Does anyone else "love/like" birth announcements from other BMBs? Sometimes I feel like a total stalker for liking a stranger's picture of their child.
I give love tits to just random posts on other bmbs. Whatevs. Love is love.
Sneeze-peed myself for the first time in front of DH tonight. He was appalled. "You pissed yourself!" Oooh FH, just wait until after I squeeze a child out of me and it's a regular occurrence Bahahaha.....
I don't recall if I mentioned this here but we went to a wedding a couple weeks ago and as I was leaving, a girlfriend was telling me how one of the bridesmaids was asking who I was....and then told her how she thought I was hot! I laughed so hard at this (36 weeks KU at the time) that I started coughing and peed myself in front of the group of women we were standing with! I had to like, look down and check the ground/feel my legs to make sure I didn't make an actual puddle/stream. I was safe but I just owned it and told them that she made me laugh so hard I legit peed. #neverfeltlesshot
I kinda wish now I had signed up for a labour buddy. I never cause I thought baby wasn't going to flip head down like my last one and I would have a scheduled c section so I didn't think there was a point in having one. Oh well!
I didn't sign up either for your exact reasons. I see it as a plus though. Everyone is my Labor Buddy!

I just saw a commercial that said Christmas is 100 days away. I've been so focused on this baby coming that I hadn't really thought past October! It dawned on me that I'm taking the month of December off at no pay... Not great timing. Looks like I'll be opting out of the family gift exchange this year.

@MRSCORKER I'm in the same situation. I usually love Christmas but this year it'll also mean my leave is almost over so I'm kind of hoping it takes a while to get here!
ETA- Speaking of Christmas, is it bad if we don't send out baby announcements in October and just send Christmas cards with his birth details on them? They'd be going to essentially the same people and it seems a little redundant (and expensive) so close together.

@ibabyloveb87 I wasn't planning on doing baby announcements. I don't think there's anything wrong with doing them but everyone sees Facebook and will be texting each other pictures so I feel like anyone who I would send one too would already know. Kind of a pointless expense in my opinion. If you're already sending Christmas cards, I say a combo card/announcement is a good idea!

So, @Mrscorker, you're saying you'll go on FB to post a birth announcement but you won't go on fb to be our friends in the Oct 16 group? *sniffles* I kid, I kid... maybe.

Haha. I think I might reactivate this weekend. But regardless, my H and the rest of the family will be posting hella pics so it will be announced regardless of whether I'm on!

I've said it multiple times before, but y'all....these pregnancy dreams are no joke. Had the weirdest one last night. Me and unknown dream person are running from some people and make it into some weird park/forest thing and steal a car in front of a cop and speed away, getting lost in this maze of a park. Then we find one of the people chasing us and I legit jump in her car and tear her away with my brute strength, punching her around and slinging her over my shoulder like a bag of potatoes. Then something happens and we're caught and running again and I somehow switch places with the head evil girl chasing us. Like, my brain is in her body so no one knows it's not her, except me. Weird. Super weird. And one of those dreams that I'm dreaming until the second I wake up, so when I do wake up I'm super groggy and disoriented.
Also, H has started this trend of waking up about 10-30 minutes before the alarm goes off. He doesn't bother me or get up, but I can sense when he wakes up and it wakes me up, and I'm all "Dude, you can't wait another 20 minutes? Some of us are being chased by bad chicks in our sleep and need time to fight them off, mmkay?"
@Schell2013 - I'm so glad your babe turned head down! I remember discussing it with you on one of the ticker change threads.
@MRSCORKER - DH and I were just discussing Christmas last night. I want to opt out of everything. We thought about staying home all day and if people want to see us and Reagan, they can come by whenever. All of our immediate family is local, so I don't think it's unreasonable. I just don't think we'll be in the position, financially or physically, to do Christmas.
@bamacoop I accidentally (and gloriously) fell back asleep from about 8 to 10, and had by far the most ridiculous dream yet. It was so nonsensical that I can't even begin to describe it, but I just wanted to comment on your bitchin' story-tellin' skills. I always look forward to when you have something to talk about and reading what you have to say! +1 to magically sensing when FI is awake as well.
@ibabyloveb87@MRSCORKER we aren't doing paper birth announcement either...but you better believe that somehow a birth announcement is going to be incorporated in our Christmas cards!!!!! I LOVE planning for Christmas cards, and have a few designs already saved. lol.
@Schell2013 i'm so jealous your baby flipped!!!! Mine hasn't yet (as of Monday), but maybe next week he'll change his tune and get with the program.
Also, HAPPY FRIDAY LADIES! Been feeling super into the fall weather this morning, being that it's a chilly morning here in sunny San Diego!
Can I brag for a minute?? Last night I didn't get up to pee!!! Not once!! *sings* glorious day!!!! Oh what a glorious day!!!! Seriously this is what energy feels like
@CopperBoom86 We have been in the low 80s and high 70s lately and I'm considering it cool compared to the 90s+ we had everyday this summer. Bring on the 60s and sweaters and scarves and boots!!

