I am sitting at my desk wondering when I can leave, I have no desire to be here right now and would rather go home sit on the couch in my PJ's watch trashy tv and eat a big ol bowl of pasta...
Don't judge me
:-S

There is a new resturant popping up around here called Noodles & Company and I am struggling to not go every day and eat my weight in delicious carb filled amazing pasta... AAAHHHH! Google them and see if you have one near you... you're welcome.

We have one being built.... not slated to open until January!!!!

ETA, Google sucks..... there are more then one but they are an hour away. closest open in January

@babycarb & @laurnaneedscoffee I already love you both! Post about everything!

I was at the end of August with my first's due date and I didn't post and never became part of the community / group. I 100% regret it.

Awwww thanks! And DUDE. Why didn't I plan the timing better!? WHAT was I thinking?

slweaver0626 · November 2014

I'm listening to Christmas music on my iPod to keep from killing others.

Another FFFC I had to google what Veuve Cliquot was...
It is the nectar of the Gods.

I'm not a huge wine drinker... is it sweet? I am a naive wine drinker and always choose a moscato.

Veuve Cliquot is champagne. It's dry (aka, not sweet) and bubbly. It's a completely different beast than moscato!

My confession: I'm sort of sad that my due date is at the end of the month. For a very illogical reason. Most of you will have already gone through the exciting stuff, so by the time it's my turn to share exciting stuff, y'all will probably be bored like:

_____________________________ This is me too. I'm due on the 20th. I haven't even posted a proper intro yet because I wanted to wait for a heartbeat but I'm feeling like the other Ladies will be posting about their showers by then. #CaseOfTheSads Edit because quote fail.

Funny how just a few weeks makes a huge difference! I feel LIGHT YEARS away from the July 1-8 ladies!

Not true! The Good "Bad Apples" that stick around for the long haul will be just as supportive to the early babies as we will with the end of monthers!! We will have become like a little family by then and be excited to see everyone's freshies!! And if anything, being at the end of the month lets you see all the different birth stories and know all the different circumstances that can arise!!

murph317 · November 2014

@JustinsLovo now I'm drooling. AND they are opening a Noodles & Co. in a town about a 30-40 minutes away from me!! I don't see a date yet, but once it's open I am definitely going to give it a go! Now I want pasta....

Feegan · November 2014

Last night I purposely suggested KFC for dinner so that I could feel gross and get out of sex. I am leaving tonight for the weekend to visit friends which means I get to successfully avoid sex until Sunday when I return, which I'm already planning to avoid by saying I'm too tired from the trip.

I feel like I need to cry but haven't been able to for days. I'm "working" from home today. Anyone have any suggestions for a sure-fire tearjerker to watch?

@wineandwalter‌ I can send you a screenshot of my online banking account balance.

DecemberGirl1216 · November 2014

My Mom constantly post those passive aggressive ecard pictures on facebook and I find it so very embarassing. They make her sound like she is hostile/aggressive with a bad attitude problem. She is also the person who posts in all caps a lot. She will "friend" my friends who are my age for whatever reason so they see all the nonsense she posts. I have unfollowed her before and will probably again. Ugh.

jessegirl30013 · November 2014

My dh thinks i am lying or overreacting on all my symptoms. Basically because i have cut down sex time alot since i found out. Little does he know my symptoms are ten times worst then i am even letting on. And i dont want to have sex because i am deathly afraid of miscarring.

DUDE. We have the same mom apparently. Except mine "likes" EVERY comment from my friends on my facebook page. Also, she changes her profile picture and cover photo like 3 times a week.

LadyAnnibal · November 2014

My FFFC is that I don't want to tell anyone I'm pregnant but I feel obligated to tell my family because even though they aren't supportive (they hate my SO and his son) I know they would be super butt hurt if I didn't.

DecemberGirl1216 · November 2014

@babycarb‌ I so commiserate with you! Glad I am not the only one whose Mom is acting a fool on FB, lol.

Maybe they deserve to stay in the dark for a while if they're gonna be unsupportive. That'll teach 'em. Or not. Sorry about that situation though.

catahoulatte · November 2014

All I got from this thread was that I'm mad there isn't anywhere I can go to get hash browns around here and by the time I go home this afternoon it will be long after chik fil a stops serving breakfast.

LadyAnnibal · November 2014

@babycarb I haven't decided if I'm gonna reveal on Christmas after the first ultrasound or like...Valentine's Day when we know the sex. It really depends on how big I am by Christmas. I only weigh like 95lbs wet. ):

gnarlyaccess · November 2014

I've been letting my DD watch cartoons almost all day lately bc I'm just too exhausted to play with her AND take care of the house. And on that note, I still have 3 weeks of laundry piles scattered throughout the house. Nothing is getting done these days.

I very much dislike Noodles & Co, but now I want to make buffalo mac'n'cheese for dinner.

I'm wearing black socks and black ballet flats with my jeans today. I'm embarrassed but it's too cold to not wear socks, and skinny jeans with boots were just not even an option this morning.

But why?! Do I want to know? I'm scared you will say something disgusting and now I don't even know if I want to click "post reply" but I must. I need to know why ?!

