August Siggy Challenge

PoppySeedWindsor · July 2014

Okay, so this one might seem a bit...out there...but I think it'll be really fun.

As we all are fairly capable of doing math and recalling memories and stuff, we all know that THIS time LAST YEAR was the time we were all peeing on sticks and reacting somewhere in between this:

and this

Whether stoked or scared, all of us here went through nine months of this

And, during times of hormonal swings, telling our SOs this:

Sooooo let's commemorate that! This month's theme is "This time last year." Post a picture of yourself last year, a gif, anything that celebrates the day you found out you were carrying that bundle of joy that is now a three-month-old pooping, peeing, crying, chubby monster face.

The only rule is NO PEE STICK PICTURES. Cause I mean, who wants to see that, right? Post a pee stick pic and I'll have to be like:

HAVE FUN!!!

Done! DH and I excited that we didn't have to actually try for our peanut, and that my friend and I were pregnant at the same time!

It might be just a little too hard to resist an Anchorman quote...

eireyes · July 2014

@jellysparkles I'm somewhat sad that this GIF didn't make it into your siggy:

I also already miss the cake...

mamahann · July 2014

Done! My first one

allyandmike24 · July 2014

Damn youuuuuu @mamahann.

edoliesmom · July 2014

I can only see two people's sigs (mobile), so hopefully this one hasn't been chosen. I'll add it to my sig later!

This is my default gif for everything!

ambarnett1 · July 2014

Done. We were VERY surprised to say the least. Love my bubba though

allyandmike24 · July 2014

Done! It was our first month TTC and we didn't find out until the third week in August, so we were ....very actively trying

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

I. Got pepper sprayed at work that night. Not sure how to commemorate that. Also made a cop very very scared of me.

I love this challenge!

smushi · July 2014

Any idea how to resize gifs?

smushi · July 2014

@acers Where do you click the gif? On the link, or once you've applied it to your siggy?

MamaFantastic · July 2014

This challenge is fun! I've never given two hoots about sig challenges before but I might change my comp settings to show sigs for a bit so I can enjoy this one

Good job, Poppy.

I'm glad people are enjoying this one!

Here's mine:

Rogue237 · July 2014

After DH and I had gone 34 and 29 years, respectively, never having any scares and with my medical history, we thought we'd be trying for awhile. When we got knocked up in the first month of trying, we were like:

MadBloom · July 2014

I'm not as active now but I totally want to make my own gif of my mom flipping out on video.... Fingers crossed it's not difficult!

MadBloom · July 2014

I might be the smartest person ever by the way. lol.

Yeah Adventure Time!!!!

MrsZ0811 · July 2014

I'll play along!

No BFP until late Aug but at my BFF's wedding on the 3rd this was totally me!

smushi · July 2014

Rats, it doesn't give me a resize option

Maybe since I'm on a mac?

RedDawnsRevenge · July 2014

I had a positive test on July 26th but had a mid month baby. I told DH there were two lines on the test and went to work. Apparently DH didn't understand what that meant. I hadn't expected to have to tell anyone I was expecting for a while since I had just started at that hospital. Also I didn't know I was so scary to cops.

Nope, I'm on a PC but I've never been able to figure it out either.

SoulTermination · July 2014

This one will be mine. I never intended to be a mom, heh.

smushi · July 2014

Nope, I wish... It treats mine like text only.

SoulTermination · July 2014

Nope, but I also didn't copy the link from Properties, I just hit Copy Image URL, so maybe that has something to do with it...

This is what I do. I'll try doing the properties thing. I use Chrome. IE sucks. Maybe I should try Firefox...

allyandmike24 · July 2014

@smushi I'm dying over your conversation. "do you want to leave it in?"

)

smushi · July 2014

@allyandmike24 that's about how it went too. We had been talking all summer about starting TTC (we'd been using the pull n pray for 5 years). Then in late July I was like let's give it a whirl. DH was so excited to get lots of leave it in sex. Little did he know it'd happen so fast.

RocksInTheWater · July 2014

I use chrome but have to use Firefox to do anything with my siggy, including resizing photos/gifs.
