My random is that I am REALLY glad that my mom lives far away from me, tbh. To try and simplify the long, complicated story: her current husband sexually assaulted my younger sister and did jail time for it. My mom kicked my sister out of the house for her "lies," then went back to her spouse, and the two of them have since joined an extremely strict religious cult that they are constantly pestering us to repent and join, and it's worse now that I'm pregnant. Do I want my mother and her spouse around my child? No. Possibly never. But this is her first grandchild, and she really REALLY is getting in my business (she has to be in control of everything), and everything is just SO so complicated. Fortunately (I guess), there is only a tiny chance of her randomly showing up in town because she has arthritis really bad, and she doesn't do long car trips anymore.
Anyway I got to thinking about this because people are talking about their baby showers, and I was thinking, "thank God my mom isn't near me to try and throw me a baby shower." I have two great co-workers that told me they were going to collaborate to give me a baby shower, and I am so extremely thankful to them
T+P's to you all who are going through a tough time. I wish I could do more, but I will be thinking of y'all.
Why are some Mods 5 blue starts and some 5 green? (sorry for all the questions)
Global mods are blue, board mods are green. Admin have red stars. Gmods (we have 18) have mod capabilities for the entire forum and are responsible for multiple boards. Board mods (we have 43) are responsible for their specific board.

ask an obvious question, get an obvious answer. It's too bad I hate him or I'd be more likely to play with and train him.
My dog only whines when she wants attention or needs to go outside.
Those of you that have purchased from Pink Blush Maternity: How was the sizing, how fast was the shipping, and do you have any experience with their returns? There are a few dresses that I'm eyeing but my dress size is really weird because I have huge boobs. The dress needs to fit my boobs and not look like a potato sack everywhere else. Thanks!
Sorry to be a downer but I've had a rough few days. We had a mc this summer, and baby's due date is in 2 days. I've gone back and forth between wanting to distract myself and not think about it, and wanting to just lay in bed crying and thinking about her. It's so hard knowing I could have already met her and held her and told her I love her. And it feels like people around me expect it to be easier because I'm pregnant, and it just doesn't work that way
I'm so sorry @liamd I don't have much to add to what other pp's have said, but I hope you are able to take the time to grieve and process the way you need to!
Oh forgot to post my random, ok not sure if anyone else plays Trivia Crack but I'm so addicted to that game right now! Any other fun phone games people like to play?
DLing this now! It's pretty old now, but have you tried QuizUp?

So sorry to hear about what both what you and your sister went through It's so difficult to know the best way to distance yourself from family in those situations.

No I have never heard of it. Have to check it out!
I haven't read the thread yet, but my kids are resisting their naps and I want to try and get this in now because it's easier to read on mobile when they're up than type.
Both my kids were up a zillion times last night with their colds/ear infection, so I let DD1 sleep in late in the morning and be late to school. DD2 has been intensely cranky, the skin under her nose is chafed from wiping so she won't let me, and I had zero time to get her dressed, AND I forgot the diaper bag (with the wipes) as I ran out of the house and remembered I had nothing for dinner, so I had to go to the market.
So I had my cranky toddler with me at the supermarket at 11:00, eating a cookie/crying in her pajamas with dried snot and crumbs caked all over her face, and if anyone was judging me I kindly invite them to eat a bag of novelty bachelorette party candies.
Now I'm going to try my hardest to get that poor baby to sleep. Why don't tired children just SLEEP??

I ordered a few tops from there a couple weeks ago, all in medium. One fit like a glove, the other was WICKED tight in the arms, and the other was a little tight in the body. Very inconsistent from my experience, but then again this has been my only purchase from them.

snapdragon I hope tomorrow goes better for you and your little ones.
We have a dentist appointment in about an hour for DS. Last night the tooth was darker yellow and starting to turn gray, and today it is definitely all gray and it actually looks like the gum line right above the tooth is also gray. I feel sick.

Your poor DS I'm sure the dentist will fix him right up
So I've only skimmed, so I apologize for missing anyone. alwayslastzz hope the congestion gets better. @gfj48 hope you feel better soon! @kendra1992 and pinkbarebear I hope your men get good news soon! limad, I'm sorry to hear that. My T&P's to you during this difficult time. @tinyjoys, I hope your DS eventually comes to acceptance. Those can be tough. snapdragon, I love that turn of phrase that I think I first saw on the Parenting boards in the other place. @blackpearl08, is there a sort of safe place you could make for him? My dog whines for attention, when she needs out urgently, or when she is separated from the people. We gave her a spot closer to the living room where she goes after greeting company that's not as far away as her bed.
So, I'm a little excited I have something for the randoms thread finally. I just got done with a phone interview for a job that I thought was part time. It's full time with benefits, and they scheduled me for an in person interview next Tuesday during the call. What a great surprise.

Has he hit his mouth on anything? When my older sister was little she was jumping on my mom's waterbed and she fell and hit her mouth on the wooden headboard. Her two front teeth turned gray, mom took her to the ER and they said they were just bruised and would be fine.
I think they went back to normal eventually. I hope your DS is okay!
He fell and hit it on the tile floor a couple of weeks ago. Thank you for telling me about your sister! I hope that it turns out to only be bruised.
Other than waking up to roll over a few times, I slept SO good. Still woke up a little congested so tonight I'll turn it up a little but actually kind of feel rested.
Random Question: Where do you like to find cute maternity tops??? I told DH I'm going to buy some for upcoming things like showers and such but can't find what I'm really looking for at a reasonable price. AND Have you ordered from zulily?? Is the quality good?
I'd avoid Zulily- you'll wait forever for your shipment.
Do you have H&M? I have a very stylish friend who got a lot of really cute maternity stuff there (I haven't shopped there myself because I have so much from my other pregnancies).
Yay I'm excited. For Christmas I bought FI tickets to the Knicks game tonight. So we both have the day off and will take the train into the city (NYC) around 4 to go to MSG. I'm pumped. Needed a day off!
I am not fully functioning today and I read your post as "Yay I'm excited for Christmas, I bought FI tickets to the Knicks game tonight" I had to reread a few times to get it straight.
(I need to go back to bed.)
Have fun at the game! I love any live sports event!
I thought the same thing- I thought you were Christmas shopping wayyyy in advance... Mama needs a nap.
Watching The Bachelor last night made me realize how very normal I am. Some of those women are beyond dramatic...get ahold of yourselves!
I agree!! And they're delusional. They go on 1 date and are all "I can see myself with him for the rest of my entire life forever and ever. Squeeeeeeeeee." Some of them are like that BEFORE even going on a date. They're an insult to women everywhere.

bwisco123 I meant to comment about this earlier. Zulily does take a while.
Kohls and Ross have been my go tos. I've been trying to get things as inexpensive as possible since I know I won't be pregnant again. The clearance rack at Kohls had my favorite finds!
Haha, she is on her game! That's sweet that she is super excited and already planning. May is less than 3 months away...
I still feel like 3 months is soooo long.
When I think about how far away (or close) 3 months is, I try to think of 3 months ago- early November- and use that as perspective. I can't tell if early November seems like forever ago or like it was yesterday... I hate to wish away time but I want it to be May now!!
My son is out of surgery and home. They put in 3 screws, luckily didn't need anything more. He's sick to his stomach and blood sugars are all over the place, but in surprisingly good spirits.
I enjoyed a brownie when I got home, so all is good in my world. MIL still has DD, so I'm going to revel in my last bit of peace and quiet before she gets home.

I think you meant to tag me about the dog. He was just whining out of boredom. He's in the same room as me but still basically a puppy and full of obnoxious puppy energy. Luckily, he stopped so he wont be stepped on today.
