@madreofdragons I've met one. Once. Most of them live pretty far but you're right. I'm way closer to them than IRL friends. None of my IRL friends know I'm pregnant yet.
@madreofdragons This past memorial day weekend I hosted one of my closest bumpies with her twin boys and we visited another girl and her daughter who live close by.
@madreofdragons there is a group of 30 of us that pulled to a FB secret group in A’16 and they are some of my closest friends. I’ve met two of them IRL but we all talk every day on our group, some in texts/phone. We’ve had several smaller groups meet up geographically and we’re going to have a big meet up this summer but a bunch of us are pregnant again so won’t be attending (most are towards the end of their pregnancies now though) - plus it’s in Arizona and I live in Indiana so travel opportunities are limited. We do go to FL for vaca every year lately and one of the girls lives in Ocala so we will be meeting up again in a couple of weeks while I’m down that way.
J14 still has an active FB group - there are 80 of us left and I’ve met like 20. One is local and we’ve become best friends - we see each other at least once a month. She’s also pregnant (with no. 4 - her second pregnancy was twins), but due in January. I thank god every day these women are in my life. They had a massive get together in Vegas this year - I had to miss out because I earned a work trip for DH and I in the Bahamas on the same dates. When we go to DL this year, we will see a few and I might do to Colorado to visit another (who is one of my other best friends).
One happens to be a few towns over. One grew up about 3 miles from me and still visits her parents. I met two in the LA area when I visited family in ‘15. Still have our fb group and I text 3 regularly.
I adore my A17 ladies. There are about 50 of us on our FB group. These last two years of becoming a mom have been really hard for me and they’ve been such a blessing to me. None of my IRL friends had kids when I got pregnant so my bumpies have filled a big void for me. I’ve only gotten to meet 1 person though.
Just want to celebrate that after 10 tries through personal photo files and public internet searches, I finally found a profile pic my slow computer would upload. If it looks like I sketched it in paint in 5 minutes, well, it's because I did
That feeling when you’re half a sec pregnant and you’re already wearing maternity clothes. My friend was selling something motherhood maternity shorts for $5 so I snatched those babies up and I plan on living in them forever. I don’t feel too bad since it’s baby 3 and the fat is permanent.

Wearing some Old Navy PP shorts from my last pregnancy. No regrets here. I also busted out my maternity shorts, but I think they are in the wash.
I’m spending two weeks with my parents and inlaws. I told my mom I’m pregnant, but I want to try to not tell my inlaws if I can manage to hide it. I didn’t think I would be able to (especially since my MIL gives me the “wine test” every chance she gets), but we’re in Norway and they don’t speak the language. I’ve been drinking non-alcoholic beer and they can’t tell it’s non-alcoholic. Don’t know why I didn’t think of that earlier!

My doc's office called me this morning - I gave a urine sample when I was there last Friday, they want me to come in for a follow up. This is not good for my anxiety. I have no clue what they could have even been looking for. Receptionist said it wasn't urgent but still! Luckily I'm able to go in tomorrow.
@becks_726 this happened to me last pregnancy, mind you it was later in my pregnancy but they found sugar in my urine. I was completely freaked out when I got the call but all they wanted me to do was take the glucose test again. Not sure if that helps your anxiety or not , but If they didn’t want to see you right away , it’s probably ok! Sending positive thoughts your way
@becks_726 - was it a clean catch? I always get calls afterwards because my sample doesn’t come back clean, but when sent for further testing, it’s fine. Usually due to the number of tums I take in pregnancy if I remember right.
@canadianmom89, thank you! I'm doing my best to push it out of my mind until tomorrow.
@kayjay44 I had to google clean catch so no, it wasn't. Now that I think of it, I've had to re-do a test before just because and they instructed to come in with a full bladder so that could be it. Thank you!

@kayjay44 TY
BTW I bough 4 bags of chips on my way home since DH asked me to stop for milk. I’m now laying in bed with DS while he had a bottle. It’s glorious.
