Aww girls I just found out I failed mine, too. I wasn't even afraid I would fail. Now I am afraid I'll fail the 3-hour. Also, I am wondering if I can hide it from my mom because she is going to judge me deeply. She thinks you catch diabetes by eating too much sugar.
@RainMira9e Bummer =/ Good luck with your 3 hour! And good luck with your mom, it's hard to convince "older people" that 99% of the medical information they grew up believing is wrong.
@TurtleMomma I'm so sorry =( I don't have any experience with what you're going through, and can't imagine the kind of stress you're under right now but it sounds like at least some progress is being made! Keep that chin up, you'll get your answers, and then you'll get a plan and routine going and all the tough parts will be handled ::hugs::
@RainMira9e I'm sorry I'm not telling my MIL and step MIL I failed because they will over stress about the 3 hour test, and then police my eating if I end up having it. No thank you. My husband always says "they're just trying to help". It doesn't feel very helpful!
My 2014 BMB FB group imploded after 2 years. Theres still a handful of us in a smaller group, but the crazy came out and made our message boards look tame. Someone hold me.
WHAT HAPPENED? lol I was D14 but never joined the FB group (obvi).
It was a really amazing group, that after ~2 years formed some amazing bonds. But the crazy came out and some just wouldn't stop over the course of the last 2 weeks. Some of the crap made our boards look SOOOOOO freaking boring. We have a smaller group now formed, but the FB page is being deleted tomorrow. I'm ridiculously sad about this lol. A few of us are pregnant again and all the sad pregnant lady hormones are making it worse.
was this the FB group that formed after the babycenter invasion?
OMG I totally remember that!! I think so. We formed around September/October.

Because I decided to watch Forrest Gump. And "me and Jenny was like peas and carrots" was just too much for me. And then she looked so concerned when she was telling him to run. And his little brace legs were having such a hard time and it hurt my heart that people and children can be so cruel. And then because his braces broke off and he smiled.
Because I made this last night thinking it would taste as incredible as it looked: I get it made, it's not quite as aesthetically presentable as this picture, but I'm still patting myself on the back for following through with it and accomplishing my goal. It still looked and smelled AMAZING and I was excited to eat it! I sit down to eat, I am salivating with anticipation, I take my first bite aaaand... I fucking hate it. That lemon sauce is something that would pair well with fish, but to my personal taste, doesn't belong with chicken. Fail numero uno. I put on a brave face and continue to eat it anyway because so far FI is still putting on a front that he enjoys it. We get to the center of our chicken breasts- and the chicken is undercooked. Fail Numero dos. FI decides he's just going to cut up all the chicken, cook it a bit longer in the skillet, and "add a few things". At that point I am SO done with food, but he insists I taste his finished product, so I oblige- it tasted amazing. A million times better than what I had just served and almost like an entirely new dish. Which hurt my woman pride tremendously. Personal fail number three. I'm still sulking about it this morning.
@sjo_thetwins At least there's that haha I do however, love the base for the cream sauce, and the overall set up of that dish so next time (because I WILL master this and make it my own!) I will tweak that to be a spicy garlic sauce instead of lemon, that sounds sooo much better!
Jus dropped my Dad off at the airport for him to head back home. He came up for 2 weeks to remodel our basement. Now I'm sad because we won't see him again till Thanksgiving. miss him already. Wish he was able to come back in October with my mom when the baby is born.

That blows @AllyTheKid! Especially when you're just so excited about it. Really, it's their fault for providing a crappy recipe and masking it with a delicious looking pic.
@bnsmith85 Serious false advertising! In that recipes defense, I should have known honestly. I love lots of salt, pepper, and garlic and am not a huge fan of lemon. This was a bland recipe with tons of lemon, so it wasn't really to my taste from the get-go, but that picture though!
I got overheated and started crying at the table at lunch because I didn't feel good. So embarrassing, but it's just too damn hot outside today. The waitress brought me water and a bag of ice, but I just had to leave because I couldn't sit there. Back in the AC with a huge cup of water now. Might be time for a nap too.

Because this buzzfeed post popped up on my FB memories as something I shared this day last year and it's just the sweetest freakin thing ever (hopefully that link works) https://bzfd.it/1HYqi9o
@RainMira9e I feel you! I failed when I did it early at 20 weeks and my family automatically assumed it was what I was eating. It's just hormones and you can't always control it! The first 9 weeks the diet worked but now I'm on meds... And other people assume it's weight which drives me nuts. I've lost weight this whole pregnancy instead of gained (Just another thing to motior now!) and yet people still assume things! Unfortunately, family can make things worse some times! Good luck
I have not cried often (if at all...) this whole pregnancy but I cried yesterday during Star Trek just knowing that Anton died recently. Every time he was on screen my eyes welled up.
I am trying to hold back tears after clicking on @bnsmith85 's link! I couldn't even watch it - I got to "diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma" and starting tearing up. If I watch it now I'll just be imagining the horrible death waiting for her and the cuter she is the more I'll cry!
Note: I used to work in pediatric neurooncology so I can usually handle this type of thing. Not today!!
I talked DH into going to get a snow cone, my newest and almost obsessive craving of late. I could literally already taste it...but when we drove up there were no less than 20 cars in line and DH didn't want to wait so we left. I get it, we prob would have been in line over 30 minutes... but it just made me so sad! I tried to hold back the tears until we got home so he wouldn't know I was crying over a snow cone, which I realize is quite ridiculous.
@MRSCORKER there's no crying in baseball! That is my all time favorite movie!

I ugly cry every time but I can't resist. It's a combo of feeling girl pride, a love of history, the sense of noatalgia that it creates and missing my softball days. I really loved to play.

You can buy an ice shaver and sno cone syrup at Walmart. Or if your blender is good enough use that, and maybe actual fruit juice if you're feeling healthy.
I'd been feeling pretty good, no crying for weeks, and of course I wake up at four in the morning from a nightmare I haven't had since I was a child--evil clown trying to get in my head and make me kill myself. When I was a kid the clown just tormented me; this time was more intense, I guess because I'm older. But now I can't sleep and I'm terrified to even close my eyes so I've got the combo tears of scared and frustrated that I can't get out of my head enough to go to sleep (which is all I want to do).
Over active brain while trying to fall asleep made me realize I don't think we can send my daughter to the preschool I want to (and we signed her up for). The logistics just don't work out. She's supposed to go Tuesday/Thursday from 9-12 but the 9:00 drop off isn't working out. I have to be at work for 7:45, my husband for 8:30 and now my mom will be 2 towns over and need to get my nephew on the bus for 8:45; so there's no way for her to get my dd there on time. I can't even try to adjust my hours because she needs to be picked up at 12 and I already get off at 11:15 so it's the perfect time to get out of work, drive to the school and pick her up. So basically my only option is to send her to a preschool that is in the same town as my mom lives or sign her up for a preschool that functions as a daycare so I can drop her off at 7:30.
I know it sounds so trivial (and not cry worthy) but I had always thought we would send her to the original preschool. My youngest brother and sister went there and my nephew. The teachers have been there the whole time (brother is now 20) so they know the family. The school is 5 minutes from our new house and 5 minutes from dh's work.
So yup here I am at 1:15 crying about my dd's preschool.
The thought of putting up stepson's crib til my mother buys Peanut the new one she insists on buying. it just doesn't feel right to me at all. Especially seeing it empty before Peanut makes it his own.
