**The Everything Random Thread for May 2016**

Hey ladies! I think we may be the only BMB without a dedicated random thread and we have many, many random threads going right now. Thought it was time a thread was created as a place for all of us to congregate on the
everyday musings, rants, questions, random funny thoughts, super cravings, whatever. Post it here!
Re: **The Everything Random Thread for May 2016**
There's a lady I work with whose daughter had her first baby today. Grandma was texting another lady here with updates, and this lady felt the need to update the entire floor, "She's 9 cm dilated, but the baby won't turn the right way!"
Nooo. No no no. I don't even know this woman in labor, and I definitely don't want to know anything about her vagina.
DH will be the only one in the delivery room with me, and likely the only one that will know how dilated I am.
Note: I'm not referring to updating bumpies about the goings-on of our labors. That's different

3. Had my first Charlie horse this week - those are no joke. I think I need to start stretching before bed
I just realized that at the end of this work-day, my anticipated maternity leave is close enough to use my desk flip-number calendar to count down. (39 work days!) This makes me simultaneously ecstatic and nervous/nesting-crazy!

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!He is on day 5 of his new school and totally killing it! I was super nervous because he is only 2 1/2 and they do a full preschool curriculum. I didn't know how he would do since he is so young and was a preemie, but he is a rockstar! We have had a few rough drop-offs, but today he ran right into school, hugged his teacher and then started dancing while singing "Bye bye Mama! Bye bye Mama!" I guess he has adjusted. Every day when I ask him what he did at school, he jabbers on and on and on with so much excitement and enthusiasm! The other day, I asked what he did and he very seriously replied, "Theater. I played a froggy. My lines were Ribbit Ribbit." The kid cracks me up! And his teachers are shocked at his progress. He can identify his name and about 10 other written words such as train, tree, cat, etc. He can count to 20 and is starting to understand that after 20 you just say twenty-ONE, twenty-TWO and so on. He has basically potty trained himself already and is dry most mornings and throughout the day while requesting to use the potty instead of needing to be prompted. And he does a killer Adele impression. Seriously. His teacher said he didn't get a full nap yesterday because he was singing quietly to himself. I asked what he was singing and she giggled and said "I think it was the Adele song". So I asked him in the car and he said "Oh, yes, Mama, I was singing" he cleared his throat and belted out "Hello from the other siiiiiiiiiiide! I muddle cowed a tow-sand piiiiiiiines!"
The best part is every day when we get home I lay on the couch on my side and he drives his trains and cars over my belly while giving fantastic commentary for Baby Luna. Sample: "Ok, Luna, so the orange car is zooming by, but the blue train is flying over! Wow! The blue train is so fast!" Then he will get really close to my belly and whisper to her. I can't hear what he is saying, but every once in a while she kicks super hard and has even head-butted him through my belly! They are already scheming! He gives her kisses and will play *gentle* Patty Cake with her and gets so excited when she bumps back. I am in absolute bliss and can't wait to see how they interact when she isn't inside my body.

9/15/2015: BFP HCG - 400, 9/17/2015: HCG - 827, 9/21/2015 - HCG 3,327!Random rant--below is the email I sent to our secretary in charge of teacher attendance after getting my most recent pay stub. She calls me back and says, "It was a sick day, not a personal day." I like, I KNOW that! I didn't say anything about personal days! My issue it was only 1/2 day, not a whole day! I went back and looked at the email I sent her, and it seems pretty clear to me. Can people not freaking read anymore??
I just got my most recent pay stub, and it states that I have used 1 sick day this year. According to my records and what is showing in Aesop, I have only used .5 sick day—I took half a sick day on January 27. Can this be corrected to show that I should have 24.5 sick days remaining, rather than 24? (In planning for maternity leave and upcoming doctor appointments, I am trying to make every little bit count!)
Just wondering when everyone started thinking that it is ok to ask me how much weight I have gained?? I don't get how people think that this is a perfectly fine question to ask. What if I just started asking women how much weight they had gained-everyone would be so offended. But just because I'm pregnant its ok to ask me? Uh no.
I'm going to get a bagel now.
She didn't mean it to be rude...just honest lol
I keep having dreams about other men (not sexual dreams) and it's bothering me. There is this REALLY attractive guy who goes to the gym that I enjoy looking at (and will miss seeing when we move next month and I go to a new gym) that I've had dreams about. And another guy who is in my husband's car club has been in a couple dreams. Like I said, nothing sexual but still makes me feel bad.

My last class is exhausting. They're all freshman, many of which have either an ADHD diagnosis or are on the spectrum, and two are blatantly racist (but don't understand that they are!
