I haven't done anything at work this week except browse the Bump and watch Netflix on my phone. Oops.

muggle621 · July 2017

I ate a whole 11" pizza for lunch except for one slice.

ivfgotthistwice · July 2017

@muggle621that sounds amazing!

I faked sleeping so my husband was in charge of putting our threenager down for a nap.

vflux33 · July 2017

I'm using "pregnancy fatigue" as an excuse for bailing on so many things that I can't even list them individually.

missnc77 · July 2017

Okay, so I have worked out three days in a row pretty hard, so let me preface this embarrassment with that.

7:30 - eggs and toast
10:30 - hungry and nauseaous so chick-fil-a fries and nuggets
1:00 - went out to get my fav sandwich with the intention to only eat half (yeah right), also got a giant cookie with intention to only eat half (yeah, no)
3 - granola bar

Where is all of this food going? I was never this hungry with my first. I feel so guilty!

LiveNLove44 · July 2017

I'm still getting used to this new format for TB and I kind of hate it right now. I am the first to appreciate organization, so maybe I just need to adjust, but I feel so disconnected from certain check in groups.

I want to get to know you all! I'll just keep lurking those threads where I don't necessarily belong...

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@LiveNLove44 what do you mean specifically? I feel like I've enjoyed getting to know you and many others, I don't know what you mean.

kiki75 · July 2017

I'm so exhausted on sober socializing. Maybe it's atrophy from having alcohol as a crutch for all of these years or just plain introverted but, I'm wiped out. This week has been all mixers with people I don't know well/at all + one creep who wouldn't quit hitting on me. Dude, I'm just trying to be professional. I can't wait for Sunday hermit day.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@kiki75 sober socializing with people I don't know/like is my nightmare.

All the threads are important because they give people the narrowed down group of support and all, so that's not the issue. There's just so much taking place in the PGAL, TTGP grad, PAIF, FTM, etc. check ins that I don't want to miss out, but I also feel kind of awkward about whether I should/can respond in those threads because I also want to honor the unique experiences of those who are there. I hope that makes sense. I really like our BMB and feel like we have a ton of amazing women coming together, and I don't want to miss out! The irony is that I prefer more organization over less, so really it's just me needing to adjust to the new way!

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@LiveNLove44 I get it! I think if you wanted to comment/add support somewhere no one would turn you away!

raspell · July 2017

My 21 month old and I have a nasty summer cold so we have basically done nothing but lay around and watch way too much tv.

@LiveNLove44 I am with you! TBH, too much organization kind of turns me off and I find myself not being sure which threads are okay to comment on, etc. I'm definitely way less involved on the boards than I was in my sept2015 group. The rules have changed a lot!

barrelocarol · July 2017

Well said @LiveNLove44 and @raspell!!

I feel the same way and feel a little hesitant to comment and join in sometimes bc of other boards I've lurked.

But, I truly havent seen that here and I'm pretty sure we would oust the "you did this wrong so il going to shame you" posters. So I'm super loving this board for that reason!!

Also, @raspell Hi from S15! So excited to do this with you again!!!

Edited @missnc77 That's not even a lot of food!! Pretend I inserted a self deprecating whiney face here.

mdfarmchick · July 2017

I'm an emoji addict and I love tit all the time.

fullofhope25 · July 2017

I think I am becoming obsessed with this pregnancy and all I want to do and talk about is prego related topics (i.e. lurk on the bump, look at baby gadgets and furniture, plan a baby budget, think about baby shower ideas, etc). I even researched day cares in my area last night, and I am only 5 weeks along!!! Pray for me.

LOL!!!

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

I can't stand my extended family.

This literally made me LOL. Not to minimize your experience(s) AT ALL! But my extended family sometimes works my nerves also. It was actually refreshing to see someone speak my language. Lol.

Staciefacie · July 2017

@chasingroygbiv and @fullofhope25, I feel the same with my in laws. So much to the point where I think my MIL knows it.

Today, I totally crop dusted an entire aisle in Walmart but to my defense I couldn't hold it in any longer!!

chasingroygbiv · July 2017

@fullofhope25 @Staciefacie Omg. These people are SO insanely ridiculous. The drama, they truly must not have a single better thing to do than pick fights and argue. Plus they're weird and troubled. Once, my nearly 50 year old cousin who is an ex stripper whipped out her boobs to show us how "great they still look" while male family members were in the room. No. You're gross. Go home. Or back to the strip club. Whichever is further from me.

Staciefacie · July 2017

omg. I'd be incredibly embarrassed! Who does that?! My DH had his best friend staying with us for awhile last month and when the ILs came to visit, my MIL was watching me and him because she thought I was cheating on my DH.

fullofhope25 · July 2017

Staciefacie OMG!! You are hilarious!! The crop dusting comment.... Hilarious!

