@vivereidescent I'm not convinced she's real. Maybe? But I also have very clear memories of one of the regulars on my last BMB inventing a person full of drama and out there stories just to liven things up.
(It was fun for a while, but towards the end, when she still wouldn't reveal who she was, everyone got kind of weirded out.)

@vivereidescent I guess whoever created her got bored? And it was funny for a while, especially once everyone clued in that she wasn't real. When no one would own up to it months after we had jumped to FB and started getting to know each other on a more personal level, no one was amused anymore.

I mentioned before I think last week I am budgeting like crazy after realizing how much he spends at work on fast food. Any way whats he go an do? He gets himself a freaking ticket!
So I can't depend on him to be a grown up and pay it. So I called the number the cop circled on the ticket. You basically call the number to ask for the website to go an pay it online. No where on the ticket does it have that website listed. And because I paid it online I got charged a $5.85 fee. And I won't go pay it in person because its all the way in Winnie Texas. It would cost me more in gas to drive there then the stupid fee. The ticket was also $180.
I'm pissed. My son needs jeans and my daughter wanted a new dress for the dance this week. I also need new tires.
Trying to seriously not lose my shit on him.

The excessive spending on junk food I can understand being ticked at. But like...idk, haven't we all gotten busted for a ticket before? I'm sure he didn't intend to. Was it speeding?
@sleepy33 it wasnt even a speeding ticket. It was a wreckless driving ticket.
He was driving the wrong way on the road in heavy rain! He refuses to be organized and be a grown up so he never gets gas before going to work knowing he needs it.
His gas is free because his job provides him with a gas card. So he drives to Winnie texas and his van getd on E so he drove on E for miles like an idiot. Needed a gas ststion before the van died in the rain so he just went whatever way he thought was the fastest which was driving the wrong side of a road in heavy rain.
I told him off about it and how he could have hurt someone all because hes too lazy to pump a full tank of gas before going to work.

@psychobutthead O.M.G. I would have killed him. Seriously, WTF was he thinking?! He's lucky he didn't kill someone.
Exactly! The rain was bad all last week too!
So the overtime he made went to paying the ticket. And it was the first bit of overtime hes made this month.
The 28th is our wedding anniversary so we won't be doing anything since the ticket was almost $200.

I know it's super early still but anyone discussing names yet?
H and I started the conversation last night just for kicks. We are so screwed if this one is a boy. Pretty sure we used up all our names with the previous 4 boys ha!

Yes. We have like 50 girl names and only one boy name. I am fx it's a girl.
@nopegoat We’ve started talking names a little bit! We’ll need all the time we can get to decide on something. DS was easy bc my husband wanted him to be named after him, which I was fine with since I like his middle name, and his name is also my late grandfather’s name. So, I feel like this baby also needs a family name.. I have a girl name I’ve loved since my last pregnancy, but one of our friends’ little girl has the same first name, so I’m torn. Would it be a huge no-no if we still used it?
ETA: It’s not a unique/unheard of name and is a “popular” name, so part of me feels like it might be fine...
@nopegoat yes!! We were set on a girl name before we found out the sex of our first, took forever to settle on DS's name. We're pretty set on names either way now (same girl name as before) @sleepy33 same!! Girls names are sooo much easier than boys names!!!!! @msb615 I'd say go with it!!
@sleepy33 How do y’all have so many girl names?! Names are SO hard for me to come up with haha I feel like it’s a girl for us with how different this pregnancy has been so far from my son’s.
@nopegoat Not best friends by any means, but we consider them good friends. We don’t see them all the time, but will hang out every so often and attend our kids’ birthday parties. They’re also super laid back, so I don’t think they’d be petty about it at least.
I am not looking forward to figuring out a name. It was a huge struggle with both my DDs. We always find girl names easier too, but even then... it's too much pressure!
DD1: June 2014 - VBM4lyfe DD2: October 2016 DC3: coming May 2019
We aren’t considering names yet, but I know it’s going to be a nightmare. DS was so easy to name. We are planning on being team green this round so we need both.

IDK, I think there just are more girl names than boy names, for one thing. And since my first was a boy, maybe I've already exhaustively culled boy names? Not sure. Top of the list for a girl is Sylvia (SO's favorite great grandma who just passed), middle name Kay after my mom (I'm already calling it SylvieK in my head). But I also love Sadie, Lark and Eleanor.
We've been discussing names, but nothing really will come of it until we know the baby's sex. My first kiddo didn't have a name until she was a day old; the second we had named at 20 weeks pregnant. I feel like this one is going to take a while, especially if it's a boy, since we've never seriously talked boy names before.
We have an entire list of girl names and had one boy name that we both agreed on but *TW* we decided to use that name for what turned out to be both MMC's. I feel like the name is cursed and refuse to consider it again. *End TW* So now we have no boy names.
@sleepy33 I LOVE family names, and Sylvia Kay is precious! I like your other names too! If I didn’t feel the need to use a family name, this wouldn’t be nearly as difficult! My girl name from when I was pregnant with DS is Emma Caroline. My great grandmother was Emma Frances, and my granny is Carol, so I’d use Caroline. I thought about using Caroline for a first name, but I’m not sold on it.
Also, my thoughts on the intro thread: I don't know if she's real or someone is very bored, but the end of her first post apologizing if we couldn't read it seemed... strangely self-aware.
@sleepy33 Frances is actually growing on me too, but I’m pretty sure DH would shoot that down, and he’s fairly agreeable with most names I throw at him. 😂
@psychobutthead do you mean E as in drugs??? Or is this something Texas-specific I don't know?
@nopegoat yes! We are mostly talking girl names right now since DS already has our favorite boys name. Also, please no one hate me, but I am hoping this one is a girl. I am THRILLED with a baby either way so there is no down-side, but would love to experience a girl. The one I loved most was Aria, maybe spelled Arya the Persian way but that got ruined pretty quickly. H knew an Aria growing up he didn't like, and he told me the Game of Thrones character is Arya so that goes out the window (I don't watch it). I have been looking at lots of lists but haven't discussed too in depth yet.
@msb615 Emma Caroline is a beautiful name. I think you should use it even if your friend has it, don't let that hold you back! Totally get the hesitation though - I have one friend I would definitely switch names over because she would make comment after comment about how I copied her. Or I would just move away.
@DuchessOfCambridge E as in empty tank of gas. Once again my husband doesn't have a drug problem hes just a man child.

@DuchessOfCambridge I totally get wanting a girl. I wished for a girl with #2 and #3. After 4 boys now I almost prefer #5 being a boy too. Besides the name.. So screwed with another boy name.

@nopegoat we have a few we like but they're likely to change. Right now our favorite girl name is Finley and our favorite boy name is Finn. Definitely not attached to either but just like them right now
@vivereidescent I looked up the names she mentioned and found a legit person with a relative who had a last name that her username could be a nickname of. That said, it doesn't mean that what she is saying is true or even that she is pregnant. It just means the names are real people. I'm trying hard to give the benefit of the doubt but...
