Hi ladies! On my N14 board we had a massive chat thread that spanned from BFP to birth! I thought we could do this too- a constant chat! Just pop in and out (no need to fully catch up) and chat so we can get to know each other....and marvel at the BSC that will descend soon!

Helloooo!

... I'm about to go into a two and a half hour training course for Customer Service.... I don't do anything with customer service!  I have so many more important tasks I need to be working on instead of sitting in a training course that isn't designed for my line of work.  But because they selected people based on generic titles, I got lumped in with the other departments.  

....ahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

Your badges make me want to get to know you.

@cattuccino I am be slightly opinionated and outspoken lol but at heart I'm a gun-toting, bible-loving conservative who loves Ben Carson.

Hi girls! I'm out for a walk while both kiddos are in school. It's a hot 85 degrees out in SoCal today so mama isn't running. It's been five years since I was pregnant so this all feels so new to me, it's fun. But oh the cramps and nausea already! Weird.

Anybody know if there's a way to get rid of those 5 posts by bump admins at the top of the page. They annoy me. I don't want to have to scroll so much before I find the good stuff!

All of a sudden we are in a freaking humidity heat wave here! DH took out our AC unit 2 weeks ago because it was going down into the low 60s at night! Now it's almost 80 and I feel like I'm sitting in a wet sock Of course it did nothing for the nausea I had this morning!!

Nope they are "pinned" by them. If we want this one pinned so it remains on the top we can ask bump admin

It's like 58, cloudy, and breezy here in NE Ohio. And so begins the long plummet into everlasting winter. Why do I live here??

I have to say though, I'm glad to be pregnant in the winter vs. summer.

What is this winter you speak of?!?

call+it+magic

I miss winter!
I live in the Amazon where is hot and humid the whole all year long! It's so hot lately that i don't have enough energy to leave the house. My best friend now is my AC unit....
And I also miss being able to change clothes for different seasons.... It's really boring having to wear the same clothes all year around!

cattuccino

In in denial.
Hate winter.

I fear DD will want to play in the snow a lot this year.
Bonus is the little extra furnace. But it ends there.

I have the same fear. Once she got over the weirdness of the snow being as deep as she was tall, she loved playing outside. Me, not so much.

@CupcakesRamazing that looks nice and cozy and awesome in December. Not in March haha. Or October.

So something crazy/weird/kinda cool happened today!

I got a new job, which allows me to work 100% from home (yipeee!!!)!  Well, I went to put in my two week notice today around 3:15ish this afternoon.  At 3:50 I was told they were going to have me leave today and would pay me through the duration of what WOULD have been my two weeks.  Hello two week paid vacation!!!!

Now I can focus on cleaning and doing a lot of crap around teh house that's long overdue to be done...

Michigan is racing toward winter, too. I have to admit that I love the changing seasons. I am riding high on a wave of pride-my team at work finally got their shit together and started working as a unit instead of a group of poorly trained monkeys. ETA: words >:P

@FutureMrsCAF I'm in NE Ohio as well, love the fall, hate the winter.  At least we won't be huge in the middle of the summer humidity.

@mrsp2213 Hhhheeeeyyyy fellow NE Ohioan! :-h And I agree, the humidity this summer was no joke, I can't imagine being pregnant through it!

Also: it's my current goal to become a GIF master. But they terrify me.

For reference: there's a lovely GIF of awkward Britney I'd love to share.

jerseybroadwaybaby

How do you GIF....I'm old and they were just starting the last time I was on the bump!
