Sorry, I'm being a total RTT whore right now before I leave for work... Do you think James is too boy for a girl's middle name? We don't have a middle name yet, and we've been discussing possibilities all day. DH really likes Isla James. I blew it off at first, but kinda love boyish girl names and it's growing on me. I'm pretty sure our child is going to be a super girly girl, so he thinks it'll be one of those things she would "pull off" plus he says it's just a middle name. I want to not like it, but the more I say it the more I'm kinda into it too...
I know an Elizabeth James. She is awesome.
She also married into the last name Franco, so she is now Liz James Franco. Bonus if you like James Franco.
I love the name James for a girl. But I also like Ryan and Dylan for girls....(and also boys!)

As someone who grew up with the middle name of Travis, I am biased against girls having boy middle names. I like to think I carry it off well, but wow did I get teased as a kid! It was a family name that I am supposed to be passing down to my eldest child, but I have such horrible memories associated with it that no child of mine will be having it--not even a boy
"And if I ever have a son, I think Im gonna name him
Bill or George! Anything but Sue! I still hate that name!"
Wow. It just occurred to me that since I'm missing my last two days of work staying home with DH I am officially on maternity leave. Well, I'll go in on Monday to take care if signing out classroom materials and turning in keys - all the stuff I would have been doing tomorrow - but still. So relieved to be off. There's so much to do!
Also, who's the she y'all are talking about? I haven't been on the board today, so spill.

Baby Girl Born: April 2014 If you ask me what I came to do in this world, I, an artist, I will answer you:
I'm having a bad day. I did my hair and makeup today even though I knew I'd be stuck at home waiting for FED EX, but I needed to feel good. I knew it was a mistake to not go with waterproof mascara. So much for feeling, or looking good.
Neighbor just stopped by which is totally cool, but it took me 10 minutes to realize that I am not wearing a bra and I have a VERY thin shirt on. Ooops.
She has real Instagram friends who like her pictures and comment sometimes. she added me when we did that Instagram thread way back. I curiously stalked her when all the glen coco guesses happened her sister has an Instagram too that's public and has the same picture posted that she posted on our thread (big Pregnant belly in underwear pic). Bed rest gives me way too much spare time I swear.
@joytomylifex I love it a lot I think a name is what you make of it personally your not being weird and spelling it awkward and she will have a beautiful very feminine first name. My best friends name is Bobbie Jo and though it's not my fav she's a very feminine person so maybe I'm used to the gender names. My DSDs name is Karsyn although I personally wouldn't pick the name (or spelling) if I was her mom everyone seems to love it and give compliments all the time. And my SO & I have her the majority of the time so I've gotten used to it & never heard negative comments about the name (only about the y but I totally commented on it too when I met my SO)

But have you ever watched that show Catfish? I was fascinated by it, initially, now, I'm over it. But some of these people weave these elaborate fake personas complete with multiple accounts so their fake personas can have siblings, boyfriends, and friends (all also fake). Its so bazaar, I just will never understand the motivation behind it.
@knotty-girl I only watched once and I felt so bad for the girl I wanted to cry and turn it off haha I'm too emotional for those kinds of shows. One question whoo has time for that shit I barely have a minute for my own life here.
Is it bad to post her insta name? Mines chelseaelizabeth589 you could always look through my followers hers starts with a N and ends with an 18. I don't know privacy guidelines here lol
@Tasha575 - Can I join you for that drink? Just spent two hours on the phone with insurance trying to get answers to all of my questions. Apparently, I had too many questions, because the representative seemed super pissed with me by the end of the call. Gah!!
Do hospitals/OB's have a quota like cops with traffic tickets do (or supposedly do)....because I find it odd that we hit the end of the month and all the sudden there's inductions everywhere! Like they are determined to get babies out before April....
I was seriously wondering the same thing! My EDD is 4/1 and at my appointment this past Tuesday, my OB asked me if I wanted her to strip my membranes if she found that I was dilated at all. I was a bit put off by this since I'm not even past my EDD date yet, so I said no....
I'm kind if jealous of all of you ladies that love your OB's. I don't dislike mine, but I also wouldn't be opposed to a different OB for the next LO. My OB is knowledgeable, but I feel like she rushes through my appointments and doesn't have much of a bedside manner....

is it sad i want to start an instagram just to see this?
Why do my boobs look so good? Then I peed on a stick...
If you read The Happiest Baby on the Block did you do so before the birth or after? I'm thinking I may forget the information I read if I read too early. Or I won't have time to once she is here.

@ColleenSwerb since I think you follow this method.
I read the Happiest Baby on the Block. The techniques are pretty easy to remember. I wouldn't worry about forgetting anything.

Seriously, if this is pre-labor then I have changed my mind about all of this. Crampy and miserable all day minus a few super energetic hours this morning. It's like gas trapped up between my ribs and belly button, and my 6 poops today have done nothing.

This is my life this week. I almost cried at my OB appointment today when she said my cervix was all closed up. She had to assure me that if my water broke and/or I started having timeable contractions, it could dilate and things could happen any day.

I had the lowest BP reading I've ever had this whole pregnancy - 106/80! I'm kinda excited it's finally being normal, but with only two weeks left? Not much time left to enjoy it!
Reading Happiest Baby on the Block right now, super easy read but awfully repetitive. I suppose that's how you get it to sink in. I did the kindle version and would recommend it. I am going to have DH read it when I am done.
