Many of my favorite ladies on here are people who I would stereotype and ignore/write off, in real life. I also totally judged "regulars" when I first found this board, and thought they needed to get a life. I get self righteous about being a tolerant, accepting person, but maybe I'm not really as tolerant as I'd like to believe.
I am learning to judge less, and am so inspired by the thoughtful and eloquent posts here that represent totally different viewpoints than I have. Thanks for teaching me these lessons, ladies!
I am so angry all the time since I've become pregnant. It probably doesn't help my PIH. Today at Applebee's someone parked so close to me that I couldn't open my door more than 9 inches. I became so enraged that I banged my car door into theirs like a million times. Then the woman must have seen me doing it from the restaurant and came out. She started to yell at me but when I turned around and she saw my face she apologized for parking so close and jumped in her car to move it. I'm sure I looked like a hot mess but that's just bullshit. If I know I can't fit in a spot I don't park there. What a crazy fucking concept!

ummm... wow.. I don't think that can be blamed on pregnancy.. If you left marks on her car there is no excuse for that.
I have a Daughter born 2/26/2013. She is pretty much amazing!
obryana6219 pregnancy or not, I applaud you. Nothing makes me fucking crazier than people who can't park properly. You go! To the poster flaming you... you missed the FLAME FREE part of this thread title.

Picturing this makes me laugh! It would have been better if when you saw it you immediately went back inside and asked the host to yell out an announcement to the entire restaurant that the owner of the silver Honda parked like an asshole and the pregnant woman she blocked in is now in labor and can't get into her car to get to the hospital so would the owner please move their car. Bad parkers deserve public shame

I have to agree with @jbatch, that's excessive even for pregnancy hormones... I can absolutely sympathize with @obryana6219's feelings though, idiotic parkers are the worst! I like @Serenamarr's approach - gets back at the bad parker without putting @obryana6219 in a position where she could potentially get in trouble for property damage! Haha I'm glad the lady decided to just suck it up and move for you, @obryana6219, would hate for you to get in trouble!
And my confession... every time I see that "belly button pop out?!" thread, I read "pop" as "poop." I feel like a six year old boy. Unfortunately, I do not have a very high appreciation for what my mom calls "potty humor," so rather than making me giggle it just makes me do a double-take.
It's true there are more sane ways of handling the situation obryana6219 did. Since i have never had the sweet relief of reacting the crazy way, I can do nothing but applaud lashing out the way I've always wanted to. =D>
My confession, I have gone straight up LOCO on my lunch delivery location. I had some issues with this establishment messing up my order last week. I called, complained, they responded by telling me they'd email me a coupon. Today (8 days later) they finally send me the coupon with an expiration date of TODAY. I was livid contacting their customer service again. I ordered my salad using the coupon vowing in my head to never order from there again. They email me back saying it was a typo and it would expire on 5/31... too late since i already ordered. To put icing on the cake, they effing screwed up my order AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! They gave me balsamic dressing instead of STRAWBERRY balsamic vinaigrette. While i normally would have sucked it up and kept the crappy wrong dressing, i had to stand my ground and get my proper dressing redelivered. As if ordering a healthy lunch wasnt hard enough for an 8 month pregnant chick, they're gonna make me stare a tthis sad sad salad waiting for my replacement dressing. I SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A FRIGGIN BIG MAC. Good god. I lashed out on the poor salad people and now you guys. Rant over.
Moral of the story of today.. do not eff with pregnant bitches. we crazy
@Mommaswizz totally understandable! And that absolutely sucks about your lunch delivery place... I would have reacted exactly the same way to that! What horrible customer service! I would not be returning and I would definitely be letting them know why.
ive been emailing my husband each part of the salad saga and i think he might be legit afraid to prepare dinner for me tonight lmao. I can't stop laughing now that i'm fed and slowly becoming more rational.
LMAO @dancegurl1118 i have serious lunch envy right now!! I've eaten poorly this week so i try to be good at lunch so if i indulge in oreos before bed, i dont feel quite as bad. But i think i might need to throw caution into the wind and go nuts tonight. I'll pay for it on monday when i need to weigh in at the doctor but fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck it hahahahhaha )
I am supposed to be finding out where I can get the car seat inspected, but I just don't care. I don't want to use the base, either. I buckle it in, the line is parallel to the ground - what's the problem? I don't understand how the whole car seat thing got so complicated. Flame away, I know my apathy may be shocking.
I'm so sick of watching what I eat and it's turning me into a flaming hormonal bitch. I don't care about eating healthy. I quit smoking 8 months ago and if I want an effing cupcake or 12 no one should have a freaking opinion about it!! Or about the 60 Ibs I've gained! Eff off doc!!
@obryana6219 a similar situation happened to me in the beginning of my pregnancy. Luckily I wasn't as large as I am now and could squeeze into my car. I told my husband that if this happened when I was almost 9 months pregnant I would fully lose my shit lol People who aren't considerate enough to park normal irritate me to no end.
I'm secretly enjoying rubbing my GD in my MILs face. She's a pretty unhealthy eater and always forces her delicious (butt widening) desserts on us. It's been soo refreshing not to have justify my not wanting a 5lb piece of chocolate cake.
Although, right now, I could really go for a piece of that damn cake... Gah pregnancy cravings.
So my dad had to take me to my FM appointment yesterday because DH was at work with our car as usual and he had my parents car so my mom, who normally goes with me, had him go with me instead for convenience... Granted, I don't favor either of my parents in looks (I'm very split down the middle) I would like to think I look enough like my father that you'd know he's my father but apparently not. I have never seen that many people stare at my father, let alone with the clear assumption that this white-bearded man must somehow be the creep that impregnated the punky looking early 20's chick. The nurses even looked uncomfortable...
My confession: I kind of thought it was funny and nice that for once not everyone was staring at me. Dad on the other hand is making me agree to announce somehow that he's my dad and not my creepy old boyfriend.
I ate a big bowl of ice cream during one of my pee breaks last night at 3am.. On the toilet
I just literally LOL'ed! I've done this before and my D/H caught me and took a pic.
For my FFFC I've literally done nothing this week but relax, play with my dog, and read. When my D/H comes home from work and asks me what I've done all day I lie through my teeth. :^o
Sometimes I wish I had bigger boobs. I feel like every woman that gets pregnant go up a few cup sizes except for me. How'd I miss that boat? It's kinda unfair. I'm still the same cup size pre-pregnancy before I had my babies. I mean they're fantastic at producing enough milk for me to nurse and pump so I'm not worried about that. It's more for vanity reasons which is I know is really stupid.
Husband has been sleeping on the couch lately since we both have been tossing and turning lately. Plus a full size bed has become to small for us, a dog and a cat to sleep in. And secretly I'm loving it! And I think he is too lol I don't even care
I was shopping at Costco today and picking out some Carters pjs for my sons. My one son was really wanting the fire truck one. As I was rummaging through the sizes my son started to get a little more frantic about finding his pjs. He was whiny and I was trying to reassure him that I was looking for his size. (Remember I live in a very religious area) at that moment another Mom comes to look through the pile and starts to SING A FREAKIN HYMN! I know that she was doing it to "bring the spirit" and calm him down. But it was full on singing...just so weird! I was really hoping my kids would ask "Why is she singing" so I could respond with something snarky! Or maybe they could start singing their favorite song from the Red Hot Chili Peppers where it talks about Cock blocking, just so I could see this holy than thou ladies expression!!! But no, I just gave her a couple side eyes while looking for sizes.
Also I milked a headache for all it was worth to avoid going to church the other Sunday because I was soooo tired........ What a terrible excuse. Something divinely bad might happen to me now lol

