I'm reading the Nov '13 vs Nov '14 thread on N14. Since I'm late in July did we have the pleasure of July '13 coming here to tell us how to survive on The Bump when y'all started getting your BFPs? lol
I seriously can't even make heads or tails of that thread or who belongs to what and where.
Yeah I got lost quickly. I thought it was Nov 13 vs Nov 14 but apparently it's Nov 13 vs Parenting. I don't even think Nov 14 is to be found in that thread.
I think I might have made a baby shower faux pas. My sisters are planning one for me and I was like, "Great! I'll bring the cupcakes!" There's a very specific cupcake from a very specific store that I am obsessed with right now and I can't imagine having a baby shower without them. I did tell them that I'd order them, buy them and bring them, but maybe I should have just let them do their thing.
Friends brought over a bag of valentines M&Ms, and instead of eating them all, I think I'm going to make cookies for my office. Any recipe suggestions?
OMG, only 11 more posts (10 after this) until we've reached 1k. Sorry that this post is meaningless. If it helps at all, here's some info I'm sure you need in life... I've been drinking water, but still have yellow/orange pee. Partially can be from vitamins, but it shouldn't be *that* dark... am I really supposed to be drinking over 100oz/day?!

9! 9 to go! I've been thinking about this way too much.
Man, you miss keeping up with a thread for just a few days and it gets 300 posts ahead of you...
Also, I'm super super excited because DH has today off and is working on clearing out the closet in the baby's room! I asked him to get it started if he had time, but I totally did not expect him to actually do it because I'm feeling the pressure to get things done and he feels like we have all kinds of time. So yaaaay progress!
Maternal grandmother won custody of my husbands daughter who has been living with us for 2 years.... All because the $&@ ing judge has it out for military men. Judges worlds the mitary is not a stable place for a child to be raised" what?????? I am a stay at home mother. This guy so on crack and now my step daughter has to go live her evil grandmother who hates me and my husband, And we have to pay 600$ a month. She has money and got a lawyer while we couldn't. Oh did I mention this is all taking place in Ontario. Just what I needed during this pregnancy is to lose my (step) daughter. It kills me when she calls crying telling me she doesn't want to live with her nana.
Livid and need to rant!!!!!

Ugh...that really blows. Is there no chance for y'all to find a lawyer and a different judge.

That's horrible.. is there a chance you can appeal?
So we can post more than 1,000 posts but it stops showing the number in the feed?
Apparently. It's like this McDonald's sign at one of their restaurants near us. "Serving over 99 billion." It drives DH nuts...haven't they reached to more than that by now
Just found out we need to replace the radiator in my Honda Pilot. $868 ... Grrrrr. And we were trying to save money so I can take an extended maternity leave. It's gonna have to go on a credit card. Ugh

I am sorry the judge was wrong can you still be there for the girl? She must be so confused right now.
I really really don't want my stbxh to be to father.
(There's no doubt. Unfortunately)
I'm sorry, icha. That said, you will move on, and eventually meet someone new. A real father is the man who contributes to raising and loving a baby, not the one who knocked mom up. I say this as an adopted woman whoseparents weren't the ones who gave me DNA.
One of my friends is convinced that pregnant women cut their fingers/handd more of often because their balance is out of whack. At least 3 of my pregnant friends have cut themselves while prepping/cooking. I got myself pretty good last pregnancy. Eesh, maybe there is something to it?
2 vents, because I don't have anyone else to bitch to:
1) I LOVE my chosen profession but the place I work right now.... I hate with a passion. If I could, I would quit RIGHT NOW. Sometimes, just the thought of going into work makes me want to cry. Granted my situation is adding extra stress, but my boss is a huge B.
2) OB said he would call with a/s results "If there is anything abnormal". Umm... how about you call me to tell me the results even if they are NORMAL? I hate getting anxious every time I feel my phone start to vibrate.
Thanks everyone. @luckynumbers81, well she was 11. Unfortunately MIL found her dead this morning, about four hours after she was released. We're glad she at least didn't have to die at the vet. Found out while we were at the OB (and luckily our scan was normal and baby was healthy.) but we also found out I'm RH-negative, which sounds like its not a big deal right?
Anyway, spent the rest of the day eating all the food and crying and watching a how I met your mother marathon. Ugh. Thanks for letting me rant. Shitty day.

I have good moments and I have not so good moments. It's starting to sink in which is bringing up more panic, but I keep reminding myself that everyone is healthy and that's all that matters.
That definitely the most important thing, but don't forget to show yourself some grace and give yourself time to adjust!
Re: Random thread- for all things random.
Thank you! I am a little biased but I do agree!
How're you settling in with the twins news?

I'm like those people who write "first" in the comments of tabloid blogs.

That was kind of anticlimactic.

Omg! Will you need stitches? Sorry that happened
No I texted my BFF who is a vet. She said some surgical glue should be ok. Luckily Ive got that and surgical scrub on hand. Welcome to MS!
