  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. 

  I'm totally with you on this.  It feels like I could be stupid or just fooling myself because I really don't know how I'm supposed to feel.  And these DAMN doctors that don't see you until 10 fucking weeks makes me crazy.  What if there's something wrong?!  What if I'm not really pregnant, but there's something bigger happening?

  
  

  DH made an appointment for next Thursday because he couldn't stand waiting until 10 weeks either.  I'll be 6 weeks and hopefully the doctor can offer a confirmation.

  *edited due to poor context: didn't mean this as a blanket statement.  I have no problems with Christians, just people with holier than thou attitudes.  Lately this board has been getting a lot of "well I'm a Christian and I know the proper way to treat people, and all of you are meanies."  I don't like that shit.

  On the bump if you say someone's name is getting on a post it, it means you are permanently giving them the side eye.

  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 had one of those here near Philly and the ONE time me and some coworkers went for lunch... a SWAT team swarmed the restaurant. Obviously they were selling more than just noodles. lol

  They closed shortly after... but man they were good. I love me some pasta.

  Got food poisoning from a Noodles&Co once Now I just can't.  But I used to be involved in a long-term relationship with their potstickers and that crack sauce that comes with them.  They also get a giant bonus from me because they're one of the only restaurants I know about that has rice krispie treats, the homemade kind, in addition to brownies and lame cookies.  I will knife a bitch for a homemade rice krispie treat.

  Exactly. Proclaiming being a Christian to tell people they are behaving badly. People can be religious, just don't bring it up to tell others how to behave.

  Also, that is part of what pisses me off.  Thank you for bringing that up, @CrazyCornball.  Every religion and culture values being polite and good to one another.  Being a Christian doesn't give you a special ability to be kinder than the rest of us.  You never hear someone say "Well as a Muslim, we should be kinder to one another", it's always "As a Christian".  That's dumb.

  
  

  *edited to add: I'm sorry to anyone who was offended and thought it WAS a blanket statement.  It wasn't   You do you, Christians, and everyone else.
