I hate using public bathrooms when people I know are in there (like at work or out with friends). If I go into the bathroom and someone I know/work with is in there, I will pretend I just had to wash my hands, walk out and come back later. Completely irrational but I have been like this since middle school!

I'm a nurse in a nicu and a couple of times I have kissed someone else's baby on the head. Eek
DS was in the NICU for a little bit because he was a preemie. Your confession actually makes me smile just thinking about it! Recovering from an emergency csection, I couldn't be by his side as much as I wanted to. Knowing how much you care brightens my day! I'm sure all the parents who have babies in the hospital would appreciate knowing someone cares that much!
Actually my reaction wasn't like that at all. I appreciate the nurses and love that they care but that's not appropriate. A common cold could be deadly. Bodily fluids should not be in contact with my kid.
Your babies face dragging along the inside of your vagina would to do a LOT more harm than a peck on the head.
Explain, please.
A peck on the head isn't going to hurt a baby.
I had an emergency section.
That's it. I'm out. I'm not over my NICU time. You don't understand not knowing if your baby will live
Wtf? No one said anything about that, you were being a little dramatic with the kiss comment. I'm sure a NICU nurse knows when a baby is in too fragile of condition to kiss it. Again they're not idiots.
I'm a nurse in a nicu and a couple of times I have kissed someone else's baby on the head. Eek
I you....
I had a 26 weeker and his NICU nurse would do the same thing. It just made me so happy to know that when I could not be at the hospital, she was there to watch over my little guy.....
My confession is I secretly sneak $1's and sometimes $5's out of H's money jar and I put it into your kids piggy bank. He only uses cash and always put any extra in this jar on our dresser. I am pretty sure he know's I do it but he doesn't say anything since it for the kids. When the piggy banks are full we take the money to the bank and deposit it into their joint account. Then I let them get one special toy from Wolly World.... (but I mainly pay for that).
Have a dr appointment today and she think DH and i have been trying for about 7-8 months when it has only been 3.
Heard how many issues others had with getting a referral from you dr and wishing you had told them you had been trying longer.
EtA: posted too soon
I'm benched this cycle because I need a consult with my RE before moving forward and by the time she's able to get to me it'll be too late for me to try in March. It chaps my ass to think some impatient little twit is monopolizing my doctor's time, delaying my chance to conceive by another month.
Please think about that next time you lie to your doctor.
This.
I was benched for nearly 12 months. Knowing that some of the ladies in line before me were simply wasting the docs time because they lied is infuriating.
I'm sitting at my RE now just got blood drawn, waiting on another ultrasound. I've been giving myself shots every night and will start getting 2 shots a night soon. Then I get to shove pills up my vag for 2 weeks and have a white period.
I can totally see why you would lie to your dr about how long you are trying, this is so much fucking fun!

That sucks! Are you close to Louisville, KY? The RE's affiliated with UofL never had long wait times for appointments, and they are really good.

I hate chicken wings. All the skin and gristle and bones just weirds me out. But I love the sauce that collects in the bottom of the bowl/plate that is mixed with the grease. I wish I liked the wings so I could have more of that sauce.
(I do eat boneless wings, but the sauce is not as delicious when not mixed with the fatty grease.)

Ugh, I hate the suppositories. That's the one good thing about being benched - I get a break from leaking progesterone.

Or the Ganirelix that won't fucking go through your skin so you have to jam it in there. Then the swelling that comes with the HCG (I guess I have a reaction) and you can't touch your stomach for days because of the pain YET you are suppose to have sex.
@meatandbandp I got lucky this month I got a cd4 us and my period ends the heavy stuff cd2 but last month made up I was full force cd1 I made a mess.

Don't forget your CD3 ultrasound, that's my favorite part of this whole process. I love to have a dildo cam shoved up my vag while I have my period. Not humiliating at all. It's extra special when my hot doctor is the one who has the pleasure.
Yes - especially when CD3 is on the weekend, so you get the super special weekend tech who tries to shove the thing sideways. Oh, and that moment when you almost jump off the bed because you have a cramp while she's poking around like she's going to literally spear your ovaries with the wand. Good times.
I like Katy Perry's song "Dark Horse", but I change it every time before the line "she'll eat your heart out like Jeffrey Dahmer". It just grosses me out too much.

