My whole office building has mold... but there is almost no urgency in getting it taken care of. It is incredibly frustrating and I’m at a loss of what to do besides take every opportunity to avoid the building.
I’m worried about taking it home to my daughter and short of changing clothes before I pick her up from daycare I don’t know what to do. I just feel like a ticking time bomb.

@bdesterhouse It’s a building on a US military base so I doubt the city has any power here. I believe that it is green and black mold, as well as mildew.

We are in a “green” newly “refurbished” building on a navy base and also have mold, my understanding is it’s primarily around the windows due to bad seals. One of the guys in an infected office started getting constant nose bleeds....

@meggyme I’m sorry for you about the mold issue. And I thank you for this random waterslide meme. I’ve watched it about 20 times, mesmerized hahaha.
My random is also an embarrassed confession: I’ve been using this mobile app for a few months now & have been very irritated that every time I’m done reading a thread I have to scroll all the way up through all the comments to go back to The Bump Month Clubs, then Commmunity, and then re-click on March 2019 Month Club in order to read something new.
Uuuuummmmm, just realized today that at the very bottom of the page there’s a link to March 2019 Moms that takes me back to exactly where I want to be in one simple step. Hahahaha....
On mobile there is also a back button on the top left. You can save boards so you don’t have to keep looking them up by clicking the star on the left side of the board and there’s also a way to set March 19 as your BMB so it will save it.

I am also excited about the “new” link! I usually use the back button but it seems like it takes me too far back and it’s annoying.
I picked up a donut after preschool drop off (#badmom #donttellmykid) and the lady handed me a box, “I hope you don’t mind, I gave you two because they’re kind of small”. Now my dilemma is do I eat them both or save one for my minion....

Hahaha of course! The baby! He needs one too. What was I thinking??

My random is that i am FINALLY annoyed with random and one offs on the board LOL. i will admit maybe 2 years ago i did a one off and i got FLAMED LOL. but i didnt read or lurk so that was on me....this last post about guessing the gender really irked me last night. maybe i am becoming preggo ocd...but it messes up how organized the board is LOL. i wanna be snarky too but i dont have it in me...so appreciate you guys who took one for the team! its almost rude to me to pop up at this point with these familiar conversations...like who are you? where have you been the last 2 months? LOL.
@zionsmama85 that feeling will only get worse the longer we go. With my last BMB we had people showing up well after babies were born, naturally with a one off about the problem ONLY their baby was having, like not sleeping through the night. There will be whole threads with nothing but advice and commiseration and people will still barge in and post a one off.
At a certain point it’s like walking in on a group of friend’s and interrupting them asking about your baby’s poop color.

I don't like the one-offs but I find myself more annoyed by the select few who seem to welcome them as entertainment? I'm sorry but this is a support community forum, not tryouts for The Bachelor. If you're bored, try Netflix.
@HoneyBear40 haha! I needed that light this morning! I may have cried on the phone with the OB office when they called 3 hours before my appointment to reschedule for the second time.
Having a pity party for myself... it’s my month to host book club, and it of 12, only one person said their coming and it’s supposed to be tomorrow. This had happened a couple times when I host and it’s just super disappointing. End of whiny self indulgence...
Current pet peeve: people who don't understand the difference between "reply" and "reply all."
A family member recently sent out a big email to all their family and their spouse's family with some news. Cue 10 responses of "congrats," "oh, that's exciting," "happy for you," "nice to hear, TY for letting us know," etc. that keep buzzing my phone. Two days later, once they've finally died down, said family member replies all with a just as or even more exciting update. Cue all those same family members: "oh, hooray!," "even better," "what a great update," etc. Ugh.
And along with that, my other pet peeve is people who don't understand bcc and that they could prevent this altogether!
And many of these are young people who should understand technology and see that they're getting 10 reply alls, realize they're contributing to it, and then change their practices accordingly.
The email was sent to way more than 10 people, so at least some people understand how to appropriately use email.
@lovesclimbing YESSSS. There ought to be courses on proper email etiquette like there are for proper typing! The worst is when others start adding to the noise by hitting reply all to tell everyone else to stop replying all (which of course, does not stop it)
My random.. so many MONTHS ago, I lost one of my favorite earrings. I didn't notice until partly through the work day and it was no where near my desk so I figured it was gone for good, that I had lost it on the shuttle to work (I thought I had heard something drop on my way getting off) or walking through the hallways or something. The earrings came from StitchFix so when I ordered another box recently, I asked that they send another pair if they had any. Well, they did not. But that ended up being a good thing because I would have bought them. THREE DAYS later, I find the missing earring at the bottom of my laundry basket. How it's stayed hidden for so long, I'll never know but I was ecstatic to find it!!!!
Time to vent. Evidently MIL has taken it upon herself to start telling people our baby’s “name”, which is not set in stone and makes me mad for a number of reasons including PGAL brain. Additionally she is telling people the incorrect name which is how we found out, “are you really naming the baby Chester?” Ummm no.

