I used pasta merely as a conduit by which to put yummy alfredo sauce into my body this week. I didn't want the pasta. Just the sauce. But I didn't want to look like a crazy person. So I made pasta. There was more sauce than pasta.
Also, I may or may not have unintentionally found a different daycare I like better than the one we already put the $100 non-refundable deposit down on...and they have availability for when we'd need them...my husband is not totally pleased with that at the moment. Whoops.
I miss my jeans, and loads of other clothes in my closet... and I’m not even big yet. Broke down and bought a maternity pair and I don’t get why everyone thinks maternity jeans are so great.
@anniemarie887 I was just telling my mom today how much I hate maternity jeans. Every pair I owned from when I was pregnant with my older kids were really uncomfortable and I donated them all when I was going through my maternity clothes. I am pretty sure I am going to only wear leggings this pregnancy if I can help it.
@anniemarie887 and @holly321 I will join yall in that thought. I seriously hate them. I will wear my regular jeans until I cant no more, then I am just going to leggings and dresses haha.
@klmcguire ugh my real pants are not comfortable any longer. I like high waisted pretty stiff denim. So pretty much as soon as the bloat started it was downhill. I will second about lurking on TTGP and other BMBs. It’s SO QUIET OVER HERE.
@klmcguire I’m happy there aren’t crazies unless we are all secretly hiding it. I’m sure something will happen eventually. Also it’s probably because we don’t have a “head honcho” with a huge ego that has to have everything their way.
@blueskychicago12 Yes!! Most have a head bitch in charge who polices the board and squashes other members.
@rjgmcmanus I’ve been craving Alfredo. I don’t want jarred or even with pasta, I want to go to a restaurant and get a bowl to dunk breadsticks in. I may need to wheel thru Fazoli’s and see if they offer just plain sauce until I find something better.
My late FFC- I’m going to stop editing my posts for spelling. Apparently it’s a lost cause.
My confession is that I'm being kind of a brat about choosing a name. I have one that I am dead set on, and I've been shooting down all of my husband's suggestions, even the decent ones😏
@bookworm492 Second that. Becoming a new mom is hard enough without random "mean girls" being judgy in what's supposed to be a safe space. I love how nice everyone has been here so far, and feel bad for people in other boards who are dealing with that mess. So thanks for being amazing, ladies! You all rock!
@blueskychicago12 I am so ashamed to admit I did not know (forgot?) Olive Garden has that! I love that place! I actually have a gift card, I may make the 45 minute drive alone just for that today
I'm liking that there's no real drama here, but it definitely feels like it's because people aren't posting as much, or maybe being shy about opinions that may cause drama.
My unpopular opinion is maybe that it's not so much that there have been "mean girls" in other BMB's (or rather, other boards on this site even), it's just that the later it gets, the more we get to know each other, the more intrusive it feels when some random pops in, doesn't read the rules at all, and posts a stupid question that's covered somewhere already or is easily answered on Google. Especially because when you join there's a 3 day waiting period specifically FOR the purpose of reading, getting to see how things work, and being able to join in without disrupting the existing flow of the community.
My confession: I will totally be that "mean girl" if that sort of shit starts happening in like October/November/December. I have nothing against new members, or giving all the advice in the world to new (or even not new) mothers, I just think if you're joining an established community, there are ways to do it without feeling like an intruder. And I say this as the person who joined my last group when I was about 6 months pregnant already and was never given any shit about being new because I acknowledged it, and integrated myself gradually instead of busting in and making a bunch of unnecessary threads.
@mecoats Totally didn't even think about that. I guess I hadn't realized that we don't really have anyone one person "running the show" This makes sense.
@k_mama91 I have stopped editing for grammar. I am not an English teacher and I am other than using a comma wrong here and there I think I am fine, but I refuse to act like I know what I am doing with commas anymore haha!
@mecoats My husband is out with the car (we only have one) and I legitimately just considered getting on the bus and riding there. And I already ate dinner tonight😆

I'm glad we dont have anyone catty around here! I think that would make me want to bow out. Everyone here is so nice☺
Legit. This is new news. And amazing news at that.
