    Guys. I'm like freaking out. I want to post my announcement on fb but I'm so nervous about people's reactions. Why am I nervous? What the heck!

  • @books&icecream - LOL @ the picture. That's awk - maybe it's a German thing.

    I tried the doppler last night - no luck finding the baby though. At our last ultrasound the baby was moving so much it took the tech forever to actually zero in on the HB, so I'm not freaking out. I also did some Googling and found that while the doppler I bought had good reviews, I think they were all fake because every board mentioning it says it sucks. So, don't buy an AngelSounds doppler. I found the placenta and other swooshy sounds.

    I was nervous too. I figured, I would be nervous no matter when I posted so I might as well rip off the bandaid.

    Gah. I've been like mentally preparing myself for hours. I feel so ridiculous.

    ETA : I want to make an announcement before some picture surfaces where I am obviously pregnant and everyone is like wtf?!

    ^^ also it made WAY more sense before TB melted down at the end of 2014 and everyone deleted their profiles.

    Ah!! Smart!!
  • Yessss! When you were talking about the thread @kmolleltz I went and tried to look for it and couldn't find it. Thanks for posting! Now I know how I'm going to be spending my lunch hour today.

  • @kmolleltz we haven't posted our FB announcement yet either, even though we've had the picture ready since February. Some of my friends/sorority sisters have posted announcements due in November, so I guess we're behind the game. We wanted to wait until we knew the gender, but may post next week after my next check up, which is two weeks before our ultrasound.

    @kmolleltz This is kind of a creeper post, but I'm curious how you ended up in Tanzania (assuming you aren't from there). I know that you work with Neema Village (because that video you shared). Is your husband from Tanzania?

    Of course, if you think this is creepy, feel free to ignore. ;-) I thought maybe you had shared on another thread and I'd missed it.

  • omg @ladyshark311 they have it at my whole foods and a random bagel place. Try whole foods! I'm obsessed w pomegranate pear too
  • @kmolleltz This catfish thread is crazy!!!  I can't believe this actually happened!  P.S. I was going to post a bump pic for HDBD, but realized I'm wearing the same shirt from a couple weeks ago. Think I'll wait to change...
  • @kmolleltz I LOVE Jersey Mike's. Like, I used to eat there once a week. But the warm deli turkey just grosses me out and ruins the sandwich for me. I have made a request for one immediately after the baby is born. Thanks in advance, Hubby  ;)

  • My Aug13 board was nicknamed the mean girls club. We were VICIOUS. I miss that dynamic, lol. TB is so tame now it's boring.

  • @Julia70286 I know!  They do sound like mean girls.  I was surprised at the one that asked "so did you cheat with a man or a woman?"  whoa.  ha.  i mean obviously it didn't matter because the person is fictitious... but still....

    Also you guys, I don't know what to wear to the Beyonce concert tomorrow. :(  The friend I'm going with is like "i bought this jumper that's plunging neckline..."  and I don't have anything fabulous that fits me!  What do people wear to concerts nowadays?  Can't I just wear jeans?

    I'm a reg/mod on TK and I remember the news of this made it over to us! We had a catfish a little while back too.

  • OMG getting deeper and deeper into the catfish thread, and I CANNOT believe it!  Who has that much time in their hands?  
  • @annabenanna I have been thinking the SAME THING! And then I read the post that was pointed out that she asked A LOT of questions... I mean the whole thing is creepy, but I watch catfish so I know people do that stuff for shits n' giggles, but it seems like she was data mining and that totally gives me the heebs.

  • oh god I wish I had better service at work to read that stuff. guess it'll be for bedtime reading! 
  • F47F47 member
    @Julia70286 Uh oh. And a page back I asked @kmolleltz details about her life in Tanzania. I promise I'm not a catfish!

    @annabenanna I say when you're pregnant, you are allowed to wear jeans to a Beyonce concert. Scratch that. Pregnant or not, jeans are ideal for a concert. Unless you're outside and it's super hot.

    Also, did the catfish ever come back? I made it to page 11 when "she" was officially outed. I assumed no, but I couldn't keep spending my time reading at work. lol

  • @annabenanna YES! That is exactly the post I was talking about. What a bully! Wish I had ideas for your concert attire, but I would be no help. Last concert I went to was Outside Lands in 2011 (2010? I can't even remember!)

    Hahaha! @F47 I think we are ALL interested in the details of @kmolleltz's life in Tanzania! It's totally interesting!

    I know right???  I'm over here like:



    and like @ibabyloveb87 , no actual work is getting done.  

    @Julia70286 , I have a friend who has a slight obsession with Outside Lands.  Is that the one where it's kinda post-apocalyptic and Mad Max-like?  I would have NO idea what to wear to that.... while pregnant. :)
  • whooops @Julia70286 , I was confused:  Outside Lands, not the same as Wastelands. LOL https://www.wastelandweekend.com/
