1. My only consistent cravings have been slurpees, sour candy and taco bell. 2. It is 55 in the am and 95 by 3pm. Shoot me. 3. Fall is my favorite season. 4. I'm currently waiting for my fish sticks to cool off to eat. 5. My vp is coming in town tomorrow to train me on something. I'm nervous. 6. I need more mat tops but don't want to spend money. I keep rotating the same 5 short sleeved ones. 7. Dd is watching sesame street right now. MOTY. 8. I'm irrationally annoyed my boss cancelled the other meeting because that meant I had to cancel the panera bagels and cream cheese order. 9. I had 2 lunches today. 10. My alarm goes off at 515 so I can get up by 530.

Where are you? This sounds awful to me!!

Do you have any consignment stores around you? We have some 2nd hand baby stores that have maternity sections that have really great prices!!

I'm so jealous of your two lunches.

jap618 · October 2014

@krystaloowho‌ I don't believe you about the name Ezra either ;-) just saying. But I'm also a PLL fan.

Maternity pants are the best!!! Do it!

stine28 · October 2014

1) I have never had a pedicure or manicure ever.

2) I am seriously considering wearing my one pair of maternity work pants until March. They're black - if they're clean will anyone actually notice? Really?

3) I consider today's dinner of bagged salad and premade pasta & sauce a resounding success. Double success because I cleaned up afterwards.

4) I am deeply concerned that I'm not mature enough to be a parent. See #3.

5) I sleep with my teddy bear, Ted, every night. He probably gets more cuddles than DH. I just like having something in my arms at night.

6) For this reason, I could never cosleep. If I ever mixed up baby and teddy, it would not end well.

7) I just realized that my habit of only trimming my pubic hair is probably the most difficult to maintain in pregnancy. Shaving? Can probably be done blind or by DH. Waxing can be done by a professional. Trimming? No idea.

8) I am probably working only half the time I'm at work. I don't know how I'll make it through to March and be getting anything done at all.

9) This pregnancy seems to have finally made me less greasy, and I can legitimately shower only every second day. I always wondered when the day would come.

10) My friend with a 5-day old is already out of maternity clothes. She ran 5k the week before her baby arrived. I'm really trying not to raise my expectations up to her level, but I can feel it happening. The disappointment is inevitable.

Jenninbaby · October 2014

1. Having a girl hope i can convince the hubs to like a cute girl name like Aria
2. Also a PLL fan
3. Due to previous post want Taco Bell
4. DS is 15 months wearing fleece pjs with little bats on them and little bat ears is way too cute.
5. Working over time was a bad idea for this week, only 4 days to go until the weekend.
6. I need to go to a pumpkin patch stat
7. I want to buy the new baby loads of new clothes.
8. This 10 things challenge is too hard
9. I am too tired and only hope this make sence, my apologies to any one offended by my poor typing and lazy punctuation.
10. I want chocolate

kcbizme · October 2014

1. I'm addicted to Netflix.
2. Piggybacking on #1, my current addiction is The Killing.
3. I love Rice-A-Roni.
4. Rainbow sherbet is a pregnancy staple in my home. I should buy stock in it.
5. Grammar/spelling mistakes make my eye twitch.
6. I knew we were having a boy before we got confirmation.
7. I want to be a midwife someday over the rainbow.
8. I'm looking for a 2nd job. Yes, I know I'm pregnant.
9. Donuts give me indigestion.
10. Originally, I started on the path to becoming a CSI.

Whitfry · October 2014

1. My cat is a troll. He is hiding under the bed, reaching up to knock shit off my nightstand. And he's sneaky about it. I KNOW IT'S YOU!

2. I can't seem to eat lunch these days. It gets to be lunch time at work and I can't even. But I have to eat with my client because we're modeling focus and appropriate behavior.

3. I stopped watching Revenge because it was too stressful and I couldn't deal with it.

4. All this trolling drama on the boards has made me feel stressed out and sad.

5. I'm using the fact that I'm pregnant as an excuse/reason for a lot of things. Like to persuade DH to put up Christmas lights on our house this year.

6. I spend way too much time on Pinterest.

7. I hate Instagram and I quietly judge people who use hashtags.

8. I don't know if I'll ever get the back bedroom cleared out for baby.

9. I judge people who have read and enjoyed 50 shades of gray. I judge them harshly and refuse to be fb friends with them. I understand it's mean and unkind, but I can't help it. That kind of poor taste is a friendship deal breaker. My mom asked me about 50 shades once and I forbade her to read it. Sent her a comprehensive list of well- written erotica to explore instead.

