@megpants209 We've tried, but no luck. I'm 16w5d, and I've read that it's possible to hear the heartbeat with a stethoscope around 20 weeks. So I'll impatiently wait until then!
Karma kicked my ass tonight. I picked up some super spicy jalapeños from a produce stand near by. H can handle some crazy heat and these were about at his limit. The one he ate tonight was what looks like the second hottest one, and he was sweating, huffing and puffing while eating it. I decided to roast the last one to put in his lunch. My mistake, it made me sneeze and gag until I peed my pants.
I have this little moment of excitement when I see a new BMB come up since it means we are that much closer to being done. Also I enjoy the extra lurking I can get out of it.
my bump made it's first public appearance yesterday, one of the few colleagues that knows im expecting pulled me aside and told me she could see it when I was sitting at my meeting and it wouldn't take long for people to figure it out if it kept popping out like that. Guess next week is when I tell my two teams
@ohsunnydays I need to get a silicone wedding band for DH because his finger size fluctuates way too much and now I'm thinking I should probably get one for myself too. It's definitely getting snugger!
All of you ladies with tight wedding bands: go with what @becks_726 is thinking and try Qalo! Or an off-brand Qalo! They're silicone and stretchy and come in all sorts of colors and designs. I bought one last year for weight lifting, and it's so much more comfortable than my wedding band and engagement ring. I switched to wearing the Qalo exclusively once I got the BFP, because I do not want to have to get my wedding rings cut off when my fingers inevitably swell a bit. I would suggest ordering from Amazon, if you have Prime, because I had to order three different sizes to find the one that fit me best. Free returns was very nice for that. Alternatively, REI and I think Dick's carries them, so you could always go there and try them on.
I like to pick on DH for not wearing his, @conchispita! Poor guy has had it resized so many times but between weight fluctuations and temperature changes, he can't find a size that always fits. @disneybaby84 pretty sure DH has considered that but I think we'll try silicone first. Seems like a bit less of a commitment

Guyssss. I told a girl I work with that I’m pregnant. Her response? “Ohhh good! I’m so happy for you. I was really wondering if maybe you were just going really hard on the desserts because I know you have a sweet tooth...”
@megpants209 what kind of rock has she been living under that makes her think that is appropriate?!
People are nuts- I had a dental appointment today and both my husband and I have seen the same hygienist over the years. I told her I was pregnant to not have the X-ray, and she said “How exciting! I can’t wait to see pics, I love mix race babies.”...
Omg @casperthefriendlybeeb. I hope you looked her straight in the eye and said “I prefer pure raced babies myself” to show her how ridiculous that sounds!

It was honestly such a strange thing to hear from a random person that I literally had no words... I was walking back to the office after the appt and thought of like 12 come backs that I should have said. My pregnancy brain is making me lose my in the moment sass...
@casperthefriendlybeeb yes to this! I am usually pretty good at witty banter and spontaneous sass, as you call it. But I think the sheer shock of what some people will say to pregnant women puts my brain in "wait...wtf did you say" mode. My rude co-worker now just gets an dead blank stare when she says something moronic, because I am too tired to waste my brain effort on her...lol
@megpants209 it really IS the day of shitty comments! I sent out an email to coworkers about me leaving early Thursday next week for a dr appt. One of the guys later asked me if it was my ultrasound and would I find out the sex? I said no, it's not an ultrasound this time. He then asked "Oh, what is it then?" I somehow managed to look at him and say with a straight face: "Pap smear". He got really red and walked away.
Seriously though, what about pregnancy makes it ok to ask WHY someone's going to the doctor?? I guess our bodies are just public domain now. Maybe I should update them all on my itchy nipples and vaginal discharge too?? Fucking hell.
