I'm out running errands and I really need to pee, so I'm rushing through the grocery store so I can go home to POAS (OPK).

DH and I make up pervy names for salad dressings. Ex: balsamic vinaigrette = balls-on-it vinaigrette. Jalapeño ranch = hop-on-a-penis ranch, etc. Yes, we are twelve.

I was a crunchy, judgey, un-sciencey little bitch when I first joined TB.  Thank the LAWD I found you guys and got whipped into shape!

I was taken off the bench yesterday so obviously I am immediately back to researching strollers ::eye roll::

Last week (I think?) I confessed to hoping my sister was having another boy even though she wanted a girl.... well she's having a boy.  And I feel pretty happy about it.  Lol.  I am sure this will somehow turn into karma and kick my ass someday...

Yesterday I used my prep hour (when I'm supposed to be prepping for classes/grading/setting up) to go pick up my IVF meds.  Bad to the bone.

Apparently the first Austin Powers movie was released 20 years ago this week. I've not seen any of them.

sunniegrly

Haha. I'm ON the bench and I bought a receiving blanket this week. 

In other receiving blanket confession news: long ago (as in, when they were current) I was lurking the August '16 BMB birth announcements and saw a really cute receiving blanket. It took me months but I finally found it and ordered it. It's from Walmart and I don't even care. I have approximately one million receiving blankets. I could take kids to Vegas in the summer and I'll make 'em wrap up in a blanket, I have so damn many.

ETA: crappy pixelated picture of this week's blanket. It reminded me of the fabric we used to use to cover our last dog's chair so I double loved it. 

doxiemoxie212

@kiki75 *googles what a receiving blanket is*

msmeeseeks

@kiki75 - I LOVE both of those!!

pebbledam

@doxiemoxie212, @kiki75 - The first time I asked MH to grab me a receiving blanket, he came back empty handed because he didn't know what one was. 

icecubeinthedesert

My FFFC is that my progesterone suppository had me pretty turned on the other morning. *Shrugs*

JennyColada

My FFFC is that when the puppy wakes up in the middle of the night to go pee I pretend that I "sleep through it" so that DH has to let him out while I get to stay cozy in bed and snooze. 10/10 would do again.

petethecat

@icecubeinthedesert mass-a-two-tits!! 

eggplantface

@kiki75 I don't know what a receiving blanket is either. But I don't know anything about babies.

kiki75

Haha. They're just all-purpose blankets. Wrap the kid up, something to lay them in on the floor/grass, drape it over the car seat, tuck around them in the car seat (since they're not supposed to wear coats/fluffy clothes in the car seat), set up to block the sun... all the things. 

KariAnn323

I just got got my final grade for my annual appraisal at work. I got the highest grade possible. Per my supervisor it's almost impossible to get this grade if you're not a manager (I'm not). 

FFFC: I spend a lot of my work day on my cell phone or in general not doing work.

eggplantface

FFFC: I don't get upset by Mother's Day. I see Mother's Day as a Hallmark holiday like Valentine's Day. But I really hope everyone who is struggling this weekend gets through it without any pain. Drink wine and stay away from social media and brunch.

BertieMeetsGertie

@KariAnn323 way to go!!

Teach me your ways! I want to be cynical and not care. Instead all the sappy commercials remind me of my loss and make me angry at the universe again and again.

@KariAnn323 Sounds like you should be asking for a promotion and a raise!

@adirat I wish I could! I'm so sorry you're in pain. So many hugs for you. 

leekat14

@eggplantface I also don't really care about mother's day.  I don't need one day of the year to celebrate my mom.   What I do care about it is all of the people out there that don't have their mother around or want to be a mother and aren't there yet in their journey.  I hate that it is a hard day for all of those people.  

petethecat

I'm drunk and I just had amazee DH is home for the weekend non-procreational sex. (Jesus haaaannndddsss)

@kbamomma33


Yasssss you got your groove back!

pebbledam

I bought an automatic litter box in January because we were going out of town and we have a cat that only likes to pee in pristine litter. And because I was totes gonna get knocked up right away. 

