  • My dad just informed me that he change our family phone plan and my payment is going down from $50 to $35! PLUS I get free international texting!
    What carrier?
    AT&T the family value share plan. $175 a month for 5 smart phones unlimited talk and text (including international text) anf 10MB data to share (he looked at our data usage history and we never go anywhere near 10MB since most of us use the internet at work or at home where we are connected to wifi)

  • @BiggerinRealLife‌ I'm so sorry for your loss. Big hugs to you!!!

    @jennypenny1014‌ congrats!!! She is just perfect and I love her name!

  • Ah so much to catch up on!

    @BiggerinRealLife‌ I'm glad you and your family got some peace.

    @jennypenny1014‌ so happy for you! I love Evie! That was on our short list.

    I don't have a labor buddy either. I might just have DH post a few updates in the RTT. But I'll gladly AW someone if they need one!
  • @snmetz7‌ 2 things. 1) that phone plan doesn't allow for phone upgrades. I'm 90% sure that's what DH found when he looked into it. So you have to pay full price for a phone whenever you want a new one. There's no 2 year "upgrade" deal. As for the brewers yeast, I never actually ordered any last time, so I can't help there. I haven't looked into it yet for myself either.
    the upgrading isn't a huge deal for me, I  can't remember the last time I got a new phone and the "deals" on smart phones are crap anyway. Plus best buy does interest free. but thats good to know thanks!

  • I don't have a LB either (never signed up to find one) so if anyone needs one, just whistle! Canada here, so I'm not sure about international text charges.  
    My LB is in Canada- you guys should be LBs because I'm the WORST LB and I shouldn't have one, plus our due dates are only a couple days apart. She's @Lauraa00 if you both are interested. I feel gross like a pimp, but if it worked out better then I'm happy.

    @BiggerInRealLife sorry for your loss.

    My dog developed a new bark last night.  She's got her "I need to pee bark," her "Please throw the tennis ball bark," her "OH NO I lost the tennis ball in the rose bushes and can't get it back bark."  Now she has the "tattle tale" bark.


    I roll out of bed to figure out what she's barking about and she leads me straight to the laundry room, where DH has left the door open and the cat has knocked over the trash and is redecorating himself and the rest of the room with DH's leftover BBQ.  Good dog!
    My dog doesn't bark, we started telling him to speak and we mimic a bark and he tries, but he just won't bark...

    We taught our dog to speak by telling him "speak" and making the hand motion we chose over an over until he would do all his other tricks with no reward. He eventually got frustrated and barked, then I'd give him the treat.
    He also sits by his bowl and says "please" for dinner. It's more of a cry or whimper than a bark. Unless we ignore him for a while, then he barks like "I want food now!" instead of please.

    I wish I could get him to sing along to the piano. But he never howls and just lays on my feet, blocking the pedals instead.

    His favorite game/trick doesn't involve barking at all though. He freaking loves playing hide-n-seek. He doesn't hide unless you tell him where to go (like "Indy, go hide in your crate!" or "under the bed"), but he is a very good seeker. I tell him to sit and stay in the laundry room, go hide, and yell out "Go seek!" and he will search the house to find me. I can also tell him "Go seek dad" if I'm looking for DH and DH can have him "Go seek mom" to find me. I figure this would be an great trick in the event of an earthquake or something. My dog will come find me.

    ETA: I strapped a camera on his back one day when we played hide-n-seek together, so I'm AW-ing my dog with this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RAdhv8fEaf8



    That's SO COOL! If I get a dog I'm totally doing that. How did you teach him that?

    Once he had learned sit and stay, we used those in the starting spot (laundry room for us, becuase he can't see where we go hide). I hide then yell "Go seek!" and let him roam around for a bit. If he was taking too long, I'll yell it again. I have treats with me, so when he finds me I give him one and a bunch of pets and praise. I'd start out in plain sight in a room, like sitting on a bed or in a chair or whatever and made the hiding spots progressively more difficult. Behind the door, in the shower with the transparent curtain, put a blanket over me, under the bed, in the closet, etc.

    To get him to hide, he had to learn the names of certain places in the house. He knew "crate" and "fort" (under the bed) already so we started there and just told him "Go hide in the fort!", put a treat under there for him and told him to stay. Once he got the concept of hiding and staying, we taught him more locations like under the table, under the piano, on the couch, and in the closet. But he will only hide where I tell him to hide usually. If you don't specify, he goes to his crate.

    I hope he can play with DS someday. I'd AW the shit out of a video of that to everyone.
    How did you get him to differentiate between people when seeking?  I bet I can get Kodi to figure this out to find me, but it'd be cool to get her to find DH too.

    Me neither.  My sister and BIL always have the newest phones.  To me its such a hassle transferring contacts and trying to figure out how to use a new one that often.  Hell, i can barely be bothered to upgrade my software.

    I wish I didn't read the home birth thread..

    Oddly enough it made me feel better like labor can't be that shitty if she did it all at home and it only sucked the last 10 minutes.
    This was my thought too. Oddly comforting!
  • I think my whole house is covered in a thin layer of snot at this point. :((

    My whole classroom too. There is something going around. Lysol is my buddy.
  • For the first time in my pregnancy I am actually considering skipping the cake being offered at work this afternoon. I'm super tired and not sure I can stay awake until the party at 1:30.

    I feel like such a bad A14'r.....
  • I've been walking my dogs 2 miles everyday, but at the end I have to walk up a steep hill to my house. Ive been using that to practice labor breathing. But today I'm actually considering diving my car down to the bottom, walking from there and then returning to my car to drive back up.
  • More hugs BIRL!!! I tex you the rest of the squishes for you and fam.

    Is that the flared one you mean? Either one I would get cropped. I think I' starting to lean towards that one too.

    SOOOOO officially the grossest thing happened to me last night out of anything either pregnancy. 

    I woke up in a panic last night because I woke up on my back choking on liquid.  Apparently heart burn made me throw up a little in my mouth and then I choked on.  Luckily I woke up and swallowed the burning gross fluid in my mouth instead of dying of throw up.  But my heart was racing a million miles per hour.  :-&



    I had that a few months ago. It sucks!!!! Sorry you had that happen.
