I have a dead horse to beat

ludicrous · July 2011

I am really behind on the whole Baby Making blog girl. She is mud right? I hadn't really had time to read the blog but have been looking at it today and it's like she has managed to get every damn thing we make fun of on here in there somewhere.

It seems like a whole lot of effort to be MUD but there is just no way someone got a BFP on the evening of 6 DPO.

SandNSurf · July 2011

Today is the first day I saw it and I really didn't read it all the way through... but they just seem like weird people. If she is MUD, that would make sense to me.

JenniferJaneC · July 2011

I had forgotten about her until the post earlier today. Some of the things on that blog are just insane.

But I don't think she's MUD.

+diana82+ · July 2011

I'm even more behind because I have no clue what you're talking about. Is this the chick that wasn't going to come out in public for 9 months?

robinsokj · July 2011

I noticed today that she has a series of Tuesday questions. Tuesday questions are not common knowledge that I know of.

andrew's wifey · July 2011

I love that in her latest entry she posts her 11 week photo then whines because she isn't thin anymore.

Dude. Still a stick.

And she says 'poo' after everything.

giaM28 · July 2011

Where can I mail her a tub of feta and gender test?

ellephunt · July 2011

Unfortunately I think she's real. I'm really gullible though. She has multiple blogs, I just really think she's like that in real life. She definately lurks though as she has referred to the idiots on the bump once.

N&G 5_26_07 · July 2011

Sadly, I think she is for real.

The BFP at 6dpo baffles me too. My only thought is perhaps she oed early and was actually later than she realizes.

ludicrous · July 2011

I am really pulling for her to have a boy and can't wait to see pictures of her 38+ weeks pregnant.

HappyAardvark · July 2011

She is a piece of work.

I'm thinking possibly mail order bride?

This "I'm stuffed" post is killing me.

I mean I am bursting at the seams with all the food I am supposed to eat!

I?m not a huge eater, I normally eat very low calorie healthy stuff and I need very little of it.

But this pregnancy is demanding that I eat at least 2000 calories a day! Yikes! That?s a LOT OF FOOD! (note: all calorie calculators say at my height and weight I should eat 2300 calories plus an additional 300 for pregnancy. I found that my body is different and never fit into Bmi and calorie calculators, probably because I?m so tall and naturally thin. So my normal calorie intake has always been 1700, possibly because I mostly eat vegetables and fruits and those are low calorie. So adding 300 calories for the baby, I?m at 2000 for the first trimester)

When you don?t eat hot pockets or burgers or meat lover?s pizzas all day long, 2000 calories is a difficult goal to achieve.

I eat salads, and fruits, and sauteed vegetables, whole grains ( that make you full really fast), I drink milk and kefir( yogurt-ish drink), I even have a cup or so of coconut milk ice cream when I can fit it in, but all that isn?t enough to get my 2000 calories a day.

I get excellent nutrition and a ton of it. Nothing bad, tons of good stuff. I get a perfect balance of carbs and protein, no added sugar, 35 grams of fiber a day, less than 40% DV of saturated fat. All my good nutrients are maxed out by the end of the day ( I enter everything I eat and track the vitamins and minerals from food), sitting at 200% of Daily Value and over, but I?m still at 1800 calories. And I feel FULL! So full that a thought of another glass of organic juice, or piece of whole grain bread or even an orange is a painful one.

Excitedtostart · July 2011

I want to cvnt punch her.

Also, she's going to be one of those idiots that keeps her infant and newborn on a low fat diet and then is upset because her kid seems behind. Idiot. It's pretty hard to form myelin if you don't have enough fat, and without myelin you're not going to get the nervous system expansion. Fat is brain food. I guarantee she'll be that girl.

I can't get past this picture. Someone posted it on PCE earlier but I didn't make the connection until now. O M G

Well isn't that how you found out? If not I feel sorry for your husband and your kids.

N&G 5_26_07 · July 2011

She posted on TB right after she got her 6dpo BFP. Maybe on 1T?

Thats where she was found. I don't think she still posts though. She was flamed, obviously.

N&G 5_26_07 · July 2011

I am so proud of myself - I feel like GC! I found her original post:

I wish she was MUD. Then she'd be funny, in that sort of pathetic train wreck way. But I think she's real. And that makes me sad.

