@Poru, besides the usual "babe," I call Ryan "RyGuy" (original, I know), and he calls me "squirt."

chichi589 · February 2014

@Poru I am generic I stick to babe or sweets. He calls me princess or gorgeous or smiley lol my DD will call him babe sometimes, it's super funny although I try to be more conscious of when I'm saying it lol

GTKY: What are you and your SO's main nicknames for each other?

DH calls me either bug or siller. I call him monks.

My DH is really weird. He calls me "Lonnie" because he thinks it's a funny name. Or he'll call me another weird female name that he thinks is hilarious. Like, "Sally."

He calls me "babe" when he has to ask me something.

We're definitely not the mushy gushy pet name type.

Also, I'm upset that the original post was DDed.

ETA: Oh, I saw the links were provided. Woooooo.

Tferr02 · February 2014

My DH and I don't really have nicknames, it's either mommy or daddy because our son is around or just our names. When we are fake annoyed with each other he calls me Nicole so I call him Philip (our middle names)

Miss504NOLA · February 2014

Besides the usual nicknames, he calls me Panda. I call him Dimples.

I'm refraining from putting the "lawyered" Gif from HIMYM on the tackiest thread in reference to my own comment

SoulTermination · February 2014

I think LO will grow up thinking "Honey" is daddy's name, since I tend to call him that the most often. I usually only use his name when "honey" doesn't work and I need to get his attention for something. Or I'll call him "Joshy" and he calls me "Stephy".

When we first met, he used to call me "Little Ninja" because we met on World of Warcraft (I know, I know :P) and my main character at that time was a rogue. I called him "Captain" because his paladin was named after Captain Okita of the Shinsengumi. XD /dork

deidremaria · February 2014

@Poru so we normally say babe or refer to eachother by name. I call him by his first and last name. Weird, I know. But to be honest he makes up a new name for me everyday. I mean a new first name. Sometimes I'm Rachel, other times I'm Claire and he even created a name; Crystobell

My handwriting is getting worse with each thank you I write. Probably should call it quits and let those who didn't get one know " sorry my handwriting looked shitty, I figured I would save you the hassle of reading my horrible writing. No thank you for you!" I kid I kid

So it's totally a Midwestern thing, but I have no shame in admitting I just went grocery shopping without a coat in 15 degree weather. In a short sleeve tshirt. These old ladies kept commenting on how cold I must be, but seriously it felt amazing and brisk! Plus, it doesn't hurt that my hormones are making my body feel like a heater lately.

So refreshing!!!

Ladies-I need your help.

My close friend was due exactly 4 months after me and just went in for her 12 week ultrasound. She was SO excited, this was her first. She just called me saying the baby stopped growing at 8 weeks and there's no heartbeat. She sounds devastated. (She had no bleeding or any signs that anything was wrong.)

I've never known anyone personally who has dealt with a miscarriage. Any advice as to how I can be there for her? We were so excited to watch our kids grow up together and were making jokes that they'd have 'built in best friends'. How do I even talk to her about my pregnancy now? I don't want to be insensitive to her feelings. Any input would be appreciated. I feel awful.

I'm so sorry for your friend. If you guys live close enough you should go see her. Maybe bring her favorite comfort food. Let her know you're there for her. Don't bring up your pregnancy unless she does. That's how I'd handle it

I second what @deidremaria said. Let her know you're there for her in any way she needs, even if what she needs most is space.

Just sending a card or making food can mean the world. Hell just acknowledging her loss can mean a lot. I wouldn't go over unless she says it's ok as baby bellies hurt so much to see.

I was a blood elf Mage, no big deal.

RocksInTheWater · February 2014

@dani+california I am so sorry for your friend. It is hard knowing what to do/say. One of my closest childhood friends and I were both pregnant at the same time last year. When I had my m/c she sent me the sweetest care package. It had a cute stuffed dog, a bracelet and come of my favorite snacks. It meant so much. She lives in CO and I'm in MN so I never did see her pregnant. It was hard following her pregnancy when mine had ended but that is normal. Just let your friend know you are thinking about her.

@fourthnlast I am thinking of you and hoping for a great NST on Friday.

Baby Pabst is grounded.

Went in for the NST this morning and I was expecting it to go like the last 2 have and I would be out of there by 10. Wrong. Her heart rate was 175-180 and wouldn't go down. They had me do the NST for about 2 hours, trying IV fluids, me drinking water and it would go down a little and then go right back up. Then they did a bio-physical profile, before they started, they said passing is 10-20 points, under 10, you get admitted. She got a 10.8.

