@jennypm I've been trying to change it in my signature for awhile, and it never changes. I've used the bump ticker generator, as well as lilypie. I even tried deleting the code and it still shows my old one in my siggy. its really frustrating. I've tried to just put pictures in my soggy, but nothing works. i don't get it.

Sorry if you have answered this before, but are you going to the little person on the top right of the page to change your account options? That is where you need to go to change your siggy now.
ETA sorry @jennypm did not see you had just addressed this before me ;-)
You guys, I don't know how many times I've used this prenatal yoga DVD and I just now realized that the instructor is saying "put your hand on your GROWING baby." All this time I was super creeped out because I thought she was saying "Groin baby". Derp derp. Let's chalk that one up to pregnancy brain, shall we?
I just watched the story about the town in Utah that is celebrating the holidays early for a little boy with cancer. Can't stop ugly crying. Omg.
I saw this story on Friday and did the same thing. Then my husband asked why I was crying and I couldn't even tell him without crying. He told me to just not tell him. It is such a sad story.
Good luck to all those who have/had their a/s today! I just finished reading the whole random board and I can't remember most of it...
I had an irrational thinking moment. I picked up a nasty cold and so in using what I can to relieve the symptoms and try to avoid looking like death in front of patients. So I had son Ricola lozenges in my desk, read the ingredients, nothing crazy in them, so I took one. Then started freaking out because within the next hour or two I started getting Braxton hicks, which I haven't had for a couple weeks, and started getting worried. Then I started thinking about the last time I felt the baby move. Oh the ridiculous paranoia! I guess I'm just too exhausted to think clearly. But baby is moving and I think I'm just a little too high strung after all that.
Trying to catch up...caught some nasty virus so I've been home on the couch all day. Hopefully I'm better tomorrow because I really don't want to go to the doctor, ugh.
@megaugust10 haha yes my mom and his mom are going to ours as well. Now the problem with that is my mom doesn't EVER shut up literally ever oh and she is 100% convinced that it is a boy so therfore if they tell us that it's a girl she will most likely tell them to check again. She will also want to ask 28475737727 questions and prob annoy the living hell out of the girl. Oh boy. I have already regretted the decision to invite her.

Lots of a/s today and tomorrow - can't wait to see some good updates!
You guise.... I am half baked today! 20 weeks! Halfway there! (cue Bon Jovi singing "whoaaaaa, I'm halfway there...." accompanied by air guitar) I was not sure I would ever make it to this point! I have to admit that I have not enjoyed being pregnant. Between the vomiting, constant nausea, acid reflux, YIs, weird allergies, UTIs, horrible acne, and near-constant exhaustion, the last few months have been rough on me. I was SO EXCITED to get pregnant and then it took me by surprise how truly crappy I felt. And the crappier I felt physically, the worse my mental state and depression got, especially being off my meds. But, I am so (irrationally) proud that I have made it halfway! So many people have had it way worse than me, and it's silly, but I feel like I have accomplished something. Maybe it's because I have accomplished so little at work in the last few months... haha. Anyways, I am in a good mood. I got a haircut this afternoon and I bought a pint of my favorite ice cream, Half Baked, to celebrate! Yay ice cream! Yay 20 weeks!
I'm getting to the point where I have to rock myself off of the couch. Didn't think that would happen for several more weeks. Oof.
Love-tit because I know exactly how you feel. I have to either grab my legs and pull myself up out of bed, or roll off the side to get up in the mornings. And forget about getting up off the floor.
I find myself grabbing onto the side of the mattress to help turn over at night. And my husband hates walking up the stairs behind me because I am soooo slow. lol

I had to tell my husband to slow down on Saturday when we were taking the dogs on a walk. Both he and the dogs were not pleased with my pace. Even my easy-going pup kept whining at me.

