    @Charla1224 if it makes you feel any better, as much as I'm over it too I wish I could ride out this pregnancy and let LO come on his or her own. I'm not looking forward to my induction and the stress of my next few appts to try to determine when the best time is to induce given my pre-e and baby's large size. I'd give anything to not have to deal with these things and just be miserable and pregnant and let things come as they may. 
  • I've been on board with waiting until LO is ready to arrive on her own but as I approach 39 weeks with no progress I'm beginning to waiver. Seeing all of you talk about induction dates doesn't help. 

    It might just be how I'm feeling today. Of course I want LO to be healthy and in the long run an extra week or 2 is NBD but right now I'm over this shit and wish I could be induced tomorrow. 
    I can so relate. I'm jealous of anyone with a set end date.

    I dunno if this will be an UO but if I get 5 pages into a book about breastfeeding and it feels like it will shame the reader if they can't breast feed, or are going to pump and feed from a bottle I stop reading it because I just don't need that additional stress. I tried one this morning and got 2 pages in before I was like NOPE

    It helps to skip the first chapter or two and get right to the useful stuff. Also, this is why I like checking out library books because then I don't waste money buying books I don't like
  • I'm actually a little sad that today is my last dr appointment.

    I was just thinking to myself.... I think I'll miss my OB after this! I'm fine with not having to make time for the appointments tho

    I am so with you ladies! And since I'm seeing a midwife they don't even do induction- they said if I start making it "to the end of week 42" they might sweep my membranes. I told them I didn't want to be pregnant forever, thank you. 
  • I think it's annoying when people post pictures of every meal they eat on Instagram. 
    Yeah, especially when the food is just all beige or the picture is blurry every time or generally a boring or unappetizing picture.

    This is me as well. I think once I get to 41 at my birthing center they'll do a membrane sweep to try and get things moving... I should probably double check this. Once I get to 42 though I'm out of luck and have to schedule an induction and deliver at the hospital. I'm a massive planner though, so the whole not knowing when thing is killing me lately.

    I know there is no empirical evidence to any of the old wives tails to make labor start/easier but I hit 39 weeks so I'm eating pineapple and bouncing on a yoga ball as I type. I have no shame in it either. 
    I've been bouncing on my ball as well. Even if it doesn't help, it's comfortable to chill on there and shove my face at the same time so life is good either way.

    I do library books 99% of the time (but I also am a librarian so it just makes more sense - one less stop). I've found that if they have that tone in the first few pages the rest of the book has it too. There are some that haven't but since I wasn't sure if I really wanted to read the book this morning (400+ pages) I wasn't overly upset

    I don't know whether this is a UO but I hate that I can't find a stupid plain cheese frozen pizza anymore. Everything is "four cheese" or "six cheese" and it's terrible. I don't want a sad attempt at gourmet frozen pizza for $5. It's a $5 frozen pizza. I want cardboard crust and chemical-flavored "tomato" sauce and the stingiest possible sprinkling of industrial mozzarella.

    When I buy a frozen pizza, I want to relive my broke-ass college days, goddamnit, and I don't want to spend 1600 calories doing it.

    but nooooo

    Dude. Ellio's. It's the most chemically, college like pizza out there.

  • I'm obsessed with Unsolved Mysteries (the show) even though it's been off the air for over a decade. Since being on leave I've watched 4-5 hours (which really is half that bc I fast forward through commercials) of the show every night after DD goes to bed. DH thinks I'm an old biddy.
    If you ever really want to fall down the rabbit hole, read the Unsolved Mysteries wikia, and the UM Sitcoms Online forum. You may never leave your computer again though.

    I inadvertently started an UO stream on the random thread, and since I have nothing else, I guess I'll repeat it here: I don't get Game of Thrones. 

    I don't like fantasy or anything medieval. If it has swords, sorcerers, magic, crowns or dragons I don't want to see it. 

    ETA: The UOs already on this thread confirm that I have made the right choice in not having an instagram account. Also, now that I'm addicted to TB, I rarely go on FB anymore and I must say, my life has improved because of that fact. 
    This. It makes me sad to know that in a month or so, the board will be broken up. Lets face it, we all will be too busy to bump when holding a baby. I will miss you guys!
     :'( I know! I used to love stalking the April BMB but even just past halfway into the month it's sooo dead over there.

    I don't like fantasy or anything medieval. If it has swords, sorcerers, magic, crowns or dragons I don't want to see it.

    I have the opposite problem: I love fantasy and love the first three books (they're among my Most Favorites Ever and just brilliantly structured and written), and then... well... there's the TV show, which was good-to-great for the first few seasons and then dropped off a cliff. Partly because the source material also becomes a lot weaker later in the series, but mostly because apparently the screenwriters just have no idea how to compensate for that. Everything they came up with to fill in the gaps on their own in the later seasons has just been dire.

    So, well, that's too bad. I still haven't decided whether I'm going to watch this season. S5 very nearly knocked me off the train, and I'm not real sure I want to get back on.

    tl;dr: I have diametrically opposite views on medieval fantasy but I'm still not a great fan of GOT. Started from the opposite pole, looks like I ended up in about the same place.
