This one is kinda lame. I bought first baby item today. (My mom bought bottles a while back but this is the first we actually bought). It was BM storage bags. Lol how lame is that! It was $3 off when you bought two so why not? Don't wanna pass up a coupon! But seriously who buys BM bags as their first baby purchase lol I'm so lame.

Hey, that's practical!  FYI I spoke with my insurance yesterday and they said that, in addition to the free breast pump, they would send 150 breastmilk storage bags every 90 days for free.  Maybe check and see if your insurance will do that?

Oh! My bad! I did see them.

At the bottom of your siggy, there is a "this image or video has been moved or deleted". That's what I was referring too. Muh B.

I exaggerate numbers... a lot.

DH: "How much did that cost?"

Me: "$20"

((hides tag that says $32))

...I like to round down. Or, if I'm bragging, I round up. Meh. So don't make me an accountant.

I do this with money I've spent as well as with timing. As in someone asks me, "How long do you estimate you'll be here?" GPS says 30min, and I tell them 20 min. I have no idea why. I have no need to round down when telling my husband what I spend, but it's almost like I do it instinctually...

I have a nasty head cold and can't take my usual beloved Sudafed.  So this morning after I used my neti pot, the shit that came out of my nose was so nasty, I almost woke up DH to show him.  Then I stopped myself LOL.

Sometimes when DH is out of town for work, I tell him on the phone that I'm going to bed early...just so I can chill in peace on the sofa alone for a bit at night! @groxb I too exaggerate numbers but I just tend to use 800 as my go to. Like...it's 800 degrees outside or it costs like 800 million dollars.

That's the other thing I do too, ridiculous exaggeration. I guess I'm just not good with numbers...

I love math... and engineering and all sorts of math and I do this too. When I see $16.99 I say oooh it's only $15! woops. Same goes with the gps and times...

---damn you mobile quote---
Yeah I need to get on a computer to fix my siggy one of these days. I haven't been on a real computer since before I got pregnant this time around. And I am sure I will need help then too, it's changed a lot since the last time I made a siggy (back in 2011).

My dcotor just told me yesterday that Sudafed was ok? 

(@tigger99, too) OMG is it???  Because seriously, this is ridiculous.  I asked at the pharmacy a few days ago and the pharmacist told me she thought it was ok, but when I looked it up it was a category C?  Waiting to call my doc's office, they close for lunch.  I'm seriously miserable, and a bit concerned about getting a sinus infection.

My FFFC is that I totally would have woken him up to show him.

You are my idol.

We have tri care. They are lame. Lol

My other FFFC is that I made an incredible cheese and caramel flan and I absolutely pretend to eat it all by myself. My two step kids have been hinting for me to share, but I won't. They have been behaving horribly this week, and I've been craving flan for like a month

I love cheese and I love caramel, but I have to admit, the combo sounds weird. I'm sure it's one of those things that tastes better than it sounds!

My pedi ok'd sudafed while I was in third tri last time. Nixed it while I was in 1st tri this time. 2nd tri could be ok if the need is great maybe? Risk/reward with all these things.

That makes sense.  I'm on hold w them now.  I have a tendency to get sinus infections if I don't take something to dry me up when I have a cold, so I dunno.

Ok they said I can take Sudafed, but not around the clock.  So I'll do it once a day maybe.  That helps a bit.

Lunch was a whole box of Annie's mac & cheese (reduced sodium, so it is healthy, right? lol)...and I am debating making a second box as it it the only thing that hasn't made me gag today.

Who the hell is Veronica Mars? Apparently she has a movie..? She's blowing up my newsfeed.

Another - I am beyond excited that my maternity leave will coincide with the first 3/4 of the last season of Sons of Anarchy. No more waiting through a long Tueaday at work to get home to watch it.

I went to a Sprinkle a couple weeks ago, BRU had feeding items buy one get one half off so I bought two boxes of breast pads and two tubes of nipple cream, gave one of each to my friend and kept the other two for me. These are necessities no one likes to buy plus mine were half off

It was a TV show in the mid-2000s about a teenaged girl,  Veronica Mars, who was a detective with her father solving crimes. She was sarcastic, funny, a hard-ass, basically everything I aspired to be. The show was cancelled too soon. A Kickstarter was started last year to make a movie with closure. Us rabid fans are salivating waiting for it to come out.

Ah, there was a time in the mid-2000's that I didn't own a TV. So that makes sense. Thank you! I have really been so confused, but too lazy to google.

I'm going to put 3 confessions in one post. I've been a bump slacker and haven't posted any in the past so I'm going to attempt to catch up.

1. I have a hard time picturing my baby with all the fruit-size references and sometimes watch other people's ultrasounds on youtube who are as far along as I am just because I miss looking at my baby (sonogram pictures from 3 weeks ago are not enough) and want to know what its doing in there and what it looks like. I feel like a creeper after though because I'm looking at someone else's uterus and fetus...

2. I am DYING to find out the sex of my baby (even though I'm thinking its a girl, I need to be sure). And so when I go "home" and visit family next month, I'm going to do one of those elective ultrasound things because I'll be 16 weeks and this place claims it can tell with very high accuracy at 16 weeks. Also, because we live so far from family and had to announce the pregnancy to our parents/siblings over the phone and skype, I want to be able to announce the sex of the baby in person, if at all possible.

3. I mostly lurk on this board and don't post my thoughts because everyone else has already said what I would have said and so my responses end up being mostly quotes from all the cool posters or boring repeats. That's why I lurk but "love" so many comments. Also, I haven't figured out how to post gifs and pictures and y'all come up with some really good ones so I find it hard to contribute without feeling like I look like a complete doofus. 

Also, I'm now going out to get Taco Bell. That sounded delicious.

I have another FFFC, I just fished through a public garbage to retrieve a mega millions ticket I accidentally threw away. I was going to say screw it but I knew I would forever wonder if that was my winning ticket! I rarely play but the jackpot is pretty high and I'd like to be a SAHM with this one.

I'm irrationally annoyed by the fact that I was brought the wrong candy. Every day one person runs to get lunch. Today I wrote on my list that I wanted sour gummy worms, I received soup patch kids. Not the same thing. It's probably compounded by the fact that I asked for cheetos yesterday & they came back with cheetos puffs. Quit messing up a pregnant lady's junk food, guise!

I allowed myself to get sucked into an anti-vax argument with my dumbass redneck cousing... I'm ashamed I even tried arguing with stupid.

QTF.  One of the best shows ever.

While pooping the other day I noticed that the little 3 leaf flower looking things in the middle of each design and the smaller ones off to the sides on my shower door are not identically. They all look somewhat off. Now it bugs me like crazy. I want a new door.

My son is *that kid* and pretty much will only drink chocolate milk. We're trying to fix it by slowly integrating white milk and reducing the chocolate ratio (as per our pedi's suggestion), but he freaks when he sees me pulling out the white milk. It's slowly getting better (and pedi thinks it may improve when he finally weans from the boob) but I don't want to make him go cold turkey because he's pretty skinny.

I also can't get him to eat much in the way of vegetables. OY

My best friend cooked some recipes from deceptively delicious (i think that is ehat it is called). Recipes for kids to disguise veggies.

What if you pre-mixed the milk so he doesn't see the white milk?

LOL usually I'm a bit sneakier but sometimes he catches me :-D. I'm trying to gradually reduce the amount of chocolate milk to mix with the white, so I don't necessarily want to mix a bunch one way. But funny story: the other day I guess I tried to put in too much white milk because he took one sip, said 'NO' and handed it right back. LOL.

I am going to try some of the Deceptively Delicious type stuff though! Thanks!
