My FFFC is that I'm at this huge conference for work and instead of networking, I had a nice dinner and a dessert by myself and went to bed 7:30. It was glorious.

I'm not an Idol fan...I think the show ran its course years ago! But, I just watched Kelly Clarkson's performance from last nights show & totally teared up when she got to "A Moment Like This." I'm just a big hormonal mess. 

Another: H is bitching that he has to get the Tdap shot, because he hates needles & in his words, "it's going to hurt." Not a single part of me feels sorry for the guy. Listen, dude...I've got to get it, too. Plus the Rhogam shot...not to mention physically give birth to your child. I think you can handle one needle. 

MsBeachNJ

@DeePaddy24 I totally teared up at that song too!!

My confession is that I think the posted speed limit is actually the required minimum speed you should be driving and if you're doing anything below that know that I'm behind you cursing and secretly wanting to drive straight into your bumper...

Last night the kids were playing in their room while I was cooking dinner. I found my sons fun sized bag of starburst jelly beans from Easter which he had forgotten about. I may have eaten most of them while they weren't looking.

Everytime I see one of us assert that we're the nicest bmb on a thread we just totted to death, I giggle at how absurd that sounds, even though it's technically true. It's like- 'we only posted a measly ten gifs of potatoes pooping and etc, why u mad bro?'

Even though I'm not from the States, and have little idea about what he's done for your country-I'm really gonna miss Obama because I think he's a cool dude-that's it,  I just think he's cool. I hope he comes here to live.

I'd gladly send you Obama eight years ago @courtjack

I'm with you, I also think he seems like a cool guy!

I'm going to miss him being in office. I think he'll be remembered in history as one of our great presidents. Maybe I should have put that on UO yesterday,

***************Warning: Do not read if you are squeamish**********************

MY FFFC: I will not record my birth, or let anyone besides my husband in the delivery room, including medical students. No exceptions
This all stems from the delivery of my DS, or I should say, my DS's placenta.

When I was pregnant with W I never minded if they brought in med students, I figured, they gotta learn somehow right? And, it's just my vagina, I'm sure they can handle it at this point.

Anyway, when I was pushing out DS they asked me if I was okay with having med students in the room, I nodded through pushing and a crowd of 4 med students entered my delivery room. W was born and placed directly onto my chest by my OB. Dh and I started to cry as we looked at his beautiful little screaming body- it was a very tender moment. Probably 2 minutes later my ob told me it was time to deliver my placenta.

"Okay", said my OB. "When I tell you, I want you to give me one LONG and HARD push. One, two, three, PUSH."
And push I did. Out flew my placenta, hitting my ob directly in the chest. And out sprayed blood, lots of blood. It was like a Quentin Taranino movie. Poor ob was covered in blood, his arms, chest, even his shoes. But the worst of it was that blood hit the wall behind him.

While I sprayed like a blue whale reaching the surface, the med students started SCREAMING, one of them started fainting into a nurse.
"GET THEM OUT OF HERE!", screamed my Ob at my nurses.
After they were swept out of the the room my ob looked me straight in the eyes with blood dripping from his face mask and said, 
"Don't worry, everything's fine. And I can always buy new sneakers. Good job."

DeePaddy24

@WinniethePoohsPants Oh. My. God. I definitely don't blame you for not wanting anyone in the room, or for it to be recorded! Also, incredible story telling...so descriptive, I could picture the whole thing perfectly. (Is that weird? lol) 

As a FTM I'm not sure I want the birth recorded, either. Pictures? Yes. But actual footage? I don't think I want that. Like, at all. 

MamaNicoleof3

@WinniethePoohsPants- that is, hands down, the best thing I've ever read with regards to childbirth!!!

meggyme

@WinniethePoohsPants you have a way with words... Like a Quentine Tarintino movie... Haha!

crdo

@WinniethePoohsPants: Holy smokes, lady. You. Are. The. Queen. And your OB sounds kinda awesome.

Sydvicious08

@WinniethePoohsPants I almost fell off the couch laughing. That is an awesome story!

mrsschmity

@WinniethePoohsPants That. Is. Awesome. Hands down the best description ever. 

My confession:
There is a couple in our baby class that makes me want to barf every time we see them. They are overly affectionate and could be the poster couple for one of those childbirth movies. You love each other and are so overjoyed that you made this wonderful miracle of a tiny human together - that's great and I get that. I feel the same way about H. But for the love of tator tots, keep the PDA to a minimum please.

alsbaldwin

@WinniethePoohsPants I started giggling at my desk reading this. Best birth story I've read in a while.

goldie987

@WinniethePoohsPants most epic birth story EVER.  I'm so glad my hospital has a blanket ban on video recording of birth so I don't even have an option to have a recording and its not a teaching hospital so no students.  

mrsb8244

@WinniethePoohsPants That was fantastic...thank you for sharing!!

@mrsschmity Ugh I can't stand couples like that. I'm not big into PDA and it just grosses me out. One time H and I were in a bar and this couple started legit making out and I accidentally squealed and yellowed EWW out loud. H was embarrassed lol.

