Has anyone been getting to the end of the day lately to find them self saying "I can't wait until maternity leave" or am I the only one

Definitely not the only one.

More like I can't wait for this baby to come out. I want baby to finish cooking obviously but if the due date could just speed up that'd be nice.

hrgwu2006 · April 2014

I guess I'm feeling the opposite. Maybe it's just nerves...but as much as I dislike being pregnant, I'm scared shitless about bringing up a child! But I could totally go for some time off

The END of the day? Girl, I think that all day long, from the moment I wake up! I have repeatedly contemplated taking a few months unpaid just to stop now, but I know DH wouldn't approve since my only excuse for not working is "I don't want to."

I am so burned out/checked out at work though that I find myself taking forever to do the smallest tasks, and finding all kinds of ways to put off the few things I need to do. Ultimately, I accomplish nothing. I know I will regret saying this, but I wish I could get put on a crazy time sensitive, overwhelming project to make these last 8 weeks fly by!

I made the mistake of googling "Frank breech" since that's the position baby's been for the past month. Color me freaked out. Apparently, even if they flip, these babies' legs get can get "stuck" in the air and takes awhile for them to relax to normal position. It looks painful and weird, but doesn't actually hurt the baby. My doctor is not freaked out, so I keep telling myself to stop borrowing trouble. Smh

jnnfrrose6 · April 2014

Today is the second anniversary of FIL passing and I feel like I'm not sure how to support DH on this one. I'm doing my best, but I just have no idea what he needs from me. He decided to take today off from work (did that last year too), so I convinced him to have a father/son day with DS and it sounds like they had a good day together, but now that I'm home from work I don't know what to do for him.

When I first saw the actor who plays "Eric" for a split second I thought he was portrayed by Macklemore. I got really excited. Then after 2 seconds I realized they just looked slightly similar and I had a let down. I love Macklemore.

But can we talk about Four.... At first I was mad about his casting since he definitely doesn't look 18, but then I saw it and have been drooling ever since.

^I think @jensavicci that's a reference to the cheese & rice SN who ripped up to her cl!t (bumping from work). That horror story was in the tear or episiotomy thread. God, I hope I don't have a cheese and rice story for this delivery.

I thought it was a reference to that Ashton Kutcher/Brittany Murphy movie Just Married where she says cheese and rice a lot. I always thought it was supposed to sound like Jesus Christ but for people who don't want to say that.

I'm really sorry there are issues with you and your father

it's really upsetting to hear about all the stories of troubled relationships with fathers on here (and anywhere else for that matter). I just wanted to give you Internet hugs before I passed out for bed.

:::Quote fail:::
I was being generous with the end of day lol. I have a coworker who is just totally insufferable. Talks in circles, totally paranoid, self centered, and confrontational. And with our 3rd boss in 5 months and a brand new CIO we are trying to be a united front and she's being difficult at every turn. Serenity now!!! :P

ETA- quotes are difficult

nola 1017 · April 2014

Yeah, @livelaughlove88 I was wrong on that. She said she meant it as a replacement for Jesus Christ.

Dude. I can always talk about Four. He played him soooo well. I envisioned him a little different but they did a good job casting him. I was a little hateful at their casting of Tris but I think it's because I wish Four was my boyfriend.

@jessa8907‌

Aye aye aye! Such a sticky situation. This happened between my step dad and step brother. It was really my step brother's fault (without going into detail). It got so bad that my dad said he had had enough and wanted nothing else to do with my brother. My brother had expressed the same feelings (except when he wanted something) and wouldn't have anything to do with my dad. The sticky part came when my dad had a heart attack. My mom had no clue whether or not to call my brother. She didn't want to make my dad mad by calling, but at the same time that's life or death and brother deserves to know!

Since I don't know the full situation, I would just say to try to tough it out as awkward or difficult as it may be. However, if it wouldn't upset you in the event of his death, then cut your ties. I would hate to cut ties and someone pass without resolution.

Hope that makes sense!

nola 1017 · April 2014

Word! @jp27. The actor who played Four is a total hottie. The actress who played Tris though (drawing a blank on her name) was too pretty for Tris. Not that Tris is ugly. But she's described as mousy and plain. I haven't seen the movie yet but in the previews, the actress is not plain at all.

nola 1017 · April 2014

No one's on chat.

Whoever said they can't wait for maternity leave - I'm right there with you. I am so unmotivated at work. I just did my own settlement for the first time - without my partner's input at all, and I just feel meh about it. All I want to do is nest for this baby. Too bad I need a job to pay for all of that.

dobbyisfree · April 2014

My upper back is killing me and Im so excited that I have a prenatal massage tomorrow.... except that after the last one (when I felt great) she warned me my back was a disaster so it was probably going to feel like I worked out really hard. Later on that night it was like I did shoulder presses for 4 hours straight I was dying. Reminder to self - ice often and early!!!

