Sneaking over

Hi ladies. Yep. Another D14. Please don't hold it against me. I'm originally from the IF and IFV boards, so I didn't really know what to expect from a BMB. Now I do. Not sure if D14 is a normal BMB? Yikes.

Little about me: I'm old (AMA), so that's been fun to be told constantly for the last couple of months. I have an 11 year old DS. It's scary. Boys that are close to teen years are scary. I am currently pregnant (hence the D14), was expecting twins, but was thrown a loop and lost one of the babies a little late for it to be considered a vanishing twin. That has thrown me into a really weird place where I'm trying to pretend that this isn't really happening, which I'm sure a therapist would tell me was completely healthy. My DH was in Iraq when my DS was born. They met when my DS was 6 months old. Watching them meet was, hands down, the most amazing moment of my entire life. The only thing that kept me going through 10 years of infertility was thinking of him finally holding our newborn. That might be what gets me through until December. Through IF treatments, I completely lost myself. I used to be fun. Now, I'm a huge downer. So, I have that to bring to your board. You're welcome. I'm working on it.

Lately, I've been a disaster. Poor DH and DS. So, I figure just ignoring my fat gut until December is the best way to deal.

As for D14 and it's drama. I'm not okay with making fun of someone's m/c. Clearly. I've had a few in my life. I actually missed the m/c post that everyone kept referring to. I have no clue what went on, but it still disgusts me. I'm pretty sure I was rather upset at someone from this board, maybe the other night for no real reason. I really don't remember who, but I really am sorry. This whole thing has thrown me for a loop. I'm usually a pretty go with the flow and sarcastic person. Not lately. The MM thing is a disaster. She is a disaster. As a teacher, school shootings are one of the things that terrify me the most. I simply cannot imagine. Yes, I did say that I was ready to drop it the other day. (Now you all hate me, I know) It wasn't because I agree with it. Not even kind of. Again, I've just been having a super shitty last few weeks and I was over MM. However, even though it didn't come out the other night when I was a sobbing mess (at home not on tb, clearly) I am so glad that some of you had the balls to keep after her until she left. I'm sure she'll be back in some form or another.

 But, now the board is back to pregnancy stuff. Probably what it's supposed to be? But, like I said, I gotta talk about something else for the next 6 months for all that is holy or I'll go insane. I just want to be my normal, sarcastic person, who happens to be pregnant. I don't really need to talk about the fact that I'm pregnant 24/7. But, I did post my NT scan pic today because it is simply the most adorable baby ever. Tied with my DS of course. Actually, the pic looks just like the other million that have been posted there. Whatever. It was my moment.

  • 2/2 huh? Well, here ya go.
     
    Soft pants- They make other kinds?
    Cilantro- Yes please.
    Beets- Never had a beet. I'm a texture eater. They seem mushy. I prefer hard things.
    One Direction- I teach middle school. I secretly turn them up when they come on the radio. Yes. I still listen to the radio. My screen in my car broke to use Pandora and I'm too cheap to shell out $2k to get it fixed. Whatever.
    Sherlock- Don't get the remote. Not do I record it. I prefer trashy reality TV because it makes me feel better about my own life and my broken uterus.
    Doctor Who- see above
    Taking the cart back- that's why I have a kid
    Wearing underwear- Hell yes. Especially now that I'm pregnant. Plus, I'm afraid I'll pee myself and wear a panty liner. Although the amount of pee I've been letting out lately wouldn't fit in a panty liner.
    Harry Potter-Uh, yeah.
    The Hunger Games- I'm like a teenager waiting for the last one to come out. Normal? I think so. Even if it isn't, don't care.
    Outlander- Gonna have to goo.gle this later. True story.
    Game of Thrones- See reality TV answer.  
    The Mortal Instruments- Again. Goo.gle
    All Souls Trilogy- no clue again
    The Infernal Devices- I'm a loser
     
    I tried to tell you that in the last 10 years I've been all consumed with IF treatments. I have NO clue what half of those things are. Perhaps it has to do with this damn AMA people keep throwing at me?

