Election Day randoms

Happy voting for all those that haven't yet!

Our plan to get to the polls early was a big fat fail. Margs was up from 130-4, is still currently asleep (its 630) and Clara is already awake. I'm afraid to wake Margs, but this show has got to get on the road if we are all going to vote together...

I'm off today. I have a haircut this afternoon so I'm going to vote on my way out. Hoping to get dd's bday invites made today!

Iz and I are going to walk to the polls after her first nap. I'm hoping there will be a mid morning lull and it won't take too long. We have a broker coming to look at the house this afternoon.

My address change never went through so I have to drive an hour out to my old stomping grounds to vote after work. I'm very cranky about it.

Getting ready to walk into a PD then parent conferences all afternoon. Hopefully today isn't too much of a slog.

[obscurereference]

I'm so glad I already voted. I'm in a swing state and going to the polls today sounds horrible. I hope everything goes smoothly and safely today.

[HelgaHuffle]

I just checked 538 and things look a lot better today!

[geners]

My stomach is off today. Not sure if it's election nerves or what. Just need this day over!

Who on here uses ThredUp for shopping or selling/donating clothes? I think I read about it on here? I'm hooked. I just shipped off my third huge bag of clothes, freeing up so much storage/closet space for things we'll never wear again. I bought a like-new Coach wallet for $0.47 from what I earned from my first bag. Love it!

I've only ever bought from thredup. Never sold anything to them. That's where almost my entire maternity wardrobe came from. It's super awesome. I should try to find some cheap work clothes on there.

geners , I've only donated.

Well, we were lucky and got to the polls with minimal lineage! Everyone seemingly had brought their kids with them to vote. You guys, I was getting choked up. It is going to be a historic day!

I brought Margs to school after and for the FIRST TIME EVER, she cried when I handed her over to the teacher. Maybe she isn't feeling great

Apparently there's a polling place right across from DD1's school. Zero Hillary signs. This state is so close.

[geners]

Omg, my coworker that's on maternity leave just stopped in with her six week old DD. She is still in that sleep all day phase, and was wearing the most adorable outfit. My uterus is having palpitations.

My mom just called to tell me my grandma voted today. This is the first time she's voted since Nixon. She voted for Trump. She's a Fox News junkie, so not surprising. Still broke my heart a little.

Nixon and Trump. Obviously she has awesome taste.

[COCO]

I've been pacing around the house for an hour. I've teared up looking at my daughter and thinking about her future three or four times already. Definitely a case of nerves... I hope this election is not close.

Hello again! I've been hanging in the WestWord and This is Us threads lately because I'm obsessed with both shows. I will be voting after work today. I realized today that I've always done absentee ballots for presidential elections so I've never dealt with long lines. I am really hoping the lines aren't long because I plan to vote before picking up the littles from DC.

[expatmama11]

Cam took his first steps today on his own!! I can't believe he will turn one on Friday.

We had a wonderful time in South Africa. Cam was really good and we had no major meltdowns until our return flight. Holy shit, it was bad. Wouldn't sit at all, flailing arms, crying. It went on forever and it was Absolutely awful! He finally crashed after we landed, of course. Luckily he slept until 715 this morning and then took great naps so it made up for it.

Will be waking up in the middle of the night to check out the election coverage. So ready for all of this to be over! I can avoid a lot bc I don't get the commercials but my brain is still fried.

[inthewoods]

My husband drove past our polling place and saw long lines. He sent me out to vote early before my haircut. I guess he saw the lunch rush because I was in and out in 10 minutes. Feel horrible for me because I am now drinking an iced coffee and took a walk while I kill some time.

I'm still completely shocked that no one is pregnant yet. I'm choosing to believe that someone who doesn't post anymore is pregnant. Are we actually going to get to December with no BFP announcement?!

Right?! I keep thinking it's got to be coming soon. It won't be me, that's for sure, but I want it to be someone!!

I should have taken her to the hospital for her blood test, the lab up the street absolutely butchered it.
She was hysterical but at least it's over now.

Mama needs a drink

Ugh, the worst

Ditto, I was thinking this earlier today.

[HelgaHuffle]

I think I'm going to puke.

We plan to start trying next month. I'll do my best if my body ever decides to have a period again. Kicked my birth control three weeks ago and no sign of it yet.

That made me laugh lol. I needed that, thanks.

[byjove]

I'm heading to bed. Hoping to wake up to good news!

[COCO]

I am stunned. I can't believe what I'm watching.

We'll start as soon as my period returns but it is likely we'll end up back at the RE. We're only going to try for 3 months before going back if nothing happens.

Funny story; my period totally showed up this morning.

Time to go buy a new BBT (mine has been used on E's bum a few times, I'd prefer for it not to go back in my mouth) and jump on the charting bandwagon again next week. At least now I have a legitimate time frame for us. And also when I need to lose a few more pounds by. I REFUSE to start another pregnancy as heavy as I did with E and I'm currently hoovering right around my pre pregnancy weight.
