My bf never texts me when he's at work unless it's dire (ok that's a slight exaggeration) but he just text me to wish me luck on my mid term tonight. Is it corny that I can't stop smiling about this and now I'm determined to do well so I don't let him down?

I'm very discriminatory with my HDBD love tits. If I don't recognize your sn/avatar you don't get any love tits from me!

This is me. And if I only recognize your pic because I only see it in HDBD you get a major eye roll.

Like the person who posted her first HDBD pic at 35 weeks?! No love it from me. Not sorry.

I posted my first last week at 34 weeks. Taking pictures of my bump requires a tripod and my DSLR since I have no smartphone and DH has our smaller camera.

If I had to guess, I'd say all the delivery people at our local Jimmy John's know me as "that one pregnant lady" by now. I order it 3-4 times a week. X_X

@bluebird2318 I'm jealous both my work and my home are out of delivery range

That's so mean! "But JJ, you don't understand.. I live less than five minutes away and I'm pregnant and I NEED that sandwich."

Why do people doubt their ultrasound techs and then come post their ultrasounds on the bump asking what we think their baby is? Dude, I do hair. I have no fucking clue how to read your kids smudgy black and white genitals. Trust the people who have years of training in that department!

Bluebird2318 · February 2014

@snmetz7 and @tallab

WTF! I am saddened. The delivery ranges confuse me. You'll go 10 minutes in one direction but not 5 minutes in the other direction? Nonsense!

But they want your expertise! If the baby has a buzz cut, it's a boy; if it has extensions, it's a girl!

ETA: I totally knew someone once who claimed they knew a dentist who could look at your tongue and tell you what you were having. Seriously. 8-|

One of my brothers manages a JJ and has no clue how the company determines delivery range. He said it's super illogical. If he or the drivers happen to know a person who calls and they're within a reasonable distance he has it delivered anyway.

You have really nice brothers!!

Yesterday is was tylenol causing ADHD, today, its "aging dads." Because, we should all marry men that don't age. FFS, they need to stop this bullshit!

I haven't read the article because the headline is too stupid to follow. I think they meant older dads, but hey, good luck finding one of those never aging men ladies!

My husband is being an asshat. He is going snowboarding on Friday (which I forgot about) and instead of RENTING equipment like a normal person, he wants to BUY it. Like wtf man. You're going to go snowboarding once this season and then the shit will just sit, taking up space we DONT have with 3 kids. Plus it's a waste of money (which could be spent on stuff for the baby!!). Now he's mad and thinking I'm being unreasonable. :-w

Between this and the valentines day incident, I am inclined to believe your brothers are pretty effing stand up guys.

I just drank some tea and I feel really good right now. I brewed a vanilla spice green tea and mothers tea together. Normally I get sleepy when I drink caffiene in the middle of the day but this actually pepped me up. Just wanted to share

Did we marry the same person? It's like they never think about the baby. Just themselves. Drives me insane!

fourthnlast · February 2014

Sweet tits magee, the co-pay at the dentist is ridiculous. $200 today and I have to take two kids back next week for 2 more fillings. I'm about to go back to brushing everyone's teeth myself, including the 11 year old!!! FFS.

@aviola329 - sleep with another pillow perhaps? DH and both use shaped tempurpedic-type pillows and since I added a regular pillow on top I've slept much better and my back feels better in the mornings too.
I typically use a tempurpedic type also, made for my neck issues. Maybe I'll try throwing another underneath that one tonight and see if it helps but I usually end up with neck pain on the other side if I've got too much under my head

Totally agree with Colleen. I have major neck issues from the harp and usually the tempurpedic made for neck problems work. But, since I've been pregnant, I've added another soft pillow on top and its helped. I'm sure I'll go back after, but, its just a weird pregnancy thing.

