@cheekers2010! I live near Seattle and our power was out all night and some of the morning. I'm glad our storm didn't get in the way of your weekend plans!

Edit: words are hard
The NW got its ass kicked this weekend. I think they were trying to get power on in parts of Portland at dinner time.

how the heck did I miss all this? I was downtown Seattle.

Not only did we lose a hunk of fence we went a whole evening without cable or internet. It was tragic

It sounds tragic! Lol. Got home tonight. Nothing down in our neighborhood. Phew! I was a little worried because I had no idea if anything had happened at our house. I have inspected our fence yet, though. We'll see in the morning.

@katehgee it really is good for milk supply :-) gotta go with Dr. recommendations.

BrainCellSup · October 2014

@Hufflepuff42‌ Sorry to hear about your cousin.

I'm also a fan of stouts/porters. I hope to do the best by my child in terms of breast feeding by indulging in my favorites this winter. How I've missed beer!

irish2014 · October 2014

@katehgee‌ @AnonnAni‌ @BrainCellSup‌ I've heard this research too - clearly, we are only trying to do the best for our LOs

the fact that I adore stout is just a perk, of course

We also have Yuengling AND New Glarus in my fridge (neither of which they sell where I live, people visiting brought them) and it is KILLING me... Lols

rshamos · October 2014

I'm not a beer girl, has anyone heard about wine being good for the milk? Or is it just good for the mom?

rshamos · October 2014

Also, this morning, Hodor 2.0 had 666 posts. Happy Halloween!

abcmom12 · October 2014

@Misskilljoy, glad you're back home and everything is ok!

So my Sprinkle/Shower was this Sat and it was the most depressing thing ever. I cried for like 20mins in the shower when I got home and on and off afterwards for another hour. Thankfully DH took DD out to dinner so I had some downtime. My MOM wanted to throw this for me yet Friday night I decorated my own diaper cake that she insisted "making" me - all she'd done was wrap the diapers into the rings. Sat morning, two hours before, I cut/prepped all the veggies, made two kinds of tea sandwiches, frosted & sprinkled the cupcakes, laid out some salty/sweet snacks and decorated the table. She spent this time mixing punch and ironing her shirt; Fri she made the brownies and cupcakes from box mixes.

Of the 6 ppl who could come (the others had totally legit excuses), my aunt & uncle were sick with a cold, my BF was 20mins late due to errands and arrived under an allergy pill haze which she was sorry for but totally out of it most of the afternoon. She wasn't her bubbly self and I felt bad for her. My neighbor & daughter were an hr late and never texted, so I did when I was worried something might have happened and the last guest never showed cause she was in the ER with a torn tendon!

The "party" dragged on till 4 and we spent the time just eating & discussing xmas since I'm having a "Christmas baby"...was never more relieved to open my gift and get out of there. What made me ever sadder was not even a card from my parents or grandma I could scrapbook for the baby which is what I really wanted; some sweet words for her to read in the future.

Call me whiny, or that's what I get as a STM, but my Mom was the one pressuring me to have this sprinkle so I agreed, then it's just the worst thing ever. DH made it even better when he said I needed to "make more friends" when I got home and recapped for him! Thanks asshole, why don't I go out every weekend all day and every Fri night while you stay home and be DAD? Maybe then I might have the time to know some more people!

Longer than I intended but I'm totally down still; the only highlight was my dad converted their water table to sand and DD spent 4+ hrs playing with it to her heart's delight.

AnonnAni · October 2014

Is there still no mod or did I miss something?

rshamos · October 2014

@abcmom12 I'm sorry for the horrible day.

@Hufflepuff42 I'm so sorry for your loss.

On the bright side, my dad is coming to the shower! He's a snowbird and was having some issues with his house up north. He thought he was going to have to cancel his flight on Saturday and not make it to the shower on Sunday. He texted me this morning that he can still go!!!!!!!!

abcmom12 · October 2014

where is everyone today?

bowlwoman · October 2014

@abcmom12‌ Sorry that your sprinkle went crappy.

Just checking in on my lunch break. DD1 turned 8 yesterday, so I'm still recovering from the weekend. Also, had my OB appointment today and Baby Q looks great!

RaeChay · October 2014

@Hufflepuff42‌ - my condolences for your cousin. Share your grief if/when you feel you need to.

@abcmom12‌ - sucks about your sprinkle. And your H's comment! I'm nervous that what you described is how my mom's shower will go. I feel awkward and uncomfortable thinking about it already. There's not many people on her side, and for some reason my MIL and SIL may not go...my MIL thinks she's going to host a shower(??) but hasn't tried to set up a date or even broach the subject with me...so she won't be apart of any shower, which I don't think she realizes.

I think I just want it to be December.

rshamos · October 2014

@RaeChay I'm ready for December also. I also am unusually excited to decorate for Christmas/Hanukkah this year.

LO is hiccuping right now.

@CandEChicago‌ What's the point of QFPing a post about someone dealing with a loss? I'd think that'd be the sort of post that a person should have a right to delete without being hassled if she decided she didn't want to put so much out there. I didn't want to mention it in that thread out of respect for staying on topic so here I am in the thread of randomness.

I lurk only in this thread because I wasn't a big fan of what was said when it was started but this rubs me the wrong way. CandE QFPs a lot of things because of all of the ridiculous amounts of MUD we have had on this board. I would absolutely hate for something like that to be MUD, but honestly around here, that's a total possibility. I see nothing wrong with a QFP no matter what the original post is.

