FFFC: I love tit most of the posts on the Name threads, even if I totally hate the names you've picked.

I love tit everything I've read, unless I think it's absolutely terrible

FFFC: There are some people who love tit what seems like almost everyone's posts but mine (probably just my own self-consciousness rather than actual reality), and then I get way too excited when they do love tit one of mine. Not saying who .

I've already eaten sushi twice this pregnancy and plan on eating more. Besides salt and vinegar chips is my no. 1 craving. 

We do go to a place that is very clean, has high ratings and I try to get fried/seared items, but still some raw in there.

sandbar517

@abhphilly HAHAHA I do love tit a lot of stuff, and I almost do it more to keep track of what I've read and what I haven't.  If I happen to skip on of yours, I promise I'm not doing it on purpose.  I also sometimes go back and check and get disappointed if I don't get a lot of love tits.  Hi, insecurity, how are you?

Sometimes when I love tit someone, it doesn’t stick. So sometimes I love and it doesn’t show

I stayed home from work to get stuff done, and to also take a nap. I’m not feeling overly sick, just needed a day and my boss didn’t care.

A lot of the names on the new thread are totally nms. Several I would side eye if a relative named their child that. 

charlestonchew

I don't pretend gush about something if I don't like it. NMS name? I won't pretend to like it. Not all babies are cute either so if its not cute to me I typically say "look at that hair!"

Everyone remember this when birth stories and photos start posting

desertdweller21

If I see someone else post a name I'm considering, it goes to the bottom of my list. I know it's dumb and pointless, but I'm obsessed with finding an uncommon/rare yet classic/traditional name. Like the majority of everyone else it seems! I keep telling myself it's okay if my kid shares a name with someone else lol (and of course they will if it's a traditional name).

Stuck in box
Haha I don't like to be mean but I just can't fake the excitement/emotion. I was probably a little too much though a few years ago a co-worker shared her sons name as chance (while still pregnant with him, so he had not been born) and I was pretty blunt then and said I'm sorry but to me that's a dogs name. Ah well.

tincupchalice

I rarely lovetit.

suchaglencoco

"I'm sorry, but that's a dogs name." Perfection.

charlestonchew

I mean that's like naming a girl sassy or fluffy. Come on. At this point I've probably insulted 2% of this board whose son's names are chance. Isn't chance the dogs name in homeward bound? Off to look that up...

ETA: yes the dog is chance.

charlestonchew

This is why I do not participate in the names thread.

Also do one of the puppies from 101 dalmatians.

I've been blaming some noxious gas on my toddler. 

Also I don't like maternity photoshoots.

Poppy0419

If y’all side eye any of my names, please tell me so I don’t make crazy mistakes!! Don’t let a girl name her kids weird things! 

@sharkmama39 Ive been doing the same with sushi. And basically living off salt and vineager chips. Don’t even care. 

sandbar517

HAHAHAHA you guys are all cracking me up.  @charlestonchew I'm the same way.  IRL, I have a terrible time hiding it if I don't like the name you just told me you're going to name your kid.  Example, when I blurted out "Like celery???" when MH's cousin told me she wanted to name her kid Elery.  Or just now, one of my co-workers said she likes the name Clark for a girl and I told her I would totally side-eye her for it.  We're relatively close friends, so she just laughed and didn't get offended, thankfully.  
But @sharkmama39, I'm the same way.  Natalie is kinda our front runner for a girl right now, and I've been seeing it on the name boards way more than I thought, so now I'm kinda doubting it.......

charlestonchew

Different topic confession: I think I'm going to go to an open house this weekend because the house is gorgeous but I am definitely not buying.

ivyvines6

I'm thinking about pretending to be sick so I don't have to have taken care of cleaning anything today... In reality I'm just tired, but that's not a good enough excuse for some reason.

MLD912

@charlestonchew I'm obsessed with looking at houses. In fact, I feel somewhat entitled to see the inside of every house, and would happily attend open houses every weekend just to look around. I went to the NW Natural Street of Dreams here in PDX this year and it was basically the best day of my life.

Damnit that’s been our girl name for years.

kpc914

I have a few today: 

i know its not your fault, but I'm totally hating on you ladies who get to pretend to be sick. I have had all day nausea and vomiting for 7 weeks straight now and it's not getting any better. I'm just jealous hahaha

I have to bite my tongue every time someone on the naming board mentions their existing child's name and I think it's a ridiculous name. Lol I can comment on what someone is thinking of naming future child, but it's a little late to pass judgement on a toddler's name.

I have been working from home since the serious pregnancy nausea kicked in and this week I am so over it that I work from the comfort of my bed.

