I confess that I can't hold this news in any longer and we are telling our close family this Sunday. I tried y'all but I just can't do it...especially after seeing/hearing that heartbeat yesterday.
I just sent my best friend a cryptic text. Waiting for her response. Waiting for her response. She's always the 1st person I tell other than the boy person. Won't tell anyone else until I have a good clean ultrasound
Current pregnancy - First BFP on 1/4/22. Due date 9/13/22.
Four prior losses, no living children - 1 first trimester miscarriage, 1 blighted ovum, 1 chemical, and one extreme premature live birth daughter who died at 15 days old.
I tell lots of random people, but not close family first. 😂 Like, I’ll just drop it into conversation for absolutely no reason. I could be at Bed Bath & Beyond and ask a sales associate, “Is this towel safe for pregnant people? Because I’m pregnant. Just thought I’d check.”

I also tell random people and it feels so good!!! My sister knows because this app popped up with a notification while face up on the table 🤦♀️
My confession- I bought some adorable baby Christmas clothes for both genders yesterday! I justified that they were in sale so it made sense....but really I'm just too excited!
We aren’t sharing the news until we get NIPT results back. My mom was super pissed that we waited to tell everyone with my son but I don’t care. We told the family early during my first pregnancy but I miscarried and my mom refused to give me the space I needed to grieve and made it all about her and I just can’t go through that again.
My confession is that I’ve made the mistake of googling my high HCG levels and symptoms and I’ve managed to totally freak myself out over what could be nothing. Seriously, stay away from google it’s just not helpful!
Even though we've already discussed it and I understand people are still learning to use the board correctly. I think because I put all "knotties" as one person I'm getting more annoyed, especially with the knotties that just post an US picture she nothing else. Like why do I want to see your picture (and most likely know your hospital, name, and/or edd because they don't crop anything) when I'm not vested in your story yet?
@kootenayangiebee55 I had to hold back last week when I was shopping a sale to not buy things for the new baby and just for my toddlers. It's hard when it's a good deal. Maybe if we get good US stuff I'll let myself by something next week.
lol @elle-0409 I do the same. Like my cleaning lady knows because I asked her to not use any strong smelling products, even though she normally does and I don’t have a problem with it. She was like oh okay… and I was like I’m pregnant again and super sensitive to smells and she was like oh!!! Congrats!!!
@kootenayangiebee55 haha I also bought a cute Christmas onesie because it was on the clearance rack. And I was like eh whatever, this is ridiculous but I’m doing it anyway lol.
At my podiatrist appointment this morning I asked them if the topical anasthetic for my toe was pregnancy-safe.
(It was, duh)

We have only told a few close friends and no family yet-- it feels so backwards but we see these friends everyday so I need them to know!!
I. Am. Just. Exhausted. My husband has been home with our toddler all week due to her having to quarantine longer than the rest of us (we had covid last week) and I feel like he should have EVERYTHING done when I get home even though I know that isn't reasonable in the least I know I have been no fun to deal with lately!!
@jhysmath I see the knotties all as one person also. We don’t know each other yet so when I learn an interesting fact, I try to put it with a name so I can learn everyone. Not having a “name” makes it hard.
I am soooooo forgetful lately. It’s clearly the pregnancy. So, this is not a confession because I don’t feel bad but just agreeing that I need people to be very active for me to remember them here! I don’t remember it being so hard to remember things in my first BMB!
Ok but seriously listen to my spaciness! I needed to enroll my son in after school gymnastics. It’s a class he’s already been taking and loves. Lots of other moms asked me which class I was signing him up for this session. I even told the aftercare director I was enrolling him in gymnastics. But I didn’t actually do it and the class filled.
I talked to the aftercare director who was willing to ask the coach if he would take my son as a 13th kid in the class. The coach likes my son and said just because it was him, okay. But my forgetful ness almost cost my 3 year old a really good experience and his good listening and participation in the past session got him in to the class.
Also, I spent an hour looking for the new masks I had just received for my son. I finally realized I had just ordered them (not received them). An hour looking for the masks I had just ordered!
I also spent over an hour looking for my husband and son’s Covid test results on the portal for the pharmacy we regularly use. We’re testing weekly for preschool and have to submit the results. I couldn’t find them! I finally called the pharmacy and she was like, umm they are there. Look again. Yeah, they were right there the whole time.
And I just remembered I forgot to submit them to preschool! Bah! You guys I’m so spaced out!!!!! I’m not normally like this!!!!
@mamamoomoo12 maybe Amazon is trying to protect you from the nastiness that is red vines?

I also made it very clear this week that no one but DH could touch my stomach without my consent. And I am going to be strict on that even if people aren’t happy about that 🤣
@mamamoomoo12 my mom has been in Switzerland/Germany since September and she went to the Haribo store in Germany and I CANNOT get gummy bears out of my head hahahah. Red Vines don’t sound bad either!
also - feel ya on the other front. Was not ready for that hahaha

I used a fake COVID excuse to cancel a cocktail party so that I didn’t have to hide not drinking 🤷♀️
