@labby18 My grandmother has said similar things, such as, "I'm glad you're finally pregnant. I was worried I'd die without ever having a great grandbaby." She's not sick either, and it was disconcerting for me to hear, I just think the reality that once you start to get older anything can happen at any time is an ever present reality for her. I mostly just try to ignore it, because she can get rather doom and gloom if she thinks she has an audience.
@labby18@mrs_tacos my grandma does that too, she's always saying she doesn't know how much time she has left and stuff. For the last two years she and my grandpa were putting color coded stickers on all of their stuff, the different colors being the different people who would get that stuff. It was very morbid. We knew they were getting old but I wasn't expecting grandpa to pass so soon, I really wish we'd had more time with him. He only got to see DS twice.
Just got a voicemail from an attorney's office.... They wanted me to pass along a message to my ex husband... I was like, we've been divorced for a decade, we do not speak. The guy was like, "oh, that must be why he used your contact information." WTAF?
That's bizarre... and annoying. Why does he even have your contact info?
I've had the same number since 2004. Thing is, I don't think my name is even associated with the number! DH opened the account (back story: this husband and I have been together since 2004, divorce with husband #1 didn't become final until 2007. he fought me tooth and nail, even though getting a divorce was HIS idea). So I guess he just still has my phone number? I got the impression this was regarding a debt, so maybe it's just an old thing coming up? Oh well, not my problem.
Unrelated: I started having a meltdown on my way home (just tired and hormonal). I crawled into bed with H when I got home (he works overnights). I was like "I HATE EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLLLLLLLE WORLD. Except you. You're ok. And Ali's ok. And Chinese chicken fingers. But everything else." And a few minutes later, I said, "do we have a dinner plan?"
What was my H's response? "Well I guess Chinese chicken fingers." Yass. He's the dearest of souls.
Count me in on the grandprarent saying weird stuff about death. My grandpa always talks about how he won't be along much longer or how he won't be here for certain events. I hate when he does it.
It's really upsetting when family members talk about their potential impending death. Like, one year grandma wanted to see my open my presents for Christmas one year because it was going to be her last Christmas alive. I was in 8th grade I believe. I told her not to talk like that and that she had many more years with us. Sure enough, she didn't make it through the next year.
We went a long time without death in the family then back to back to back we had family members pass away quite suddenly. My uncle, my last living grandparent (who buried his son a couple months prior) then my SO's father passed away and then my father.
This has inspired myself and my mother to purchase large life insurance policies, etc. I think as you age it can be somewhat of a dark cloud not knowing how much time you have left.
I always regret not visiting my grandpa in the hospital. He lived with us and he was supposed to come home that very same day. My daughter saw him earlier that day and he told her that when he gets out of the hospital he is just going to hug her and hug her.
Ugh guys. There's a girl I'm friends with on Facebook who just shared a status about how she's so pregnant that it's hard it is to wipe after peeing. FOR REAL?!?!?! WHY WOULD YOU POST THAT ON YOUR FACEBOOK?! You can bet I hit that unfriend button with the quickness.

Hahaha wiping your mommy box! For real. And @DPandMB yessss lol I'm sure when we're super pregnant we'll all be complaining too. But not on Facebook.... it just makes me cringe lol
@wyomama0427 what dumbass doesn't just reach to the side of the bump the get to the mommy box and wipe it? I can't picture anyone having a bump so large their arm can take reach their vag to wipe it. Lol
@wyomama0427 what dumbass doesn't just reach to the side of the bump the get to the mommy box and wipe it? I can't picture anyone having a bump so large their arm can take reach their vag to wipe it. Lol
Hahahaha, very true! "Can't go over it, can't go under it, have to go around it!"

