Weekly Randoms go here...

I am seriously doubled over in pain from gas right now. It's absolutely awful. Anyone else experience this yet? I've googled it and all I find is tips on how to avoid gas. NOT helpful right now.

MamaNicoleof3

The gas pains....I feel ya, @CourtJack

Emztron500

@CourtJack get down on all fours and push your chest to the floor and butt up in the air. Maybe make sure no one is watching, because not only will you look ridiculous, but that gas is gonna start coming out. 

CourtJack

@emztron500 - thank you! That helped!

Anyone else feel like this is our board this week? Like the woodwork exploded.

DeePaddy24

I just finished watching the Parenthood finale, & cried so hard I gave myself a headache. Pregnancy hormones are fun...

(ETA the GIF...it was necessary)

Emztron500

I've become too grumpy and argumentative for this board. I mostly hide on this thread, or just comment on other posts and then never return to see the rest of the idiocy

MamaNicoleof3

What @HBMama2B and @Emztron500 said. This place exploded and oh mylanta.

Yes! Why are so many lurkers popping up here on June all of the sudden??

samsonator

So many lurkers and/or usernames I've never seen before!! People must be bored on a Saturday night and checking out a bunch of other BMB's.

WinniethePoohsPants

Grrrr!!!! My gif wouldn't show up!!! WHY? And now I can't just delete this post
I'm going to try again if you'll forgive me.

WinniethePoohsPants

This is me reading the, "All these naming posts" thread.

MamaNicoleof3

^ that is me seeing all the random people coming out of freaking nowhere! Gahhhhh.

MamaNicoleof3

Like I missed two days a week ago and BAM! Hello....and you are?!?

Ugh yes! From my lurking elsewhere its fairly normal but the number of new usernames I've seen is astounding! I'm glad for new people if they join in for more than their 1 thread but something tells me many won't be around for too long.

NicknShan

How does Alanis Morisette still look so gorgeous?!?

I think I get more cleaning done in the half hour before people come to visit than I get done in an average week.

MamaNicoleof3

I feel like a freaking beached whale. I'm 19+4, have only gained 8 lbs, but I swear, all that weight is in my butt and thighs. I've started tracking calories, and I hope some of this chub disappears, although my hopes aren't high. I've always had thick thighs and a ghetto booty, and it gets better after PG, but UGGGHHHHHHHH.

Emztron500

@NicknShan Canadians don't age. Shhh, it's a secret.

Found it! I was gone so long I couldn't find the randoms thread....

I think we need a "Shit my husband says" thread. Or a book that we could all contribute to titled "What NOT to say to your pregnant wife".

Let me preface this by saying I am not complaining about DH, because he has been overall wonderful throughout this pregnancy. However, I will say that sometimes he should think long and hard before he lets something fly out of his mouth. And I'm glad we can find the humor in these moments 15 minutes after they happen.

Long story made somewhat shorter - we have been traveling since Wednesday, so we were both tired and overwhelmed after having another Christmas to go to on the opposite side of the state yesterday. There were a handful of moments on my part where I was forgetful or "having a blonde moment". When we got home, DH made a comment that went something like this: "The blonde moments are getting old - and they're happening a lot more often lately" - like I was doing it on purpose. My eyes opened wide, and I gave him a look that was a combination of my resting bitch face and the death glare. 

He went outside to grab something from the car, realized his mistake within about 60 seconds, came back in and apologized profusely. 

Haha when I was pregnant with my first, my husband told me to be careful walking up our walkway because "one of the stones might break". I'm pretty sure he should have dropped dead just from my look. Lol
He was referring to the fact that some were not very stable and might crack, I took it as a comment on how big I looked. I do bring it up 4 years later lol

Sydvicious08

Oh and speaking of pregnancy brain, I just went through some of the other posts and apparently I forget to actually press "post reply" when I answer lol. I've been involved in alot of discussions...or not oops

theatremandy

I finally went on a real grocery shopping trip today, not just getting a few things. I can't remember which post mentioned Doritos, but I made sure to stock up. Mmm.....Doritos.

starkeyclan

So I'm totally one of the lurkers! But hear me out, I was a dummy who put my name in my screen name to start out with and then realized I shouldn't have done that....and then it took me forever to get my screen name changed (aka a new account). So I hope you don't mind me finally coming out of the woodwork!

splsmama2016

Anatomy scan tomorrow!!!!!! more excited to see this alien dancing around in there than I am at the possibility of finding out the sex. So far, seeing the wiggle worm on my first u/s and the NT scan has been the best parts so far!

hollywoodave531

@sdLindenberg I have mine today (11th) too! I'm more excited just to see the baby again!

mrsschmity

Trying to get my fruits and veggies in, so I ate an apple with peanut butter this morning. Then an hour later had a leftover piece of cold pizza from last night. To be fair, I need the carbs for my workout in a little bit...that's legit right?

CourtJack

@mrsschmity - This morning I woke up all motivated to eat well and get more protein and more veggies. Then for breakfast I had two English muffins. My motivation is fleeting, clearly. I guess I could work out to justify it, too. But then I'd have to....you know, work out. Yuck.

NicknShan

As much as I am glad for the sex thread for all the random posters, I kind of wish all the regs would have their own individual thread for their "gender reveal" (or whatever you want to call it) from their a/s... because then I would know to actually look at it...

DeePaddy24

@NicknShan I've been noticing all the random/new names popping up in that thread, too! Maybe when regs find out we can update in the daily check in, as well as the sex thread. I don't want to miss any of those announcements either!!

Edited because I can't type on my phone today.

WinniethePoohsPants

Confession: when I find out the sex of my baby at the end of the month, I'm probably going to post it here and not the sex thread... because I don't even bother looking at the sex thread anymore

laurendiaz02

I'm eating Doritos for lunch. Lol. Spicy Doritos = heaven.

VikingGirl12

Before I open the sex thread I look to see who posted. If it's someone good, I open. Otherwise nope.

CourtJack

I guess I just don't get the point of posting the sex of your baby on a forum you don't actively contribute to. What's the point?

I can't like this enough. I hate that there are so many randos. Half the time they aren't even on the spreadsheet. I've gotten lazy and don't even add them half the time.

Ermahgerd yes.

^ all of that.

I'm craving A1 steak sauce to dip crackers in. And no, that's not just a weird PG thing. I do it all the time

Lemon pudding with whip cream and lucky charms is an awesome combination...just so you know.  My H tried to steal a bite and I almost stabbed him with my fork (we ran out of spoons in our house and I'm too lazy to do dishes right now).
