    So I just got this text from my mom saying that a local hotel got new beds and they are giving away 22 king size beds. Um, thanks? I've worked in a hotel before and I don't even want to imagine all the nasty shit that could've gone down on those mattresses. I think I'll pass mom. 

    ha!!! this made me laugh out loud. Totally something my mom would do - meanwhile you'd probably get about 20 stds and ebola.

  • My kid just stole my snack. She's not even eating it. She just took it from my hand, walked away, set it down on the floor and started doing something else.
    Whyyyyy is mom's food so much better than anything else???

    Slight AW moment warning***

    I have been researching newborn photographers and this morning I got a response email from one of the Photog's I messaged saying she has a "Grow With Me" package; it's maternity, birth story (if you are interested in that, which I am) Newborn, 6 months, 9 months and one year. All for $1050! I am so excited, that seems like a huge steal to me!

    That's a freaking amazing price!  I briefly looked at newborn photos and most of the people I can find in my area are $1,300+ JUST FOR THE NEWBORN SHOOT.

    Washington DC metro area...Take the price of something pretty much anywhere else and quadruple it and that's what we end up paying.
  • I live in No man's land west Texas, close-ish to New Mexico. I paid the deposit, I don't think I can pass that price up.

    The baby shower drama post made me want to binge drink more than my actual real life work drama. Just. Wow. 

    I can't keep up with it! Every time I read all the new posts and click out there are 6 new ones! It is definitely keeping me entertained this morning.

    Preach. 
  • Newborn shoots here are around $350-400. I live in the upper Midwest though....most everything is pretty reasonably priced.

    I literally want to strangle something!!!! But I love my animals far too much, so I'll have to be satisfied with angrily eating my breakfast instead. The word "pretentious" comes to mind, and reminds me of my crazy ex-roommate who refused to let us throw her a shower because she knew people couldn't afford the expensive stuff she wanted. She didn't even do a registry for the same reason.

  • Decided to go shopping with my day off (because, why not)...had a few things I wanted to buy, got up to the cash to pay, & that's when I realized: I left my fucking wallet in my gym bag from last night. Baby brain, you win this round...

    I think I strained a muscle in my eye from rolling them so hard at that baby shower drama thread. I mean, DAMN. 
    I'm wondering if she hasn't given her sister the guest list yet because she doesn't have anyone who would put up with her and go.... Blech.
    I certainly would decline that invitation. Blech is right.
  • Hi jumping in! I used to post often but went away but back.

    i like cupcakes and I'm pregnant with our second daughter.
    Hi! I remember you. Cupcakes are amazing. Congrats on your baby girl!

  • @CupcakesRamazing - I may be a little fuzzy remembering the details of your earlier months, but I distinctly recall craving cupcakes on many occasions.  Congrats on the baby girl!

    Thanks ladies! I'm due June 1 and I had terrible MS u til my insurance approved my diclegis! HOLLA! although I laugh because they abbreviate it as DIC at the pharmacy and the automated voicemail tells me my dic is ready  :D


    This just made me giggle out loud at my desk!


    Also, I just ran to McDonalds and got a hot fudge sundae and a diet coke so I could come back and finish reading/ watch the progress on the Baby Shower Drama thread with an appropriate treat!

    I like your style, let's be friends

  • I can't say what I want ok the babyshower thread because it violates the TOU. I'd love to signal the women on the Baby shower board though! 

    And my dog ate my Jimmy Johns sub! The whole thing. I took DS2 upstairs for a nap and put my sub on the kitche counter against the backsplash and he got up there and snaked it! I'm irrationally angry, hungry, and have no lunch

    Am I the only one who really wants to go to all of the crazy showers people are apparently having? Grandma, "ritzy", crazy preg sister, etc?

    I just shopped the Gap Maternity clearance rack. I love summer clothes in February in MN. 

    I might as well get something nice for Hawaii, right?

    How about a beautiful grey and white long maxi dress and a pair of cotton shorts. What's that you say? Everything in store is an additional 30% off?

    My total was $7.66. 
    Score! 
    DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI!
    Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!

    I worry it wouldn't be good for my blood pressure but if someone else could handle it and report back I would love them for it.

    I wish someone could go and Periscope it for us live! I would definitely tune in for that with a bag of popcorn.

  • @NicknShan I'm like that with the drama threads too. Most of the threads on here I just never open :/
  • ...I did open the Baby Shower Drama thread when it was brand new, got halfway through the OP's post and was like "oh give me a break" and haven't been back since
  • Aren't all baby shower drama posts a variation of "I am not getting exactly what I want and am maaaaaaaaaad."?  Meh.

    @Lilwatz the "Grandma shower" one had a pretty legit beef (her MIL wanted to have her own shower, and not allow any of "her" guests to go to the actual mother's shower, wtf???) but yes, they're mostly just annoying whining.

    Just be glad people want to throw you a party and give you presents, man.
    I want to assume that was made up from the dramaz, but I bet those types of people actually exist!
