@Weville I JUST SPIT OUT MY GRAPE. Oh man. I've been making jokes about how we are going to have to manage to raise a son who won't send pictures of his penis to people who don't want to see pictures of his penis. My husband's response was "I have never done that." Meanwhile I spent most of the early aughts flashing people on 1-40 on dares.
@Weville@ButterMyBiscuit I don't know if I am proud or embarrassed that my brain read "dick" instead of "duck" but either way that is an awesome way to show your love for your husband.
@rlopezlavalle@WevilleMy feet went back, but my boobs did not. 1-2 years after our last LO, I plan on getting a breast reduction, because these suckers are getting unruly.
Random for the day... Not to long ago, I remember talk about how boring our board was getting it? Seems a little more entertaining the last few days lol
@Weville My feet swelled a full 2 sizes larger during my first pregnancy but they went back down almost to their original size after. I had a few pairs of shoes that fit but were a bit snug that I ended up giving away but I was able to to fit the majority of my shoes again. Boobs however, don't ask me about boobs. Mine are giant at the best of times and between pregnancy, breastfeeding and general weight changes have changed sizes so many times I don't know what size they "normally" are anymore.
Going to be a single mom... so no one will be staying over night with me. My mom will be around during delivery and I'm sure she will be back throughout the day (s) after. Will be staying with her for the first couple of weeks after leaving the hospital as I currently live on my own.
So today for the first time I had a stranger bring up my pregnancy. DH and I went out for breakfast and I wasn't eating much, I kind of leaned back on my chair and rubbed my belly and some old man was like "You got to eat more and feed the baby." I laughed it off but once he left I told my H it was brave of him.
Also, my mom was playing bingo tonight and I stopped by after I got done watching some kids to tell her something and baby got brought up. The lady at her table told me I was barely pregnant. I told her I'm 22 weeks and past halfway so pretty sure I'm just pregnant at this point. Anyways, how can someone be barely pregnant? 8 weeks or 38 weeks you're still pregnant.
People are the weirdest--- my one co-worker asked if she could touch the bump... Which I said yes bc I was 100% bump and not feeling bloated or disgusting... But my other co-worker asked me to show her my bump--- I was wearing a dress. I was like ummm, I have a thong on! And she was like I don't care- I'm not asking to see your butt!! Lol- she was dead serious. That was a new one for me--- I told her she could see it the next time I see her and I'm wearing PANTS!!

If people ask, I tell them they can't touch, but when they don't I'm usually too nice to say anything and end up trying to avoid them for the rest of pregnancy. I don't like people touching me period. I would not take a free massage.
Started randomly pissing blood last night without any signs of a UTI. So the nurse urged me to come into labor and delivery and get checked out in case. All of this while my husband is gone for another 2 weeks mind you. So I had to sit there with no pants for HOURS and have multiple tests done before finding out yes, it is a UTI. Glad to be home now and have medicine. Even better by the way, the doctor working nightshift was so creepy and made me super uncomfortable. I know it's not my husband's fault he was sent away, but God dammit I was mad last night.
@Shelby00519 Yeah I've been amazed at some brave people so far... I was doing a class at the gym (body pump) and for one part we had to lay on our back on a bench to do chest presses - I inclined my bench so I wouldn't be flat on my back. That instructor then later announced to the whole class that I had to incline my bench only because I'm pregnant. Who of course, I've never told. Hah - My thought too was .... wow that was brave!
@maddmama Scary, but I'm glad that they figured out it was a UTI and all is well with baby! I would have been freaked out and mad if I had to go to the hospital alone... especially if the doctor was a creeper.
I'm so tired lately! I have zero interest in sex. My husband is under the assumption that pregnant women are hormone raging teens, the bump app tells me I should have a rising libido...but I'm over here pulling on my fuzzy socks and getting in bed at 8 when the toddler is finally asleep. I really wish I had a sex drive. I feel like a disappointment lately.

Can you maybe "schedule" some intimate time? That way you can maybe mentally prepare for it (read a steamy novel or plan for DH to give you a massage first). I find that sex is a little bit like exercising right now--- you may not really "want to" but afterwards it's worth it and makes you feel better. Even once a week breaks the "holy shit we haven't had sex in over x amount of time" rut.
@PinkLady2015 That's probably where I need to start. I'll leave work feeling ready to go, "tonight is the night" then one little thing will happen or not happen right and I'm like yeah right, you aren't touching me. Get it in check, momma! You want this.
@pinkpenguin32 I am so with you! Every time I think that tonight's the night we'll get out of the rut, something happens or my mood shifts once I actually get home that we just never do it. It also doesn't help that I've rarely enjoyed any of the pregnant sex we have had. I just get so uncomfortable.
re: brave people commenting on pregnancy. I had a lady in a donut shop ask me when the baby was arriving. um...if I'm in a donut shop at 10:30 a.m. on a weekday, there might be another reason my belly is big.
@pinkpenguin32 I've been feeling like a disappointment lately too. I'm on pelvic rest so there's nothing happening in that department, and I just feel grumpy and guilty about it. My husband is being totally understanding, but I'm so worried he's secretly annoyed/disappointed/upset.
@maddmama Peeing blood would make me panic. I hope you feel better soon.
@pinkpenguin32 I have no desire either but I am also on pelvic rest so I couldn't even if I wanted to. I worry DH is disappointed but he says he's fine. I hope you can find a solution that works for both of you!
Yep we're on scheduled weekend morning sex ATM. It's not that I don't want any, it's just that when the moment actually arrives I always feel like a big ol uncomfortable whale and always want to say "maybe later". Like later I'll somehow be magically hot and sexy again... Yeah later never comes.
@noelietrex yeah, pre-pelvic rest I was 100% happy to masturbate when I wanted but always felt like a beached whale when I was thinking sex might be a good choice. If I ever get sprung from pelvic rest I might have to start scheduling it- morning sex is probably a really good idea!
I feel so much better knowing I'm not alone! I get so frustrated when I read each week that I'm supposed to be ready to go. Hubs leaves before 5:30. Yuck, but I might have to make the effort and go back to sleep.

****stuck in this bedamned box*****
I wouldn't accept that hands down.... If you can get them to u/s your kidneys, do. You might have a stone. I bled off and on to varying degrees (up to "hey is this urine or Hawaiian punch?") And for like a year after. They kept saying UTI and giving me abx. I spent $1000 on that uselessness before I took myself to a urologist and got diagnosed with 8mm stones.

@maddmama that sucks. I hope you feel/get better soon.
@pinkpenguin32 I was like a teenager during 1st trimester but I've joined the fuzzy sock/go to bed early club now. LOL! You're not alone.
@pinkpenguin32 morning.sex.