Big+Lil · April 2014

@rattlecanqueen‌ my daughter wasn't breech, but had her legs like that. Her foot was stuck in my hip and was born frog legged. She's perfect now.

My random thought might be height related, but I'm terrified of burning my belly on the gas burners.

Katieryan13 · April 2014

Today is one of my dogs birthday and when we woke up dh and I were all, "Happy 3rd birthday" and "You are 3 today", etc. It was only about an hour later, while I was in the shower, that I realized that it was his 4th birthday. Doggy mom of the year right here!

Shailene Woodley. I actually kind of liked her except her hair was too dark and her boobs were too big. In the book they specifically made fun of her for not having anything going on there, and in Allegiant she gets all self conscious about it.

*SPOILER ALERT IF YOU HAVENT READ ALLEGIANT*

If you're wanting Four to be your boyfriend, @JP27‌ I hear he's available now.... Don't get me started on that though >:-(

I'm sure it'll be okay, even though he probably will cry himself to sleep tonight ♥♥♥

I made up for it by giving him a bone and feeding him more than usual.

Is it weird that after reading through the MBF post, I sat and wondered to myself if I'm considered a regular or not? I'm on the bump all the time, but don't post daily by any means. I use the love tit button like it's my job and give T&Ps/good vibes to those who ask/need, but not sure if that makes me a regular or not. Either way, I thoroughly enjoy this board. It gets me through my days quite often.

This bums me out and totally not what I meant by my comment. But, I can see how it would be taken that way and I should have rephrased. I just wish the people who post on HDBD would post more elsewhere, give themselves an actual personality on the board. I go in there and only recognize 1 out of 5 people. And when I say recognize, not necessarily by username, but mostly by signature.

Just started reading an Asimov book recommended by my husband after he told me a quote. I think I might make my go to line!

"Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent"

nola 1017 · April 2014

@jamiesejkora - I wondered the same thing. I don't start posts but I try to comment on them. Part of the reason I added a siggy pic was so I wouldn't fade into the background as much. I feel more self-conscious now. Like im too boring or something

mamakiss · April 2014

I just downed a grilled cheese sandwich and a large shake in the sonic parking lot after my night class let out. I feel no remorse.

TallMomma29 · April 2014

Sometimes I wish there wasn't a "love it" feature so there wasn't this weird dynamic of a popularity contest and we didn't have to worry about making anyone feel left out! I can't speak for the others but I definitely didn't mean to make anyone question whether they were regular enough or interesting enough! I just don't want to click love it on every photo in 9 pages of HDBD pics... That's all! For me, I think everyone should post as much or as little as they want and feel equally welcomed here! I really don't care whether someone is "regular" or whether they take out time to show a requisite amount of support in other threads before posting (Although if you rarely say anything and then you come out all guns blazing you better expect some backlash... Just like you would get IRL!)

TallMomma29 · April 2014

In other news, DH's ship is out in the ocean attempting to come home. I feel the need to knock on every piece of wood in sight because I know I shouldn't get my hopes up but I'm so ready for him to be home!

emineminem · April 2014

You guys, my husband says if I get a hundred love tits on my HDBD pic he'll buy me a puppy!

abchittam · April 2014

I don't know that there is any point in sharing this really, I just need to spill the beans to someone because I am just in shock!

I have a "cousin" that just turned 22 at the end of January. She became pregnant with her oldest son at 15. By age 20, she had 3 children. She wanted to get her tubes tied after the third, but no one would do it because she was so young. She had a 4th child just before her 21st birthday and gave it up for adoption. No one even knew she was pregnant until after the baby was born because she didn't tell anybody. She also never got any prenatal care for that pregnancy. Finally, she found someone that was going to tie her tubes and was scheduled to have it done a couple of weeks ago. She went in to have it done and while having the preliminary tests done found out she was pregnant with the 5th - around 20 weeks!

I'm just speechless.

Has no one sat her down and explained how you get pregnant and all the other ways, aside from getting tube ties, that you can try and avoid it?

Also, being super nosey here but, are all of the kids from the same father?

Seriously...tubes tied is not the only answer. I would be speechless too.

This is a tough situation. My FIL died a few months after DH and I were married. DH was very closed off to me about it when it happened. I wasn't even at the hospital at the time because DH told me to go home. He spent that night at his mothers' with his siblings and he sort of forgot I existed at the funeral. I didn't know what to do for him then and I don't know what to do for him every year on the anniversary of his passing and its been five years. I have no experience with losing a parent. I think a father/son day with your DS is a great idea. Otherwise, I would say just be around if he wants to talk about it.

I agree, girl needs some sex ed, but why wouldn't anyone just tie the tubes?! She's a legal adult who was perfectly capable of making a medical decision for herself. So what if she's young? It's a reversals procedure if she ever changes her mind. My mom had hers tied after my brother and then untied to have me.
