I also have a shameful love of Taco Bell. It's just so freaking delicious. We don't have a TB close to us so I manage to resist most of the time, but if we're on a road trip? Yes, please get in my belly.
I love Taco Bell so damn much! I feel like more people love it than hate it, and the ones who are so anti the-magic-that-is-the-Bell are lying to themselves.
I actually don't mind one off threads, assuming they're not duplicates. I find that sometimes questions get buried in the weekly established threads. I immediately know whether it's a topic I can contribute to or learn from by the title versus having to read through pages on content.

I made the problem bold lol. It's not the random threads that bother me it's the fly-by-one-off-don't-contribute-to-the-community-at-all posts that bother me. But I do like that our board tends not to police the page like some boards. I've lurked on boards that people jump all over every thread like, "this belongs in the symptoms thread".
I always think it's interesting when someone responds with didn't you say this once that contradicts what you just said or this is the second time you post this same thing on some other forum... like I don't have enough time to initiate a full blown investigation lol but it's always entertaining to see lol
I had Taco Bell for the first time about a month ago. Have had it twice since. Steakhouse Nachos!!! I usually have Taco Johns as that is what was available in my area growing up. Still have love for Taco Johns (crunchy chicken and potato burritos) but their nachos just don't compare to Taco Bell!!!
Coffee smells like dog-diarrhea. Even when I'm not pregnant. I literally used to ask DH if he farted in the mornings forgetting he made coffee. I am a sucker for the creamy slightly sweet ice creamy-coffees lol but haven't had any since being pregnant. Definitely not addicted.
I had Taco Bell for the first time last weekend since...forever. And then I got in a car accident. I think there's a correlation.
My unpopular opinion today is brought to you by the exhaustion I feel having led several preschool speech therapy groups. I see a mix of delayed kiddos and typically developing peer models in their classroom on Thursdays. The super smart kids in the group are the most obnoxious. Yes, I know you're verbal, but could you QUIT TALKING FOR A MINUTE AND ALSO ACTUALLY FOLLOW DIRECTIONS, BECAUSE I KNOW YOU UNDERSTAND ME. Ugh, I wish I could have some wine tonight. I guess a bath will have to do.
@littlebug2010 I agree this board is very disorganized! I think it's going to get worse when people start new threads to announce the sex of their baby. We're going to have 20 "It's a boy" threads on the first page.
@kleigh30 I went and looked at your intro so I know you're in MN. I honestly didn't know TJ's was up there. I wasn't introduced to TJ's until my internships back in 2004. I still prefer Taco Bell by far.

@bumpybump At Taco Bell I've only had the nachos (which are amazing) and also tried the $5 cravings box... The only thing I liked in the cravings deal was the chips and cheese haha so I'm afraid to try anything else! I'm addicted to the potato oles at TJs. I get a little side of cheese, sour cream and guac with it and I'm in west-mex heaven!

I think there should be 3 threads stickied to prevent this from happening: Team Pink, Team Blue, and Team Green. That way everyone can post in the appropriate thread. Worked for my last BMB.
I had this happen with one of my midwives with my first baby. I requested not to see her anymore and they put it in my file. It was so much better after that!
I hate having to brush my teeth, especially because my gums bleed every time. I mean, I do it, but I hate having to.
Me too (well, since becoming pregnant). Not because of the gums, but because I gag throughout brushing every time. I hate it. My confession is some nights when my nausea is really bad, I just floss and use mouthwash. I always brush in the mornings though.
@LivLew You're not missing much. You can make muchhhhh better tacos at home than you will ever get at Taco Bell. I only go there under duress.
Thanks for all the support ladies. I'm not overly concerned about GD this time around, even though my starting weight is higher than last time. DS was 6lb 12 oz. Not exactly a heavy weight.
@PinkPrincessPiper I agree that there should be at least one pinned post to share the news, if not all three.
@britvahok I agree! This board is so hard to follow and I get so annoyed every time someone posts something that was just talked about.
@nxy I agree that not having the board police jumping on everyone is great, but with out the board police nothing is changing. I think balance is needed, to ensure that people know that making your own post when someone just talked about something similar is not helpful.

Mommy to a super cute havanesse puppy and baby boy!
okay t bell lovers... i have to ask. I love t bell and my favorite food on their menu is the chili cheese burrito. However, where I live in the south, it is not on the menu anymore. Do they have those in your areas? I went home to Missouri over Christmas and my mom and I stopped. I about died!! I haven't had one in probably 6 years and ordered two of them. My stomach paid for it later but damn, they were good. And now i'm craving one
My UO i hate Taco Bell. Granted I have only had it a few times.. the cheese was fake and it was nothing like Mexican food! (In Canada)
since becoming pregnant this time I CAN NOT do hot coffee. Gross. After being a hot/black drinker prior to this pregnancy it's strange. I have an iced coffee every morning
I don't get LuLaRoe. The leggings look comfortable, and I like leggings just as much now as when I'm not pregnant, but I think the majority of the prints are fugly, especially when they're paired with the oversized shirts.
ETA: I cringe every time I see a pregnant woman on Instagram (or Facebook) cradling her "9 week bump." Listen, I get that we're all excited and some people consider the bloat to still = bump, but until 12 weeks, your uterus is still under your pubic bone. And I don't care if it's your 1st, 3rd or 8th pregnancy. The uterus is still in the same place.
@laryk123 same! The thought of hot coffee grosses me out right now. I've been getting an iced decaf latte every morning! But it's the reverse with tea. Iced tea doesn't sound good at all, but hot tea has been helping my stomach.

I was about to suggest tea as well. Plain ole Lipton's black with some milk and sugar is delicious and still gives you a bit of caffeine to get going in the morning. Earl Gray is also lovely.
@stellabella2015 preach girl! My neighbor sells it and she has so many patterns that will NEVER SELL. You don't get to pick what you get. You just say I need this size and this many of the shirts/leggings/dresses and then they send you whatever patten they want. It's terrible! So she has hundreds of pairs that are just hideous. She always says someone will want them someday. Maybe. But your stuck wth them shits til you find this person with awful taste.
I'm not sure how many have been in to a maternity wear store yet but...holy aggressive. I know they know about the clothes and I'm a FTM but leave me be...I just wanna look around, absorb some of the changes that my body is about to have in peace. I lied in the second store and said I have two kids already so they would back off lol.

@JWatt5 I can't be the only person who perceives coffee that way
As for the maternity store workers... I figure they must work on some form of commission and are totally reliant using the percentage of the pregnant population who are actually feeling well enough to come out and try clothes on these new awkward bodies. I have always been one of the only people in the store when I go lol. Guess they see each preggo belly as their only shot at $$$! Lol I will say that last time I bought some cute clothes and the lady told me to buy them in the size I wore pre-pregnancy. By the third trimester my belly wanted to bust through those threads
I think the ramzi theory is bogus and roll my eyes hard when people want gender (sorry, SEX) predictions at 10 weeks. Those genitals aren't even developed yet so the nub you think you see could still be a girl.
Seriously?! I was under the impression that you could at least pick the prints that you wanted.
I have a friend that sells and she always does Facebook Live videos of her opening the "shipments" to see what she got. I always assumed it was more of a teaser for the people that lose their shit over Lularoe. Apparently not!
Lol! That is quite a UO! I love coffee, but caffeine affects me terribly and I haven't had it in years! Love coffee flavored things though! And I only like peanut butter flavored desserts that have an extremely mild PB taste, and same goes for caramel
