I think Bump awards are super lame and I really hope this board doesn't do them. Popularity contests on internet message boards are a real mystery to me.
Since being an adult I have pooped my pants 6 times and wet the bed twice. Granted thre were valid reasons behind them, but I fel like this is abnormally
Haha. I remember a time, DD was maybe 4 months old, when I felt a rumbling in my intestines. A very bad sort of rumbling. I made it home, I was sweating, trying to get my DD out of her car seat. I make it into the front door of my apartment building, run up the stairs and I am fumbling to get my key in my door while holding a squirmy baby. I get it open and the floodgates open.
I didn't make it to the bathroom. Oh lord, I did not make it to the bathroom.
I made my first alcoholic beverage purchase this week. I'm making a recipe that calls for a beer, and I admit, I was a little shocked that it took me forever to find a single bottle. Everything was in 6packs and above, hahaha!!
I am convinced that coffee is God's gift to mothers.
Fuck my insurance. My maternity does not kick in until Feb 1st, and I already had a blood screening. I'm not shocked that I have a huge bill for the blood screening since I currently do not have maternity coverage, BUT they labeled my Lymes disease screening as pregnancy related.
No, bitch. I had a tick IN MY LEG when I got my BFP. So of course, as you were drawing blood for pregnancy related screenings, I asked if you could check for Lymes too. Now that you've marked that as "pregnancy" and not "Lymes screening", I have to pay $300 for it!!
I could have gone to a walk in clinic and had the same test and paid $30. I'm SO irked. The woman at the doctors office was TOTALLY unsympathetic and a total bitch.

August Siggy Challange: Alcohol Porn - Get yer' drank on!
My mom (who lives 6 hours away) insisted that we have our home inspected once she found out I was pregnant. The house is 60 years old, and been in DH's family for the entire time. We live rent free, but there's lots of updating to be done (no dishwasher, wood paneling, crazy green linoleum, ....1950s stuff).
Anyway, part of me wants something to be wrong with it so that we can move back to my hometown to be closer to my parents (we live next door to his parents on one side, his brother uses our driveway to get to his house, and his sister lives four houses down). I love his family, but I miss mine. I shouldn't wish for toxic mold to be in our home, right?

I'm jealous of this. I still need to order one & then wait for it to be shipped. WAH!!!! I just want to go to Gambino's & get one!
I still have all me TTGP crap in my siggy & nothing for September in there because some crazy part of me feels like I'll jinx things if I switch it before pass my loss milestone. It's stupid, I know.
Also, we're going to look at a house on Sunday. There's nothing wrong with our current house, so I'm not telling anyone IRL that we're going. I'm really, really, really excited about the idea of having a larger home and am praying/hoping/whatevering that the stars will align and this would all work out.
I think midwives are great and I would consider using one if I could but I think the OB bashing gets old. There are going to be good and bad midwives just like there are going to be good and bad doctors.
This. I've had 1 friend IRL use a midwife. I'm sure in parts of the country it's really popular, but not where I am. I wouldn't consider using one simply because I really like my OB.
I got home from work last night and laid on the couch... Hubby thought it was pregnancy related and I wasn't feeling well so he made dinner and kept asking if I needed other things...
I didn't tell him that I felt fine and I let him keep getting me things...

1. they ship them worldwide! You can totally order one 2. I meant to tell you days ago, but your DD is so adorable! 3. FX on the house hunt!

I agree 100% I had an awful ob with DD. Horrible. But, he was one of thousands. I think a lot of the girls that hate OBs watched Business of Being Born and Born in the USA and think that they now have all the facts about birthing. Cause, you know med school apparently counts for nothing.
Also, what is this king cake that you are all going on about?
OH, and also...as of 10:42 this morning, I have officially devoured every snack and meal I brought with me to last the entire work day. I am now panicking about what I will do to sustain myself.

I know what it is, and my inbox is flooded with recipes to make my own, and I see it at my fancy grocery store, and for some reason I've never bought one.
Also, I'm a complete and total carb junkie. I could eat bread or bread related things 24/7. The fact that I haven't had this is so bizarre.
I'm scared shitless to have a 3rd baby. I felt instantly attached to my first 3 pregnancies (1 m/c), but I don't feel that at all with this one. I know I've only known about this pregnancy for 5 days, but I don't feel anything other than freaked out.
I don't read posts that have an excess of punctuation (!!!!!!!!! ?!?!!?!) or words in all caps. If I do open it, it is only in hopes of finding a shitshow inside.
First of all...I will be picking up our king cake this weekend. Now to decide if I want cream cheese or pineapple upside down (I have never had the later but it sounds amazing right now)
And to my confession: I wish my Dad's family would disappear. They stopped speaking to me after he died (I was 15) and only started again when they found out I was pregnant with DD. They acted like everything was fine and we had always been in contact. It pisses me the fuck off. My Mother wants me to 'forgive and forget' but I want nothing to do with those people. I do not consider them MY family and have a feeling that I will end up letting them know how I feel at some point during this pregnancy. I feel bad because I know my Mom will get the brunt of it from them.
I don't like Bumpies who go from board to board (especially their non-birth boards) to always put in their 2 cents and be snarky to everyone....it gets old
Another confession -- I plan to skip out of a meeting next week to get a pedicure
I know that DH's family are not as bad as others, but I resent most times when we have to be there for holidays (this Christmas-3 hours, so we went there the 24 and came back the 26) because I would so much rather be with my family. There were other reasons why this Christmas sucked (mostly related to being there), and I am trying to figure out how we can avoid it in the future, but feel horribly guilty that I am trying to prevent DH from spending Christmas at his parents because I would rather be at our own house, or with my parents.
Just so I don't come across as a total bitch, one option is trying to convince them to come up to our house for Christmas because we have way more space for guests and then DD can have Christmas in her own house.

