  It's 9am here. I've already had a Kit Kat. Anybody else?

  Not a kit kat (sadly), but I've already had a handful of Cadbury Mini Eggs. They went well with coffee!

  All my whining about discomfort is currently on hold while my mum recovers from knee replacement surgery. I feel so awful for her! Although I do enjoy the pain-med-influenced middle of the night Facebook status updates from the hospital.
  
  Random sidenote: I cannot believe my mum gave birth to SEVEN children. Was she out of her freakin' mind?? My Dad posted a random old photo of her on Facebook the other day holding my sister (her 4th child) and looking beautiful and put-together but also like she was literally on the verge of falling asleep sitting up. Then I did some quick math and realized she must be 28 in the picture. Younger than me! And by the time she was my age she had FIVE kids. I'm pretty sure 2 kids will be the death of me but I guess that's...encouraging?

  I was upstairs in the office looking for an envelope, & in a drawer found a Swarovski gift bag, full of tissue paper. I wasn't even planning on getting H anything for Valentine's day, aside from some chocolate. Damnit, I'm a shitty wife. Now I have to figure out something for him!!

  Hubby felt baby girl move for the first time last night!!! We were lying in bed talking about how dumb our cat is, when she kicked my belly and he immediately flipped out. She's been moving in there for a solid 3 weeks, but he hasn't been able to feel her till now

  I am upset with H right now. Any V-day plans I was considering are now off the table. Fine by me. Here's my new Vday card idea.

  @gray51015 I am also working on a box of GS cookies- Samoas are the best second (or third) breakfast. @CourtJack - I LOVE your card idea! Will you be selling those in the US too? I definitely need to pick one up for H

  Last night I was sitting in bed with my 8 year old, reading him a story and chatting before he went to sleep.

  I sneezed, I peed a little. I tried to hide it, but he totally busted me and was like "Uh, mom - did you just pee your pants?". And I had NO IDEA what to say. I was like, uh oh - yup! Just a little bit! I better go now - good night!"......sigh. Another tiny slice of my pride chipped away by pregnancy.

  I'm at the auto store picking up some parts for our car (for the third day in a row mind you because they keep ordering the wrong part). Within a 10 seconds of walking through the front door the guy looks at me, then down at my belly and jokingly says "One too many beers huh". I'm not even that huge yet (at least I don't think so), but I was a little taken aback that he had the balls to comment on my size. Da fuck man.

  What are your thoughts on me making a post about Labor Buddies? I know we had discussed just keeping it here but I know there are some regular posters who don't post in this thread. I want to be clear that when I am pairing people as buddies I will be going into each individual persons posting history and pair people accordingly. That way I hope to avoid some of the concerns about being paired with someone you don't recognize or that you wouldn't consider a regular. Also, if there is someone you have in mind you more than welcome to request them.

  Come sit by me! Haha, thanks. My problem is that sometimes I think of something sassy to say way after the event has happened, and just give the death stare and an eye roll in person. Not as satisfying.

  My current random is that I've eaten half a huge bag of baby carrots in the last 15 minutes. This child is going to come out orange....or as a jar of salsa, if my current cravings continue.

  @mamanicoleof3 at least it's baby carrots.  We keep getting Valentine candy from vendors delivered.  I don't even like chocolate, but apparently the baby does. 
  
  So I downloaded this new app: Photofy.  And there a pregnancy pack that you can buy that adds words to your bump picture.  Now I'm going to be OCD about taking my weekly bump pictures.  Gotta make sure I have my $2 worth.

  This is really cute.    But how the hell is a papaya smaller than a grapefruit?  I've never seen a papaya that small....H buys the giant ones so he got all excited when I said baby was the size of a papaya.

  @mkemommy I have no clue! I think that's what the Bump says too!  We don't eat papayas so we are complete not in the know the week.

  That is what ice cream is for, silly.  Ice cream can be eaten even with a sore tongue...in fact it has magical healing powers.

  @fishwife799 that's a toughy. I tried to pm you thru the mobile app but idk if it worked since I'm mostly mobile. You don't wanna leave people out, but you also don't want to invite all the randoms. Maybe we could think of a title for the post that only mostly regulars would open?? Hmmm.

  1) We had dinner an hour ago... and I purposefully didn't get full so that I could have Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal after...onto my cereal craving!
  
  2) My skin is out of control. I looked through the bump thread for annoying skin issues but I'm wondering if now that we're further into the pregnancies if people have had success with certain products or routines. I need this 14 year old face goooone!

  ---stuck in the box---
  
  Or what if we just put a little PSA at the beginning of all of our daily (ticker changes, check ins, UO Thursday, FFFC etc) threads to have people pm you if they're interested in Labor Buddies by March 9th? With a quick description of what it entails. 
  
  I'm honestly fine with whatever we decide to do. I completely trust you not to pair regulars up with randoms but it seems like a ton of unnecessary work for you to have to even have to weed through them all to do that.
