@AAAG13 how on earth did you have the energy for 6 loads of laundry?! I'm exhausted just thinking about doing laundry!

When does nesting kick in? I could really use the burst of energy right now.

I have the nesting urge but zero energy

@ButterMyBiscuit urban walls on Instagram and esty. I used these decals in the nursery edit to add website

I nested quite a bit first pregnancy because it was so exciting being pregnant and I wanted to be as prepared as possible since I had no clue what I was going to do with a baby. I have a feeling it's not going to happen this time.

@Lindsayleigh1989 it's the excitement of being in a new house I think. Plus now laundry is the same floor as the nursery so it's so convenient. Yesterday I did all of DH and my laundry that was backed up from the move, that was 7 loads and not nearly as fun as baby clothes.

Why must I love cooking shows so much?! My hunger always skyrockets while im watching them and im usually already eating. It's a bad cycle 

ButterMyBiscuit

Thank you, ladies!! Definitely checking all of those out!

@ButterMyBiscuit - I used Etsy for DD's old room and for her current room. I used 2 different sellers but both were very nice!

I need fashion help.  I bought this dress from Old Navy (https://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=1010708&vid=1&pid=209613002) and am thinking of wearing it to one of my best friends weddings in early June (I'll be 34 weeks).  It's an evening wedding at a country club, so formal, but not black tie.  My husband is wearing a suit and tie, no vest.  I'm worried that this dress is too informal because of the fabric so am looking for a way to dress it up a little.  Suggestions for shoes?  I struggle in heels on a good day, so don't think I can wear them then.  What about accessories, hair, etc?  My friend is really laid back, she'd be fine if I showed up in yoga pants, but I still want to look appropriate and nice!  Especially next to MH!

@rnyland1 I saw this today. Personally I would want this as a gift! I'm sure you could make the labels and put them on a cheaper bottle like Barefoot (no shade on Barefoot because they're my jam!!)

@megstervt my first thoughts on hair were something like these:




And then I would wear a simple but classy necklace, like pearls or a single pendant. I love the dress, it's really pretty!

Maybe a pretty bow sash, some semi formal sandals, and pretty necklace.  To me what makes it seem so casual is the drawstring in front, so I think something dressy to cover that up would be the biggest help and then accessorize from there

megstervt I would suggest dressy sandals in black, with some kind of embellishment you could match your jewelry with. Maybe something like these: https://www.payless.com/womens-shady-flat-sling/77595.html?dwvar_77595_color=black_black#start=3. I think a bold silver necklace and stud earrings would compliment the dress nicely, and I would just do your hair in whatever way makes you feel your best, whether it's a pretty updo or soft curls, just something that makes you feel more special than an ordinary day. Maybe treat yourself to a pretty mani/pedi too if it's in your budget

@megstervt I like the dress, but if you feel like you need something fancier you could always consider renting from minefornine.com.

I'm two hours into the zoo now. Send help. And I swear I will punch my husband if he mentions a wheelchair one more time. Just let me power through this in my own way. 

MiL is complaining because the 4 year old wants to go through the exhibits too quick and FIL is encouraging him to be naughty cuz it's funny. Hubs is pushing me to get a wheelchair and little dude and I just want to zoom through. 

Who the F thought it was a good idea to go to the zoo at 31 weeks pregnant?! (I did. I thought it was a good idea and everyone spent the last couple of months trying to talk me out of it.)

As I was hitting submit, my MiL asked Siri in the middle of the zoo 'What do you do about wax buildup in your ear?' 

I felt that that was important enough that I needed to share it. 

ButterMyBiscuit

@pandaferh The zoo is rough when not pregnant. Might want to get that wheelchair.

rnyland1

@pandaferh I'm thinking of doing a zoo trip this weekend with DS. Maybe just stopping often to sit down and rest might make it easier rather than zooming through? I did an art festival this past Sunday and while it was exhausting I think I did ok, there just wasn't a lot of seating throughout. I'm hoping the zoo has more places to stop and sit. My stepkids will be here Jun 11th-July 3rd and I'm terrified because I know they are going to want to go out and do all this stuff and probably going to be mostly stationary by then. Will try my best though. Hoping they make some friends with the neighborhood kids this time!

I was just nosing through the June board and I am so glad I made the choice way back when to be on the July BMB. I mean, having an EDD of June 29 could very well put me into July anyway - here's to a ruby birthstone!

I just love you guys so much!

TM14

I thought the zoo would be so fun but the hills and all that walking days otherwise! Good luck ladies!

Happy Teacher's Day to all y'all long suffering educators out there!

You know that lurking works both ways right?  I've got to ask, what's so awful about the June board that you felt the need to post about how July is SO much better?  When some people from July defected to June, multiple threads got shut down because of how angry a few July BMBers got about people talking about how June was better....

PinkLady2015

@sgoldberg247 and I believe the overwhelming response from June BMB'ers was that no ill will was really meant by them posting that they love June over July... I think we all prefer our own birth month board than anyone else's because we're used to how things are and have helped shaped the community.

ButterMyBiscuit

goldie987

@PinkLady2015 not saying anything is wrong with July, just asking why she felt the need to post about how its so much better than June. 

@ButterMyBiscuit don't even start, you were one of the ones who got all up in arms about people talking crap about July in the first place and you make snide comments about the June board all the time.  Double standard much? 

ButterMyBiscuit

@Sgoldberg247


ETA: andplusalso, I think you have me mixed up with another user. I give no fucks about whiny users who go to June to bitch about us. 

PinkLady2015

because she likes July more than June... its not rocket science

Typically there's a reason, its not rocket science to figure that out either.  Is it SO much to ask why July is SO much better that she felt the need to talk about how shes a June mom-to-be but do glad she is part of the July board?  
@ButterMyBiscuit I dont have you confused, I'm sure of it.  If you want to go on believing you've never come over to flame someone because they talked about how they thought July was mean then more power to you.  It doesn't make it true.  

ButterMyBiscuit

@Sgoldberg247 I could not care less. Go have your tot love-fest over in June. 

KASG

@ButterMyBiscuit  can I just say how much I love you for saying "I could NOT care less" !!! It drives me NUTS when people say "I could care less" lol #GrammarGeek

I never assumed you would, just pointing out the hypocrisy.  That's all.

You don't even have any idea. Butter never went over to June to say anything about it, and I remember her encouraging people to let it go, including July ladies. She was echoing the same "for fucks sakes" here because really, for fucks sake.

The poster in this thread didn't even say anything disparaging about June, like, at all. I can't remember what happened back then but pretty sure there ended up being a little July name calling... that was the initial issue, that we're always called mean, etc. But this person said she's glad to be in July and not June...what is the issue?

And countdown until this thread gets closed...

All I asked is what is so wrong with June that she had to say she was lurking around and is so happy she isn't part of our board and is part of yours.  It really is a simple question and had it been reversed and someone was due in early July but was part of our board and talked about how ours was so much better, I can guarantee that our board would have been inundated with July members being far worse than I've been.
