@lewispm - have so much fun in Atl! Where are you staying? I lived there for over 15 years and miss it so much!

Thanks! I'm only about 2 hours away but I haven't been in forever! I'm not too sure about exactly where we are staying, but the Hotel is the Hampton Inn Perimeter and we have plans to hit up Atlantic Station one day and Decatur for shopping/spa another.

Sooooo jealous. I love Decatur Square! If your hotel is the one I am thinking of ...make sure you eat at Eclipse de Luna - it's not far and there are several in the city but one across from the Perimeter Mall. And for a quick lunch in Decatur - Taqueria del Sol. Atlantic Station isn't my favorite - I prefer the boutiques in the Highlands and Decatur and shopping at Lenox Mall and Phipps Plaza. Also - the Perimeter Mall is ok. I am so jealous. Have so much fun!!!!

Oh and wishing anyone fasting an easy fast tomorrow!

I always feel guilty for not fasting the last several years. I've always been pregnant or nursing and didn't feel comfortable fasting. On the other hand, I feel guilty for not. This is probably the best medical position I've been in, so I was thinking of doing a modified fast. On the other hand dehydration causes contractions, and I already have problems with those so I need to at least drink.

lewispm · October 2014

@skrittens Thanks again! We have an itinerary set and Taqueria is where we will be eating lunch Saturday! We have dinner planned for Noche (don't know anything about it), but I'm unsure how flexible this whole itinerary is. I believe we are going to Atlantic station because a lot of girls (myself included) have never been to an IKEA! Isn't that where H&M is also? I want to hit up H&M as well. We also have plans to go to World of Coke but I have been a few times so I might skip out and do something else instead.

@FrecklesInside‌ I've been craving a donut forever. I'm off to California on vacation I'm so excited!

Skrittens · October 2014

@lewispm‌ - I LOVE NOCHE!!!!! One of our faves in an awesome neighborhood. Eat all the food for me!!

I have a girls weekend in ATL planned this weekend with some moms from my July12 BMB. I am super excited, but it will be the first time MH has watched our son for more than a few hours and I am nervous! MH is a great dad and I know he will be safe and whatnot, but I am nervous that MH will lose his mind. LOL. He is not the most patient person in the world with DS (as terrible as that sounds) and can't handle it when DS has a tantrum (he's 2. He has lots). I know moms deserve a break sometimes and all, but I can't help but worry. He will have him alone from like 5am Saturday morning to like 3pm Sunday evening. Not long, but not short either.

Oh, have fun here in the ATL!! It's supposed to be chilly this weekend with highs only getting to 63 degrees tomorrow. Are you from around here?

I'm from Birmingham so our weather is pretty similar. 60's will definitely be the coldest yet for us recently, but I know it will be for y'all as well. I am looking forward to breaking out the boots!

I am in Birmingham too! My little sister lives outside of ATL in Grayson and I am heading there after work to watch my niece's soccer game in the morning. It is going to be cold at 9:00 on that soccer field!

Seriously?!?! That's awesome! Is it too creepy for me to ask where in Bham? I am in the Chelsea area now but grew up in the Oak Mountain area.

Just dragged my 95 lb chocolate lab outside to his dog run for the third day in a row. I am not sure why he's refusing to go out himself as he's been fine for the last few months. Anyway, after doing that and sitting down with my heart racing, I am needlessly worried that the physical exertion could cause problems. I know it should be fine, and I'm just being irrational, and the worst that seems to be happening is just a ton of aching in almost every joint, but I am still not thrilled with the idea of repeating this every day. He's a sweetheart, but seriously exhausting!

Edit: Hope you can all handle wrongly oriented pictures because I have no idea how to change this on mobile!

cinnamonlatte · October 2014

I have a vent today. I have had two co-workers tell me that I am going to have a big baby. I am not even that big, and it is my second kid. It is so annoying that society has no idea what a normal pregnant person is supposed to look like. Yes my stomach is going to get bigger, and I am going to gain weight. I am growing a human for goodness sake.

