My random is I'm on my babymoon waking up to the sound of the ocean outside my bedroom in one of the most gorgeous places I've ever been. And all I care about is when the breakfast place opens because I really need waffles-like now.
Right now I'm hanging out as E has her breakfast. K works ten hour days with a god awful commute so I'm always ready for a break by Friday and to see him, but he has started working every other Friday. They aren't as long days, he'll be home around 3, but damn I wanted to sleep in some...
K felt pip for the first time last night! Little bugger is finally starting to move around more!
It's Friday!!! Had a great time with my girlfriends at sushi last night (gasp!), and today is my A/S scan!! Staying positive about the scan, can't wait to see her again! Woot woot!!

@jennypm we're on California's central coast and it's gorgeous. Also sorry for the rough week but I hope everything goes amazing tomorrow at your a/s! @krystaloowho make up shopping! Sephora is a very dangerous place for me lol. Have fun tomorrow! @colleen4019 excited for you too! Good luck today! @racegurl87 aww what kind of pup? And I guess the 4am wake up is preparing you for the baby lol
@saltyfins I am cracking the fuck up at your post! I'm *so* tired of all of the SS name posts lately. There's a board for that! @LesliW good luck today at your a/s! @totesmcgotes I think Angus is cool! @FrecklesInside that's awesome your SO can feel the movement. @minniesasa the waffle struggle is real today. I too am in bed dreaming of waffles
The title of this post made me think of the hot flashes I've been getting. I haven't woken up in a shirt this week because I get so hot and take them off every night! Yesterday at the office I wore a sleeveless top around because I couldn't bear a second in my sweater, it was a really lightweight sweater too. Just me...?
@mwerren - so jealous! We are going out there for our babymoon/BIL's wedding over thanksgiving.
Good luck with dr appts today - @jennypm - I hope the little guy cooperates.
I had an appt this morning and completely broke down in tears. My weight is obscene (30+ lbs already) and my H was practically yelling at me in front of the nurses to tell him what it was. It's so embarrassing. The dr isn't super concerned because of my endocrine issues but told me to cut back on drinking juice. That is about all I can keep down.
We heard the hb on the Doppler - the first appointment that I have had without an ultrasound. It's still pretty cool - I don't have one at home.
@katydid2014 & @Darbie914 hugs mommas! I've suffered a loss in the past and every time I go to the doctor I hope and pray for good news. Stay positive ladies and lots of hugs @Skrittens sorry for the stressful day. Maybe tell husband your weight is none of his business. My husband kept trying to watch my weigh in and finally I had to sit him down and let him know that some things he just doesn't need to ever know.
I'm so happy it's Friday! My parents are taking DD for a few hours tonight so H and I can do something, maybe go out to eat or cuddle up on the couch and watch a movie. And Sunday I'm going with some family to do a paint and sip (though I'll be sipping a diet coke!) and I'll get to paint a cute piece for DD's room so I'm psyched for that!
@FLFishOutOfWater and @katydid2014 - My parents got an RV when they retired 18 months ago. They love it so much. My brother borrowed it to take his family to Big Bend and loved it. So now he has one too. They are all camping this weekend, but we couldn't get a cabin to go with them. I joke to DH that we will have to get an RV just to keep up. I'm only half kidding.
Good luck at appointments today, ladies! Can't wait to hear how they go. Fingers crossed for stubborn - free babies!
@mwerren You can't leave us hanging! Where are you at? Pics definitely appreciated!
@jennypm Sorry your hubby is in a mood. Is he normally like that, or is it a work thing? I hope the time off from work will help him feel in a happier mood.
@FrecklesInside Congrats on the movement. That is really exciting!
@totesmcgotes I know so many people that let their kids pick the name of their next child! Are you guys Scottish? Angus isn't super common here, but I think it's scottish, right?
@Darbie914 Cheesecake bars sound amazing! I've gone through half of a 3 lb bag of tootsie rolls in about a week. I'd been eating healthy this entire pregnancy, then something changed and I've been on a sugar kick. Trying to get off it, but DANG it's hard.
@FLFishOutOfWater Have fun on your trip this weekend. I hope that work flies by, for you. --- what type of camper do you have? The kind you drive or tow? I eventually want to get one, myself. Would love to do trips over to the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, etc
@Skrittens I'm sorry about your husband's behavior. That is pretty embarrassing. Maybe you can talk to him about why that is inappropriate in public? Try not to stress about the weight! Follow your Dr's advice and if he's not concerned, you shouldn't be.
