@grebretso That suuuuuucks. I've been feeling extra stuffy (and the nosebleeds have already begun ... joy), but I think it's just that extra pregnancy fluid that gets up in there. Pregnancy is so odd.
Thanks ladies, I hope it’s nothing, but I have a sore throat, chills and my head is pounding so I’m not hopeful.
Two colds in in less than a month is just insane though. And it’s summer! Makes me worried for flu and cold season, I don’t want to repeat this more than I have to!

I caught DS's cold and it's not that bad but I did not sleep last night and after a month of feeling shitty, then feeling shitty in a different way, without any sleep - I am done.
I'm not entirely confident that I'm not going to come home to a new pet. DH and DS are at the pet store now playing with bunnies and kittens. We already have a wild puppy. And a wild toddler. I explicitly said "don't you dare bring one of those home" and DH sent me a picture of DS holding the kitten. I burst into tears because it's so cute and he was so sweet and gentle with it. Go away hormones, you're not welcome here.
@grebretso I get sick way more in the summer due to temperature fluctuations and the air conditioning etc. I almost always end up with strep or bronchitis on holiday weekends like Memorial Day and Labor Day
@madreofdragons Wasn’t it you that had to do the 24-hour collection, too? I just got the results from mine and I’m wondering if it’s on target. Ultimately, I know I need to talk to my doctor, but I’m just curious. They flagged mine as low. I just did some reading, though, and it doesn’t sound like that’s actually the case.
@danixbanani24- I am so so sorry for what you are going through!
i came here to complain about my older sister who is the most needy, purportedly incapable of doing things for herself person in the world, and acts like our whole family is her staff... and then just had the nerve to text me that it is incredibly hard for her to ask for help. BAHAHAHA. I say purportedly because she has an MBA, a fancy job, etc, but likes to delegate her life responsibilities to us, from basic (the latest was her asking me to buy her a thing online as if she could not handle it) to expecting people to take care of her daughter at times she is literally not working and thus available to care for her own child. Anyone else have a sibling they can't stand? My patience as a prego has been reduced to zilch. Ok vent over. Thx!
My friend from my first BMB is staying at our house with her family - we haven’t seen them in almost a year but it’s just shows you how cool these BMBs can be - we’ve known each other almost 5 years and have met in person maybe 8 times, but she’s one of my best friends.
Finally heard back from insurance. They said it’s still considered “experimental” so it won’t be covered which is complete bs but whatever.
also my husband got a 55 inch tv from a friend and put it in our BEDROOM it’s rediculas it takes up almost the whole wall. Which btw is turning into a nursery soon so he will have to take it down in a month
I am irrationally irritated with a coworker right now. She has these ridiculous expectations that she just pulls out of her ass because her new boss actually (gasp!) expects her to do her own work and fill her hours with actual work instead of gossiping all day. She drives me absolutely crazy. And now that her boss has normal expectations for her, she's trying to get me to do her work. No thank you! I've got plenty going on over here, thank you very much. And she expects me to have knowledge about conversations I was never a part of. Like I wasn't there when you had this discussion, and no one brought me in about it, so don't act like I'm skinning you alive for asking follow up questions about your assumptions. UGH.
@kayjay44 that is awesome! I'm sad that I live in the middle of no where.. it's hard to meet up with anyone!
I'm freaking out about school starting in a couple weeks. I was confident in myself about being a pregnant mom of two and kicking this semester in the ass but now I'm second guessing myself. I'm taking six really hard classes so that next semester when I have the baby and I can take a lighter course load and I'm nervous I bit off more than I can chew. Ahh!
Who has two thumbs and is officially officially in the second tri? THIS GIRL. Thank you sweet baby Jesus. 14w0d into my most unenjoyable pregnancy yet. Third time really is a charm.. ern, a pain in the ass. Here’s number 2 being a total dweeb last weekend.
Similar to @lifeofboggs DH doing "renovation" work: My DH yesterday asked me if we could make our bedroom into a "high altitude chamber", which can improve endurance for runners. Granted, he's a serious runner so this isn't super out of left field for him. But an "altitude chamber" bedroom? With a lower level of oxygen than the rest of our house, just so that he can have some kind of improved physiology for running?! That'll be a bit ole NOPE. I told him he can build himself an altitude chamber outhouse.
I sent my mom yesterday’s US pic and she immediately said it’s a boy. Lol mom, I’m only 12 weeks. Had to remind her she was also convinced I was a boy up until I was born. She only had a boy name ready and everything.

@hannahbananas11 hahaha! If he builds this outhouse you need to post pics!
@lifeofboggs how is it experimental?? God insurance companies can suck it. In regards to the tv thing, my husband insisted on a 65” tv in our living room when ours stopped working. What is it with guys and big TVs??
So my D (damn double damn!) D decided she wanted to smear her poop everywhere again instead of napping. AND my back is still killing me to the point I can’t bend over without serious pain. Luckily my parents were over for a visit so they could help but damn I’m gonna need to put this kid in a straight jacket or something.
@allthingsgo My DD would take off her diaper at night and during her nap, so we had to start putting on her onesie-sleeper backwards. The first night she hated it, but now has no problem with it. #MomhackFTW!
Hi all.. been on vacation the last 2 weeks. Im 15 weeks on sunday is anyone else not gaining weight yet? I know 1st trimester was fine not too but i should be adding a pound a week now no??
@cass06_07 I’m only 12 weeks, but like @kayjay44 I’ve also lost weight so far. I don’t have much to lose, so I was a little worried, but baby looked fine and even measured a day ahead at my US a couple days ago.
I’m sure weight gain will happen for us all eventually! It probably starts at varying times for everyone too, just like how our bumps are all different. I wouldn’t worry about no weight gain at 15 weeks.
DS born 2/18/2019 DD born 4/1/2023 Baby #3 EDD 11/21/2024
If your doctor is concerned about your weight gain (too much or too little) they will bring it up. Because of my stomach/throat issues and my severe heartburn, I don’t gain much and it’s been an issue towards the end. The baby gets what it needs most of the time - I had norovirus with my second and was convinced I would die. When they checked on DS in the hospital, he was absolutely fine and showed no signs of dehydration in utero even though I was dying.
@cass06_07 I asked my ob this question a few weeks ago, and she said that weight gain isn't a set thing, it's always just an estimate. She said that not gaining weight during the first tri and some of the second isn't a huge deal, especially if you feel fine, you're peeing regularly (dehydration is a big factor in weight) and baby's checking out normal at appointments. I'm guessing that your OB/MW took your weight at your initial appointment? If so, they'd mention it to you at your appointments if they were concerned you weren't on track with weight gain.
Edit: added caveat of "during first/second tri", because not gaining weight at all during the entire pregnancy would be a definite warning sign.
