Hope everyone is having a great weekend!

Race weekend in here so it'll be crazy busy! I'm training a new girl & the sweet little angel didn't push the brewer in all the way, so she accidentally brewed a full batch of coffee all over the counter. Oops.

I woke up to the sound of DS whimpering overt the monitor. I'm glad he woke me up because I had a night filed with weird dreams. I only remember 3 of them. First, I gave birth to the baby at my a/s and s/he was completely healthy but I wasn't allowed to change his or her diaper to learn his of her sex. Then, I was on the case with the law and order suv guys going through a maze of meat lockers. Lastly, I was one of my old room mates who worked for the csi team and as I got to my car I was in a deadly car chase because someone was trying to kidnap me. WTF pregnancy?

jennjilljo · September 2014

@KristinMTBell‌ the dreams are so random. I'm not even sure what to think about them. They're way better than they were with DS, at least now they aren't just terrifying.

aggiebug · September 2014

Good morning! @foxslaw‌ I haven't been able to keep up this week what race?

@jennhillhoite‌ Bahaha those are funny. My weird dreams are realistic enough that it isn't till later that I realize I dreamed that situation.

Yay for Saturday DH is currently running 20 miles so I have the morning to my self. Wahoo.

I have to brag on him some. So I got some really shitty news at work on Thursday and it has been a big stressor for us and I have been an emotional mess since. So I come home from work yesterday (he had the day off) and he had cleaned the bathrooms and mopped the floors because he "knew I was stressed and didn't want that to be another stressor". I almost cried he made me so happy with his thoughtfulness.

@KristinMTBell and @jennhillhoite I had a scary dream last night!! It was about ghosts at my parent's house and it was scary as shit. I woke up so freaked out I actually had to wake DH for a cuddle!!

Oh and @foxslaw I brewed a cup of coffee from my Keurig all over the counter last week... I forgot to put the mug under it!!!

lizzybean · September 2014

My random for the day is that DH felt the baby last night!!!!!

He was so excited he immediately started looking up the history and meanings of the name Audrey and agreed to the name.

I guess he just needed to feel a bit more part of the pregnancy before coming to a decision??

So.... we are officially having an Audrey Caroline!!!

Maple403 · September 2014

Hi everyone. I had annoying and boring dreams last night. I woke up doing math in my head- occupational hazard for scientists.

Anyway, hubs and I are in our hotel for the wedding we are attending this weekend. The hotel website really talked up their breakfasts, and I've been lusting for biscuits and gravy ever since. I woke up starving (and doing math). Breakfast fail!!!!! No biscuits and gravy! The bagels were stale and moldy! I got what I thought were pancakes, put butter and maple on them, only to find out they were egg whites!!!!!! Then I tried to make a waffle on the iron and it came out half done.

I might cry over this. #pregnantladyproblems.

Thankfully there were chocolate donuts.

jennjilljo · September 2014

@lizzybean‌, I've had to wake up DH because I had a scary dream. Last pregnancy I made him wake up and check from under the bed all the way to inside the toilet for snakes after one nightmare. He was so upset but so sweet all at the same time.

That was a love tit of understanding, I'm sorry you had such a bad dream.

BeckyP005 · September 2014

@KristenMTBell thanks for reminding me I need an oil change too

Ahhhhh that is so fun and exciting!! I've had a few kicks that I thought you might be able to feel on the outside, but he hasn't felt them yet. I love the name, too! Audrey is so classy

BeckyP005 · September 2014

@Maple403‌ aww that stinks!! @lizzybean‌ how sweet!

BeckyP005 · September 2014

My mom decided not to have a showered for me. She's nervous won't be able to do by herself..from another country and barely can go clothes shopping w/o her best friend lol.

Pp are telling me I need one. I'm fine w/o one. She will be giving me the $ she would of spent and then some.

Does it look bad on my mom for not having one for me?

RedGiant · September 2014

Today was my morning to sleep in (since I get up with DS at 6:30 every other morning). But I couldn't sleep past 6:50.

I did get to make and eat breakfast in peace though, since DH took DS to Panera for breakfast.

Ok, I checked the acronyms, but I still can't figure it out: what is WK? I see you ladies used it about some posts, but I cannot figure it out. TIA!

jennjilljo · September 2014

@BeckyP005‌, I don't think it reflects poorly on your mom to not throw you a shower. The mother isn't the only one who can and it isn't her implied responsibility.

@RedGiant‌, WK is white knight, the hero of every thread who sticks up for whomever they feel is being picked on or bullied.

jennjilljo · September 2014

@lizzybean‌ I live the name Audrey. Congrats on getting s solid name picked out.

JoJoPlus2 · September 2014

Felt the first "undeniable, holy cow little man" kick last night!! Been feeling him rolling around for awhile, but that first kick made my heart soar! :x

RedGiant · September 2014

@jennhillhoitethanks! That makes a lot of sense now.

@lizzybean I think Audrey is a beautiful name. Also, my go-to sitter is named Audrey, and DS loves her. Might bias me a little

Edit - tag fail

ckimberley14 · September 2014

@lizzybean So excited for you having picked out your LO's name! I'm hoping I get a definite sex determination (well, as definite as possible) next Wed so we can finally nail down a name. And yay for kicks! I think I've felt LO a few times when I've had to pee in the middle of the night, but nothing during the day. I have a feeling I have an anterior placenta.

@Maple403 Love titted the chocolate donuts. I really want some chocolate cake donuts now.

Hey, your not a real barista until you make your first big mess

Smyers2girls · September 2014

Lucky for me, my Keurig won't brew unless there is a cup on it! Or I would have done that a FEW times!

Edit-spelling, haven't had a cup yet.

