Random thread- for all things random.

I love this thread. Seriously i want my phone to jingle everytime someone writes.

I still havent told everyone (besides my boss who doesnt work at my store). Yesterday the front end manager (very full of himself but generally a good guy) was discussing a coworker and whether or not shes pregnant. (She is - Im the pharmacist and she was going over her meds and vitamins with me to see whats okay. But shes only 5 weeks and doesnt want anyone else to know, and I wont out her. She is, however, doing a shitty job of hiding it. She announced all these changes the other day, to her diet and what she can do around the store, and when asked directly just giggles and says no im not yet!) Anyway, so hes convinced she is because she cant hide anything and this is what he says to me -

I know Im a guy, but I just know when every girl here is on her period. I would know if anyone here was pregnant. I can just tell by how many times theyve gone to the bathroom and how they act.

WHAT??? So ridiculous and obnoxious! And if i hadnt promised my one coworker she could see everyones face when I told them, i would have been like oh so really? You know Ill be 17 weeks on Friday? Such a buttmonkey.

I guess this is the right place to post this:

I think I have my very first hemorrhoid, but I've never had one before, so I am not 100% sure. Especially considering I googled it, and literally scrolled through images to see if it matched mine. The google 'roids are HORRIFIC. Mine has been there for a couple weeks now - no bigger/no smaller. Ugh. Thankfully, it is small, and doesn't hurt and doesn't look like a blood blister or anything but, man, when things go downhill, they really go downhill.

Snissing, hemorrhoids, bloody noses. Oh yes, I am definitely feeling the pregnant glow.

Hemmies, man. They seriously suck.

But the Dos Equis guy IS always leaning to one side....

Yeah, sooo... those pro-lifers with the huge signs used to go outside my high school.. during drop off time, on both sides of the entrances. There's no way you could ride a bus to school and not see it. I think the sickest part of it is having small children hold a huge billboard of images like that.

Way back in high school a school security guard had to escort me inside because I went all ragey on people with those signs! And for the record, I'm Christian and pro-life, but I have absolutely zero respect or support for people who hold those signs (same thing with the "christians" who hold up the "you're all going to hell" type signs and scream at everyone).

I actually borrowed a paintball gun from a friend and was all loaded up for a drive-by of these fuckers before I thought it out and realized how much trouble I could get in. No fun for me

I don't think that front-shot belly pics count and I find them annoying.. Turn to the side. Thanks

In response to @Jbosarge85 and @LiteraChick (I'm having quote issues today):

A friend of mine posted that pro-life abortion video, too. It started playing and when I tried to stop it I just opened it bigger. I "hid" that friend and immediately started bawling. I thought I might throw up. Poor DH just kept patting my hair and saying, "It's OK... the baby is just fine... our baby is perfect." It was not a pretty morning.

I don't care how strong your opinion is on that issue, IMO it is never appropriate to post something like that where people can't avoid it (and I wish FB wouldn't just start the vidoes). At least post a "warning" or link it to your page so one could choose to go view it. Ruined my day. X_X

I'm sorry you girls had to experience this, too.

ETA: I'm apparently having word issues today, too.
I liked your post then realized I probably should explain. I like the bolded. I DON'T like that you had to see that.

Thanks for explaining, but I would've given you the benefit of the doubt on this one.

No one should have to see that..........

I took a 150mg dose of Diflucan last night for a YI. I'm convinced my child will now have a deformity

V1981 · February 2014

I just set the table for dinner and my son, for some god awful reason, went around and licked each plate. I only had one clean one left so I only changed mine! Omg I'm terrible.

Today I wandered over to the March 2014 board to see what's in the cards for the end of pregnancy. I was surprised at how many special snowflakes they had over there! I just assumed that they would be weeded out by then. And if our snowflakes think we're tough they clearly have never messed with women that are 35+ weeks pregnant.

I just went and checked it out too, and holy cow. Those girls are way meaner than our "meanies"!! ;-)

And also, if people here start daily postings about the status of their cervix and mucus plugs when the time comes, I swear I will go BSC all over the place. I think I threw up in my mouth a little just reading even the topics on the first page of that board. And I also really, really want to slap someone. Anyone.

cuntasaurusrex · February 2014

I've come to realize that I need to stop expecting myself to stay up until a "reasonable" hour. I was up until 11 last night and am now just flat exhausted. Tonight might be an 8:00'er.

K, kind of obsessed with their HDBD thread. I cannot believe I am going to look like that. I'm part excited and part terrified. How do they like.... walk around and get off the couch and roll out of bed?

With help

My coworker was so sweet and brought me oatmeal this morning (apparently they are tired of watching me eat instant. oh well). It was such a nice gesture, but she put bananas in it and I hate bananas. Also she put no sugar in it and I need sugar. So I had to choke it down because we eat breakfast together. As soon as it was time to get the kids I threw the remainder away in my room, but...it was difficult Bananas do not go in oatmeal! (Plus she put flax seed in there. I don't even know what that is!).

Hell no, replace that shit with peanut butter!

I prefer brown sugar or honey. And raisins, and maybe walnuts. Mmmm yeah definitely making my own oatmeal from now on.

