I have been in a minor panic attack for like a day or 2. Somebody posted (I think in this thread) about losses on the March board and I seriously cannot even imagine. I know my depression makes me more prone to dwell on the negatives. I just can't get the thought out of my head and its damn near debilitating. After everything in this pregnancy I just don't know if I could handle anything happening. I sadly have been avoiding certain threads that I know have super bad news or contain certain fears of mine that i know i would dwell on because I know my mental health can't take it. Apparently the emotional aspects of pregnancy started super strong in the last week or so and this is playing in that. I think I need a vacation. Sorry, i went all super Debbie Downer.

*hugs* I know what you mean.. I started looking around at boards +/- 3 months of February and got super freaked at all of the losses too, and I've had to just stay away from the boards. It sounds like it may have affected you more deeply.. but try to remember that while yes, loss is a potentiality, the overwhelming probability is that you and your LO are both going to come out on the other end okay. I hope you start to feel better soon

My daughter is two today. TWO. How did that happen?!

Also, I went home sick yesterday and I should have just stayed home today. I do not feel better, but I don't want to be that person who leaves halfway through the day two days in a row.

Off to find Crossfire! Thanks @Zarkarella ! 50 shades did wonders for us, so this should be good.

My two BFFs and I have a smutty book club. Basically we read these trashy sex novels and then get together for dinner and drinks (well, they drink) and talk about the books and how feasible some of it is. It's fun. I have a couple other series if you are interested... but Crossfire is a lot like 50 shades with the romance/over the top relationship aspect.

runrinserepeat · February 2014

Oh, another random. DD kissed my belly yesterday and it was about the cutest thing ever.

tourqeyes · February 2014

Why do people particularly drive like maniacs on the way into work? I must not like my job as much as the rest of them.

tourqeyes · February 2014

It really bothers me that my DH will not eat his pizza crusts. How old are you?

ETA: AND I feel like it's a waste of food.

What are they? I read the 50 shades series twice when I was pregnant with DS and I'm looking for some new smut to read this time.

Our crusts go to our dog. Not happy about it, but at some point a meal in peace is worth it... I'm still pissed my parents taught our dog that habit.

RIght now I am reading the "Masters of Shadowlands" series. It is about a BDSM club, so it is a little more heavy than the other two. But, still fun. Then, after that one I am going to start the "Rescue Me" Series and then possibly the "This Man" series.

Crusts are a waste of room in my stomach that could be filled with more delicious actual pizza.

You know what I just realized? Being a STM with a 6 year old who is doing pretty well in life, people leave me the hell alone with the advice. No more opinions forced on me, etc. It's a really nice change of pace from my first pregnancy. It's like they realized that I didn't kill my first and he is doing okay, MAYBE just MAYBE I know what I am doing. So, FTM's, keep your head up and try and ignore all the opinions being shoved at you and do your research and what feels right. I remember how demeaning and discouraging some of it could be. But seriously, you got this.

Lola825 · February 2014

It's 40 degrees here today, and it's not even 10am. If we didnt have 3+ feet of snow on the pool patio I'd be laying out in my bikini in this heat wave.

beff12 · February 2014

I just walked in to the workroom and the vending machine man has been in and out restocking things. He happened to be out at the moment, but had left the door wide open. It was like heaven. All of the hugely disgusting sticky buns and Reese's cups you could ask for. I obviously didn't steal anything because that's not my style, but ah...it was beautiful.

bchildrn · February 2014

Last night I really wanted to punch DH in the face. Outside of the random cravings I haven't had much of an appetite. We forgot to take something out of the freezer for dinner before work so when we got home he asked what I wanted and I told him I'd be fone with soup and that he had a frozen pizza in the freezer he had bought and never eaten. Apparently that didn't suffice for him and he spent the next hour asking me what I wanted to do for dinner. So we ended up ordering because he wouldn't shut up and I spent the rest of the night feeling like crap because the food didn't agree with me and my reflux and nausea problems

AutumnBonfire · February 2014

I have a dilemma. I was so excited to go out and get Taco Bell when they opened (now down to 15 minutes), but my supervisor just stopped by and asked me if I ate yet and I said yes. Which is true, I've been eating since I got here. She wanted to have lunch. I do not want to have lunch with her, so I lied. I just want to sit at my desk, Bump, and enjoy my food. Now how do possibly go out to get food and come back and eat it? She has a window to the parking lot where my car is parked front and center and there is a window in my office that she can see in if she walks by.

@zarkarella - who is the author on the Crossfire series you are talking about? I found two series that look to be a possibility of what you are describing. On second thought, maybe I should just read all six….