@annabenanna with you there on wishing this dang little one would flip! I've been doing something similar to the "breech tilt" and occasionally forward learning inversions (though those are quite a bit harder for me space wise).
I'm honestly terrified of a c-section. I know I shouldnt be, but it was just never something that was on my radar....

@LauraPCOS That is wonderful! And totally unrelated, but I can do the Carleton, and I've done it at the one and only "dance party" I've ever been to. #thuglyfe
@CopperBoom86@Schell2013@kmolleltz, i'm actually pretty shocked this baby is breech because I've been doing barre since the beginning of this pregnancy up until now! and you know what our favorite workout is at barre? tilts, lots and lots of pelvic tilts. This baby is probably super stubborn. DH is freaked out every time I ask him to help me do the forward inversion.
awhh @annabenanna baby must be super stubborn! Fingers crossed he pulls a last minute somersault just for a "told you so mama" hah

@CopperBoom86 So I'm at the salon now and asked my stylist about going red, she started cracking up because apparently she gets this all the time from women who are about to give birth. All of her pregnant clients ask for major changes late in their pregnancies. Who knew?! Anyway, she suggested I take baby steps and just get the cut this time and maybe do the color next time. She's had some bad experiences with hormone induced decisions. I think it's the right call, maybe I'll go red-ish for fall in a couple of months when I'm not longer pregnant and making rash/hormonal decisions. Lol

@LauraPCOS I have no "proof" other than word of mouth, and sweet memories. I ask that you just trust me on this one
You just reminded me, I had a friend growing up at school that could do The Carlton and we were on a field trip where we had to take the subway and we convinced him to do it in the middle of the subway car. Lol I can't remember where we were going or what we were doing, but THAT I can (and the laughing with enjoyment that came from it).
@LauraPCOS Oh lord, I can't count how many times I did it at school, or out in public in general... it was a friend-favorite and I couldn't say no! I was still doing it up until a few months ago, but Johnny has put a cork in the Carleton for now. I'm sure FI is grateful to be able to get through a grocery shopping trip without me embarrassing him
@annabenanna It's starting to feel like fall up here in LA as well!
Driving down the street the other day DH waved his arms out window and exclaimed "It is so FRESCA! We should get out and go do something! Anything!" It was really cute, but the only thing I want to do is have this baby! So we opted for a walk.
Also to you and @LauraPCOS - I totally tried to do the Carlton at my wedding reception. However, with my big-ass dress, it just looked like I was flailing my arms around, 'cause you couldn't see anything my legs were doing. Soooooo......definitely someone has a video of me doing that in a crowded room. That one will stay locked away though!
And +1 to everyone having freaking hot weather still. People here know all about it, because not a single person has said anything about me having a baby in the nice, Fall weather. Every person has been like "October? Dang! You're gonna be sweatin' through the whole thing!"
I know, people! Help a sista out! Throw ice water on me as I pass you in the street!
(Also- damn you, leather car seats! I always think I've bled or peed myself when I get out of the car if I'm wearing shorts, because it's literally soaking wet on my legs and butt and back from the stupid leather. Next car will have cloth seats!!)
Current random thought: I am so excited to move this weekend but I also am so stressed by the fact that everything is so dirty. I dont want to move it into the new house dirty so I have to clean EVERYTHING. (In Tanzania in dry season its impossible for their not to be a layer of dust on just about everything, no matter how hard you try)

I'm so excited you are moving into your home, @kmolleltz!!! Sorry about all the cleaning, though.
I just had my hair redone so i'm fresh for the baby... haha.. I am keeping the Jon Snow look but I added blue and teal hidden underlights towards the bottom. You would only see them if I curl my hair and/or put my hair in a ponytail. Also had my toenails done navy blue glitter with white polka dots yesterday to get ready.
@Piperella I'm totally stealing your polka dot idea. Lol. I was going to have my boss do my toes real quick today but didn't know what color I wanted to do.
I had my eyebrows waxed today and getting my hair chopped off Thursday. Should be getting one more Brazilian and leg wax in sometime. And then I'm ready and he can come. Lol
It's starting to cool off here in the mitten as well, but I see on the weather channel app that its supposed to be in the 80s this weekend and early next week.. Nooooo Before my whole short term disability debacle (for those not on facebook, I accidentally waived short term disability coverage when I waived my medical benefits - dumbass of the year), I was going to go get my hair done and get a pedicure. Now I'm about to buddy up with a box of clairol and hit up the local salon school to get my toes done! I am going to get a gel manicure because my mom got me a gift certificate to a nice salon for my birthday. Thinking I'll do all of this sometime next week and it'll be lovely! I have to work all weekend this weekend and between the full moon and the doc that's on I have a feeling were going to be very busy!
