Not guaranteed to be flame free...

Also I miss Dexter...

nanner26 · April 2016

So I must confess that I'm not sure if I've ever changed a diaper. At least not that I can remember. I haven't held a baby in about 6 years.

I'm taking food to a friend tonight who just had a baby and so I'm a little nervous. I know I probably sound crazy but I keep thinking I will have my own baby in about 4 months and it just doesn't seem real.

My daughter has kindergarten round-up today and I'm more looking forward to leaving work at noon than anything. I'm just going to drop her off and go home (parents don't stay, I guess) and then pick her up a couple of hours later. I can't wait to NOT be in the office on this beautiful Friday afternoon!

Another confession: I'm currently halfway through my Bachelor's program (online) and I recently decided to just do all of the group projects by myself. Anytime I leave stuff up to my group-mates, we get points deducted, and I'm too much of a perfectionist to get less than an A on anything. Not sure if my group will love me or hate me for this. Oh well.

A lot of people are offering/giving me hand-me-down baby stuff, which I'm very grateful for. But sometimes I just want a brand new shiny thing, you know?

bearsandbeets7 · April 2016

I recently decided that after all the drama we've had with my inlaws recently that I was just going to quit asking about them ect. DH went up there by himself this past weekend while I was at my sisters house warming party. I am secretly dying to ask DH about it but we've actually had a really good week so I'm not. I just want to know if they've said anything about DD not coming with him last weekend. Ugh

I 100% agree with this. My SIL and MIL were so upset my SIL got rid of all of my nieces clothes when we found out this one is a girl. I was happy! They dressed my niece in cute things but that was almost 8 years ago and can't my kid have new clothes, too?

They also want to give me her cloth diapers. That one just seems a little gross to me. I'll buy new ones, thanks.

I never liked the show Friends. When my roommates would watch it in college I found it tedious and annoying.

Bookhousegirl · April 2016

I don't get why people get worked up over other parent's name choices. If it's not my kid, I really don't care what you name him/her. I obviously have names that I love and ones that I would never name my own child, but in the scheme of parenting decisions, this is one I don't feel any need to judge.

mmclark10 · April 2016

@Snaps816 Totally understand! My cousin couldn't understand why I didn't want all of her used baby gear. Honestly, some of it was VERY dirty and I couldn't get it clean.

No more Miss! · April 2016

Kinda not concerned with L&D this time because it's only one day of my life (hopefully as short as last time), and once baby is here they'll be so many other things to worry about and be exhausted from.

My DH is a little sarcastic and blasé about it, "You can have a baby anywhere, right?" Lol

mmclark10 · April 2016

Pretty much everyone in my department (which is new to the company, created about 14 months ago) is looking for new positions. As am I, but am terrified I will be the last one left because I'm 23 weeks pregnant and won't be able to find anything before maternity leave. I know I should be grateful that I have a job, that has maternity leave and the option to even be considering other jobs at this point. But I have to use my brain more or I will go crazy. And so will DH from listening to me.

AliKay20 · April 2016

I don't care what you have to say about childbirth or pregnancy symptoms or whatever else you feel you need to shove in my face because I'm a noob as a FTM.

If I want your opinion, I'll ask - like how I do on this board. You think I'm having a boy, oh wait, you KNOW I'm having a boy based on how I carry (shithead, I'm having a girl)? Don't get an epidural? Don't name my kid so and so because...? This is why I don't feel the need to announce my pregnancy on social media. So many unsolicited advices from people I can care less about. And don't you fking dare touch my belly.

kristynmac · April 2016

I don't post on the ticker change or HDBD. I really should do the ticker, because I do like to be involved. As for HDBD, well I may feel like I look ok and have the right light, the picture still comes out like this...

texasmama2014 · April 2016

I gained quite a bit my last 2 doctors appointments and its completely due to me eating horrible. My doctor kind of said something about it. I'm super embarrassed and disappointed in myself. I know I should just be happy that I am gaining and doing great, but I feel like I'm poisoning my baby with junk.

