@SarahFoley725 You are spot on with her just being super excited. It's why I didn't say anything more to her. I don't want to hurt her feelings at all plus I know my annoyance is probably just hormonal bs. That one d really does looks funny though. I thought it was just me being weird.
When I first read "DD" I was going through all my bump acronyms(dear daughter, dirty delete...) in my head trying to figure out wth you were saying lol. I have really had a brain dead day. I seriously had to resd your podt 4 times before it clicked. I don't like being DD either just becuase I get sleepy at night.
@JLaVO888 My Mom didn't like my son's name at first and did something very similar (tried to pick out his nickname in advance). I went with "you can call him whatever you like, but he will answer to Desmond." And she eventually backed off. She had a similar (negative) reaction to Malcolm, but I think she's gotten over it. Shrug. (She loves Desmond now.)
That said, I agree on the one "d". To me, that makes it a hard "a" (Ay-Dee). I'd stick with 2 to keep it phonetic.

Hahah I was thinking the same! Like, how come @SarahFoley725 doesn't want to dirty delete anymore? I thought she wouldn't have done that sort of thing anyway!
How come some threads just disappear? That double post on first and second tri about an Australian Facebook group is totally gone. How does that happen if we can't DD? Email the BGs?

I have no idea but earlier I swear there was three of that kidney post and then all of a sudden there was only 2. I thought I was going crazy but now I'm thinking maybe I'm not.
Worried about @kynbar5 as well. I'm keeping positive thoughts that she is just busy with holiday madness.
I'm craving Flamin Hot Cheetos and chocolate, which is why I'm still up past midnight, settling down in my recliner for the night, popping apple cider vinegar pills like candy. This heartburn is killing me.
Speaking of DD I totally had a beer last night and it was the best thing I had ever tasted. I'm seriously missing my glass of wine here and there.
The apple pie pretty much was like apple cobbler and was actually amazing. So was the lasagna soup.
I do not want to work tomorrow after a week off. I have 6 weeks until maternity leave and I'm seriously in countdown mode here. It will be nice to log on here regularly again though. Love you all.
DS1 - 9/21/11
DS2 - 7/4/14
DS3 - 2/21/16 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our family of 5 is complete!! Love our boys!
I tried to buy cheese puffs at the store the other day but dh practically roasted me so I left them behind. I have regretted it ever since. Speaking of dh, I am feeling extra grumpy today. Yesterday he said today was going to be all about getting moving on the nursery today. Instead he stayed at the neighbor's until 2 am playing poker and is currently nursing a hangover on the couch. I am taping off the room myself because I am tired of waiting and we are running out of time.
I think I overdid it. I've done not a thing all day, then I decided to go out and shovel the driveway with DH (and let me say there was VERY little light snow- not the nasty heavy crap). I only did maybe 1/4 of the driveway because I was also letting Sherman play off leash, then he got really cold so I brought him back inside. Now I'm nauseous and dizzy/light headed. And I get dh scolding me for going out to help him, yet it's also like pulling teeth to get him to walk ACROSS THE STREET TO THE STORE to get me some sprite. Ugh

So it's DH drama day today is what y'all are saying! Mine has only mildly annoyed me because his parents got him a sound bar for our tv. He installed it which changed ALL of our settings but didn't bother to let me know I had to turn on 500 things to watch tv now. I'm trying to enjoy our time because he leaves tomorrow for 2 weeks.
Naturally I've been having nightmares that my doctor will pull up my ultrasound on Wednesday and be like oh something is wrong you need to have her right now and he won't be here!
My DH is actually not pissing me off today at all. Miracles never cease.
I spent the last three hours cooking dinners and lunches for the week (turkey and veggie tacos, Asian spiced pork and greens soup with noodles, pre-chopping salad fixings, and veggie fried rice with egg) and I still have to do the trash and refresh the wood in the chicken coop. I'm beat.
I was hoping to paint my nails today, but it's not looking good.
Mil Took Ds and I to the big apple circus for the first time today. It was magical seeing his face light up. She even paid for him to have a pony ride in the ring afterwards and he was just in heaven. All that being said reality is setting in that we still have to drive 4 hours home tonight and I have to go back to work tomorrow. I too am beginning to count down the time until maternity leave starts (I figure at most I will be working until February break so 5 weeks and 5 days until maternity leave. How is that even possible!??). Tomorrow is going to be a long Monday!
Ds doesn't understand why I won't put more batteries in his remote control car. It literally takes 10 batteries for the car/remote and if you don't turn off the car and the remote when he is done, the next day you have to replace them all. I never seem to remember to turn them both off
@red3ye rechargeable are you best friend! Dh and I have a million and just rotate them out and into the charger. Worth every penny for the initial investment.
Lol, we are all so mature... the car takes 6 and the remote uses 4. He loves the toy, it really runs over everything keeps going. My sister bought it for 20$ @Stormiewinter we just might have to get the rechargeable batteries. I'll end up spending a small fortune for enough to exchange but I have yet to find anything I would rather spend money on then my boy's happiness
My husband told me I thought you getting pregnant would solve the " I don't know what i want for (breakfast,lunch,dinner). Truth is it hasn't. I haven't been experiencing cravings, but everything sounds good to me!
I made hot butterscotch pudding and ate it with frozen cool wip. Yumm. Also, I am proud of myself. I got the dishes all caught up. Most people hate putting away laundry, I do a good job of keeping laundry washed/dryed/put away, but dishes tend to pile up till we run out of something (usually pots and pans). And then I wine and wash about half of them, make some excuse to leave the rest till the next day. But, as of this moment, dishes/laundry are all put away, floors have been swept/mopped/vacuumed, windows washed, counters cleaned, toys put away (except for the Legos that ds is playing with). Now, I just wanna sleep.... after eating half a box of cereal (dry) as has become my habit lately
lol @alxsa24 I'm the same; my ability to make decisions has gone down the drain with this pregnancy. DH pretty much gets grumpy at me now though because he knows if he asks, there's only one place I'll suggest, because that's pretty much all that ever sounds good to me.
I'm beginning to wonder how in the hell am I going to be able to handle taking 6 weeks after work then going back. There are timed I wish we were millionaires just so I could stay home and not miss a thing with this baby.

I snagged a pack of chicken drumsticks for $1.99 at the grocery store the other night. I have been on the hunt for a good bbq chicken recipe and I finally found it. Link below if anyone else has been looking! Thank you to Pinterest.
So we'd bought a crib and decided to sell it and get something different. A very sweet girl bought it from us and was like oh hey my husband says he knows you from HS! So yeah she married a guy that I dated on and off for several years. The last time I saw him he dropped me off at my house after I had flown out to NC and rode 20 hours home with him for his leave. It was the day before my birthday and he never came back. He did try to contact me about 3 years ago and tried to get me to break up with DH and get back together with him. So yeah he's on his 4th kid with his 3rd different woman. Apparently they live in a shitty apartment and I obviously don't wish poorly on him and certainly not her, but in some ways it is a little satisfying to be doing better and that every time he puts his baby in that crib he will know it came from me.

You know you're a Bump Addict when.........
You remember funny gifs for future reference.
If you met any Bumpies IRL you'd definitely call them by their avatar name even after learning their real name.
