I want a doughnut sooo bad

[jacks15]

I hate going off the pill because I am a crazy paranoid person running to the bathroom every time I feel a little crampy.

@ceci8876 Sending you some good universe vibes. ETA and a doughnut

[amch8]

Thanks for all the well wishes today ladies! The procedure was uncomfortable and I'm currently crampy, but H is giving me the night off and I ordered sushi so everything's coming up me!

It's been confirmed that I have a unicornuate uterus with a rudimentary horn. Concerns are implantation in the horn (which would behave like an ectopic) and premature labor, but pregnancy is not contraindicated. As soon as I get a positive pregnancy test I need an immediate U/S to confirm safe placement of the implanted egg. Then, I'll have increased monitoring after 18 weeks to confirm my cervix stays shut. Also only one ovary connects to the uterus so I'm only fertile every other cycle.

Anyway, not great news, but it's news we expected and it's definitely not bad news. Glad to be able to move forward!

Help me decide what to do for women's day tomorrow. The march in our city is at the same time as my barre class. Do I go to the march or support a female small business owner?

Pay for it class, go to the march.

Mmmmm sushi

[kristhegirl]

Okay, who wants to come be surrogate dad for Elena? Because he carries her around 110% of the time and mom does not play that game, but I get the fallout when he's gone.

[Tgrrl]

I've been reading in sections throughout the day and I know there were people I was going to respond to and now I can't remember who and if I attempted to go back and read I'd never have to respond. So...if you need support/love/hair pats you got 'em.

[Tgrrl]

H made this big crock pot of chicken chili last week and he eats it multiple times a day. The smell makes me want to vomit. He knows this, but thinks I'm "over reacting".....I'm about to punch him in the balls and tell him "I don't know what your problem is, why do you over react so much"

Are you still going to work? I can't miss work unfortunately but I plan to wear red and donate to planned parenthood again

Carolina and Jersey.  Duh. You must keep with the place theme!

You could tell people one was conceived in Myrtle Beach and the other one on the Jersey shore!

[wells2010]

Tgrrl my H made "ham bone soup" like three weeks ago and it's still in the fridge and smells. I can't touch it. I also can't look in the fridge without at least dry heaving. I told him to throw it out because I can't. I literally told him that I didn't care about anything else he gets done around the house today and that I just need him to take care of this one thing. He did a lot of things today, but the damn soup is still there!

My husband was actually hung up on "Fletch" for several weeks. Please send me all the patient vibes.

Also, lawandorder, Charlotte is a city, so it works 😉

Also. My underarm jiggle is out of control. Does anyone have any workouts/ideas? I want to do literally as little work as possible. Thanks. I do have a shakeweight I think.

I like to play with mine.

Lolz

[mrsklm09]

forevermorgan sending hugs and prayers that the "anything" is much less serious than what you mentioned. I hope you can get answers soon since the waiting is sometimes worse than the diagnosis.
amch8 I'm glad to hear that you will be able to get pregnant again, even if it may be more challenging.
AFM, DH is traveling all week and I'm slipping in a little TFC while the girls play (nicely) before bed. I've been all over the place lately but things are finally quieter for now. I'm sure it won't last!

[wells2010]

umm that's adorable @amc25. Hailey has been a nightmare too. I should probably stick my finger in her mouth to see if her 2 year molars are working their way in. I'm afraid she will bite me though (she thinks it's funny).

[catladymeow]

You guys.... There were 18 offers on that condo! It went for 211k over asking. This market suuuuuucks.

[ncjulia12]

@ceci8876, I'm there with you. It's a roller coaster for me. I'll have a day, or a series of days where I feel really good about things- even when they are still a hot mess- and then things go off the rails again and I feel stressed/frustrated/overwhelmed again. I try to relish the high points and coast through the low ones.

Hugs, forevermorgan. Hope you get some positive news soon.

Yay, @katechristine18!!

Hope your day improved, @feegan!

Glad you got some answers, amch8. Hope your TTC journey goes as smoothly as possible!

We also are having a rough time buying a new house but this. This is insane. LCOL areas have never looked so good. Let me tell ya.

move to MD! I'm a mile from the MARC train... 45 min to Union Station. Free parking at the train station!

Welp - L fell off the big slide today, so that was terrifying. I keep replaying it in my mind and it's awful. It's a curvy one, and halfway down the curve she hit it funny, flew over the side, and landed face first (and mouth full) of mulch and dirt. She cried hard at first, and then wanted me to put her back on the slide and hold her hands down. And continued to play like it was no big thang. But her face is all scratched up and I feel like the worst.

I hope she's ok. No vomiting, she calmed down, didn't seem to be off balance or anything. Just sheesh - face first 3 feet into mulch and dirt.

Wait what?! My brain does not compute.

Seriously lady you could be a billionaire if you lived where I do. Like E could have her own pool house in the backyard. On the down side you'd have no health insurance but you win some lose some.

[ashiscute]

Oh no @officedronette that is so scary. I still replay DD falling down our stairs 4.5 years ago all the time. It sucks. Way more for you than L. I'm glad she's feeling okay.

[lovemyirishtwins]

Hugs forevermorgan. I hope you get positive news.

[lovemyirishtwins]

@officedronette falls are the worst and so scary. I hope L is okay.

Oh man. The worst. DS did a header off the rolly slide once. Mouth full of that rubber stuff.

I can't like this, but this makes me feel better. I know it happens to lots of kids, I just felt horrible and helpless watching her fall. I don't want to be that hovery parent that doesn't let her take any risks, I just wish it didn't involve so much splatting. :/

Get ready to be upset with me.
When I first heard of the Women's strike in the country I can't remember, I thought "wow good for them".
Now I find my feelings to be very mixed. I find these kind of things to be an exercise of luxury. A stand taken by women who can afford to use a personal or sick day, or even take a day without pay. Women who don't seem to have all that much to lose, both in terms of the circumstances leading to the protest and by protesting. Yet I hear many middle class women offering a variety of excuses as to why they can't take the day off (inconvenient, etc). I don't know if Ms. Quality Mgr, Ms. Litigator or Dr. Lady would be missed as much. But you let teachers, DMV workers, fast food workers and cleaning staff not show up....that's when folks might start to say "uh oh"
The women who seem to be most oppressed and who should really be protesting, REALLY can't afford to take the day off. Fear of losing a low wage job or just not being paid, make this "stand" a luxury. Where are the financially secure women who are offering to cover the day's pay of the fast food or hospitality worker? To me that's real solidarity. There is a school district in Maryland that is closing tomorrow due to the number of teachers requesting time off. This creates a cascade right? Teachers stay home then moms have to stay home...that could be powerful.
We shall see.
The wearing red thing.....chile please. The senators/congresswomen who wore white at the joint session... symbolic and useless in my opinion.
Maybe we need highly coordinated sit ins, phone drives and letter campaigns to CEOs and elected officials. Maybe we need a "bring your toddler to work day cuz daycare is too fucking exoensive" day.
I just don't feel moved by a wear red day.
I love y'all.

Ella chomped down of my finger so hard yesterday I was almost in tears. And no we teeth to even show for it.

[mrsklm09]

@officedronette those things end up being so much harder on us than them, but that doesn't change much about how we feel. Good for her for being so brave to go back though! Be easy on yourself. Hugs!