Hahahaha, very true! "Can't go over it, can't go under it, have to go around it!"
I am literally laughing out loud at you two lol and one person told her she shouldn't be trying to go over the front anyway because you're supposed to go front to back not back to front. Lmao. Such a ridiculous conversation to have on Facebook...
That looks sooooo good. I was craving peach cobbler on Saturday, I probably haven't had it in like 10 years but I found a recipe on Pinterest. It was a huge fail
this is a wtf wednesday but I'm afraid I will forget to bring it up by then. My grandma just called me. She asked what I want her to get for baby. I told her idk yet, we haven't created a registry nor do we know the gender yet. She asked when we would know, I told her the end of April, and she asked me to tell her then, I said ok, but followed up with there's no rush, we have 5 months til baby will be here. HER RESPONSE WAS "Well you know your Abuela is vieja and might not be around in 5 months." WTAF!?!? She's my last grandparent, you don't say things like that, ESPECIALLY to a pregnant lady! She then abruptly ended the phone call because my mom was coming outside (she's been visiting in VA because my brother's wife just had my niece last month). So yeah my grandma wants to know what to buy my baby and it's time sensitive...SHE'S NOT EVEN SICK.
eta: Abuela = grandma, vieja = old.
eta 2: words...holy crap words...
My grandma does this ALL THE TIME. She'll say "oh but I'm going to die soon" or stuff like "i won't be here to see that"
It drives me crazy her saying she's going to die all the time. She has been saying this for years. She's not sick either so I have no clue why she's always saying that?
In Switzerland (where my SO lives and is from) they have a daily deal website and each day features a different kids product. Anyways he has been checking it out every day and he bought this a few weeks ago. It arrived today and I got a video of it.....it's quite possible the cutest thing ever. I wasn't expecting something so adorable!!
She wont be able to use it for awhile, but I didn't know it was possible to get so excited over a baby purchase like this. It's my favorite thing she has so far!

Sounds like something my dumbass cousin would post. She posts the most inappropriate shit on Facebook.
BTW while wipping was never an issue for me, peeing in those stupid cups when you're 9 months pregnant is clearly something invented by an "I can stand to pee" man.
Some things became a challenge at the end of my pregnancy with DD. But not once was I unable to wipe the lady bits efficiently. And if I did have issues it's surely not something I would advertise to everyone on FB.
OK once again I am jumping the gun by a couple months, but I went to a "cloth diaper 101" class tonight and I am SO INTO IT. It made such a big difference being able to see all the different types of cloth diaper stuff in person and made it seem way less intense and intimidating.
On a totally unrelated note, I can sympathize with you guys about the "who knows how long I'll be around" schtick except with me it's my PARENTS. they are a bit older-- in their 70s-- and this will be their first grandchild, but come on! I can't think about that!
@HollyGolightly09 Major props for using mommy box organically in a post!
So, I laid down to take a "short nap," and slept for 4 1/2 hours. I'm so worried I won't sleep well tonight now. But on the plus side, I made a real dinner for the first time in months! I made homemade pizza, and it was amazeballs, if I do say so myself.

I'll admit towards the end, I couldn't see down there and had to blind shave. But I could still reach. You don't need to see it to wipe it correctly, lol.
@LuckyPenny1231 I also had to blind shave haha I had to go by feel lol!
@HollyGolightly09 I was the same way yesterday. I was crampy all day, but I guess that's what I get for being constipated for four months. Ugh. Do you feel better?
I want to preface this by saying I would ONLY tell y'all this..
I tossed and turned all night cramping, and was getting pretty damn close to a panic. Pretty sure I just needed to poop.
What?! This doesn't make Facebook status? Sorry for the cramping. The gas and pooping pains are horrible and for me only got worse as pregnancy went along.
After my horribly uncomfortable BM last night and my crying fit (see symptoms thread) today i have pooped twice already. After not pooping for like a week. Sooo i totally get ya @HollyGolightly09
@HollyGolightly09 I was the same way yesterday. I was crampy all day, but I guess that's what I get for being constipated for four months. Ugh. Do you feel better?
I do! Still a little crampy, but not nearly as bad. I know I'm not drinking enough water, though, so I'm wondering if that's part of it.
Re: Weekly Randoms 3/27
old ladies are so dramatic.
Unrelated: I started having a meltdown on my way home (just tired and hormonal). I crawled into bed with H when I got home (he works overnights). I was like "I HATE EVERYTHING IN THE WHOLLLLLLLE WORLD. Except you. You're ok. And Ali's ok. And Chinese chicken fingers. But everything else."

Im having a "I hate everything" day, too. Unfortunately for DH, he hasn't really been exempt.
We went a long time without death in the family then back to back to back we had family members pass away quite suddenly. My uncle, my last living grandparent (who buried his son a couple months prior) then my SO's father passed away and then my father.
