@samsonator totally! I just keep waiting for the therapist to go, "Farah, you have narcissistic personality disorder." Or something.

Totally! And Farrah would be all like, "you know, I just don't need this negativity in my life because I'm a positive person, so you know what, you can just shut up. Come on Soph" lol. 
And yes @ahernandez16 , I feel bad for Sophia with the horrible modeling and parenting. She already acts like a complete brat. 
And I thought it was hysterical that Farrah was trying to blame the "controversy" on teen mom and not the porn and sex toy line.

@samsonator hahaha! I totally read that in her voice.

Anyways, I went to change out of pjs his morning, and my shirt was legit stuck to my nipple

My kid was puking all night again. 6 times in 2 weeks. What the hell is happening. I'm so exhausted and worried.

Obviously we are going to the doctor (appointment tomorrow morning) but just venting...this is a very disgusting and exhausting ordeal I think it's time to try an elimination diet which I'm sure my toddler is going to be a HUGE fan of, right? Ugh. 

Sorry to hear that!! Hang in there! Hope you get a quick fix from the dr!

Hope your appt goes well today Emztron500. Hopefully your LO is feeling better.

Thanks @CourtJack and @MsBeachNJ . He said she has hardly gained any weight at all since 12 months, but her height has climbed steadily and she seems healthy and not malnourished so he's treating it as simple reflux. Got some medicine for her. Fingers crossed for no more barf nights!

MamaNicoleof3

@Emztron500 glad the appt went well and I hope the meds help!!!

my randomness- I HATE the stupid "10 things you HAVE TO DO before...." articles.

Tomorrow I get to finally comment on the sex thread and I'm not sure how I feel about it. Knowing this is my last baby is a very odd feeling and it's kind of bitter sweet.

So beyond exhausted and hormonal but I was feeling nauseated so figured I'd better eat a snack before bed and cruise Pinterest while I was at it...and this is the first thing I clicked on. My husband keeps asking me whether I'm laughing or crying and why. I CAN'T PULL MYSELF TOGETHER. This probably won't even be funny in the morning but right now it's the most hilarious thing I've read in my entire life https://www.buzzfeed.com/lukebailey/no-one-man-should-have-all-those-fails?utm_term=.lg3XZBv90#.csyBYd0w8

@fishwife799 I felt the exact same way before our anatomy scan. You're definitely not alone. I'm still adjusting to the news, lol.

Good luck today! I'm excited for your update!

COFFEE. Enough said. It's my hug in a mug.
Also, my innie belly button is slowly becoming non-existent. This is weird.

Acording to the anatomy scan yesterday, baby is currently hanging out booty down, so I'm feeling all kinds of low kicks. This very moment, it seems baby loves coffee as much as mama because baby is doing the hokey pokey. Startin' 'em off right! *Fist pump*

Yasssss! Our dude LOVES him some coffee, too! He goes nuts about 15 minutes after I have my cup in the morning and continues doing flips for a good half hour. He's going to be like his brother....a ball of energy. Good thing the coffee will keep me sane

God BLESS coffee  

I texted DH to tell him about the kicks and how that obviously means baby loves coffee. He says "....or that means they hate it". I replied "No, they love it. A mother knows. *in my haughtiest voice*". It's science.

I haven't had caffeine in 8mths. Some days I don't miss it and can't remember how it felt to need it. Some days, like today, I feel like I'd help someone move a body just for a hot cup of black French press coffee.

Ditto.  I gave it 100% up before I knew you could have up to 200 mg a day and now that I'm off coffee, I would rather stay off it through delivery.  Plus, then I can drink all the hot chocolate I want and not remotely worry about the small amount of caffeine in it.  That all being said there's been a few days where a cup of coffee would have been so damn amazing.

My coworker had a complete and total meltdown and freaked out on my boss at today. I think she's ready to walk. I'm sure most of you have read my complaints about my boss/his wife and the same and so much more I haven't disclosed here that they've done to us applies to her and she's been here for 10 years. So I don't blame her. I knew she was going to talk to him today, I just didn't anticipate the full fledged freak out.
Anyway, there's only the two of us in the office plus my boss and the guy at the front desk (who is coworker's little brother) so needless to say things are super tense and awkward in the office right now.

Part of me selfishly hopes she stays. The brunt of the work will fall on me because my boss is useless and I'm sure her brother will leave with her. But the other part selfishly hopes she does go, mostly because fuck this place and I'd love to see her stick it to my boss but also because I'll have him in the palm of my hand and say, hey. Give me the raises you've been promising me for the last 2 years or I'm out, too... which would leave him with zero employees.

