this was a good one!!

[gabeandgavinsmommy]

When I first came here I though BD meant bedding down, lol. At least it was the same thing
:-) Also I though DH meant the opposite of dear and I couldn't figure out why everyone was writing that about their husbands and in my head I would say "bad word" husband and it took me a long time to switch it over to dear after I found out that's what it meant. Yep I'm pretty bright over here

[kokomo1218]

hey I thought the same thing gabeandgavinsmommy!
I added the ones from Darlenne and lostmommy !

[mandasmummy]

s/b = Stillbirth
IC = Internet cheapies (can refer to OPK's or HPT's)

[LauraBeth]

Since you've included RE and IVF, here are a few others

ART Assisted reproductive technology
PGD Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis

To get this post stickied to the top, just send Clara a PM to ask her!

Baby dust to all here!!

;D Christina & Kokomo! That's too funny. It can also stand for Darling Husband, Darling son, etc, but I never thought of the other! It's funny what we can come up with when we try to fill in the blanks, isn't it?! I remember being completely stumped by KWIM (Know what I mean) but the funniest one was DTD We're fans of the Wiggles at this house, so DTD stands for Dorothy the Dinosaur. Imagine my shock when I opened a post about DTD one day and found out it also stands for "Do The Deed" LOL Now I find myself thinking in acronyms IRL, (in real life). You know you're on here too much when someone tells a joke and you want to say "LOL! That's funny!" ;D
