Veteran's Day Spamabama

Paleomama · November 2014

Thank you guys for all the support today. I will let you guys know what's up next Thursday. They also told me I could not have chocolate which I thought was kind of weird but I guess it is because it has caffeine too. My mom had just baked me some brownies too. Dh won't let them go to waste

triplej9 · November 2014

@psychobutthead FX that you and baby are both ok!

kismetjess · November 2014

Today, I hate my job.

TIA. Have a good night, ladies.

Do you get them this quick. My doctor won't have them until tomorrow afternoon.

He told me they'd be on the Online Lab Result portal today, but so far, nothing.

I did have a bunch of other bloodwork done too (Chemistries, CBC, other titers because they were borderline earlier, etc.), so I'm wondering if that is the cause of the delay.

So this is just me being lazy, but I'm not missing a third update on Elephants thread am I? How is that still active? There is like 150 unread messages for me.....

Also WINE NIGHT IS TOMORROW! I'm so pissed, this jacks my whole schedule and I have to wait another night for my kettle corn. Boo hiss.

Woohoo! Got my start date for my new job! I'm down into the double digit days left in my pregnancy! I'm now a Jamberry consultant! AND my Etsy Store views are starting to pick back up! I'm sooooooooooo excited! Things are looking good for hubby and I now! ::Snoopy Dance:: \:D/ <:-P
Congrats! My Etsy views skyrocketed on Sunday. Yesterday and today its been like half It's so unpredictable sometimes.

I've found that the more updates I make (new listings, etc). the more traffic increases.

Yea this! I need to restock my shop back up over 100 items to be more searchable. I've noticed the increase in views came right around the time I added two new listings so I think that has something to do with it.

@Ellteejay‌ oh snap I have mine tomorrow and nobody mentioned to me that I needed to watch carbs/sugar beforehand. Hopefully I do ok. GL on yours!!

I wasn't told to limit my carb/sugar intake before my test. I was just told I needed to fast 12-14 hours beforehand. Man I carb-loaded like crazy the night before. I had a hankering for homemade sugar cookies so I baked literally all day just so I could pig out that night! I'll keep my FX for you and @Ellteejay‌ that you both pass! I did!

Has anyone seen that Progressive commercial with the terrifying ventriloquist dummy? Ella just saw it on in the background while eating her dinner and had a complete meltdown. Bawled her eyes out, couldn't finish her dinner, wouldn't go back in the main room of our house until the TV was turned off. Eff whoever came up with that ad, I can almost guarantee she will have nightmares tonight.

I just had my test this morning, and I don't even know when I should be expecting my results...I figure if I haven't heard anything in a couple of days I will give them a call. Guess I should have asked.

I am dreading the results. I don't want them to take my jellybeans away.

I am SO not caught up on the spam threads, but I wanted to share an awesome deal I found on the City Select Stroller at Buy Buy Baby since I know a lot of you mamas are looking at buying it.

Would y'all prefer I post it here or start a new thread so more people can see it? I can't even remember what our baby bargains thread was called or I'd just post it there.

ETA: OR have I been hiding under a rock, and you all already know about it???

Info, please!

twinklymama · November 2014

@psychobutthead‌ @CatLadyTX‌ awww that so sucks!

It's a chili day here. And I plan on eating ALL THE CHEESE.

I had those at the beginning of pregnancy, but yes. Mostly they were retesting titers of my vaccines and my Rubella was borderline low last time, so they are rechecking it.

Ugh YES!!! I hate that commercial! So freaking creepy. Progressive commercials already annoyed me but this one is definitely the worst. Poor Ella :-( give her some extra snuggles and send progressive the bills for her trauma therapy :-P but seriously I hope she feels better soon and won't remember the creepy dummy tomorrow

Thank you dear. I am just hoping she isn't scared tonight. DH is reading her bedtime stories as we speak. She was asking for Mommy and Daddy's bed for cuddles earlier. Poor thing.. stupid Progressive.

foxslaw · November 2014

Had a really long, arduous work day so I am now just now getting to the spam thread, holy mother of Christ, six pages?!? Anyone want to sum it up for me? Haha. Mostly kidding. Hope everyone had a great day!

Aww poor Ella!!!!

That puppet would freak me out, and I'm an adult! Hope she doesn't suffer too long from being traumatized by that dang commercial. There was a ventriloquist on Sesame Street once, and neither DD was having it. I had to turn off the show. Why would people think those puppets are kid-friendly??

Yeah, I got tested for it at the beginning and again today.