Her H looks like he could be a Wiggle.

+diana82+ · July 2011

OMG YES. I was trying to think of how to describe him. He most definitely looks like a Wiggle. LOL!

SandNSurf · July 2011

Food aversions: The aversions are getting better, at least aversion to food in general. I still can?t stand the idea of eating lettuce or sardines, but it might be because they remind me of the horror I had to go through.

I can't stand the thought of sardines... I guess that's what she used to eat?

Then she says:

What I miss:
SUSHI! ( I really need to order a sushi kit and make my own, but I hate cooking right now, so i don?t know if it?d get much use)
BEING THIN (I feel I am getting fat. And not the pregnant fat- that I can live with- I am afraid I am getting simply fat: my legs, my stomach, it?s just scary looking to me. I know it might not seem that way to you, but I was sooo much fitter and skinnier 6 months ago, I just really miss that state.
Playing tennis and rollerblading: it?s too hot to play and with the balls flying everywhere and the amount of exersion tennis gives me it?s just not safe.

But have you seen her picture?? She doesn't look pregnant at all... and I don't get how she thinks she looks so bad when she also posted this today:

Total weight gain: 1.5-2 lbs ( I am at 136lb right now)

Since I'm still TTC, I really don't know if 2 pounds is normal at 12 weeks, but I will probably gain a lot more than that by 2T... but if I did gain 2 pounds, I wouldn't complain so much about being so fat. She is pregnant for goodness sakes.

Seriously.

Did you catch that she has a photo blog dedicated to self-portraits? How many of those beauties do thing hang on the wall in her house?

andrew's wifey · July 2011

You know, she was saying that she wanted to have as few U/S done as possible, yet they opted in for the NTS scan (am I saying that right? I'm out of practice and rusty on my jargon.), and she's complaining about there being no point to a checkup if there's no u/s.

Well, technically speaking that's not that weird. I was still down from my pp weight at that time because I was so sick.

Without serious m/s, I don't know. But I agree with your point about it being stupid to complain about minimal weight gain when you're pregnant. Not sure what she thought was going to happen.

NT scan (nuchal translucency)

And yeah. There are quite a few points to a check up without an u/s. Sheesh.

Ah, so saying NTS Scan is like saying VIN Number. Got it! I could easily have googled, but I'm a bum.

I didn't gain any weight until 3T, and even then I only gained about 13 lbs.

I dont get people who are all like "I demand a U/S at every apt!" My drs office doesnt have an in-house US machine. I have to go to the hospital (which is just on the other side of the parking lot, but still) I only get 3 (the early one to make sure it's in the ute, the anatomy scan and another one around 36 weeks), Im actually going to have 4 because i had to have a follow up for the anatomy scan. I think that's pretty standard practice right?

That's what my experience was as well- 3.

Some doctors only offer the NT scan and the anatomy scan, with no early or growth scan, unless there is an issue.

I'm not a great one to ask because I had about 20-23 u/s total. But I'm a habitual aborter and thus high risk. What you're describing sounds reasonable to me for a "normal" pregnancy.

And this is probably flameful of me, but it makes me kind of cranky when people complain about not getting a ton of u/s. If you are getting a ton, there's usually a not so great reason for it. And I spent the hour before every single one of those scans sobbing in the car/waiting room/etc because I was SURE this was the scan where it was all over. It wasn't like "oh goodie, another u/s! This will be fun!"

You know?

I discovered her blog from the posts on here and it has made my life so merry. She is absolutely nutters. This may be standard practice, but it seems she has to approve people's comments before they're posted, so obviously the only comments are those extolling her insane approach to pregnancy. The one about how it's sooooo hard to get 2,000 calories in made me roll my eyes so hard they hurt. Drink some melted butter and shut up.

True story: my sister used to eat sticks of butter dipped in sugar when she was little and could sneak away from our parents for a minute.

She's a fvcking cvntbag douche. Although that doesn't adequately describe my feelings for her. The whole 'I don't want him to get gay by toxoplasmosis or stress aiiiiiiieeee'.

*aaaaiiiieeee is the only way I can think to make a pathetic fake wailing sound.