As a Canadian I hate watching any movie or tv show where they will talk about a Canadian city and say something along the lines of Toronto, Canada or Vancouver Canada. No. Just no. It's Toronto Ontario, and if you need to add Canada sure go ahead. However Canada is not a state, province or territory. It irks me.

This is not directed to American media since many other European countries and Russia also do it. I try to be educated enough to know about other countries or to at least do some research. I would never say Houston USA, that's just dumb.

I also understand that America is way more popular and talked about than Canada but still.

Hope I didn't insult anyone since it was not my intention. It's directed more towards Hollywood and their ignorance.

I don't get the whole craft beer craze. I also may "pretend" I think batches of beer my husband brews special recipes are good.

tmk0325 · April 2016

I took myself for ice cream a few times this week after work. SO doesn't need to know. I blame my OB for saying I'm on the low end of the weight spectrum for twins and the twins for craving it.

I don't usually post on the ticker change day either. Mostly because I am lazy and usually mobile bumping.

"how many weeks?" 21. That was an easy answer. I got this.
"How Big is Baby?" Leaves thread to look up the fruit of the week.
"GTKY?" Scrolls back up, what was the question again? Ugh, never mind I quit.

Bookhousegirl · April 2016

@texasmama2014 you are so not alone on this one. With my last pregnancy I gained so slowly and was much healthier (exercised more, ate better, etc) but this time it's so much harder. I think it's partially because I have a 2 year old and I don't have the same energy or time to devote to myself. Either way, I keep reminding myself that as long as I'm not going crazy, and being semi-balanced, the baby is getting what he needs and I will get my body back at some point. This isn't forever!

Now my second confession is that I'm pretty sure I've only eaten carbs today... So much for that balanced eating thing.

But do you say Paris, France? Or Paris, Ile-de-France? Cancun, Mexico? Or Cancun, Quintana Roo? Other countries have states/provinces too.

My pregnancy brain has been extremely bad here recently and it's been really bad with me trying to talk or formulate sentences on here. I apologize to any grammar police out there because I'm sure my posts make you crazy. I don't have enough energy to correct things or retype statements so they make more sense.

FWIW, I'm a self-proclaimed grammar nazi and I've never noticed your posts as being offensive.

My FFFC is that there are a couple posters on here I completely skip over whenever I see their names because they can't even be bothered to use punctuation and I got tired of trying to decipher their posts.

Nikkoli98 · April 2016

@Bookhousegirl, I'm pretty sure I've only eaten carbs for about a week. :-(

JournoGrl23 · April 2016

@Lynnlove28 I'm a copy editor at a newspaper, so grammar is my living. But your posts haven't bothered me at all. I can't judge because even though this is my job, I've been having grammatical and spelling errors like crazy in my posts. I'm a mobile user and my phone doesn't point out my spelling errors. Plus I've got the pregnancy brain thing going on too and I'm pretty sure I've used words that make absolutely no sense.

@Texasmama2014 and @Bookhousegirl I've been feeling so guilty about the way I've been eating too! I've been trying to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into my diet lately, but ever since I got pregnant I've given in to pretty much all of my cravings. At least once a day (sometimes twice...) I'll either have ice cream or doughnuts or something unhealthy that a coworker brings into work. I've gained 18 pounds so far, so I feel a little guilty. But at the same time, I really enjoy eating it.

gadzooks_3 · April 2016

I never look at the HDBD thread because photo threads ALWAYS make the bump app crash on my phone. Sorry y'all, I'm sure you are lovely.

Edited because my phone autocorrect to strange things and I have fat fingers. I am probably guilty of the poor grammar posts, my phone loves to change "for" to "fir" and other strange alterations.

Guilty! I read and correct agreements all day and I use bump as my break from being grammatically correct. It's as badass as I can be lately.