[Deleted User]

Along the same vein as @doxiemoxie212 and @kiki75 ...

My FFFC: I accepted a job offer that comes with ivf coverage... so I finished buying all my fitted diapers.  Bc Mother's Day sale.

Double FFFC: When I called one of the shops to ask about the pricing, I sort of got a little giddy kick out of her just assuming I'm a mom.  Like I guess bc I'm buying all these diapers?  Yeah, I could <i>totally</i> pass for an actual mom on the phone...

@eggplantface I'm with ya on Mothers Day.  I always kind of enjoyed spoiling or getting cards for all the "moms" in my life, long before we started trying (my mom, MiL, SMIL, SIL, friends, aunts with or without kids etc) so luckily IF hasn't really changed that for me, too much.  It's just not about me, still.  Neither is Fathers Day or Veterans Day or Presidents Day etc etc... of course I look forward to a time when DH will get Me the Mother's Day cards, and get the kids to make me such precious, crafty things, but.... not today.

I do feel tho for loss moms esoecially tho, and I wish they would actially make a bigger deal about Bereaved Mother's Day.  Cos really. (((Hugs)))

petethecat

@msmeeseeks Yes girl. Just needed a little liquid courage, I guess.   

kiki75

FFSC: My kid sister has been engaged for a month now. I just realized that I should maybe friend her fiancé on Facebook. 


I mayyyybe have some complicated feelings about all of it, not all of which are about her happiness. 

One small bit: she mentioned that the current plan is to have the wedding next May. I have zero intention on slowing down the fertility treatment train based on that (it'll be a 13-hour drive away). 

[Deleted User]

Nor should you! @kiki75. If that's her plan, fx you're either there with your brand new LO, or looking large and in-charge in your gorgeous MOH dress (she 100% let you pick out the cut), or jeez, sorry I couldnt make it - BEING PRACTICALLY IN LABOUR AND ALL.  I really do think it's like, she's gonna live her life, you gotta live yours! And don't feel bad about it for a second ;)

vflux33

@kiki75 I feel like medical treatments > fancy parties. Hopefully there won't be a conflict because stuff will happen for you sooner, of course! (Counts months in head)

I'm all over this not sure how upset I am about Mother's Day thing, but agree that for those with losses especially I can't imagine how shitty it is and I hope you guys do OK this weekend and that it goes by fast. My birthday is less than a week after Mother's Day and I'm turning 34, so in regard to IF I'm freaking out way more about that personally, since we started when I was still 32 and AMA is around the corner, etc. F you, time.

Unrelated FFSC: MH and I have nicknamed negative HPTs "Mr. Noperson", as in "Hey, did you check in with Mr. Noperson this morning?", or, "Mr Noperson says hi." And because they are also becoming our best friend we've decided that Mr Noperson has a cousin, "Señor Nopo," (negative OPKs), who owns a restaurant, as in "Table for 2 at Señor Nopos today," and "There's a special tonight at Señor Nopos!"

We're SO mature. 

JennyColada

@vflux33 at least you're having fun with it! I think I'm going to test Mon, so I may have to have a similar conversation with my BFF. 

msmeeseeks

@vflux33 - Ha! Mr. Noperson and Señor Nopos, hilarious!

FFSC: I took my car for an emissions inspection so I can renew my tag. The guy said "Your car smells like Diet Pepsi." I strongly considered leaving right then and there. I'm not sure if the confession is my car smells like diet soda, or that I'm a weirdo that was deeply offended and angered by the comment. For the record, I rarely drink soda, and I would NEVER drink Diet Pepsi.

eggplantface

@msmeeseeks Diet Pepsi has a smell?

msmeeseeks

@eggplantface - Haha, to that guy it does! He acted like he was complimenting me/my car. I don't think I've ever considered smelling a Diet Pepsi. Whatever the case, I wish he had kept his opinion to himself!
