I guess my FFFC is that for the last however many years I keep saying I’m going to be better about getting our family to church and I have yet to. This year is really important though that DS be there, so I’m hoping that will be my extra push. I know how important it is (to me, it really is), I just never went aside from baptisms and holidays as a child, DH’s schedule doesn’t usually work with any of the services, and my anxiety just makes it easier to stay home. All this to say I do not at all shame anyone for not going— because for some it just doesn’t work.
Lunchtime errand to the drug store. 70+ yo man buying lube and perusing the candy aisle. I just made up 647 stories about what his night has in store for him, and 632 of those stories involve the term "sexual chocolate." FFFC: sometimes my imagination is the only interesting part of my work day.
***March '18 October Siggy Challenge: Halloween Costume Fails***
I had a grilled cheese and fries for lunch this week. Three times. And I'm not really all that into fries, but I get them because I need the ketchup for my fries to accidentally/on purpose mingle with my grilled cheese, because it is heaven. But I cannot dip my grilled cheese in ketchup. That's just weird and gross.
I ALWAYS have a side of ketchup with my grilled cheese. And you better believe I intentionally dip. My husband thinks it's the weirdest thing too, but I say embrace the weirdness!!
Add me to the pee club. I can't remember who mentioned lots of pee accidents, so sorry for not tagging. I joined this thread late and am having a hard time catching up. But yeah, I feel gross and kind of want to live in the shower.

Omg, this made me snort. Thanks for the laugh. No thanks for the leak I get every time I laugh that hard, though. Lol

I make up stories for strangers all the time. DH makes fun of me for them, because I always share them with him. This is great
Also, now I need to try grilled cheese with mayo on the outside as I've seen that like three different places now.

Whenever I read anything here about incontinence, I immediately start doing kegels in hopes that they might help. Plus my OB/gyn said they make for better orgasms and easier delivery so FX they help in any of the categories!
ETA: To be clear, I meant that as I read it and think "holy crap! Come onnnnn kegels! Mama needs dry pants!!!"
Not like "shoulda been doin' your kegels"

1. I'm kind of dreading my friend's kid's 1st birthday party. H can't come. I'm not very close with 95% of the attendees. Pretty much everyone is going to be boozing. I don't feel like socializing with people that I have to make an effort to socialize with (you know how it's easy with some people and with others it isn't?) And my list of foods that appeal are seriously limited as in, I'll nibble on a few things and count the minutes until I can leave. i feel like a bad friend because I don't want to go. But, I'll put on my pants and my smile.
2. I snapped at H last night. I like to put toilet cleaner in and let it do it's thing for a while and then come back to it later. I can't tell you how often in that time, H will wander in, not notice there's cleaner in it, and use it and carry on. So last night, I had cleaner in one toilet and he started heading that way. I asked if that's where he was going and when he said yes, I said I had cleaner in it. Before I could finish my statement and ask if he could just give it a quick scrub before use, he says he'll just go downstairs. Which is when I snapped and said, "Oh, for Pete's sake! You can't take 30 seconds and just scrub a toilet!?!" I feel bad because last night was the last we'll see each other until next Saturday night.
DH does the same thing. As soon as I put the cleaner in he magically has to shit
@DDRRT1982 I consider myself a secular Jew (as does my husband). We were both born in the former USSR where all religious practice was basically forbidden, so we were not particularly raised with it as our parents didn't get that growing up. @vflux33 has some really good suggestions, and I'm going to offer one too (something I plan on doing in the future that I basically learned from a mixed religion family).
We have no intention of following the Shabbos rules regarding attending services, work, electricity, etc, but I had two friends from different mixed families where they always had a family dinner on Friday nights. One was slightly more religious than the other, but you can do as little or as much as you want to here. I see so much benefit in having a set day where everyone in the family has dinner together as a tradition regardless of how hectic schedules can get. I don't think it matters what the day is, but Fridays typically work well and depending on how much tradition you incorporate can be a cultural introduction to Shabbat.
The people I know continued this as teenagers and definitely in their early 20s - they just went out after and/or brought friends/bf/gf with them to dinner.
I’m not cooking dinner tonight. Kids can eat whatever they want. Right now it looks like dinner will be chips and leftover plain macaroni with butter. DS has been sick and today is just a do whatever you want, eat whatever you will day, for him at least. I’ll probably make myself something quick and healthy-ish later. Or just have cereal.
So as I’ve said before, I’ve been getting U/S done at work. I had one last week and the tech and my coworker looked at gender. I went again today to confirm the gender because my sisters will be in town next weekend and I want to do the big reveal while they’re here(anatomy scan is still 2.5 weeks away). So of course I’ve looked away each time they’ve looked. Well my confession is I’m pretty sure I saw the sex today when we were just looking at profile. I’ve seen a lot about the nub theory and I think I saw it pretty clear. I’m not telling anyone though or looking too far into it. I genuinely want to be so surprised when we find out together!
I know this belongs in the food thread, but I just demolished a box of Velveeta shells and cheese, which I am fairly certain just cancels out my cardio session at the gym this morning. Eh. You win some, you lose some. TGIF. My macros will be better balanced tomorrow...
Also, I plan to be sleeping before 8 tonight. My kids will probably still be doing stories, but DH is taking this one so I can get some sleep before our early morning tournament tomorrow. I've never felt so tired or old in my life, and I'm realizing this 3rd baby is definitely a final baby for us. This mom is beat.
FFFC is I really want to know what @npkat is having and I'm kind of sad I'm halfway done cooking this kid. I am trying to enjoy everyday with him safe inside me with all this craziness all around the world.
I was doing the grocery shopping this morning, when I suddenly felt really sick. I rushed to the bathroom (as much as I could rush with a cart of groceries and a toddler) thinking I was going to puke. Turns out I just needed to poop. I HATE pooping away from home. Oh well. Do whatcha gotta do.

