@angeltennis3@BumpasaurusRex I used to live four hours away so we would come all the time. One year we went 7 times. They upgraded us to a free suite but it's not the same with a two year old splashing everywhere.
I love The Newsroom. I'm mad it's not still on TV and I'm watching it again and realizing that even though it was 4 years ago, they could air it today and every story would be relevant.
I just decided that I'd really like to pig out. And I mean really pig out. For the last several weeks I've been Hungry every hour or two, but can't eat hardly anything before I feel full. I'm basically just nibbling on small amounts of food all day, and I'd really like to just eat a normal sized meal, and stay full for a little longer.
Their Mom (my sister) is very Christian, and we are very not. Its been an interesting afternoon of questions about marriage, religion and such. I was not prepared for this....
@gingersnap i can imagine it, I volunteer at my children's school a lot and have heard some crazy religious conversations. And at the time the kids were only 2nd graders!
I got told by a 7 year old that if I don't believe in Jesus, I'm probably going to hell. Fortunately (kinda?) my sister was horrified and said that her church absolutely doesn't teach that, and she probably picked it up from paternal Gma or GGma.
Another thing, from lurking the about to pop boards, is that I don't like the hyper organized boards. I mean, I like the weekly threads we have going, but I don't mind people posting new threads and not having to post things in particular ones.

I think a balance is definitely good. This board seems pretty active compared to most, and there's been lots of good individual discussion posts and of course people posting about unusual nerve-wracking situations. Maybe its because I start the symptoms post, though, but sometimes when generic symptom talk ends up in in its own thread I get a little grouchy. I wouldn't chew anybody out over it or anything, but a few I've tried to point in the right direction.
I do do think some boards end up organized to the point of boring, and wouldn't want that at all.
Yeah, when people post about things that have a designated thread it's annoying, for sure. I was lurking one board and if it wasn't something that had a designated thread, it could only go in the randoms. I was like whhhaaaatttttt..... it was weird for me.
@gingersnap@Xstatic3333 I'm glad you guys are ok with the extra posts; I tend to think as long as their is no existing post, and it something everyone can benefit from and/or contribute to, it is ok. But the other day I realized that I'd started like 5 posts on the front page, and was like, aww crap I need to stop. I am not a special snowflake!
*runs and hides*
In other news, I'm having Krispy Kreme for breakfast. Classy.

I like your threads @WinchesterGirl! That's my perspective; things like the gear thread and the nursery themes are fun for big discussion posts and a good distraction from all of the negative crap of early pregnancy. Plus, it seems like FTMs are definitely the minority around here and I've really been learning a ton from the discussions that ensue.
This board is very quiet compared to my last bmb. Although that was before the exodus, so maybe that's why too!
I wasn't around pre-exodus, but as an early February person I lurked January quite a bit, particularly while this board was very quiet, and we definitely seem to be a lot more active. I know some groups go right to FB but I'm so glad we decided against that. Stranger danger!
@Xstatic3333 I am learning a ton, too! Basically all I know is that I'm going to throw up, and Lord willing, have a baby sometime in February. So these have all been very informative to me!
I'm also amazed at how many experienced moms we have in our group... I'm just glad they're willing to share the wealth of information!
Well this morning sucked. Normally DH does daycare drop off. I only get DD out of bed on days she is staying at home. DH is out of town for work so I had to get her up and drop her off. As soon as we got out of the car at daycare she started crying and was screaming when I left. It breaks my heart.
I know she is fine and happy because our daycare has cameras so i can check on her at any point during the day. But my heart is still in pieces.
I think she thought it was a mommy day. Cue ugly cries all the way to work.
@angeltennis3 awww, it's so sweet they love us so much, but it crushes me too when my kids (mostly 7 year old daughter) says certain things. She goes on these random rants saying how much she loves me and never wants to be away from me, or that if I'm sick she'll always take care of me. And for me I hardly have to leave them, so she stayed all night at my mils one time and she cried the whole hour drive there. And of course so did I. Lol
Edit: husband and son were in car too so it was a very weird ride. They kept looking at us like we were nuts and H said "you think you'll pull through?" Haha
Why do our little turkeys do that to their moms? Don't they know how hard it is on us??? Ellie does that too on the weekly occasion I take her to school. When I asked DH if it happens to him he always says no.
Today I ugly cried because my daughter got so upset that our cat was getting fixed. She cried that the cat can't sleep with her anymore and that she's going to die from not eating tonight because she has to prep for surgery. It was all so emotional and I was all the emotions trying to deal with it.
But I am happy my cat won't be in heat anymore and make the worlds most horrible sounds.

OMG that reminds me of when my cousin and I were little and my cousin's puppy was going in to get neutered and she was so upset that she wrote this poem for it:
Dogs are Cute Puppies are Cuter What happens when they get the Neuter?
I forget how old we were, I think like 7ish and I remember it because not too long ago we were looking through old stuff and found it and could not stop laughing. Her puppy was fine and lived to a nice old age.
I hope your everything goes well with your cat!

My sis had asked if I could watch her kids for a few days next month, and I had originally agreed. After yesterday I'm like NEWP. I felt bad but I was honest with her.

Lol sounds like you were traumatized. My husband absolutely refuses to allow more than 1 niece/nephew over at one time.

I'm sure she understands. First tri is rough and I'm having trouble mustering up the energy to chase after DS, let alone other peoples' kids.
On another note, last night I was watching Nine Months with Julianna Moore and Hugh Grant. I LOVE that movie!
That GIF nailed it. My DD is SO NAUGHTY when they are around. She's the youngest and they all cater to her and think she hilarious, so she's a total little shit around them.
I am so done with this nausea stuff.. I woke up fine today and bam, right when I'm supposed to start dinner I feel like death. At least I got a few hours of relief.
Ok so I've seen it referenced quite a bit and I've never really thought to ask, but what is/was the big "exodus" on TB? I was on my BMB with DD almost 6 years ago but didn't come on much after she was born so it sounds like something big happened between then and now?
I was on the August 14 bmb and it was super busy at the time. It was actually difficult to keep up with the threads. One thing that caught my eye coming back to TB was that people don't post much on the HDBD threads and that goes for most all the bmbs that I've lurked. I left not long before the exodus but perhaps people slowed down on posting pics after the July 14 catfish.
