10. I am still in complete shock that my school got bounced out of the first round of the NCAA tournament as a three seed, in the first round. Sad panda.
I had the Bears going far in all of my picks, because it made sense, of course. My first thought after the game was "my fucking bracket" and my second thought was "aw. JimBob!"

We were all watching here and irritated at how badly they were playing but I seriously thought they were going to squeak it out there at the end. When that kid hit that 3 point shot from, what, outer space?!, we were just absolutely beyond stunned. I still feel like "WTF just happened?!" I had us falling out to Arizona tomorrow though so it wasn't hugely catastrophic to my bracket.
1. I have a problem with finishing an entire glass or bottle of something. It's like I'm afraid once I drink it, I'll want more and I won't have any more left. My bedroom nightstand is full of bottles of water with only about 1 sip left in each one. It looks like the movie Signs - the little girl in the movie did something similar.
2. I take a nap, or at least attempt to, pretty much every single day. I'm addicted to sleep.
3. My nieces from two different SILs are all pretty under disciplined. There were a lot of things their parents did that DH and I said we would do differently when we had kids - and we did. DD still has her moments, but I'm pretty proud of her manners and overall behavior, especially when we are with family and they are all going crazy.
4. As much as I want to try for a VBAC this time, and think I will be disappointed if I can't do one, I'm also sort of wanting another planned birth (CS) because it will make scheduling things sooooo much easier and help me to relax. We are not close to the hospital and not too close to family, so I'm freaking out about what will happen with DD if I all of the sudden go into labor and my water breaks. Scares the crap out of me.
5. I drink out of the carton of milk and OJ sometimes when I just want a sip of something and it drives DH crazy.
6. Sometimes I pretend not to know that DD pooped so I don't have to change her diaper.
7. My dad passed away when I was 14 due to complications following a long battle with Leukemia. His mother died from Leukemia when he was only 5. Because of this, I'm terrified of myself or my sisters being diagnosed as well. And just in general, I'm way more worried than the average person is, about losing a loved one. It's a crummy way to live, constantly thinking I'll lose someone close to me, just because I know that life doesn't always go the way you imagine.
8. As much as I can't picture having 3 kids, the thought of this maybe being my last pregnancy makes me so incredibly sad.
9. I'm on my phone way way wayyyyyy too much. It's terrible.
10. Sometimes I feel closer to my in laws than my own family. My family tends to complain to each other about each other, instead of actually telling the person that is upsetting us, because we don't want to hurt their feelings. DHs family is much more tell it to you like it is, and I love that about them.
1. I took a sick day today because my throat hurt yesterday. 2. But really I wanted a day to myself to do nothing and barely feel sick. 3. I slept 9 hours last night and took a 2 hour nap today so maybe I am a little sick. 4. I am fed up with random dry heaving. 5. Someone pointed out to me that I have 3 months left until my due date and it made me panic. 6. We've barely bought anything for LO because we've been handed down so much. He has enough clothes for the first six months of his life, at least. 7. My mom is retiring to be daycare next school year. 8. I'm grateful but worried that she'll just watch TV with him all day which is cool when he's tiny but not when he gets older. 9. I'm interviewing for new jobs starting next week for the new school year. I'm worried I won't get hired because I'm pregnant which I realize is illegal buuuut it doesn't stop it from happening. 10. I just want my BILs wedding to be over because he fiancé is, well, stupid. She can't make choices and is terrible at communicating and I'm not even in the wedding! I'm sick of hearing about it. They are young, which is fine - I got married when I was 22, but they are really immature. I don't know how they're going to make it.
1. I have lived in Missouri my whole life. I only went away for college (to Illinois) and then moved home. 2. I HATE bananas more than any other food. 3. I have a twin sister that I was not friends with until we both went away to college. 4. DH and I got engaged in Rome. 5. I was secretly upset with him when it happened because I didn't think he was going to do it eventhough it was the "perfect" spot. **clarification-we were at the top of the Spanish Steps talking and people watching and taking pictures for about a half hour and the whole time we were up there, I was thinking, "Man...this would be the perfect time for him to do this. He really should propose right now." and he didn't. We went to sit down and talk about the plans for the rest of the day and I was being super pouty. He suggested we get up and find somewhere to eat. He stood up after me and started pulling on my arm, when I turned around, he was down on one knee with the ring! 6. We have one dog, a beagle named Ace, who is awesome with DS and hope he is good with this LO also. 7. My first car was a baby blue Dodge minivan I had to share with my sister. 8. I ordered pizza an hour ago and it's still not here.... 9. I love anything Harry Potter related and can't wait to start reading them to DS. 10. I work at a podiatrist office and I silently judge people on the state of their feet when they come in.