He is so precius!

randomnames · October 2014

@ruemorgan‌ I hope your pup feels better soon. I love Great Danes! I've always wanted one.

My H likes to pretend he feels baby girl kick, but he hadn't. I've only had one movement that I think may have been strong enough to feel from the outside. At least the inside movements are getting a little more consistent. The other night I had about 5-10 minutes of repeated little jabs (some of which really tickled!). Love that feeling!

Also, I'm in a good mood today and I'm pretty sure it's because I finally got lucky last night! :-) It was our anniversary and we spent some time reminiscing about our wedding and everything that's happened since. It was so nice :-)

melleasndrs · October 2014

Taking my social media break was interesting. I was able to get a lot done and clear my head for a little. That doesn't mean that it wasn't replaced instantly with stress. I have had the worst 2 weeks. Everything is a mess. Finances are falling apart, my SO bitches about everything all day everyday, and I'm trying so hard to keep it together. I'm thinking of taking a few days to go stay with my mom....

In a brighter note I have been feeling some movement this week! I can feel baby shift around in there. It is such an amazing thing!

kcbizme · October 2014

It's supposed to be 81 here today. After the crazy storms we had yesterday, I'm happy to see some cooler temps!

The craziness from yesterday

cinnamonlatte · October 2014

@ruemorgan‌ Sorry about your pup. I hope eerything turns out ok.

goofygoff · October 2014

@ruemorgan FX for your pups.

I honestly thought I completely bombed my Calculus II quiz on Monday. Nope, got a 90. I've never had much confidence in my mathematical abilities. I got a B in Calc I earlier this year (with less than optimal study habits), so it's not like I'm struggling. Not sure what this stems from.

Also, 19 weeks 2ma! Time is flying!

drudolph11 · October 2014

Does anyone play words with friends or hanging with friends?I would really love some new people to play with besides SO lol let me know with your user name!!

rowboat4 · October 2014

@janda426‌ so exciting your husband felt baby!

@chaysefaith‌ sorry you had a rough night but glad everything is ok!

@ruemorgan‌ hoping everything is ok for your pup! I hate when my fur babies are sick.

@MandJS‌ love the mean girls picture, I was hoping someone would bring that up today.

@chaysefaith‌ @jenny0314‌ and @cabauer9‌ now I just want to watch Gilmore girls all day! But, alas, I am at work.

AFM, I'm super jealous of everyone with fall weather right now. It's supposed to be in the 90s here all weekend. And, 18 weeks yesterday! AS in two weeks!

MrsLaurenandDan · October 2014

@luckystarz‌ oh man that sounds awful!!! They did that with the seats to us once. They promised they would seat one of us with DS1 who was 2. They claim they did, but he was across the aisle from me and DH was 2 rows away. Thankfully we got someone to switch with us.

I am definitely not planning a pregnancy Halloween costume. For me it is bad luck. I have planned it twice, and then not been pregnant on Halloween both times. I know it's unrelated, but I just can't this time.

lewispm · October 2014

Do any STM's get super annoyed when people just assume you are hoping for this baby to be the opposite sex of your child(ren) you already have? If I hear one more person tell me "oh, hopefully it's a girl this time!" or "well, I'll be praying for a girl for you!" I am going to loose it. I usually just tell them that I am not hoping for a girl and leave it at that (I 100% do not have a preference and will be thrilled have either). Its just really frustrating and quite rude to me. I know they man well, but it just leaves me feeling like everyone will be upset, or worse, think that I am upset, if this baby is a boy. So annoying.

LBeez13 · October 2014

@lewispm There is this cartoon strip that shows a family of 2 boys and everyone asks, "When are you going to try for a girl?" Then there is a family with 2 girls and everyone asks, "When are you going to try for a boy?" Then there is a family with a boy and a girl and everyone says, "Aww the perfect little family". Then it shows the family with the boy and girl and the mom pregnant and everyone is asking "Why would you do that?"

