  I really liked the idea of bat signal posts that was mentioned earlier. I don't want the drama to come here FT, but I so enjoy going over and peeking on the really BSC threads.

  Damn I missed the good parts of that thread!  I was on it early on but wasn't on much yesterday and the epic drama happens!

  Umm I'm growing out of my maternity tops.  Thank goodness tunics are in style now as they will become regular tops for me.  I need more camis for underneath, though. 

  DS 9/2/13 was a BFP from an IUI!
  Triplets due 6/29/16 also from an IUI!

  My 18 month old keeps going behind my rocker/recliner and to poop. I'm siting in the chair and he snuck back there, and now the whole area stinks. This is the second time today! I'm seriously considering early potty training this kid.

  I just went to read the Feb '16 birth stories & am a sobbing mess, lol. Cute babies + pregnancy hormones make for instant tears over here. 
  
  P.S. Yay for your name being normal again! Luckily your pic always stayed the same so we could still recognize you!

  If it makes you feel better during nap time my girls take their clothes and diapers off and pee and poop in their bedroom. They will be 21/2 in April. Steam cleaning their room every week is getting a little old...

  @CourtJack Congrats on getting your name back!  So weird it randomly changed!  Also, I have no desire to read brith stories.  I am just planning to ignore the fact that I am giving birth soonish and just deal with it when it happens..............

  Oh man I love reading birth stories!! It's kind of a guilty pleasure and I keep it on the DL so DH doesn't ask me again why I want to read about other women having babies.  As a FTM I find them so inspiring and reassuring! But DH thinks I'm weird.

  Ugh that's awful, but yes it makes me feel better! He's not taking the diaper off just hiding back there while he does it and I was annoyed because I was relaxing in my chair with fresh yummy coffee and he ruined it! 
  
  What steam cleaner do you have? And what type of cleaner? My dog constantly poops on my living room carpet and we have trouble getting the stains out.

  So does mine...
  
  I, of course, like to see the cute babies but REALLY I just like to reassure myself that I'm most likely not going to die while giving birth. If all these women did it - I'll probably come out alive. So morbid and weird.

  @GinnyJ2012 it's an old Hoover from my parents, circa like 1990, it still does relatively decently though.
  
  Oh and we use resolve shampoo with it.

  My office building seriously has12 kitchenette areas.  My work is also pretty generous with ordering lunch for midday meetings.
  
  Every day at 1pm I go for my afternoon stroll to all three floors kitchenette areas to look for scraps.  It is usually the time when work meetings end and excess food gets dropped off at various kitchenettes.
  
  I guess that's kind of a FFFC, but I am leaving it here.
  
  And I'll be back in about 20 minutes after I do my rounds...

  Teen Mom OG Question - spoiler
  
  So- feel free to judge me for this, (I'm used to it, my DH does and puts up a stink until I turn TM on, then is suddenly mumbling about what a deadbeat dad Ryan is Seriously though, not visiting your kid before surgery?)
  
  But did anyone else notice Maci's cocktail and hope it was a random virgin Margarita or the only drink she had? She would have been ~13wks at the time of the tonsillectomy, but I guess she didn't know until she was more than 20wks? Anyway. Not that it matters at all, I just saw it and was like, wait...
  
  I think I only noticed Bc a) I had a really bad craving for margaritas I couldn't fulfill and b) the timeline of her pregnancy is so close to ours.

  We just had to buy a new one because my other died. I like it a lot, but still can't get out the old stains (not even bleach). Ill try resolve, and I just bought this Oxy booster to add.

  @Lilwatz and @KOR121 - I'm just looking at the cute pictures and to get name ideas.  Sometimes I read the stories, but I mostly try to pretend that this baby will just appear in my arms and it will be no big deal!  Ignorance is bliss...

  Have you put baking soda on the spot prior? That has helped us on a couple cat spots in the basement.

  That's been my method so far! She's just going to magically appear.

  
  

  Also, we have to SpotBot pet steam cleaner, it uses resolve cleaning stuff and does a great job on little spots/messes/areas!

  So I went to go read the birth stories in Feb and noticed a post called "sex after birth".  She wants to have sex ONE week after giving birth! Ummmm, no. Just no.  And she had s csection!   I couldn't even lay in my bed a week after my csection, let alone think about that.

  Does the nursery thread make anyone else's app go crazy? Not the Bump thread but the other one? It totally shuts down my app and makes my screen go blank. Every. Time.

  Yep. I can't open any thread with a large amount of uploaded pictures. So, the HDBD and nursery threads kill my mobile app. I wonder if it's an issue with RAM on the phone?

  I usually have no issues with the mobile site, just the mobile app and large images so I'd say it's an app issue, not a phone issue.

  I love reading birth stories. I stalk every board up until I deliver and read as many as I can. Crazy? Meh, who cares The only time I'm not going to like reading them is when all of you are hiving your babies at the beginning of the month and I will still have 4 weeks till I'm due! Damn being due on the 29th!! I'll still read them though

  I heart birth stories, too. And I'm due on the 1st, but will probably go way over (was 10 days over with DD and the placenta was breaking down).  Soooo.....we may have to read them together