@tunnel Me too! My mom came racing up the other day while I was moving stuff into their attic (we're storing a few things there) that involves walking up three flights of stairs with some semi-heavy lifting. She was concerned I'd developed asthma! I've never had asthma in my life, but boy was it tough to breathe.
@MissyCee I love those!! They are so much fun. Do you know what you'll be painting yet?
((Hugs)) to anyone that needs them, or is having a rough day.
I'm sitting at the lab for my 1 hr glucose test. It went down without a problem, but 20 minutes into the waiting period and I feel a bit like puking. Worried about getting through this now.
So, I'm super excited!! Last night I got to sign my mom and I up for a tour! It's the Christmas market tour (for 9 days) in Austria/Germany/Switzerland! It's not until the end of November/beginning of December, and I have no idea where I'll find cold weather clothes, but I'm so stoked! She's going to be drinking all my alcohol, lol. This is making me particularly happy since I didn't think I would be able to have Christmas this year. I Christmas lights and gingerbread and all things Christmasy!
Hubby still wants to do some sort of trip for Christmas/New years with me (he can't make the Christmas markets, and it's not really his thing). So I'll have to see what's close, and cheap!
@Chunkymonkeylvr Congrats on your baby girl!
@mwerren Jealous, we have not been able to make it to the beach in a very long time.
@FrecklesInside So exciting that your husband was able to feel the baby move! Mine has not been able to yet, and she mostly only moves when he's not around.
My sister is in town, and we are leaving for Disneyland early tomorrow morning! So I will most likely be gone for the weekend; try to keep the crazies away!
@DragonflyDreaming I LOVED the Christmas market I went to in Germany a few years ago. And they had glüebier, hot spiced beer, instead of the more traditional glüvein. It was amazing. I want to go back one day.
@DragonflyDreaming That sounds so amazing!!! Are you doing it through Rick Steves? That sounds like one of the tours his company offers. I have always wanted to go to the European Christmas markets. They look so dreamy.
I'm so excited I've been bouncing off the walls. I think I messaged my hubby 3 times, lol! (I felt guilty that he can't go, and it's quite a bit of money )
It's a company called Trefalgar. I hadn't heard much about it, but apparently it's pretty well known. I'm getting ready to look up the tour company you just mentioned! Need something for me and hubby and I don't feel like 'planning' if possible. So tour company recommendations are greatly appreciated!
It took all my energy to get out of bed this morning and I wish I had just stayed there. First thing I did when I went outside was step in a giant wad of dog shit my husband didn't clean up. Then the new creamer I got made my coffee taste like plastic, I had to throw it away. I guess in the scheme of things these things really aren't that bad, but seriously the shit angered me!
I would like to add that I'm really impressed with all of your abilities to tag more than one person in a comment! I have to concentrate to make sure I spell it right & I don't accidentally tag some random person.
@Skrittens so sorry about the embarrassing situation with your H. I hope you guys can talk about how he made you feel & get to a place where he can be more sensitive/supportive. ::hugs::
@Chunkymonkeylvr was thinking about your Hugh/Huey yesterday when trying to find a boy name! Glad you don't have to stress -- congrats on the girl!! (Hughelle? Hehehe)
The same SS who posted the Tripp/Nikko poll yesterday is back in the baby name board. She changed one spelling, though. She now asking about Niko instead of the awful double k.
My mom and sister arrived with my new car last night. I'm so excited! And they brought a gift from my dad-he bought our little guy a couple of outfits! Huge surprise-cue the waterworks.
I think we might go to the state fair today. We are going to the beach tomorrow.
Ugh I am 18 weeks so I thought hey, I can skip a night of taking diclegis at this point. NOPE. What in the hell, when will I feel decent without diclegis? And now I am letting Disney Jr. babysit my son while I lay on my couch feeling like death. I feel like I am way too far into 2nd tri to still be feeling this way, dammit.
