@NicknShan you're amazing.

I was just going to say she won TB. Like all of it. 

Oh my gawd. Dying, dying in my cubicle right now. Of course, she's now going to start a new thread on the benefits of raw potato. And we are going to respond with an in depth debate about raw vs tater tot hot dish. Eventually it will escalate outside the bump, a revolution will occur, and there will be a new civil war in the US. This rainbow bright character causes so much drama!

ETA: I really did have two cubes of raw potato last night, but I think it was the chorizo that made baby dance.

Someone please start a debate like @HBamama2B suggested. Please, please, please!

Our Jeep's check engine light came on last week, I tightened the gas cap and it didn't go away... so I took it in today.  On the way, the light went off.  Turns out, it takes 5-10 "key cycles" to clear the light after the issue is fixed.  So I wasted my lunch hour at the dealership looking like an idiot because I don't know how to properly put gas in a car.

And now I would like to drown my sorrows in root beer float, but we have no root beer or ice cream.  Good thing there are some ridiculous threads to catch up on!

Went in to so my GD screening test. My number was 150. Don't know what that means. The guy didn't tell me anything. Now I'm waiting to get more blood drawn and I'm going to be late for work. Pregnancy is super inconvenient.

Was that your first draw?  Before you drank the drink?  Or the results from the 1-hour?

That was after my one hour.

It's a good thing my office door was closed because I'm pretty sure the sound that came out of my mouth when I saw that comment wasn't human.

Ah. If it was before you would have failed miserably before it even begun.  After, that depends.  Every OB has their own limits.  Anything over 135 fails at my OB.  Guessing you'll have to take the 3 hour.

Can we also please talk about eating raw potatoes with the girl who has gained NINE POUNDS AND OMG I HOPE THIS SLOWS DOWN!??!?!?! I am irrationally angry about her post.

kwife15

Yes @courtjack! There should be a ban on posts like this. I almost trolled that thread by saying how I haven't gained almost anything and work out three times a day. GO AWAY weight gain compare people.

So much anger. I want to be so effing snarky right now on so many posts. Instead, I'll sit at my desk and eat baby carrots like they're going out of style. Because they're my deal this pregnancy.....this dude is going to come out orange.

MamaNicoleof3

Oops. I didn't feel like stopping myself. I responded.

ETA: clearly my self control is functioning super well right now.

I had to post..... I seriously held my tongue because 9 pounds is NOTHING compared to the 30 I put on already. Betch is looking for a verbal smack down.

I'm sorry for my stupid posts and replies....I'm having issues with the app.

I hope each of us can recognize a satirical new thread when it is posted.

I don't want to be left out of creating new threads. Just because I know how to Google.

I was really hoping your new thread was going to be a super passive aggressive post about the magic of using Google/TB's search function. But it made me giggle nonetheless haha.

I hope she takes the raw potato advice posted. I couldn't help but share my wisdom about the additional benefits to consuming raw potatoes.

I hope she comes back now that she's getting some snark and says, "Wow. I don't know why everyone is being so rude. I was just asking a question. I thought this community was about support. Thanks to SOME wonderful ladies who have offered me helpful advice. I'll definitely try the raw potatoes and report back."

I'll die.

I love this thread.  I love June 2016.  I am cracking up with my office door closed.  Bahahahaha.

Can I just say thank you ladies for making my Monday? Go June 2016!

I have officially just met the "IDGAF" stage. Potato guns all round??

I found my first set of stretch marks.... Underside of my boobs! Makes sense considering I just got sized the other day and went from a 34-B to a 36-D. Gasp!!! Growing up ice skating nearly every single day, life didn't prepare me for bigger boobs!! Lol. Oh well. Bring on the boobs!!! This is how I feel today.... 

MsBeachNJ

Hey ladies, this morning work was busy & I didn't get on TB till after lunch - you guys have been busy!! I'm trying to catch up with everything! 

I have this wedding coming up next month that I've been trying to find a dress for... today the 2nd option arrived and it is not pretty. I've ordered these 2 and neither look like the model  on me (shocking I know!) what is it about maternity dresses that make me feel like I'm wearing an old matronly nightgown? I feel whale like in each of theses... back to the drawing board! 





Sorry for the huge pics Idk how to shrink them!

Today an old coworker of H's and his wife announced she was pregnant on Facebook. She's about 6 weeks along and was complaining about how sick she felt and I was like "OH MY GOD, GIRL....

first trimester is really fucking hard. I puked daily like clockwork. The only redeeming part was that I've never slept so much and so well in my entire life. Count down to that (hopefully) being over in 2 months instead of your due date... it'll make things go by a little faster. If you ever need anyone to complain about pregnancy with, I'm your gal."

Then she messaged me and told me I made her cry because all everyone's been telling her is "just wait it only gets worse" and "have you tried saltines?"

So, it is possible to be pregnant/have a child and be more knowledgeable than someone else and not be a douche. Good to know. Now I can tell all those people that just can't help themselves.

Don't order maternity, most maxis will fit over a bump unless they are the skin tight kind...try places like Belk, macys, even Tjmax or online places like filly flair. I've gotten non maternity dresses from there that fit fine now

MeganF08

@MsBeachNJ - I am having the same problem. Basically I stalked the post from @NicknShan and ordered her suggestions because I was out of ideas. Unfortunately I am on the shorter side and according to H, they all look like 'fancy trash bags' on me so yeah. I am going to try some non-maternity dresses at Macy's this week (again thanks to the suggestions from our friend @NicknShan). Here's hoping that we can find something reasonable to wear!

ahernandez16

@msbeachnj I bought a maternity dress for a wedding but it's shorter and tighter fitting so I don't feel so beached whaley - but I tried on a few longer, flowy dresses and they ALL had that fit which is why I opted for something shorter that hugged my bump.

I have a few stretchy maxi dresses that I have from before pregnancy that I wear pretty frequently and they seem to be more flattering than the maternity option. Maybe try just looking for something non maternity with a little stretch to it.

nicolesmith0624

I love you all. Best birth board ever.

Yes to Filly Flair! I've been obsessed with them for years. I've ordered at least 10-15 maxis from them over the past couple years and everyone of them still fits me. I'm so happy to be showing mostly in the spring/ summer so I can live in maxi dresses! Lol

Finally caught up on this thread from the weekend! I feel like I missed a ton.

Here's my random, and also a little bit of a PSA- if someone tries to talk you in to a nine hour road trip (one way) over the weekend anytime soon... don't do it!! It is miserable.

Sydvicious08

I actually bought a maxi from Fillyflair.com that is extremely comfy, alot of my tops come from there too.  I'll find a pic. ALSO,will they remove the page of "please.pin this" posts from the announcement thread?
