General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

[Flueky88]

I see them. Fx they darken. Bnb over all has really slowed down compared to years ago. I often read but don't post much as I'm pretty busy. The monthly testing threads in tww forum are pretty active and could always post in pregnancy test forum. when are you testing again?

 

[shaescott]

J if there’s a new hotspot I’m not aware of it. Things have just slowed down over time. :/

 

[Fern81]

Hi there I popped in today as I suddenly have loads of time (maternity leave ) just to see surprise surprise J’s tests congratulations! Are you going to do betaHGC bloodwork? Hope it’s a sticky bean, fx hard for you!

Sorry I haven’t read back but hi to everyone else too

 

[shaescott]

Fern congrats on maternity leave! You’re so close to baby’s arrival, how exciting!

 

[JLM73]

[DobbyForever]

Honestly no where lol. You’d think being stuck at home it’d be more active. But it’s pretty quiet across BNB. This thread also seems to be on its last legs with nobody really obsessively ttcing atm

did you do your frer today or was that a different day?

 

[JLM73]

I only did the one frer Monday...doing the 2nd with fmu tomorrow...I'm not gonna be able too sleep lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Fluek time has flown by! I can’t believe your already at almost 35w!

and Fern yay for mat leave!

wishing you both safe deliveries!

j got it! I forgot when you were doing frer number 2. Excited to see it! Hopefully it’s a solid line that can give you that peace of mind

 

[Flueky88]

Great progression J!

Dobby, thank you. It has flown by for the most part. I'm very happy your ex paid up all the child support and that you were able to take care of your bills and such.

Shae how are classes going?

Pacific congrats on selling the property

Kitty how are you doing?

 

[shaescott]

J oooo that progression! So excited for you and hoping for a great frer in the morning! Normally I’d check obsessively every few minutes in the morning but I have 7 am clinical so I’ll probably be last to see it

Flueks classes are going okay! My first nursing exam of the semester wasn’t as high a grade as I hoped, and I think work is about to start piling up for my other classes, but hopefully I’ll be able to put on my motivation face and actually get it done. How’s pregnancy treating you? Are the girls doing well?

AFM my roommate from last year just announced she’s pregnant, and she was with this guy for like a month before she got pregnant and I am way too jealous because I’ve been with SO for nearly 7 years and I’m older than her and I have no baby but I have to remind myself that I’m being a good responsible adult by waiting to have graduated and have a job and at least an apartment (not shaming her, reminding myself why *I’m* not allowed to be pregnant rn). Also she has a pic from before her conception date based on her due date (yes I’m crazy and calculated it) in the same outfits in the same location as the pic she just posted with them doing the heart over her belly so I’m like ??? You weren’t pregnant yet though??? I need to learn to mind my own damn business
TLDR: my former roommate is pregnant and I’m very jealous lol

 

[DobbyForever]

Girl Shae you know I read that all because I love me some tea!

j/c did she publicly say when she is due? That does seem odd and I feel like there’s a story there. Where’s my Michael Jackson eating popcorn gif when I need it?!

but it does suck but you’re so right. She may be enjoying things now, but you are setting yourself up to be stable as an individual and a partnership. There’s no perfect time or situation for a baby, but it sure does make a difference when you’re ready for it and can just embrace it not struggle through it.

I may not see it either. Progress reports have to be emailed tomorrow. And I have errands to run. I am not looking forward to teaching and having A home on Monday. His ABA said they could come to the home but I have trust issues.

 

[shaescott]

Dobs yes she publicly announced she’s due April 3rd. I did the calculations and if she was 14dpo on the day she first posted in those outfits at that location, she’d be due MARCH 1st. I am so confused.

 

[DobbyForever]

Curious. I don’t want to spread rumors buuuuuut lol just saying guys aren’t always quick to understand how gestational weeks work. I’d say error on her end is possibly but being in nursing school herself (assuming since she’s you’re Ex roomie) that she knows how pregnancy works. I’m sure there’s an innocent explanation but because it’s me and I like drama lol I’m going to assume she devious

Was hoping to see a test. Hope you ended up being able to get a good night’s rest

 

[shaescott]

J where is your test????

Dobs she’s not in nursing actually, but she’s been to the doctor, she posted her ultrasound photos, so the due date should be accurate. So I’m like... did they miscarry and get pregnant immediately after and just use the picture they took before she miscarried? Like wtf happened here?

 

[DobbyForever]

Maybe it was just a picture where they coincidentally had hands on her tummy from before that they liked and used again? I’ve posted pics like that and people thought we were pregnant. It’s possible. Being cynical I’d be more inclined to think she let on she was pregnant to him before she actually was pregnant. Idk and so hard cuz you can’t ask but inquiring minds want to know

 

[DobbyForever]

And I agree hoping J is just busy

 

[shaescott]

Dobs idk, the pose seems pretty baby-ish to me (pics of pose and previous picture posted in June)

 

[DobbyForever]

Maybe they just liked those outfits and place and are being millennials who recreate photos? I still smell a story haha. I’d totally ask but there’s a reason I don’t have a lot of friends

 

[JLM73]

Sorry i was out allll day yesterday and again last night helping homeless folks and friends
Here are yesterday pics and today's digi!

 

[Flueky88]

J, So awesome seeing the positive digi!

Shae hmmm there is most likely something more to it. That is a very pregnant pose they did for sure. Maybe she had a loss or maybe thought she was pregnant then (has long cycles and was going off lmp rather than a dating scan?) In any case, while I'm sure it'll all work out for her, you are so right that it'll be much easier to wait until you have your own place and out of college. I'm an older mom compared to many in my area but I'm glad we waited.

Anyways, think I'll finish prepping my freezer meals. I have access to a deep freeze so using it to my advantage. Looking forward to just dumping bags into the crockpot instead of cooking with a newborn.