Why does it rub you the wrong way? I know the point of a QfP is for MUD and the CandE is unofficial board QFPer, I didn't just get here yesterday. But someone who's really sad asking reasonable questions about grief fresh in the face of a recent death? I dunno even if it were MUD in that instance I'd rather see it deleted by OP.

Because almost every single post ever posted by someone with hardly any points is QFPd, regardless of what is said. In light of the events in the past couple of weeks, it's obvious people will do really weird things for attention on the internet. I highly doubt this girl is making anything up, but in the weird crazy internet instance it is made up and eventually DD, it's now quoted for proof. You, personally, would like to see it deleted if it's MUD but that doesn't mean others don't feel differently. She didn't say anything rude to the poster and she offered her condolences, QFPing isn't rude or disrespectful and the way you called her out here is making it seem like she did something wrong.

Edit for clarification

@leosmom25 Asking a question shouldn't be misconstrued as a call out from me. You may be reading in some negative tone or maliciousness, but it's not there, just a lot of empathy for that OP. You did get it correct that I am not a fan of QFP in this context (or any context of loss, really) and that's just my opinion, clearly others disagree and that's fine. @CandEChicago‌ YGPM.

And this, folks, is how adults on TB have discussions. Thank you for being mature and adult in your responses.

CandEChicago · October 2014

For anyone else that is interested in the QFP.

It was not meant as rude or disrespectul.

In this case I would rather be the person who does the QFP so that it can be easily deleted versus requesting someone else to please remove it (and then it still might not be removed).

Yes I need to have one of the honey apple Strongbow things. Or a Legends of the Fall (cocktail with Jack Daniels honey and apple cider with a cinnamon-sugar rim).

amedbery · October 2014

@bluebird00‌ - for when we reach the other side:

brookey79 · October 2014

@AJIrishMama - Love the pictures

Now all I want is a Strongbow. I had a virgin 3-berry mojito tonight, but it's not the same.

i'd rather have the one I can put ketchup on and eat off of a stick.

I mean, you could bust out the ketchup if that's your thing...

BayCamp · October 2014

Love the theme and you look so cute @AJIrishMama‌

Serunatu · October 2014

I had such a craving for strong ciders right when I found out I was pregnant, I was never a cider drinker, though. I'm definitely going to have one when I can

I've had a very busy weekend and have a very busy week ahead so I'm not sure how often I'll check in.. But I'm thinking of you all, and hope you have a wonderful week!

BrainCellSup · October 2014

Crazy day at work and then a house centipede scare at home--getting in the way of my bumping!

@abcmom12 sorry about the party--hope you have happy dreams of cider tonight and can leave the day behind you.

@AJIrishMama‌ I'm so jealous of your Halloween theme! You guys all look adorable and I want one of those cupcakes, please.

SPEAKING OF QFP GUISE:

"You all are amazing, thank you so much for the advice. It has really helped. I'll just take it day by day and I don't think I'm going back to work until after baby. I think that is the best thing even though I won't get paid. You are all very kind"

K so I know that's not properly QFP'd (I don't wanna intrude on her thread) but the message is the important thing...an infrequent poster called us "ALL VERY KIND."

Take that, hater bishes from BC and pretty much every noob asking about their mucus plug or excruciating pain etc. We are all very kind (not news to me but I do like to hear others admit it).

Anyone ever get a salted caramel mocha from Starbucks? I just had one and the little salt peices on the caramel drizzle on top of the whipped cream is the best part. I don't even care about the actual mocha part

I've been having these this fall and I agree they are scrumptious! They have a nutty taste to me and though I don't usually go for the whipped cream I had it this weekend and yum!

Might need one today--I was up for an hour in the middle of the night, feeling overheated and just not able to sleep. Hello, Tuesday.

Also, my LO is the size of a durian fruit today and I'm finding it a curious choice by whoever made the list to include the food widely hailed as the world's stinkiest as a comparison point.

abcmom12 · October 2014

@AJIrishMama, your sprinkle looks great and I'm glad yours was WAY better than mine!

This is currently my favourite drink! Although I get it without the whip and 1/2 sweet. I think I'll have to have one today because I didn't sleep well last night and we are going to the hockey game tonight.

You know what really grinds my gears? When people makes noises while they eat. The kids I care for all make noises (sighing, hmmm-ing, moaning) while eating and it seriously drives me nuts! I can't stand it.

/rant

A girl I work with glides her fork in my teeth, I can't sit next to her when we eat. Use your damn lips!

*oops, glides her fork on her teeth (while she eats). Not my teeth, that would be really weird.

hoping4aUNICORN · October 2014

@abcmom12‌ sorry your shower was such a mess

hope your doing better today!!

@AJIrishMama‌ you look like you had a great time! Are those your other babies? Because they are gorgeous!!!

I try to keep up with you ladies as much as I can. So here is a question.....
I'm 33 weeks and for the past day and a half baby has stopped kicking my ribs and is now punching the crap out of my vagina and moving his head back and forth down there.... Normal????
Before this I only felt his kicks, now all the movement I get is in my crotch!!! It's just not as socially acceptable to have someone feel him move when he's down there! "Feel my pelvic bone!! He's moving again"