At any rate, I'm glad I only work a half day today. 2 more hours....

Wow.  Yeah, that's a tough situation to be in.  If she does go, though, I hope you get your raise!

Tonight I get to go to a celebratory happy hour for earning an incentive with my wine company.  We're going to sample all of our premium dollar wines ($45-$67).  Yay......

I feel like such a hypocrite for chastising my DS when he pees his pants a lil bit.

Nope...unless I missed it too?! I believe we're still waiting!! 

fishwife799

Sorry it's so late! I'm on the west coast and my doctor is a 2 hours drive from our house so we just got home about an hour ago. As it turns out this baby is a little more modest than my older two and wouldn't give us a good shot. My doctor said she wouldn't even take a guess. I still have my AS in 3 weeks but on the way home we got to talking and we think we may wait until baby gets here. I wanted to be team green with our son but he wanted to know so we find out. The more I think about it the more I want to do it. We already have one of each and all of our big stuff is neutral anyways. I think it would be a fun surprise especially since it's our last baby  

dennyandlee

Ahh! Welcome to team green! Baby wants to be a surprise too! I think that's a great idea!

HBamama2B

@theatremandy I liked your post cause wine is AWESOME, then realized oh...oh wait. Man that's messed up.

@fishwife799 wahoo for team green!! Welcome

Aw man! Well listen - you are  patient woman. I would've been so grumpy! Good for you and i wish I had the patience to be team green! How exciting will it be when the baby gets here! other than the modesty-all looked ok?

mrsschmity

Virtual fist bump for joining us over on team green @fishwife799  

mrsschmity

Also, H got home from work early today and offered to make dinner. I didn't even have to ask. And he cleaned up. AND he's currently in the kitchen whipping up 2 milkshakes. I'm impressed and thoroughly enjoying this sudden pampering. He may get lucky tonight. 

fishwife799

@CourtJack yup, everything looked good. It was just in my doctors office so she was looking just to see the sex so she didn't do any measurements or anything. Buthe baby was moving which is always a good thing  

crdo

Woohoo, another for team green @fishwife799!

So this is still a little early seeing as we all aren't quite yet halfway through (myself included. Damn being at the end of the month!). But is anyone interested in labor buddies? I thought I would bring it up here since a lot of the regulars read this thread. Then when we get closer to viability we can maybe start a thread for people who are interested in having one.

Excuse my FTM-ness here but what exactly is a labor buddy? 

mkemommy

@fishwife799 - I'm going to show my cluelessness here but what is a labor buddy?  Is it like a drinking buddy?  Because I like those.  

My random for the night...I've decided baby doesn't like yoga.  I went to a yoga class at lunch today and she was kicking me...hard.  This is brand spanking new for me (the kicking) but MAN was she actively communicating something to me in that class.  For spin class at the gym tonight she was nice and calm (I went to the gym twice today because H was late at work and he's my ride home...don't worry I made up for it by eating gluten-free cake with extra frosting).

fishwife799

@Sgoldberg247 @mkemommy on my last BMB it was someone who could update the board while you were in labor. We paired up just after 24 weeks and got to know each other a little better over private messages. My labor buddy and I exchanged phone numbers around 36-37 weeks and started texting. That way I could just update her a little easier and she could update the board of where I was at during my delivery. TB isn't always the most user friendly site and some people don't use the mobile app so it makes it a little easier. Not everyone participated and not everyone shared their personal phone numbers. That's just how her and I chose to do it. 

ETA- I did some lurking and found a much better explanation than my own

Someone volunteered to set up the pairs and some people chose to team up on their own. She tried to do people with similar posting history so someone who posted regularly didn't get paired with a random person they didn't recognize. I would be willing to a pair people up when it comes time to do it if enough people are interested. 

lynnernon

@fishwife799 I'm theoretically interested but not sure yet. Right now I'm just picturing DH rolling his eyes at me wanting to add an online community to the group of people we're updating. Even though I'm on here all the time and read stuff to him too. 

My random: up right now shivering in the living room having a 2am ice cream snack because my cat woke me up and I was too hungry to go back to sleep. I need to eat more vegetables. Also I purposely chose the mini-bowl to limit myself but just filled it twice. Breyers mint chocolate chip is my FAVORITE!!

Living through WI winter right now but going through ice cream like it's summer in NC!
