I am tired and unmotivated today. Apparently I thought a maternity wrap dress and pantyhose were a good idea to wear - bad idea. My boobs - which have tripled in size, keep falling out of the dress and I can't find a safety pin. My H had to help me put on my pantyhose. I'm not quite as bendy as I used to be.
It's interesting...I work in NYC and things seem like business as usual. I was at a seminar this morning and they announced at the beginning there would be no moment of silence at certain times for 9/11. Which is new.
I have a girlfriend who lost her husband on 9/11. She had a 2 year old and was 9 months pregnant at the time. She is a super lady...and still so sad.
meladoriestar Since there are so many doulas, maybe ask some members of the local La Leche League or Breastfeeding USA (if not in US, then similar organization) what their experiences were with some of the doulas.
FFS, they just had a "Gender Reveal" on the Chew. Damn it, it is SEX! And I fear after this we may see more posts on this board for "I'm setting up my Gender Reveal party, what cool ideas did you see on Pintrist?"
I was a freshman in college during the attacks. We were sitting outside our physics lab, waiting for the professor when someone came and told us a plane just hit one of the towers. Our reaction was, "Who the hell is that stupid, they're huge!" At that point, we thought it was some little prop plane with an inept pilot. When the second plane hit, we were sent home and the truth began to sink in. I remember the fear of the next few hours and days and weeks, wondering if there would be another attack, trying to get ahold of people we knew in the city (all ok, for the record), fear of flying, etc. and being in awe of how people immediately banded together to help each other.
I chose to talk with my sixth-grade advisory group this morning about it. One actually had brought in a book, and we spent some time talking about what happened. These kids weren't even born then, so it's kind of just a news story to them. We had a good talk though, and I encouraged them to talk to their parents when they got home.
I think im finally learning how to contain some of my moodiness! Its now thursday and I havent muttered anything under my breathe or gave anyone a bad look all week. I won't lie, im feeling quite accomplished.
I took a sick day because my back pain got worse and I woke up in tons of pain. I've finally gotten caught up on the board. I'm not going to respond to the trolls anymore unless they come up with something more original. I can't deal with that right now.
@Skrittens that makes me sad that there isn't even a moment of silence. That's the first step towards the whole "forgetting" aspect of something that terrible. Today isn't just another day. Everyone should take time to remember, even as a formality.
H went to college in north jersey and many of his roommates families lived or worked in NY. He knew a lot of people affected by it.
I bought new shoes yesterday. just some nice slip on shoes. they KILLED my feet at work today. I couldn't wait for my day to end to take them off. they are still throbbing.
I have to work job 2 tonight, but luckily I can wear flip flops and give my feet some space
Umm an entire U2 album was added to my music folder on my phone. How? Why? I don't like U2. How the hell do I delete it?
This was mentioned yesterday on CNBC that as part of the new Applie iPhone release, a certain amount of iPhone users would be given the entire album as a free download. I guess for marketing purposes?
Ugh that's seriously an invasion of my shit. At least fucking send me an email and ask if I want it or better yet If you're giving free shit ASK what music I like! It's not on my iTunes account on my laptop so I have no clue how to get it off

That's fucking annoying. Now I need to go check mine.
I just checked mine, and I have it too... I'm not really a U2 fan either.... if anyone figures out how to get it off please let us know.
***Quote Fail***
Is it actually on your phones? I just looked at mine and all the songs have the cloud symbol, so it's an option for me to download it or not.

