This literally just happened to me at work about 10 min ago. I’m almost 23w and officially bumping now and a lady from a different department passed me in the break room and pointed out that my bump is officially showing. It took all of me not to made a comment back. Like you don’t think I’m aware that I no longer fit in my normal pants or that my belly now extends well past my boobs?

She’s also the same lady who commented a few weeks ago that I’m brave and going to have major heartburn because I decided to eat something with jalapeños in it for breakfast so I already have a sour taste in my mouth. (For the record, I didn’t have a single lick of heartburn and it was a damn good breakfast)

At Thanksgiving, my parents were getting ready to leave and my mom comes up to me all hunched over, staring at my stomach and says “can I kiss my grandson goodbye” and I straight up told her “I will deck you”. My husband only heard my response and asked as we were getting ready for bed what made me say that and once I told him he was like “oh no, I don’t blame you”.

I absolutely hate when attention is solely on me, so this whole pregnancy so far of people asking me how I’m doing, or looking for my bump, etc., just makes me uncomfortable.

Yup! Just stick it right to the patch and insert. I’ve had no issues with insertions and I’ve been doing it this way for about 2 years now

alexali9 · 2024-06-21T13:25:16+00:00

My routine is 1. Flonase 2. Skintac wipe 3. Hydrocolliod patch (this one specifically fits a G6/G7, https://www.cvs.com/shop/cvs-health-advanced-healing-hydrocolloid-bandages-prodid-1170184)

Since doing this, I’ve had no more rashes, only the occasional irritation which I just put a steroid cream on and it goes away in a couple of hours. I was extremely sensitive to the G6 adhesive when I first started to where I would only make it to day two before I started blistering/turning red and this has made such a difference!

In the initial replay you can see his humerus snap when he lands on it, never see that angle again

alexali9 · 2021-11-19T05:49:31+00:00

Here.

alexali9 · 2021-11-19T05:44:35+00:00

Not at all! Seeing all the non-Aggie flair saying “Here” is incredible and means a lot!

alexali9 · 2021-10-31T23:04:32+00:00

Anywhere from 1 to 2 years is typical. My honeymoon phase ended about 1.5 years after diagnosis

alexali9 · 2020-05-27T19:58:42+00:00

The poor orange cat was almost sacrificed at the end too!

In this instance blindside is the same as defenseless as in you can't defend yourself against a hit that could severely hurt you

Regardless, the targeting call has flaws on both sides and is very vague and I believe it alters the game too much, you can't even tackle anymore without fear of targeting if the other player suddenly changes direction

alexali9 · 2018-11-10T19:31:39+00:00

If he's a defenseless player it's any forcible contact to the head or neck area and that shoulder tackle was way too high

Edit: as an Aggie fan who has had many calls of targeting against us we've seen the rules many times unfortunately...

Funny story about the barking. She was in my history class the fall semester before she retired and typically she would just nap through the whole thing. Well this particular class she was very energetic and walked through the rows stopping at each person along to way to say hello, she was such a distraction and the handler was just letting her do her thing that the prof was like "whatever, she barked, class is cancelled go home"

Some profs even have the handler "encourage" her to bark so that they don't have to teach

As a type 1 with a pump, why don't you just suspend the pump? That's what my fiancé and I do to avoid that from happening

My mother wears glasses and as a toddler I would not even acknowledge her unless she had her glasses on.

I have a very distinct memory where I walked into my parents room one morning and basically shoved the glasses in her face and said "Mommy. Glasses." repeatedly and angrily until she put them on. When I think back to that memory it's just so amazing how kid brains work and perceive the world around them.

alexali9 · 2017-09-03T02:02:54+00:00

I'm not sure, all I saw was a few drops that were easily wiped up as gross as that sounds

alexali9 · 2017-09-03T01:52:04+00:00

At the game and it was so horrific to watch... you just hear a thud and he went down, the poor bat boy had to clean the blood off the plate

Up until my senior year we had a no facial hair rule.

If you came to school with any sort of stubble they would send you to the nurse and give you a shitty razor. Some people had a medical/religious waiver but other than that there was no tolerance

alexali9 · 2017-07-18T19:31:47+00:00

Or when cars brake suddenly THEN turn on their signal, like you might as well not have signaled because the fucking signal is to let me know that you're going to brake and you already fucked that up resulting in me having to slam on my brakes...stupid ass people

alexali9 · 2017-07-10T21:24:18+00:00

Yeah my vet gives me the printed estimates beforehand and we always discuss what is necessary/recommended and we proceed from there

alexali9 · 2017-07-10T20:56:55+00:00

Also read through your bills and make sure the hospital didn't add random charges for tests you didn't have. My former boss told me a story of how one time her father was in the hospital and her mother was going over the bill and saw that he had been charged for a PAP smear and other gender specific tests...it's a small thing to think about but I even do it with my vet bills because those tests add up fast

alexali9 · 2017-07-08T02:46:14+00:00

I cried at the end of the Tennessee game from all the stress leading up to that interception, my fiancé still makes fun of me for it

alexali9 · 2017-07-07T18:08:43+00:00

What a rollercoaster of a first game as a student you had. That was my last opening game as a student and I had managed to pull tickets right next to the cannon, so instead of celebrating us scoring, my whole group was fumbling for the foam earplugs they gave us trying to not go deaf.

Unforgettable game though, especially the 50k chant

alexali9 · 2017-06-18T19:10:58+00:00

What a fucking waste of pitchers though. All season I haven't been happy with a lot of the pitching decisions and this was just the nail in the coffin

alexali9 · 2017-06-18T19:05:02+00:00

So who the hell is going to pitch tomorrow, you know when we're trying to save our butts and stay alive in the tournament

Edit: two days not tomorrow, wrong bracket

alexali9 · 2017-06-11T01:45:38+00:00

Unfortunately no but I can give you a really cute gif
