i am gonna lose my mind waiting at the mfm. why make appointments if you don't keep them?
THIS! Drives me crazy! I have to pull away from work for 2 hours for an apt that takes 30 mins with 30-40 mins worth of driving time total. So I'm basically waiting around for someone for an hour. Such a time suck!
@kmolleltzThis is really random, but DH & I play in a trivia league every Tuesday night (yes we're big nerds!) and one of the world geography questions this week was about Tanzania - (the question was what body of water is surrounded by Tanzania, Kenya, & Uganda). I was like, "Oh, I know somebody that lives there, I wish I could ask her!" And then I tried to explain, "Okay, so I really don't know her, but...." and then tried to describe that I met you on a message board of pregnant women where we all congregate & talk about our issues, haha. I got some strange looks!

This struggle is soooo real. I've tried explaining this board to DH and several of my friends and they all look at me like like a mule looking at a new gate! It's 2016; you'd think people would be aware of the power of the interwebs!

Lol, I'm with you there ladies! Every time I tell SO "oh the ladies on my BMB..." he's like "oh your internet friends?" and then snickers a little.
@annabenanna@CopperBoom86@kaessi - Yes! My husband refers to the BMB as my internet friends, too! I was trying to explain to my mother - she looked at me like I had 2 heads.

My husband will ask me all the time... "whacha doin'? Bumpin?" I feel like he gets me, and this board hahaha. But my mom thinks we're all b*tches... she wants to defend all the SS posts. Ohhh mom
@annabenanna If you use Baby List you can add it. You can add home cooked meals and things like that. You can also import links to other registries so I have my Amazon & Target lists there, but then some random stuff from Etsy or whatever too. When it's time to share it I'll just share the Baby List link.

Ok, I love this "BMB in real life" conversation. My husband is weirdly proud of me for taking over the Thursday ticker change. We had friends over the other night and he said, "you should tell them about the bump!" So then I had to explain our BMB to two 20-something gay men who honestly had no idea what the hell I was yammering about.

Aaaaah stuck in the box! Haha. But YES to this. DH thinks you guys are sales reps posing as pregnant ladies because he says every time I come on I add something else to our wish list
OMG @rebeccuh , I'm in LOVE with Babylist. How did I ignore this before? I saw ads for it on Ovia, but ignored them.... now i'm in love. I'm adding things under the "it takes a village" category... and some of them are:
1.) Come over so Anna can shower, and if you're feeling extra generous, bring over some Pad Thai too. 2.) Babysitting Coupon: Please save our sanity and watch our angelic baby, so we can have time for each other.

I started a baby list registry and didn't know this was an option! Off to explore.

This pregnancy I kicked my Coke Zero habit. I've only had a couple since I've gotten BFP. But, just sat down at Chipotle with my chicken bowl and a fountain Coke Zero and OMG. My taste buds are dancing. Why is it so good? Like, my food pales in comparison.

Now I'm craving for Chipotle..... rice bowl + carnitas + guac please! I'm so sad there's none close to my work!

There is one right by my office! It's so good but last time I got a burrito bowl there my stomach did the pregnant lady "hungry hungry hungry OMG SO FULL YOU WILL FEEL LIKE AN INFLATED BALLOON FOR THE NEXT SEVEN HOURS" thing, so I am a little scared to go again. Maybe if I go and immediately divide my bowl in half I can avoid the bloated feeling from last time . . .

Uuuuuugh! Is there some way on this app to block posts about amazing American-only food?! I'm pretty sure the closest Chipotle is an 8-hour plane ride from here. And now I need to have it. Like, now. You people are KILLING me!
@annabenanna... I just heated up a questionable frozen lunch. If it's no good, I'm definitely running out to Chipotle now!
Also, another random for this week... I'm dying laughing right now. A while back, my inlaws invited us to go to the beach with them this weekend.Whenever they invite, they get a big condo for everyone. DH and I completely forgot until we saw it on the social calendar we keep (for this exact reason) when I looked a couple of weeks ago. So, we scramble to get people to take the pups and are busting our butts to get the house ready for the new carpet that's supposed to be installed on Monday. SO, this morning we get a group text from my MIL saying that they're heading to the beach for a long weekend and they'd love to see us up there if we feel like driving up. Obviously they forgot they invited us. I poked to see if they knew about room availability at their hotel, hoping to hear what is usually the case, that they got a condo for all. Nope! They definitely completely forgot and offered for us to stay in the room with them that has 2 queen beds. Ummm... I'm a hard no on that. lol So we're staying here and just heading to the lake house for the weekend... but the whole thing makes me laugh b/c I've been stressing all week about getting the house together for Monday... when it was never an issue to begin with. hahaha

I know this feeling exactly. That happened to me yesterday! I had a bagel with blueberry preserves + cottage cheese.... that was at 10AM.... I was full for 6 hours... didn't get to eat my lunch salad till 4pm.

make your own tonight for dinner! It won't be exactly the same but maybe it'll calm the craving

WTF happens with this? Does our body just decide to stop digesting for a while? I know progesterone can slow the digestive process down but it's ridiculous, and I never know when it's going to happen. One of the many things they never tell you about being pregnant . . .

Any why is it so random? Sometimes I eat a grape and I'm full for 5 hours. The next day, I'll eat an entire pizza and be hungry an hour later.

Mexican INGREDIENTS don't even exist here. No salsa, no black beans, no tomatillos, MIGHT find cilantro if you're lucky, SOMETIMES you can get avocados, certainly no cumin. This is not a new battle for me. Food is pretty much the only thing I really miss from the US and pregnancy is making it 10x worse.
Sorry I brought on the Chipotle crave. The struggle is very real. And yes, I feel like I'm going to pop. And...I'm still dreaming of that soda. It's an exciting life I lead.
I'm stressed out about 36,743,546,464,351,313 baby-related things and I would share the specifics, but typing them all out would make me even more stressed, so I'm gonna skip that and just say- I could use all the positive vibes you guys can send today.
@CopperBoom86 sending all the good vibes you're way! And if it makes you feel any better at all, you're not alone. I definitely have those moments where it all builds up... I usually have a meltdown lol
@bnsmith85 - I've tried to keep the meltdowns to a minimum. They usually freak DH out which, of course, makes things even worse.... Buuuuuuuuuuut I'm *this close* to an epic, Britney Spears circa 2007 meltdown.
Uhhh lol I just checked here when I got off the phone after melting down to DH's voicemail bc of baby-related and NBR stressors. So when he finally gets off work he has a nice, ugly cry-tastic message that's a couple minutes long. This is after being an exhausted raging bitch most of the week, and eating a disgusting amount of chocolate and cheesecake a half hour ago that apparently wasn't enough