Sylvia Day. There are two more books coming, so if you prefer instant gratification, you might want to put them on the back burner. But, there was no big cliff hanger at the end of three so I don't mind waiting.

My appointment was just schedule with the a perinatologist for March 7th for a high resolution ultrasound to check the fluid in my baby boy's kidneys. I know it is not an uncommon or high risk complication, but I am still so nervous that they are going to tell me it's gotten worse or something. And I have a whole two weeks to be nervous about it. :-S

((hugs)) hope the time passes quickly and you get good news in two weeks.

alyssa719 · February 2014

I've been told repeatedly that because of gastric bypass, my insides may shift more to the "sides" than up to crush my lungs as v2 continues to grow. I'm terrified that this means I'm not going to get a real bump front to back, but from side to side. Also, I know this is ridiculous... I hope.

[Deleted User] · February 2014

It only took over 3 years but DS finally repeated "fuck" after I said it. I had to put myself in time-out.

How far along are you right now? I just started for sure feeling movement on Sunday.

I am 17w so on the early end, plus an anterior placenta

Does anyone have a man midwife? Are they still called midwives? Is this even a thing?

No I don't have one, but I'd love to have a midhusband which is what I think they should be called.

@ marathonmom823
I'm effin' sick of winter. It was -16F this morning, again. I just want it to be in the 30's!

My IL's are coming on Friday to spend the weekend, which will be nice. Unfortunately we can't use them for babysitting purposes so DH and I can go out for dinner bc FIL is a heavy drinker and MIL won't drive. I can't risk having something happen to DS and them not being able to take him to the ER. (I know- paranoid).

I'm wildly jealous of those of you who have a TJ's close by. I really want to try that cookie butter, but I'm pretty sure I'd have to drive at least 3hrs...

You can get it on amazon. I had to do this once when my one and only tj was out. I was obsessed. Don't judge me. ☺️

bchildrn · February 2014

Ya know what's really annoying? When people ask how far along I am and then follow it with "ohhhh you've still a loooonnngggg way to go" thank you. Thank you very much as if I didn't know that. You're encouragement, especially on a day where I don't feel good at all is really appreciated.

One of the midwives at my practice is a man. They do not call him a midhusband. I'm pretty sure he's still just a midwife.

helloblueeyes · February 2014

Thank you @ghostof5latters @aliletz

@mrscurlygurl Please do not let me keep you from bitching about GD. It's really nice to know that i am not alone in the difficulties. It sucks regardless.

@2ag I'm sorry. I didn't want to call you out or make you feel bad. That totally was not my intent.

I think a big part of it all is that at my first high risk appt, my doc told me i was at "an increased risk of spontaneous fetal demise." Which i get why i need to be informed of the fact that i have a higher chance of really bad complications, but i really don't think that was the best thing to say or the best way to say it to a FTM at like 13 weeks, just when i had started to breath a little easier. Also because of the anterior placenta i still can't feel anything and it's just adding to all my paranoia.

My a/s is one week from today and i'm seriously hoping it will help to calm me a bit. I think i'm one of the few people who will actually be less anxious and filled with worry once the kid is actually born.

Salsera29 · February 2014

I should probably save this for tomorrow, but whatever. I am so over teaching little kids. The novelty of singing "The Wheels on the Bus" with 30 five-year-olds has completely worn off. Our kindergarten classes are huge, and consequently the kids haven't learned how to act in kindergarten. So it's more like trying to wrangle PK kids. 30 of them. And the first graders aren't much better either. My time as a K-5 general music teacher may be coming to an end. I just don't have the patience for baby nonsense anymore.

My son wants to name the new baby Cowabunga Congo.

MrsWallick · February 2014

What do you think it feels like for baby when I sneeze? I had a sneezing fit today and I wonder if she's in there thinking "cut that shit out mom!" or if she can even feel it at all.

tourqeyes · February 2014

I look forward to this baby getting hiccups. Too cute.

justgery · February 2014

So I just ate 1+lbs of candy and my logic is that I'm drinking a gallon of water to make my brain think it's ok.

Ps. I didn't mean to reply to anyone's post with this just add another. Idk what I'm doing.

I was excited to SEE my baby kicking last night. I felt some big kicks so I lifted up my shirt to watch my stomach move.

Me too! DD had them all the time and I have a video of her hicupping and it being recorded on the contraction monitor at one point when I was in preterm labor! So sweet! She still gets them all the time.

Great now I can't help thinking what it must feel like for the baby when I have an orgasm.... Though that thought might just make it never happen again X(

I cannot believe you have that many kids in a kindergarten class!! That is nuts! My son has 17 kids in his.