I personally love having to continue stabbing myself in my bruised and bloated stomach which already hurts and looks, and feels, like a pin cushion. But honestly, there's nothing as awesome, or as sexy, as a leaky vag from suppositories. Oh the joys! Why anyone wouldn't want to do this is beyond me.
The women in my office are doing a one day juice cleanse today. The men just ordered burgers AND POUTINE and are sitting in the conference room getting ready to watch USA hockey on the big screen. I'm sitting at my desk with my kale juice hating everyone!
On the way home from my doctor appointment where I found out I had a miscarriage...I stopped and got a 12 pack of bud light and a pack of cigarettes. It actually made me feel a little bit better for a while.
I bought wine & seriously considered the cigarettes. I ended up smoking the e-cigarette again.
I have a half day today and H is out of town. I fully intend to get something from the drive though on my way home and not leave the house (and possibly the couch) the rest of the day!
This is exactly how I wish I could spend my Friday afternoon.
Okay. That doesn't look good me. I'm glad I'm not missing out. Soggy fries are just unacceptable.
@EnglandXO - I'd bet money on the Philly Cheesesteak poutine being awful! Come to Philly. I get you real sammich.
I'll take your word for it. I have yet to find a Philly Cheesesteak, in any form, that I enjoy. I'll eat them, but I don't enjoy them.
Because they are SO BAD in other places! I just don't order them outside of Philly because many restaurants don't know wtf they are doing.
I'll also get ya a soft pretzel out of some guy's van. Philly keeps it real.
I have to ask, where is your preferred place to get a cheesesteak in Philly? I've only tried Pats, Genos and Tony Lukes (at the airport no less, but it was still amazeballs). Oh and some place at Reading Terminal Market that isn't there anymore, I can't remember the name.

@Joy2611 - Where's your favorite place to get a philly cheesesteak? I've never been, but H and his bff are hardcore cheesesteak fans and argue regularly over who has the best. H likes Tony Luke's and his friend praises Pat's. Poor Geno's gets no love from either.

It might have been a good thing I started crying because the guy that was smoking was about to tell me his wife was 7 weeks pregnant. It wouldn't have been pretty because I was shit faced.

We just had this conversation at work!
I'm not looking for much in a sandwich. Long roll. Shredded thin steak. REAL american cheese that is melted all over and cooked with the meat. As long as they do that, I'm good. Tony Luke's okay - my husband had one at a Phillies game once that I helped myself to.
I've been to Geno's. God help me, but I hated it. Cheese Whiz is horrific. It was only later that my husband said I could get one with real cheese.
As we've tried a sandwich at each place we've gotten it with Whiz to keep the comparison consistent. But I prefer american cheese and DH prefers provolone. It's funny because DH and I both liked the roll at Geno's better but preferred the meat and cheese from Pat's.

I haven't done laundry in over a week. We're moving tomorrow, all of our extra clothes are packed. With that being said, I went without panties yesterday.
Also, I know this isn't the place for it, but I know it will be seen. I bought a new computer yesterday, just a cheapie as mine died unexpectedly, now I can't bump from the computer. Idk if its the bump or my computer, it keeps telling me a body is required. Anyone know what's up?
Stuck in the box and haven't read anyone else post about this yet, but are you using IE? My IE suddenly started not letting me post and saying 'body was required.' There are two ways to deal. The lazy way is if you hit the box with <> in it, you can type and post from there but can't format. The best way is to go ahead and download something like FireFox or Chrome, and that has worked for me.

I have been home sick from work since Wednesday with a tonsil infection. I was planning on going back to work today, despite the pain, however I decided to stay home so I could watch the hockey game, I mean recover!
I'm a nurse in a nicu and a couple of times I have kissed someone else's baby on the head. Eek
I have wanted to do this to a few (ok maybe more than a few) babies! Lately I've been getting babies born really early (24-28 weeks) and then having them every time I work (36 hours a week). I don't think a lot of people understand how much of a bond you build with these babies and their parents/families. I've been taking care of this one sweet baby girl for 10 weeks whose parents can't come very often. I spend more time with her than her parents can at this point, and when I was snuggling with her yesterday I so badly wanted to kiss her!