Cracks me up. We already have a boy and are 95% sure we are having a girl this time around and everyone always says, "Aww the perfect little family." Like we would think something is wrong if we had another boy.

alexandria22489 · October 2014

janda426 happy your H got to feel the baby! I hope the nose bleeds stop soon

@ruemorgan‌ thoughts are prayers for your pup, please keep us updated. I have a soft spot for great danes, they're a wonderful breed.

goofygoff one of the best feelings is doing great on a quiz/test after you thought you had failed.

crunchymamaof2 ooh, good luck on meeting your potential furbaby, I hope it goes well!

This morning I toured a daycare. I am already technically on the waiting list because I filled out my application, but I had to push back the meeting/tour because H was out of town. Well, H had to go out of town again, so I still went by myself. It was really nice. I'm excited, especially because it's so close to home and work.

janda426 · October 2014

Well I fell back asleep after my nosebleed and just woke up to breakfast in bed from H to start my "birthday weekend"! Melt my damn heart. He can be sweet sometimes

Thanks everyone for the congrats- H was seriously beside himself and he's usually not that outwardly emotional.

@chilibeansm0m‌ aren't these nosebleeds bullshit?! H was passed out but saw all the bloody tissues in the trash can and was like "another nosebleed?" Yep.

DragonflyDreaming · October 2014

I only have time to skim this morning, but:

@ruemorgan‌ Lots of positive T &Ps (and cuddles) for your doggy. I hope you take the day off and go see him!

@chaysefaith‌ I'm sorry about that aweful experience last night. And glad everything is going well this morning! You keep reminding me of my need to get a doppler for occasions where you just need to know. Do you like yours? (And if so, which do you have?)

@MrsLaurenandDan‌ Pardon my lack of knowledge, but what is the fasting for tomorrow? I definitely would find it nearly impossible at this point since I want ALL the food (all the time). But you could always check with your ob if it would be harmful in any way? Either way, you definitely shouldn't feel guilty.

You're growing a human!

@luckystarz‌ That sounds like an aweful experience! I hope you have time today to make up

@janda426 Happy Birthday!! Your husband sounds awesome!

(and glad your nosebleed stopped)

I definitely need to start planning a date night with my H. We'd talked about it before, then life happened and we just got SO busy. Poor excuse though. We definitely need it. And the idea of having it be a kid-free zone (in action as well as conversation) is brilliant!

I am.SO super happy my H is getting home tonight! He's been gone 3 weeks and I really missed him.

He's here until then 10th, then ill.join him on the 16th. This move is coming FAST!!

We have the movers coming on Tuesday to loaf a crate that will take 2-3 MONTHS to get to us! So I'm trying to make sure I have everything I want/need before Tuesday (which means amazon orders need to be placed by today!)

We also are finally having our (what feels like) never-going-to-happen garage sale, this weekend. We put it in the paper, even, lol! (So we couldn't back out of it again, or try to reschedule). I am heading to get poster board for it now. I NEVER want to have a garage sale again. In the future, I'm just bagging and donating everything.

TgIF!!! I hope everyone is having a good Friday!

PS: What's for lunch? I'm going with panera! I have been wanting one of their paninis.

shlittertoots · October 2014

@janda426 I'm so jealous that your H already felt the baby from the outside! I haven't felt anything yet that is definitely baby and not possibly gas. Anterior Placenta Fail.

@ruemorgan I'm sorry about your dog

I just bought this costume for DD and I can't wait to see her wear it. She is in love with Kung Fu Panda so I know she'll be really excited. And FX it's not a disappointment since I ordered it online.

Whoa that's a fucking huge picture.

chaysefaith · October 2014

@DragonflyDreaming, I love mine. I have the sonoline B, which I think is what most of the ladies here are using. It's a huge comfort until I start feeling regular movement

This just happened to me yesterday. We would be happy for either sex, but are kind of hoping for another girl.

shlittertoots · October 2014

@mandjs the same brand on amazon had lots of animals, including a teddy bear and a polar bear. Let me find the link...