Listen... Willow was my number one pick for a decade, and now everybody's doing it! 

kpc914

My husband and I have loved Mia for about 10 years now. It's recent popularity won't stop us. 

sandbar517

@MrT723 and @ivyvines6 That totally happened to me with Abigail, too.  I've had that name picked out since I was like, 15, and now it's getting pretty popular.  Natalie was one of our choices for the twins, but we vetoed it in favor of Hannah, which is now also getting more popular again.  If we pick Natalie, and it starts getting popular, too, I'll be a little annoyed! LOL  Although, I guess I don't mind if it's "popular" I just don't want it to be one of the top 5 or something.  I don't want them to have four other kids of the same name in their class. 

meggles816

Mine is completely unrelated but on my mind today. my MIL refers to my BIL/SIL’s dog as her “grandson”. Not grand dog, grandson. She has 4 actual grandsons. I know I just need to get over it but seriously, WTF. I love dogs, but annoyed that one is on the same level as a human. Maybe this should have been my UO yesterday?! Lol 

sandbar517

@meggles816 I don't remember if it was on this board or TTGP, but I had a whole thing with comparing dogs to kids.  Yeah, just don't.  Imagine how shitty the other grandsons feel when they're compared to dogs.  Ugh.  It annoys the crap out of me when people refer to themselves as "doggy moms". 

fraufarbissina

I don't participate in the name thread because I don't care what anyone thinks of the names I pick.  My daughter's name is not common and might get side-eyed by some of you lol although we have received lots of compliments on it.  We didn't tell anyone the name until she was born and will probably do the same this time.

Another confession, I literally can't remember the last time I ate a vegetable other than tomato and lettuce on a sandwich.

mileswithmyles

@sharkmama39 I've had it twice. Once I ate raw, and once I did all cooked.  It is from a reputable place so IDGAF.

FFFC 1- I think I have convinced myself that I am feeling flutters, which I know makes me an insane person because I am only 13+4.  

FFFC 2- I am starting to feel really tired of feeling so awful and the impact it is having on my life.  It has sucked the fun out of everything for me and I miss feeling "normal."  I hide it pretty well at work because I have to, but I feel really sad that things like seeing my friends, going out to dinner, or intimacy with my husband are all seeming like a chore now.  

ladystinson

@mileswithmyles I don't think you're crazy for the flutters at all. I was 15 weeks with my son the first time another person could feel him move. I had been feeling him for about 2 weeks before that. I know a lot of times when it's really early it's gas or whatever but if you know your body (and especially if it's not your first time so you've already felt the definitive movements) and you really think it is you're probably right. Even ladies with uteruses... uteri?.... a uterus that is tucked very neatly behind the pelvic bone can typically feel the top by 12 weeks. And some of use have a taller uterus/shorter pelvic bone and so may be able to feel a little sooner. 

Anyway, I'm rambling, sorry... I don't think you're crazy!

ivyvines6  I named my first dog willow 18 years ago because:

My FFF- I can't stand when people show me their tattoos thinking that I will care because I am covered.... My tattoos are the  result of a rebellious 20s not a spring break sorority sisters freinds tattoo pact. 

tincupchalice

@mileswithmyles I definitely felt flutters at 14w with my second, so could be!

@mileswithmyles I definitely felt a flutter when I was only 12 weeks.  But baby was already up a lot higher than normal at that point.  But I know it was a flutter.  I have only felt it that one time and then one other time since then though.  

On the popular names thing, I wanted the name Emma forever!  Even before it was popular on Friends.  I am so annoyed with how popular it's become the past few years.

tacosandvirginmargaritas

To keep with the FFFC names - I have extreme name regret with my oldest. I like uncommon names. Her dad (my ex) liked very popular/traditional type names. We fought over it my entire pregnancy, I finally gave into one on his list that I hated the least because I was exhausted from giving birth and tired of fighting about it. Now I wish I would have fought harder for one of my choices. I never call her by her real name, I use a nickname. 

Edited To add - he would have never caved and probably would have thrown a huge fit if I fought the names harder. To explain the type of guy he was, I was in labor for 18 hours, pushed for almost 2. A few hours after she was born he told me he was more tired than I was and his cot was too uncomfortable and asked me to switch beds. I said no, he freaked out, yelled and screamed and went home. He was a real gem.

charlestonchew

On movement: I thought I felt a flutter a couple days ago. It was in the middle of the night and I woke up with a painfully full bladder and it felt like a slithering fish in a fish bowl real fast and then I never felt it again. I'm 12 weeks and FTM so I'm probably just crazy.

@tacosandvirginmargaritas

Holy shit. Seriously that labour story. Holy. shit.
Glad to see that gem is gone!
