Aaaand there goes one fb group thread!

I'm sure the other will be gone in a matter of minutes!

Well this just sucks- you guys are posting all kinds of things on the fb threads, and they are all deemed inappropriate by my network so I can't see a one of them!

Wasn't that the goal?? 

skruhmin

I wonder if any of the FB groups are talking about the gif parties.  FYI you can't gif it up on FB.

Oh to be a fly on that wall..

Maybe we should rename "HDBD" post to "Please post pictures of your bumps here because some people are showing and some aren't and chances are you are somewhere in between"

bntfroggie

Sooooo I take my comment back about no one posting skin in the HDBD thread ha ha.  Although if my skin looked that good and not like I lost a war with my thighs to stretch makes maybe I'd post more nakie pictures.

I just feel like this is the internet so these pics could actually end up anywhere. When I post a bump pic it will be covered and also won't have my face on it. Really like you ladies but I trust no one lol.

Yep! I figure I don't have to worry about how many stretch marks this baby makes on my stomach since I already have so many for DS. Totally jealous of those who have escaped pregnancy with no stretch marks!

So I know a lot of you aren't fans of home dopplers but I was excited to find the babies heartbeat with my doppler last night. It took a few minutes but it was def. there and made me feel so much better. Counting down to my ultrasound on Monday.

How often has everyone been going to the doctor? Mine has been having me come in every three weeks. Maybe since I was earlier than I thought the first time? I don't remember going that often with DS but hey I am not complaining about it. I assume after this appointment he will only see me once a month. 

skruhmin

I've been going every 4 but thanks to a scheduled vacation this next visit will be right at 3 1/2 weeks, with my A/S 3 1/2 weeks after that.

red3ye

Every 2 weeks for me because there are 2. With ds, it was every 6 weeks till I was 8 months

skruhmin

@red3ye, this one is dedicated to you

skruhmin

And again...

red3ye

Ah, pregnant crazies don't know where I live so I can, I did, and I might again tomorrow, just to see what the response will be... muhwahahaha!

red3ye

Am I mean or what? Love you girls, this thread has to be the highlight of my days lately.

If it makes you feel better @skruhmin, I can imagine a few choice names *grins wickedly* but as this is the first time in 6 weeks that I will be eating something other than ramen, toast, or white rice, I don't mind the name calling *sticks tongue out for good measure*. And @ecwk I won't be having to soup, but only because I'm tired of anything close to ramen noodles

GIrl , I feel you on the Ramen ... I should have purchased stock in it this pregnancy. At least it is a cheap calm for my tummy ... That and now Popcicles are what I am handling .

ACleanLife24

Re: dopler... got my friends one and love playing with it. I can clearly identify mine vs the baby now and it does help to clear the crazies

FFFC starting early.... I don't like olive garden... put it to being gluten intolerant but if I am going to cheat it's going to be for an 80yo Italian grandma cranking it out by hand

smount2011

My next appointment is 9/23 but I go every week from there on out.  I get the progesterone shot from weeks 16-36.

red3ye

Popsicles: 6-8 per day for me, lol

skruhmin

Hey @red3ye


NO MORE SUGGESTIVE CRAVINGS!!!

Hey, anyone else ready to pig out on thanksgiving turkey? My siblings don't know it yet but they better host with a big tuckey and plenty of stuffing. Sorry, that turkey made me think of it

OMG YES!!! And as bad as it sounds I want nasty instant mashed potatoes with the brown lumpy-jar gravy!!!

If I could love this a million times  I would ... this is part of my meal plan tonight to try an deviate from Ramen

spacemountaineer

I'm with @skruhmin, no more suggestive cravings! I just had to go out and by Chinese food. I would have bought O.G. but the closest one is an hour away.

It looks like she's standing in her jacuzzi.
FWIW, I have soooo many stretch marks from the 70 pounds I gained with my first, and when my belly isn't all big with a baby or fat, it's all saggy, empty, wrinkly elephant skin. I try to love it anyway for holding these babies though.

skruhmin

Yup.  The bottom of my belly is not the prettiest - it just kind of hangs there.  Can't wait for the belly to fill that out again.  Pregnancy does funky things to bodies!

Holy moly you ladies are bumping a lot today! I never get a chance during the day but I love catching up on this thread! 

@SparkE82, that's fantastic news!

 @skruhmin I didn't check yet but if there is a gif party happening on the FB thread I am so there! 

In other news, there was just a girl fight at school, I was first on the scene with 2 colleagues and it only struck me after how careful I have to be in these situations. My colleague got mad at me for going to break them up because I'm pregnant. I didn't actually get between them, the two others separated them before I could but she is so right, I really should have stopped to think before almost getting involved! 

:-O

I know what you mean about being more careful. Yesterday one of my students got angry and began basically hanging off my arms while he tried to keep me from walking away (he is a big 1st grader 60-70 lbs). I finally talked him down and he stopped pulling on me, but since I am on pelvic rest I worried the whole rest of the day about the incident. I had to make a mental note not to put myself in that position again. Hard when it goes against your instincts.

oceanchild

Yes! Hangy-downy. C'est la vie!

Thursday of the first week of school and I am literally so tired I don't even have the energy to put DS to sleep. We are watching at and the hat and I am just hoping he falls asleep on the couch. I forgot how exhausting it is to corral 20 first graders and be on your feet all day. I think I am going to bed as soon as ds does.

smount2011

I was doing good the past few days with my energy. Tonight? Don't have any left. No crocheting tonight. It's early to bed instead.

Happily about to scroll through the board when I see a nub theory drive by.

mrspepper05

Man, I was gone all day and missed so much! 

Hate you all for the Olive Garden suggestion. I was right by O.G. today, but didn't have time to place a to go order. I need to remember to think ahead!!

And oh yeah am I right there with you on the stretch marks. I didn't get any until 37 weeks with DD1, but it was all downhill after that. I, too, call my non-pregnant belly my elephant butt. So gross. 

mrspepper05

I had another ultrasound today to check on my stupid SCH. It still hasn't changed at all, which is starting to worry me a little bit. But good news: The baby no longer looks like a mermaid, and I checked and double checked to make sure it doesn't have a unicorn horn! I think I'm in the clear!

Happy to hear baby is looking well! Good job you're not pushing a unicorn out of your hoo-ha!! Hope the SCH gets better soon, I'm sure they're keeping an eye on it!

I'm so friggin exhausted now that school is back, my kids are awesome but it is a draining job! I so admire people who have kids and do it, I have no idea how it's done but I have total respect!

MY IN LAWS BOUGHT SALAD MIX AND OLIVE GARDEN DRESSING FOR DINNER!!!!!

oceanchild

I always take my bumpies in the bathroom, but I also make sure that the kids' undies on the floor aren't visible in the pic, and that at the very least THE TOILET IS CLOSED! Haha! I *always* find myself checking out the backgrounds of people's selfies (household stuff, their car, sunglasses reflections, etc). I don't think everyone is going to straighten up for their selfies – it's nice to see what real life looks like – but open toilets in photos just make me cringe for some reason LOL
