    @Snaps816 I totally agree. I actually was nominated to do the "love your spouse" challenge just the other day and I am ignoring it. I am happily married and I love my friends, but even I am annoyed by these random challenges, so I can imagine how it makes my single friends feel. Facebook kind of annoys me in general but for our generation it's almost a necessary evil.

  • I also hate the spouse challenge. One of my co-workers challenged me a few days ago and I "hid it" from my timeline. I think seven days is over the top. 

    My FFFC is when I went to see my midwife this week she told me no cervical check next week for my appointment with the other midwife because she doesn't want me to go into labor while she is on vacation. A part of me just wants to get the damn cervical check. If I go into labor, so be it. But then I remember I really do like this midwife and can't imagine anyone else delivering baby at this point. Ugh.

  • All the fb challenges annoy me too. Yes I love my dh and kids, but I don't need to post every day for a week or a month or whatever about how great they are. I never do any of that crap, and am hardly ever nominated for them either. I think my friends know better
  • My uo is that I don't believe in waking babies at night to eat. Unless there is some medical concern where it is necessary for baby to eat every so many hours, I think it just trains baby to wake all night when they don't need to. I do wake them during the day if they go too long, but not at night. I think that is part of the reason my kids learned to sleep through the night pretty young. 
    I wake at night until they are back up to birth weight. Then I let them go as long as they want. Though right now he's waking without me getting him up. We're dealing with slow weight gain so I need to feed him overnight. 
  • @Bookhousegirl For some reason she thinks I'm on the tipping scale of going into labor. My cervix is really thin and baby is very low. I think she is also concerned about the extra exams sending me into labor because I had a LEEP procedure a few years back. But I am really not dialated at all, so I'm not sure why she thinks a cervical exam would send me into labor while she is gone. Good thing I didn't mention how much DH and I have been getting busy this last week. Ha!

    My babies didn't usually sleep through the night before that anyway. Levi went one night all the way through before hitting his birth weight, but they have two weeks to get there, and he hit his birth weight at about 9 or 10 days. So if he went past that 2 weeks without weighing enough then I would wake him at night. But you're right, the pediatrician recommends waking them until they hit birth weight.
  • @texasmama2014 I just finished the "love your spouse" challange also. I don't usually do them either but there were a few different reasons I chose to do this one. I also love looking through pics and sharing our "story". The lady who nominated me is my aunt that I only see a few times a year and she loves seeing pics. 
  • I'm not on facebook - explain this whole challenge situation 
  • @Mrsrundell  People come up with "challenges" ... Post a pic of you and your spouse for 7 days to promote marriage (all I put was day 1 of 7 or 2 of 7, I didn't get into religious marriage stuff or anything) and then you "nominate" 2 more people every day (like I said, I didn't nominate anyone).  There are challenges for everything- Love your spouse, post your pet, love your kids, some people do what they're thankful for for every day in november...  It kinda spams walls.
  • @texasmomma2014 ok ok - ehhh I could either way the challenges I guess, I kinda like hearing about other people's stuff like that but, would eye roll the mega aw that overly brag too 


  • I hate those challenges too! I really hated the ice bucket challenge. I know it was for a good cause, but I'd rather donate the money. I'm all about disease promotion to get people aware and hopefully get doctors interested in trying to find a cure, but it just seemed like most of the people on my Facebook were just doing it for the attention without realizing what it was supposed to be about. I was nominated for this spouse challenge by one of my best friends, but I'm hoping she isn't hurt I never did it.

    My FFFC is similar to @BritMC18. I want to go into labor either late Sunday night or early Monday morning so I can watch the cross country equestrian events. It's on for several hours that day and I would love to have that as my distraction while I'm trying to have a baby!
  • @Stephanie7693 I love that movie! That would have been a good distraction as well. I'm glad it came on for you at that time!
  • Late FFFC but I can't read the slacker thread. The type A in me starts stressing and going over everything in my head making sure things are done. Also reading it is making me question if I've adequately packed my hospital bag.

    My UO/FFFC is that I'm so happy I'm not pregnant anymore. I'm glad I got to experience it once and I would do it all over again for this little guy. But I struggled all pregnancy with feeling like my body wasn't my own, and it feels awesome to be able to tie my own shoes and have a glass of wine.
    I am so jelly. I predict this is exactly how I will feel in a few weeks.

    I'm late to the party but my belated FFFC: That song "you ain't gotta go to work (work work work work)" makes me want to rip my hair out. I feel like screaming at the radio. DO YOU WANT TO BE WITH A BUM?????  YOU DO HAVE TO GO TO WORK!!DON'T TELL YOUR MAN TO QUIT HIS JOB!!

     I'm secretly hoping our baby comes Monday so his birthday can be 8/8/16.

    ETA Also, I went to Target yesterday and found some super cute sheets for DD1... for a bed she doesn't have yet. We plan on moving her from a toddler bed to a twin soon but haven't actually bought it yet. Then I came home and found the matching comforter online and ordered that too...
  • @cm716 I absolutely hate that song too!
  • @cm716 I'm hoping for the same day too. I have a weird thing about numbers lol 8/8/16 .. 8+8=16 
  • I like odd numbers. .. I was pretty excited when my water broke on 7/23! 
  • @jkershaw2013 right?! I love that date. P.s. I saw that you're naming your LO Ella? That's dd2's name. I love it! Do you have a mn in mind?
  • @cm716 I'm hoping for the same day too. I have a weird thing about numbers lol 8/8/16 .. 8+8=16 
    @jkershaw2013 @Allisun85 I have a thing about numbers, too. My birthday is 8/16/82 and I always liked how the numbers all go together (8x2=16) so I'm secretly hoping my LO gets a date like that. Maybe even the same birthday!

    I'm hoping for 8/8/16 too! Or even 8/16/16 (I'm due 8/17). Our wedding anniversary is 1/21/12 and DS's birthday is 11/22/13 so it would be fun to have all the cool dates. :)

    Our wedding anniversary is 1/21/12 too!
  • @Allisun85 I think we bought every useless thing for baby too. Half of it I got a garage sales though (at least that's how I justify it).

    I'm debating a dock a tot next even though we have a bassinet. :neutral:
