No randoms yet?  Post 'em here.  

Don't have a random?  

GTKY:  How did you meet your spouse, s/o, dude that got you knocked up. 

[kaydee0402]

Work until 2:30, then going to my 16 week appointment. Wow, 16 weeks already? This summer/pregnancy is FLYING.

[kaydee0402]

GTKY: We met at a Brad Paisley concert. I was a few beers deep and asked him to take a picture of my friends and I with the stage in the background. After getting our picture taken, I turned around, and his friend shouts at me, "Hey girl!" Obviously aggrevated, I turned around and snapped at the guy, "WHAT?!" He said, "My friend here wants your number." I looked at DH and said, "Do you want my number?" He looked me dead in the eye and said, "Nope." I was like, "Whatever, rude," and turned back around.

A few minutes later, he came down to where I was sitting and said, "I'm sorry ma'am. I was nervous. I really do want your number." I was kind of like, "Ehhh." So he said, "What if I buy you a beer?" I of course agreed.

We texted back and forth all weekend, went out on a date that following Monday and got engaged three months later.

Hope your appointment goes well! kaydee0402,

[requiressnacks]

So....at 5:00 a.m. H and I decided to cancel our rainy/cold NH/VT getaway and booked a trip to Wildwood, NJ instead!

I've never been there, but we got a room on the beach and the weather forecast is looking great. I think I was inspired by the pre-baby bucket list. I basically told him that we need to go places before we have 2 kids.

requiressnacks, how spontaneous! Have fun!

This is the best story! So cute! It was definitely true love.

[requiressnacks]

I met MH at a brewery. Don't all good love stories start with alcohol? haha.

He actually went to college with my sister and when I walked in the brewery with her, we all started talking. It was definitely one of those right place/right time sort of situations. It could never have been replicated in a million years. (we were at a brewery no where near where they went to college, or where either of them lived.)

[kaydee0402]

requiressnacks, had they planned to meet up there with mutual friends or was it just a random, bumping into each other type thing?

No it was totally random. They hadn't seen each other since college.

[kaydee0402]

requiressnacks, I love stories like that. It totally reinforces my belief in fate (yes, I know, it's corny)

[sdgal]

Great stories kaydee0402, and requiressnacks!

DH and I met on Match.com; story goes, he was just looking around, found my profile, recognized one of my friends in my photos as a childhood friend of one of his sisters. He then joined the site just to message me. Realized we went to the same high school just 3 years apart, and some of my friends knew his sisters.
Good thing we met the way we did, because as you know from my stocking story yesterday, had he learned my name first if we met in person, it would have been over before it even began.

[requiressnacks]

Love it, sdgal! Fate is real!

Had my 16 week appointment today. All good, heard the heartbeat. Anatomy scan is scheduled for the 29th! Announced on Facebook too.

DH and I met in high school. His brother was dating a friend of mine on the dance team.

[Lucy]

H and I met on Love@aol -- back when AOL was still a thing, and internet dating was still a taboo thing.

[emilie]

kaydee0402 that is a cute story. I think I would have shut any dude down for calling me "ma'am". Lol.

Jealous of you all who have a/s appointments soon. Mine isn't until the 2nd week of August. So far away!

H and I were co-workers when we met. Super exciting, I know

[WineNChocolate]

**Cracks Knuckles** here we go.

So I we used to live in VA last year and 5 years prior to that in the month of may.  I was at a opening horse race called Gold Cup. Its like Kentucky Derby everyone dresses up with dresses and hats and the guys where preppy stuff, anywho you get the idea. About 2 hours in, and one sheet to the wind, my gf says "hey have you seen the guy with the Map suit?" I said the what..she drags me to see this guy who is wearing a map of London. Like he has a suit that is made of a map. She asks me to take a picture so I say sure why not.  We say thanks and go back to our spot. 

About an hour later, 2 sheets to the wind, I get elected as one of the best dressed at the shin dig and what do you know so does map suit guy. WE END UP WINNING THE CONTEST, him for guys and me for girls.  So then we end up at the bathrooms waiting in line and I feel a shadow and turn and there is map suit man with a pop out chair that is like 4 times the size of a normal one..he opens it up behind me and says "Well might as well be comfortable before I go in the porta potty."  I smirk and think "weirdo" and turn around. He soon offers me a seat. I turn and laugh and decline. But he keeps talking and we start talking about wine fests and what not. I pee and we separate.

About 2 hours later, 4 sheets to the wind, I cranked it up last couple of hours. I am walking to my bus and get on to low and behold be sitting infront of map guy..he says to me "I never got your number to go wine tasting." I say "never offered it" he smiles and goes back  to his friends. Later on the ride he comes and sits next to me and says "Seriously I would like to take you out for a drink or dinner."  I don't really remember why but he gets my number. We end up getting off the bus and text back and forth randomly for weeks. He asks me to a HH, I played it off. I didn't really remember what he looked like and I really didn't remember a connection.  ANYWHO  I go to Europe for 3 weeks and come back and was bored and decide to text him "How about those Broncos?" He responds don't remember what. We do end up meeting up for HH and I can't remember what he looks like but then he happens to be the attractive man at the bar. We talk its really good,  I still don't feel a connection but we went on more dates and well I got hooked. He was a gentleman and well he didn't pressure me for like almost two months..I made the first move. NOT THAT I AM EASY. But he was definitely different from the others and that's all she wrote.

-6 months later moved in together

-1 year bought a house together

-1 year later engaged

-6 months married

-1 year later DD

[mrsp121308]

I'm so freaking over my summer classes it's unreal.

GTKY: We met in our high school algebra 1 class my freshman/his sophomore year. Other than a 6 month breakup period that first summer-fall, we've been together since then.

We're both from the South. Calling someone sir or ma'am isn't like calling someone old, it's just a sign of respect. I always address people as sir or ma'am, regardless of age.

requiressnacks --- (and I'm sorry, i forgot who else was having twins) but you need this shirt! www.motherhood.com/Product.asp?Product_Id=98720010011&MasterCategory_Id=MC2

DH and I met at our parents friends horse ranch.... our parents are friends, and we actually went to high school together but a year apart and hung out with different groups. My mom and I went for a drunken horse ride w/ him and his cousin and then his cousin invited me to go out w/ them that night... the rest is history! We had met in November, bought a house in April, got engaged in December and married the following November.... and here we are!

[Lucy]

My anatomy scan was bumped up from the 1st to the 28th. I'm excited even though we already know what we're having. It's with the perinatologist, so they're going to use the super fancy 3D/4D machine. Of course, just like always, I'm nervous something will be wrong as well.

[requiressnacks]

Bahahaaaaa! Love that hmr11913!

Just curious, is there a phase in pregnancy that turns you into a total biotch? I'd like to avoid that at all costs if possible, or at least know when it is so I can warn people.

3 times today I saw pregnant women railing on other people. First as I was checking in at my appointment some lady was going off because of where she was told to sit(one receptionist serves 2 office pods. She was pissed because one side had a decent amount of people and she was told to sit by herself and that offended her, even after explanation). Then this other lady was screaming, and I mean screaming super loud, at the blood draw guy because she thought she should have had 3 vials of blood and the gy only took 2(turns out she had 3 tests, but it only needed 2 vials and it took 2 managers to get her to calm down). Then, as I was signing up for my prenatal classes this other woman was being so horrid to the receptionist. She was clearly very near to being due and hadn't taken any classes and wanted the lady to bump someone from the full class for her. She was so mean. I just walked up when she was done and made sure to say please and thank you a lot.

I have definitely had a few days lately where I have felt super hormonal/PMS-like and mad at the world.  I try not to take it out on other people, though, and when it happens I just give H a gentle warning to give me some space.  I find the best way to deal is to just relax on the couch with some TV and some tea until it passes, or if you're at work, if you can, just find a quiet space away from your coworkers or close your office door if you have one.

[WineNChocolate]

crimpgirl, I will have to dig them up...and then upload them from my phone. I will find them though! Side Note: WOW with meeting the hubs on POF...I was always told to stay away from POF due to the underlining innuendo (I was told, never used it), like lets hook up..not interested in your good personality.  THATS awesome though that the took the challenge of driving an hour to climb with you.  You never know where that special someone might come from.  When I used to be single I would worry I missed that guy. Like you know some stranger bumps into you at the grocery store and he smiles you smile..there is a spark but you just don't say anything further. But he is just in your head...the one that got away.  I might watch waaay too many love movies..lol.

@cahistoryteacher, lol well lets just put it this way it comes and goes..but my experience was right at about 7 months and then it got really bad up to the day I had DD. I mean like I was snapping at DH and I had no patience. I had to apologize a lot after I cooled down! So maybe look for it around there...however its hormones so it could start whenever it wants to really. The worst is you do it and it take likes 20 mins to realize you might of been a horrible person.  You just see red lol.

[kaydee0402]

@cahistoryteacher, yep, all pregnancy. Hormones suck! I just tried to take it out on DH (who tended to roll his eyes at me and walk away) rather than innocent bystanders.

But mine didn't turn me into a total bitch as much as they did an emotional train wreck. I'm not a crier, I never cry at anything. Someone very near and dear has to die for me cry. During pregnancy, everything makes me sob. Baby commercials? Tears. Superbowl ads? Tears. The part in Braveheart where they had some battle and the horses died? Sobbing on the floor. Bitchy me DH can handle. Me sitting on floor crying and asking why they had to kill the horses? He was clueless.
