@JessieAlbin‌ how mean of him to record you in your sleep! I would be mortified. Guys have such cruel senses of humor!

My child is using my kidneys and spine to push himself outward, giving me a pointy tummy. It's agonizing. Walking around bouncing is the only thing that will stop him. I look totally crazy bouncing around my living room, but IDGAF. 8-}

I only hit love it because this is me. I am not loving this new turn in movement. Calm down baby!

Pregsomnia plagues me. I'm just laying here trying to sleep but I just can't. My feet are too warm and baby is wiggling away.

Ansel Elliott!

Agreed. Never had it with my first pregnancy. Humility is asking SO for help with pants and socks every day. I had to ask DD to help me get my pants off for nap this afternoon. I cannot pick my feet up off the ground one at a time for any reason. Even walking requires me to shuffle my feet instead of lifting them. I cannot wait to walk normally again and resume normal human activities.

All the name polls got me back into search mode for a middle name togo with my fav first that will convince DH. I think we may have a winner! Serious texting is happening now while he is at work.

My fav has been Elliott since I came upon it, but DH has been gunning for Henry (ala David Thoreau). I noticed our wall art while returning from a pee break and thought "Duh! Ansel!" It flows great, is unique without being weird, has a prominent namesake that DH approves of, is not the same number of syllables, has no built in nickname, and has the L sound DH said he would want without being an L name... basically all of our requirements, because we have crazy requirements like that.
DH seems to have taken such a liking that he wants it as the first name now.

So, Elliott Ansel or Ansel Elliott?

ETA: Last name is a 3-syllable L name, very jewish sounding... think Annie Leibowitz.

I think both sound good. Hard choice.

Does anyone watch Chicago PD? Just started it bc of bed rest and I'm loving it. Lots of episodes on On Demand.

Ansel Elliot to avoid the "-L" from Ansel blending into the "L-" of your last name.

ETA: Well, I guess you'd still have the blending problem if you used it as a FN since most people don't say the middle. Hmmm... Maybe Elliot Ansel in that case. It depends on whether you prefer to prioritize the flow of the full name or the flow of the first and last name. I think I favor Ansel as the FN though.

I am sitting in my glider, feet up and shirt above belly (its scratchy but I cant be assed taking it of) so belly is showing. DH walks in with a drink, and is literally staring at my belly. I ask what is up, and he said "Just checking belly button status" (I still have an inny)

DH has become obsessed with my belly button. Its really creepy!

DH likes to check and mess with my belly button...it bugs! I'm still an innie, but a shallow innie. He took great joy in poking my belly button yesterday helping me clean the ultrasound gel off my tummy at the perinatologist. I about smacked him!

ahhh the poking!!! I hate it when he pokes it!! feels strange and is so gross!! males eh!

Yes! I feel like he's punishing me for the Klondike bar I ate earlier

Seriously. My baby better come out earning money as a mime for all the pushing against the box she's doing in there. It freaking hurts. Have you all been going through this for weeks? Because this is new to me at week 34.

Oh yeah the pushing is annoying! the push and swirl is really uncomfortable!

Hi ladies!!
(Randomness)
I really miss the awesome sleeping/napping that I did in the second trimester. Sleeping now just sucks!! (End vent) [-(

@Sisimama10‌ - chicago fire is even better!

cgoldian · March 2014

A friend of mine had her baby yesterday- three weeks early. That would be next week for me! This thought does not help my pregsomnia.

pineconey · March 2014

DH is afraid of going near my nipples. Poor guy thinks that he alone has the power to induce labor.
News flash- if baby isn't ready no amount of nipple/sexy time/herbs, etc is gonna make it hit the eject button. But thanks for playing!

I just smile and nod when you guys start talking temperatures. I have NO idea how to convert Fahrenheit to Celsius.

Crude way to estimate °F to °C: °F - 32 ÷ 2
Do the opposite to crudely convert °C to °F: °C x 2 + 32

It's not exact, but it'll get you in the ballpark by a degree or 2.

There are a couple riff raffers sitting on the curb across the street from our house. The poor dog won't rest until they are gone.

MegJ17 · March 2014

A week away is too much to catch up on. Hope you all are doing well and there have not been too many T&P requests. I'm exhausted trying to keep up with my girls. And I'll AW here for a sec. Or not. Guess I can't attach a pic on mobile.

Anyone else having trouble adding gifs/pics to posts? I used to be able to just copy the image into the text box and it would post but now it just shows up blank...? What am I doing wrong?

Sorry, as a pilot, all the crazy theories on the missing Malaysian airliner have been annoying me so much. This is the only article I've read that makes sense. It fits with the basic emergency principles that we teach even to the brand new student pilots I work with. I've repeated "Aviate, navigate, then communicate" more times than I can count and that is exactly what it looks like the pilot did. I hate that people think "terrorism!" just because the crew didn't make a distress call. If your plane is on fire, it's way more important to get in a position to land and to shut off the source of the fire (if possible) than it is to make a radio call.

Ok, rant over. But seriously, this guy is smart and most news outlets are not.

But now they are saying that the co pilots sign off was 12 minutes AFTER the plane turned around.

I hadn't heard that yet. Definitely a weird twist.

You guise, its obvious! Giorgio to the rescue!

speechie517 · March 2014

5am pee break....not even trying to go back to sleep. I have some catching up to do here!

snmetz7 · March 2014

@irisheyez7‌ you now have to copy image location on your pic or gif. Then come to the text box and click the picture symbol and paste the link enter and it should show up.

katieharpiceland · March 2014

Volcanic predictions are usually bullshit, but, I don't like that they are putting signs up. Is it totally selfish that all I'm thinking of is that my parents/baby gets here first??

https://icelandreview.com/news/2014/03/19/hekla-volcano-eruption-hazard-signs-put

Yea, its pretty selfish. I don't care though.

:-S

sking72 · March 2014

It's sunrise so since we have no blinds or curtains in our room I'm waking up. It's hard to be mad about it thought because its gorgeous. Plus my dogs are all snuggled up against me and I love that. Hope everyone has a great start to their day!

spano41 · March 2014

Wide awake eating popsicles at 4am. I wish there was something to watch on tv, so many infomercials and I can't think of anything to watch on demand.

KatieGummow · March 2014

I am a little jealous of people who feel comfortable sharing naked belly pics. I wish I was that confident.

P.s. this new name thread looks promising.

Oh dear, it's too early for this...bostyn? Really? My wit can't come up with anything sarcastic right now, ill have to think on it.

babylove4414 · March 2014

Has anyone watched that Huggies video called "watch Amber's Surprise Hug" advertised on TB homepage (can win Huggies for a year and fly someone in)? Yeah totally just cried over that.

OH my god I should go and do something. Like go to a baby store and buy some stuff I need. But no, I'm just sitting here, doing nothing.

35/35 Today! I couldn't sleep for anything and I do NOT want to go to work today. That is all.

I'm 35/35 too! I'd like baby to stay in until after my shower in a couple weeks, then I should be "ready"

Edit: I've been having a hard time going to work after sleepless nights too... Good luck!