Yup when I am listening to music it plays those songs anyway even if I haven't downloaded them. Makes no sense.
Holy shit. I totally forgot I had an appointment today until a half hour before! Losing my mind. 14w today and baby is doing excellent. Doctor was laughing because she put the Doppler on me and we heard the heartbeat immediately, she didn't even push down yet. She said he or she is a show off and wants their presence known
Appointment went great! Baby's heartbeat is 154!! I'm so glad FH got to hear baby, even though we didn't get to see him/her. My blood pressure is still mildly elevated, not enough for meds yet, but my OB said she thought I would definitely need them at some point. As long as baby is healthy, I'm happy!
Guys..... I just woke up. I am being a naughty little minx and not going to read all just yet. As soo as it hit midnight, my brain went straight to that day 13 years ago, and I remeber how frightened I was, even being the safe distance in the Midwest. All that being said, someone (and the people who defended her) I know from my hometown shamelessly disregarded today's remembrance of tragedy, to plug in her wedding and rsvp's. I will also post my reply, calling her out.
The saddest part..... Several people defended her. Her mom sad I was a sad cruel person, another said I was pathetic...
@MandJS no worries I did delete her. However before I did all that, there were people (including her douchebag of a fiancé) actually defending her? I was really taken aback by it all. Seriously no shame in her game apparently. The brides response to it all was pretty amazing as well. If you guys are interested in the train wreck, I would be more than happy to share. I just honestly don't see how my response was in any way cruel or pathetic as they put it.

Your response wasn't in any way cruel or pathetic! What she posted was just heartless and tacky.

You're absolutely right! If she just HAD to post about her wedding she could've waited one fucking day, at the least. What a moron.
Or even just a separate thread. Combining it is just ridiculous!
I've been in and out, but I promise I will catch up. I am 12 weeks 2da!
We signed our closing papers this afternoon and our buyers sign theirs tomorrow. We get the keys to our new place on Monday! Holy crap we bought and sold a house! I am so stoked for more space, a real dining room, and second bathroom!
---end quote---
So jealous. Congrats! This is a process hanging over our head in our 2-3 year plan. I'm worried how much further back it'll be pushed by the baby. This house is plenty big enough for 3 people though so I really can't complain. I just want a damn basement! And a fenced in yard.
We watched the new Sons of Anarchy last night and that show is really starting to piss me off. Everyone is a lying murderous asshole. I'm not sure I'm going to enjoy this last season much which gives me the sads.
I just watched it. Every scene made me so angry. The deceit that goes on in this show is too much. I knew after last season's ending that this was going to be a tough one. I miss the first few seasons. Those were the best.

I honestly examined what I wrote and after reading the replys and really wondered if I was in the wron here, but honestly, what she wrote was in such poor taste it left the nastiest taste in my mouth.
I haven't been around much lately since work/life has been insanely busy, but I wanted to stop by to say hi. I might take a bit of a bump break for a bit so that I'm not thinking/talking about babies all day every day, but I'll check in with you guys here and there. I want to thank you all for the incredible amount of support that you all gave me and I hope that you have easy, uneventful pregnancies.
I did get the first set of testing results back today (thyroid function and clotting factors) and all of that was normal. I guess we will wait to see if there's any information to be had in the remaining tests and if not, keep trying. I don't know how many times we will try, but at least one more.
Im sooo happy i successfully finished my first week back at my second job and survived three 14 hours days back to back. Ive literally only been kissing my husband goodbye and goodnight every morning and night. When I got home today I hugged him for like 5 minutes straight, I actually REALLY missed him for the first time in a while! it just felt awesome I had to share ">
I'm partially caught up today. I've been bumping (a lot of lurking) between getting the house ready for the garage sale starting tomorrow. Is it ready? Nope! It's going to be a real treasure hunt sale because everything is a cluster-muck at the moment.
@wendyld You are going to be really missed around here. Lots and lots of hugs, T&Ps, positive vibes, and every other creepy/non-creepy online sentiment.
Oh. And my random: I ran out of gas last night. That hadn't happened in a while! I think my brain just shuts off the low fuel gauge 'ding'. Hubby came to the rescue (and I was in the kohls parking lot so it wasn't too bad ... )

This is her reply to it all, and my response.
This girl is the epitome of "klass" and tact
And she sounds like a class act. Fuck her and her stupid wedding
