Guys...daylight savings ends this weekend. I mean, yay for an extra hour of sleep (assuming DD and my bladder cooperate)? But it's gonna be dark all the freaking time now...

i just kind of shake my fist at the fact that the days get shorter and shorter. dang science and earth tilting and orbit around the sun...i feel like you can't win. right now i get to work in the pitch dark. after DST this weekend, it will be light when i get to work (barely) but pitch dark when i leave. i love the colder months (i'm just not a hot weather person) but my body seems to be old-fashioned. if it's dark out, i get sleepy. if it's light out, i wake up.

@anewadventure wtf! And wow I can't believe July is up. That seems so far away from now but then I realize that this board started in April which is pretty wild too.

@babybison omg haha that whole thread is just... wow... so much taking things way too personally... but that one who claims she is a nurse is a huge bitch and i genuinely feel bad for her patients lol
So, I accidentally found out about a co-worker's pregnancy before they were telling anyone (caught her and her husband touring the daycare we use for DD), so we've had this little secret between us. Today she found out she miscarried, so then she had to tell me. I feel so bad for her anyway, but also because she didn't really choose to share with me that she was pregnant and then she had to tell me she lost the baby! I told her if she needs a hug or wants to go to lunch or coffee to talk, I am totally available. I just doubt a super-pregnant lady is the person you want to be around when dealing with a loss.

@cait5413 Oh, no. That's horrible. I'm sure she appreciates the gesture of you offering to be there for her, but I do agree she probably won't take you up on it (at least right away) because of your pregnancy.
@cait5413 oh dear. That is so sad. Your instincts are probably right that she won't want to hang out. But you didn't do anything wrong that led to your unique knowledge and your knowing may be a help to her down the line...I was out with a group of women a few months after my loss. Not all of them know my story. Somehow the topic went to birth and surgery experiences and my good friend was able to gracefully change the topic before anyone noticed that my mood had fallen off a cliff and I was barely keeping it together.
Guys... I just spent 15 or so minutes wandering around my house looking for DH... he had gotten home while I was upstairs doing something, then I came down and he was gone... all the cars still here, doors all locked, keys all accounted for, shoes accounted for... checked literally every room... only to come back to the main floor and realize he'd been napping on the couch the whole. entire. time.
I literally thought he vanished into thin air before considering he may be napping on the couch hahaha
holy fuck this fetus is literally stealing my brain power hahahaha
@cait5413 oof that's a tough one, but you definitely did the right thing. I was pregnant a year ago and told a coworker in private, because she had just come back from maternity leave and I wanted to know some details on our company's policy. I had to tell her a few weeks later that I was no longer pregnant, and even though I was dreading the conversation, it was a major relief to let her know. The fact that she was supportive but also gave me a ton of space was nice. She didn't go overboard and check in with me or anything after my mc. When I told her I was pregnant again months later, she was SUPER excited and has been giving me a ton of (helpful) advice as well as hand-me-downs now, which I really appreciate.

So my OB’s office is in the same health system as the hospital where I’m delivering (the buildings are connect by a sky bridge). In my online account for the hospital system I can pay any hospital charges directly (like blood draws in the outpatient lab). It also shows the balance for my OB’s office, but you can only pay those bills on their website...and you have to have a statement number. Well my OB’s office was sending statements in the beginning and then just stopped for months. I’ve paid in the office twice, most recently on the 24th for like $50.
I just got a statement today with the $50 balance saying I’m 60 days past due. Well, maybe if you sent statements in a timely manner I never would’ve been past due! And I already paid so I shouldn’t even care but I’m just super annoyed.
Had my first labor dream last night. And in the dream I think I was in the hospital for hours and had one contraction. Then it cut to later and I was still pregnant and out and about, and someone asked, “you haven’t had the baby yet?!” and apparently all those hours in the hospital weren’t the real thing and I got sent home. Lol.
@breezybee I was just complaining about the same thing. I've outgrown 2 pairs of jeans and my comfiest leggings. Not happy with the thought of buying bigger clothes to wear for a few weeks.
This girl due the day before me posted a bump pic with a “32 weeks” sign and then said, “8 months?!” If you’re 8 months pregnant, you’re gonna have an 8-week-long month 9! That’s not how this works.
I refuse to tell anyone how many months pregnant I am because literally every human seems to think that each month is four weeks long. I drives me insane. I also get annoyed when people say pregnancy is really ten months long. Umm, no, it's not.
@jlemons-2 My father, a retired biology professor, mind you, ALWAYS tries to convert to months when he asks how far along I am. Like, why is XX number of weeks not good enough?! You know pregnancy is 40 weeks (I hope...).
@MJDsquared@jlemons-2 I am that person haha 32 weeks = 8 months and 36 weeks = 9 months. I know it's stupid and I don't care. I just thoroughly enjoy telling people I am 9 months pregnant for the last 4 weeks lol
So I just tried to hand mop our kitchen floor. I can only imagine the visual I was giving because it was rather comical! Needless to say, that venture was short lived.
@failuretofly Yup I do the exact same thing. From 32-35 weeks I’m 8 months and starting at 36 weeks I’ll be saying 9 months. I don’t care if it’s inaccurate it makes me feel better!
First load of baby laundry is currently in the dryer and I don’t know if I’ve ever felt so productive. Ha! But I have to say I also don’t know if a load of laundry has ever caused me so much anxiety (“are these colors like enough?!” -my brain the entire time I was loading the washer, lol).
@MJDsquared the first load of baby laundry I did for DS all the whites turned bright pink because I also put a red flannel blanket in with them (hellooooo pregnancy brain). I spent the rest of the night soaking and rewashing them multiple times in oxyclean to get them mostly white again!
Has anyone looked at the ultrasounds thread? I randomly went on there today and like half the people have never posted anything other than their ultrasound pics. Why would you think anyone gives a shit about your ultrasound if you are a complete stranger? That's more of a MBF, but oh well.
Momma to Amelia Marie (7/14) and Austin Samuel (11/17). Adding baby (girl) #3 on 7/21
@ameliabedelia-2 right? I was creeping the Nov Birth announcements then one of their regs posted 'hey we don't know half of you'... like why would you announce the birth of a baby no one knew nothing about... some with photos of the baby! Seems so odd!
