I lost track of the conversation and thought this blue bag vs green bag conversation was talking about placenta bags again.

I vote for half peanut butter, half dark chocolate or almond in the same bowl so you get a little of both types of m&m's when you bite into a few!

So happy! Got home and had a pre-dinner snack of Oreos, Bc of course. Baby must have loved or hated them Bc he started kicking a storm. I called DH over and he got to feel it! The kicks got so strong you could see them move my tummy.

I'm FTM, 18+6 with an anterior placenta so total win! Thought it would be a while before DH got to feel. I've felt him off and on for a couple weeks but the last few days I've been able to feel him several times throughout the day. Love this!

Give me a bag of Cheetos over M&Ms anyday!

Yesssss. I much prefer salty over sweet. Dakota Style chips are amazeballs.

@Emztron500- blue vs green is totally for the placentas.

Re: the m&m discussion: Plain m&ms in a ceramic bowl, microwaved for 30-35 seconds. So delicious.

Oooh. Or a handful of m&m's tossed around in a freshly popped bag of popcorn. Oh lawd.

I thought I was the only one that did this!!!

Popcorn and Ms are the best combo. The salty, the sweet, the melty.....

I could never get on board with the salty/sweet mix.  Why ruin a perfectly tasty bag of popcorn or perfectly delicious chocolate by mixing them together?!  I'm strictly in the "food should not touch on a plate" camp, so... not sure my opinion counts in this arena.

It's Friday. I'm off today. The kids are at school. The husband is at work. I have 7 glorious hours to do whatever the heck I want.... I woke up with a nasty head cold.

They have panache bras on Zulily today and I got one of my favorites for $24.99 that's usually around $60. Finding bras I love is hard so I love when I can get a good deal on one.

CourtJack

Man. I suck I guess. But I hate m&ms. Smarties all the way!!

I just saw this and wasn't happy. Although the article I read said the contamination was from July, so hopefully it won't be something impacting us now!

They said that they are recalling anything that the factory has on shelves right now and anything that was produced there because while it did happen in July they just confirmed thats where it came from (aka they haven't changed anything at the factory to make it risk go away yet).

Oh boy, I totally misread that article. Thanks for the clarification!

I am completely done posting on any boards not started by a regular or these regular ones. Unless I can add really valuable input, I give up. It's hopeless. I think people post just to see themselves talk.

I'm covered in glitter!!!! Gotta love any fabric that's got glitter embedded in it. The life of a seamstress

My indoor-only cat woke up at 4am and dropped a dead, bloody mouse in my hair. I feel legitimately traumatized: where did the mouse come from? are there more mice? why does my cat hate me? when did my sweet little kitten turn into a vicious, cold-blooded murderer?

Emztron500

@catherinekate omg that's so upsetting in so many ways, haha. I've mostly lived in highrise apartments where there are no mice, but for one year DH and I did rent a little old house and we found the occasional mouse that had been murdered by our indoor cat (never knew he had it in him!) I just told myself it meant that if there were any mice in the house, the cat had it under control and I didn't need to worry about it??

DeePaddy24

Trying out a new hair salon today, & they serve WINE while you get your hair done. Of course I had to discover this while pregnant. Such a smart idea!

CourtJack

Honestly - yah our board is a lot friendlier than I was expecting, but when the snark does come out-it's amazing and hilarious. It's like, you gotta work for it but when it comes it's fantastic. Love it.

MamaNicoleof3

@DeePaddy24- that sounds amazeballs! I finally got my hair highlighted yesterday for the first time in almost a year. It was fab! I hope you're enjoying it!!

MamaNicoleof3

@CourtJack- I wish our board was 853983 times more snarky.

I know. A lot of people do. I enjoy snark, too-when warranted-I really do. But I don't enjoy stupid snark that is snarky just for the sake of being snarky. It's annoying. Did I say snarky enough there? Snarky.

WSU2015

I want to kick my FIL in the teeth. Every time I see him he smashes his face into my belly and opens his mouth and nibbles on my stomache while making a weird "NOM NOM NOM" type noise. It's super uncomfortable and I'm getting really tired of it. He is a really innapropriate person in general with no boundaries. When he does it I always push him away and back up but apparently he's not taking a hint. I'm going to have to say something. This is my husbands step dad not his biological dad, thankfully.

HBamama2B

@WSU2015 what. The. Fu?! NIBBLES?!?!

WSU2015

@HBMama2B
Yes, he full on molests my belly with his mouth. It's facking gross!!!!!!! The first time he did it I was like ok freak get off me. But now its happened the last three times I've been around him and I'm going to have to put an end to it...Miss Piggy style.

crdo

@WSU2015: OMG I'm horrified for you!!

"What the F is wrong with you?! Don't you have ANY boundaries?! Don't you ever do that to me again or I will kick you so hard you'll sing soprano for the rest of your life!" That. That comes to mind.

Not that you asked for input, but I don't think you have ANY obligation to be polite or calm in the least next time he tries that. That's f*cking f*cked up. *shudder*

ahernandez16

@WSU2015 what. the fuck. Just reading that made me uncomfortable. Sock him.

ahernandez16

I just got back from watching Sisters. Holy cow. I almost peed myself... freaking hysterical.

BabyboyS2016

@WSU2015 oh HELL no.

catherinekate

@wsu2015 wtf! That's so wrong. Your husband needs to tell him to back off. Is there no one else around him to tell him how completely unacceptable that behaviour is?

WSU2015

He is one of those people who enjoys making others uncomfortable. He does the belly groping in front of my MIL and DH and no one is even phased by it because it's his normal behavior. But I'm DONE. I can't go through five more months of this!!!!!

@crdo that's actually great advice. I've been trying to brush it off but I just can't anymore. He's being totally disrespectful and I shouldn't feel obligated to worry about how it's going to make him feel when I shut it down. He's being a real ass.

MamaNicoleof3

@WSU2015- That is SO MESSED UP. I'm going to have nightmares about the creepiness. I'm sorry!!

WSU2015

@catherinekate I actually told DH last night how bothered I was by it and he said he will happily say something if I don't want to. Next time we see FIL we will have a game plan to stop this craziness.
