RANDOM STUFF!

[schnurette]

I saw all the posts with different ways of getting your post counts up and thought I would start a thread just for random thoughts. You know, the stuff that doesn't need it's own post, but doesn't really make sense as a response or contribution to any other post either.

[schnurette]

My bosses dog was whining to go out and against my better judgment (she is an escape artist and won't come in if she starts barking at the neighbor dogs) I let her out.

She immediately started barking at the neighbor dogs and I finally had to bundle up (it is -27) to go get her and bring her in. The spot in the fence where she stands to bark at the neighbors dogs is covered in frozen blood and tissue (she doesn't seem to be bleeding now so it is old).

Dog be crazy.

I think we should have a random/chat thread daily!

I just ordered a rug for the nursery. My mom ordered some Medela bottles that were on sale on Amazon this morning. We should not be allowed to have snow/cold days so I can stop shopping online!

I have a call in 10 minutes I'm not ready for... and I'm still here instead of prepping.

I would like to talk about clothes hangers for my baby's clothes, because it's random but it's important to me!

I am a firm believer in having matching clothes hangers. Well my mom was at TJ Maxx in Chicago last week and decided to buy these really cute pink huggable hangers with an elephant imprint on them, but she only bought 20. I told her this was a problem and now we have to find more because the baby's hangers have to match. My mom and I are now on a mission to find the rest of the hangers, because I can't get them online. We're going to have to go to every TJ Maxx and Homegoods in our own city until we have enough hangers!

Talk about problems yo!

It's starting to snow here already. (I made it back home just in time to beat it)12-24" by the end of Sunday, here we come.

I'm not into Mommy Wars. For example... I'm planning on breast feeding for as long as possible (my first goal is a year) and when it's time for real food baby led weaning. If you're planning to formula feed and go with purees, good for you. No hate here. Whatever works best for you and your family. I have ONE exemption from this rule. If you're not going to vaccinate your kids, stay away from mine. The amount of anti vax shit I see on my fb news feed spreading their googled random mommy blog research every day is fucking insane.

yes. absolutely. 100%.

I'm planning on staying in my jammies all day tomorrow. and letting DD watch as much TV as she wants. DH is at work ALL WEEKEND (he works at a boarding school, so has weekend duties every few weeks, and always has classes on Saturdays).  Now that I'm thinking about it, I should buy some junk food on my way home from work so that I can eat it after DD is asleep and before he comes home tomorrow night...

I'm getting so stupid and forgetful these days, I have to keep checking to make sure I let the dog back in the house. Because it's - 11. I've never forgotten her outside, but I am sure paranoid about it. I feel like an unfit mom. I can't even trust myself that I haven't frozen the dog to death, and I have a baby coming?

LOL.  I just like DD's hangers to be in cute colors like light pink, purple, and hot pink.  I just bought a bunch of bright blue hangers for this LO.  I think you are going to lose the battle with these TJ Maxx hangers, especially if they aren't cheap.  I think I have probably close to a hundred hangers for DD.  If you want matching pick a place where you go on a regular basis and can get more later if you need them.  For me Walmart has 10 kids hangers for a little over $1 and it is hard for me to justify paying much more than that.

I'm feeling very Blanche DuBois today ("I always depend on the kindness of strangers") because I had to have 2 people help me back out of a parking spot when the idiot parked behind me backed in so his front bumper stuck out too far for me to get out of my spot without hitting him.

My original plan was just to buy plastic kid's hangers at Target, until my mom bought these for me. Once I saw them I was like ZOMGGG SO CUTE!! I found other pink and purple huggable hangers (without the elephant imprint) online for pretty cheap, so I'm prepared to just mix it up. This baby has so much clothes already, I know there's no way I'm going to find the exact same hangers for her entire wardrobe. I  think as long as they're the same style and in the same color family, I can deal.

I just saw an article that Jason Biggs isn't going to be on Season 3 of Orange is the New Black. I know he is less significant now but I can't imagine the show without him, or any of the other original cast members for that matter.

Oh no, no Mendez either or Maritza.  But the good news is OITNB will be back in June, just in time for maternity leave.  Supposedly more violence and sex scenes too.

There is a new Will Smith movie coming out. When we were in New Orleans for our honeymoon they were filming there in the French Quarter. We unknowingly wandered onto and through the set one day when we were walking around and got to see a little bit of the filming. That's Will on the balcony.

[mrsmonogrammed]

Super impressed with myself, I got 4 baby girl outfits and 4 burp cloths from Kohls for $13!! DH will be less impressed because he thinks her closet already has enough stuff in it. Silly DH;)

My grandpa passed away on Monday night and I learned about it right after I had just hung up the phone from booking my flight to go visit him. It was 9:30ish at night. Ever since, every time I make a phone call or receive a phone call the time on my phone is way off and sometimes showing 11:20ish which is the time he passed (Mexico time). When I hang up, the time goes back to normal.

