I'll admit it. I read it. I hate being a hypocrite and I am like notorious TLDR chick so I can't be a hypocrite.
I'm not going to respond though/argue though - the subsequent posts by O13 in this thread destroy the causation basis for her argument if they are being sincere in the fact that they didn't know about the drama/it wasn't what drew them here. (And since they can't admit to that part without admitting to trolling well...yeah). So from my perspective, moot issue.
Anyways @rm2013 it's all good on my end. No issues with you. Hope it's the same on your end.
Yeah, well after all of this stuff got reported/brought to the mods board, I circled back around to see what was up. I only spoke up again to defend vargasgurl, and our intentions in posting. Believe what you want, doesn't much matter to me. My comments were meant sincerely, you can not like them, tell me to gtfo, or print them out and wipe your ass with them for all I care. With that, it's 5:00 and I'm out.
@beatlesgal4 I am a FTM too and feel same way some days. It's okay, I think. The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy has a good line about this, about some of your best friends in this world taking awhile to bond, so it's okay if takes a little time with LO. Personally, I have found reading the birth stories on the October 2014 board really inspiring and moving. They make it a little more real and make me a little more excited about meeting LO.
@FrecklesInside I agree. There have been many times I've typed in "Seriously, what's your story?" and then erased it so as not to feed her.
Also... I thought I was caught up and then realized I'm only on 6 of 9. I'm not deleting this.
My 16 appointment went well. My 4 year old came with us and he got to hear the baby s heartbeat so that was exciting for him! Baby was hiding from the Doppler but has a strong heartbeat of 142 bpms. They looked over my levels and Dr said my fasting levels were high, but my after meal levels were okay. He said the diet is working okay but not great. He said 16 weeks is still a little early and is going to give me another month on the diet and look at my levels again at my 20 week checkup on November 4th. If they don't like what they see then they're going to put me on medication. Crossing my fingers the diet will work and I won't need the medication. So far everything with baby is good and next up is our anatomy scan November 6th!
Have I ever expressed my love of blogger Amalah to you all? No? Oh. Well. Once upon a time, she wrote a weekly pregnancy blog for Alpha Mom. And one of the big reasons I love her and you all will, too, is this comment in her "week 18" post:
(Side note to everybody everywhere who talks about this ever: Sex is biological, as in male and female and X and Y chromosomes. Gender is a social construct of what constitutes feminine vs. masculine behavior. Therefore, you are learning the baby’s sex, not its gender. Thank you. Love, Amy’s Explody Head.)
I adore her. I've been following since she was pregnant with Baby Ike. I think I found her through zero to forty, and I reread it every pregnancy. So much amalah love.
1. It a such a shame the bump wednesday thread turned into that. People got some cute bumps today, I seriously looked down at my stomach and questioned Padraic a bit, "Where you at buddy? Ever gonna come out and play?!"
2. VENT- So, on facebook I had posted two facebook statuses about Marley, one explaining why she was sick, the surgery she went through, her 60/40 chance of survival, and urged people with large breed dogs to be aware of bloat and the symptoms. The second status fully explained how she died and how hard the vet really did try to keep her going. Both informative statuses I would think. Well, this girl had "liked" BOTH my statuses and offered her support on BOTH statuses....causing me to, idk, suspect maybe she READ the statuses?! Tonight she facebook messaged me and said she saw the pictures and asked what had happened to marley...*side eye I wanted to reply "wtf is wrong with you." for the sake of being decent, I told her "both of the statuses you liked answer the question youre asking so I dont have to relive explaining how my dog died. Im trying not to be rude, but you need to understand i have a problem with you 'liking my status because of picture' and not reading it. im so irritated by her negligence @-)
Our ultrasound was great! Baby was looking good and the heartbeat was 136 bpm. Tech thinks she glimpsed boy parts but then munchkin went cross-legged and wouldn't move so we will find out at our a/s on the 23rd!
I'm sad that they even came into the bat cave. We've had enough. We are sorting some shit out. THIS BOARD IS NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY OTHER BUMP BOARD. But we are currently having to deal with a very weird fucked up week and are now losing a mod. I think it is rude for anyone to butt in on this anymore no matter how much you can post wherever the fuck you want.
Disturbed my not -as- hippy- as- moaster aura when I saw a non-M15er giving their two cents in the random thread on a really rough day...
I noticed the idea was floated for doing a poll to vote on whether bare or covered belly pics are to be "allowed" on HDBD. FFS can we please not do one?!? I think it will only reinforce the "M15 has rules" bullshit and bring the seagull, J14, O13, and anyone else out of the woodwork looking for kicks.
Edit: because I didn't proofread
I was joking because it's clicky poll Wednesday. CLICK ALL THE POLLS!!!!!!!

