Re: Weekly Randoms go here...
Good luck @WinniethePoohsPants and @HBMama2B
I'm whining because today is my b-day and my H'S captain texted him at 8 pm last night that he had to fish today
I want to so badly correct the "How much clothes" post. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks ladies
Happy birthday @fishwife799!!!!!!!!!!
Well- happy birthday no matter what birthday it is, I hope your day turns around and you feel like the pretty lady you are!
To jump on board the whole "how many days left?" thing, I just checked--79! (I think...even though it was minutes ago that I looked, that's how much of a fog I've been in these last couple of days. Screw you, daylight savings time!)
Also, as an update about my best friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer...she and her surgeon have decided that she will undergo a bilateral mastectomy. Holy shit. I can't even imagine...I know she's in for a long road. She sounds really confident in the decision, though, and I fully support her. She's had lumps and subsequent mammograms and biopsies since 28 (we're 36 now), and I can understand just wanting to alleviate that worry for the future. Still waiting on the results of the genetic tests (to see if she has the BRCA gene) and that will determine whether or not they will need to think about having her ovaries out at some point. Her doctor doesn't think the test will come back positive, though, so that's good. But man...I hate that she has to go through this. I'm determined to be there for her in whatever way she needs me.
On the POSITIVE side...her boyfriend of a long time (who is awesome, by the way) proposed to her! He was in between jobs and wanted to wait until he had something lined up, but he said there was no way she was going through this without knowing 100% that he was with her for life. She asked me to be her matron of honor, and I am so thrilled for the two of them! I'm already dreaming up my wedding toast, although the plans are very much up in the air at this point. But what a great thing for them to look forward to as they begin the whole process of her treatment.
@shannonrnbsn I'm sorry. I hope you read it incorrectly
@MamaNicoleof3 this skating parent actually lives only a few blocks away from us, and she told me she would do my coffee runs in the morning once the baby is born. Lol. She is DEFINITELY a keeper!!!
Thanks to all for the well wishes, but I read it right. Failed. Scored 168 when it should have been 140. So now referred to high risk for monitoring. Spent the morning crying, but will be just fine. I can do anything for my boy for three months.
Wasn't planning on it.....
@parsonsperson glad to hear there are some positive things going for your friend!

@ahernandez16- doooooo it!
This lady's a real peach.
I mean, what, is there some sort of sandpaper protocol? Is it recommended to start at about a 120 grit and progress up to 220 to really rough 'em up at first and end with a smoother finish texture-wise for baby, or is it OK to just keep at it with 220 grit for gentle abrading throughout? She really should have been more specific.
@ahernandez16 - whaaaaaaaat?! Who says that?!?!
@parsonsperson - love that story! So glad she has such a wonderful support system and best wishes for the road ahead!
@shannonrnbsn - I'm so sorry but so proud of your positive attitude! You're going to be a great labor buddy! ❤️
and wait, @ahernandez16..SANDPAPER on your NIPS?!!!! I mean, why not just use a circular sander and really get the job done right? Is that lady insane?! No. Just...no.
@parsonsperson Your friend's story made me tear up! Here's to hoping it will all work out great.
Sorry to hear @shannonrnbsn. @parsonsperson so glad your friend has an awesome support system!
Time for nipple gifing!!!!!
@parsonsperson I'm glad your friend has a strong plan that she's comfortable with in place, and a wedding to look forward to!
@ahernandez16 the thought of ribbons sand paper on my nipples gives me the hibby jibbies! I've nursed two babies and didn't "toughen" up at all, but my mother kept insisting that I needed to with a wash rag during every shower. No thanks mom!
@parsonperson so glad to hear the update and that your friend is so strong. So glad she has you in her corner too!
@shannonrnbsn I'm glad you were referred quickly and hope you have a great team supporting you through the rest of the pregnant. Really admire your strength and determination. We are here for you!
@ahernandez16 she said what?!?! She goes straight for the hard stuff doesn't she? Hello bdsm in the work place, totes not awkward. Or maybe option B: Boobie Spa??? But why is she talking about your nipples in the first place?????
@fishwife799 Happy birthday!
@parsonsperson - your story totally made me tear up, as did @shannonrnbsn - your perfect attitude about your results. I'm feeling all the emotions today.
Happy birthday @fishwife799 !!!
Oh my god. I should totally bring sandpaper with me to the office...
YES. And make eye contact/wink at her as I slowly close my office door and start that thing up during lunch.
@parsonsperson - I know that your friend is going through a tough time but to echo what PP said- she is really to have you and her new fiance both.
@shannonrnbsn- Ugh. Sorry to hear that- I am still waiting on my three hour results. It at least looks like you weren't too far off? Maybe it won't be so bad to manage.
@ahernandez16 - That is so upsetting. I'm not even sure how I would have reacted. I'm actually reacting poorly in my cube as we speak and it didn't even happen to me.