8. I live in the Missouri and have my whole life. Only been to Colorado one time. I have always wanted to travel the world but getting knocked up at 16 and working my ass off to barely scrape by for years pretty much squashed that dream.
I don't think I knew you lived in Missouri. I am near St. Louis and also a lifer here

1. I had a growth ultrasound this afternoon and baby is 2.5lb and measuring right on track with my due date! 2. I got politely asked to leave my ballet class (aka kicked out) when I was 5 because I "just wasn't getting it". Basically, I was too hyperactive and hated it. My mom then put me in soccer so I could run around... and I played my whole life. 3. I secretly watched WWF and collected baseball cards when I was in grade school. 4. My 4 best friends are all from high school and we have a group text that we communicate in every. single. day. We live in 4 different states between the 5 of us! 5. I went to 3 different colleges. 6. DH and I are both huge sports fans, of different/rival cities (Chicago and Detroit). I'm very worried about the debates we will get in over who our son will cheer for. 7. I spend entirely too much time on this board and other pregnancy related stuff throughout my work day. 8. I love cookouts, bonfires and drinking beer. 4th of July, Memorial Day and Labor Day are amazing because of this. 9. I'm terrified I won't know won't contractions/labor feel like and I'll be sent home from the hospital 5x before the real thing. 10. This is way harder than I imagined.
1. I made engagement chicken (recipe from a magazine several years ago) for DH after we had been together for 4+ years. Apparently it worked because he proposed that very night!
2. Had my 28 week appointment today, and our little guy is right on track. He is measuring a week ahead and is in the 54th growth percentile. My placenta hasn't aged considerably since last time, and I am SO thankful for that.
3. I do not like mashed potatoes, yogurt, pudding... Anything with a super smooth consistency. I also do not like cream based soups or things that are really fatty- I live in the south. People are so confused when I explain this.
4. I am having lunch with a few of my girlfriends today!! I am hoping we can sit outside because it is 70 and sunny!
5. I am flying home to VT tomorrow. I am so looking forward to spending some time with my family (I haven't seen them since thanksgiving) but I am not looking forward to the 20 degree temps. Hopefully doing fun things like shopping for baby stuff with my mom, eating delicious food, and having my first baby shower will distract me
6. I have been ridiculously clingy with DH lately. He has been super sweet and is tolerating it. Haha
7. I am so excited and terrified at the same time when I think about bringing a baby into the world. I find myself sitting in his nursery frequently and thinking about what it will be like when he is here. DH and I are very financially stable, own a beautiful home, have great jobs, great family and friends, and I feel like are at the right age to become parents (he is 30, I am 28), but sometimes I just feel so scared. We planned this baby, and very much want him here, I am just hoping that when he finally gets here I will feel more ready.
8. I am a bossy, perfectionist, rather do it myself than see you do it wrong/not my way kind of person. I am always working on this with myself, but I really struggle with it.
9. I love summertime. 4th of July is by far my favorite holiday. I can't wait to celebrate it this year!
10. Part of me really thinks I will want to go back to work this fall, part of me really wants to stay home with our little man. Such a difficult decision!
Your life sounds wonderful. & you sound so happy everyone's entries are amazing. I'm thinking of joining in but I don't think I have anything remotely interesting to say.

