Randoms week of May 2nd

bearsandbeets7 · May 2016

Where has the year gone?! It's May already, which means that we only have 3 months(give or take) before these babies will be born.

nanner26 · May 2016

There are more months behind us than ahead of us! I lurk the other bmbs way too much and it's getting closer and closer!

ballofmeat · May 2016

I had my first oh shit moment this morning. I flipped our calendar to May/June and I saw in June our scheduled birth class. Whoa...I can say our birth class is next month already! I'm now starting to realize this is going to happen...

jamiesc58 · May 2016

I have been crying on and off all morning. Dh has been a SAHD since our 1 year old was about 4 months. She has only ever known staying with him while I go to work. He started a new job today and I had to be the one to leave her this morning. She is staying with my MIL, but doesn't really "know" her, as MIL never comes around to visit but like once a month. My poor baby was crying so hard. Cue "ugly pregnancy hormonal missing my baby like crazy" tears. I so bad just want to go pick her up. I know she will be fine but it still sucks!

lucypod · May 2016

Holy moly this summer is really sneaking up on us! I'm due Aug 2nd. so I am literally 3 months to the day from my due date! DH and I are starting birth classes tonight (AH!), baby shower is this weekend, and then mini-babymoon in a couple of weeks. Everything is starting to feel SO real and I'm starting to get so excited but nervous. I'm sure it's the hormones but I am starting to feel a little weepy and sad about the fact that these next few months are not only mine and DH's last few just the 2 of us for awhile, but also our dog's last few as an only "child." We cuddle and spoil her non-stop so it's weird to think about her not being the constant center of our attention all the time.

@jamiesc58 so many hugs to you! DS went through a really bad separation phase, and dropping him off at daycare was TORTURE! I dreaded it every single day. It does get better though, it just takes time!

Snaps816 · May 2016

I am due 8/27 so I'm only 23 weeks now. For some reason I was thinking I was on the cusp of the third trimester but then I checked and realized it doesn't start till 27-28 weeks or so. I am not usually that bad at math so I don't know why I thought I was so close! I am thrilled that it's May and I'm in my 6th month but it still feels like a long way to go. Fortunately DH and I have out-of-town plans for 3 out of the 4 weekends in May so the month should go by fast.

jamiesc58 · May 2016

@Bookhousegirl thank you! She is our 3rd child and neither of the other 2 had separation anxiety or stranger danger this bad at all. I know it will get better, I just want to skip to then lol.

Sekerambo · May 2016

This pregnancy has been going slower than I ever could have imagined. It feels like I've already been pregnant for years and I'm not due until the end of August.

And Monday's are usually the worst because they have spent an entire weekend with you and not in their routine.

AliKay20 · May 2016

I think I now know who the smelly catfishes may be...this may be overgeneralizing but here is my hypothesis (#3 & #4 are just additional notes lol):

1. They create a new thread on a topic that they probably know it already exists but do it anyway

2. In that thread, there's a bit of humble bragging going on/a way to promote something "indirectly"

3. Eyebrows have been raised today if my hypothesis stands true

4. Get the fk out you smelly fish

the_other_mother · May 2016

@AliKay20 I'd almost rather believe those are catfish rather than people are really that incompetent.

I feel like those are more likely trolls and people who are bored than harmful people at least

Yes this. More than likely bored trolls. I noticed on the July board another post about peeing in the pool. I KNEW that post here a week or so ago was a joke.

AliKay20 · May 2016

I guess trolls are better than real catfish with malicious motives. Now if there was a troll button on TB...

In other news, I got zero work done today. Cut my day short due to a vet appt for furbaby. He's allergic to everything so we are putting him on a strict hypoallergenic diet. Poor guy. No more rawhides, treats over the counter, you name it. Nada!

Also, this straight week and a half of rainy gloomy days need to GO. April showers no more, May. Get with it!

Mfuller76 · May 2016

@midwestbaby I saw that post on the July 2016 board too and immediately thought troll or catfish!

runsoncoffee · May 2016

@lucypod your post just made get all teary eyed here at my desk at work. I'll miss these times with just hubby and I and our furbabies too

I'm sure this new season of life will bring much joy, but I can't imagine how different it's going to be!

jamiesc58 · May 2016

@court5608 it is definitely not an easy transition when you are all sleep deprived, full of hormones, and not wanting your hubby to look at you let alone touch you. It takes it's toll. But if you stay strong together, you will be fine. Just remember 1. Have date nights, even if it is for an hour or so. Get out together and take a walk, hold hands, talk, and just spend time. 2. Don't be afraid to ask for help from other family members and friends. Don't try and take on the world alone. That just makes you bitter towards dh (in my opinion). 3. Remember why you fell in love with dh in the first place and decided to spend the rest of your life with him.

emmeline714 · May 2016

i feel the same way like where has time been going..... in 3 months or so we will all have healthy babies out..... I FEEL SO NOT READY..... I wish i could be pregnant forever

i got teary eye when i looked at my calendar when i have next doc appt and it will be beggining of 3rd trimester and my parents leave for 3 weeks to El Salvador and my mom keeps telling me if anything happens that you just don't feel good call Dr ASAP or go to hospital if you start feeling labor. Feel so overwhelmed YIKES Image result for so not ready to give birth memes

Katienu · May 2016

Am I the only one who doesn't understand the concept or need to contour your make-up? It seems like the biggest waste of time...I blame the kardashians for this stupid craze.

jamiesc58 · May 2016

@Katienu I am probably going to get a lot of laughs for this, but I honestly don't even know what it means to contour your make up??? I only wear make up if dh and I go out or to certain work functions and maybe church. I am pretty much au natural.

Mfuller76 · May 2016

I got about a mile down the road on my way to work this morning before realizing I forgot to put my contacts in. WTF pregnancy brain?!?

ballofmeat · May 2016

@Mfuller76 lol!

This reminds me I had my first pregnancy brain moment this week too. I was doing laundry and instead of grabbing a dryer sheet, I grabbed a handful of dog treats and tossed them into the dryer with the clothes. WTF? I had to dig them all out and needless to say I moved the container of dog treats to a different shelf.

nanner26 · May 2016

@midwestbaby That made me laugh!!

bearsandbeets7 · May 2016

@Katienu completely agree! The only thing this craze has done is cause my make up brushes to go up in price.

emmeline714 · May 2016

@Katienu I remember when i was much younger i was into all that but now like so little energy and don't really care how i look unless it is a special event or outing than i try. I always told my mom i will always look good when i get pregnant and i give birth, will not look rough at all and now i totally understand my mother why after she had us she did not really care about make up no more, i am getting to that point lol

Bookhousegirl · May 2016

Hahaha @midwestbaby, that is hysterical and totally something I could see myself doing.

@Katienu I find contouring to be fascinating and I've definitely watched a couple of videos because I think it's insane how it all comes together in the end. That being said, I would never do it to my own face. One, because I would never take that much time to get ready, and two, because most people end up looking crazy because you have to get it perfectly right for it to work.

bearsandbeets7 · May 2016

@Bookhousegirl my sister was playing around one day and tried to contour my face and it was terrible. I think for it to look right you have to have a decent quality product and kind of pile it on almost. My face would breakout so bad if I did my make up like that all the time.

bananers · May 2016

I bought a new bra today at lunch. Erm, the girls are two sizes bigger than I thought. Now that I'm in a bra that fits, I feel like a whole new woman.

kristynmac · May 2016

@bananers I really need to get a few new bras too. I have two that I am recycling through and they are looking pretty sad--my bra and my boobs.

AliKay20 · May 2016

"I'll cut up watermelon in ten minutes," he said.

Ten minutes?! For preggo craving anything, ten minutes is far too long. C'mon DH.

I took matters into my own hands which made him get off the couch immediately and get to it:

texasmama2014 · May 2016

Yesterday I was changing to go outside with my 22 month old DD, and she saw me with just my sports bra on and came running yelling "Baby!" she wanted to touch my belly and give her sibling a kiss. I melted. It was so so stinkin cute!!!

michelle_shelle · May 2016

This may be more of a UO but on HDBD I try to only like the pictures of the regulars or the ones that contribute to mare than just posting pictures to AW. I support my fellow bumpies that participate and give out advice and aren't always just asking for it.

kristynmac · May 2016

The more I hear about the backlash over the Old Navy add, the more pissed I get. It's 2016! Why is this even an issue?

I haven't heard anything about this. What's the problem?

Jaspertheyoungturnip · May 2016

@cait5413 they had an interracial family in an ad, and a bunch of racists came pouring out of the woodwork, saying they're going to boycott. While it's disgusting, and I'm disgusted by the sentiment, at least I don't have to do any shopping around them there or at Target anymore.

You make a great point!

AliKay20 · May 2016

Who knew a simple random act of kindness can go such a long way? I was exhausted going from meeting to meeting and finally had half an hour to stop by a deli/market before my next meeting. I grabbed some California rolls, water, and candy (for some sugar high). At check out, the cashier looked at my purchases, took a banana, then put it in my bag stating I should have it with my late lunch.

Cue the pregnancy hormones where I almost about cried my eyes out and just wanted to hug him. I hope I can pay it forward. Much needed esp. on a dreary hump day.

bearsandbeets7 · May 2016

@kristynmac their next ad should feature an interracial LGBT family so that way they can just piss everyone off. I'm so sick of the butt hurt society that we live in.

Ridiculous. What is wrong with people?

ballofmeat · May 2016

I have been looking at the May BMB birth announcements. It gets me all excited that we are getting closer! I'm trying to enjoy this pregnancy, but I think I am the most impatient person ever. We didn't think having children was an option for us and I just can't wait for her to be here. Also its so hard to keep her name and sex a secret!
