not sure whether to post this here or the "awkward sexy time" thread, but it fits with the Belly Bra theme: this morning, DH was rubbing my belly then tried for a little more. the elastic on the underside of the Belly Bra is pretty thick and fairly strong, and overlaps with the top of my underwear. DH was trying to nonchalantly slip a hand in, but was clearly befuddled, and it made us crack up.
DH and I watched the episodes of Friends where Rachel has her baby last night - I'm now paranoid that I'm going to have to share a hospital room with someone and that it's going to be awful! At least it gave me something else to ask about when we tour the hospital in a few weeks!

That always made me wonder if that's what my hospital would do! Is have you share rooms like that until they take you. That would be awful! I highly doubt ours does since I haven't heard about it from anyone so let's hope!
There's a couple of threads out there today that have me circling them, clicking in on them, then staring at the comment box for 5 minutes before navigating away. Sometimes I'll type stuff and then immediately delete it. I *want* to say something, but I guess I have no words today :-??

Annnd then you have 85 notifications about that thread and you click on them later, only to be more lost. Same prob!!
Oh, and someone just smashed our car in front of our house and tried to drive off. Neighborhood officer just let know by ringing my bell.
Homegirl who hit the car was rude to the courtesy officer for asking her questions, and is on the phone right now, straight up hiding behind a tree.

