Somewhat an AW post, but wanted to share some good news I got this week!!!
I got the pathology results for the spot on my calf that was taken by my dermatologist, was hoping it was only another dysplastic nevus - worst case and not skin cancer.
Turns out it was a lichenoid keratosis... BENIGN, looked angry and like a dysplastic nevus so they were glad they took/tested it BUT these things are genetic and I'll probably have more as I get older... so more derm appointments, biopsies/scraping, and waiting for pathology results in my future. For now, I'm happy though!
Why not another AW post (at least I'm keeping them in the Randoms thread)?
Just got an email from building management and part of Pitch Perfect 3 is being filmed in my building's lobby on Monday/Tuesday. To the point where we have to go through the coffee shop on Monday morning as they are re-creating a scene to look like NYC and there are going to be 200+ extras plus film crew. AHHHH love this so much and can't wait.
Also, I have not been able to take a picture of my temporary renting neighbor and it is still KILLING me! I don't think I'll ever figure it out...
great news from the derm @michaela0704! Happy for you. That said, I can't believe they're making Pitch Perfect 3. I loved the first one, but the second... I couldn't even finish it. I do love Rebel Wilson though.
@Wearmi1 I love Rebel too... she was seriously the best part of those movies (IMO). I hope the actresses are a part of the scene... I'm going to be getting nothing done *at work* probably, but am super excited too!
I am having the hardest time concentrating at work lately. I am spending way too much time reading the news and bumping and not enough time focusing. Anyone else having this issue? I don't think it's entirely baby related but a lot of it is. I'm just not that motivated these days.
@meg2704 Me too. My excuse with the news is that it's so crazy that I can't look away, but really it's low motivation and willpower. I'm probably going to be looking for a new job after I come back from 'maternity leave' (we have no leave policies, it's just my unpaid FMLA) in the fall. Until then...bumping daily while I should be working.
Guys, this leg thing is gonna be the death of me. DS was getting off his bed and his leg gave out so he fell just right so he nailed his head on the side of his bed. It started swelling and bruising instantly. This kid is gonna be in a full body cast before too long!
Thanks ladies. I'm hoping, if anything, they can give us a brace or something to help with stability until it heals so he's not falling so much. I'm worried he's gonna hurt himself more than he already is because of all the falling he's doing!
I had a crazy pregnancy dream last night about our anatomy scan. I've been on the fence about finding out the sex, and knowing that I'm going to be having extra ultrasounds is having me lean toward finding out because there's going to be more opportunities to have it slip out with the extra peeks. ANYWAY, I had a dream that we were at the anatomy scan, and I caved and let them tell us, but they said it was a boy, and I just burst into tears and was so disappointed and upset about it, but the u/s tech totally shamed me and made me feel awful for being upset. I woke up thinking we need to just not find out.
*disclaimer* while we would really like this baby to be a girl, I ultimately just want a healthy baby. I will admit I'm scared of 3 rambuctious, wild boys, because the 2 we have now are exhausting.
We spent 850 dollars on our dogs surgery 10 days ago. We go back to get the stitches out today and it is inflamed and infected so drop 60 more dollars on meds. He is also due for vaccines next month which will be close to 200 most likely. I am so done with animals after my two are gone. Ughhhh.

I'm getting highlights tonight for the first time since I was pregnant with DS! I think I last had them done before one of my baby showers, so it's been almost a year. I'm so excited. I really don't want to have that "mom look" if I can help it. DH loves it when I change things up and try something new.
I should save this for tomorrow's fffc, but... My sister made some ridiculously passive Facebook post today and I replied with 'cool story bro'. I don't know what possessed me to do it (I don't think I've ever said that phrase before), but I'm so tired of passive aggressive bs.
@swanbrooner That video is awesome! That is exactly why we are telling everyone that we are naming the baby Greybeard, whether it is a boy or a girl. I have no interest in their feedback on our real names.
FSUNole31 , when I was 4 months pregnant with my daughter 4 years ago, we found a lump on my dog's throat and he needed a $3000 surgery. I am not 4 months pregnant and we found a lump on his chest last night. Granted, he was only 10 and healthy the first time. Now he is almost 15 and not as healthy so he would never make it through a surgery like that again, but he loves getting major things when I am pregnant. DH takes him to the vet Tuesday.

Stuck in the box, but that is crazy teacher mom. 3,000?? I couldn't even begin to deal with that number!
@hopeful808 I will have to look into that for sure.

Not to be a weekend Debby Downer but just read this news article about one of the old football players from my alma mater... so disturbing, makes me hold on to my boys extra extra and give them extra kisses, ugh...
Welp, I failed my GD test. I pretty much expected that, so now the diabeetus testing begins.
As a pre-diabetic, my brain ALWAYS goes to this My doctor never appreciates my amusement. I'm sorry you are officially GD! That really sucks. I'm dreading my test, but prepared for whatever it may bring if it keeps LO healthy.
@Stankonia2014, that stinks! I've had to do a couple finger pricks on myself before and I hate it! I can't imagine having to do it multiple times a day.

Since I know you are getting asked on a daily basis what you are naming your babies, please treat yourselves to the video above.
@hopeful808 I will have to look into that for sure.
