I will take this into strong consideration. Especially now that I am beginning to suspect that I am going to end up alone and abandoned on TB if I don't!
I'm still facebook-less @AllyTheKid. It'll just be the two of us and a bunch of randos. lol
My FFFC is that I hate watch the Duggar shows on TLC. They make me SO MAD but I can't stop. Like, whatever, live and let live but all the can't hold hands until you're married, can't wear pants EVEN AT THE GYM (seriously, they wear a skirt with pants UNDERNEATHE, what is the point?!)... I watch it and yell at the TV but I still DVR it and watch. *hangs head in shame*

I've been catching up on last season's Big Bang Theory while at work this week. Next is Grey's. I'm hoping to get a little caught up on my shows if I ever get downtime on this maternity leave. Here's hoping right?
@MRSCORKER@ibabyloveb87 I, too, am fascinated by the Duggars and tend to hate watch them as well. I only really catch them here and there, but when I do, I'm hooked and yell at the TV the entire time. Like, what kind of religion says no pants?? And, why, WHY so many children? And is it their main goal to get married before the age of 20? I, too, like to be all, "to each their own - no judgies" but I just can't wrap my brain around the whole thing.
I feel like I might be in the minority here but as uncomfortable and unimaginable being pregnant for 7 more weeks is- I really wish this LO was going to cook until 40 weeks. I don't want to go into labor early- I don't want to have this baby early because I don't want him to be compromised and in the NICU. But alas, this baby is being born at 37 weeks or earlier and while that's considered full term, I still wish he would be cooking longer.
don't worry i'll still be here, just stranger danger. in my eyes something is clearly wrong if you come to a group of people you have never spoken to and tell us how your baby "shot out" of your vagina.
MRSCORKER@ibabyloveb87LMNOBaby I share some of this fascination with the Duggar family too. I think a large part has started since We now live so close to Branson, MO where the Duggar family often visits. I secretly hope when we go to Branson that we'll see them out and about somewhere.
mizzkbrat I would watch shows on my Kindle or read books while nursing with my first baby, it helped me stay awake and alert especially during late night feedings.
serenaxo84 I'm completely with you on please cook until 40 weeks. At my appointment today and the one last week doctor has said baby and your body are ready to go at any time but I keep thinking "please hang in there until your due date so this mama can be on maternity leave through Thanksgiving".
I hate watch the Kardashians sometimes. As well as Real Housewives. Those shows just bewilder me that people can get paid to act like that and do that, and yet I'm sort of jealous of some of their life styles. So it's definitely a love-hate relationship that I can't stop watching once a marathon is on.
Real Housewives is my guilty pleasure. I don't have cable and Hulu is kind of weird about which seasons/episodes you can stream, but I definitely indulge in a marathon session once or twice a year.
Because of GD and a previous loss I won't go past 39 weeks. I'm really hoping to make it to my induction though. My FFC is that I'm afraid of going into labor on my own. I've had 2 successful inductions and I know what to expect. What if I go into labor and don't make it to the hospital?! Yes, I'm crazy.
I've never watched the Duggars or the Kardasians, so I know nothing about any of them and I'm happy that way.
My FFFC: As soon as I hit 37 weeks, I started trying every old wives tale to get this baby out, no matter how silly. I know it won't trigger labor unless my body is ready, but I'm hoping it'll help things along and it makes me feel more proactive since I've already been off work for a week now.
@MRSCORKER I'm fascinated by the Duggars. I just don't get it but I love it all at the same time.
We just had a long meeting at work and the whole time I was just daydreaming about the baby. No idea what we talked about really. Sorry not sorry.
I've been in a training class all week & I have utilized this time to try to name my baby. So while it appears I have been taking diligent notes....in actuality I just have a spiral filled with possible baby names.
@AllyTheKid I'm not on Facebook either and I'm not sure yet I want to re activate my account cause to be truthful it's been nice to not be on it.
My FFFC is I'm not worried about people seeing my birth announcement or baby pic. I mean there is piles out there so why steal mine and babies somewhat all look the same when they first come out so really fly at it creepers. You don't know who I am or where I live and since there is no genitals I don't think I have anything to worry about.

I enjoy watching the Duggars but don't understand a lot of their beliefs either, but to each their own. The Kardasians are stupid but I can't help but watch them sometimes.
I want this baby to come out but at the same time I want my maternity leave to last through the holidays. So I hope he keeps cooking but my body is so tired.
My FFFC: I saw the trailer for the next 50 Shades and I'm super pumped for a boozy night out with friends in February watching the trashy sequel. It's not Oscar-worthy cinema, but I don't care. I also read the books and thought they were a good mindless read. Totally not ashamed.
@sjo_thetwins I watch the Kardashians and most of the housewives, too (I draw the line at NJ and Melbourne though). I'll watch pretty much any show on Bravo. I love Flipping Out, even though Jeff Lewis is kind of an a-hole, I still sorta love him.
@sidecarsareforbishes We did a great Gal-entines date for the first one. Lunch with alcohol then movie and out for more drinks after. Maybe we can recreate this year, except more of us have kids so it might include less (but still some!) alcohol.

@ibabyloveb87 Having kids is all the more reason to have a night out with friends drinking! But yeah, hangovers with littles at home is no fun. I learned that the hard way.
i'm not gonna post any pics of violet after an announcement on the bmb. the drastic influx of lurkers is creeping me out, but she will be on fb
I am kind of feeling the same way. @AllyTheKid I guess you're gonna have to get Facebook if you wanna see our squishies
I am also feeling this way.
eta : Also I feel like the bump is where people would come to steal baby photos and so that's kinda my reasoning? Which I know doesn't make a ton of sense.

Same! I mean, I get that there are catfish, trolls, and randos out there, but what could someone do with one photo of a baby? I'm guessing not much.
@sidecarsareforbishes I can not wait for 50 Shades Darker. It will definitely be a GNO with yummy food and booze will definitely be involved.

I watch the Kardashians, Rob and Chyna, and Teen Mom --- they are all train wrecks and I can't help it. Never watch the Duggers but I did watch Jon and Kate Plus 8. LOL

+1 for not posting baby's photo on TB announcement thread. Sorries. I still haven't done HDBD (like ever, not in my last BMB either) BUT maybe next week, if she's still an inside baby.
After what happened with my old BMB after the mass TB exodus, I might join the FB group though. Not that I think another exodus will happen, but the BMB changes SO MUCH after babies are here, you guys.
The random birth announcements make me stabby. Why do you want love tits from random people on the internet that you literally have never interacted with the entire time you were KU? Attention whores.
one picture is one picture. but i just don't want to expose my kid or myself after she's here...i'm a pretty open book but i don't trust lurkers we can't monitor
Maybe I'm just naive, but I don't think much can be done with a few pictures of my belly or a newborn photo or two so I don't really care who sees them. Eat your heart out, creeps.

@SpaceBurger ... My neighbor/friend text me this morning about them bc she just found out they exist. Needless to say, she was super excited when she found out I already have some at the house... That I'm willing to share
I'm not super worried about sharing a few pics on me/baby on here but for some reason it makes me STABBY to think that my MIL could share pics of my baby on FB. I'm going to have to have H monitor her like a hawk and keep that shit on lock down. I don't know what shady ass characters she's friends with! My worry is that H will go crazy and text a million pics a day and that they will all end up on FB without me knowing. One of the reasons I'm not on FB is because I don't want to share my life with her, even virtually.