Dr. this morning pointed out that at 34weeks tomorrow, they won't stop contractions and let me have a baby when baby decides to come. This is particularly a reality check since I was born 6 weeks early myself (I know that doesn't mean anything, but it could!). Also doing a practice hospital run tonight on our way to friends for dinner. Maybe its time to think about packing those bags.....EEKS!

Yikes!!! This is on Saturday for me!!!

Does anyone have any ideas on how to freshen up a couch?? Idk why but to me, our couch stinks like our dogs! I'm tempted to buy a portable steam cleaner.

Sprinkle with baking soda and vacuum it? Try that before a steam cleaner.

I just about had a crying meltdown in Children's Place buying a onsie... Whoa hormones.

Emily041285 · February 2014

@poru I'm traveling at 37 weeks (about two hours overnight) for work. My dr was like nbd as long as I'm not driving and I have someone who can leave with me if I need to. A female coworker is my stand in DH for the two days since she has experience but I saw it as a fun last trip. My mom and a few other coworkers think I'm insane for being that far. Here's hoping it works out for both of us!

Mamamonzo · February 2014

@aviola329 is the neck issue a new thing or pre pregnancy? I've noticed in the past month or so my neck muscles feel very weak. It hurts to have a towel on my head and I have to has the pillow a very specific way to support. I'm hoping it passes once the baby is born!

Take it from my hallway closet that is packed with Scuba gear, put your foot down and tell him to rent! That shit is expensive! My husband hasn't been diving in 4 years! What a waste of money and SPACE!

@mamamadi he can come take mine from my garage.

Dear DH,

WHY are we watching Mortal Kombat?

My DH thought his mortal kombat DVD was broken, so he bought another one. Now we have 2, that both work, and never get watched. Oh the random movies that men enjoy. My DH also owns The Power Rangers Movie

michaelad3 · February 2014

Also, now I really want jimmy johns!

janice9821 · February 2014

I got to hold an 8-week-old little girl today! Squeee! Unfortunately, I'm now feeling unbearably guilty thinking about leaving my 12-week-old little girl with a stranger when I go back to work. I don't know how I'm going to do it but I don't think I'm going to have a choice.

I'd love to inherit a soft serve machine 8->

I just realized today that on Saturday I can say, "I'll be having a baby next month." :-O As long as I don't go over by much!

I said this to my husband today! So exciting.

Exciting and overwhelming!

eireyes · February 2014

My random thoughts for the moment:

1) Peanut finally moved off my sciatic nerve, so my leg is not currently throbbing - yay!

2) My car is finally back home - I love being able to get into and out of the car without bending over. I don't know how you ladies with small cars deal while pregnant. Maybe it has something to do with me being 5'11"?

3) DH and I tried to order pizza from a really good place we ordered from a few weeks ago. Since we last ordered, they changed their delivery zone and now we are just outside it by 0.5 miles. DH and I both wanted to cry.

edoliesmom · February 2014

I'm curious how the RTTers who don't use Facebook/want a FB group feel about the upcoming social groups on TB? Are y'all excited? Plan to utilize it or stick around here? What are your thoughts? :-?

edoliesmom · February 2014

@lia619 Message @aviola329 and she'll hook you up.

Stace0616 · February 2014

I keep looking at my newsfeed and marveling at how many of my Facebook friends are having a baby in April... and then I realize most of those friends are from RTT!!

Bluebird2318 · February 2014

That moment when someone you haven't heard from in two months texts you and tells you exactly what to do with your son's penis. :-@

Are growth scans a regular thing? I'm fairly certain I'm not having another ultrasound at least not that my doctor has mentioned. Just wondering (and feeling kind of dumb).

I had a growth scan because I hadn't gained any weight yet so there was concern that the baby may not have been growing well (I'm 280 lbs already, so don't think I'm bragging - my doc would prefer I gain next to nothing). Otherwise, the anatomy scan @20 weeks would've concluded my U/S's for this pregnancy. So don't worry - you're not missing anything, and you're far from dumb.
