Thank you all for the clarification.  That's really good to know.  If I loose my mucus plug early I probably would have headed to the hospital thinking I'm in labor.  Sigh...so much to learn.

@DeePaddy24 haha! I've been bumping on mobile because it makes me uncomfortable. I feel like I can't commit to it for the whole month because it's so freaky but also there's about 100 others I want to use.

HENCE WHY YOU SHOULD BECOME A NURSE! I ate cereal out of an emesis basin. We have a weird sense of humor. 

Girl. My mom was an RN in Endo. We heard all the stories at supper. Not much grosses me out and I would totally eat any (food related) item
out of a emesis basin!

H and I are waiting for our food at lunch and we're are in a long booth between 3 couples sitting on the same side of the booth instead of across from each other. One of the couples is feeding each other. 

I'm so uncomfortable. 

That is so freaking weird.

Your mucus plug can grow back, too, just an FYI @amangels2

I.CAN'T.EVEN with the "Parenting" board and the dog topic/advice there.  I'm really pissed right now.

I know I'm hormonal but that made me want to cry.  I mean advocating theft, at best, and letting the dog get hit by a car/starve, at worst, is just terrible.

Welp. I'll never get that image out of my head, lol. Way to ruin the cream eggs for me!

@CourtJack I had the same fight with H. I was like you never come on to me anymore and your only compliment is that I'm cute....I'm not a facking child!

@shannonrnbsn when I was in nursing school we were doing our maternity lecture and the professor was talking about the "cream cheese coating" on the babies while I was eating a bagel with extra cream cheese. Everyone looked at me as if I would stop eating...nope finished my whole bagel and it was delicious lol. Nurses have to have tough stomachs! 2 of my peers and I were discussing in detail birth at Bob Evans and this old guy kept staring at us. It took us a minute to realize that was not restaurant talk

Part of me wants to go over there are read this obviously horrendous thread...but then the other part of me is all:

Has anyone seen the Garfield Christmas Special, the one from the 80s? Whenever I see @ahernandez16 's sig photo, this is all I can think of:

ahernandez16

So my friend that's moving sent me a message saying she unexpectedly has to leave Friday which means she won't be here for her baby shower. Obviously I'm devastated because that means I don't get to see her before she leaves. I'm in class when I get this text and I got up and left because I thought I was going to cry/throw up. I don't usually cry, even now, so probably the latter. 

Then she texts me back literally 5 minutes later after I somewhat compose myself and am walking back into class that she had her dates wrong and will be there for her shower. 

She's 34 weeks pregnant. So, she of all people, really should know better than to be fucking with a pregnant lady like this.

Work is ruling my life thanks to report card and conference week...but goodness I appreciate having something to unwind with...aka this board and specifically this thread!

The thing that scares me about Trump winning the primaries (other than so many people legitimately thinking he's a worthy candidate) is that SO many people just vote blindly Republican/Democrat.

So, even though SO many Republicans now say they won't vote for him, come November a good majority of them will end up voting for Trump because they just could never consider voting for anyone who is not a Republican. My family is like this and it drives me nuts. They'd rather vote for the devil reincarnate than a "goddamn liberal."

Kballew10

@ahernandez16 - A coworker of mine said almost that exact phrase yesterday and I lost every ounce of respect that I had for him.  How can people legitimately believe that Trump is not WORSE than ANY OTHER OPTION!? It makes me sad to be an American.

Lilwatz

Morning!  How has no one posted a bunch of Trump/Christie memes yet?!?!  Hands down best part of yesterday. 

MeganF08

@mkemommy - I read the thread but I shouldn't have

Also, I would just like to note that Trump did not win Texas which makes me especially proud of my people. Still giving a big WTF to some of the other states but definitely feeling some Texas pride.

I was just catching up on those memes @Lilwatz

There are so many great quotes in tweets.  But they aren't on the image so they aren't droppable in this thread.  Here are some of my favorites:

"Standing behind Donald Trump on Tuesday was a man who has just realized his own mortality..."

"Chris Christie's facial expressions are pages out of a mid-century dystopian novel."

...and my favorite:

"Chris Christie standing behind Trump looks confused, like he just Quantum Leaped into this body and is slowly realizing where he is."

And, we cannot forget this gem:

catherinekate

@lilwatz Haha, yes, I was trying to figure out how to embed tweets.

"If you mute this Trump speech, it looks like they're holding a bachelor auction but no one will bid on Chris Christie."

"Chris Christie is blinking "PLEASE KILL ME" in Morse code."

"Chris Christie looks about as happy as Mel Gibson did to be onstage with Ricky Gervais."

Bachelor auction.  DEAD.

I have the "Drumpfinator" on my computer now (if you haven't seen that episode of Last Week Tonight, I highly recommend it) so every time someone writes, "Trump," it shows up as "Drumpf," and I'm loving it. 

gray51015

@MeganF08 I was so glad Trump didn't win Texas, but also super nervous until the polls closed since my Facebook newsfeed was filled with ridiculouness about him yesterday.

lunagrl79

Why do his eyes look like that? Is it from tanning bed goggles? (Just trying to distract myself from the real issues since I'm so upset and scared. And I've been stress eating brownies since about 8pm last night). 

WinniethePoohsPants

Wow I am soooo behind. I was in bed all day yesterday (I'll spare y'all the details) 
1. Cadbury eggs are awesome
2. John Oliver is now one of my favorite shows after his latest Drumpf episode
3. FTMs, don't google mucus plug- you'll know it when you see it.

I was wondering the same thing...I came to the same conclusion that it must be the googles.  With all his money, he can't get a better tan?

Also, we currently have 9 stickies.
The average amount on the other '16 BMBs is 7.

How do you mobile bumpies handle it?? I'm annoyed just using my desk top.

It's all the threads stuck to the top of June '16 board that you have to scroll through to get to the threads that bumpies actually respond to. 

TunieBee

This is probably a UO but everytime I read a post from a mom-to-be about how she can't handle stress/pregnancy/her husband, etc. because of chronic medical issues i.e. fibromyalgia, chronic pain, depression and/or financial issues I can't help but wonder what they will do with a child to care for. As a healthcare provider, I have tremendous sympathy for these people but as a mother, I have to question their choice to bring a child into the mix (doesn't seem fair to them OR the child). At the same time, I would never want to deny motherhood to anyone. I'm conflicted (and can't help but judge/side-eye).