Word.
I completely expected sheeple dumbfucks to come over here to copycat. I wasn't at all surprised at what happened today, especially since other BMB mods puppy-piled into the yes or no thread to justify keeping pets.
It'll probably keep happening for a week or so until every unoriginal asshole can give it a whirl and hyuck with thier friends over it.
I think Baby likes music. He/she kicks like crazy when I'm in the car listening to the radio and now DH is playing the piano (being married to a music teacher means this is a fairly constant occurrence) and again with the kicking!
Just caught up on the randoms. I hate that there is so much crazy going down. Ditto @FrecklesInside, I'm prickly that after HDBD was invaded, it's now leaking into the random.
H woke me up at 4:30 a.m. to check out the eclipse, which was pretty cool, but I could not get back to sleep for two hours! I'm so tired, but am trying to rally to go to dinner and pub trivia with friends.
March '15 October Siggy Challenge: Halloween Costume Fail
Uhmm!! You started this mess with your comment about my bump. I was just trying to participate in the thread like everyone else. I have always been supportive to the women on this and my O13 board and you made me roll my eyes. Knit picking what is acceptable.
So I play nice with everyone and offer support and comfort where I can. Maybe you need to focus on other things.
By the way I won't be posting anymore more bump pics ... Because I ended up having a very bad apt today. There may be a problem my twins And there are a lot of unknowns. Hopefully my procedure will be successful and I can have my babies.
Have a good night and I wish you all very healthy pregnancies . ENOUGH ALREADY!
I'm really sorry for your appointment going badly today, and I hope that things work out well for your babies.
You might want to look into other anger outlets in the future though. Internet fights rarely lead to everyone walking away feeling good, including the instigator.
I wasn't angry but this all got way out of hand. @Peledreamsofrain Thank you for your well wishes. Im deleting my post don't need anyone misinterpreting it.
@vargusgurl FX that your procedure is successful and your babies are okay.
Had my A/S today. My cervix is effacing and is currently 2.3 cm, down from 3.4 cm. My OB is also concerned about my uterus "tightening". I'm scared as fuck right now and Dr. Google isn't helping things.

Oh no. ((hugs)). I'm rooting for you and baby, I'm sorry you are going through such a terrible scare.

I love you and want to give you huge ridiculously big hugs. What is the plan moving forward? I have everything crossed for you. I know that little goff is going to be OK. Has to be. So many hugs. And don't talk to Dr. Google - he's a quack.
@goofygoff oh no! Is it too late to start progesterone shots? Those have helped me a lot. Thinking of you. I hope they can come up with a plan to keep that baby in!
Yeah, I know it was long, there was a lot. Glad you read it. I don't have a personal problem with you or anyone @etoille. I was just pissed off by all the crap and wishing we could control it, THAT's what I was mad about. Sorry that came out as yelling at a bunch of folks - and hell the people who responded the most weren't even who I was talking about. I was just fed up to where steam was coming out of my ears (and again this wasn't from just the HDBD thread but a buildup of multiple threads) and in hindsight I shouldn't post while mad because it's not going to come out right and will just be a cluster. I spend a lot of time on here when I probably should be doing something else but I'd rather be here because I like our community. Which is why I got so pissed, I literally reached my breaking point with all the flack we get and had it with everyone fucking with us and my unfortunately my frustration found the wrong target. There are definitely very different sides/opinions on how to deal with these outsiders and you know what, there will never be a 100% agreement among everyone here. That's fine, I'm over my Hulk moment.

I'm sorry your going through this as well. It is pretty scary , I hope everything works out ok. I google everything ... Not always the best but I try to be informed so I can be prepared. Honestly you never really are. Take care and keep us posted.
@goofygoff - FX everything stays well. Did your dr suggest bedrest or anything to try to calm things down? Really sending hugs and positive thoughts your way.

That's so scary. All my vibes for an uneventful resolution.
Thank you, everyone! Eff the haters, M15 ladies are the best.
My OB wants me to "take it easy" for the next week. (I'm taking it a bit further and keeping my feet up.) On Wed., my cervix will be checked again and if the length is still decreasing, I will be officially put on bed rest with vaginal progesterone, which I'm guessing are suppositories.
The thought of being put on bed rest depresses me, but I will do ANYTHING to make sure my son is healthy.
Re: Has anybody seen my Swingline stapler?
And congrats on the girl!!!
Okay. Caught up. Now time to exercise pregnant brain and try to remember who to call out.
@RQuinlin Let us know how the A/S goes, please!

Yay. Now I'm caught up. For reals.
@RQuinlin Congratulations on your baby girl! Virginia is such a beautiful name.
Virtually clinking glasses of virgin daiquiri (with an umbrella in it) with M15.
this is very random. do we still do a live chat or was that abandoned.
I adore her. I've been following since she was pregnant with Baby Ike. I think I found her through zero to forty, and I reread it every pregnancy. So much amalah love.