Wait, The 'nub' is long gone and replaced by vulva or penis by 17weeks. You most like saw a part of the umbilical cord from that angle, or possible a penis, but most likely umbilical cord. Either way, I think you get what you want which is to be surprised along with your SO and sisters!
I hope you know I'm not trying to take away your thunder, just dispel any misinformation about how long the gentital tuber is in place before hormones take over and change its shape. I'm excited for you to find out your baby's sex!
@DDRRT1982 I am an atheist but if I’m wrong I hope your daughter is right and god is a puppy. Also, I have a cold, and kegels are great but I can only clench my crotch muscles for so many sneezes in a row before it’s too much. ETA, I need liners or something for my new pee pee pants problem.

I hope her daughter is right as well! Puppy god is the god we all need.
I have had to used liners since my stomach flu. Throwing up and dripping pee at the same time is a whole new level of embarrassing. But honestly, I'm pretty sure we are all coming up on the copious amounts of vaginal fluids stage... and kegels don't work for that!
@Cowboycorgi I’m almost 16 weeks so I think they would still have a nub? Like I said, I’m not looking too far into it though! I can’t wait to find out! Since it’s still early, we are not announcing it officially until the anatomy scan just in case. If it ends up being wrong, it’ll be a great laugh and funny story to tell!

I found out with my son right at 17 weeks and it was totally a penis at that point. This one I had a scan at 14 weeks and there was no nub, but a very obviously flat pelvis. I’d say you saw the umbilical cord. The mystery continues. I really want to know what you’re having now lol
@Cowboycorgi@Gingermom15 enough with all the vagina fluids talk, you're scaring this FTM over here! I think I prefer ignorance to knowing what's coming in this case
@Cowboycorgi@stlbuckeye132 Ugg... Yep, the copious amounts of discharge is real... My confession is that my husband and I decided to stay in the town we work in overnight, and we weren't planning on it so we didn't bring a change of clothes or anything... My clothes smelled totally gross the next day(and I didn't even have panty liners, all that discharge is no fun ), and it was all I had to wear to work. At least we're mechanics, so sometimes we just smell.
Haha @Gingermom15 Since I started out on progesterone suppositiories, I'm just enjoying the less swampy time.
@pregobeth I don't know what kind of car you have but if you have one with the spare in the trunk, you could just put some underwear and panty liners in a ziplock and toss them down in with the spare in case there's a next time. That's where I always keep an emergency pad and tampon so a) they're not just floating around in any of the other places and b) I'm not tempted to just use them when it's easier and I leave them for true emergencies.

So, as long as someone else brought it up first, is it weird that I don’t have any extra fluids or discharge? Fwiw, I haven’t had enough discharge to see it in my underwear since I was probably 17, so I that may be a factor, and it’s not overly dry or anything, but I wonder if it’s unusual to not have more fluid?
@leilaquinn Everyone is different, I wouldn't be concerned. I didn't have excess discharge during my first pregnancy. This time, I have excess compared to what I'm used to. But I am also an almost always dry person as well.
