Same. When I logged in to TB on my laptop, there was a message about re-uploading avatars if they don’t load correctly so I imagine it’s another one of TB’s lovely glitches or something

Can you see mine? Until recently I hadn't been on TB in a couple years (my last BMB was N15) so I have no idea if my avatar is showing up; it looks fine from my and end who knows. I'll re-upload if I need to.
Also my 3yo was doing so well with keeping his underwear dry and then during his birthday party he had SEVEN accidents. He literally ran out of long pants to wear because he peed in all of them. I am so DONE WITH POTTY TRAINING!

DS1 did this last Monday. The next day, he was fine. I hate potty training so much!
Milk protein and I don’t get along. One pregnancy thing for me is I tend to crave milk products.
I handed DH a box of Mac and cheese and asked him to make it for me. I went and laid down. When he made a face at me, I told him it’s better than sending him to the store for the crab legs I really wanted. He shut up. I’m now laying in bed while he makes Mac and cheese. Wife of the year over here. 🙈🙈
@cmbt2 My first was so easy to potty train I feel like he tricked me.
have you tried the Costco already made Mac n cheese? We got some as a side dish for the birthday party on Saturday and I am sooo hoarding the leftovers for myself. 😋 Will you have indigestion after eating it?
What do the icons by someone’s screen name mean? The heart, speech bubble, cake, check mark etc.?
These icons are TBs way of ranking how cool we are, LOL.
I think the speech bubble indicates how many times you've commented, the cake indicates how many anniversaries you've had since establishing your account, etc.

We don’t have Costco 😭 I had one when I was in the Boston area and loved it. Alas, we moved over 3 years ago and Sam’s club is not the same
Milk protein with me is weird. I tend to throw up if I eat it when not pregnant, but for some reason, I can generally tolerate it pregnant. No one knows why, and the intolerance comes back 1-2 weeks post birth 🤷🏼♀️ My second is MPI and never outgrew it, and so are a few other family members
@cmbt2 After my second pregnancy I all of a sudden can’t eat dairy anymore 😩 Found out the severity of it after eating ice cream and vomiting (and I NEVER let myself vomit bc I hate it so much). Of course now I find myself craving a glass of milk and cheese so bad. Kinda hoping this pregnancy fixes whatever the last one broke haha
@cmbt2@melanier26 My daughter if very sensitive to lactose as well. She can’t even have a tiny bite without being really sick. The GI dr recommended the lactaid pills. They work like magic! If you haven’t tried them I would definitely recommend it. You just chew the pill with your first bite of food and it blocks the lactose protein. Lactaid also makes milk and ice cream that taste the same as the regular stuff.

Yep same here, last pregnancy and this one. I wasn't expecting it to start so soon, but I just finished off a big glass of chocolate milk instead of dinner. And mom of the year over here did it despite the fact there's only enough for one more bottle left and a snow storm coming tomorrow. I figured we still have some formula for DS, he'll be fine 🤷♀️

@c.gardner37 I did try them for awhile and it went okay, but I did take them just before The Ice Cream Incident and they obviously didn’t work that time so I’m not entirely sure if it’s the lactose or something else that causes my issue

My issue isn’t lactose 😞 it’s the milk protein itself. Lactaid doesn’t help with that (not for lack of trying) 😞

The target here was out of flax milk for DS2, and im down to the last box. I didn’t stop after work yesterday at the grocery store and it’s supposed to snow today. Oops.
The employees in our institute are striking for better pay so this also impacts DC. Not much, but after getting like 2 hours of sleep last night (thanks to DD2 who could only sleep when draped over me and snoring in my ear but wouldn't relinquish her binkie so she could, you know, breathe through her mouth) I was hoping to leave work at 3 and get 1 hour naptime in before picking up the kids. Haha lol nope. DC is understaffed so I should "try to be there by 3ish". Argh.
I'm feeling really hopeless about this semester if I spend a week talking about the same four people and I still can't get students to remember Henry VIII was the one who got a divorce.
After a week of dealing with a virus that felt like a really bad cold, I thought I was done. Only to discover this morning that my 10 mo old and myself now have pink eye and ear infections. I’m not handling it very well, emotionally.
There isn’t a “what my pregnant self is eating thread” - will there be one later? Should I start one?
In in any case, I don’t eat McDonald’s unless I’m pregnant and only breakfast. So this morning I had a sausage egg McGriddle, hash browns, a vanilla iced coffee and a fruit in yogurt parfait with a side of ranch. I will regret it later but, yuuummmmmm.
@galentine well, I didnt eat the two together... hahaha. Not yet anyways. 😬🤢
Why is resturant/fast food ranch so much better than the bottled stuff???
I totally thought you meant the ranch was for the parfeit too 😂. When I was pregnant with DS my weirdest thing I craved was dipping a crunch bar (specifically, no other chocolate bar would do) in spicy queso.
I am very picky about my ranch. The restaurant/homemade kind is 1000% better than bottled. Idk about fast food ranch though, I'm thinking that'd be a no for me.
I have a theory that each restaurants sauces are made for that restaurant's food and only their food (for instance, McDonald's sweet & sour was made for their chicken nuggets) because whenever I use restaurant sauces at home, they never taste as good 😭😂