@chasingroygbiv Whoa! Now, that's a bit much!

HappyMonkey817 · July 2017

My husband, 2.5-year-old, and I drove from New Jersey to Virginia yesterday. It's supposed to take 4 hours. Thanks to horrible weather and the worst traffic I've ever seen in my life, it took just under 8 hours.

My confession is I threatened my husband with bodily harm if he didn't get his hissy fits and road rage under control. I'm not normally the type to threaten, but I don't feel bad about it. I was already dealing with one toddler and didn't need him acting like one.

SP128 · July 2017

@chasingroygbiv @stacieface @fullofhope25 I also cannot stand my extended family. My side, in law side is not bad.

My plan is for my mother and her side of the family to be last to know about the preg.

pettycrocker · July 2017

Thinking about not telling either sides of our family that we're expecting another LO... I just don't care if they know or not at this point... I don't think H cares either TBH. We told the majority of our friends right away.

Elizabella85 · July 2017

I want to know my baby's sex NOW!! I love to decorate and it's kind of killing me that I can't start redecorating the nursery. My husband picked our nursery theme with our first kid and I hated it, but he wouldn't budge. Now he's promised that I can do whatever I want theme wise since he likes the boy theme I've picked. I don't even care which one I'm having, I just want to shop!

Thiiiiiiis. I super hate it. The required topic threads get too congesteded and way harder to connect. Like, pushing all discussion of symptoms to one post... you can't keep a conversation going If there are 6 other questions in between. Especially since the interface sucks. I wish people could just post. Much easier to connect and have actual conversations. Especially whenever most of them are in quiz format lol.

pghctwife · July 2017

I want to punch my in laws in the face. They are visiting now, being their normal asshole selves, and my hormones are making me way less tolerant than Normal.

not flame worthy. No jury would convict knowing all the facts LOL

kburg15 · July 2017

I'm taking my 1 year old to a 6:30pm wedding tonight (basically his bedtime) just as an excuse to leave early because I know we'll have to sit with my in-laws. (And as an excuse to not be drinking). Sorry kid.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@pghctwife I get your point...but think about wading through 5 posts about cobstipation, 8 posts about cramping, 13 posts about exhaustion, 20 guess the sex posts. No one gets to know each other that way either. I find it really easy to converse through tagging and love tits in organized posts. So much gets lost in the shuffle when everyone posts their own super speshul post. Plus, this is the current culture of the boards.

pghctwife · July 2017

I have been on month boRds before the nest pushed the board org changes and it was never a problem, but I know that is the 'reason.' Maybe on the bigger boards, but month ones it just wasn't that way. Not in my experience. I know it is the culture. I don't like it, and it's up to each board really to post as they choose.

It probabky wouldnt bother me as much if the boards were more functional. It Is extremely difficult to post and pop around on the board on my devices, so I'm not as likely to bother reading pages of generic symptoms without knowing the content. But if someone posted specifically about heartburn for example, I'd totally open, read and weigh in as I have a lot of experience with it in pregnancy.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

@pghctwife I'm sure if you wanted to start posting your own threads no one would flame you. I have also been on 2 other bmbs here, and those have never been super friendly to frequent, random one-off posts. Certainly, the organization is more strict now but I don't remember it ever being a free for all. I've said before, I think it's different when it's a regular, recognized poster starting a new thread. But I do think people who take the time to read and respond to others, rather than only posting about themselves in their own threads, are the people I most like to get to know.

pghctwife · July 2017

Ha I'm not worried about being flamed I can hold my own

weve obviously had different experiences, and disagree. That's fine. I know the bump as a whole won't change butI still don't like it and I'll say so, and yes I'll post as a I please

if doing so helps loosen up this group, that'll be great. If not, eh I'll just jump into the fb group eventually ha.

heatherdubrow · July 2017

Alright, you do you.

DDRRT1982 · July 2017

Mine is probably super lame, but I have every intention of naming this baby after my deceased dog. It will be way easier to throw a G in there if it's a boy, but if it is girl I am somehow going to honor my dog with her name too.

Staciefacie · July 2017

@DDRRT1982, I think that's cute! In my opinion, dogs are just as much family as anyone else. Sometimes even more!

SP128 · July 2017

@DDRRT1982 Umm. I like my dog more than most people.

KLmyz · July 2017

@SP128 ahahahahs yes !!!!

SP128 · July 2017

@KLmyz Ok,I also admit I think she is smarter than most people too!!

KLmyz · July 2017

Ahah I belive you

Mine for sure was! He was my first baby 15 years ago and went through everything with me. He was so intune with everything.