Soooo after the cat fishing in J14 I think I'm going to refrain from posting my face here ever again, and won't be posting any baby pics when he's here. People are fucking crazy and I wish I could delete the pics I've posted so far

@janda426, cat fishing? Good luck to everyone who has appts today! Now that I know I'm having a girl I feel more connected to this baby. I have about ten girl names to narrow down. My dh was disappointed it wasn't a boy and got very excited when he thought he saw a pair of testicles, which were actually part of the spine. But we are both so excited to have a healthy baby. I'm off to a conference today. I'm really just going for the food lol.

Loooong story but huge active poster of a year plus ends up being some unmarried, not pregnant chick using some woman from Swedens pregnancy photos and stole baby pics from some other random lady's FB. Confesses to having a catfish addiction. No thanks. Fuck that
I'm hoping that my husband comes home today after being gone the past 2 weeks. I'm starving because all I ate was a lemon poppyseed muffin before I left for work. I feel like I never get enough sleep during the week. And being as I haven't yet had my A/S, the latest loss thread now has me terrified. Ugh, stupid PgAL brain back in full swing!
I feel the same way.
Even the posts for prayers after a/s with minor problems are freaking me out. My baby had a minor issue & I wasn't too worried, but seeing how worried others are (& how much their docs seem to offer all sorts of follow-up) is making me scared. Intellectually I KNOW there is almost no chance of a real problem, but the worry is contagious. I was doing so well but now I'm like - I want an amnio STAT!!
Even though it's not throat punch Thursday anymore i would still like to say that i would like to throat punch The Bump App. I got logged out of this mother fucker about 246853443 times yesterday. Anyone else having this issue? I can't post or start a new discussion and it won't tell me how many "new posts" there are in a thread. But my home page still tells me that I'm logged in. Ugh so i have to go log out and then log back in just to be logged in WTF? AHHH Fuck You Bump App, Fuck You!!!!!!!!!
In other news. i feel like poop this morning and i have to work all freaking day and i threw up blood this morning. Don't know why or if i should call my doctor. Anyone else get this? Any advice? It was a good bit of blood meh :-/

Mine has been really buggy this week, not updating. Not showing me new posts. Randomly taking me to discussions I didn't click on. Didn't log me out tho.
All the posts about adding unnecessary "y's" into names has me thinking about the middle name that we chose and if it falls into that category.
Please give me your honest opinion about "Brynn." I'm open to other spelling suggestions if it's too off the wall, I really like how it flows with the fn we picked out.
I love Brynn! It is one of those names that actually is supposed to have a y, like Lynn. I know someone from college named Brynn, and I think it's a super cool name.
Edit: I also know a little girl named Brynnlee, and while I normally don't prefer names that seem like two names smushed into one, I do like this one more than I thought I would.
@Darbie914 I'm the junkiest eater ever. I do g have major cravings, but I just give in more to my favorite things. My first pregnancy was all about spicy nacho Doritos and Oreos. This time I can't get enough Twix and Fritos.
@mwerren enjoy your baby moon! After my first vacation to Mexico where the waves basically crashed into the hotel room, I went home to buy a sound machine so I could continue sleeping with waves but I feel you on the waffle.
@totesmcgotes I love name suggestions from the littles. One of the girls I nannied for when I was pregnant with my son always had the silliest suggestions, she was 4 at the time. Her front runner was Kiki for a girl. And she refused any real names for boys because "girls are better." Angus is cool though
@tunnel I am so short of breath all the time. I remember getting like this toward the end of my first pregnancy, but not this early. It is kind of embarrassing.
@racegurl87 I believe that is a traditional way to spell Brynn, and doesn't sound made up.
@Chunkymonkeylvr congrats on baby girl!!! I can't remember if you had girl names in mind..??
Good luck to everyone with appointments today!!
First random for me is that my poor boy has such a bad cold. How bad you ask? He just took the aspirator and sucked his own snot out, correctly. Oh and he's not even 2.
Also, I took a video of LO's heartbeat at my last appointment since DH couldn't make it. My son loves the video so much, he grabs my phone and asks for "baby?" And he bounces along to the sound of his sibling's heartbeat. I can't even take the love, so cute!! And now he wants to kiss my belly before he goes down for sleep and naps. I hope he loves the baby this much when LO actually gets here.
I have been so gassy the past few weeks that I feel sorry for my baby for having to hear my insides rumbling 75% of the day. After lunch it must sound like a freight train in there!
Re: I'm too sexy for my shirt. So sexy it hurts (Random)
Good luck to all of you with appointments today!
@jennypm I hope baby cooperates!
