Am I the only one who is always surprised at how many people here give the advice to "just lie and say this or that"? I could have sworn lying was wrong and just caused more problems/trouble. I mean, don't we (I do at least) constantly tell our children to tell the truth?

@ecwk It's scented wax! You get wax warmers and put the wax in and it makes your house smell nice. My husband and I were in heaven smelling all of it haha

I honestly have the same thought, I was telling that to a friend a lot of the questions are how to I tell someone I hate something or I don't want them there. Be tactful and put on your big girl panties.

*siiiiiiggghh* we just closed on our first house in July and someone announced today that a private school is planning on building on the plot of land across from our neighborhood. We moved kinda far out so we knew it would build up but there is only one entrance to our neighborhood and it's off of a poorly paved road with one lane in each direction. This is going to suucckk
So @SarahFoley725, have you made any celebratory baby purchases??
I haven't bought anything recently! I got a bunch of clothes when we found out the sex. My mom said I got too many (as if that's a thing). I'm trying not to buy anything until after the shower. Although I did tell my husband I wanted to go buy her a present to celebrate her being healthy and he just looked at me. Poor guy, doesn't understand my mommy feels.

Do it - just go do something yourself. You need to celebrate being a mommy and YOU be in control of what you get. It's ok to give yourself that permission, especially since you were holding back a little.

Maybe I will order her something today. DH has been wanting a gun for a while so I told him he could get one. I don't want us to not enjoy ourselves during all the baby excitement, he just doesn't get the things that I want for myself are actually for the kid hahah
So @SarahFoley725 - do you have a scentsy page we could look at? And is there anything pumpkin spice? I'm dealing with the smell of pee everywhere in my house - thanks 4-year old!

I do! It's www.sarahfoley.scentsy.us
There are three pumpkin scents! Pumpkin Roll, Pumpkin Marshmellow, and Pumpkin Coconut Pie (I don't have a sample of that so I don't know what it smells like)
I will say that the pumpkin Marshmellow smells like sweet potatoes with marshmallows melted on it and not as much like pumpkin. I liked the "winter" scents the most I think
Man today is just a shitty day all around. I cried all morning at home, and work has been non-stop today! Everything is so screwed up at work and I'm trying to fix it all. I just want to go back home and cry some more. I'm getting another abcess, this time under my left arm. I told the nurse about it on Tuesday but she didn't do much other than give me my injection and told me to not pop it. I can't- it hurts too much to touch, and it sits right where the ribbing of my bra rubs into my under arm area, which only makes it worse. These damn things make me feel disgusting/gross- and I only started getting them since going off BC in May. And nothing can be done about them until I deliver in March. I'm too scared to go to the ER to have it lanced- the last time despite numbing me I felt everything and it hurt really bad, to the point I couldn't lift my arm for a few days. Its bad enough I feel like as big as a blimp- to add to that its just making me break down.
I'm trying really hard not to cry- I have a kid who is serving ISS in my office, and I have people coming in and out. This just sucks.

@charley15 I'm sorry! I had an outbreak of boils all down my side so I know how horribly uncomfortable they are and how icky they make you feel. I second getting some chocolate ❤️
Can I totally be an AW for a moment? Go the results of my Harmony Test (only took one week!) and everything is normal! Risk is less than 1:10,000 for all trisonomies! I had every faith and confidence it would go this way but not knowing for sure was tough. The bright spot on baby's heart won't have any negative effects. I could cry with relief.
Thank you all for warm thoughts and support when I told you about this!