That's  just crazy!   Don't I recall you saying once that you were sensitive to spirits and such?

@jimbobcooter yes ma'am I'm a medium. Haven't been paying much attention since I lost my son last April but still have things happen and tune in here in there. I have never ever been able to communicate with anyone for myself when I've tried.

[mcp6286]

I got really mad today that there wasn't enough room for all my maternity clothes in my dresser and closet, so I pulled everything I wore pre-baby out and threw it on the floor. Then for the hell of it, I emptied my closet (which will be the baby's closet eventually) of all the purses, bags, shoes and accessories I own too. I got really sad about not being able to wear my cute summer clothes this year, and in a fit of pregnant-lady rage took more than half of my pre-baby wardrobe to Plato's Closet and sold it. Now I'm torn between wishing I'd kept it and being excited that I have almost $300 of completely disposable income on my hands lol

Well then I'm going to say there is something there then.  Sounds like he's still with you.

[redlipz]

@jimbobcooter I work with a few ladies that are intuitive as well and on Saturday when I was working with one of them I was telling her that I was going to leave to Mexico that next week and the reason why and she asked if I believed in reincarnation and I said he's and then she looked at my belly and said "you're having a boy right?" And then our clients came out of the treatment room.

We are team green but the baby I lost in April was a boy so idk if she's feeling that baby.

So much stuff has happened since last week till this day that I just KNOW he is here.

[billyhorrible]

We have clients whose last name is Wang. (I think that's common enough I'm not giving anything personal away) My boss just emailed me about them and the subject of the email was "Da Wangs."

So grateful for this random thread because you guys my sister (who is preggo) is the biggest, special-est snowflakiest snowflake of all. But she has no idea that she is. And she's driving me nuts.

Just needed to share that with likeminded people. Thank you.

[tiffbot]

GAH I am just so sad that this explosion of posts is happening while we are away! I can't even attempt to keep up right now. Sad. My post count is going to suck balls and no one is going to know who I an after missing all these GTKYs!! I will have to try to catch up more and hand out all the love tits later!

Oh oh! What does she do!? Tell me more. I miss some juicy SS stuff sometimes.

Haha!

Okay, example A) she had a total bloat bump for WEEKS AND WEEKS but she dressed herself in maternity clothes from like day 1... She pokes out her tummy, holds her back and her (bloaty) "bump" and talks about how huge her baby is... At 8 weeks she was doing this. I'm like, sistergirl, at 8 weeks every baby is the same size and it is NOT big enough to create the blump you are wagging around. You ate too much. That's what that belly is from. You would have looked he exact same 8 weeks ago, you just would have hidden it from the public eye under a flowy cardigan instead of flaunting it and patting it.

B) She "felt her baby move" at like freaking ten weeks or something. (Blrrhhuuxgsbwhebrj.)

C) one of her best friends works as an u/s tech and so she asked her to squeeze in a scan to reveal the "gender" of her baby at 15 weeks 5 days (because "that's close enough to 16 weeks, which is close enough to 18 weeks!") We had a snow storm so she couldn't make it to the appointment... Which part of me was genuinely disappointed about because I really wanted her to paint her nursery pink and then get the shock of a lifetime in late March when her actual doctor-appointed a/s is scheduled cause there's a tallywhacker there after all.

Oy vey. I could go on but hopefully you get the gist. She struggled to conceive for several years and so I feel like she's just saved up years worth of drama for these nine months and now she's gonna milk it. And she's not due til August... Idk how I'm gonna stay sane until then.

I totally need to AW!! The other day I was trying to stretch the backstrap of my bra a little. My expensive Victoria secret bra because it was getting tight and I had a back roll. Well I did it stronger then I thought and it fucking ripped!!! Omg I cried like a baby. Sooo today my wonderful DH takes me to Victoria secret and bought me the most amazing 50$ bra and the most comfortable underwear!!! 5 pairs for 30$. I am so spoiled right now. I love this man and I think he deserves a surprise bj! Tomorrow though because I am to tired tonight! Lol

So much agreement on this.  I am having a really hard time right now because my sister's SS is not vaccinated.  His mother is something else.  We see eachother a lot and the kids play great together, but with the baby coming I am a little worried.
She wants him to get vaccinated, but her and her H think the only way to make it happen is to go to court since they have joint custody.

Yeah and I'm a compulsive shopper anyway, so a lot of what was in there would have been passed on to my sisters by next summer anyway. Luckily DH is totally chill about my shopping addiction and just laughed when I told him.

That is so awesome! Most of the times I am stuck at thrift stores but he did let me buy a Victoria's Secret bra today and Victoria's Secret underwear!! That is huge for me!! Lol! You will have so much fun shopping for new clothes! Maybe once I get my body back he will let me splurge a little bit!

Edit cause words are hard
