I kinda avoided the board for the last week because I had a nightmare I miscarried and right before my u/s. Then on Tuesday when I had my u/s and the stupid doctor couldn't find my baby I had a breakdown. He sent me over to the hospital where they did blood test and a better ultrasound and the tech found it in seconds. I cried harder. I probably could've shared that but I felt ridiculous getting so scared. Sorry guise.

Oh and screw Dr.s who give you what can be devastating news and not even for a second try to reassure you, just had me lab orders.

That is so horrible. I am so glad everything is fine.

Dreams can seriously mess with your head.

[spazzz333]

Why can I think of fffc on any other day of the week and never on Friday.

Not ridiculous at all!  That would have been really scary.

FFFC: DH thinks I've been going to spin class at the gym at work twice a week since September. I've been a total of 5 times. I really need to get off my ass soon, or I'm not going to be able to move come 3rd tri.

Also, I'm "working from home" with a sick DD today and now that she's down for a nap I really could be working.  But I'm here instead.

FFFC: All the knowledge I've gotten from these forums has made me cocky. I needed to remind myself at the Dr. office this morning that I did not go to medical school and that they know more than me.

ZOMG, yes. Dh needles me about this all the time. He says, "Let your doctor be your doctor." And I'm all, "But I knooooow what I neeeed."

[indseylay]

Not sure how flammable this is, but M2 (20m) is ready to pt and I just don't want to. He already uses it a few times a day, I am just too tired to deal with cleaning up all the potential accidents.

Other FFFC: I've applied on a new position within my company and I'm so anxious to wait about it. It's my dreams job (well one step below my dream job) and the boss is very very cool.

Will I be the worst person ever to take the position (if I can) only to say "IM PREGNANT" in a couple of weeks?

Hells to the no. You have plenty of time to get settled into your new job before you have to take maternity. TAKE IIIIITTTTTTT.

Seriously. Get it, girl!

Another FFFC: I've been trying to find the old wives tail about how your baby sits in your ute determine the sex of the baby.

Is that a thing? I think I'm just going crazy.

I work from home on Wednesdays, and I always use DD's naps to go online or watch TV.

It's still early in the game and the board is still new. They get juicier as time goes by.

Ya. And all the lurkers who don't post until after first tri have yet to show up. My guess is we have plenty of crazy coming our way, in due time.

I didn't even think about that. I kinda figured everyone who would be here, is here already. Dang!

We won't have as many people join after first tri because we're not a site you would search for and join. Unless they go back in the post history on The Dump they won't know we exist.

With my last BmB there were so many de lurkers. And then there's another influx after all the babies are born.

I don't think it's ridiculous. I'm glad you got some better news even though you had to go through that.

My FFFC: I occasionally use a backpack leash with my 18 month old. I still get embarrassed because I imagine people judge, but he has been a runner since he was 11 months old. It helps me to be less stressed out in crowded situations like on Halloween, or city festivals.

Yes, I could pop him in the stroller but he loves to explore and he is happier walking on his own. We work on staying by Mommy and holding hands at the park but he just isn't quite there yet all the time.

I've been tempted to buy one for situations you describe but I can't pull the trigger. I fear the side-eyes. (I'd never give one, however. #dowhatyagottado)

I will be buying one this summer for my will be three year old. I will be walking home from work every day, and the last part is a really steep hill. I don't want to push his weight in a stroller, with a huge belly and summer heat. I'll feel more safe with him in a leash, so that's what will happen. Side eyes be dammed.

I know food FFFC's are boring but fuckit.

FFFC: I stopped at McDonald's for ice cream on my way home from work three times this week. I only worked three days...

I stopped by McDonald's after work yesterday. I get off at 11 pm.

[andied]

I'm secretly a little bummed my H is coming back from traveling tmrw. Don't get me wrong, I've missed him and all. I'm totally dreading the judgement I'll get for the two weeks worth of laundry I need to fold.

Also it's going to make it harder on the girls bc he leaves out Sun morning for another two weeks. Maybe I can just hide all the clothes?

My FFFC is that I love bed-sharing with Evelyn. DH gets frustrated when she insists on falling asleep in our bed, and that she always migrates from her bed into ours. I just love the snuggle time.

I miss co-sleeping so much! Excited to have another one to have snuggled up at night now that DD is in her own room

My confession is that I stupidly responded to a thread on the bump and now feel fucking pissed at the level of idiocy there. Since when does responding to someone's sensible if snarky advice with "I feel sorry for your baby..." make you the bigger person. Christ on a cracker that is some oblivious douchbaggery.

ETA: the letter "r" in "your"

I saw that! The remnant there is about 90% crazy and/or incredibly dumb.

I got pregnant while on WCB (back injury) and had a meeting today about my return to work plan, where they flamed me for driving to 2 hours away to visit my mom in hospital, because "I was told not to sit for long periods". I am now trying to figure out how to quit my job before telling them I'm pregnant because I know I'm going to get flamed for "participating in activities I shouldn't have". I spent 4 years in University to become a RN and I never want to do nursing work again.

I know this isn't really a FFFC, but I've been sitting on my couch crying about how this meeting went since I got home 4 hours ago.

My MIL swears that the 'hairline theory' is real. To her credit, everyone of her kids and grand kids all 'prove' it.

Look at the back of a previous childs neck, at the hair line. Is it straight across or pointed? Straight across indicates the next child will be a girl and a point indicates a boy. May not be accurate in the case of a loss in between children, but this is just a silly theory anyway.

*hugs* I'm sorry you're feeling down. Wine?

My SIL is a RN and was completely burnt out after a couple of year in the hospital setting. She has now the best job ever as she is the nurse that goes to the house of mother who just had their babies.

I'm a high school teacher - 100% empathize with this statement.
