is the first year I won't be able to play in the spring session, probably not fully play in the summer session either. I totally feel your pain. I'm impressed that you are still playing! Once April hits I'm sure I'll be an emotional wreck over not being able to play  

We could start a support group I swear! I have a few other friends that are pregnant and can't play this year either. It's so depressing!!! 

We just have to keep thinking that soon it is going to be nice out and we can go for walks. (I'm totally making my H go for walks with me!!!)

AW: DS has woken up dry 2 nights in a row and has not had an accident yet! ( he will ask for a diaper to poop tho)
I'm so excited that he *should* for sure be out of diapers by the time LO is here... I had heard how much harder boys are to potty train and while he wasn't interested as early as DD, I'm relieved that it has been this successful so far

@lizardbreath14 my sister is throwing my baby shower. I offered to help pay for some of it because I know she struggles. Now she is going to Thailand for like 3 weeks and gets back 10 days before my shower. Idk if I should offer to help organize some of it... I'm nervous it's going to be kinda thrown together last minute. Hmmm.

I don't know if the idea of bump groups is going to work out well.

I'm confused.  Isn't this page a bump group?

@lizardbreath14 - Yes sort of - it's more of a forum than anything. Groups are going to be more 'social' from what I understood. Where you can put permissions on those groups. So if we wanted to start a group with just people with the exact same due date we could and we could be the only ones to view this group. Where you would have to invite someone to join a group, etc. etc. Not sure if it will work or if it will get too 'cliquey (SP?)' - worth a shot though.

@lizardbreath14 - I read about it here: https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12273129/coming-soon-social-groups#latest

My thoughts were that it would get too cliquey. I suppose it's definitely worth a shot, I'm just envisioning all the drama that could come with it.

This is what I'm feeling /thinking might come of it. I like our BMB so hopefully ppl will stick around still and not run off to groups.

This is the best day I have had in a long time even with all the pregnancy issues currently bleeding, cramping and whatnot. I just had a sh*t load of stress lifted off my shoulders and I am also helping out my parents at the same time. So lucky to have a great family and SO in my life or I don't think I would make it some days. Life's trials are hard but we all just have to remember that we can make it especially if we have a good support system. Like you lady's.

Yay, I can cross double stroller off my list of things to buy. 

I found a Phil & Teds Vibe with 2nd seat for an amazing deal on craigslist today. It's in pristine condition so of course I bought it. I budgeted $600 for a double and decided that I didn't need to get the double BOB too and would just run with one kid at a time but with the price I paid for the P&T I can now afford a double BOB, provided I find a good deal, and still not go over my original budget.

I was just checking out Asos bathing suits and was so happy the model had cellulite. Small things make me smile. Of course my dimples are more crater like than hers, but still, made me feel better
