@crdo- nah! Enjoy it!!

Oh, every bite was delish. I'd never tell good food no. Gimme.

.....So this happened. I blame this thread for the sandwich. The cake just jumped in my cart, and I didn't have the heart to tell it "no".

I got that same cake from publix on Sunday and ate both pieces to myself. It was amazing. And I got a serving of fruit out of it right?!

NicknShan · March 2016

Ha. Chub rub. I will never think the same again when I hear that term.

I I passed my GD test today. But was also a little off. My BP was 87/40 and that was before the test started. My glucose levels were also extremely low after the 1 hour test. So - something was off.

On another note, I had conversations with not 1, but 2 people today that proudly proclaimed they were D. Trump supporters. That made me want to vomit more than the GD test.

@PBear93 and @KOR121 you ladies are life savers!

starkeyclan · March 2016

My husbands first thought for "chub rub" was apparently a spice rub...and then dirty. I'm not sure what to think of this.

Mr0616 · March 2016

But....but...I don't have a Publix near me.
Yet, another reason to move to Florida.

EXACTLY. The fruit totally counts.

Hahahahah!!! Two strawberries and four blueberries is a serving of fruit?! Don't tell my kids that

I can't talk, though. I'm convinced sour cream and lots of cheese and ice cream makes up for my lack of milk drinking.

MamaNicoleof3 · March 2016

@NicknShan- sounds like a rough day

will they do anything about the super low blood sugar and BP?

There were lots of berries in the filling in between the cake layers, so totes counts!

Hey, that stuff's dairy!

If everyone could please ask
their husbands what they think chub rub means.....that would be amusing.

H: "something for your penis or you know, a 'chubby'"...which is apparently slang for penis as well.. this from the man who had never heard the term "Itty bitty titty committee"

No. But I went and got a cheeseburger immediately after the appointment. My OB is right next door to McDonalds. Cruel.

crdo · March 2016

Is it just me, or does anyone else read "GD test" and automatically think "god**** test"? Happens every time, even though I know good and well that's not what it means.

@NicknShan: Glad you passed!

QBF

Mine actually knew! We were walking and I said, "god. My thighs are rubbing together. It's so gross." and he said, "ah. You got that chub rub going on." He grew up with 6 sisters though so that's probably why.

mkemommy · March 2016

@crdo - Oh my goodness, that looks delicious!!! I'm glad you enoyed it.

@lilwatz - WTF, why tell you to file an appeal and then refuse to read it? I would be yelling tomorrow morning at them if I was you.

Bear14+ said:

Hey guys question...I'm rotating through all the dr's at my practice and today the one I saw said I don't have to get another tdap because I got one when I was pregnant with my son in 2014. Isn't the whole point to pass immunity to the new baby? I'm confused.

"
We recommend administration of the tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) to all pregnant women in each pregnancy between 27 and 36 weeks of gestation, even if the woman has a previous history of pertussis or vaccination (Grade 1B). Tdap is given to reduce the risk of maternal pertussis, and thus transmission to the infant, in whom pertussis can be lethal or have significant morbidity. Placental transfer of maternal antibodies may also provide a degree of passive protection of the infant against pertussis for two to six months. (See 'Tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis vaccination' above.)

Welp, it finally happened. Sitting here watching tv and I snissed. Awesome.

Man that's really low BP! Do you still feel off?

fishwife799 · March 2016

I just came across this on pinterest and it made me think of you ladies.

Lilwatz · March 2016

Update! So I don't rant and run. I called the insurance company last night and I will say, their customer service is very nice. So, when I called on Sunday they told me the doctor had to submit a prior authorization form. This is what they refused to review. Now that he has officially done that he can submit an appeal. Which apparently, they claim they will review. Ugh. BUT! They authorized it for one month in the meantime, which I really do appreciate. So, here's the (chub) rub: It's $129/month uncovered. If they cover it, it's...wait for it...$120/month.

The good-ish news is that I have a coupon from the drug company (that only works if insurance covers it at all) which is bringing it down to $77.60. Still ridiculous, but better than $129...I guess?

Bear14+ · March 2016

Thank you to everyone who responded to my question about the Tdap. I thought it was really weird that she said I did not get it, I have to see her again in two weeks and definitely going to have more questions. It's interesting to me that out of the 6 doctors I rotate to, she is the only
midwife.

Well, I just got through all 94 comments that I missed and just have to say, as a Florida native & resident, Publix rocks!

MamaNicoleof3 · March 2016

Uffda. The medical field is just ridiculous in pricing. No wonder everything is astronomical. Glad you at least got some answers, @Lilwatz!

MamaNicoleof3 · March 2016

We're getting a lot of drive bys again. TOTS!!!

My thoughts exactly. And none of them seem to know how the search function works.

crdo · March 2016

@Lilwatz: A whopping -$9/month...hmph. Good that you were able to get the issue worked out, and that you have a coupon to bring the price down!

Sydvicious08 · March 2016

@NicknShan did you find a dress?

NicknShan · March 2016

@CourtJack my appetite is really off. I usually want to eat everything. Now I feel full and just want to sleep.

Yup, ditto. Hope your BP and sugar regulates soon so you feel better!

And they all follow a similar "hi, I'm new here and clearly haven't spent any time looking for what I want to know, be my personal Google kthanxbai" tone too....

MamaNicoleof3 · March 2016

I passed my one-hour GD test! Wooo!!

also, @NicknShan- after I hemorrhaged and had two blood transfusions after an MC, my BP was ridiculously low for a long time. You could try eating some salty things or drinking Powerade/Gatorade for the sodium and it may help bump your BP up a bit so you aren't so sleepy.

That's great! Mine is next Tuesday, and every time I open my fridge and see that facking orange drink in there I feel like this

Lilwatz · March 2016

Congrats, @MamaNicoleof3!!!!!!

My randoms:

1) Someone shared a two-year-old video of a dying father and his daughter getting dressed up like it was her wedding and filming their father/daughter dance. I lost it. Cue all the ugly tears.

2) I have a Kinderpack problem and every time I think I have all the carriers I need, I find another I want. Anyways, my newest one is arriving in the mail TODAYYYYYYYY! I am, hopefully, going to sell one of my old ones to not be completely ridiculous. I really only need one per size.........

Mine is next Tuesday too! I feel the same way when I see my like drink in the fridge. I'm terrified I'll passive aggressively forget to take it to work with me.

goldie987 · March 2016

@MamaNicoleof3 woo on passing your test!

I am 99% sure I passed mine, they haven't called yet but my results are up online and were in the normal range specified by the test so I'm tentatively celebrating.

Good luck to those of you doing yours next week, the drink (at least the one I got) wasn't that bad, honestly. It really was very much like a slightly overly sweet flat soda.

ahernandez16 · March 2016

Yesterday we went to an outlet mall and they had a few baby stores that I dragged H into. He kept saying,

"He's not even here yet so why does he need clothes now?"

"Well... he'll be here in 12 weeks."

"What!?! Don't say that. Who let us do this!?!"

I kept my cool a little better, but I think I gave us both a heart attack.

12. Weeks. It's literally almost mid March. How?

Mr0616 · March 2016

@ahernandez16 I send my H a weekly countdown. Then it's usually the same...holy shit we are having a baby!
