I'm posting this now since I will be loading a moving truck tomorrow.
My OPP rant is to the tacky girl who threw a baby shower for her third kid (see my post on the baby shower board). AND I ran into her at the coffee shop today. UGH. Get your stupid perfect belly away from me. I can't wait to move and be away from all the pregnant people. I hate how resentful IF makes me.

Re: OPP Tuesday ***BFPS, PREGNANCIES, BABIES, AND CHILDREN WILL BE MENTIONED***
@theholmanherd Ugh.. Some ppl just don't have a clue. So sorry you are feeling this way. I feel it too. And it makes me feel like a horrible person
My OPP rant goes to the couple that brought their toddler to the RE's office this weekend. It was bad enough he was there, but his parents were letting him run around the waiting room, and climb up on everyone in there. You are really going to let you kid get on strangers laps?! I was so annoyed, and I doubt I was the only one. Thank god they went back a couple minutes after they got there.

The IF "bitter bug" has struck me officially. Logged onto Facebook to a pregnancy announcement. This girl I went to high school with is 3 months pregnant...with twins! The kicker is she currently also has a 6 month old and a 5 year old. I want to be happy for her but then she jokes that she's "extremely fertile popping out babies all the time". Wth...really?!
