    Question that I don't feel deserves its own SS thread...and I "know" you guys better so I'd rather have your opinions vs Baby Names board.  DH told me he likes the name Brecken over Easton tonight, which is fine, I like the name Brecken too.  However, I used to babysit a Brecken in my hometown and he happens to be a 3rd or 4th cousin.  Not close enough that we do any family stuff together, but our town only has 500 people in it and he's the only Brecken, so would it be weird if we went with that name too? We're not dying to have it, but I can't figure out if we should even consider it or not because of that situation.  
    Do you live in the town any longer?


    Or do you care if you have to answer whether he was named after the other Brecken for the first year or so? It kinda sucks that this happens with more unusual names since no one would question if it was Chris or something equally "common." If you really like it, I'd still use it.
    ----------quote fail--------- I dont live there anymore, but it's only 30 miles away and we do visit home quite a bit. I dont think it would bother me to tell people that we just liked the name and it was just a coincidence that this other kid was named Brecken too. He'll be 5 when DS comes so I was hoping that would help. I think we'll keep it as a possibility just cuz I think it's a cute name and DH finally contributed something! ;) ETA quote fail
    I think it's a fantastic name btw. 

    5 years is a big difference, and I believe Brecken is rising in popularity. I would just go with it. In the 1980's this would have never have been a consideration.

    It was 34° yesterday so I tried to hang my laundry out to dry. After 30 minutes it was frozen. Whoops. Spring can't get here soon enough!

    Also, I know warmer weather will help me eat healthier. The only thing we cook with in the summer are our grills. Can't wait!

    Same with us! And it's so easy to just throw chicken on the grill and get a salad from the garden. Someday that'll be here again right?

    Our school brought in a lady from a local pregnancy center today to teach our middle schoolers sex ed, abstinence, etc. I'm tempted to go act wayyyyy pregnant and scare them all - I've already been getting strange looks from the middle school boys this morning!

    Didn't see a Monday Bitchfest up yet so I'll throw one one here. My sister is planning a shower for a friend of ours, it's this weekend. I asked her if she'd like me to make anything weeks ago, she said yes but didn't know what yet. I asked her again last week, no response. Asked on Sunday  no response till today, she texted "Ask the MTB, she said appetizers." 

    I feel like doing this. [-X

    Don't offer to throw someone a shower and then not even have your shit together enough to have the food organized! Which is the only thing she had to do... There will be no decorations or games which is fine because MTB will enjoy it this way. I just really feel like there should be food! 

    I asked her if I could help in anyway a million times but I am NOT texting the MTB and asking what to make for food, mainly because I don't think she should be the one keeping track of this. Also because we go grocery shopping on Sundays, we are down to one car for the rest of this week  (I'm an awful driver and crashed DH's), and oh yeah we live a half an hour away from the grocery store!

    ALSO! I bought an Ergo as a baby shower gift, it was supposed to be from my sister and I. I made it very clear, I totally understood if she didn't want to split the because she is throwing the shower. Sister insisted I buy it and she would pay half. Haven't seen a dime, tempted to take her name off the card. 

    This is my older sister by 6 years.

    I haven't been with my district long enough to get pay out for my unused sick time at the end of this year (I'm resigning my current position). I was just told that I can not use my sick time as a bloc of time off at the end of this year...like a 3 week of maternity leave essentially. I'm pissed, why the hell not?! I'm going use those days anyways now I just am being forced to take one day off at a time.
    Grrr I mean really?!?!  I'm pissed!

    I was going to post a labour buddies thread soon (I'm not sure we're quite there yet) and start pairing up. I know some aren't really interested in it or don't get the concept but I just think it's cute havin a buddy. So, I know I'll be doing it.

    ETA: also let's not forget. We agreed to have a labour thread so there aren't a bazillion posts about who's in labour and who thought they were in labour.

    I am in the group of not really getting the birth buddy thing :/

    These days it is just as easy to post a short note as it is to text/pm someone about what's going on.... No?

    That being said I am not saying it's a terrible idea, I am just confused!

    I get that! But I just want to do it because it seems like a fun bonding experience along with tradition. My reasoning isn't the same for everyone else though. I just think it's neat to have someone announce "guess what you guys! So and so is havin a baby!"

    :)
    Well if you put it that way then how can anyone disagree :)

    So what happens...you ask a random person if they want to be be BBs?  Like asking someone to the prom?  What happens if you get rejected?  What happens if someone asks you and you've never associated with them at all on here?  I comment on a lot of stuff, but I'm not butt buddies like some posters.  Sounds like a popularity contest but maybe because I know that I won't end up with one.


    Totally my thought.  I thought about the obvious gym class analogy, or the "OMG IM THE LAST ONE ON THE BUS AND NO ONE WILL LET ME SIT WITH THEM" comparison, both of which happened to me regularly (the bus, every day- I was the last stop) and this gave me instant anxiety.

    Me too @bullybutt and @allietz, I was last in gym class, unless one of my other gangly nerd buddies wound up being Team Captain (by sheer luck of the draw).

    Not sure I want to be anyone's buttbuddy :/ I figure once all the nice and pretty people have teamed up the rest if us can find other weirdos :)
    Can I be labor buddies with ALL the weirdos?

    I need to stop buying maternity clothes. This is my second, and last pregnancy. I just can't stop myself. I love them and hate looking like a slob 
    Me too!!!!! It's my second and last and I just bought more. In fact, I seem to hate everything I saved from my first pregnancy and I just keep replacing it!
    I also can't stop.  Ahh!  Also, reading this earlier this morning (while I was mid pity-party for myself) I randomly thought I should swing by the Motherhood Maternity outlet near me.  I retail therapy'd the heck out of that place.  I hope I'm really done now.  *fingers crossed*

    ETA:  Also, that was my first time ever trying on A Pea in the Pod clothes .... I could have done without discovering how ridiculously comfortable and awesome their clothes are.  Sorry bank account :-/

    So, I'm kind of addicted to reading June/May BMB Birth Announcements. I want to know what to expect or, God forbid, what might happen if I were to deliver super early. Got me thinking about how our BMB will be handling the birth announcements and if we are going to plan on having birth buddies. I would freak out if one of you just disappeared and we had no idea how you were!!!

    No, I'm not suggesting a FB group. Douse those flaming swords. Just taking a temperature on if we still plan on doing birth buddies?
    Can I call @SarahVol131 as my BB? Haha. I'm totally down with doing birth buddies. I think it's nice to have someone let the board know what's going on so we can receive all the positive vibes possible during delivery.

    @Jessa8907 I would LOVE to be your birth buddy! I will post an awesome "Headed to L&D" announcement for you! Although, I have to warn you mine might not be as exciting with an RCS!

    Do you need a hug? Wanna hug it out? Let's hug it out.

    I wasn't suggesting it to alienate anyone, it's been brought up a couple of times. I'll be multiple birth buddies if people aren't matching up well. I just thought it'd be a nice chance to talk it out, see what people think of it.

    P.S. I don't make lanyards and I don't look at mucus plug pics. So, keep that in mind when the time comes.

    Yeah I can birth buddy more than one person too! If folks need someone!
