  SO excited! There is an "Empowering fearless birth" seminar coming up, featuring Ina May and other vendors. I want to go so so so bad. Only thing is, I know it would be beneficial to have DH go with me but i know he will hate it (he hates crowds and would be bored). Should I go without him or make him suck it up?

  Also, why is it a "belly" when there is a baby inside, but when we aren't pregnant it's just a stomach? How many times did you say "my belly hurts" before you were pregnant? Generally we just say my stomach hurts!
  Hmmm

  because when you are pregnant it is not  your stomach that hurts. You stomach is actually the organ that processes food and while pregnant that gets squished and when youre hurting during pregnancy it is usually due to stretching of the belly.  (unless your stomach hurts when you're pregnant then you would still say my stomach hurts. )

  So I was doing some research on episiotomies because I really don't know much about them and I decided to see what had been discussed on the forums here. The first link was to Dec 13 thread about them and some lady had what is called the "potato chip bag effect" where the cut turned into a full blown tear all the way to her anus. O_o  My jaw was just on the ground for a solid 2 minutes horrified.  I did not think this through. I. did. not. think. this. through.

  I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume that kind of tearing isn't very common! I've also heard that even if you get an episiotomy you can still tear and it will be more severe than if you just tore naturally.

  ---------------------- I'm straight up refusing an episiotomy. I'd rather tear to be honest...that way whatever the tear is, is how much my body needed it to be. An episiotomy could be more than what I'd have actually needed, deeper, whatever. Hopefully I won't tear at all though, agh!

  I'll be refusing as well. I think if you want to avoid tearing you are better served by taking the actual delivery of the head/shoulders slowly and only pushing when you feel the urge naturally.

  I'm in a feisty mood now.  

  
  

  My project team has been on a weekly 'naughty list' since December. We have been working to get off the list for some time now, and this past week, completed work that would remove us from the list.  The weekly report goes out this week, and instead of putting out a blank report showing no one on the list (which they've done in the past), the report maker decided to not put out any report at all, saying there were no new items, and just left last week's report up.

  
  

  Everyone here (including our managers) understood that to mean that this week's report = last week's report, so I was getting questions on why we were still on the report. WTF?! Just saying nothing to report /= nobody is on the naughty list.  That means that there was no change from last week!!

  
  

  I complained/questioned so much they pulled the list from last week so no one can look at it anymore...

  
  

  I know it's probably trivial, but dammit, we wanted off that list!!!

  Hmmm

  Because my stomach doesn't hurt near as often as my belly now.. All my belly muscles get so sore from carrying around this extra belly weight! Not to mention all the other random belly pains that are way lower than I know my stomach is.
  
  Also, typing out the word belly so much makes it kinda lose its meaning and look real silly..
  
  Eta: when I have a legitimate stomach ache I still whine to DH that my belly hurts though...

  I always have a dilemma when I have those kind of pains! I can't say "my stomach hurts" because when I say stomach I think of the organ, and I can't say "my belly hurts" because it comes off as sounding too juvenile somehow (similar to "my tummy hurts"). It's odd though, because I don't really feel like "belly" itself is juvenile. "My belly is huge these days!" sounds perfectly normal to me, but for some reason saying "my belly hurts" makes me feel like a five year old.  :-/

I promise I'm not an idiot doing no research, doc, I just have appt induced airheadedness that makes me forget everything I was gonna ask!

  I used to sit there trying to decide which word to use then just said "the hell with it" and settled on belly for all the pains.  Although I do agree it is a very juvenile sounding word.

  It'll hit whenever you would rather it didn't! Like when you're lying in bed at 2 AM. Or when you are exceptionally busy with life and don't have a spare moment to clean/organize. (

  Ever since my terrible horrible no good roommate and her cats moved out, SO and I had our flea problem under control. We only saw them in the basement, not on the dogs, out of the bedrooms, no where upstairs. And we put a flea trap in the basement and flea dusted it. Yesterday we were talking about how the basement might actually be flea free now too, since they need a warm host for food to reproduce and we really haven't been in the basement that much. Yay flea free for baby without having to fumigate and get gross chemicals everywhere!
  
  Welp, I found an adult, giant ass flea on my back today and I haven't been in the basement for two days. Hopes and dreams crushed. I really don't have the energy that I need to vacuum the whole house today, but I will try my darndest. Good thing we are steam cleaning this weekend...

  @mrscrcalli You'll know when it hits if you suddenly find yourself thinking something like "there is nothing I'd rather be doing right now than organizing the closet!" and when you realize you can't at the moment for whatever reason (no time, supplies, whatever) you break down and ugly cry.