10. I refuse to buy a kindle and my house is full of books. So many books that, despite dozens of bookshelves, we're still out of space and they stack up everywhere.

ashleyrh661 · October 2014

This seems fun!
1. I'm currently drinking hot chocolate and it's delicious.
2. I haven't bought a single thing for this baby. We have most our big stuff left from DS but I still feel like I need to get on the ball.
3. I have bought probably more maternity clothes then I need though.
4. My favorite book is Prince of Tides.
5. My anatomy scan is on Halloween and I'm already nervous for it. We haven't announced on Facebook yet and I keep thinking I will after that. But I can't figure out if I really want the world to know.
6. My favorite TV show is Gavin and Stacy. It's an older British show. You can find it on amazon prime. Watch it!
7. I'm visiting my little sister in San Francisco in a couple weeks and I'm so excited to have some time away. Having a break from mom life is good for ones sanity.
8. My strangest pregnancy craving is peperoncinis.
9. I sent my kid to bed tonight without dinner. He wouldn't eat what I made and I'm trying to get him to eat what we eat and not just cheese and crackers. I feel bad. Mom life is hard.
10. I'm re watching Gilmore Girls. It's not as good as I remembered.

kcbizme · October 2014

@krystaloowho‌ I'm almost through season 2. It's really good so far. If it was a book, I wouldn't be able to put it down.

Edit for spelling.

ruemorgan · October 2014

Hmm ill give this my best shot!

1. My husband and I went to dinner at the diner where we took our first picture at 5 years ago. Can you say throw back? I didnt think to take a current photo of us, but i like excuses to go back.
2. Its not uncommon for me to go days eating only breakfast foods.
3. Im greatly considering taking off weekends at my second job to volunteer at a Great Dane Rescue.
4. I love owls. How basic.
5. Ive worked in a daycare for the last 7 years and knowing what a daycare is like "behind the scenes" has left me wondering if ill ever be happy with whatever daycare I send my child to.
6. Ive grown up, gone to school, and worked in the same 10 miles my entire life.
7. My sister is also pregnant and due the week of halloween!
8. A perfect fall/winter night to me is sitting around our fire pit sipping wine and cooking hot dogs over the fire.
9. Fall and winter are my favorite seasons, bring on the cold!
10. Ive had High Society by Betty Who stuck in my head for almost a week straight.

2. I miss terrible SyFy movies. Cutting the cable was rough.
3. I miss margaritas and cocktails!

kcbizme · October 2014

@Whitfry‌ I resisted the Kindle as long as I could.. but I love it so much! I started using the app on my phone. A lot of times the books are really cheap and you get great deals on them, plus they have free books you can get too. Needless to say, I converted. I still love my real books too!

Whitfry · October 2014

@kcbizme‌
I have no issue with kindles in theory, but I am so addicted to the feel and smell of physical books. I won't borrow them from the library, either. I have to own them. It's like a hoarders sort of thing. I'm a weirdo, I know.

For me there's something so much more satisfying about reading a physical book and having a visual of how far into the book I am / how much is left. Every time I read a book on my tablet I feel a little disappointed like I didn't hype myself up for the climax enough because I wasn't as aware. Then it's just over and I have to find a new book.

My Kindle shows you how much you've read/how much you have left at the bottom.

kcbizme · October 2014

@Carmar3‌ I had a concealed carry permit in South Carolina, and I've taken the class in Texas (where I currently live) but haven't submitted the application yet. I think it's an excellent thing.

Ah, well then a Kindle is probably better than whatever the shit my tablet is. I think it tells me page number but that really means nothing if I don't know the total number of pages.
Oh well, I'll live. I can't justify buying a nicer tablet when I have 4 computers. That's insane. FWP.

Whitfry · October 2014

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for kindles. I'm all for ANYTHING that encourages people to read or accommodates reading habits. I'm just also a book hoarder.

JenLa21 · October 2014

This is fun!

1. I also need maternity clothes. I have a ton, but everything is still too big since I was pregnant in a different season last time.

2. I posted this somewhere the other day, but I'm so proud of it that I'll share it again. I taught DS to drive toy cars up and down my back. He thinks it's great fun, so I don't feel guilty about using him for a massage

3. I have to leave super early in the morning, and DH is out of town. My sister is sleeping over so she can watch DS for me. She snores so effing loud, I can't believe this noise is coming from a human.

4. I can't think of any fun Halloween ideas for us this year. I feel like I'm putting pressure on myself because last year DS (at 11months old) was Beetleguise and DH and I were the Maitlands, and well, it was pretty amazing.

5. DH surprised me a couple weeks ago and told me we were going to Disney World for my bday in December. He actually booked it in June before I got pregnant. So now it's a family baby moon! Yay for Mickey at Christmas time!!!

6. After all the pizza vs Red Robin talk last night, I was craving a fast food cheeseburger... So I did something today that I haven't done in years... Ordered a DOUBLE cheeseburger.

7. Cant wait to go to the pumpkin patch this weekend.

8. I ordered 2 pairs of boots, one I was really hoping to wear to a party on Friday night, but tracking says they will arrive on Saturday

I knew I shouldn't plan my outfit around boots I didn't have.

