As much as I really appreciate everyone bringing us food, flowers, and baskets of goodies while I was in the hospital, I think it's crazy that I am expected to write thank you notes for all of it. My MIL even bought us thank you notes. So what am I going to do? Grudgingly write those damn thank you notes.
We're expected to write thank you's for that stuff? Yikes...I'm hoping we don't get anything then! It may make me sound lazy, but that's the last thing on my list!
I really might not. I'm going to ask my parents what the etiquette is.
@yogahh My confession is a piggy back off yours: I have people in mind that I don't think are pg
It creeps me out that people would pretend to be pregnant and then even more they have the time to creep on pregnancy message boards as if they were pregnant. These thoughts never crossed my mind until now.
I wouldn't have thought of this either but it's entirely possible. It's really creeping me out now!
same. and now i'm dying to know who @doozer1345 thinks are the catfish(ers)?
I guess my confession for the week is that I don't understand why anybody would pretend to be pregnant on the Internet.
Don't get me wrong, I totally believe it happens. People are weird as hell. I just can't wrap my head around what their mindset is.
If I wanted to gin up fake drama I'd go hang out on one of those boards for cheated-upon spouses and pretend to be a cheater. I bet you'd get allll kinds of attention then.
Because there are a lot of losers out there...
Yup. It's crazy scary. I can't imagine wasting my time doing something like that. Why pretend to be pregnant? It's just weird. did you guys hear about that girl who faked being pregnant for a whole nine months? She wore fake bellies, bought ultrasound pictures off the Internet, and even had a baby shower! Wtf.. People are NUTS!

It hadn't occurred to me either and now it's all I can think about. I love speculating.
Tonight we went out to dinner with the ILs and they decided on a restaurant where we were trying to be nice but tell them that this restaurant has terrible service but MIL insisted. As the waitress brings out the wrong beer she comments on my cute belly then accidentally spills the entire beer into my lap. I had to jump up and run down the street to a local store and buy a new outfit. By the time I returned the food had arrived and Dh's beer was still not there. The manager came by and apologized ( as did the waitress) and comped all of our meals. So of course I did not feel bad about ordering Chocolate Fudge cake.

I swear that I am pregnant - even if I've never participated in HDBD. I seriously don't take selfies, but how about I post a picture of my cankles on Wednesday - would that suffice as proof? Lol.

Ditto... usually I just take pictures of my cat. I suppose I do have one selfie of me and my cat, but you can't tell I'm pregnant since the picture is a close-up to show how my cat likes to snuggle me with his face jammed into the side of my face.
Pretending to be an actual catfish would be so much more interesting than pretending to be pregnant.
Maybe I should go with that one.
One of the guys who moved our stuff to our new place yesterday kept talking about catfish noodling- where you fish for catfish by sticking your hand into holes and crevices and let them bite you. Don't know why he wanted to talk about that with us.
Oh, I thought of a good one while trying to fall asleep last night. ..
I think Shamrock Shakes are disgusting.
ME TOO (and I salute your bravery in being the first one to say it!).
I also think Jimmy John's is inedible and Jimmy John, the person, is completely terrible and never getting a cent out of me (not that this is some great ethical stand, given that I don't like the chain's food anyway).
But Shamrock Shakes are worse. I can imagine trying to pick apart a Jimmy John's sandwich and salvage something out of it if I hadn't eaten anything in three days. I don't think three days of starvation would get me to touch a Shamrock Shake.

You're spot on re: the owner of Jimmy John's. However, my day late Fffc is I try not to let my code of ethics/morals stand in the way of pregnant eating.

shameless.
I despise JJ. They try to go lightening speed since that is their MO, and always got DH order wrong. After a few times I told them to slow down because they ruin my order, they just laughed at me. I called corporate, complained and got a free sandwich coupon in the mail. HOWEVER that doesn't solve my problem with JJ.
Sometimes I wonder if everyone on the BMB is actually pregnant. I dont have doubts about anyone specifically, but being the internetz you just never know.
This is why I didn't join the super early FB group ... we definitely had some catfish in my last BMB, including a Mod who collected money for a late loss mom (around 20 weeks?) and then didn't ever buy the gift, just pocketed that ish! Dirty!! So I'm down for a FB group (and joined one for my BMB around 7/8 months) but not in first tri when we hadn't weeded out some creepy lurkers first! Even then, we had one on our FB who made up all kinds of stories constantly. She was pregnant but that just made me feel really bad for her DD when she kept ending up in the hospital with batteries in her stomach or dozens of other fishy weird stories...
I think i remember this. Is she the one that photoshopped bank statements and all that? Wasn't my BMB but we talked about i
Angel baby June 2013, DD born 22 April 2014, BFP 10 Sept 2015 - Due 22 May 2016
I can't even email it to myself! I have also tried saving it from my phone to desktop and uploading that way...wont work!! I thought it was a Droid thing! Lol so now im stumped.
@kami09Are you not able to load from the app? I go to the reply, click on the attach file icon, click (aka press) the browse files, it will prompt files from Dropbox or pictures for me, pick the picture, and reply. Now, I can't add narrative on the phone which is why mine usually says ETA with my week, etc. on it. I think the narrative thing though is a Bump issue. I get an error notice saying I need permission if any responses are longer than a sentence on here through my phone. I've reported that more times than I care to admit.

@doozer1345 nope. Every time I try, it says "File is not allowed". Even from my computer. I'll have to take pics on my camera once DD is born so that I can AW. lol

Yes!! I uninstalled the app for like a month. I was really upset about the whole thing! Ugh. A ton of other bmbs and parenting, etc started pulling up zombie threads and calling out people on out board who had joined her in bullying people way before everyone knew, which I had stayed out of but it was ugly for a while. After the mass exodus from TB a few months after our LOs were all born, my old bmb is a ghost town.

I remember that, it wasn't my bmb but I think a couple of months before mine. 2014 had a ton of fake people. I'm really happy this board is chill.
I know we moved off the doughnuts thing, but I just resd this and REALLY want one now! I'm considering waking up early to go out and get some before work.

Also-- I just gotta say, that catfish stuff got me paranoid. So for all the Droid users out there, it's not our fault we can't participate in HDBD.
ETA: paranoid that people think I'm not preg.
