It's the time of day when I ask myself why I didn't take Zantac an hour ago. This baby will probably be as bald as dd was and I had awful heartburn with her too.
I read that July thread earlier today and it was sort of boring, but man it got nutty. It seems like the TL;DR (aside from all the great snark and gifs) is that zomg board organization sucks but zomg a lack of board organization sucks so omg let's just blame the people trying to keep some order. Like, uh ok.
@MissKittyDanger this Canadian weather has been so crazy lately. Two weeks ago our water pipes froze from the cold, last week our roof started leaking from all the thawing & melting, and now we’re back to frozen pipes. Winter can just be over already
Hey ladies! Just got home from work. All that ice they were worried about...my drive home was dry as a bone. Woot woot. Tons of salt down though too, so maybe it helped.
Not to not respond to the rest of the conversation from this evening, but woooooooie July. Holy moly. The best part is that last Saturday night, some were so surprised at the length of time we chose to engage in our battle on the troll. At least we had all ganged up on the drive by assailant and not each other. *high five* *fist bump*
I'm delusional from being so tired.
I love velociraptor land over here with our water challenges and weather talks.
@Austenista Lol! My coworker has 6 & 8 yr olds, then stuff she finds in her purse all the time and it's great.
@bkrahn Yikes!! We haven't had that issue, we live in a townhouse so we get the bonus of neighbour heat but my mum's pipes almost froze. She had to open up her cupboards a couple times. This weather is nuts We're in a flash freeze warning right now
DAMN IT! I missed all the July drama on the poll. I got the gist of it on their u/s thread but it seems like the good stuff was in the poll and that had disappeared.

I can't believe it got removed. I figured it had to be something pretty egregious for admin to delete a thread entirely and not just close it. Anybody have insight on that?
@LaceyBee522 I was up pretty late after work. I would say I was reading all the way up until close to 1am and the last post was just bumpadmin closing the thread. It peaked and then just kind of stayed there with the same stuff being said over and over. No idea how it got deleted.

I’m feeling kind of down today after talking to a friend who has been trying for a baby forever. Her son is in middle school and they’ve been trying to give him a sibling basically his whole life. It took us four years with DS, so I do know some of what she is feeling. I feel almost guilty it was so easy for us this time. It’s another reason why I feel weird announcing on SM because I know there’s so many people out there who want to have babies desperately and they can’t.
Baby has been kicking/moving so hard all morning. He/she keeps getting me right in a spot down by my right hip/low abdomen and it makes me jump every time! I thought it had settled down but sat at my desk and it started up again. Up until the last couple days it was just very ocassional little flutters or pops. I could rock a kick count right now at 17w and some odd days... sheesh!
@austenista that's always tough. we were one of the first of our group to have a kid, so before DS it didn't dawn on me about throwing around a pregnancy/baby on social media. ever since then I hear about more people I know that struggled in one way or another and we've dealt with our own multiple losses since... so I feel so much more cautious about what I post. But I'm sure your friend is very happy for you.

@sabby2 I feel you on the kick spot. Mine is sitting in breech so those feet kick my hip/lower abdomen. I'm 19 weeks and not super rough but it's like "wtf kid!" I think it's the location lol
TW @Austenista I understand completely. I really only have 4 friends locally. One had a MC in March 2017 at 4 months, the other had her 3rd consecutive MC in august. I never thought I'd be having a baby before them, never, not even after the losses they had. It happened so quickly for us (first time) I hadn't even told my friends we were ttgp.
I'm sorry for the pity party post that is about to happen here...
We just got off the phone with our leasing office and found out that they are not letting us renew our lease. The complex changed management and they want to remodel the apartments and charge way more per month. So now we have 30 days to find somewhere else to live. Also DH is still unemployed after getting laid off on the same day we found out we were pregnant, which is going to make getting approved for a place ridiculously hard. I just feel like we can't catch a break and DH is so depressed and stressed about his work situation that all we focus on is him and honestly we barely talk about the pregnancy because it just stresses him out even more. We wanted this kid so bad, but then the second it happened for us, everything else started falling apart. I honestly don't even know what we're going to do. His dad is still offering to help us buy a house if we move to Phoenix, but that means uprooting the entire life we've created here and me giving up on my career. I'm just getting tired of pretending to everyone around me that life is great and we're so excited to be having a baby when in reality we have no idea how to maneuver these curve balls and I'm just so afraid that we're still going to be in this situation come June.
Sorry, I don't mean to be pathetic, just having a tough day and honestly needed to type it out and say it to someone who isn't in my life for real.

@amphibious22 don't apologize to us. It's why we're here. So sorry this is all piling on during a time that should be so exciting. Sending so many prayers and housing vibes your way!

@Amphibious22 I’m sorry that life is throwing lots of curve balls right now. I hope you guys are able to find housing and DH find a job. All the hugs!!
Thanks for the support guys, I really needed it today. I almost feel like we'd be idiots to not take the house in Arizona, but it just means living in Arizona... Hopefully this'll just be a bump in the road that we'll laugh about in a few years.

@silvergreen that gif! What you don't know is I used to work with white-cheeked gibbons and I love them!
@dinodna3 I could try to get a job at the Phoenix Zoo or at the new aquarium in Scottsdale. The problem is for most zoos, your previous experience doesn't get you far. It's such a hyper competitive field that you basically have to start from scratch every time you move to a new facility. I'm just not sure I'd want to start over at an entry level position again.

@Amphibious22 my dad used to say when it rains, it pours. So sorry it feels like it's crashing down all around. Sometimes the path of least resistance isn't the worst option, even if not ideal. Sending hugs.
You guys, dd went to bed about 15 to 20 minutes later than usual and she threw a dramatic fit for the last 10 minutes about weird random things. Toddlers, ya'll. FTM you get to look forward to the volatile emotions of toddlers
@sabby2 yeah mine is going through this stupid not falling asleep during naptime phase (she’s only 2.5, wtf?) and so from 6 pm on, everything makes her cry. Marvelous!
@lisa2589 solidarity girl! I told her she was being dramatic and obviously that was a mistake because she cried harder telling me she wasn't. MOTY here.

Separately, if they manage to get a thread pinned, unpinned, and repinned, but we can’t even get the resources thread pinned...I’m gonna be annoyed.
