Might as well get this board going....post your randoms here

srscott3

DH is working late tonight and DD is being defiant. So I’m giving in and letting her eat her dinner in the living room while watching boss baby. MOTY right here

TJtheGoat

I’m counting the minutes until I can sneak out of work. I have absolutely no concentration today. 

Does anyone one know how to make this a starred board on my home page?

luckystar28

Thank god this is open! Geez! 😂

eleven_

I'm watching The Great British Baking Show while eating chocolate covered cashews. I'm so tired! Kids are eating cereal for dinner

@TJtheGoat It usually takes a day or two once the board is open for it to appear on the list of BMBs. 

TJtheGoat

Thank you @eleven_ I’ve been wanting to start Great British Baking. I heard it’s very different from the American reality shows. 

nmbrcrnchr1

@TJtheGoat yea I’m hoping it shows up soon, only way I can get to it on the app is to go through the 1st trimester board and click on the link someone posted 😡 

@srscott3 my DD knows when DH is working late or out of town she gets to eat in the living room and sleep in our bed, I should prob quit allowing the sleepovers before next June, but I just love the cuddles and she sleeps so much better with me 😬

Currently watching SNL, half very funny and half eh not so much.

eleven_

@jhems776 That's how I feel with SNL too except more like 75% not funny. 

TJtheGoat

It’s hard to laugh at SNL lately because it’s too real. The line between satire and reality feels very thin. 

I’m finally on my way home from work and BFs mom is picking up Chinese food! Yay for stuffing my face and sitting on the couch.

Just came here to say... 

HOLY HELL RLP. Have any STM’s noticed its WAY worse this time? I get struck with it at bedtime and its so so so painful. My OB said second pregnancies usually mean way more intense (and earlier) RLP. 

luckystar28

@moralesbaby19 I haven’t noticed 😬 Yikes. Is this to come? I’m 5 weeks today. I did notice the nausea, sore boobs and fatigue kicked in way faster this time around though.. 

nmbrcrnchr1

Ugh, I hate the dreams. 2 nights in a row I’ve had very vivid dreams that I wake up from and now I can’t go back to sleep. I’m so exhausted. 😴 

marijaa333

@moralesbaby19 is that RLP? I was googling "dull ache, right side" after waking up at 4:30am this morning.

My random is that I'm half way around the world for work and I just wanna go home!

carleym93

@luckystar28 You may be the lucky one and avoid it! I haven’t had nausea (yet) but the RLP is killing me. I had always heard every pregnancy is different but this one is really reminding me of that. 

@marijaa333 Yes!! I was thinking to myself “what the actual f is that ache?” but its RLP. My OB explained that FTMs usually don’t feel it until towards the end but in STMs the ligaments have already stretched out and then stretched back to normal. Every time they stretch again (each subsequent pregnancy 😟) the ligaments are stronger and therefore the pain is greater. Mine has been like yours, kind of a dull ache, but last week they were horrible and actually woke me up from sleep. 

luckystar28

@nmbrcrnchr1 The dreams are wild! It’s fascinating. Do we always dream like this but just not remember them!? 

jhems776

@moralesbaby19 I haven’t yet, ah that was so painful last time, not looking forward to that part.  Sorry
 it is starting so soon.

@nmbrcrnchr1 The very vivid dreams have started before my BFP, I also hate them. They always leave me a bit anxious and with crap sleep. 

jhems776

Seriously though, WTF Kanye.  It took us a while to figure out that this was not a skit. 

runyogamom

@moralesbaby19 unfortunately I'm with you on the RLP. I was so confused on why it was happening already and thought it had to be something else. Thanks for the OB explanation. It makes sense now! 

And yes to all on the dreams- but mine have all been nightmares lately. So annoying because it makes it hard to go back to sleep. 

DS is either teething or was just to hot last night because it is 80 degrees again this week and was awake four times. I can't function properly today.

marijaa333

Thanks, @moralesbaby19 that was helpful. My ache seems gone now, but I'm wondering if it'll come back again at night.  Welcome to the RLP club, I guess, @runyogamom!

luckystar28

I’m so bloated that I swear I’m showing though I know I’m not 😂

carleym93

@luckystar28 I am seriously wearing maternity pants right now my bloat is so bad. 

whitney812

I decided to make my daughters Halloween costume this year (Tinkerbell, and I am not crafty) and now I’m sitting here in a pile of tulle questioning if it was worth saving the $20 😆

spacepiraterunner

@whitney812 my mom made me a wedding dress costume when I was 6, and she hated every minute of it (crafts are definitely not her thing) but I still remember it as the most beautiful dress I owned as a kid and I adored it. I bet your daughter will too!

Has anyone experienced spotting I had some yesterday then it stopped then today a bit again so my obgyn told me to go in for a blood test and I did and they never called me so I’m guessing everything fine just never had spotting with my first child so it’s new to me 

luckystar28

@smb143xo Was it beta testing? If so you’d go in again in a couple of days for another blood test to check the growth of your hcg levels. I’m surprised they didn’t say anything to you about going back. Or maybe it was a blood test pregnancy test? Regardless, I’d follow up with the office and let them know about the spotting and discuss your results. Were they perhaps measuring progesterone levels? 

ncm1919

We struggled to get pregnant with my daughter so I took it for granted that the second time would take some work. It ended up happening our first cycle and now I’m stuck with an insane traveling schedule. 

I have three flights that leave before 6a over the next 5 days. One of my two trips is for my annual girls trip which will be fun but sober now. It should be interesting to watch everything go down lol. We didn’t think this grip through and decided to go to a town that only has a regional airport which was unbelievably expensive. So now I’m flying to Atlanta and then have to drive 4 hours. All of this should be fun with nausea

little overwhelmed and rambling at 5:19a on a Wednesday. 

nmbrcrnchr1

@smb143xo spotting can be normal during early pregnancy. I had a few spotting episodes with my DD who is now 2 1/2 and perfectly fine. But I agree with @luckystar28 that if they did a beta test you need more than one done to tell you something. Due to previous loss I’ve gotten 3 betas this pregnancy and each time I’ve had to call my drs office for the result. 

jhems776

Well after previously saying no RLP,  I cursed myself. I just sneezed and holy sh pain. I forgot about the procedure to sneeze with RLP, bend a little and put pressure on the RL.

Since I've been watching The Great British Baking Show lately, DH and I attempted making homemade bread last night. It was so delicious! I think I'm almost ready to send in my application to be the next baker on the show  

I forgot to take an after pic, but here it is before it went in the oven. 

luckystar28

@eleven_ Looks delicious! I am impressed!

luckystar28

I need to relearn how to gif. Man, I increasingly feel like a Bump grandma though it was only two years ago that I was obsessed with these forums

spacepiraterunner

@eleven_ is that some sort of flavored challah? It looks fantastic!

marijaa333

@smb143xo i spotted lightly for a day about a week ago and then today had a tiny spot just once after wiping. I can't really tell you if it means anything or not but I know it can happen.

navyblueladybug

I was listening to DD’s playlist in the car and When You Wish Upon a Star came on and the tear were just streaming down my face. I composed myself, but then A Dream Is A Wish Your Heart Makes came on and I lost it again... Curse you hormones! 

nmbrcrnchr1

I picked up pizza on the my at home last night and this morning my car still smells like pizza. I think I may vomit on my way to work today 🤢 

jhems776

When do we start check-ins?  I guess right now just about all of us are in the first group, lol.  Last time the check-ins were by day of the week you turn a week and I was at the end of the month so it was all up and going before I got there.  I was going to start one if there was interest. 

prpl11butterfly

Why is pregnancy brain starting already?! I'm so mad at myself! In trying to balance 2 statements at work yesterday and today I kept coming up 5mil short. I wasted 2hrs this morning going back through and comparing them to find where the issue was. I found it. You can't balance to 0 if your using positive numbers for both statements. One has to be a negative total **facepalm**

nmbrcrnchr1

@jhems776 I’m not sure if there’s been a discussion on whether we do weekly check ins (jun 1st - 7th) or ticker (day of the week) check ins. I honestly don’t care either way, some people have strong opinions on them though 😁

luckystar28

@jhems776 We are still on group 1? Dang. A lot more ladies to come! I think the group number vs week day ticker change is the way bmbs have been doing it lately from what I’ve seen. I’m happy with whatever 

jhems776

Oh, I really like the switch to groups over tickers.  It seems to make more sense.  I just wanted to start the Group 1 check-in now.