pbubblegum just for you! ? (btw I call you Pink Bubblegum in my head even though you said you named yourself after the Princess in Adventure Time)
First of all, this was a FB group offshoot from TD, so it was full of SS. The general dynamic was quite crunchy, with a few very non-crunchies for variety. After the babies were born we had a weekly thread for the exclusive BFers to talk about cracked nipples, pumping, cluster feeding, etc. Apparently that thread really ticked off a FF mom who posted in an UO or FFF thread that she thought all the EBFers were sanctimonious bitches. Of course this pissed off the EBFers who really were the sanctimonious bitches and they hit back hard. (I was/am planning on being an EBFer, and was a regular participant in the thread, but am also #teamfeedthebabies). One thing led to another, and it got really ugly on both sides. A couple of the EBFers colluded together, and emailed the Firestarters boss about how awful she was. It was particularly bad because Firestarter was a councillor at a High school for troubled kids. It almost cost the girl her job.
This was about 18+ months after the group formed so it was time for a purging/shitstorm anyway. But in my niativity I was shocked (shocked!) that a group of women who had spent all this time together could be so awful to each other. I (along with probably about 50 other women) left the group over it. If I could GIF, I'd put the Nope Octopus right here.
tl;dr: some girls emailed another girls boss and almost got her fired.
1. I have a problem with finishing an entire glass or bottle of something. It's like I'm afraid once I drink it, I'll want more and I won't have any more left. My bedroom nightstand is full of bottles of water with only about 1 sip left in each one. It looks like the movie Signs - the little girl in the movie did something similar.
I'm the same way!!! As soon as my bottle is nearing the bottom I fill it up… it never, ever reaches empty. Thank you for making me feel less crazy.
1. I am stopping to get a cookie on my way home today, if the bakery is still open by the time I leave this doctor's office!
2. My husband and I are both teachers - he teaches college and I teach elementary. We spend lots of time together in the summer.
3. On that note, I'm finishing my fourth year of long-term substitute teaching and I'm considering applying for other jobs (even if it breaks my heart) because the pay is terrible.
4. I recently went to Chicago (for the first time) and nerded out at the American Girl store. I didn't get one until I was 12, and I was always so obsessed with them.
5. My oldest sister has 7 kids, my older brother (who I don't talk to) has three (plus one who passed away after 16 days), and my older sister has 2. My oldest niece has a daughter and my second-oldest niece is expecting, too.
6. I originally didn't want to go out with my H because our friend told me he had cystic fibrosis. Then I met him, didn't know who he was, and fell head over heels pretty much on the spot. Now I'm a volunteer, committee member, and advocate for the CF foundation here.
7. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh and I can't ever see myself living elsewhere. The amount of opportunities here for my child are staggering, not to mention, free babysitting (my sister, oldest nieces, and mom)!
8. I'm probably entirely too into sports. I'm already plotting when I can take baby girl to a Pirates game after her two month shots!
9. Baking soothes me. I usually pass off what I make to my students, H's students, or my coworkers, after eating a cookie or a slice of cake.
10. Nail polish will not stay on my nails. I invested in the Sally Hansen miracle gel system and one day later, I have two fingers with super noticeable chips. So much for 10-day wear!
1. DH and I are on our Babymoon right now, so here's what we've been up to! 2. Flew in San Fran and drove across the Golden Gate Bridge. 3. Drove up Hwy 1 and saw lots of California coast. 4. Drove the Avenue of the Giants and saw tons of Redwoods! 5. Made our way into Oregon and spent 2 nights in Portland. 6. Bought a doughnut from Voodoo Doughnuts. 7. Drove to Mt. St. Helens, a little too foggy and didn't see too much. 8. Drove to Seattle, took the ferry to Bainbridge Island. 9. Bought a cup of coffee from the original Starbucks, walked through Pikes Place market. 10. Visited the Space Needle and are going to take a tour of Boeing so DH can experience his inner nerd! We fly home tomorrow!

I was part of a FB group from a birth month board at WTE that had a complete meltdown when our babies were about 3 months old. The original group was shut down and 2 opposing groups were formed, with a bunch of us in both of them. It was truly ridiculous how much drama there was. I wound up deleting both of them because I really didn't need all the popcorn with a new baby to take care of. The group with less drama noticed I left and re-added me, but I only check the group page every few months for parenting tips. All in all, I found that most mommy facebook groups turn out to be pretty nutso.
tatersalad WTE is filled with the specialist of snowflakes. I hate the BMB, there's no sense of community there.
Amen. I only lasted a few weeks there this time before I heard someone mention that the Dump was filled with meanies and I hightailed it out of SS land.