To all the sickies like me, feel better! I too am on the couch today @meowkitten and I hope you feel better. I have gone in waves. Sometimes feel better and sometimes bad again. This cough. Bad. I don't want to go to the dr either. Hoping this blows over quick. I don't want to miss another day of work either.
To the ones grunting when changing positions, yep isn't it fun. I swear I'm surprised at how already I'm sort of uncomfortable when bending over.
My random from the couch-can't stop watching the Duggars show. Whyyyyyy? I can't seem to turn it off.
I posted this in the appointment thread but I wanted to post it here b/c it went so well!
Appointment went great! HB was between 140 & 150, which is perfect. Also, while doc was listening to the HB, he kicked and it made a whoosh sound on the doppler which was funny. I've been saying we have a little kickboxer in there!
I'm really glad I chose my doctor. She supports med-free and is pretty flexible when it comes to things like being able to walk around during labor and such. The only thing she mentioned was having an IV just in case they need to do something fast, which is fine with me.
She said as far as delivery is concerned, if there are no complications, she actually prefers letting mom help deliver and then immediately bringing baby to her chest so they can bond right away. They will suction from mom's chest and then cut the cord after all of that is over so baby gets more blood and not too much.
Yay for a great appointment! My next one is Thanksgiving week and I have to do the 1 hour GTT.
So i completed a pregnancy milestone today and bought my very first maternity outfit! It really actually sucked lol i assumed the the Motherhood Maternity Outlet Store would be a little less expensive than the prices i was seeing online WRONG! It was not and i bought exclusively off of the sale rack lol i absolutely hate shopping to begin with but figured that it would prob be a little inappropriate to wear sweatpants to Thanksgiving Dinner so i caved and got something. So anyway there was a plus to this...They had a thing where if you joined their free "perks" program you got a year of Parenting Magazine, American Baby Magazine and a goodie bag for 2.99$ score! In this little goodie bag we got our very first bottle and a jar of "Beach Nut" food which my SO is now excited to try haha

I am so exhausted. My toddler who slept through the night most nights for about 7m is now waking up 3-5 times a night. WTH?? We are going on a month of this now, and I am so done.
DH, SS, and I are over the moon to find out we are having a boy I was hoping for a girl, so we would have one of each, but I am just so so happy about my little boy I won't post his penis picture, but I will show you his cute face and feet ❤️
My MIL just emailed me asking for a "Wish List" for DD1. Because DH's family asks for a list every year, I've been keeping an Amazon Wish List for DD. Every year I'm criticized for not having enough on a list, for not having diversity in prices, or types of gifts, etc. So I send her a list of 15 items for DD ranging from $2 to $130.
She forward me a message back from a family member who is calling "dibs" on one of the items, and I scroll down to read the message that MIL included and it says, "Someone's a little grabby this year..." And she emailed that to her entire side of the family. I'm mortified. I HATE that they ask me for a list every year. It makes me so uncomfortable.

I mean... I can't win. I can. not. win.
The love-tit is to commiserate. I've given up and just make completely generic lists with ideas and sizes. Anything more and I get criticized for being grabby and too specific, anything less and it's not enough.
But how dare she add that last bit and then send it on to the family? So rude!
I keep an Amazon wish list for E and that shit is extensive! I put whatever I feel like on it because it is mostly to remind ME of things I'd like to buy her. I don't send anyone a list, people can search for it if they're so inclined. I tell them she has an Amazon wishlist and how they can find it if they ask what she would like. They can't say it is grabby because it isn't geared towards any individual, it is MY list.
Fuck her for saying that. You really should call her out. She asked for a damn list.
Oh, I did. I immediately followed-up with an email saying, basically, "MIL, this was your request, you know how uncomfortable it makes me feel to create a list at all, and you know I don't send this as a "demand" that others buy this for E. This was just providing you options, per your request."
She replied with, "Oh no, this is perfectly, exactly what we needed!" So I show DH and he insists that I'm taking the comment out of context, and that it was a quick one line at the beginning of an email and she was trying to be funny, referring to DD as being "grabby" not me. Buuut... I think anyone with common sense reads it as a knock against me. Whatever. Moving on. Trying to not be overly sensitive.
I don't think you're being over sensitive here, I think you're spot on. She's just backtracking and he's trying to smooth things over. I think it's a pretty shitty thing that she did.
I forget who mentioned making cajun chicken pasta for their DH but I've been thinking about it ever since and was wondering if you could link the recipe? I've found a few online but not sure if it's the same one.
I don't have a link but I can tell you how I make mine!
4 chicken breast cut up and thrown in the pan with some butter. Add Cajun seasoning, garlic and the white end of green onions. Cook until browned then add a can of stewed tomatoes.
Boil some pasta (I use shells because DH thinks he is 5 )
Mix together pasta with Alfredo sauce (I'm guilty- I get store bought)

I'm glad you stood up for yourself! That's some serious bull. Even if she was joking around, I'd be pissed. I have MIL who says awkward things and I've gotten very annoyed. Normally she is quite sweet but she makes comments that are judgmental and/or that she thinks are funny but are not. H used to make excuses for her, and sometimes still does, but he gauges my anger first now.

@EmpireRecords24 ugh dude that sounds like my in laws. Maybe not my MIL but definitely my SIL. She'll set everyone's budget for the year without consulting anyone and then go over it every.single.time making all of us feel like asses for not getting her family more. I agree, sometimes you just can't win. I'm glad you emailed her back and respectfully stood up for yourself. She's probably so technologically challenged she didn't realize she left her shitty comment in the email thread.

She sends you a budget of what you should spend on HER family?

Being sick while pregnant should be illegal.
