Unpopular Opinion (UO) Thursday 11/8

Re: Unpopular Opinion (UO) Thursday 11/8
I fully anticipate that I will be giving birth sometimes mid May. DD1 is graduating kindergarten this year and I'm just praying they get the May 4th date nailed down so I can for sure be there. The other date they are thinking is May 18th and I'm worried that I would miss it. Although, I plan to pop this baby out and go so as long as I'm not giving birth that day, I will be there. Unless something goes terribly wrong and me or the baby have to stay.
DD: Aug '16
10/2017: Twins confirmed with TTTS at 22 weeks.
10/10/17 Twin B passed after in utero surgery
11/2/17 Twin A & B born
11/26/17: Twin A passed after 24 days fighting in the NICU
Benched 6 months
BFP: 6/28/18 MC:7/16/18 BO
BFP: 10/2/18 EDD 6/15/18
I think Starbucks coffee tastes like crap and they'd never survive as a company if they didn't have a full menu of fancy sugary drinks to mask the taste.
I'm afraid I'm going to love my dog more than this baby.
But its the only photos I have of my one son alive. So I think about them differently now. I’m all about the sharing.

So agree @meatballs37 about 2bmb.
I am currently jury-rigging a hamster cage that’s 10 years old to accommodate a mouse that we caught in in house since we are such softies we can’t kill it or throw it back outside. He is named olive since I caught him in a packet of Olive Garden Parmesan cheese we apparently had thrown in our junk drawer (I obsessively save restaurant takeout condiments) and this little thing will cost us so much more energy and money than any sane person should be expending especially since one of our cats will probably get him somehow in the end. Poor little olive.
ETA meet olive
If you can't kill it just take it a few miles away from your house and dump it. That way, it likely won't find it's way back into your home but can still live out its life.
We had a mouse problem a few years back and I had no issues killing that thing. I have had pet mice and rats while growing up too.
@harrierwife Ha, I don't even drink coffee actually so I'm totally one of those people that's like "Yes, I will have the double chocolate chip frappocino with extra whipped cream." It's not really ice cream... Actually the reason I used to love going to Starbucks was when I was in high school they used to sell these lollipops that were soda flavored and I was obsessed with them.
UO: the older I get, the more I think Lorelai Gilmore is trash. In college I soooooo wanted to be her someday. Now that I'm literally the same age as she is on the show (series, not Netflix; side note, UO#2, the reboot was terrible), I think she's awful and cheer for Emily.
Which is all meaningless if you don't/didn't watch Gilmore Girls, but that's my go-to every basketball season... watch it start to finish every year while DH is working longer hours or at away games.
@harrierwife I was afraid of that with my first and sometimes I do love the dogs more, but only for a fraction of a second then those little arms go around your neck and say "'I love you mommy" and you never think about it again!
Mine is that I absolutely hate Thanksgiving food. Dressing/Stuffing makes me want to puke. I don't do cranberry sauce and Ham and Turkey are just not my jam. I am just here for the potatoes and rolls.
@Dcwtada my skin is literally crawling...get it out!! hahaha. only slightly kidding.
We have a mouse problem at work and I would have no problem with it being caught in the poisonous trap that's set. Mice and rats give me the creeps.
@harrierwife I worried about that a little bit too. Our dog was like our "baby". I mean I did professional 1st birthday pictures for him with a dog cake and all. (disclaimer: my mom's a photographer so it's not as crazy as it sounds) But once baby #1 came the dog definitely shifted to just a spoiled dog and not our "baby" for the most part.
We have corn/bean fields behind our house and during harvest and once it gets cold it’s a problem every year as they lose their home/food source and it gets too cold for them and they seek warm shelter. We have cats and a couple unofficial barn cats (we do spay and release around here for feral cats) I don’t mind them killing them, this is just the only one that made it past the cat gauntlet so far. I feel like he deserves a fighting chance. My sister is a vet tech at animal wellness league and raises mice (as snake food but that’s another story) so I am waiting for her butt to wake up and get her advice. I have no intention of handling him but I am so glad we caught him as opposed to a surprise gift from my cat. I appreciate yet hate those gifts.
I love the bump app, I just have a strong dislike for the admins of the community threads on here. I love reading about and talking to other moms who are as far along as me. I don’t post a lot because I’m afraid my pregnancy rage will get the best of me and I’ll end up saying something mean to the admins who swear they are trying to keep the boards from being cluttered but it appears more like a power trip. To be frank, we are on here for nine months, so who honestly cares if someone wants to post a separate asking questions?
Thats my rant for the dat. 😂 I haven’t shared the news on Facebook yet, so I’m pretty sure people think I’m crazy. My hormones are all over the place!
I cannot stand spiral ham and 99% of turkeys are like sawdust.
@chrssyms Oddly enough, when I first joined this board I was SO PUMPED to share my US photos. Then after my first US, I was sitting at home looking at the picture in the little paper frame the doctor put it in that said "Babys 1st Photo" and realized it was the first time I felt a true connection to this little human inside of me. That's when I realized it was something I wanted to keep to myself.
@ki1244 I agree! She really jerked people around constantly and was selfish. I rewatched the series a few years ago and really saw it differently than my late teen self.
@wearyfuzzball I'm absolutely with you on the u/s picture. I cropped it any everything preparing to post and then held back...I haven't shown my own mother yet. Maybe after the cat's out of the bag I'll feel differently but for now, no thanks!
When people say "it will be so worth it!!" whenever I mention MS/nausea/constipation/food aversions/insomnia I literally picture punching them in the throat.
@harrierwife I am so sad that I cannot partake in the Aldi wine advent calendar... NEXT YEAR THOUGH. It is on.
Also, there are no admins on this board. We just all agree that we don't want to scroll through AW posts about painful bowels and "am I pregnant?" posts before we get to something actually meaningful to the community.
Maybe you should just go hang out on the first tri board and post your 1 off AW posts. That way, you can clutter that board and not be surrounded by "admins" who bring your pregnancy rage out.
My sister does it ALL the time and it makes me cringe. I always take my complainys with companies to their customer service and I always get the issue take care of, plus more. You just have to be nice and treat the customer service representative like a human.
My UO: I tend to assume that the people who hate board organization have really messy houses.