1. I have been trying to write this post since 8:30 am but I keep getting busy at work and then refresh to read others' posts and it's been an ongoing cycle for the past several hours. (It is now 12:13) 2. I am so far behind at work since joining TCF (and constant pee breaks) 3. I hate talking on the phone unless it's my husband or Mother. I will ignore a call unless someone texts/leaves a voicemail. 4. I do most all of my own automotive work/maintenance myself. (Well, except now that I'm pg, I hardly do anything at all!) 5. When I go clothes shopping 9.5 times out of 10 I MUST go to the bathroom (not no. 1)This possibly should have went in a TMI thread. 6. I refuse to talk/debate politics. Period. 7. The night I met my husband for the first time we partied all night together and never left each other's side after that for the next 4 months. We were married a few months after that. That was in 2002. 8.I changed the word "other's" in the above #7 about 15 times because I have no idea the correct punctuation (and still don't) 9.My husband named the baby before we officially knew what the sex was, actually years ago he picked out a boy name and said he knew we were having a son. I had nothing to do with naming him. 10.I had and am still having my biggest "awwwww" moment of this pregnancy today: I wake up really early and sometimes I go back and lay down with DH before we both start getting ready for work. I always lay on his chest in his arms and I fell asleep like that for about an hour this morning. When I woke up Baby was curled up in a ball right where my stomach was touching him on my left side like he was snuggled up to his Daddy. It was the sweetest thing ever (done at 2:45pm-finally)

Here goes!
1. I love Algebra. I could do it for hours at a time just for fun.
2. I wish I could have a redo on my college degree/courses. I would take the same course load/degree again (civil engineering), but instead of being a funderachiever, I'd actually apply myself. It's one of my biggest regrets in life.
3. Having said #2, I still have no idea what I want to do when I grow up. I'll be 37 in 2 months.
4. Three foods that I couldn't live without are peanut butter (it must be crunchy!), avocado and cereal.
5. This morning my 4 year old ran into my room and yelled, "Mama, smell!", Smell what honey?? He replies "smell my butt!" and then we proceeded to wrestle with him trying to position his butt in front of my face and me trying to avoid it. WTH, I thought I had a few more years before farts became the funniest thing ever?
6. I would bake daily if it weren't for my shitty oven, my waistline, $$ and oh yeah, having to clean up after all of it.
7. I have seen every episode of NCIS (the original) at least once. I still hope Ziva/Cote de Pablo will return and she and DiNozzo/Michael Weatherly will live happily ever after, even though it's now been two seasons since she left.
8. Twizzlers are kryptonite to me. I can not say no.
9. There were no A&A swaddle blankets at my TJ Maxx this afternoon, only lollypop brand (which is also summer infant). there was ONE A&A sleep sack, but it was 12-18mo size, and given the expected growth trajectory of this babe, he'll be in that size next winter when we'll need fleece not lightweight anything. I was bummed.
10. I recently started binge watching Seaquest DSV on Netflix. I'm such a nerd.
1. I have had this thread open for about three hours solid.. Between watching some TV and texting SO whilst he works. It has been an enjoyable read
2. I am deaf in both ears due to having meningitis & septicima as a toddler. I have no memory of my hearing self. My clearest memory is playing in the Wendy house at the hospital & seeing my gran, she's talking to me and I'm wondering why I can't hear her.. It doesn't bother me as I wear hearing aids. Only now do I worry that I won't be able to hear LO and attend to his needs. I was also born at 28 weeks & I had a shortened tendon in my left leg which made my walking impaired. It was only corrected due to surgery when I was 16.. You can't notice it unless you look for it.
3. I had a ''tough'' upbringing. Lots of alcohol, drug abuse and domestic violence was witnessed as a young child. It left me scarred mentally, in need of a shrink and with depression issues. I am also majorly insecure, suffererd from body image issues. I still don't feel pretty enough ever.. I would say I'm managing now & SO helps me through tough days. I'm proud to say I no longer use antidepressants, there are some days I feel I still need them though. I have a strained relationship with my mother. Well I find it hard to tolerate her. I was bullied a lot for my issues growing up.