@justinslovo Nothing super gross! I just haven't found anything I love there. Almost like too much variety so nothing is exceptional. Generic Italian dish, generic Asian dish, etc. For a quick lunch of carbs and cheese, I'd much rather go to Qdoba and stuff my face with loaded nachos.

I want those nachos.

abcdefghijk12345678 · November 2014

cookiesandwine said:
Yup I'm going there for lunch. It's decided.

Jealous. I have never been to Qdoba, and the closest one is 45 minutes away. Maybe eventually I will make it there!

Oh my god, thirty seconds ago I was dry heaving and now I'm desperately searching the internet to see if there's a Qdoba near me. There used to be one right outside my office when I worked in DC and I haven't had one of their amazing quesadillas in FOREVER.

intensivepurposes · November 2014

FFFC: I'm spending an unnerving amount of time feeling sorry for myself because the hubs and I recently relocated across the country and I have no friends or family nearby and will therefore probably not have a baby shower, but of course I'll have to act like this is fine by me because I don't want to look like a spoiled brat. But I didn't have a bridal shower for the same reason, and I had a low-key wedding because I didn't want to ask people to travel, and my inner toddler is going I WANT I WANT I WANT. This isn't the first grandkid in the family and I'm just so afraid that nobody is going to make a big deal about it. Nobody makes big deals about stuff in my life. Whiiiiiiine.

SlurpeeLove · November 2014

I got to work an hour late and then perused the Baby's R Us website for 2 hours.

I have zero motivation today.

@wineandwalter my husband sent me a news story with a video clip of a man whose wife died during child labor and child died shortly later and he sang a song to his child. Here's the link

Seriously, I didn't even look at it. There's your crying material.

lilly1096 · November 2014

I've been laying on the couch since the kids went to school this morning, I fully intend to stay here all day.

slweaver0626 · November 2014

Jumping on the nacho wagon! The mexican food truck from my FAVORITE place will be here today. I'm def going to brave the snow and get some nachos.

The same thing happened to me with a bridal shower (all my bridesmaids and family lived out of town so everyone else assumed someone else did something and actually no one did anything) and I thought it was going to happen again with a baby shower since I was new to the area and didn't have any close friends and no one offered to do anything. But lo and behold, at like 37 weeks I ended up being thrown 2 really nice events for a baby shower, so you may be surprised. Good luck!

This is my favorite dish from Qdoba. I am super bummed that the Qdoba near me closed down

petrichor14 · November 2014

I have this irrational but persistent fear that I am not actually pregnant. I am convinced that I am going to go for my ultrasound on Monday and they are going to tell me there's nothing in there, and everyone is going to look at me like I faked the whole thing on purpose or I'm some kind of idiot.

I think it's because this baby is such an abstraction right now- the only evidence of it's existence is a line on a pregnancy test (okay, 5 or 6 of them) and my symptoms (which are subjective and not visible to anyone else.) I also have a number of friends who have experienced losses, one very recently, and so I've been very acutely aware of how tenuous the whole situation is and how it could all end at any moment. I feel like I can't start to plan for this or buy anything or think about this baby as a reality until I have more proof that it is.

It just doesn't seem real. And I'm scared that it actually isn't.

abcdefghijk12345678 · November 2014

FFFC: I'm enjoying playing with the BSC posters when they have their meltdowns. It brings back fond memories of my time on TTGP!

I've only had sex with dh twice since we got our bfp. Sorry dude.

Same here. :-<

Same boat as you guys. I'm just not feeling it.

MigdaliaRose · November 2014

I just nodded off for a few seconds at my desk and had a mini-dream that I went home early and slept. I guess I can add exhaustion to my symptoms now, lol.

I still haven't since the day after IUI. I was getting my sex drive back and then the nausea hit. Sigh. We'll see how I feel on Sunday.

oh ladies..I'm on the same boat...with an exception that I told my husband that an orgasm spasms in my uterus could basically kick out the baby/babies....no sex since 3 weeks now...and counting lol.

I couldn't have said it better myself. It felt SO much more real with DD. I think it's because this time I haven't told anyone, so it really is just DH and me with this news. Last time, we told all of our parents and close friends pretty much immediately. I'm hoping that after my doctor's appointment (in 2.5 weeks- GAHHHH) that it'll feel more real. I'm totally with you!

MisSmartyPants · November 2014

I feel like I'm taking advantage of people by having them do things for me...since I'm pregnant and should take it easy....

I love watching it go down, so play away!

Don't feel sad. There are plenty of us who are due towards the end of the month and even more might join soon as the end of the month ladies are just finding out now that they are pregnant. :-) I'm due around the 25th although I could go to labor sooner as I think I might be preggo with twins.

bethc3 · November 2014

I didn't want to put on pants today but naked isn't in our dress code. How lame! I could fall asleep at any moment & I have no desire to do anything at all!

It was pajama day at DH's school. I was irrationally angry and jealous that workplaces don't do this.

I'm irrationally jealous of these early US appointments. Mine isn't until Dec 10 and I'm pouting hardcore.

That's my date too! WTF...soooooo far away.
