Re: **The Everything Random Thread for April Mamas**

  • Just finished a 1.5 mile walk. First time walking this distance since the 5k I did back in November. My EVERYTHING hurts now! (I swear I'm not lazy, I've been waiting for Dr approval to exercise for four months)

    Also I want to cry knowing that I used to be able to walk that distance within 15 minutes, and run it within 10. Omg postpartum training is going to SUCK!

    I'm doing my 3 hour test tomorrow... My mommy is making me cake. I'm so excited!

    Edit: Because I forgot to tell you all; IT'S FUNFETTI!!!!!
  • My MIL let me have a nap before bringing me DS after my doctors appointment. I'm not sure if it was the glucose screen, TDAP, or a combo of the two that made me so exhausted.

    @RoseShadow873 Yes, owned by Budweiser! They are actually bred on a ranch owned by them too. Not all Clydesdales qualify to be on the hitch either, they have to be male, of a specific minimum height (forget exactly), all four white feet, black mane, white mark on face. If they don't meet those requirements they are sold to legit buyers, some females kept to foal new babies. There are three hitches that travel in different regions of the country, each with back up horses. I know way more than I should about these horses lol. Including that they are given short one or two syllable names (that start with the same letter as their mother's name) so it's easy for the driver to call their names out for commands.

    You know, I feel like it's not that ridiculous to think that one person, somewhere, might be wacky enough to want something like this, . I'm just flabbergasted that there are actually 3 people who liked her plan! Please tell me that all the advice she received is "DON'T DO IT."

    They probably liked it as a joke, or maybe they thought it was a joke. Wtf? Does this lady think she's Sacagawea or something? Is she going to bathe him in the stream?

  • My doctor just called and apparently both of my tests from yesterday are abnormal. I'm slightly anemic and I have to take the 3 hour glucose test. :'(

    Does she understand that she won't get a medal for giving birth out in the middle of the woods? Your rewards are a baby (if you're lucky) and not being pregnant anymore. What more do you really need?
  • DO NOT do a youtube search on nature birth.....not only are there people who actually give birth in a forest, but they film it and throw that shizz up on youtube O_o

    Don't look up Breastpump tutorials on youtube because it's basically porn but listed as "Educational" and it's creepy as hell.

    Granola crunching super hippie wants all natural birth - asking friends on FB for advice? Oh the irony makes me laugh... seems to me someone who is that far off their rocker, would also be off the grid... ha ha.

    Sorry I didn't respond to any of you earlier, I was at my three hour test with my mom and didn't want to be rude on my phone :/ She actually isn't a friend of mine, so I'm not sure what the reactions were. It was screenshotted from a scientific vegan discussion group I'm a part of. They were all making fun of it, for the record >.<
  • I've seen some very informative, well done breastfeeding/pumping tutorials on YouTube in the past as well.. nothing creepy or inappropriate surprisingly.
  • In order to cheer myself up about my failed attempt at the three hour glucose test I'm making Rice Krispie treats topped with peanut butter cup filling and chocolate. I'll probably eat most of them and I definitely won't feel bad about it.

  • @sprocketsngadgets I got myself a donut to cheer myself up after I found out that I barely failed my one hour test this morning.

  • I am still waiting for my results from the glucose test even though I should have them by now. They are such slackers at my doctor with lab tests. When I did the CF carrier test they lost my blood sample and cancelled the test without telling me so I had to do it all again. That better not have happened this time!
  • A friend of mine on FB just got tagged in a photo (FYI, she works in a lab). The picture has the caption "This is someone's urine". And the picture is, indeed, of a vial full of what I assume is pee. WTAF?!? WHHHHHY would you post that on FB? I don't care that is IS green (and it is...green...very green). No one wants to see that! And ladies on TB think pee sticks are bad!

    People post the weirdest stuff on FB. A lady in the pregnancy Facebook group I'm in posted a close up of her baby sons genitals and asshole asking about a rash, and I'm like

    I was just gonna mention that very weird video on YouTube with this lady giving birth in a forest in a stream with her naked daughter watching the birth. It was really weird.


        

  • I got my glucose test results back, and failed by two points (132 and their cutoff is 130). I really don't think I can face the 3-hour test; the 1-hour was bad enough and I felt like crap the rest of the day. I think I'm going to just assume I have GD and move forward with whatever tracking and diet modifications need to be made. But first I'm going to mope and whine this weekend and eat some ice cream.

  • @AEG84, enjoy your coffee and bagel tomorrow morning, too. You got this.

    My FFFC threatened me with wrongful term today. Not what I was expecting :|
  • And I wish I could bump more while at work! I get overwhelmed when I see 66 new messages on the random thread and 57 new on the FFFC thread haha :o
  • That awkward moment when you aren't anywhere near as crunchy as you thought you were 0.o

    So this was the response she got... I have very little faith in humanity at times...


  • @beccamccann oh my gosh :joy: we are in tears over here! So freaking funny!

    YES!!! She had a yoga mat to squat on at the stream edge over the stones?? I don't even know why I watched it. It was like I couldn't look away because I almost didn't believe I was actually going to see it all!
