  • I despise my husband right now for not feeling yucky like I do even though he's getting a baby out of this too...... not fair! lol

  • I'm speaking at a national conference next week and I just started working on my slides. I'm so stressed, yet also don't care. I need to get motivated!!
  • @hwells920 I just said this to my husband yesterday! it's not fair 

    I am craving Fritos. I haven't had them in forever and now I'm wondering if the vending machine has them. 
  • @bnsmith85 I just came on to ask if everyone else is as utterly exhausted as I am today! Easter kicked my butt, I feel like I need 2 days of sleep to recuperate!

  • I didn't sleep well last night so I'm kind of a bitch today but WTF is up with the 1st Tri post basically asking if she's showing yet before her damn pee stick is dry?! Come on, people cannot be that stupid. Also, the poor TTGP ladies are dealing hella drive by "Am I pregnant?" posts. It's taking all my will power not to jump in. The interwebs are full of crazies today.

  • @MRSCORKER sorry you didn't sleep well :/
    the SS posts are the WORST! I have to just refrain from replying at all, the snark would be too much.
  • I got irrationally angry at a coworker for messing with my whiteboard. In my defense is how I keep the bids straight don't touch it!  :#
  • Sooo our toilet stopped up for good last week (not the temporary kind that gets fixed with a plunger). Tried four different kinds of plungers and a toilet auger, no dice, so we called a plumber (covered under our home warranty). He came this afternoon and his auger broke in our toilet. He'll have to come back later with more parts. We don't have kids or dogs or anything - I guess our cat could have put or knocked something in, or it could have been from the previous owners (we haven't been here a year yet). However, I'm terrified that it will turn out to be something of mine and my husband will blame me!


  • I'm one of the quiet ones. I really have been in a funk for the last week or so. Not sure if it's pregnancy related or just a mood. Trying to perk up a bit. Maybe now that just the thought of working out doesn't exhaust me I'll give it a shot.
  • I'm thinking of starting a TMI Tuesday thread (tomorrow). I looooved TMI Tuesdays on my last BMB. Made me feel a little more normal and a little less disgusting.

  • I know many of you don't like maternity photos, but I won a free session today and I'm thrilled because she's the photographer I've chosen to capture the birth of lil bean. Now I'll at least get to meet her before she's all up in my biznast with a camera. 
  • @TurtleMomma do it!  I think it's a great idea!

    @rozANDbensince2001, I was laughing at her story!  Especially when she said she was making out with him and all she could think of was "i have a poop in my purse" LOL.  Easter is a weird one for me too because SO is Jewish and I'm Catholic, so I feel like I can't go all out.  Haha.  Also, on another note:  Since you have Ben on your username, I'm gonna assume your DH's name is Ben, correct?  Trivia:  My ex-H's name is Ben, and SO's name is ALSO Ben, LOL.  But I can't call him Ben, because that would be too weird... So I call him by his second name:  Daniel.  
  • edited March 2016
    @annabenanna Yes! I was reading and I was thinking this girl is just totally nuts! I mean, I can imagine the embarrassment, but would I ever grab a piece of poop and put it in my purse? Prooooobably not. 

    Yes, DH is named Ben! That is so funny! Calling him by his middle name is a fantastic solution to that weirdness! I always wondered about that actually and also about people who date people with their parent's/sibling's name? Would that be weird? I'm Thai, but I've never dated anyone Asian because I have 1.4 million cousins and it's too familiar for me--I just couldn't. But I'm a big fat weirdo. 

    ETA: Sorry I digressed. I'm tired and seem to just be typing whatever comes to mind :blush:

    To piggy back on my previous post... I was just Lurking Dec 16 and someone actually intro'd over there even though she hasn't gotten a positive HPT. She just knows she's pregnant and the test is wrong apparently. The crazies are out!! 
    I mean, I hope she's right but still. That's pretty weird to me. 
    @MRSCORKER - ha! Is that the chick who posted in the intro thread? When people called her out she was like "guys it's cool, my symptoms totally line up." Not enough eye rolls.

    Yes! She had a negative pee test but intro'd anyway because she's "never late" and has symptoms.

  • @MRSCORKER - you'd be amazed at how often stuff like that occurs. Whenever I try to direct those lost souls to TTGP, I get called a meanie.

    Oh to be that confident. I'm predicting she would be one of those parents whose kid is never wrong and is the best at everything.

    My random today is my family.  We told parents about the pregnancy this Sunday.  I still felt like it was a little early, but DH was DYING to tell someone, we'd had a good ultrasound Saturday, and we were seeing his parents in person, so we decided the timing was okay.  My family is all OOT so I told my mom over the phone and swore her to secrecy except for my dad.  We decided not to tell my siblings yet because we're still only at 9 1/2 weeks, because sister #1 is going through a rough time right now and I didn't want to be all "hey sorry your life sucks but I'm totes KTFU!," and because sister #2 has my little nephew and I wanted to tell them by facetiming them and showing them the "BEST COUSIN EVER" shirt we got for him, which we've ordered but has not arrived yet.

    So sister #2 tries to facetime with me twice Sunday night (we missed her calls because we were having dinner with the in-laws).  This is a relatively rare occurrence, especially at night because she usually only facetimes when the nephew is up, but it was Easter so I didn't think too much of it.  Then she tries to facetime with me AGAIN last night.  Nephew is up but it's his bedtime, and she and her husband are asking all these questions about how we're doing, clearly fishing for information, asking when they're going to see us again (we literally just saw them last month), talking about rearranging summer travel plans and maybe coming to me instead of doing the get-together we were planning at my parents house .  .  .

    Yeah, I'm like 90% certain that my mom spilled the beans to sis, and sis is just waiting for me to tell her.  Damn it, Mom -- can't this be my news to share when I'm ready?

  • Also, I'm either getting a cold, or my allergies are particularly bad right now, or I have pregnancy rhinitis.  Whatever it is it seriously sucks.

    Read their intro thread and then their symptoms thread. If you only read symptoms you'd think she was pregnant. @missteacherlady16

    WAIT JUST KIDDING. I was totally reading that thread wrong. Fake-preggo is NOT posting in symptoms!! I need coffee...

    ETA: I edited my previous posts to avoid shaming the wrong person  :#

    @MRSCORKER @missteacherlady16 the crazy not-pregnant chick is posting in their symptoms thread. It's taking all my willpower not to respond. I don't really need to be banned over that!

    Dec '16, you say?

     
    She did post in the "How will you reveal the big news thread". I'm oddly fascinated by this.

    Ahh, I'll hold off on saying anything just yet. But I'm oddly fascinated by it too, and curious to see how this turns out.
