Though I failed to read every post to the spam thread today, I read flutter's update earlier and took a break because I really am without words. I am in awe of her strength and poise during such a trying time. I cannot imagine what she is going through.
And I also am speechless over the outpouring of love and support from everyone on here... I know my guy side eyes me for spending so much time on here... But there really is a beautiful community of sisters-in-stretchy-pants here and I am so grateful to be a part of this group.
@Alygohome Please send me the PO Box info and recommended amount and I'll send something in the mail tomorrow. After having an awful day, my perspective has changed dramatically and I am off to have a quiet night being appreciative for what I have.
It is truly amazing to me how close one can feel to a group of women we've never actually met. It really truly does put things in perspective and I am in awe of the strength of the women of this board.
So.....I have to do my GD test in a week now instead of in the next 4 weeks because my blood pressure was a little high today compared to where I am at normally. And I know why, its all the money and job stress I've been under this week and the fact that our landlords decided to call me up and scream at me right before my appointment today didn't help, and is probably what caused it today. But they want me to have a hypertension blood test done at the same time I get my GD test done, which needs to be done within the week. I'm pissed and upset now.
On a brighter note, baby is still measuring on schedule and her heart beat is measuring at 160 beats per minute. So at least my stress is not affecting her in any way right now.
@Alygohome can you send me your Po box too? I'm a little late, but I'd like to contribute.
Also, does anyone still need a labor buddy? @herhighness and I are buddies but we are due kinda close together towards the start of Feb. If there is someone due at the end of feb who wants to join us, PM me.
Ill drop my card in the mail next couple days. Does anyone know how many US stamps ill need to send to canada. I know there is little we can do but i know that cards and messages helped me cope.

I was going to ask the same thing! Thanks for posting it.
Days like today make me want to punch every BC troll (and any other troll) in the damn face. You want to come over here and start stupid shit for stupid reasons...and we have ladies actually dealing with major shit. It makes me sick, and incredibly angry.
How many of the crazy posts were actually babycenter trolls, vs just the whole mods taking a break thing? I kinda just assumed it was all AEs stiring shit up.?

@Alygohome I'll PM you, too- would like to send a card/ little something. Thank you for the way you've been there for flutter, it's such a heartbreaking time.
@Alygohome I would like to send something too if it's not too much trouble.
Same here if you can PM me
I would like to send a card too, I got a little lost, are we sending cards to Aly or right to flutter? And I'd contribute some money if you still need more.

For flutters privacy we are sending to Aly. She will send one big care package to the address flutter gave her.
PM Aly for her po box to send cards.
Donations are accepted but a few dollars is plenty since so many are contributing. -quote fail All this. Pm me since it's hard to keep up on the tags. I will message you my box. Once I get everything I will send a big package to flutters parents address ( she doesn't currently have a mailing I can use) I will post when I send it. The necklace takes about 3 weeks, once I mail it a it should he 3/4 days unt she gets it.
I am about to lose my shit on this troll. I can't ban her because she hasn't gotten enough warning, but man these are nights it's tempting to flex that mod-abuse muscle.
@herhighness, you're a bad person. No chocolate has entered my system yet, I will prove to you I do have *some* self control left in me.
There seems to be a lot of new folks on the forum lately. Combined with the weird trolling from the weekend, I'm left a bit skeptical who's real and who's not, esp when silly or tongue-in-cheek situations were posted and random WKing. Not sure about other ladies, the absolute last thing I want to do is to join a FB now.
This! I got Shug's AE thread, but then had a hard time understanding WTAF was happening all weekend...and spilling into today. I feel like I completely missed something. I didn't even participate this weekend because of all the bullshit dumbass posts on my first page (I have posts sorted by post date, not most recent comment). I feel like I need cliff notes. Are these people all BC trolls, random newbs or AE of regs?
Alygohome
I would love to help.
Also, I put together a group of donations a few years ago for a bumpie who lost her son. Everyone sent the money through paypal. I bought the gift and a card and signed it from everyone. Then I took pictures so everyone could see what we sent. HTH