YESSSS SO HAPPY FOR YOU. I'm honestly crying a little. Wonderful news!!!
So annoyed. So I've mentioned that I nanny a special needs boy. I do lots of different therapies with him throughout the day on top of house work and such. Well his mom is working from home for whatever reason and she's been shut up in her room all day so far missing me do feeding therapy, stretching, and using equipment. He wasn't having it with his equipment today so I took him out, put everything away, laid him down to play, and got a snack. She comes out of her room for like two seconds and is acting like I don't do anything with him. I'm literally sitting here with an apple in my hand and she's telling me how I could be doing more with him now before he eats. Yeah.... I do that every day but right now I'm hungry.
I'm just so annoyed. I'm still doing all of my crap and it's not getting any easier for me as I get bigger. Some days it's hard even to carry him around. They're supposed to be looking for my replacement right now but to my knowledge they haven't even started the search. Why isn't it Friday ugh
EEK! I just found a Summer Infant Baby Touch video monitor on my FB sale site for $80. I have been looking into purchasing a video monitor for a couple months and just couldn't bring myself to spend $200 on a new one. Its still in the box in EUC.
Do you ever wonder how many lurkers vs regulars vs drive-bys we have on this board? I swear I see so many people I don't recognize posting on the same annoying threads that keep popping up. And it's daily.

It is kind of odd to think about. Personally, I wouldn't want to come to a board where I have no relationship with anyone, announce the sex of my baby/share an US picture/etc and then peace out. So weird to me.
But with some of the view counts on these threads, you can be sure that there are a LOT more lurkers than we probably realize.
@ecwk congrats on the healthy baby. I'm so glad so many of our babies are well!! And especially happy to see they're all going to be very loved.
View counts? I've never paid attention to those... But it has always bothered me why people will show up once and post something and never log on again. What's the point of starting a thread (even if you are trying to have an AW moment) if you never log back on to check it?
@charley15 have you had gestational diabetes in the past or did you get tested yet? I know it's kind of early to get tested but people with diabetes or consistently high blood sugars have a tendency to get boils, cysts, or accesses. Just something to think about. It doesn't mean you have it for sure but if you do just managing your blood sugar decreases occurances to almost none.

It took me a while to "find my place" here at TB, but once I did (awwww, you ladies!) I was happy to move from lurker to poster. It's weird, because I think we're a really welcoming group of gals, not sure why some don't post more. That bear gif is epic.
I pre-diabetic because of my PCOS. I was on metformin until 12 weeks then taken off. But I started getting these as soon as I came of BC, and never had them before in my arm pits. I came off BC the first of may, got AF the end of may beginning of June and by mid-june my right under-arm was full of them (I wanna say about 12-15). One was the size of a lemon and needed to be lanced. Now after just that one I got on my tummy from my ingrown hair- which did open and drain but was infected- I haven't had a one until now, and its now in my left under-arm. And before that I NEVER had them like this! I'm going to mention it to my dr when I see him again- because obviously me telling the nurse didn't matter much. All she did say was when I get to see my dermatologist they can give me something to clear them up- but can't take anything until after baby.
P.S. I did not have gestational diabetes, and I will probably get tested in the next couple weeks (I see the doctor on 11/17). I did have a glucose test 1 year or so ago and the results came back fine. But again I was on Metformin so they wanted to make sure it was doing its job.
ETA: they can also be caused from hormonal changes. I was on Seasonique BC for a year, and was told to skip the period pills to surpress my hormones and help shrink my endometriosis. So it could be from the surge in hormones too. We shall see.

I've had them since I was 14. I officially reached "if you only saw my left leg you would seriously think I'm 85". My OB is writing his 2nd book and that ever so gorgeous leg is featured in both. :-q

Just returned from my A/S and everything was looking great with baby!!! Baby was moving so much - it was so amazing to see! Baby is 11oz and measuring a little ahead at 19w6d - I'm officially 19w today.The only hiccup we had was finding out that I have a full blown placenta previa. I'm going back in 5w to see if my placenta has moved at all. I'm also on pelvic rest until then. I'm still calling today a success and if I have to deliver via c-section due to this, so be it. I'll get the amazing prize at the end either way! I know there was a thread on here about placenta previa so I need to dig around and see what others have had to say about that.
