Possible TMI alert I bled through a super tampon pretty quickly today. Really, I’m not too upset bc it was on a pair of underpants of which I am not fond. Now I have an excuse to ditch them.
Ttc is the worst... now that everyone knows what happened to us and that we're trying, we basically can't share any news without people thinking we're announcing. H just got a nice raise at work. He said at dinner with his mom "did Kates tell you the big news?!"
Cut to me wanting to die because he had to break his moms heart.
ohh, @galactickates, so sorry to hear that. Kind of been there - I told my MIL a few years ago (before we were even thinking about trying) that a friend of mine, someone she had met, was pregnant and she thought I was telling her I was pregnant. Cue joyous flip out and teary expected meltdown when I had to correct her.
We've had to be very direct/explicit about stuff like new jobs, raises, etc. b/c we can't just say "news" or "did you hear" b/c everyone's expecting us to announce a pregnancy. Basically as soon as we announced our engagement three years ago they've been waiting for us to say we're expecting. DH's family more than my own, but still ....
also, ladies, as the drive-by pointed out we are adults , so that means we can have ice cream whenever we want! so everyone who wants a sundae or some cookies or ice cream:

@Avrilmai Last night DH said we needed to do an errand last night and would I drive and my answer was only if we could get ice cream. Really winning at combining adulting and ice cream over here. @galactickates That sucks. I'm sorry your MIL and everyone else is waiting around with baited breath. That adds to the pressure tremendously. Does she pressure you about it generally?
@zamora_spin - no she doesn't pressure us at all, and its not even just her, I can see it in people's faces when I have something to tell them or if its a phone call I have start out with "I have news! its not a baby.. but.... xyz happened" and every time they say "oh I thought you were going to say you were KU" its happened enough that i have to completely change how I talk. It sucks
I missed a drive by thread @zamora_spin you are very wrong. I just went down a nice rabbit hole looking at Channing gifs
AFM...I got my hospital bill from my surgery today. I’m so glad I have insurance but holy crap - $42K before insurance - I definitely did not contribute enough to my HSA this year I cried at work for prob the first time ever after I saw my out of pocket portion.
And what was with the drive by getting completely deleted??? Did she come back again? Completely deleting is normally reserved for really extreme cases I thought...

@galactickates and @catlady2015 My MIL was super all about DH and I having a baby once we got married. For a long time we weren't ready and then when we were, we kept it a secret that we were trying. I'm glad we did because we had trouble. ANYWAY, I remember one time specifically when we told her we needed to talk to her and she started smiling and got all excited, I knew exactly what she was thinking. Nope..sorry. She'd always mention kids or another grandchild and I just wanted to be like, "Trust, me it's not from lack of trying!"

@adorkablepixie it was a drive by writing about how horrible we all are and we shouldn’t need tell people they broke the rules and how much nicer it is at BBC (abbreviated so I don’t get in trouble) and how people should be able to post what they want, unicorns fart rainbows, that kind of thing

I had a very graphic sex dream about Channing Tatum a couple weeks ago. He was going all Magic Mike on me and stopped right before I came. I spent the rest of my dream complaining about having blue balls and then I found him again and he finished the job. Not a bad dream at all.
My dreams are very realistic so in my mind it's like it happened and I was flustered for a couple days lol
On a related note, I had a sex dream about my best friend once and I cringed every time he touched me for like, a week. It was so, so awkward. The sex in the dream was awkward. Ew, I'm shuddering just thinking about it now.
@wishiwaspreggo interesting! Maybe it did happen and that’s the reason he and his wife split. I made the mistake of telling DH about a sex dream I had about a friend once and he still won’t let me live it down (he didn’t like the friend to begin with).
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
@meggyme - unless we were in an alternate dimension where chubby women with unkempt hair are the epitome of beauty he wouldn't touch me with a 10 foot pole but it was fun dreaming about it.
Yeah, sex dreams about friends are the worst!! Whenever it happens I yell at my brain "WHY?!?!" And to make matters worse, my wife and his boyfriend at the time were both out of town the next day so he suggested we "go on a date" and try to fool people that we were a couple. I wanted the ground to swallow me. He's like my brother so it feels so incestuous - ick!!!! I didn't tell him about my dream because I know he'd have done whatever he could to make it worse and rub it in.
@galactickates I'm sorry you had to do that. It is heartbreaking. I told all of my friends that we were trying at a party and subsequently read in some TTC articles that you should never do that. I also feel slightly embarrassed that I did because there were some people there that I didn't know, but I couldn't help it! I was so excited. Cut to 15 months later...