The game plan now is literally one day at a time, obviously keeping me pregnant as long as possible is ideal, but there may be a point soon where they have to decide if keeping her in is healthier than delivery and NICU.

I have never been in this situation before, I'm totally freaking out and crying and realizing my house is out of fucking control. We would have been FUCKED if I was admitted today. There is no clean laundry, there were no groceries and I had no back up plans for kid pick up for schools.

The next NST is set for Friday morning, please send thoughts, prayers, juujuu, whatever that today was just a fluke and everything goes well on Friday. In the meantime, I need to have my hospital bag packed and with me on Friday (OB's orders for every NST and appt from now on) and have everything squared away with childcare.

This is rude of me, but your last name is Pabst?! The college girl in me is SO envious and is praying for a relation.... ?

To the more important subject matter: Good thoughts, prayers and juju coming your way. I am really sorry to hear this. So, does that mean you go in every week for NST? Is there anything you can do like bed rest in the mean time?

Ha. Yes

Not sure if there is any "true" relation or not, if there is, we don't get royalties. I'm currently set for NST's twice a week. I'm not sure if bed rest is on the horizon or not, we'll know more on Friday.

This image is what I always imagine when one of our RTT gals is struggling, especially those whose babies keep threatening to come early. So much love on this board and so many good thoughts go out to those that need some hugs and puppies and rainbows.

So much this!! Big noncreepy internet hugs, @fourthnlast! STAY PUT BABY PABST!

fourthnlast lots of good thoughts coming your way. It's like the rainbow fucking stare from over here, carebear cousins and all. Hang in there!!!

LOL! Thank you for putting a smile on my face this afternoon!!!

ColleenSwerb said:

@fourthnlast - big hugs and lots of prayers! Take some deep breaths, get DH to help with the groceries and housework, and square away the childcare situation with a few phone calls. It'll be ok! @mrsstanton - personally I think you're overreacting a smidge. Hopefully your mom will take you seriously and open the window and not smoke in her bathroom anymore. But otherwise I think it's fine for just 2 more days.

Thank you. I called my Mom sobbing, she brought over a car full of groceries, did some laundry and put me to bed. I love mommy

@fourthnlast Hoping everything works out for the best! Big hugs and stay calm for little one! The chores and groceries will get done (and if they don't, the kids can eat pizza and wear dirty socks )- focus on you and baby

On the bright side, we all have clean underwear

Oh honey I'm so sorry about your friend's loss.

I have no advice, other than the typical "don't talk about it unless she brings it up first" kind of stuff, and just be there for her as a shoulder to cry on if she needs one. Big hugs to you, and to her.

katieharpiceland · February 2014

@poru We have a few. Lots of baby/baby, also lovehead for some reason. I also often call him by his last name because its SO fun to say with a Danish accent.

Yay! My super sweet all-terrain stroller made it to the shopusa in America. (Its a company that gives you a mailbox to send stuff too in America) So, now it goes on a boat to me! YAY! I've made my friends a little jealous. It cost less than a used one of the Icelandic equivalent of craigslist. :-D

I call my DH Chicken. I don't remember why this started either! Strange! He calls me face. Yeah, we are weird.

On another note: I know DH feels guilty about me falling because I tripped over his shoes that he left in the garage because he sent me a text asking if I need sugar (AKA cake or ice cream) to make sure little girl is moving around in there.

You said yes, right??

jennypenny1014 · February 2014

Yep, this is happening right now. It's ok if you're jealous; I would be too...It's a damn delicious cake!

On a side note: DS keeps yelling "Appy buhdaaaaay!" and pretending to blow out candles everytime he sees the cake on the counter. SO. FRICKIN. ADORABLE.

On an otherside note: we (DS and I) just ate that delectable slice of heaven like it was our job. The chocolate on the face says it all.

I'm really tired of seeing the article about the giraffe on my facebook news feed. I had giraffes in my dreams last night. And Howard Stern.

I can't believe it took them this long to think of us. Deciding to leave the crusts on or off finger sandwiches must have kept them busy today.

deidremaria · February 2014

FUCK MY ENTIRE LIFE RIGHT NOW! My radiator cap fell uo while I was driving to class so my car started to over heat. I stuck a rag in the spot where it should be and rush to the nearest car parts place to buy one along with a bottle of coolant. On my way to class from car parts place my car is getting hot and I can hear the coolant in radiator bubbling so I pull into the parking lot at our armery. Here I am sitting in their parking lot with my hood open when I should be sitting in class.
