    It took my DH an abnormally long amount of time for #1- he's a pro at it now. You can borrow him if you want ;)

  • So I've discovered that the maximum number of boxes I can pack without causing myself stabby pain is 2.  So my day has pretty much been... binge-watch The Bachelor, eat, bump, pack 2 boxes, bump, facebook, pack 2 boxes, eat, bump, facebook, pack 2 boxes, sit on the floor in despair about how long it will take to finish packing at this rate, bump, facebook, 2 more boxes...  *sigh*
    This is pretty much me all day long. Do a little cleaning or laundry or dishes, sit on my ass, repeat the process all day.

    Having a cold in third tri sucks and makes me wonder what would it be like to go into labor feeling this way? It has to happen to some people, right? That would be the worst.
    Agreed. I have had this for about a week and a half, the worst of it is over, but still sucks. I had a really bad cough with my last one and let me just tell you how fun coughing is when you're abdomen is cut open.

  • I read through the gender reveal thread. Hey, I'm bored! I have to say the OP really held her own well. Too bad a ton of naysayers threw her thread all out of whack. Not that I love gender reveals, but good for her for holding her own and staying classy.

    And I HATE that every time I see that wench Berry's avatar I simultaneously get angry and a craving for frozen yogurt.

    I only got through the first two pages. Did we have this much angst against sex reveal on this board? Was I just not as active and missed this hot button topic? Holy smokes I didn't realize people got so mad about genitals and cake!
    Why do my boobs look so good?image

  • Today is the first day that I no longer feel cute and pregnant. I just feel huge and like I'm living in someone else's body. I have really embraced my body and changes all in the name of my sweet baby, but good lord, I'm ready for this to be over. 5. More. Weeks.
    This shit stopped being cute around 20 weeks.

    I don't think so. I don't remember it? I also don't think calling us all "twats" over here on A14 is remotely becoming. But hey, they are etiquette experts!! (see last page)

  • @3crazykitties you're in the nova area right? Is it weird to ask what school? I go to Mason. But yeah, I'm also taking lower levels because I transferred and some of my gen eds didn't apply. I have the credits to graduate, just not the right classes. :-<



    He is at GMU too, he has the same story. He transferred from Nova but never made an appointment to see a counselor I guess and assumed everything transferred.  So he is taking classes like lit, computer science and there is one or two other ones. Either way its annoying because he could have graduated after this semester and got a "real job" just after baby arrives. Now he is stuck splitting his last semester between summer and fall so he can be student, full time worker and start his new role of daddy.

    I used to love NVCC (nova) but I hate it now. They guarantee credit transfer but when push came to shove it didn't work like that. So we have to waste more money on classes he already took. Luckily he got a nice Pell grant this year.

    Is he taking computer science online by any chance?! I am too! Lol. That sucks that he has to drag out his last semester. Hopefully his classes won't be too tough on him. DH is in a similar position, he's in a masters program at GMU and works full time so he is only taking 2 classes instead of the usual 3 because of the baby. Things will definitely be interesting.
    I've heard crappy things about transferring from NVCC, which I find so weird. You would think they would all have the same requirements and automatic transferring of all the credits. I transferred from an out of state university, and they really get you. I don't think I would have done it if I had known but oh well.

    This looks delicious!  I love baked beans, but they're not really a breakfast food here.

    I'm thinking hot dogs and baked beans for lunch or dinner today.  Yumm.

    www.solarmovie.so

    It has everything. Movies, TV Shows, awesome.

    It is an ad-heavy site, so keep your anti-virus software up. And don't install anything at all ever.

  • Parenting really tests and puts strain on friendships. I still have friends that are bitter that I can't go out and do whatever they want at all hours and it's been three years. I just had to quit putting in effort in those relationships that were stressful. Sometimes I still have to remind myself that they're in different places in life and that's okay.

    That's where I'm struggling. Yes, it's perfectly acceptable to be in different places in life and maybe not get invited to the crazy club nights because they know I'm pregnant.

    But on the other hand, I don't think it's okay to neglect a friend altogether because they can no longer do those specific things. We can still do dinners out, movies, girls nights, game nights with the SO's, whatever. I'm pregnant, not in jail for murder. So while I can certainly understand not seeing them as often, I can't forgive being ignored. Especially when the same friend expects me to be there for her over the upcoming months, spending money and finding sitters for a newborn baby that she won't allow at her wedding, etc.

    Obviously not a black and white situation, just frustrating. You want to think that one of your best friends would be a little more invested in this very important time of your life! Le sigh.
    I ended up cutting off a 17 year friendship with one of my best friends since HS, because she had the nerve to get upset with me, saying that I probably would've never bothered to ask her about her wedding planning if I wasn't trying to announce to her that I was pregnant again. Mind you, it's her 2nd marriage, I was the MOH in her first wedding, and she never once asked me or talked to me about her planning this time around. So yea, I asked her how it was coming along and what the actual date was, in the same email announcing my pregnancy to her. She made it seem like I was slighting her, and I cut that shit off... How selfish can you be to be all "That's great you're having another kid but WHAT ABOUT MEEEEE AND MY WEDDING!! YOU DONT CARR ABOUT ANYONE BUT YOURSELF! " FUCK YOU.

  • Is anyone else seriously re-evaluating some of their friendships as the result of their pregnancy?

    People you thought were your close friends who have mysteriously vanished since your BFP? A girlfriend of mine has literally not called, texted or invited me out to anything since I got pregnant. I get that I can't get shit-faced and party hardy anymore, but seriously? Not even a 'how are things?' I'm in her wedding in July and she's making all these demands of us that I would have not even batted an eye at before this...because that's what friends do. Now?....not really feeling a weekend roadie to Montreal for your bachelorette and dropping $500+ when you can't even pick up the phone.

    Ugh. How do you break up with a friend? I think I'll just let it run its course until the wedding and then stop initiating contact. Brutal.

    I've been dealing with this with a couple of my best friends. One of them was the maid of honor in my wedding and she has been MIA since I told her I was pregnant. She didn't show up for my baby shower and just sent me a text message the following day saying that she had marked the wrong day on her calendar. That was a month ago and I haven't heard from her since.... It makes me sad....
