I am legit stoked that DS tolerates my Miyazaki movies. I can only watch Cars so many times before I go apesh!t, gotta mix it up a little. Currently watching Kiki's Magical Delivery Service.

My husband and I decided that our son's first movie is going to be My Neighbor Totoro - just as soon as he has the attention span for a whole movie.
So all this sandwich talk on the board led to a Potbelly trip for lunch today. I resisted buying an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie because I was trying to be good, because I wasn't that hungry, and because I didn't think I wanted a cookie that badly.
I was wrong. I apparently really, really wanted an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and am now super irrationally upset that I don't have one to eat. I should point out that I have a shitload of Easter candy in my office. But I don't want any of it. I want a damn oatmeal chocolate chip cookie, and I may have to make a second trip to Potbelly to go get one.

@simcal18 I'm sorry you didn't get your cookie, but hopefully you take that second trip and it is glorious! Ok I cannot tolerate abstaining from this lunchmeat talk anymore....all I can think about on a daily basis is taking handfuls and stuffing my face with the deli ham DH has in our refrig. I think I'm going to go ahead this weekend and get Potbelly since its at least toasted and has to be safer than what I've been fantasizing about doing....

Sadly, I have not gone to get my cookie. I am sitting in my office and have unfortunately reached the point where I am too exhausted to actually go and get myself sustenance that would make me less exhausted. I should emphasize that the Potbelly is less than half a block away from my office, so this would not be a major trip. I'm just that tired. I was seriously considering at one point spilling the beans to my work bestie and asking her if she could go get me a cookie and a coke, but then I realized how ridiculous that sounded. Aaaaand I'm stuck downtown until 7:30 because I have to pick DH up from the airport. A nap in my car may be in order . . .

I asked our kitchen staff for some little snack cookies to munch on yesterday because our lunch is not one that I prefer and immediately one of them asked if I was pregnant. Goooooooooodness gracious I can't want cookies for no reason?
Just got back from the dr, apparently no UTI or anything. She said the pressure and discomfort I'm feeling is probably just normal due to uterus/baby so I can expect it to last for the next 6 months yay! Lol but I got to hear the heartbeat again which is always reassuring
Had an OB appointment this morning and did the glucose test (which was not nearly as gross as I remember from last time). Talked to the midwife about my due date, and she moved it up 4 days based on my ultrasound from a month ago. Officially due October 8th now, wooo.
I moved to a new city almost a year ago now, and I really slacked on finding friends and such. Now I don't like this place because it just feels like my husband and I and I miss my hometown. I need to make friends! Plus bonfire and outdoor season is coming and we want people to do stuff with! (bad grammar, sorry)
We're going to try a church, and I have some people from work I'm going to try. But if anybody has gone through this and has advice, it's appreciated. It's hard to make new friends at this age.
@OrangeEv ugh if you figure it out let me know! I've never been good at it. We just moved 6 months ago and don't know anybody here. I'm also not working right now and DH works from home so it feels like we're completely isolated. Blegh

I keep going to Starbucks and hoping someone will just come be friends with me. I need to learn the art of being outgoing.

I moved 3 years ago and the only people I found out here are DH's friends. He is very anti-social so we lucked out that he had a co-worker who forced himself upon us. This one guy introduced us to a bunch of people who I am now pseudo-friends with. I tried work people and discovered that I don't want to hang out with them outside of work.
I'm with ALL of you ladies on the friends thing! I moved here three years ago and at the time I had a BF and all of his friends and family became my friends. We broke up and I worked from home so I really had NO friends after the breakup. All of my family and my FI's family live in MA so I do the same thing, go to public places and make small talk hoping to make friends! Lol I feel like such a loser! I did find a Mommy group in my local area, I'm going to join that for a start. The other thought I had was to maybe start a book club/group at the library down the street.
I currently live 30 minutes away from the town I grew up in and I don't have friends because I don't engage. Sometimes I wish I had friends, but then I remember that I'd probably have to talk to them and leave my house and stuff and I don't want to do that.
What I jumped on here to post was that I got a Similac sample in the mail today and it made me so happy! (At first I was worried that the formula would expire before my pregnancy got here but it apparently lasts a while). I plan to breast feed but having a sample is nice, and if I don't end up needing it I should know in enough time to donate it. It was in a present-shaped box and it felt nice that someone (ha ha some corporation) was celebrating me (trying to get my business) even though we haven't been telling many people yet.
@OrangeEv i moved to Canada a few years ago and was in exactly the same spot- it's so hard to make friends as an adult! In the end i sucked it up and joined a running group and a triathlon group in my area, and really put myself out there and invited some of the people i met to hang out outside the group. It feels weird and awkward at first but honestly you'll find that a surprising number of people are in the same position and are keen to make friends. I've been lucky and now have a great network of friends who i love, a lot of them were in my wedding last year. I moved again recently and plan to start some mommies groups and prenatal classes in hopes of meeting some new mum friends:) good luck!:)
Just read an article that someone in Ohio went to Taco Bell, saw it was closed, and got so mad they ran their car into the building so they could get their tacos. Which one of us was it?!

I have been in Co since 2009 and have one, now estranged, friend. I even tried doing direct sales as I way to force myself into interacting with others. That was a big fail. Why is it so hard to make friends as an adult? I have avoided mommy support groups like the plague but I guess I need to break down and start doing something. I've heard good things about mops. My daughter's are so social and love to play with other kids but have no real friends. It's my fault. I'm getting out of my comfort zone asap!!
@OrangeEv Once baby comes, join some mommy and me classes. That's how I met my best friends. You'll meet moms with kids right around the same age as yours and you'll totally get what they're going through and vice versa. You'll be amazed how much you can bond with someone over poop.
@smmatt08 found it! It was on the BabyCenter app. Here's the screenshot of the article. It also noted at the bottom that a lot of companies make maternity versions.