My FFFC: My baby shower is tomorrow so tonight I'm going to my parents so my mom and sister can shave my legs and cut/paint my toenails. The last time I shaved my legs was weeks ago and I struggled then, it ain't happening again!!

hollywoodave531

@WinniethePoohsPants that is the most awesome thing ever! Way to scare the hell out of the med students. I will say yes to residents and no to med students if I'm ever asked! 

AmberLiz99

@MrsB8214 you must be a lot closer to your mom and sister than I am! Not sure I could ask my mom to shave my legs! 

ahernandez16

@WinniethePoohsPants that sounds like an episode of Grey's. Awesome. 

@DeePaddy24 my H is also throwing a fit about the shot. So sorry to inconvenience you for 5 seconds of this pregnancy, dear....

I have two.

1. I spend more time on The Bump than on my social media sites because I like you guys more than my IRL friends/family.

2. H and I bought a huge gallon tub of ice cream yesterday when we grocery shopped. BECAUSE I was going through our bank statement and last month we spent like $75 going out to get ice cream literally every freaking night we were home together. We call the tub an investment.  

goldie987

I'm so jealous of you ladies whose husband's are being babies about tdap.  Mine got his at his physical back in December so when I complained my arm was hurting after mine he said something to think effect of yeah, I got one too and you didn't hear me complaining.  

Mr0616

@winniethepoohspants

Epic.  I would have no shame in that. I bet your doctor will never forget that one too. 

BEWARE OF MY POWERFUL VAGINA! 



Did you name your placenta Sasha Fierce?

BakerBird525

@WinniethePoohsPants : WOW! That is an amazing birth story! My eyes were like saucers by the end of reading it. "Out flew my placenta, hitting my ob directly in the chest." I just...I can't even!

1- I didn't read @WinniethePoohsPants post at first because she said "skip if you're squeamish" and I am But after you all loved it I went back and read it and it's awesome.

2- I am playing the "pregnancy card" every. single. day. of this pregnancy. Last time I felt great, was all excited, "no, i can do this" "no, i'll come into work on time, i'm fine" "no, i'll just have the salmon"

Now I ask my coworkers to carry things, I eat their snacks, if anyone offers me food I say yes, I use my bump to get upgrades/on earlier flights. It's like some VIP card. And luckily I've only been around positive people so it's doubly nice!

CourtJack

@WinniethePoohsPants: soooooooooooooooo worth the wait. I love how you terrified those med students and that they probably still talk about you to this day. So great. That made my morning.

VikingGirl12

@WinniethePoohsPants That was so worth the wait. I am feeling a mix of emotions right now, between laughing and crying. You win everything this week.

Mine is. When the kids in my class bring their breakfast from the lunchroom into the classroom, and don't eat those delicious pre packaged cinnamon rolls, I hoard them and gobble them up during planning. I get really controlling about it too "NO!!! DON'T THROW IT AWAY!" They always give me the side eye. And no, I don't let the other kids have them if they ask first. Mine.

Amen, my sister tot.

I scheduled a late lunch date yesterday and then ended up having an earlier one with other friends. So I had two lunches and then since I didn't get home in time to cook dinner, I had icecream for dinner. Maybe not a day my doctor (or any nutritionist) would be the most proud of?

purplefan1

When people are random posters, post asshat things, get all complainy when we are "mean" to them, then never come back again part of me is like "hell yeah, go away". But then the other part of me is like "don't you walk away bitch. I've got more things to say." And then I am thankful when people use the same handle for multiple different social sites. The creeping ability is strong in this one. Especially when feeling vengeful (or bored). 

edeibel89

@wINNIETHEPOOHSPANTS that made my morning. No, my whole day. Possibly my whole life. Best.birthing.story.ever.

@xc1148 Yes. Me. We had a company luncheon yesterday and I may or may not have stood in line with my hand on my belly looking pitiful until I got moved to the front of the line...and scored the last piece of red velvet cheesecake.

purplefan1

@WinniethePoohsPants awesome story. I feel like that would make me want to have med students and residents in the room even more. Think you can handle this shit?? THINK AGAIN, BITCHES!

My mom told me about a resident she had when she was in labor and delivery. The resident came to check her progress, saw a scar she had from a previous laparoscopy for endo, and asked "can you tell me when you had your hysterectomy done?" Mom said she freaked the hell out, screamed for her doctor, and refused to let any residents or med students touch her again. Go back to school kid, you seem confused about how this process works.

meggyme

My FFFC is pretty lame. I've worn pants everyday to work for the last 2.5 years (I work in the engineering office of a shipyard, so it's a bunch of middle aged men). Today I said F it and wore a dress and leggings because pants are overrated. Now I'm minor my sad because I expected someone to say something, but so far no one has. Haha! And now I'm embarrassed because I've been making a bigger deal about it than I should have.

Mr0616

@meggyme or the men just know NOT to comment on a pregnant lady's appearance  

splsmama2016

Every time my H gets out of bed to go to the bathroom at night, my cat assumes that he's getting up for the day and takes his spot, but usually comes right back to cuddle with me when he comes back to bed. This morning though, H got up around 5:30, goes and does his thing, comes back to bed, and my cat refuses to move. And I let the cat stay there because I can stretch out when H isn't there.

TNvols27

@WinniethePoohsPants that was fantastic. I could see it all in my head, like a scene from a movie. Day. Made.