@CillyMama, I'm a FTM and haven't seen any size changes what so ever and was also hoping to for once in my life feel a bit more "womanly" up there (I'm small chested). I've come to terms with it though - I know there are pros and cons for various sizes. Still feel like it would have been nice to have a bit of cleavage for a short time period (the grass is always greener on the other side of course).
I couldn't decide if I wanted Starbucks or McDonalds for breakfast, so what did I do? I got both! Got my coffee and coffee cake at Starbucks and also got an egg white mcmuffin at McDonalds....and I don't regret any of it !
I have another confession to make, sometimes I go through pictures of my new mom friends on FB from when they were pregnant so I can feel better about how chubby my face has gotten. 3:-O

I totally do this too!!! Lol
To all of you disappointed about boobs...don't be! Mine grew but don't even look that big because my belly steals the show. I finally have bigger boobs but can't enjoy it.
At the bowling league dinner last night I still felt pretty blah and didn't want to go, but made myself go, partially so I could get in farther with the old timers for once the ewok is born. My gamble paid off, when as I was leaving like 50% of them said hubs and I *had* to let them all know when baby came, cause "we buy good baby presents" (really I was just hoping for some homemade casseroles brought over so I don't have to cook after coming home from the hospital). And everybody swore to hold to ewok while I bowled next season so that we would come back.
I really do like all these old timers a lot - they truly are great people and a lot of fun - but yes, I was working that room.
Where I live has been in the news a lot lately and because of that we are under a 10pm curfew. I know it's for safety. But honestly? I'm excited to sleep with the windows open and not have to listen to loud people coming home from bars, restaurants. I need all the sleep I can get!

Big boobs are the bane of my existence since being pregnant. They weigh more than LO does!! With the baby crushing my lungs from the bottom and my boobs pressing down on them from the top I can't take a deep breath no matter what. The only relief I get is having hubby literally hold them up- just get under them and push them up while I take a few deep breaths.
Confess: last night I stopped at wawa and got a tuna sub and Ben and Jerry's ... On my way to pick up the pizza I ordered for dinner. Today I bought red velvet cookies and Pringles. I haven't had any cravings until yesterday so I have no practice in self control @-)

I won't be making powder clouds for him to inhale so I don't care.