You guys, I think I might cry. I just broke the scale. Literally. I stepped on it and it cracked. I called my husband crying and made him promise to never bring it up again, but the big fat pregnant chick just broke the fucking scale. FWIW, it was 8 years old and didn't have the accurate weight on it anyway, I just use it to see if I'm staying consistent. I feel like such an ass.
Now to go drown my sorrows in a bowl of ice cream, because I'm not already enough of a cliche today.

Is it mean that I laughed when I read this? It sounded like something that would happen on Friends. It sucks when it happens, but it will be a hilarious story to tell later! I'm sure that the scale broke because it was old. Don't feel bad about getting bigger--your body is supposed to be getting bigger, lady! I hope you enjoyed your ice cream. Baby needs calcium. ;-)

Whaa? Everyone? Is this common? I have never heard this even mentioned by any of my OBs or midwives in the practice.

Since DH and I have literally only ever been each other's partners, we will NOT be tested for HIV.

triplej9 · November 2014

@twinklymama We went to Buy Buy Baby last night to look at the City Select Stroller and test drive it. They have a deal in store only where you get a second seat FOR FREE when you buy the stroller in the month of November! This is a huge deal since an extra seat costs you $169!

Needless to say, I will be snatching this deal up. The main reason I have seen people posting about this stroller is to use it as a double, so I thought I would share!

This is completely random, but have any of you ladies who have purchased from Pink Blush needed to return/exchange anything? How do they handle shipping for that? I just don't want to be on the hook for shipping if something isn't working out (I ordered from H&M a couple of weeks back and had to send the entire order back, it cost me $12 total for shipping and I didn't even get anything out of it!).

@musicgirl524 I've returned things. Basically, you have to log in to your order, check which items you are returning and it will give you a FedEx label to print off and attach to your package. They deduct shipping costs from the amount you get credited for your return. You could also choose to ship your return through a method of your choosing and then you'll just pay that and not have anything removed from your return amount.

ETA: I still believe you have to log in to check what you are returning even if you ship your own way.

Common where I live to be tested twice. I'm sure you have nothing to worry about, but there are other ways to transmit HIV other than sex. Better to be safe than sorry! Even if it is about a 0% chance that you have it.

It is really weird. Something new they are doing. When I was pregnant with Aidan they did not do it. Just another thing they have decided to test pregnant women for.

krysmill · November 2014

Sorry haven't been on spam all day but I thought I'd share my misery with all of you. My dog just got SKUNKED!!

( She smells so bad and now my house smells so so bad!!

Alygohome · November 2014

No way I can catch up on all this spama lama. I was up at 5 am to go hunting in -20. My husband pushed me too hard---you think at 27 weeks pregnant he would take it easy on me. Finally I told him screw you and started taking lots of breaks. The snow was up to my knees and I was carrying a gun and I have a basket ball strapped to my stomach. After I started resting I actually had fun. Hiked for like 4 hours through the snow then came home and crashed for like 3 hours. I only ate a bagel all day and woke up sick and hungry. I hate to say it but I think maybe I am just a little too pregnant to be hunting still. *sigh* hope everyone else had a good day. I'll try and get into the spam earlier tmrw so I know what's going on.

That sucks my dogs always get sprayed too ! We keep skunk smell stuff from the vet on hand because it happens often. Do you have tomato juice or something you can try? Poor smelly pooch.

krysmill · November 2014

@Alygohome‌ I have no tomato juice. My DH washed her with a peroxide soap mixture and then washed her a couple times with my Honest Co. shampoo. She got hit right in the face. She smells ok not as bad as I thought she would. Going to the vet tomorrow to see if they have anything we can bath her with again.

psychobutthead · November 2014

baby is fine. my knee is throbbi.g and my.foot and toes on that side are swollen. im pissed because when i asked about my leg i was told by them to go to the er afterwards. my leg was the whole reason i called myobs office in the first place.

HailsMom · November 2014

@psychobutthead‌ glad LO is good, sorry to hear about your knee and foot!

psychobutthead · November 2014

CogDis · November 2014

@Alygohome‌

What were you hunting? I'm going to be so jealous if you say, "moose". I'm craving moose stew like crazy!

Mmm

I've never hunted but I'm pretty thankful of those that do!

Alygohome · November 2014

@cogdis I have a white tail tag but my husband was hunting antlered moose. Sucks cause we gaveny gotten anything yet and we only usually eat wild meat! Was a rough winter for winter kill last year