I had a mini panic attack last night when I was thinking how life would be with 4 kids. There is nobody I can tell because everyone assumes we've been trying forever to have a biological baby (we haven't-- this was a total surprise), so if we get to announce this baby, people will be over the moon, and I am sensitive to people being over the top congratulatory for a biological baby vs when we adopted each of our kids. I might smack someone.
First of all...I will be picking up our king cake this weekend. Now to decide if I want cream cheese or pineapple upside down (I have never had the later but it sounds amazing right now)
and now I'm irrationally disappointed that mine was plain and not cream cheese. Dangit.

I'm feeling the same way. I still am in shock that I am pregnant because it took us a long time to conceive #2. Don't get me wrong, I know I should feel blessed and happy but at the same time I'm stressing out that I totally gypped my 2nd of being the baby for a little bit longer. I'm hoping once I settle from the shock I will feel differently.

I kinda understand where you're coming from on this one. We were trying for this baby and I am really excited but some days I'm like oh shit what did we do, are we really ready for this!? I know once baby comes along everything will be just fine but we will probably have a bit of an adjustment period for a while.
We were trying too,but I still kinda feel like we were nuts for even trying. I keep telling myself that once the baby is here, things will work themselves out, but I feel bad for not feeling attached at all (even though I've only known for a short amount of time).
Today was our first Kindermusik class after Christmas break and we skipped it. I just did not feel up to getting up and down off the floor, dancing, bouncing, skipping, etc.

Im uber excited about the baby but also in this sorta mourning thing about our quiet little life just the two os us. It is still just us but already different with MS and sciatica pain and exhaustion. No regrets but I know Ill treasure the time we had just us.
My FFFC: I usually really want sexy time but in the past month Ive only really wanted it once (when I woke up hubs in the middle of the night) but I pretend for hubby's sake and I sometimes blame the pregnancy when sometimes Im just not in the mood. Ugh... Hoping 2nd tri is better
I think I had sex three times during my whole pregnancy with DD. I hate pregnant sex.
I slept in until almost 11 this am. I guess I just needed the sleep? Either way I'm not telling H about it. lol
Also I've never given blood because I've been too chicken. In HS and college I'd always come up with excuses to not do it (like saying I'm anemic or that I have a thing with swimming/running the next day) I know i should really do it too because I'm AB+ and even though we're universal recipients,direct match is apparently better, and there's not many AB+ people out there.

I'm with you Cricket! I just can't! I pass out getting blood drawn, so doing it for an extended period of time is a big fat no. And I really should since I'm O-. Oh well. I don't feel bad for not wanting to pass out!

It is really not bad at all... No more than having your blood drawn. Ive done it dozens of times. Though I dont think doing so while pregnant is prob a good idea.
Oh I know! I'm just irrational about it. No clue why. I'm okay with shots... and kind of okay with getting blood drawn (as long as it's done quickly). Hahaha and the being pregnant is great because I have another excuse not to give I think I'll eventually do it... but it may be a while. lol
My first appt with my ob started with her in tears, and I don't feel sorry for it.
Backstory... She delivered my son 11 years ago when I was 16. She was rude to me the whole time I was pregnant. She would crack subtle jokes about my age and boyfriend. I would talk about future plans with him and she would scoff as if he were going to run off (he didn't, we've been married 10 years) fast forward to today, she's still the only damn ob that specializes in endocrinology and I have no choice but to see her. I let her know right off the bat she wasn't my first choice provider and how terrible of a person she was for belittling a pregnant teen. (I wasn't the first or the last teen mom) I also told her it didn't appreciate her fucking attitude and it wouldn't fly this time. Then I flipped my sweetheart switch back on, and in the nicest voice ever I told her "you remember my husband, the one who was supposed to leave me?" She cried actual tears & apologized and then suggested we "start over" Not a single shit was given for her tears.

Oh my...that happened to me last year! I thought I had a yeast infection (I sat thought because I'd literally had like one a bazillion years ago). My father in law is a doc and prescribed me Diflucan (um, thanks DH for telling your DAD about my yeast infection to begin with!!). Anyway, on my way home from dropping a friend off late one night, my stomach suddenly hurt...like air pockets/crampy/gurgle hurt! I was driving around 11pm in an area where NOTHIBG was open...saw an In n' Out but couldn't park cuz so crowded...so I tried to drive home again and while I was stuck at a light I had a total Maya Rudolph in Bridesmaids moment when she's in the wedding dress and just resigns to crapping in the street. Lmao I lifted my ass up off the leather seat so nothing would get on it but I was wearing THE tightest skinny jeans and they ended up acting as a water balloon...trapping everything! So I drove the last mile home, ass off seat, parked in the driveway & waddled upstairs. Had to stand in the damn bathtub to peel off my shitty jeans. Called my DH and was like WTF are the side effects for Diflucan!!!? Clearly I now know! TMI but but totally hilarious in retrospect!
I don't have any good shit my pants stories, but I peed my pants post partum multiple times. I tried kegels and I failed at doing them while pregnant. I still refuse to do them even knowing I should, they aren't fun.