Here's the teddy bear https://www.amazon.com/Underwraps-Babys-Teddy-Belly-Brown/dp/B00CMI9VJ4/ref=sr_1_51?s=apparel&ie=UTF8&qid=1412356489&sr=1-51

Panda bear

Polar bear

I'm not sure what size your DD is, but a Large is 2T-4T.

starsailorr26 · October 2014

I'm going to try to leave work early to catch the second half of the Dodger game. Will you be watching @meladoriestar?

@ruemorgan I hope your poor pup is okay.

I vote for Gone Girl, @Darbie914. I want to see that so bad.

shlittertoots · October 2014

@Darbie914 I second Gone Girl. I really liked the book and want to schedule a date night to see it!

jack12trip · October 2014

Happy Friday, everyone! Because it is actually Friday today.

@chaysefaith Sorry that last night was filled with anxiety. Those nights are the worst. Do something kind and relaxing for yourself today.

@janda426 Wow! How awesome for you and H to experience that last night!

@goofygoof Congratulations on your test! I have spent many a night thinking I had bombed a Finance test and know what relief and a confidence boost it is when you get a good grade back!

So...I lurked on another board. I just wanted to read some of the October 2014 birth stories. They were so amazing and each one different--very moving. It made me very happy for them and excited for all of us in M15 when the time comes.

@mandjs I'm already on Zoloft I've been tapering off methadone and am down to 5mgs and I think that's testing me mentally a bit. Maybe I should talk to my doctor next week about slightly upping my Zoloft. I want to just jump off the methadone but I'm too scared too

I'm so happy for you that you are getting off! I wanted to but my clinic has never had a pregnant female before so they are afraid to even breathe on me. Good luck to you and keep me posted on how you feel, hopefully I'll be in your shoes once baby girl comes

wendyld · October 2014

@ruemorgan‌ I hope your pup is doing better.

Today is my kiddo's birthday. I can't wait to pick him up from school so we can go to the giant trampoline place and play. He deserves some one on one time with mom.

If you edit the pic like for example crop it (you can do it so slightly that it won't change anything) it will straighten itself

I was with H today at the VA hospital and an old vet in a wheelchair says to my h, damn your girl is fat!! To which a mutual friend responded dude she's pregnant and the guy says oh that explains it. WTF what if I wasn't pregnant? That woulda really hurt my feelings! I wanted to sock the guy but he was in a wheelchair and frail so...

I just shot off an email to my 7th grader's cheer coach due to, yet another, issue with a girl on her squad. I'm getting really fed up with this one little girl bossing my daughter around and, on one hand, I don't want to be that parent that jumps in anytime my kid has an issue. I really think some things need to be handled by the kids, but, on the other hand, I've had it with this girl picking on my daughter. It's to the point where my daughter doesn't even want to go to cheer practice or games anymore. She also said that she doesn't even want to attend the end of year banquet because of the way the squad has been. That makes me so sad because cheer is the one thing my daughter truly loves as an extracurricular activity.

The lovetit was for standing up for your daughter, not the whole bully situation. I remember you talking about her being promoted on the team ( if I remember correctly), I dont want this little bully to ruin that for her!! shes proud of something she does and thats amazing!

And I think its amazing you are there to support her. My parents always stayed out of my conflicts and told me to handle it. Problem was, I didnt have a guide to show me how and I didnt learn how to stick up for myself until I was about 20. Theres nothing wrong with teaching your daughter what is right and wrong.

rowboat4 · October 2014

@Darbie914‌ I also vote for gone girl. I haven't read the book yet but it is on my list and the movie looks really good. I also have a soft spot for Ben affleck.

suzyq0525 · October 2014

I'm feeling really down about my job search. I haven't gotten any of the jobs I interviewed for, and I haven't heard back anything on the teaching jobs that I've submitted applications for. I have spent so much time and effort on finding a job and am getting no where. I just don't know what the hell to do anymore.
