I had a crap morning. Stated out great, on time and everything but then Jamba Juice was only taking cash (which I never carry) because their system was down so I didn't get my smoothie and apple cinnamon oatmeal. Then I got stuck in the parking lot traffic from the poorly laid out Starbucks drive thru, and parking is a joke at my office so it took me 10 mins to find a spot. And of course I'm playing catch up from working out of town the last 2 days. Urgh.

Uuugh parking at my office is a nightmare as well, I'm sorry.

I bought 2 pairs of stretchy maternity pants. Not quite yoga pants because it's softer thicker material and let me tell you ladies... I am in heaven!

Where did you find them?

1 3) I hate the movement threads. I didn't feel my first until 22.5w and I wasn't freaking out. Get a grip. All I want to say is "unless you're bleeding and cramping your baby is FINE so stop freaking out for no reason. Babies don't just magically disappear from your belly and make you un-pregnant." But I refrain because there would be that person who has a late missed miscarriage or something and I would feel like a flaming asshole.

I feel like a total asshole for freaking out last week and calling my OB, thankfully they didn't make me feel like a crazy crack head. But, I still feel dumb for freaking out I hadn't felt the baby move in a few days.

Mmmmmmm Jamba Juice.... I miss having them on every corner like in CA. We just got one here, but it's downtown and there is no good way to stop in and grab something. If I worked downtown it would be heavenly, but it's a horrible location if you want to just go there quick and grab something. I'm very upset about it obviously, because Jamba is my favorite.

My Mom is giving me shit for not registering at Wal-Mart. I hate wal-mart why would I reg there?
I'm sorta considering it only bc they have a few Disney baby things I love...same with kmart. It might be easier to just give my mom or someone a list for those few items I want, because otherwise my registry at BRU should be sufficient.

To each their own, I didn't realize they offered items exclusively in their stores so that makes sense.

I'm reg'd at Amazon so I can use their universal registry system . It allows me to register at local stores and gives them business while making it easier for people to shop. I also can specify that I will take used items and they can still select it off my reg.

...I'm a closet hipster.

Today at the PX food court I saw this couple that was pushing a baby carriage. I was really excited because it looked as if the person in uniform was a woman, meaning they were a lesbian couple, in the army and with a baby!

Nope, the guy just had some girly features to him. Whoops! Sorry, bro!

Also, I think it's kind of hilarious that the weight thread made to make ppl understand they shouldn't stress, has slightly turned into a debate.

@ColleenSwerb I saw that coming as soon as I read the title. I read the OP, read your comment, and went, "That's all that needed to be said." and stopped reading. I knew the next however many pages would just be repeated nonsense. ::: biggest eye roll of all time :::

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE POST ANOTHER THREAD ABOUT WEIGHT???

Especially about how thin they are still.

I want to read it while I eat my cake!

katieharpiceland · November 2013

DH and I just completed our tradition of going to the 200 krona store (like a dollar store) and purchasing the weirdest/worst/slightly messed up Christmas decorations they have. We got a creepy snowman, a pathetic wreath, and those weird pills you put in to water that magically give birth to random sponge shapes. The Christmas sponge pills are for our Christmas video we make every year. We make up ridiculous synthesizer songs and then make a video. Last years video was entitled "Christmas Robot."

Lol let's start one where we brag about our horrible eating habits and praise each other for them. I've been eating a cupcake for breakfast every day since I made cupcakes! We can also share meal/snack ideas

A new threading/waxing salon opened nearby and the prices are freaking FAIR! I might go take care of all my lovely pregnancy body hair before Christmas. Including getting my face threaded.

Ok seriously though, nobody warned me about how ridiculously hairy I would be getting. Why isn't my real hair growing as fast as the rest of it? I had no idea taking a mini shaving vacation would be such a nightmare-yikes. Poor DH, and poor guy having to rub my legs at my pedicure yesterday. :-S

snmetz7 · November 2013

its a coworkers birthday and we have cake! im so ready to dig in but they wont cut it until eVERYONE is back from lunch! give me cake!

Eija3014 · November 2013

I wish I knew how to make a french braid. I think they are so pretty but I don't know how to do it.

