FFFC: I've been on a trip to Portland since Wednesday (flying home today, at the airport right now) for a conference for my internship. I told my full-time job I have strep because I don't want them to think my internship is interfering with my job. Even though it totally is and IDGAF. Cough cough.
I need to tell our family soon that were expecting #3 , but still havnt because they live 3 hours away and I hate talking on the phone and listening to people cry happy or sad tears and ask questions. I'd rather email, or snail mail the news and wait for the texts and calls to roll in. I'll ignore the phone calls though unless it's my mom. She's a cool cat.

@carries2018 I don't think the rules are much different. At least not from my experience. They crack down on people "making TB unwelcoming" more than they used to, though, since the moderators aren't community members.
ugh. that was the best part! what do i have to have my own life now or something?
but seriously there is a lack of snark unlike the old days. let's make TB great again O17!
@carries2018@jessafishy One thing I don't miss: It used to be that anytime someone mentioned a loss on a BMB, there would be a follow-up post like, "why do people have to talk about m/c here? It bums me out." So glad that I am not seeing that this time around.
*Siggy warning - loss mentioned* Preemie ID DDs; then DS; then natural M/C; now due 10/17 High risk for pre-term: weekly Makena injections

@riverraine oh heyyy. Portland was great although I wasn't there long! I did see the bookstore, though, and I got some Voodoo donuts! Hello, heart attack in a box!
ETA: deleted picture because it was huge. Rest assured the donuts are ridiculous.
Well now I'm eating a buddy bar. I mean, the doctor did threaten me if I lose any more weight at my appointment next week. Just trying to follow doctor's orders...
BFP#1: 12/3/13 EDD 8/15/13. Heartbeat found on 12/26/13, HB gone on 1/4/13. D&C 1/7/13
BFP#2: 4/19/13 EDD 12/28/13. Team Green for pregnancy and Baby Girl arrived 12/21/13. BFP#3: 2/9/13 EDD 10/18/17. Team Green for Round 2!
I have a 5 hour flight in front of me and I'm super nauseous and have to pee every 20 minutes and got boarding group C (southwest, no assigned seats) even though I checked in right at 24 hours....I told the customer service agent I'm pregnant and got a preboard pass.
I feel slightly guilty, but not as guilty as I would feel asking my rowmates to get up every half hour.

@bluejeanbabi05 Meh, I feel like that's a perfectly valid reason to use the pregnancy card!

I swear to god if my toddler asks "what is it?" one more time time I'm going to jump off a cliff. I have no mommy patience today.
Oh. Em. Gee. The questions.
DS will ask me a question and when I answer him he will say "Huh? What? Huh?" KID I JUST TOLD YOU!!!!

Cancelled a pretty important meeting with my boss because I don't really want to deal with him today on top of my usual nausea - but I told him it was a migraine (which I am actually prone to) I am the girl who cried wolf but I literally can't with life today.
@jessafishy I'm with you. We transitioned my 3 year old to the bottom bunk of a bunk bed with my 4 year old in December and all was well.....and then she was hospitalized with RSV and ever since it's been hit or miss. I was up with her for over an hour last night with random "needs" and then 2 additional times because my 4 year old had bad dreams. Seriously? How the heck am I supposed to manage a newborn with this...and grad school. I wish sleep was optional.
@carries2018 I should probably be in September...I'm due 10/15 but neither of my kids made it past 37 weeks so I'm not expecting to make it to October. It happens!
I put it in the first post @keiraanne but it's Flame Free Friday Confessions.

I secretly hope that my brothers who voted for Trump get their health insurance benefits terminated. They are still living at home with ma' and pa' and for the life of me I don't understand their political beliefs.
Edit: Spells.
Totally laughed when Trump repealed the upcoming bill that was to give those with HFA home loans a bit of a financial break because my mom voted for Trump and she has an HFA loan and also is as thrifty as they come most of the time. How's that working out for you mom?

FFFC. As a STM, i haven't once been concerned that "what if I dont love this kid like I love my first born" or some version of that statement that I often hear. To be clear I'm crazy about my first born.
At the same time, I've always wondered when parents say "I love all of you equally" if that's true or not and wonder if I'll find out its a lie when 2.0 is here (or years down the line.)
The irony of those two statement is not lost on me.

today marks another sober st. patrick's day. i have made a tally in my notebook of drinks i need to make up for in October.
Yup. It's a good thing I'll only be pregnant for half of football season. But my tally includes missing all of baseball season and the BBQ holidays!
we are huge pats fans with season tickets. i am so bummed i dont know if i want to go to opening day and haul ass up a zillion ramp 75 months pregnant.
How about this.... Destination weddings are rude. Granted I had one. But we only invited 20 people because we knew it was a burden and we paid for all the plane tickets, all the rooms and all of the food. If people don't have the decency to do that then get married in your hometown or elope. If I want to spend thousands of dollars on a vacation, I want to pick when and where I go, and what I spend my time doing.
Also don't even get me started about people that are expecting people to come to places that have zika when half their friends and family are starting families.
Then again I'm probably just bitter because I want to go to Mexico with my husband right now. His best friend is getting married In a month. Also yesterday our OB told us we would have to use condoms the remainder of my pregnancy if he goes, because of zika.
