My belly button vanished at some point over the weekend.  It hasn't popped but it looks like someone came along and just stitched it closed.

@elcd458 - I've always had a bit inbetween an innie and an outie, but now it's just flat.

@elcd458 I've been waiting for mine to pop but mine is normally super deep and it's mostly flat now with just a bit of a divot in the center.  There was a girl at my childbirth class who was a week behind me and hers had definitely already popped (I think she would have been 34w then).

I just pre-registered for admission to L&D whoa.  Nice to have the financial/insurance stuff out of the way already!

My belly button popped super early. Like I was barely showing but my belly button was out front and center starting around 15 weeks ago. I'll be happy when it returns to normal haha.

I would kill for a Chick Fil a peppermint milkshake right now, but they aren't selling them yet  whyyyyyy??? curse you pregnancy, cravings...

I just ordered my breast pump. Shit's gettin' real.

I found a used Sarah Wells Annie bag on FB marketplace for $80.  It looks to be in EUC too! Kinda stoked on the find since it's such a coveted style and it has been discontinued.  I have the Navy and White stripped Abby in my Amazon Registry. Sorry if I seem braggy, I just can't believe I found such a great pumping bag!

Guyyys ...I have never seen an episode of the Ellen Show before today (other than that clips they show on FB) and I love it!!!  

jesrude

@marley629 in my early 20's when I worked food service and had days off, I would run on the treadmill at my apt. gym while watching ellen.  It's honestly a little habit I miss a lot.  She's great!

failuretofly

@Marley629 seriously!??! have you been living under a rock? haha She's been on for like 10+ years! lol

MJDsquared

@marley629 I’ve never watched a full episode either, just clips online!

I really want to watch Christmas movies. And I think the urge just hit to decorate too. When I get home today I may just start dragging everything out!

I'm so over being preggo - Should I drink castor oil Y or N ??!?!?!

kyrwyn

@anewadventure My thoughts exactly.  Is pregnancy rage at the sight of "am I in labor" drive-bys also a sign of labor?

OMG I ATE THREE WHOLE PINEAPPLES WHY AM I STILL PREGNANT??

skc040512

@anewadventure So when I was pregnant with DD I legit craved pineapple all 3rd trimester. All I could think was that I was a freaking cliche 

jlemons-2

I like a few of the crazies!!! 

failuretofly

@anewadventure @kyrwyn @flowerpower5838
All my rage around the drive-by's is centered around the replies being so nice...
I want to barge in and be like 
WTF GUYS?! 

elvenchick92686

@failuretofly i sooooo wanted to post a bitchy post reply about it cause i was raging that day but i didnt since the nice replies were already out lol. I should've though. Oh well maybe the next one we can tag team it lol. 

I am almost half tempted to go to the November board and see if they posted anything similar. I raged to SO about it and his response was "apprently you dont do online boards alot" and tried to compare this board to his gamer board.....ummmmm no babe just no lol. 

failuretofly

Speaking if crazy drive bys... check out "why am I still being sent home?!" On the Nov board   

MJDsquared

So I was out of town last night and DH texted me, "I miss the baby," and it was so horrendously cute.

@failuretofly OMG YES I have been following that one so hard. I love the snark they've given her. And I also don't get being nice to drive bys. Unless they have some scary issue or something going on, then I'll be totally compassionate. But otherwise...just, no.

Oh and I refuse to love-tit ANY birth announcements on our board that are just randoms. I noticed in the November board there was someone who posted a birth announcement and then posted a picture of her baby in the HDBD baby edition thread...and those were her first posts EVER on TB. Why?!

elcd458

@failuretofly  At first my only thought was "how can she have waited a week over her due date if she's 40 weeks now?" and trying to do math... but when it devolved into #PlantLife I just about died.

Marley629

@failuretofly haha I've been watching that thread too.  She's nuts.  My favorite is when someone told her to enjoy her bath Bc she needs to calm the F down.  

jlemons-2

It looks like MUD to me. Her words are trying to provoke. 

jlemons-2

So someone in July posted that she is eating healthy during pregnancy and wanted to know if it was a problem because she "heard" your body requires junk food while pregnant.

@jlemons-2 I'm just going to pretend that's a real thing to make myself feel better about my crappy snacking habits.

breezybee

BRB going to stalk other boards and find drama

kyrwyn

@breezybee Bring back some good stuff! Happy hunting!

Between bad constipation and the fact I had my winter boots on, it looked like I had gained 10 lbs since my last visit at the doctor today.  No. Just poop and shoes, folks. Poop and shoes.

i can't believe you leave your shoes on when you get on the scale! LOL

H and I are both having serious senioritis about work.  I cannot wait to go on mat leave and get the fuck away from my awful boss (I will be looking for new positions while out), and he has been having some issues at work with one particular person that have ballooned out of control.  He's excited for a clean slate when he returns so he can focus on the projects he wants to work on and make sure those projects don't include that person.  

My boss has a really bad cold but keeps coming to work and it's just one more reason for me to get ragey about her getting out of my face

elcd458

@anewadventure  The little triage rooms where they take vitals are so small, I'd be like a bull in a china shop if I tried to take my boots off!  I asked at my first appointment and they said it didn't matter on or off as long as I always did it the same way every time. That particular day I had on ratty ballet flats and knew my feet stunk so I opted for shoes on. Oh well

DH bought a can of beets randomly and decided to eat them tonight. I know I’ve tried them and didn’t like them but couldn’t remember when or what they tasted like so he made me try a bite. Omg it was like eating dirt, but with a terrible weird texture! And the taste is not leaving my mouth, like 10 minutes and many drinks of flavored water later. Gross.

Beets are so disgusting!! Lol. DD loved only golden beets, roasted and puréed when she was tiny. Now she hates all food except French toast and fresh ramen noodles 

babybison

@MJDsquared No no no! That's not a good way to eat beets. They're best roasted with goat cheese. I love beets!
Just remember you ate them, because they tint your pee pink and that usually surprises me. 

nothingbuttherain

@MJDsquared totally agree that beets are gross. Sadly we have them at every family gathering because apparently my family doesn't agree with me.

...and my dog just set her chin on my wrist while I'm typing and hasn't moved it. She's been super extra clingy lately.

anewadventure

@rebeckyjoy what a GORGEOUS pooch! 

failuretofly

For some reason at work last night was 'comment on [failuretofly]s pregnancy day'... I literally had the same conversation like 8 times:

Coworker or Patient: "oh wow you've really popped! How much longer now/How far along are you/how many shifts left?"
Me: "Ya that happens! 4 weeks/36 weeks/5 shifts"
CorP: "Oh Wow! And you're still working?! Good for you!! I hope you're taking it easy!"
Me *rationalizes why working instead of sitting at home is better*

Seriously.. I worked longer with DS AND I was working nights then and I didn't get this many comments, and I am measuring SMALLER than I was with him... People are annoying

nothingbuttherain

@anewadventure thanks! She's a sweetie. 

@failuretofly I'm getting more comments like that too at work. Why are we still there? *sigh*
