@wyomama0427 agree! I grew up in the PNW so I always associate gray drizzly days with "home" and I love them. But it has to be specific weather-- no stormy/driving rain, just like a light mist. aah.
@Sugargirl1019 so helpful, thank you!!! I placed my first order last night... found some of the covers I thought looked best at the class on sale at a website called Diaper Junction so ordered a few and some accessories. I think we're going to start with a diaper service (partly to avoid having to buy newborn sizes plus regular sizes and partly to placate my DH who is still kind of appalled at the whole idea of cloth diapers-- at least this way we won't be doing the washing ourselves to start), so I don't have much of an excuse to build up a real stash now. but it's tempting.
@labby18 I never said I wasn't strange lol! @mrsmarygs I just love the rain, I love big storms with lightning and stuff. I like to open the blinds at night when there's lots of lightning and sit in the dark and watch
Oh the poop pictures and the naked baby pictures. I've shared that before as my UO. I cant stand naked baby pictures. Think about this, if you post a picture of your cute naked baby,18 years from now a college goes to do a google search on this prospective student, and bam, naked baby. Or 22 years from now a future employer does a google search, and bam, naked baby. Not cool.
BTW, for a fun laugh, my sister agrees about naked baby pictures. She and I have created a new hashtag (also don't like hashtags) for such pictures #CTNB (cloth the naked babies)
Just caught my friend on one of the local mom groups on FB trying to get me a gift - a fetal doppler (she doesn't know i do not want one, but I dont want to hurt her feelings). She has 2 kids and hubby got snipped recently. Sooo i texted her like "WHAT ARENT YOU TELLING ME? WHY DO YOU WANT A DOPPLER?!" she was like oh no no no no it's for you. you werent supposed to see that. lol

I love storms, too... as long as they aren't too bad. We get a fair amount of tornadoes in Alabama, and those freak me the F out... so if it starts getting TOO stormy I get nervous. Especially in the spring.
sooo DH has been home since Mar 8 after being gone for 9weeks ish....he leaves Thursday for his 1st show of the show year...he'll be back on Sunday. I'm kind of a mess about this. I usually am totally cool, I am so proud of him and haven't had a problem with his travelling for shows for the past 2 years...but nope. Pregnancy got me all sorts of wound up.
"Bug season" just started here, so the other day I saw a roach up near the ceiling of my room, too high to reach, so I left it (I don't deal well with roaches). Of course that night, I realized it could still be lurking around in my room somewhere. I hate sleeping with clothes on, but paranoia got the best of me and I ended up googling something like, "can a roach crawl in your vagina while you sleep". I slept the next 2 nights with underwear on before I finally talked myself down.
I think one of my worst fears would be having all my google searches read aloud for everyone to hear.
I made my favorite chicken dish, that I haven't made since maybe week 6. The mere thought of it has turned my stomach. But I had all the stuff for it on hand on Sunday and it didn't sound awful.
It was not good. But I choked some down for dinner. Then I brought some to work today because, well, it's been made and it needs to be eaten. Now I'm staring at it sitting on my desk for lunch.. and I hate my life. I kind of want to go home. I have been really lucky with mood swings and heavy emotions (not having them). Yesterday and today I am just SO MEH and BLAH and really just want to curl up on the couch.
My boss would definitely let me go home. But if I do, the rest of my week is screwed up (eg, I'll be super busy). Maybe I'll try and bang out today's stuff after lunch and go home a couple hours early.

His show schedule is still all up in the air as he has to give up the show in Virginia Beach (its my due date) and the California long trip (huntington beach, san diego, san fran). And because he has to go to a month long school (locally thank god) but doesn't know when yet.
Lol my dh would agree with you I'm sure. @labby18 Valdosta is like 10-15 mins away from where I live so we go watch whoever they have there. We haven't taken DS yet because of the noise but we were discussing taking him this year. He likes any vehicle that moves cars airplanes trains. So I really think he would enjoy it.
@kelseyrayay ahhh, I wasnt sure how far Jax was for you. Next Tuesday I'm watching their practice from the roof of another building on base, I'm pretty stoked about it. Well I hope yall get to go to a show this year, and that eventually you get to go to a Blue Angel show. And legit, anyone who hasn't been to a Blue Angel show, you should. It's really freaking cool.
ETA: go to the show. find him when they are wandering around during crowd time (meeting people and signing stuff) before the blue angel jets fly and be like "Hi I'm one of your wife's "bump girls" he'll freak out hahaa.
@labby18 Yes, I'm in the Corpus Christi area. I would go to the show, but my mom's coming in this weekend. Not sure she'll want to go. She seems to want to spend every second shopping for baby stuff.
There is literally an ad for the show in the elevator at my work.
@HollyGolightly09 That's a great idea, thank you!! I'm trying to think of everything I can to make a solid case for this, and I think that's a good point to include.
I think it's really only fair to include that someone 7 months pregnant got approved.... I can't understand why they'd deny you when you weren't pregnant when you enrolled and tried to schedule your first physical. I'll be the whiny six year old over here stomping my feet for you saying "ITS NOT FAAAIIIIRRR!!"
Except I would be pissed if they then denied me something because my coworker pointed something out. I would leave the coworker out of it- you don't always know the whole situation and I wouldn't want to jeapordize someone else's coverage.
Oh man, I really want mashed potatoes and gravy...mmmmm....
Paula Deen recipes are the best. I always use way more butter than I probably should. She has this ooey gooey butter cake that is so sugary and buttery it is so divine.
It must be the week for crazy FAcebook posts...a friend just publicly posted that she is so glad she's off birth control and went on to share that they are not trying but not preventing for baby #2. Like seriously. What makes anyone think that belongs on FB?!
I unfollowed someone on Facebook about a year ago for something very similar. Since that time, she has been a lesbian and is now pregnant... with a different man than the one she was "so excited to start trying" with a year ago.
Do we have the same friend? Lol. I have an ex friend just like this! She unfriended me recently because I didn't rsvp to her baby shower.
The one thing worse than naked baby pics w the cutesy "sensor" bits is uncensored naked baby pics. A girl I know just had a daughter and they apparently felt the need to prove it was a girl on FB. I was mortified and just wanted to shake her and be like no no no not safe! Or ok. Or anything else.
@Sugargirl1019 yay! I knew the cat would eventually come outta the bag that DH is a blue angel lol. He was at the dallas/fort worth show last year. He really enjoyed it there.

@Sugargirl1019 thank you. That was a really hard time for us and the whole Blue Angel family. DH was there when it happened and was one of the 1st ones on the scene of the crash site...it's been rough mentally. But thank you so very much.
