This isn't so much of an unpopular opinion, and it's not the first time it's been said, but I'll take it the extra mile into bitchville. Can the unicorn posts stop?! I can not with the extra symptoms threads. Had a unique ultrasound experience?... I want to read about it... in the ultrasound thread accompanying the pic that goes with it. Have a zany thought that you think we MUST know about? Find yourself a weekly randoms post and let that shit fly. My patience is in every way at a negative level. I'm having a hard time even participating this go around because I get so annoyed before I even get started.
@EmEeGee I've just started boycotting the random flyers. Figure the less response they get, the more likely they will disappear to the bottom. It's been killin me too, it clutters a lot of everything up.
The one-offs are annoying but I also think the rules have gotten ridiculously strict since I was on my last BMB. I don't understand why some of the threads have to be assigned to a specific person. Why can't I start the Thursday ticker change?
@riverraine You totally can! Assigning certain daily threads just helps keep them going from week to week in case people forget to post. It's more like a fall back person.
@riverraine they definitely aren't assigned, for example, I volunteered to start the FTM check in.
It's been a few weeks now that no one had done a FTM check in, and that's because no one had either volunteered to do it, or bothered to read the "read this first" post.
By all means, feel free to coordinate with someone or if you don't see it up, post it yourself.

UO: Big boobs are overrated. That's one thing I'm not looking forward to this pregnancy.

lol @jessafishy my boobs never grew at all just my band size!!! I've always been a Dolly Parton I wish the band size would have retracted after first kid though lol
@jessafishy I 100% concur. I wear a 34D, which I know is not that big, but I'm also only 5'2" and they already look disproportionately large. I'm not looking forward to them getting even larger throughout pregnancy. I don't need any more of my high school boys staring at me.
@VLillyV I've read the "read this first" post like ten times because I'm such a rule follower (even while silently cursing the rules) and didn't want to offend anyone by starting their thread. But now that I know...
@riverraine and everyone else, please start the appropriate daily thread if it hasn't been started yet. I think we were going to assign and then decided to just go with the flow. Maybe the *Read First*post can be edited to reflect this thought.
I feel like I'm AWing because I try to start them if they haven't been started just to liven up the board and create some conversation. I don't want to be a AW.
Also jumping on the "I hate big boobs" bandwagon. I'm definitely not small chested as it is...and all my current bras are suddenly so uncomfortable. I took my bra off the other night while watching TV because I couldn't take it anymore. My DH was very confused when he found my bra just chilling on the ottoman in the living room. He probably thought I was giving him the green light lol
I also hate the one off posts about symptoms, etc. but I can't help but think you guys are referring to my baby freebies post yesterday. *shamefully hides* I probably debated making the new post for about an hour because I am aware of everyone's feeling on the topic lol
I'm gonna jump on the itty bitty titty train. My boobs are tiny. And during my last pregnancy they got awesome. :-P went back to being tiny, but for a short while they were just right. Looking forward to that, haha
@lovehorse77 I'm with you! I am smaller too. I get so nice and firm and full during pregnancy and breastfeeding. I lost it all when I started working out after each kid. Like extra skin more than tissue small , haha. DH doesn't mind and prefers them on the smaller side but he loves my pregnant/ breastfeeding boobs too, until I leak on him . Oops.
@jessafishy I 100% concur. I wear a 34D, which I know is not that big, but I'm also only 5'2" and they already look disproportionately large. I'm not looking forward to them getting even larger throughout pregnancy. I don't need any more of my high school boys staring at me.
I'm with ya. I'm 5'1" and usually wear 34F for maternity. Yeah...I look like a used up prostitute. Its awful. Oh and I'm only 135 lbs so not especially big anywhere else either.
Ugh my boobs are already big and now they're even bigger! I got the extenders off Amazon and they definitely add relief. I'll stick with this until I absolutely have to buy new bras.
Btw. The weather is about 60 here today so I wanted to wear a dress. I bought 3 new dresses for work in January. Don't fit into a single one. I hate everything.
I should clarify, I was an A or B cup until after college. Gained some weight and went up to a DD. Hated it. None of my clothes fit right anymore and I was not used to having to dress for potential cleavage.
I got pregnant with DS and gained more with pregnancy, they were HUUUUUGE post partum. Finally as I lost weight and cut back on nursing they were down to a manageable C. Now they are getting bigger again.

@bluejeanbabi05 Ha! That's funny because I really enjoy her songs because I think the lyrics are pretty, even though they're sad. I like to listen to covers of her songs!
Gaga, I think she has a beautiful voice when she's actually singing and is brilliant in how she has branded herself, but it's all so odd. I will say Super Bowl was surprisingly one of my favorite performances by her.
I hate how showy everything is now~ promposals (you can tell that these are a real thing where I teach),telling your SO you are pregnant (What happen to showing them the positive test) to Valentine goody bags (who has time for this). I realize I will probably get flamed for this but honestly why does everything have to have a flair to it now? Why are non-creative people getting looked down upon?
@asickles98 I was literally thinking about that earlier today, specifically in regard to gender reveal parties. Sorry if anyone is planning one of those, but seriously, what's so wrong with just telling people?
@soprano19 I have to disagree with gender revealing. While I agree on the party part ( no need to do it all that way) but I plan on having a gender reveal with DH and I and my girls with their dance team on FB live. DH can't be with me during my 20 week scan - he can't get out of work. So I'll have the tech put it in an envelope for me to grab cupcakes with. My family lives far away and this being our last baby more than likely, I want to go big. It won't be a party just me and DH biting into a cupcake before my girls team rehearsals on live so our family can watch. After that, that's it. Go on our day as normal.

I pretty much start a weekly thread if I don't see it, you don't have to wait!
If we do happen to get two of the same thread we can just turn one into a gif party!
