My SS moment: I'm 20 weeks and can still fit my regular jeans.
I also am doing my laundry- feels like we are always washing something, but it is typically always for DS. This time it's my clothes (I feel so special).

Hubby is putting DS down for a nap. I might nap as well, just because I can.

What?!

@natalie78w happy birthday!

I cannot get full enough. I eat and I eat and I eat and still I'm hungry. I increased my protein I eat smaller portions constantly throughout the day. Still I feel empty. At my doctors appointment on Thursday my doctor said "oh good you had your growth spurt." So I bought Girl Scout cookies and I'm currently trying to see how many caramel delights I can eat before I get full.

I just snissed. On our bed. And I'm not fessing up to DH. X_X

Blame the dog! If no dog, blame the small child! (sorry small child)

I love to eat and I love to cook for people. Even better, I love to cook breakfast for people. I made sour cream-soda biscuits and sausage gravy this morning and I've already T-rexed one pan of the biscuits by myself (that's why I made two). And then I got into the cookies when no one was looking...my best friend brought these for me and DH. I've had 5...I too cannot stop eating. I'm hungry every hour. I need to find a Gif of a mama T-Rex.

SS: DH and I went to Panera for lunch, and I got half a turkey sandwich, broccoli cheddar soup, and apple. Best freaking sandwich I've had since September, mmmm deli meat!

I am super psyched that it is February because that means it is almost time for the shamrock shake!

We have our hospital tour today and I'm super pumped. I know it's early, but I wanted to go ahead and do it before any choices are final. And because I really like to plan.
We did our hospital tour last month! I think people were side eying my small bump. We have few weekends available to get classes/tours in & I'm supposed to plan like I'll have to go on bed rest. Have fun on your tour! It made it all the more real for my SO, too.
So, I knew this hospital was enormous. It's a mega research hospital at the mega big university I work at. But even with navigating the medical campus for a few years now, it took is 40 minutes to find the right place after parking. My rural parents will never be able to figure this out. They're terrified of all things urban. So now I'm trying to figure out if we could have some friends drive them here from our house or something.
That's a good idea. Have someone take them over. Or, could you take them beforehand? Any chance they'll be in town prior to the big event?

--

I doubt one visit would do much good. My parents complain if they don't get one of the first five parking spots at Walmart in their small town. The hospital is big enough to have 5 different garages. I think having someone bring them would be best.

AW / SS moment: BF just felt baby move for the first time :x

colllydon · February 2014

I'm going to add an UO to this. I think that regulars are allowed to SS it up once and a while. I don't think it should be done all the time though. I mean, if they do it all the time it does the same thing as the randoms, it clogs up the news feed with things that could have just been searched for. Especially since we now have this wonderful new SS thread.

Are we making this a weekly thing?? I like that idea...

Well I was kind of hoping so!

jshrop · February 2014

@Joules235- I love that little Lego girl too! I wanna be like "Rock on sista!"
@natalie78w- happy birthday girl!

jshrop · February 2014

I second @Read247! Let's make it weekly

JNerd · February 2014

I'm getting really anxious about telling work. I'm on probation until Feb 10th and (for a variety of reasons) decided not to say anything about my pregnancy until after probation.
I have to hide my bump and pretend that I'm just getting fat.
After all this time I'm really anxious about what the reaction will be when I do tell my boss.

Read247 · February 2014

It was @colllydon who suggested it, but I second that idea. Weekly SS/AW post for everyone! Yay!

@natalie78w - happy birthday!!!

@jshrop - every time I see Jessica Simpson making out with that ice cream cone I throw up in my mouth a little.

@nutmegs8 - you look like Norelle from America's Next Top Model in your siggy pic!

roundthree24 · February 2014

I love this thread! Gives me a place to put my two SS moments that don't deserve their own discussion:

1. The baby was moving so much last night that I could see it kicking through my sweater! That was cool to see.

2. I had my first stranger notice (and then touch) my bump! I know it's going to get old fast but I was so surprised and impressed that she could tell it wasn't just a big meal that I didn't even mind the personal space violation.

JulieSmiles · February 2014

What is it when you cough and piss yourself, because I just did that. Damn.

Missib55 · February 2014

My SS: At dinner we were talking names again, we keep going back and forth but DH said that's it! I call it official her name is Luella Rose! His grandmas names are Luella & MaryLou and my grandma and my middle name is Rose. It feels nice to know I can call her something other then "girly"

chloephoebecali · February 2014

Two things: I think it is sad that everyone feels the need to apologize for having a SS moment/post. Yeah, some of them are dumb and should go in their right place - appointment or symptom posts, etc, I think if the post is lame or redundant it can and will die on its own. Maybe one or two people will respond, but most people know better and won't respond. It just feels sad that people are so apologetic if they have a legitimate question or a moment that deserves some attention. Secondly, I feel very sad much like everyone on the board over the recent losses. But honestly, for all my years on these boards (3rd kid), I've never seen so much. Do ask your ob about the percentage risk of miscarrying at this point. It absolutely can and has happened, but I've never witnessed it as much as I have on this board. Please love your baby and pregnancy today, but try not to be too anxious about the possibilities. Easier said than done, but what I've seen here is nothing I've seen before. There will always some sort of anxiety/concern when having a kid. It will never end, but you take it one day at a time and be glad for it.

QFP

I don't think people have to apologize. They are usually are responded to and directed to the appropriate place for next time. This thread for instance. Once again, it's about people getting and giving support. If you don't give you don't get. Also, it's a community so to make everything on the first page about you and your problems is a little excessive.

JmeJoLee83 · February 2014

We finally picked a name for our little boy!! Colton Jerome!! And just because this is a SS thread--I love pizza!! And just ate half a large!!

roundthree24 · February 2014

Random thought:

Does anybody get grossed out that vernix caseosa means "varnish of cheese?"

Sorry to interrupt the cookie discussion. Carry on. Possibly with less of an appetite...

That explains why my son looked like a giant ball of mozzarella.... I nicknamed him Butterball because he looked like a giant white flailing turkey.

No food talk from me: How is it possible for Bruno Mars to be so unbelievably amazing? I mean, one human should not have that much talent.

Ashes92813 · February 2014

Yessss! Bruno Mars can sing me to sleep every night. And boy can he dance! His whole band can

all flushed and blushed over here in Ohio. $:\$ ">

Ashes92813 · February 2014

@luvthoselions, yesssss! You read my mind. I think Bruno and RHCP made it work!!! I love them both. Anthony Keidis totally looks like Justin long with his short hair and weird stash.

I want a big stack of chocolate chip cookies and a huge glass of milk to dunk them in and wash them down with. I blame joules for talking about making cc cookies in the snack thread.

I, too, want cookies and milk. All I have is lemon oreos though, and I don't think they go with milk very well... and my headache makes me want to puke anyway.
But cookies and milk would be amazing, maybe with a blanket and good sad movie. (Instead I am eating/Drinking nothing, and trying to watch the super bowl.
Lemon Oreos sound horrible!

Lemon and chocolate sounds awful. Lemon sandwich cookies, however, sound amazing. I want those.

jmar2011 said:

@curlylocks3 that's basically what the lemon oreos are, lemon sandwich cookies, no chocolate! Lol!

Is the cookie not chocolate?

katekat8721 · February 2014

Seriously 36 to 0, this is ridiculous. Thank god for there being Doritos here, the night is not a total waste.

I would guess vanilla

This is clearly a matter of utmost importance.

Me too! I did love 2001 with Britney, Nsync, Run DMC and Aerosmith too

@Ashes92813 he really does look like Justin Long! He is also someone who is aging very nicely. That was by far my favorite halftime show.