    I, too, prefer hard things.
    Aren't hard things the reason we're all here.

    I assure you that it is NOT the reason I'm here. I had to pay to be here. I'd have preferred the hard way.

    Thanks for the welcome ladies.

    ETA: Grown women don't wear undies? Stop me if I'm wrong, but wouldn't that lead to snail trail in your pants? I cannot.do.that. Sorry, side thought.

    @twolittledogs I must miss it because I tend to avoid the board a lot. Lately, I only check up on it during my potty breaks in the middle of the night. Hence, why my tired ass chewed someone from here the other night. Still feel reallybad for that. Tired, full bladder that won't drain, snoring DH and dogs, don't make me pleasant I guess.  Or it's that I don't feel connected to anyone there yet. I was on IF and IFV for so long that I don't really "know" many ladies from other boards. I'm a recluse I guess :)

    @SCSmith2011 Thanks. I don't really think being 36 when I deliver is that old. Maybe I'm in denial?

  • Hey there, I never caught up on the MM disaster I was taking a bump hiatus during that time but you will be missed. It's a good bored but unfortunately there has been a lot of drama. Anyway. I just want you to know you're always welcome back and I hope that the rest of your journey is easier. I'm so sorry you're struggling.

    Another D14 taking HE's advice as part of the Recruitment Campaign, looking for some real talk about things other than pregnancy 24/7. Nice to see sane D14'ers bumping here. 

    Here are my answers to these questions: 

    Soft pants- Absolutely. Better than maxi skirts and dresses IMO because there's no gap between my thighs here (chub rub is real)
    Cilantro- Yes, was brought up eating it, season almost everything with it 
    Beets- No, never, no thank you 
    One Direction- HELL YES (insert sexy Harry gif) 
    Sherlock- Again, HELL YES. Love the show, Love Benny (even more when I found out he was Khan in Star Trek Into Darkness)
    Doctor Who- Haven't seen it but I'm down with BBC (any Luther fans?) and sci-fi so sign me up
    Taking the cart back- Always
    Wearing underwear- Always and there's always some level of cheek coverage involved (no floss for me)
    Harry Potter- Ravenclaw! Neville is my favorite character 
    The Hunger Games- HELL YES (insert Mockingjay call)
    Outlander- Haven't read any of the series yet 
    Game of Thrones- Absolutely - Jon Snow
    The Mortal Instruments- Have only gotten through the first two books
    All Souls Trilogy-Don't know about it
    The Infernal Devices-Haven't gotten to it, trying to get through Mortal Instruments first

    Happy to provide additional references, beer, cookies, boob shots, etc. 


    In loving memory of Baby Hufflepuff and all of D14's Angel Babies

  • Soft pants - I want to be inside their heaven...
    Cilantro - Only good in moderation
    Beets - GROSS
    One Direction - I like one song, beyond that I'm waiting for them to blow over
    Sherlock - I CAN'T WAIT ANOTHER 5,000,000,000 ^#%&^@% YEARS FOR SEASON 4!!!!!!!! I need more now!!!!!!!!!!!
    Doctor Who - I watch all the seasons on Netflix until I get to this past year's Christmas episode then I go back and start all over again. I can't stop. I won't stop.
    Taking the cart back - Always. And if I'm shopping with DH it's his job :-)
    Wearing underwear - Bra? Only in public. Underwear? Only when I feel like it.
    Harry Potter - I read the books every year just to stay relevant. And DH is obsessed so the movies make up 3/4 of our date nights.
    The Hunger Games - Mockingjay was the worst thing I've ever read...should have stopped at 2.
    Outlander - Haven't seen/read yet.
    Game of Thrones - Tempted to jump on the band wagon, but no HBO :-(
    The Mortal Instruments - Books are decent, have yet to see the first movie
    All Souls Trilogy - Never read
    The Infernal Devices - Also decent books. I have to be in the mood to read stuff like this though.

    Let me know if you need anything additional...I'm an open book :-)