Girls, the best way to eat oatmeal is to stir in about a tablespoon of Nutella and 4-5 sliced or quartered strawberries. It's sweet but not too sweet and utterly amazing.

Yea...i can barely get out of bed now. It's probably really funny to watch me try to disentangle myself from the snoogle and get up.

Soon2BMrsN · February 2014

SS: our a/s is finally scheduled! It is the only u/s I get this pregnancy and we are dying to see the baby! It's Tuesday - only six days away!!!!

Lola825 · February 2014

I got in a car accident Monday. A stupid woman not paying any attention pulled out of a gas station into oncoming traffic and I couldn't stop and slammed into her. I'm fine, my passengers are fine and baby is totally fine.

What I'm upset about is my car is damaged. I have a hole in my formerly perfect bumper, my hood is dented and my headlight is busted. I cried when I saw the damage. I know I have to go through the claim process but I want it fixed like yesterday.

I will add that the addition of the babies to the HDBD board is adorable and amazing. We have to do that!

I just went back to look at that... SO CUTE! I want to hold ALL THE BABIES!!! I've had a borderline creepy urge to hold all babies since I've been pregnant. Like when I'm out in public at a restaurant and I see complete strangers with a baby, I have to fight the urge to ask if I can hold it. I don't know anybody locally with a baby that I can hold to get a baby fix!

jensavicci · February 2014

So DW was just napping on the couch. Well, my 11 month old just walked over to her while she was sleeping and slapped the shit out of her face and gave her a "wake the eff up" look. It took me a good 20 minutes to reprimand him because I couldn't stop laughing.The look on DW's face when she woke up...priceless.

So basically, my son is a boss and he knows it.

Lola825 · February 2014

I love this thread, I wish I had been on earlier! I have another one. At my regular checkup appointment today the nurse was using the Doppler. She found the heartbeat immediately and the baby then proceeded to kick the Doppler so hard she could feel it and it startled her! It was my first real kick and it was so awesome!!

h2olawrence · February 2014

i'm really just a lurker because i can't get on here that often, but i love this thread!

and because DH wouldn't laugh enough with me, i have to share that at my appointment yesterday, a random older lady came in with the doc-- he introduced her by name, but didn't give details, NBD. she did the Doppler... and found my heartbeat... and smiled and cleaned me up. it was so hard not to grab the thing and show her what she was really looking for!!

I like that their special snowflakes have some balls at least. Also, I feel like @bandteacher and I need to be best friends.

And yeah...I love you girls and all, but I agree with @TallMomma29. Keep your mucus plugs to yourselves!

TallMomma29 · February 2014

What do they put in regular baby carrots that make them taste edible? I bought organic baby carrots this time and they taste like I'm eating dirty sticks out of the ground. BLEH.

For some reason I'm starving just 2 hours after eating a big dinner, and I told myself if I eat a bowl of baby carrots I can follow it with a bowl of ice cream. I like to keep the food groups balanced around here! ;-)

ETA: Screw it. I fed the dirt carrots to the dogs (they liked them for some reason) and busted out the ice cream. Life is too short. ;-)

1.My husband is muttering in his sleep next to me. He is bilingual.Sometimes he speaks a mix of Hungarian and English. Whatever just came out of his mouth was neither.
I said "I don't know if that was even a language you just spoke?"
his reply " It was octagon technical."
And rolled over.
Aaallrrighty then!

2. I have not pooped since Sunday. I specifically got skyline chili for dinner to solve this issue. Mission accomplished!

Also I love this board!

I read this as YOU went around and licked the plates, and I couldn't figure out why you would do that!

Also I'm loving this thread.

Ha! I did the same thing. I was thinking, why would she DO that?!?

That's EXACTLY what I thought it said, and I was about to comment on the world's worst case of baby brain. Glad it's not just me!

Made DH stop at trader joes on the way home under the pretense of "dinner." Now I have cookie butter, sparkling pink lemonade and a bucket of cookies. He has good beer. We are all happy here.

My third graders (who are usually WONDERFUL) decided today that Math was optional. So as I worked through the lesson with them, every question I asked, I got 30 blank stares. Like scary zombie stares. I don't know where my darling and enthusiastic class went, but I would like them back....because I was so close to going ape-shit-psycho-pregnant-lady on them today, and I'm pretty sure that's not ok.

Long day.

@missquela - I am OBSESSED with pink lemonade these day! My ravenous cravings have died down a bit, but that one is still going strong. I suspect it's due to my carrying a boy, what are you having?

@LiteraChick, I want lemonade all the time too! (Another thing that made me doubt my intuition about carrying a girl). It seems like everyone I know that craved these things had a boy! I guess my girl is already rebelling against "gender roles"! ;-)

Hubs works outside and I went out w/him to clean off the car this morning but it's already up to my knees & there was no chance of him making it out of our parking lot...so his ever helpful job came and picked him up. I'm going to wind up worring all day over whether he's warm/dry/safe.

Ugh. My husband always has to go in when there's bad weather even though there's no real need for him to. It makes me so nervous to have him out driving.
