I flush tampons. I flush a tissue or two. I'll flush a wipe or two. But I also flush in moderation. I'm not going to fill the bowl up with wipes and wish for the best.

Oh, must be you're not my tenant! I actually wrote into the lease that she is not to flush anything other than toilet paper, and she flushed enough baby wipes and paper towels to clog the main line. I could've kicked her in the teeth.
WTAF?! Paper towels?! Who the fuck ever thinks that's a good idea?! Might as well throw some maxipads in there for good measure. Good God!
Oh, and she tried to argue that my "broken plumbing" was not her responsibility to pay for. Nice try. The contractor, who also happens to be her cousin, told me what he wound up pulling out of the pipes. Thank goodness I wrote that specific thing into the lease!

I had a roommate in college that thought pretty much everything could e flushed. She flushed cereal, soup, cotton balls, paper towels, and the one that killed the toilet: qtips. They get stuck sideways in the pipes and then catch everything else that gets flushed! Our landlord was not amused.

Oy. I had a roommate like that once too. The plumber found fish gravel, tissues, and qtips in the pipes. I don't know where some people grew up that the plumbing could take that kind of abuse. Wherever it is, I've never lived there.

What the freaking freak?!? Someone hacked my Pinterest account!!!! Changed a whole bunch of stuff in my profile too. Luckily Pinterest thought it fishy and put my account into "safe mode" so no changes can be made until I reset my password, but still! I feel so violated.

Dirty bastards!! I would be so sad if my Pinterest got hacked, I've worked hard on those damn boards!

Decided to order spicy feta dip at my fav restaurant tonight that I haven't been to since pre-BFP. Soooo much regret. Sooo much heartburn. There aren't enough Tums in the world to rectify this decision.

I can not get enough spice, tell me more about this spicy feta dip. 8->

All the sorries that your body didn't like that decision

Ok so my hubs has been unemployed since Sept and has been completing job apps left and right and has FINALLY received a call back for an interview. It's tomorrow so we could use all the T&P that you guys have to offer!

Girl if anyone can commiserate with you it's me! T&P, good juju, and stellar interview vibes for Mr Metz!! Hope he nails it!

Was sent to l&d for spotting and cramping earlier today. I am in preterm labor, got some drugs to try and stop the contractions. I currently am not dilated and my water has not broken. Baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead at 35 weeks and is super healthy.

Girl get your ass home and put your feet up for the next 2 weeks! Glad you're not progressing and that baby is big and healthy, but still scary to think you could go already! glad they were able to stop things.

@baileymama3 - I know where you're coming from. I mean I'm excited, and I love the baby, but deep down, I've felt pretty detached most of the pregnancy. I post abut baby on Facebook to try and make him feel more like a real person to me. I think it's because it's been so difficult physically? It kind of feels like I've just been sick for eight months. The body changes weird me out, and most of the ultrasounds have felt like I was watching a movie of one of my organs or something. I've also spent the entire pregnancy worried I would lose the baby, so I think it's hard to get over that mentality and attach. I bet once you hold your baby in your arms it will feel different--hopefully in a better way. Maybe right now it feels more like an abstract concept?

This is me. I have spent the whole pregnancy worried about something happening, that I"m pretty detached. Once she's in my arms, it will be different.

Based on my "I think there is some sorta special method but I don't know what it is" post? I am sure that was really helpful

But I know exactly what you're talking about.

baileymama3 · March 2014

Jessieann1020 anything you fry in butter and onions is good....pierogies, snails, I would even dare to say cardboard enjoy!

I love all the pierogie love. I grew up eating them and people having NO idea what they were... my dad even sang a silly song about them:

"pierogie, pierogie, 2 for a dime,

pierogie. pierogie, they're mighty fine!"

So all of the sudden I am in "get all the things done" mode. I try to remind myself that 5 weeks is still alot of time and that babies usually come closer to their due dates than this. I don't know what set me off but this is getting really real really fast! On another non panicked note I am going to stop at the store on my way home and see if they have perogies! These things better be good!!

