Love it, @DeePaddy24!!

currently how I'm feeling.....

I haven't been as active on TB the past few days, so there's like 526 new posts on this thread for me to catch up with, but here's my random: You lovely curly-headed ladies who posted pics on the HDBD thread ( @ahernandez16 and @Kballew10 to name a couple!) inspired me to wear my hair curly for the first time in a long while today. I swear my hair has changed texture since having my first child...it's not as curly as it used to be. But today I must've done something right, because the curls are forming better today than in previous days of going natural. Woot!

I decided to make nursery decor (this is a terrible idea, but I never learn).  I went to Hobby Lobby because Michael's doesn't sell fabric and I wanted large pieces of felt.  The cutting lady ticked me off and I was super rude to her.  I shouldn't be allowed in public when pregnant hulk ragey.

I have a very good random tonight.  I've been feeling a bit down lately (not feeling very pretty for one (and @MamaNicoleof3 that meme made me laugh out loud) or "myself" for another) but I hauled my butt to the gym anyway and did Spin class.  One lady came up to me afterwards and told me I was her "fitness inspiration" and that she was feeling tired and like she didn't want to work out at all but then she saw me trying and felt like she should try harder.  I swear it almost made me cry happy tears.  I've never been anyone's "anything" inspiration...was awfully nice to hear.

Of course, I'm rewarding that hard work with jelly beans because I can.

@mkemommy that's awesome! Does go to show you never know whose being inspired by you when you're being so hard on yourself! Good for you for making it to spin!!

Paired with, "I lurk all the time, I swear! I just don't post..."  Ladies that lurk and don't post... POST!!  Jump right in!!

I haven't posted on the randoms thread in forever.

I will say that the thread that got shut down after it turned into a hotdish convo was fucking awesome. Also, I've stopped clicking on the baby names threads - it's your child, pick a name that you like. I don't feel that other people's opinions should matter that much if you like the name.

@bankssl1 It's hard because you want to support his hobby (assuming he doesn't have a million of them haha) but also he needs to honor his commitments made to you. DH always asks me before he commits bc he's not good at remembering plans and if we have something planned, I let him know that it won't work or ask him how he will make it happen. 

So so maybe have a talk with him about how you want to support him, but also make time for the things you want. 

I don't know if you have any kids yet or not, but it's definitely nice when DH goes golfing in the morning and then I can take off in the afternoon to get my nails done or a little shopping in exchange! Or vice versa! 

@bankssl1 & @Bear14+ I'm on that struggle bus. My husband HAD to play 9 holes the day after my D & C...his excuse was that all I could do was lay in bed so he didn't feel like he was abandoning me. He has since learned better lol. But every weekend it's a struggle.

^^^Thank GOD I am not the only one. I stopped opening them. Once again..it's too much!

I'm considering this as my response to all future name posts.

I can't help you name your baby, I don't know you or your life style or your personality. AND I can't even come up with a name for my own baby!!

bankssl1

mrsmartinez16 Oh no! That would have made me so upset, I'm so sorry!

I love those!  Also, I agree. We don't even have names picked out and these threads are just adding to the list of names I would NOT name our kid.  Not helping!

Re: name posts....I don't even recognize any of the posters. Drive by posters drive me insane.

Seriously! We're being flooded by so many randoms.

I. Know.

TOTS!!!!!

I don't care about naming other people's kids.  And I HATE unique names, so I am just a jerk.  BUT!  I will say.  I love clicky polls more than I hate naming people's kids so if there is a poll, I AM CLICKING!!! 

MamaNicoleof3

@Lilwatz- the Valentines Day fail is a total WIN!

VikingGirl12

Y'all will not believe this! Guess what's on the menu at school today?? TOTS! The lunch ladies love me and always give me extra since I'm preg  

Lilwatz

@VikingGirl12 That is called #WINNING.

MsBeachNJ

@VikingGirl12 that's awesome!! Kismet!!!

AW time!  I had an echo for the baby today (no specific risks to the heart, but I am high risk for more than one reason so they check the heart more closely).  

1.  She is still freaking cute.
2.  She was sucking her fingers when they showed me her profile. 
3.  She looked like a turtle.  For real.  I am gestating a really cute turtle.  Curled in a ball with a very clear spine (shell) and her arms and legs were flailing like a turtle that you pick up and it flips out.
4.  While listening to one of the valves we watched my girl literally race off the screen.  She's as active as her sister was in utero.  My husband and I are screwed.  

HBamama2B

Yeah @lilwatz ! Love the good news and what a cute description of your cutie!

crdo

Yay for good news @Lilwatz!

When I was pregnant with my first I asked opinions for baby names. I'm glad I did since I wanted to names him Jason Alexander. Then people pointed out who Jason Alexander is and I quickly changed my mind!
