@ljmoon6 I just want to send you some hugs and love. I’m on the opposite side, so to speak, but even though we didn’t have too rough of a time to get KU, I feel an immense amount of guilt for it because I have seen my close friends (and even sister) struggle with it. The whole TTC business is tricky and basically sucks. It’s okay to feel bitter, and just because you’re KU it doesn’t mean you’re automatically okay with everyone else popping babies out after 2 seconds of trying/not trying.
Also, on a completely unrelated note, why won’t that showing early thread die?!?
@themadcamel and @lillywonderland ughhhhhhhh preaaaaaaacccchhhhh!!!! There are so many threads I just want to right-click-DELETE on! Can I Marie Kondo this board real quick?!?!
Also, super annoying that my notifications won't show up on the app, other laptops, mobile site, etc. etc.
I'm blatantly ignoring the bridesmaid dress thread because I just don't have the energy to say anything other than "no I will not help you pick undergarments".

@lillywonderland 🤣 my thoughts exactly. I presume it means boob pad? Like, incase you leak thru the dress? I also read ‘corsets’ as ‘car seats’ since you know, we’re rolling with the misspellings here, and, well, 🤷🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🧐🙄🤔.
@sunshine2417 I was just this morning wondering when that was coming out! DH doesn't know it yet but we're having an impromptu date night tonight with ice cream for dinner + watching that.
Hi ladies! Just popping in to say hello as the newbie to the board. You know, instead of the creepy lurking I’ve been doing all day today. 😂. I just got home from work and I’m about to head out for a little afternoon walk (you know, before the kids, dinner, bedtime chaos)
@lillywonderland lol we will see how excited you are once you find out how boring I am lol. But thanks for the welcome! Yeah, I’ve just been poking around casually today, I’ll find the right groove in no time
Being an ultrasound tech and pregnant is so hard. I scanned a girl in the ER just an hour ago who is a week ahead of me and has next to no fluid 😢. I like to keep thinking I’m in the clear for losses and such, then stuff like that happens. Statistically I know I’ll be fine, but it really sucks. Last month I scanned someone that was supposed to be 19 weeks but the baby passed at 16 weeks. Last July I scanned a girl that was 33 weeks and the baby passed and her uterus ruptured. There’s really no guarantee.
Sorry to be a downer. I can’t stop thinking of her and how excited she was about the baby and how close we were in dates and such (asked before I started scanning).
@sunshine2417 ok, so I've tried so hard to appreciate Amy Schumer, but I just can't get behind her. A lot of people I know think she's hilarious, but there's something about her that I just can't stand lol. Probably an unpopular opinion.
@calliah I’m sorry you have to deal with that at work. To be completely honest though I’ll prolly never really feel “out of the woods”, even after baby is here. So many things to worry about!! I think the anxiety/stress is just a natural part of parenthood. Welcome to a lifetime of worry!! 😬
@themadcamel I’m with you about Amy Shumer. She’s just...okay.
Oh I completely agree, the worry is never ending. This is your new normal :-)
Having said that, a little anecdote:
A couple of weeks ago I was brushing my daughter's teeth before bed and she started playing on the steps that I always tell her not to play on and BAM! smacked her face on the granite vanity. Bloody freakin' mess.
Now my son had done the same thing a couple of years ago in his own special way. Being my first kid I immediately freak out (lots of little blood vessels in the gums make everything bleed so much). Called the dentist right away and they calmed me down. Bit of pressure and it stopped. He was totally fine.
So of course when my daughter did it my reaction was "Oh come on! Really, dude?? I'm trying to get you into bed!" Poor kid. Gets no sympathy :-D Wet washcloth, pressure for couple minutes, bleeding stops, clean her up, check her teeth and gums, all is good. I mean, she did tear that little thingy that attached the upper lip to the gums (like my son had) but that's no biggie (I know now....) :-)
But even though she's the second, she's still found plenty of unique ways of her own to make me worry. :-)
Welcome @LilyASF42!!!! We love new friends :-) As a sidetone, were you by any chance a F'17 mama? Your username seems familiar because I always read it as Lily-as-f*ck, but I recall that not being the meaning behind it. I was Teachermama something number whatever back then, but I'm no longer a teacher so I changed my username because that seemed deceiving lol
Agreed, @zuuls_mom...but I still have a lump in my throat when I think of all the awesome people we lost along the way. Our board would be so much better if they were still with us.
I can't remember if we made a March deals and sales thread and I'm too lazy to search for it, but West Elm has a 20% off entire purchase and free shipping deal online. It ends tonight; the code is FRIENDS.
I bought a few things and am so excited! Gender neutral in case the NIPT was wrong about the sex.
@themadcamel We got the same lamp! Saw it in store awhile ago but just ordered it online. Sadly it's backordered. It's the first baby thing I've bought.
@lillywonderland@zuuls_mom I’m the newb here but so far it seems like a great group! I also hope it stays active (that includes me!!). Obviously I didn’t know the members from early on but I do wish the best for them and continued good health for everyone here ❤️
I’m sorry I have been MIA recently! I’ve been visiting family, now my mom is visiting us, and later this week is my husbands birthday and our trip to Naples! Plus, I have my two birth groups on fb from my first two kids. I want to be involved but it’s hard to stay caught up!