Paleomama · September 2014

Woke up with a terrible cold, can't breath through my nose. Yuck!!! I have not gotten a cold in awhile. Time for more vitamin c.

Aidan had a great week at school. We are taking him to get queso flameado to celebrate!!!! Bought our first outfit for our baby girl. We are leaning towards the name Zoe. Here is our Facebook announcement. I just posted the picture and someone still asked me boy or girl. I didn't think it was that hard to read. Hope everyone has a great day!!!!

twinklymama · September 2014

@lizzybean‌ cute name, Caroline is a top contender in our house these days.

My Saturday random is that DH was being super sweet and nurturing last night. I was having an excruciating migraine AND stomach pains, and he tucked me into bed, setting up my body pillow just right for me to lay on (he even knew to check the ends of the pillowcase to see which end was softer, how did he know to do that?) And put an ice pack on my neck for me. Then he started massaging my feet! He's never done that! I knew he was wonderful, butstill underestimated! Much better this morning .

aggiebug · September 2014

@lizzybean. I LOVE the name Caroline. I think it would be a front runner if my not so favorite cousin had the name and would definitely think we named our kid after her.

lilybug319 · September 2014

DH thinks ignoring me by playing video games instead of watching a movie with me is getting to me. It's not. He wants me to vacuum and shampoo the carpet where DD spilled milk/juice. I would do it but I'm too lazy today and I told him I'd do it Monday when DD is back at school. Plus I'd like the extra time to myself so I can catch up with the dvr. Is that bad?

lizzybean · September 2014

@aggiebug and @twinklymama thanks! My MIL's name is Carole Ann so the middle name Caroline is to honor her.

Cohensmommy16 · September 2014

@Paleomama‌ I LOVE the name Zoe!

We ran out of milk so no coffee for me this morning.... yay
Also can it hurry up and be October 9th!? I'm so anxious to know if there's a little Porter or Presley in there.

Sounds amazing to me. My dog tracked mud all over out newly cleaned carpet right before my a/s the other day. I just started crying.

AshleySparkle720 · September 2014

My dog felt the need to be little spoon all night. She is 65lbs and strangely needy since I've been pregnant. I woke up with her head resting on my pillow and her paw on my belly. I truly think she's part human. My husband thinks it's weird because he has to put his arm around both of us to sleep now.

foxslaw · September 2014

@Paleomama‌ it's true. I must be a SUPER barista because I make a mess every day. Congrats again on your girl, love the name Zoe!

@lizzybean‌ @jennhillhoite‌ @‌kristenmtbell I've been having super scary/weird dreams too. Blech.

@aggiebug‌ it's one of the circuit of Americas races. The Buda Starbucks is the closest one to the race track & by a bunch of hotels so we get super busy! Not sure which race specifically.

That's sweet. She knows there's a "puppy" in there, she just doesn't know how many. Awww. I heart doggies!

@foxslaw‌ @lizzybean‌ @jennhillhoite‌ I kind of want to keep a dream journal, but if DH ever found it I'd be in trouble. Old boyfriends? Seriously? I've been with DH for 11 years!!!!

Word. You are not alone. I wake up saying .....the fuuuuuck?

@KristinMTBell‌, I'm not sure I want to remember most of my weird dreams. Some of them are terrifying or just too out there.

This has been our pit bull!!!! Since we saved her she's been a daddy's girl, but since I got pregnant she's attached to me at the hip!! Any chance she gets she's cuddling with me and usually lays her head on my bump. DH asked me if it was normal for a dog to be such a baby, then he shook his head and said we are a weird family Lol I've been having crazy dreams about giving birth to things like kittens, enchiladas and grown women...

PeaceofKia · September 2014

Kinley really likes Lucky Charms lol. She's getting down in there!

aggiebug · September 2014

I went for a walk this morning with the pups and decided I felt good enough to jog for a bit. Holy baby bouncing on my bladder. I had to pee as soon as I started. Guess I will stick to walking.

Mrs. Zee · September 2014

I saw that placenta came up on one of the discussions this week when I was catching up last night (conferences cut into bumping!!) and wanted to mention that this past weeks "Extreme Parenting" had attachment parenting and she talked about encapsulation and was even encapsulating a placenta. I didn't make it to the end of the show bc my DVR cut out (booo!) but I am going to try and catch the rest on a rerun or on demand. I am definitely thinking of having this done. I am not woman enough to eat it or drink it.

mandamoochie · September 2014

Will someone tell me why on earth my brother is now friends with my ex fiancé from scotland that I broke up with 7 years ago NOW??

AF9211 · September 2014

@mandamoochie say what now?!

@paleomama I have been battling a cold/allergies/whatever for a while now, and stuffy noses drive me bonkers. I have tried it all (Neti pot, Zyrtec, drain snake), and thus far the most immediate relief I have found is acupressure. You can look up the exact spot (above your eyes on the bridge of your nose) and directions. It takes a bit, but it the only way I have fallen asleep a couple nights.

Also, love Zoe.

I have heard great things about acupressure. I usually go more the natural route as well. I have been trying to use essential oils. Actually I am starting to feel better today so I think it may be working. Yay!!!

mandamoochie · September 2014

Yeah @AF9211‌ I keep getting all these facebook messages about things they are saying back and forth, Especially after the scottish vote this week and im just like WHY??? We broke up 7 years ago and they weren't thay good of friends then?

jennjilljo · September 2014

***Debbie downer***

I'm so effing tired of losing the guys I served with. I've lost more friends in the states than I have overseas. I've been out 4 years. The first year it was 2, last year it was 2 and this year is up to 4. It's BS and is killing me. At this rate I'll have very few "old war buddies" by the time I'm old enough to call them that.

***moment over***

I'm gonna go get some Arby's because I need it.
