Weekly Randoms 4/20 - 4/26

I just noticed we didn’t get a randoms thread started this week! 

Is there any interest in a Plus-size Check In thread? I am not sure we need one every week as suggested in the board organization post... maybe monthly? I know we had one when I was pregnant with my DD (Dec 2014 BMB) and I found it helpful especially as a first time mom. ❤️

@krystrist2014 I think that's a great idea!

I have a random from yesterday.  One of my co-workers totally called me out yesterday. First she asked if there was something everyone else knew that she didn't (the answer is no because at that point we hadn't even told our families!). I kinda played dumb and was like "what do you mean?" so she says "you're pregnant, aren't you?". And I just started laughing, but didn't deny it. I wasn't even offended because she is literally my favorite co-worker and she's always so nice and easygoing that I know she meant well even if it was an odd way to go about it. Moral to the story is that we ended up texting our families a cute picture to announce last night because there's no hiding #3!

@acdc1109 thanks for the response. 😊 And wow! Lol. I’m glad you like this coworker and that it was okay in the end because it totally could have gone the other way!

@acdc1109 One of the reasons I’m glad I’m working from is because there is no way I’d be able to hide it! I am showing so much earlier than with my first. I’m glad you like this coworker because like @krystrist2014 said that totally could have gone the other way. 

Here’s my random.... The weather here has been So inconsistent and it’s getting on my nerves! It was like 60 on Sunday and Monday, it dropped to 30 yesterday and rain, and 44ish today. It was nicer here in March. I can’t wait for it to stay nice and fairly warm.

@windywoman +1 on the weather craziness! I'm in central Pa and it feels like if it isn't raining it's super windy and still no fun being outside! We need to play outside to get the boys extra tired so this weather has NOT been working for me!

@windywoman @acdc1109 We had to clean snow off the car to get to our ultrasound this morning... I mean...it's end of April!

@mimser ☹️

I keep packing away winter clothes in bins and pulling them back out! 

I just hope is doesn’t jump from snow to sweltering in a week.

+1 to wishing for warmer weather. I'm in the mitten and we've had the same cold, windy, rainy weather. We've had maybe 1 day a week the past month where it's been warm enough to spend the day outside. This isolation is ridiculously hard when we are stuck inside all day and I can tell my son is getting bored and antsy.

My random: I was shocked when I came onto the boards just now and December, January, & February boards are up. I remember with my son getting so excited when a new board would pop up because it meant I was 1 month closer to having my baby. Now 3 boards at once has me feeling like I've jumped a million months ahead!

I have no idea what y’all are talking about. 😂 It’s 94 here and sunny in South Texas. It’s been like this all week.. actually for about a month.... too bad I’m stuck in my dungeon of a home office.
