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 just fucking chopped the side of my fucking finger off while chopping lettuce for tonight's salad.
Blood everywhere and this shit hurts like a mother.
ALL THE SWEAR WORDS.
That suuuucks. I freaking hate knives and I got woozy just thinking about this. I'm glad it's not serious enough for stitches!
Yeah I called DH all freaking out "I cut part of my fiiiiiiiiiinnnnger offfffffffffffffff! Come home NOW!" Then I calmed down long enough to text the medical professional. Meanwhile DD is watching Dora in the next room "Are you ok Momma?" "Momma is fine. (I'm just bleeding everywhere!) Stay in there! Dora needs you to help her kick the soccer ball!"
Thank you all for the condolences! Also thanks @allietz for lumping my poor kitty in with your poops bahaha. It's good to remember good things are happening too Also, thanks @luckynumbers81 and @msuducks for the reassurance

So sorry to hear this! Losing pets is one of the hardest things.
DH and I were talking about to dinner and I was thinking date night. He then asks if I want to invite my parents. No, I don't. Then he says that DS will like going out. Why doesn't he get it that we need to spend some time alone?
LO kicked the flippin' shizz out of me tonight!. I was sitting in my night class and two separate times it was soo hard I wanted to cringe and make some type of sound that reflected the discomfort, pain, and confusion I felt. Holy cow! Can they really do that at 20 weeks?!? I don't remember DS ever getting me that bad this early, and he was a rib puncher!
*steps off soapbox* lol. But thank you for being open to not using the term in the future!
Just to chime in.... I am mixed black and white and have never considered it to be an insult to be considered exotic. I like being special Not that there is really anything so special about it anymore.
Hey, me too . I understand the insulting nature of "exotic" and I had to learn that people weren't trying to be insulting when they used exotic. I wouldn't consider myself exotic-looking personally by any means. I'm just black and white but whatev.
just wondering but for everyone who has found out the sex of the baby how many of you had mothers intuition or a gut feeling about the sex of the baby and was right?
mrscurlygurl My Dh hates brussel sprouts/ any type of vegetable besides corn and i have been able to make them so he will eat them. clean them and cut them put them in a frying pan with bacon and butter lots of butter and keep cooking them till they are done. if you want boil them a little so it doesn't take as long to fry. But in the end you taste more the bacon then brussel sprouts or i make my cheese sauce for other vegetables so he will eat them.

Yeah, I suppose bacon could make them better. But I don't see the point in that for us because they'd no longer be a healthy veggie that way when I (and DH) like almost all other veggies. I see the point for someone like your DH though. I'm also a little traumatized from childhood and being made to eat a few whenever my mom would make them. My sister and I would hold our noses and choke them down. I think she might be able to eat them now, but I still say NO!
My cousin sent me a link on FB about a 10-year-old boy dying from rat scratch fever that he contracted from a pet rat they got from Petco, because the article also mentioned that is was typically not fatal and only dangerous to the immunocompromised and the very young. While I appreciate the concern, now I'm just waiting for all the people who say I'm an awful mother because I won't get rid of my four rats. They've been treated with antibiotics for another common rattie condition, I was given the specific ok to continue handling them by my OB, and its not like I'm going to let them crawl all over Sprout once he's here.
I got invited to my first sex reveal party for a cousin. Do I bring a gift?

Last night I brought all the recycles and trash to the curb, made dinner (chicken burgers & tater tots w/ side salads) then made some red velvet cupcakes w/ whipped cream cheese frosting. For the first time since being pregnant, I realized I can totally be a working mom. It was a great feeling

Theres this peanut butter company that makes all kindss one for exampl is chocolate chip pb they don't have it in any stores where I live so I actually order it online haha guilty pleasure! So worth it yum
Sorry I'm not klemck, but cookie butter is the BOMB. It's ground up cookies.. made into a butter, much like peanut butter, but without any of the nutritional benefit. You get it at Trader Joe's.
K, do you have crunchy or smooth?
eta: I have a jar of crunchy on my desk and one of smooth at home. NOM.
First time Mommy-to-be! So excited to meet my little angel! ~22 years old~ Lucky enough to have married my best friend on 11.19.13
Every time I eat something it always manages to fall on/in my cleavage. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Especially if it's in a semi-liquid form. Banana pudding? Yep. Ranches dressing with carrot sticks? You know it. A spoonful of cereal? Mm hmm. I'm such a klutz
We have our AS today. DH is meeting me there. Same place as our NT 5 weeks ago. And he still has absolutely no idea where hes going. I have no idea how a person can be so completely directionally challenged. He camt find his way out of a paper bag.
My son was never attached to anything specific (blanket or toy) for the longest. Someone bought him a $35 stuffed giraffe his first Christmas that he had no interest in at the time. Eight months later, he decides that giraffe has to be with him at all times that he has a cup or goes to sleep. A backup "Gibby" is going to cost us $35. FML!
Why don't I have any candy/cookies/cake/sweets in my desk drawer? I brought healthy snacks with me today and I don't want any of those. I may have to visit the snack machine.
I watched episode 24 of House of Cards last night, and I found myself shouting "no, please stop" at the television during a particular intimate scene (I don't want to spoil the details for those who may watch). I didn't realize what a prude I am! I usually have no trouble with watching alternative types of sex scenes and scenarios, but there was a creepiness factor here from a couple of the characters that just made this not okay with me.