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

We're having previews for our Christmas concerts this week. My headmaster is loving the singing and praising the students and me for how lovely they sound. I'm cringing inside because I know she's not musical and can't hear that half my classes are flat, or off key, or discordant. It hurts my ears. But at least she's happy. I just hope she's not in for a rude awakening when parents actually hear the singing.

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

@KendraColeslaw great new profile pic!

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

@Eija3014 it's the same as a regular braid, you just add hair as you go!

@BiggerinRealLife that's what I thought! But every time I try it comes out horribly

So I always think I'm doing it wrong. I just need practice I guess.

I'm filling out my jury summons response. Question #36 "Do you have a medical condition which will make it difficult or impossible to serve as a juror and you want to be excused?"

I'm REALLY tempted to check "Yes" and tell them I'm pregnant and I can't sit and listen to a trial or hearing if I have to get up to pee every 20 minutes. And that I get hungry often and their stupid crappy deli lunches aren't gonna do it. [-(

Just be careful they might tell you to come back in 6mos and then people will judge you and tell you that you're a poor citizen for skipping out on your duty for your child.

I can't ever do them on myself

but i can do them on others thanks to youtube

Eija3014 · November 2013

@aronie82 that is most definitely the level I am at right now! It looks precisely like a 4 year old attempted to do something to my hair and failed haha

@snmetz7 I was wondering if YouTube might help. I just might go looking for an instructional video

katieharpiceland · November 2013

@Serenla Ready to embrace the ridiculous??? hehe. (I totally know the robot is a nutcracker, but, it also totally looks like a robot.)

@Sisimama10 Ooh, tell me how Bring Back Beatrice is! I need some new ideas.

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

@kbuckleyharp HOW DID YOU POST A VIDEO?!? I never can do it!!!

katieharpiceland · November 2013

@BiggerinRealLife I just posted the link to youtube and the video shows up. But, I'm not on mobile? Maybe that makes a difference?

How do so many people have names picked out for their babies?! I'm so bad at this.

THING 1 IT IS!

It was so easy for me to pick a name with DD. Now having a son it is impossible!

@biggerinreallife
I like it so far. It has a little write up about each name. Some facts about it, popularity, warnings that it's a co-ed name but more popular for one sex over the other, etc.

snmetz7 · November 2013

i went though every name on the bump baby name finder and came up with a list of 50 that i could possibly live with then hubs and i got it down to 8.... i woke up this morning and marked another one off the list.... but i still have 7! at least we still have about 4-5 months to figure this out

We've narrowed it down to 6 but DH isn't ready to decide from there yet.

I want to name my baby!!!

If I learn to post videos on here, you're all gonna get an overdose of my random 20-second YouTube videos featuring my cats. Like the series "Weird things my cat eats" or "Scaring my cats while in costume 2013 compilation."

Is this a bad thing?

MissWhis · November 2013

I really don't give a crap if someone mistakes my future baby for the wrong sex. It's a baby - they all look baldish and squishy! Who the eff cares?

I really don't get why some people are so concerned about this. I find it extremely annoying.

BiggerinRealLife · November 2013

@Jellysparkles Naming BOYS is a PITA! Girls I've got! Maybe we should share lists.

Twirple · November 2013

I've been reading this thread on and off for the last 3.5 hours and I finally got to the end! (for now at least)

I have been having so much fun cooking with my son this week. In the last few months, he has decided that he doesn't like potatoes except french fries. Two nights ago, he helped me prep the vegetables for the crock pot roast chicken we had for last nights dinner. He helped me put all of the chopped veggies, including potatoes, into a big bowl so they would be ready to put in to the crock pot yesterday morning. Last night as we were eating, he bragged to daddy about helping to make dinner, and ate almost all of his potatoes!

katieharpiceland · November 2013

I took a nap today, at 2 and woke up and thought I had slept until like 10:00 PM. It was 4:00. The dark days are among us. No more naps without an alarm :-D

snmetz7 · November 2013

ok added name list to siggy in case anyone wants to chime in.... or wait should I start a whole new thread?

Emily041285 · November 2013

Recently, as in the past week, strangers have been asking if I'm pregnant and I just chalked it up to the shirts I've been wearing giving it away. Well I was at a networking event last night and someone just posted a pic of me on fb...holy crap do I look different! Strange that you don't notice that every day.
