DH brought me home a huge bunch of purple gladioluses (gladioli, technically?), some tiramisu, and Chinese food. Plus, he found out his work trip next week is postponed, so he won't have to fly out Sunday morning anymore! Lovely start to the weekend.
Someday I'm going to have my evenings with my husband back. Someday, my three year old will go to bed willingly and not come up with 435 excuses for why she can't go to sleep.
How are y'all seeing that people are getting banned?? I always log in via mobile so I miss a LOT of features. I didn't even know you could look at someone's profile and see all of their posts and stuff. I just recently figured out how to see when someone mentions me by using a desktop. Some serious functions lacking on the app...
@RN1stBae their profile picture changes to a red pic that says "keep calm this user has been banned" And yeah on the site you can click on someone's name and see all their posts/threads/replies etc
I just caught up, sprinkled love it's everywhere and am thoroughly annoyed with the banning. I had no idea and didn't see those ladies in the least bit as violating TOU. Very strange.
@Megan324 I agree. The app needs serious work, especially in the community section. Sigh.
DH is becoming a real PIA to share a bed with. I'm uncomfortable enough as it is without having him monopolize all the space/flop limbs around everywhere. Also, he's impossible to wake up. I've even tried (gently) slapping him in the face. Ugh!!
We created a private board for that exact reason on my last bmb, got sick of the mods being out of control... but that was a very different time on the bump and hopefully things have changed since. I was woken up at 4am by husbands alarm, and tossed until he left around 430 for work. Then my dog was going insane barking at a cat on the lawn so I had to hobble downstairs to chill her out before she woke Emmett, and woke for the day around 630. Tired already, but we are going to the annual clam festival this afternoon (no, I don't eat clams but other amazing fried foods, local artisans, live music, etc etc). I'd talk to SLou about it if she was here since she grew up up here
Can anyone think of anything a pregnant woman would rather do on a 90 degree day than clean vomit out of a car and car seat? I may burn the car seat. Send wine. In two months.
Yuck @psubecky23 that does not sound fun! Sorry you're starting your day that way. I have a stockpile of wine in my basement - I'm sending some your way!
I had some random dude say to me yesterday "must be twins!" Uh, nope, just one and still two months to go, thanks. I know it's been said before but wtf is wrong with people that they see a bump and think it's ok to comment on your body? Not to mention, I legit don't think I'm that big that it's even worthy of a comment. I am mostly belly, but still. So rude!
Good Morning! So I am just catching up but do you think maybe someone reported SLou's siggy? Hers had the patriotic penises in it, right? If that is the reason, I find it funny because they are still visible in her prev. posts so that would be dumb. Hopefully everything gets sorted out soon! But ya'll have me on board to create a private board or possibly FB soon....
My random for the day is that my dress for my shower was supposed to be delivered on Thursday and when I went to track the shipment today, it said the Post Office tried to deliver it yesterday and left a notice of instructions. Ok 1.) I was home at the time they claimed they tried to deliver it (7:08pm) and 2.) There is no delivery attempt notice! What the heck? I am praying they try again to deliver it today or otherwise what do I do? Call the Post Office? I only have the tracking #... but it is so weird since I order from Motherhood Maternity all of the time and they always leave my packages at the door. And my shower is in a week so I need to get this dress and make sure it fits! Bah...
*Update: My dress came this afternoon and fits perfectly! Whew!

@diagonalley I don't know why but ignorant comments from men annoy me more than ignorant comments from women. Call me sexist but I'm all like "Stay in your lane! Even if it was twins how would YOU know!?"

I'm the opposite. Women should know better because haven't they themselves ever been on the receiving end of this garbage? They should know first hand how rude it is.
@mom2adoodle Totally agreed on that I find men's comments more annoying. One guy at work comments constantly about how I need to limit my sugar intake.
Although there is one older woman at work (who never had children) who told me the other day to pay closer attention to how I am walking. She helpfully advised that I am "beginning to waddle like a penguin". Thanks lady.

My random of the day- baby noticeable had hiccups for the first time this morning. I've been waiting for them because I think it's one of the coolest feelings!
After dropping the dog at the groomer, I geniusly stopped at the library on the way home (1/2 mile from our house). Enjoyed an hour of toddler playing with train tables while I soaked up the free a/c.
Catching up. Spent a few hours in L&D last night after having contractions 4-7min apart for pretty much 7hrs straight. Still 50% effaced and slightly dilated on the outside of my cervix, so no changes. I got hooked up for a non-stress test and baby girl sounded great. Contractions were registering, and apparently I have an irritable uterus. But at least it means she's staying put!
@fireflygirl12 The love it is purely for support. I'm sorry to hear about how you spent your evening but very happy to read that your baby girl is staying put! I hope you get to relax and put your feet up this weekend.
The banning is super annoying, especially since this is the tamest BMB I've ever seen. I'm not sure how it works now, but reporting didn't always mean you'd get banned. It allowed for the fact that some people don't like each other and disagreements wouldn't lead to banning.
People are really getting banned? I mean not everyone is going to have the same opinion, thats the beauty of people. If you dont agree or like something dont reply or participate. Or share your opinion but keep in mind not everyone will agree. I dont think we need to sugar coat things or be flat out rude to each other but common people, banning!? Its not that serious unless someone gets abusive or threatening.
Hey ladies!! I've been lurking the past few days as I'm at my parents house an have been busy.
Getting a a little worried because little man hasn't moved much this morning and I'm 5-6 hours away from my OB. I'd rather not have to go to the hospital here but we will see. Im going to drink some cold water and see if that gets him going.
@AmMcc12 try every trick in the book! If cold water doesn't help, drink something sugary and lie down on your side for 30 minutes. When I had a NST for decreased movement, the midwife told me that they get baby moving by poking around with their hands and putting a quick vibration or music near her head, she said to use my phone for that.
@AmMcc12 he's probably having some good naps with all the busy activity you've got going on. Try something with a little sugar and laying on your left side to see if that gets him going. Let us know once he starts moving
@AmMcc12 Agreed with the other PP. My OB said to drink something sweet, relax and lie on left side and that they want 6-10 movements in 2 hrs. Hope he starts moving soon!
My random is that I am feeling completely utterly outraged by the playboy playmate in the news caught body shaming another woman on snapchat. Honestly, reading about what she did makes me so angry and weepy at the moment. What a horrible, vile, thoughtless, callous individual this girl is...ugh. Ok, rant over..just needed to get that off my chest.
@fireflygirl12 glad to hear baby is staying put, but sounds like quite the night. Did they put you on any rest (or are you already on rest?) Hope you don't have any other scares until it's go time!
@ammcc12 hope baby starts moving around for you so you don't have to worry. I find sitting still helps a lot. Cold water too. Sometimes if I eat something sweet that helps. Good luck!
Re: July Randoms Thread
I KNOW!! Now it's like I paid $8 to try on shit that doesn't even fit. Not impressed.

sorry for rant. I just want sleep.

@fireflygirl12 get some rest this weekend!!
DS1 -- 9/30/2016
@AmMcc12 Drink some iced water and then lay down! Hopefully you'll feel some movement then. Sending you some movement luck!
@KimmySchmidt Ha, I get where you're coming from. I guess all ignorant comments are annoying- no matter the source!!
Edit: TB ate my post
