called up my friend on speaker while i was in the bathroom trying to poop, excitedly exclaimed "[bff] omg im constipated!!!!" and she squealed with me for a moment and we exchanged baby dust wishes before hanging up. got out the bathroom after washing my hands, get back to the computer room and my husband looking at me like i have three heads because he heard everything.

it took me a minute of explaining that we're just being positive about possible symptoms, but it took a long time because we both couldnt stop laughing at how weird that was from an outside perspective 🤦‍♀️