OMG! I would be so upset. I already told family we're team green, so we won't be finding out the gender. Also, we know what we're naming this baby, but I refuse to tell anyone because I don't want their opinions on it.
@mamakate1616 That is seriously irritating. Why can’t people leave stuff like telling a baby’s name or gender up to the baby’s parents??
My MIL, with all good intentions, keeps pressing my husband and I for the names we are considering. I don’t want to tell anyone until it’s decided, which it really isn’t yet, so I have been reluctant to share. I just feel like once I say a name I really like someone is bound to say something negative about it that will ruin it for me.
@mamakate1616 you should tell her that you’ve chosen a different (fake) name like Wendell and let her just spread her gossip to her hearts content. Then when you name it something else she’ll just look stupid and maybe next time she’ll be a bit more cautious with information she has no control over.
DD1: June '16 DD2: March ‘19 :::: Married since 2011 :::: USN Wife ::::
@mamakate1616 I have to agree with @meggyme and give her a fake name and then you can always just say you changed your mind when you saw baby after delivery. (And if Wendell is your actual name choice that would just be too weird!)
@meggyme I love this Since MH's family has a strong Greek background, we want to stick with Greek origin names and I joked that we should tell family we picked a name like Agamemnon but MH didn't think that was funny and his response was just 'but why?'. I just figure if people are going to talk about your choice in names, might as well give them something to talk about (but then chose a more reasonable name for actual baby).
@mamakate1616 I totally a agree. If she wants to gossip about a name give her a ridiculously fake one. This is one of the many reasons why we don’t tell anyone any names we’ve talked about until LO is born. People lose all sense of boundaries when it comes to pregnancy.
Bdesterhouse, I agree, I think that's way too many! We had just one girl name and two boy names when our daughter was born. But now, I'm not sure we'll use either boy name if we have a boy! And of course, we have to come up with another girl name. (Team green.) I want us to have it down to one of each, but I'm also not a person who thinks a baby can come out and not "look like a Samantha/Ryan/Anna."
@bdesterhouse - 10 names is bazonkers! 3-5 good possibilities is max, and more like 3. If it was a girl, I planned to take 2-3 options, but dh is naming since we’re having a boy.
I try to get where he is coming from, but I still think it’s on the ridiculous side. It’s his way to prepare for the worse to happen due to our history. Thankfully we aren’t team green or it would be crazy coming up with both boy/girl names
We have two sleeping beauties in heaven. Jack gained his wings on 09/02/2016. Kali gained her wings on 07/28/2015. They will be forever missed.
@bdesterhouse OMG we struggled for 1-2 names per gender with our first...jeepers! Team Green here too and our boy name is still sticking around (well, first name. I already asked for a middle name change) but it's been a battle starting at square one for a girl name. I honestly don't remember what our 2nd choice girl name was when we had our daughter...must not have meant that much to me haha
