Ok I read the thread and baby becole cheered me up a little. I'm heading to work to sign off on my grades, which I was late finishing and had to ask the scary nun for some more time. I'm just praying my reports are right when I get there. DNW to go to hell for messing up the nun's Christmas Break.

dogmama22 omg I'm so sorry about your night. MH tried to install a nest and found out it was incompatible. In the time he did that he also f'ed up our furnace. I was livid bc of course it was winter. Turns out he had blown a fuse. Sorry yours was a way more expensive fix

Re: stocking stuffers. I considered getting some of those candy cane M&M' to put in N's stocking. Then I remembered I still had hidden Halloween candy, so yeah she can have some of that in her stocking. I'll probably get a new toothbrush and toothpaste and maybe some socks. @mrscatfarmers all the t&ps for your dad, I'm looking forward to the fresh start of a new year too.

sstwinklinglites please feel free talk all the baby/pregnancy stuff here. I've been trying to keep up with bmb recently but it's been hard, I didn't have much of a connection with them early on. But now I'm trying to participate more. Maybe you can try and join in more towards end of pregnancy.

I just got back from having my second blood test taken. I had the same person who took my blood on Tuesday. When she did it then I didn't even feel a prick from the needle. This time, she missed my vein in my right arm then couldn't find it again, tried my left arm and missed again. She eventually broke out the cheater needle.
While I was in the waiting room there was a girl in there with her mom talking about her baby shower. This girl went on a 5 min rant about how she doesn't want junk gifts from the dollar tree and she would rather someone just give her cash because she doesn't want junk. DNW to be a guest at that shower.
mrscatfarmer13 still praying for your dad. I hope you have him for many more years.
dogmama22 that totally sounds like something that could happen in my house. My H tries really hard to be handy to save us money, but he's about 50/50 on whether projects go perfectly smooth or horribly wrong. Sorry for all the frustration.

lindsay, I have an appt with the OB at 8am tomorrow to go over stuff. I'm trying to think of a list of questions to ask for either outcome. Re:my dad. Yes he is pursuing treatment, he will start radiation 5x a week for 6 weeks on 1/3, and later in Jan he will start chemo which is just 1 pill that he will take everyday. Supposedly the chemo he's taking is supposed to have less intense side effects, so hopefully it won't be too rough for him.

I feel like everything over there is... boring? I dunno if that's the right word, but there's not much talk, and the majority of the girls seem to be PAIF / PGAL, so I feel like I also have to be very careful what I say. I'm just not really relating to anyone atm.

How does somebody miss a vein? Serious question, because it's never happened to me. I have very available veins though, so I guess it's just really easy on me. But it sounds like a painful process every time someone talks about it.
I would have been giving her all the bitch face. I dunno if some people are that... incredible... or if they really just doesn't hear themselves and don't see what they're saying /doing.

I have a feeling you're much more handy than he is.

That sounds really intense. How's his attitude about this whole thing? I feel like most cases I've had knowledge about, if the patient remains in good spirits and doesn't let their diagnosis get them down, they generally have better outcomes. I do think keeping faith / hope go a long way. I know it has to be so, so tough. I can't imagine going through that, or what family goes through. We're all here for you no matter what you need.

I feel you on this. I've been trying to avoid over there the past few days for my own reasons, but before that I haven't really been able to connect with anyone. This could me being insensitive, but I think BMB's should be treated with the same care you would give Parenting in regards to TW's something really horrific/bad put a TW up; talking about your other child, no TW. Maybe that's a UO?

Thanks. He has good and bad days, but overall he's in pretty good spirits. I was worried about him falling into depression for a while when he was in rehab, but since coming home he's generally much happier.

I agree. It isn't one of the loss boards, and I really don't think anyone there has made a comment on being treated some sort of way over losses, but because it seems the vast majority of the ladies are loss moms, I think it's just happening automatically.

If it wasn't for the fact that I had a great experience with her on Tuesday I would have been more upset. She felt terrible and kept apologizing, so she must just be having an off day.

I felt the same but it's really nice to have to complain about crap no one else wants to hear and also to compare where the babes are once they're born. Stick with it.

I have veins you can easily see on the surface but when they tried to get my IV in when I gave birth this time, it took 4 nurses and a busted vein to get it in. They almost had to call anesethia because my veins kept rolling away from the needle as they were sticking it in. I think it's because I had thrown up for two days and was dehydrated.

mominthemaking14 I don't have a pg pillow but I bought a soft plush body pillow from Costco a few weeks ago. $11.99, it's so soft and great for keeping you warm when it's cold.

My bmb doesn't do spoilers for talking about other children. We only had a few getting their first baby though. Most had losses or infertility but had another child. We had a loooot of losses too. Like 30% of the board. Just FYI.

sstwinklinglites, mrscatfarmer13 I get what you're saying. I feel like at this stage I don't have anything in common with the PGAL/PAIF moms because they're just experiencing different emotions over it, and also having different medical experiences with RE/MFM appointments and extra testing. Nobody has said or done anything to make me feel that I have to walk on eggshells, but I still am afraid of saying something insensitive without thinking. Also because I'm not especially thrilled to be pregnant. Like I wanted/planned this baby, but I fucking hate being pregnant. And I think it would be insensitive to complain about that to someone who tried a lot harder than I did to get KU. I'm hoping once we're in 2nd tri it will get better, once we're all more on the same page.

Hmm I need to get a damn membership
I got a large body pillow at Target for $9.99. Does the job.

Love Costco. I'm going today for granola bars. Doctors orders. At least that's the story I'm going with, but really I want a pack of Chocolate Chunk cookies.