4. I only recently got my drivers licence. I like to think I'm a nice, kind driver.
5. SO & I's anniversary is 2nd of June. It's 2 years this year. LO's due date is the 4th of June & my birthday is the 6th. I never imagined I'd either be heavily pregnant, in labour or a new mother on my 21st birthday. I'm excited though.
6. I still have no idea what I want to do career wise..
7. I like to lurk and read everything on this board.
8. I'm running out of things to say now.. I'm not very interesting.
9. I get very lonely and sometimes it's awful.. Usually when I have nothing to distract me. Sometimes my paranoid screwed up mind thinks ''what if SO isn't babies father...'' When he without a doubt is as I haven't slept with anyone else. It's just my stupid brain and thoughts going daft again. I have to lay off of talk shows. Jeremy Kyle is a bad influence.
10. My list is so boring compared to everyone else's. I'm currently in SO's families house and I have to get home so I can watch One Born Every Minuet. It's a show about child birth.
Edited cause I'm now a member YAY! Also, 30 weeks tomorrow.. *__* ohmygosh
7. I have seen every episode of NCIS (the original) at least once. I still hope Ziva/Cote de Pablo will return and she and DiNozzo/Michael Weatherly will live happily ever after, even though it's now been two seasons since she left.
8. Twizzlers are kryptonite to me. I can not say no.
I am 100% right with you on the Ziva/DiNozzo pairing. I await her return each season I don't too much care for Bishop. She's not "bad" like Ziva. I will make myself sick eating twizzlers. I love them!
1. I live in the Pacific Northwest and we had like 2 weeks of winter and skipped to spring. I have lived here my whole life and LOVE snow. I'm jealous of you back east who are getting it.
2. I love bedrest because I don't have to be at work but I really want to get up and clean and go out of the house. Plus my mom has to babysit me to help with DD and she's starting to drive me nuts just because she's here all the time. I also feel guilty because we are using our tax refund to make up for my lack of income.
3. I love cloth diapers and am addicted to buying both girls best bottoms brand.
4. DH is lazy and it drives me nuts. He works 40 hours and week + overtime and is in school full time online and has to take care of DD when he's home so I can't blame him for being lazy but man I just want him to do the cleaning that I want to do lol.
5. I'm glad this is my last pregnancy because I don't think my marriage would survive another one. My hormones are off the charts crazy and I get unreasonable expectations and no patience when pregnant. I also get really mean. The worst part is I know it and just can't seem to stop myself. It's not just DH who is the subject of my wrath and unreasonably either. My mom washed DD's cloth diapers and old newborn clothes and rearranged the girl's closet so they all fit and I walked in and got angry because it wasn't how I would have done it...bitchy me couldn't just be grateful. She didn't know it I just told her thank you and we gushed over the cute little outfits that we loved DD1 in and can't wait to see DD2 in. It's killing me to sit here and not go in and rearrange it all the way I want lol.
6. I have ADD bad and miss my meds. It's not life effecting enough to stay on my meds while pregnant but I miss the control it brings.
7. I want to be a clean freak but for some reason I can't keep our house clean to save my life even when I'm not pregnant.
8. Our house has no pictures because money is always being spent on something other then picture frames which for some reason are expensive.
9. I have no idea what I want to do career wise. I know it's not healthcare. I work in a call center and I'm getting bored with it. I never graduated college with a degree because I always changed my mind on what I wanted to major in. I really want to be a SAHM but financially it's not possible and it makes DH sad because he knows I want to even though I tell him it's ok.
10. When DD giggles it's the best sound in the world. I spend most of my time when not thinking about this baby worrying about DD and her life. She's delayed and had a lot of health issues. I just want her to be happy and taken care of. I worry she will be tormented and made fun off because she is delayed and she is very trusting. I don't want her to get taken advantage of. I also worry that DD2 will have the same or worse health issues. Hence the reason we are done having babies and I'm getting my tubes tied. The genetic risk of having more kids that are so effected by the syndrome is just more risk plus I'm a horrible gestation-er and having another one could really hurt me or even kill me.

1. We are going to IKEA this weekend and I am irrationally excited for Swedish meatballs and a cinnamon roll.
2. I did Invisalign a few years ago and I'm so happy with the results, I smile much more now.
3. I have loved my son since he was born (he just turned 5) but in the last few months I actually really enjoy spending time with him, it feels less like work and more like fun now.