9. I literally feel like I'm sleepwalking between 3 and 6 pm, but I'm wide awake til 1 on most nights. Whyyy???

10. 12:30 am, and have to wake up at 5:45. I better take the break in my sister's snoring and try to fall asleep.

Cant wait to read more 10 things tomorrow. Nighty night ladies!

blinksmb · October 2014

1. As of last week I have officially seen every single episode of every Star Trek series EVER. Enterprise wasn't easy.
2. As well as every Star Trek movie.
3. I'm pumped to baby proof because one of my cats systematically patrols the house opening all cabinets and drawers.
4. The tall drawers she has to grab the tops and walk backwards on her hind legs. It looks absolutely nuts.
5. I 100% support @stine28‌ 's decision to not wash her pants.
6. I was lactose intolerant pre pregnancy and now I could live on cheese no problem.
7. The idea of eating meat gets more strange with every year that passes not eating it. At almost 10 years I feel like I'm watching exactly what it is. Somebody gnawing on a severed leg. Gross, man.
8. Every time I see SO in flip flops my vagina wants to curl up and die. I'm very vocal about this with him, yet he persists.
9. The same goes for his long johns with basketball shorts combo. Yes, he wears these in public. Sometimes with flip flops.
10. I love dinosaurs. Like A LOT.

Stargirlb · October 2014

1. I've never held a gun
2. I think I live in one of the best places in the world. (Vancouver, BC)

8. i love drawing and painting but dont do it often enough
9. i love fine dining and have always dated men who would take me to expensive restaurants on dates
10. bisexual but all my longterm relationships have been with guys, probably because ive been brainwashed by the patriarchy, and i feel guilty about it.

Joon+ · October 2014

1. It's October in Canada and I am so freaking hot all the time that I have to sleep with a fan a foot away from me.
2. I can't stand to be barefoot and will search for my slippers in the dark to walk the five steps to the bathroom in the middle of the night.
3. I am finally starting to resign myself to the probability that I won't be returning to work pre-baby.
4. I treated myself to my favourite Indian food restaurant for lunch today and it was divine, but I WAY overate and paid for it the rest of the day. Still worth it.
5. I am obsessed with the SF Giants and so stoked that they beat the Nationals tonight. Brandon Crawford makes me swoon.
6. I am also obsessed with Project Runway and I adore Tim Gunn.
7. DH informed me today that he had read in one of his books that babies come out "covered in white stuff". He was so excited to have learned something new on his own.
8. Even if I'm not leaving the house or getting out of my pajamas, I have to have a shower every day.
9. I really want to go and see Gone Girl but I have the book and want to read it first.
10. It's 1:35 a.m. and I'm finally getting tired... Damn late afternoon naps. Night all!

Hahaha, wait wait! What have I committed myself to? I was thinking weekly or twice weekly washings and then i could be both clean AND cheap!

mwerren · October 2014

Your responses are hilarious!
1) I'm seriously getting tired of the 15 bathroom trips I have to take every night preventing me from a decent sleep.

2) I went to the pharmacy today to pick up my zofran, prescribed laxative and prescribed stool softener. The unreasonably handsome pharmacist joked "Funny it's coming out of one end and not the other." I was mortified.

3) Since pregnancy, my hair has gotten greasy. I used to wash every other day, now I have to wash it every day or I look like a Lindsay Lohan mugshot.

4) I find myself crying at the most ridiculous things. Like during an episode of a trash show like Gypsy Sister. WTF hormones.

5) I'm already stocking up on diapers for LO. Husband thinks I am an insane person for this.

6) I secretly don't like the name chosen for LO, but it is a family name and being this is the only child in the family, I felt we were forced into it by our family.

7) My brain has totally checked out since about week 8.

8) I ate an entire dozen breadsticks at Olive Garden the other day and I'm surprisingly not ashamed by this.

9) I have fallen asleep at my desk at work a few times this month. Way to lead by example.

10) Really wanting to go to Disneyland. It's only 15 minutes from me and I have an annual pass-but the thought of all of that walking makes me not go.

cesquer · October 2014

1. It's 3:52 am and I woke up thinking about the leftover Mac n Cheese in the fridge.

2. I am going to a wedding in Jersey this weekend and am thrilled for the mini vacation

3. I am not happy about packing

4. Called my doctor yesterday to ask if I can dye my hair, thinking he would say Yes. He said No! Only with vegetable dye.

5. The only veggie red dye whole foods has is fire-engine red, and I was hoping for a closer match to my former copper auburn color. I have a bad feeling about this.

6. I am considering getting up and heating that Mac n cheese.

7. I like the new ABC show Forever.

8. Worst side effect of pregnancy thusfar: fatty inner thighs. They are touching now and I hate how that feels. Now wearing H's boxers daily to alleviate bad feeling.

9. I am worried my 19 and 16 year old dogs won't make it to March. Can't. Deal. With. Saying. Goodbye.

10. Yep. It's happening. Getting up now. Mac and cheese is calling.