She's back there on the phone saying "I effed up. I hit a pregnant lady's car, and tried to run, and got caught. Now she's going to smash me with her belly and raging hormones, and I'll never get to the weekly meeting of douchebaggery in time"
Hi devyns2nd! I am responding to you directly because i am really unhappy with where the thread has gone even though it was my fault for posting in the wrong group and not being more clear with my OP, but regardless. i dont deserve to be laughed at or called crazy.
I THINK i get your story about mushrooms. But if i am wrong correct me, mushrooms is your cat and your husband is allergic and takes benedryl to combat his allergies, right? lol, sorry if i got it all mixed up.
Sadly, my cat allergies are actually really bad and pretty detrimental to my quality of life especially if i am not on meds. due to pregnancy, the doctor doesnt want me taking the meds and my inhaler is one specific for allergies as well but its a steroid. day to day, i am coughing and choking, oftentimes gasping for air. at night i wake up because i literally cannot breathe even though the cats dont sleep in our bed and we have a HEPA filtration system in the house. benedryl isn't an option because it doesnt work for me . and that is just the breathing. the hives, itchy, nasal discomfort and waking up with my eyes sealed shut from mucus is a whole separate issue.
As of present, the doctors repeatedly advised relocating the cats because my bloodwork reveals intense inflammation and other indicators of chronic allergies. We all know the source are our cats. I have moved out of our home and in with my parents a couple of towns away. i only run back to get clean clothes and what not. my husband goes to our house everyday after work to feed the cats and change out their litter. that is what our life has become. i am literally driven out of my home.
I dont want to rehome my cats if my husband is going to resent me later and unable to come to terms with it. he has had the cats for 3 years more than he has had me so when it is a battle of numbers, the cats win. i left the decision entirely up to him at this point and so far he thinks me staying at my parents will work and i can complete my pregnancy there and when i am done or unable to breastfeed i can come back home and go back on meds. sick, right? on the inside, i feel pretty rejected. but i understand that growing up, my husband came from a household where his parents were always fighting and his sister was cruel to him and he retreated to their household pets for love and attention. he had a messy home life. on the outside it was beautiful, he had it all. privileged, handsome, young boy with a bright future but on the inside, it was a disaster. so part of me understands his attachment to the cats, but part of me wishes i came first and that there would be zero resentment. he says i come first, but he wants to keep the cats and finding every possible way to keep them home. this does not make me happy.
with that said, he did reach out to a former college roommate that co-raised the cats when they were kittens and this friend said he was pretty sure he could take the two boys in and if he could, he can do it short term or long term, no questions asked. it isn't a 100% guarantee, but it is better than nothing! he wants the cats to come back home after i am done or unable to breastfeed but it then causes issues with my parents being unable to come over to assist with child care.
how i feel about it? if our friend takes the cats in, i feel that it should just be long term because it isn't fair to move them back and forth and it also isn't fair to me because it means i have to go back and spend a lot of money on allergy therapy when we really cant financially do that with a child on the way. perhaps if we had a lot of disposable income and i can pay for a housekeeper to come over multiple times a week i would concede but that is just not our situation.
arg, sorry for the long note, our situation is just very complicated and there are so many factors and i am not good with providing a quick short answer, clearly! so i am still overall sad about everything with my situation as is and pretty upset that i am being called crazy and laughed at on a thread i created. but i guess, no one really cares about my health or my feelings at the end of the day so i will just have to recognize it now and expect nothing from others.
So I went back and found the cats thread. Took me FOREVERRRR to read it all since somehow I missed it all. That thread is bat shit crazy! Holy moly! It was definitely a good read before bed lol Hope I never miss out on something like that again
Holy crap, has she gone into writing yet? She missed her calling. You literally talked about cooking mushrooms and eating them. How did she make that into a metaphor. I can't
@mellymar Yeah and they said the baby "turned breech" ........ A baby that big.... I think more than likely was breech to begin with when the labor started. I'm not an expert but...... Sounds legit.
feeling really sad with DH because he didnt want to get frozen yogurt while we were out of town (no place for it in our area) and now that we're home he doesnt want to get blizzards.. and the DQ is across town and i dont drive
Wow @devyns2nd I'm so glad you posted that! It was like finding that last rouge French fry in the bottom of the bag! You just can't help but get all excited!
Wow. I stayed up super late last night reading the boards... And woke up today to realize I basically read, liked, then summarized @MrsWiggleWaggle 's post on the Baby Showers thread, totally believing it was my own idea. Oy, sorry lady! Lol, you had great points :-\"
@amark11 I'd be a hypocrite to get all indignant. I actually think you helped clarify what I meant. Some people get pretty cranky with the idea of present lovers as greedy gus's (maybe I have a Christmas complex who knows ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ ). Besides I totally reused a confession about @colosun 's screen name! And I was the one who started the thread! I thought I was soooo clever! Karma in action!
Today my beloved grandfather would have turned 97! He died on September 24th, and I am hoping LO is a boy so we can use Grandpa's name. He was a spy in WWII, married to my Grandma for 74 years, and they had three boys. I was the first girl born into the family, and was Grandpa's Girl.
DH and I lived in NY for 8 years to be near my grandparents. When DH got laid off two years ago, he spent the week driving my grandparents around to all their appointments, then worked evenings. He loved Grandpa as much as the rest of us.
Sorry this is long. Just still trying to process it all. Feeling more grateful than anything that we got as much time with Grandpa as we did. He really wanted to live to 103 though, because his mom lived to 102 and he didn't like her so much...
@amark so sorry for your loss! This must be a tough day for you. It sounds like you're spending it remembering good memories, though, and I'm sure that's exactly what your grandpa would want!
In other random news, I was just reviewing our hospital bag thread from back in the day, and noticed that even then there was something going on between June and September - someone made a comment about 'lets not act like the September board!'.
So I couldn't fight my curiosity anymore and checked out this crazy cat thread fiasco everyone was talking about...and all I can think now is holy shit, man! Naturally this lead to me checking out OP's other stuff, which lead to snooping on the S15 board, and basically I fell down the rabbit hole.
My mind is seriously blown right now with how out of touch some of those women seem to be. Especially seeing the users who were banned - I legitimately cannot find a single reason for why they were kicked off thebump! I just have no words. I am so grateful to be a part of this board (where my biggest gripe is the amount of inane threads making it hard for me to keep up with the fun ones). Sheesh!
@amark11 I'm so sorry about your grandpa I have to say though, I love his wanting to make it to 103 to one-up his mom. He sure sounds like a special guy! Maybe if baby is a girl you can find a way to use his name anyway or name her after your grandma since she was such an important part of his life.
Re: Weekly randoms
not sure whether to post this here or the "awkward sexy time" thread, but it fits with the Belly Bra theme: this morning, DH was rubbing my belly then tried for a little more. the elastic on the underside of the Belly Bra is pretty thick and fairly strong, and overlaps with the top of my underwear. DH was trying to nonchalantly slip a hand in, but was clearly befuddled, and it made us crack up.
Seriously, there are so many symptoms posts outside of the Daily Symptoms thread.
Why????? I can't keep up with the damn threads anymore...
to be more lost. Same prob!!