4. Today at work I was handed a "creamsicle float" (vanilla ice cream with orange soda) and I sucked it right down; normally I turn down sweets like that.
5. I wear hearing aids because I had surgery almost 2 years ago to remove a tumor from my auditory nerve and I have severe hearing loss on that side. The surgery recovery was awful (8 hour brain surgery, essentially) and I'm so afraid it will come back and I'll have to do it again. I had to postpone a follow up MRI because I found out I was pregnant.
6. Cadbury Mini Eggs are likely the source of at least a pound of the weight I've gained so far.
7. The snow is finally starting to melt in MA and I have serious Spring fever.
8. I'm a nurse practitioner, and I kind of regret that I didn't go to pharmacy school instead, I think it might have been a better fit even though I like my job.
9. I can bend my thumb back at a 90 degree angle and didn't know everyone couldn't do this until my husband was horrified when he saw this.
10. I'm considering deleting the FB app on my phone because I feel a little too obsessed with checking it during the day.
After reading others, I'm thinking these are all random... so here it goes:
1. H and I just bought a house! We had the inspection last week and the seller is fixing nearly all of the things we requested - closing is set for May 1st!
2. I really want mexican food, again, and i'm currently all alone for dinner... with no mexican type food to eat!
3. I "worked" from home today, but I couldn't remote in - all I could get to work was my email, so I caught up on here a bit, and took a nap after checking email....
4. My DD was born on Friday the 13th.
5. I've been watching food network most of the day and I want to EAT ALL THE FOOD!!
6. I was born in NJ and lived there until I was almost 7, yet I still consider myself a Minnesotan since I lived most of my life here.
7. I moved to VA for a job basically telling my BF (now H) I was going... we had been dating long distance for about 4 years already. He didn't love the idea, and was not sure about that far of a relationship... but he followed me to VA after he graduated. We got married 3 years later (in MN) and have now been together for 14 years next month.
8. the only real "vacation" H and I have ever gone on together is our Honeymoon. We've done weekend trips here and there, but not full vacations. It makes me sad.
9. I'm named after my maternal grandmother.
10. I am starting to be done with this pregnancy. I'm ready to meet my LO, but know that baby needs to bake a bit more...
8. I live in the Missouri and have my whole life. Only been to Colorado one time. I have always wanted to travel the world but getting knocked up at 16 and working my ass off to barely scrape by for years pretty much squashed that dream.
I don't think I knew you lived in Missouri. I am near St. Louis and also a lifer here
trixi282 I was born on Friday the 13th also. I don't tell many people this but I was also born in room 666 T (tower ) at Georgia Baptist in Atlanta. My Mother did not even know/realize this until I found my birth card years later with my hospital docs she saved in a safe.
erbear my husband is a Development Director for the CF Foundation's Delaware Valley chapter! It's such a great organization!
Here's mine: 1. When I was 10, my piano teacher one day just stopped showing up or returning my mom's calls. 2 months later, she called just to ask Mom to stop calling her. She said she had tried her best to teach me and just couldn't take it anymore cuz I was so terrible at it. 2. After that, I convinced Mom that I should pursue sports rather than the arts and started figure skating competitively. I kept competing and eventually coaching through college. 3. I'm the oldest of 5 kids - 2 younger brothers and 2 younger sisters - and we were all homeschooled. 4. I'm addicted to shopping and like a couple others here, have spent hundreds of dollars on maternity clothes after swearing not to do that. 5. If DH would go for it, I'd eat only Indian, Thai and pasta for the rest of our lives. I find all other cuisines pointless. 6. My BFF and I have known each other literally our whole lives and are weirdly attached to one another. 7. I've watched every season of Friends more times than I can count. 8. I am one of those annoying ppl who corrects others' grammar. I CAN'T let it go! English teacher...sorry not sorry. 9. DH and I are moving in May, and this will be our 5th move in 7 years of marriage...and all 5 within the same 2 states. 10. DH and I usually take 3 or 4 vacations a year and are really sad to not be going anywhere fun this year, despite being super excited about our little girl's arrival!
