So PSA, apparently the blue washer fluid freezes, and if it's really really really f'ing cold out, you need the pink. You learn something new every day. Almost died on my way to work this morning thanks to frozen washer fluid and tons of salt on the road covering my windshield.
Signing off on my last control from one nightmare audit makes me so happy right now. Just one more control from my other nightmare one to go. The best part about it is that I'm not on them in 2018. Woohooo!
You guys. I know I've seen other people complain recently about stupid pop up ads but I'm going to join that. I can't even read a thread without having to close my app completely. What is happening? How do I make it stop?

Guys, my daughter has gymnastics tonight. My school is one of only 3 in our area open today because it is so frigid and blustery outside. I do NOT want to take her out in negative temps to gymnastics. I want MH to take her, but he's had about 6 hours of sleep in the past two days from plowing. Meh. Call me a waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaambulance!
@MrsMiller8588 I messaged TB through the app (there is a "How do you like our app?" thing when I sign in). I checked "we need to talk" and it asked for feedback. Ever since then, I haven't had any other pop ups. Coincidence, maybe. But I'll take it!
Ugh just had to block another anti vaxxer on facebook. I hold a lot of resentment towards the selfishness and entitlement they constantly try to spread through fear mongering....
@kat029 Have you had a root canal before? Try not to worry too much, I've always heard they are a NIGHTMARE so I was scared when I needed one. Piece of cake! I went to work right after, you're numb for the entire thing so there's no pain There was slight soreness, but nothing to be worried about!
@workinweezel I don't blame you at all, it's too cold to do anyyyyything these days. We had a good time with the cold, Mother Nature, can you just send it away now??
@lindsayleigh1989 I just saw a post today about antivaccination. Why can't people (some do of course) research before they get on facebook........ UGH. We all know that most people are going to scroll through facebook, not read half of the post and start assumptions about what goes on. So the OP is already uneducated then makes other people believe them. Block away, you don't need to see that nonsense!
I love JT! Has anyone seen the performance he did with Chris Stapleton a couple years ago at the Country Music Awards? So good.
H realized on new years eve that he didn't have 2018 stickers for his car, which conveniently is registered in my name. I had an appt at the DMV this morning to get it taken care of. I've been dreading it all week, but I got in and out of there in 10 minutes. That has to be some kind of world record.
Random, so most ladies if not all on the board are getting the NT scan in their first trimester right? I asked my doctor about that yesterday day at my 13 week appointment and she said no one really does that these days?? I find her to be very knowledgeable, but I was confused about that. She said there is a scan around 17 weeks though.
@gspmom21 i think the scan around 16 wks is more of a regular appointment and maybe more blood work (second tri screening). I had an NT scan with my first too but i think it was by state law (Cali).
@gspmom21 - we weren't even offered an NT scan, just the genetics testing which we declined. From my cursory research it seems it's not entirely accurate any way, so maybe most doc are just going with genetics screening instead?
Our next ultrasound isn't until almost 19 weeks and it will be the big gender and abnormality check.
@samjjorgensen. Totally. I had my full serving of fruit last night. Just make sure to eat all the colors to get a well balanced meal

@lindsayleigh1989 Ugh, don't get me started on the whole Anti-Vax thing. Apparently it still doesn't matter that the study they keep soap boxing has been proven to be completely false and was retracted.
@zande2016 AHH Thank you! I was trying to wash my windshield last week and I thought maybe there was ice blocking the sprayer, but today I had the same issue! Makes sense!
I know for me NT was part of the CA state program. I *think* I'm getting a US on Monday, OB has had me on an every 4 week schedule so far. I also still have an elective US I already paid for at the other (cheaper lab).
Random thoughts, I had committed to spend some time with my fellow fitness instructor friends this weekend in LA and I really don't want to! Already paid for hotel and I'm excited because I haven't seen them in a while but I just wish I could be lazy at home instead...
@lindsayleigh1989@nimmle I don't mind saying it...f*** anti-vaxxers. If my baby gets measles because some f***ing moron doesn't understand research science, I will personally go punch Jenny McCarthy in the vagina.
ETA: And yeah I'm having a really grouchy day today and feel like anti-vaxxers are an acceptable target for venting some of my temper.
On a lighter note, does anyone else find that their pants fit fine when standing up, but when sitting down, they suddenly DO NOT fit and need to be unbuttoned/unzipped?
@beanship i am currently wearing maternity yoga pants (as if normal yoga pants aren't enough) so yes absolutely, pants are not working for me. When I must wear zippered pants I've been wearing them unzipped with a belly band to keep from mooning people.
@beanship YUP! All my pants fit fine but sitting down...no way . Or after a meal. Currently in a pair of borrowed mat jeans and they are life. Just had lunch at the hubby's cafeteria and I feel good after 3 tacos and a cup of soup!

My body is so WEIRD. This kid is growing UP not OUT. I couldn't wear my normal jeans without a Bellaband for weeks, and now I'm back in them! I just want to look cute and pregnant! ::cries::
One of my favorite things in the world: when DH does the bedtime routine with DD and I hear them through the monitor saying prayers and singing “you are my sunshine” together. My heart...
I *think* I'm getting a US on Monday, OB has had me on an every 4 week schedule so far.
I’m super curious if your ob offers you one. I had my NT on 12/28, and my monthly Ob appt at 13+2 today — no u/s!! I was disappointed — and am now wondering if I’ll see my little guy again before 20 weeks. Hmm
Just got rate info from DDs daycare for the new baby. I knew they offered a sibling discount but couldn’t remember what it was. It’s only $100. Damn it. I was really hoping for a BOGO half off kind of deal....