Yeah I've been a clothes washing, bag packing machine lately. I'm just worried ill be too uncomfortable to do it in a few weeks!

Eija3014 · March 2014

Hi ladies. I hope everyone is doing great! Big hugs to those who need them!! Look at you all just chugging right along without me here :P

Now that my little lady is waaaay down in my pelvis, sitting is more difficult/painful than I ever imagined. Does anyone have any suggestions for sitting comfortably? Sitting on the exercise ball seems to help loosen up my hips but if I stay there too long that hurts too lol

snmetz7 · March 2014

Dang now I want crab rangoons

avidkeo · March 2014

I miss chinese food, no chinese restaurants here! Wondering if hot chips is ok for lunch...

Stace0616 · March 2014

@fourthnlast - It's basically feta blended with red pepper served with pita. The restaurant I go to also blends crushed red pepper flakes in for extra heat. All I can stomach today is pudding and ice water, but I promised to make jambalaya with andouille sausage for a Mardi Gras dinner tonight. Hmmm.

As a STM its really hard for me to see so many people say --- I can't wait to sleep on my belly again after baby comes. Cause I know the truth -- sometimes your new milk-filled gigantic boobs get in the way and it takes awhile to sleep on your belly again.

Ugh thanks for reminding me

I'm so glad all I want to do is sleep on my back :-) I feel like a won a little lottery or something...hehehe

OK rehashing an oldish topic...

Subject of the identy of GC...

this comment from Siennasmommy totally made me undertand why people think it her: I didn't use acupuncture.. I did a home method and my baby turned

I had DH put a led light right on my pelvic bone and had him do that for an hour 3 times for 2 days and baby flipped"

on the accupuncture thread!! https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12278760/acupuncture-to-turn-baby#latest

It just sounded... GC like!

Good luck finding perogies. I stopped by the grocery store after my doctors appointment...they didn't have any

I had a rough day today. When I got home, DH played videos of babies and kittens until I felt better. Then he made me this:

It's a sour cream donut warmed up and topped with powdered sugar, caramel cup ice cream, chocolate syrup, and whipped cream. I feel much better now.

Alright Perogies are in the house! My Publix carried about 5 different flavors and even organic ones! I went with cheddar. This day kicked my butt so I am going to eat my feeling tonight. I also bought the new Ben and Jerry's core. It is heaven

I did that too! I ate my weight in peeps!

eireyes · March 2014

I made a bacon variety of alfredo sauce, substituting bacon fat for butter, and then putting that on chicken tortellini with the cooked bacon. I think DH may have a new favorite!

TallaB · March 2014

Happy Pancake Tuesday!! (Though, I seem to be the only one who celebrates this...)

Extra chocolate chips, extra butter, lotsa syrup!! I'm so excited!

janice9821 · March 2014

We didn't used to keep all the ingredients to make a dessert like that around, but pregnancy has changed my priorities at the grocery store.

I feel a little bit guilty....DH worked all day while I stayed home and did nothing productive (blah day) and when he got home I told him I need sour cream and perogies for dinner. He's upset that I didn't tell him to pick up sour cream before he got home...but I didn't know that was the ONLY thing that would sound appetizing for dinner tonight...so now he's gone to the store to get sour cream. I blame you girls.

That's ok! I blame you guys for 90% of my questionable choices these days. Mostly all food related! :x

I have an intense craving for crispy cream donuts.

Yeah I'm worried about brushing it off as over and then having it start up again at midnight or something.

Yea, I'm glad I went earlier and that I'm also being seen tomorrow. It kind of helps ease the panic that can come with the pain. Panic is baaaad for pain. Better to just go and get checked out.

Gee, I wonder why you would suddenly get a craving for THAT.

I use to pride myself on the fact that I could take quick showers even when I shaved everything. Now, 45 minutes minimum, and I do a pretty shitty job at the shaving part.
