FFFC: New episodes of OITNB just came out and my H is out of town until Sunday night. I fully plan to be lazy and have the season finished before he gets home.
@SawyerRichardson I used to watch that show but I lost interest after season 3 I think (the one with Vi) although I’ve heard its gotten better.
It also came out while I was a prisoners rights attorney so there were some things they portrayed in a way that didn’t sit well with me. But I think now that I have more distance I could get into it again.
My H did time when he was younger, so any prison shows make me uncomfortable. He did get me addicted to Prison Break for a minute and he regretted it cause every few seconds I was like “Does that really happen?” “Is that what it’s really like?”
My FFFC: I’m relying very heavily on TV these days. Work has beat me down and pregnancy is already hard on me. I feel so bad for Z, but I just can’t physically do anything and I nap as much as possible. I’m glad he’s in daycare now so he has very productive, active days at least a few times a week.
@sammierose464 I tried to get my H into it but he didn’t really like it. I was like “but there are so many boobs!! How do you not like this?!”
@rc-cola It’s been up and down with me too but I feel like I’m too invested now to just stop. I’m running out of shows to watch while I count down the seconds until GOT comes back!
On the TV thread I used to use my daily 2 hour subway commute (hr each way) to read and do work and research , but recently it’s been Netflix downloaded to my phone each way. Finished all of Call the Midwife and Glow. About to start season 2 of Queer Eye.
My almost 3 year old is watching more tv than I'd like as well because I'm exhausted! Waking up at 5:20am every morning after a fitful night of shitty sleep is destroying me! Thank God I have 3 weeks off after today, one more hour to go! I also don't feel as guilty though because he's at preschool for 8 hours a day and it's all books, painting, playing outdoors, etc.
I blare Five Finger Death Punch, Bad Wolves, Lamb of God, Slip Knot, ECT on Friday afternoons when I am cleaning up the surgical suites for the weekend.
@RosieMommy2016 DH and I are debating whether or not we should blare Ghost while in the labor room, because hey, it will take my mind off things...may even relax me if I can sing along!
@jemmersjams and @RosieMommy2016 I was convinced that I was going to blast In This Moment, the Blood album with DD but after the epidural I was so calm and laid back I felt like I didn’t need it haha
One of DF's pre-baby tasks is to make me a labor playlist. He loves making them and I cherish all the playlists he makes me.

That's very sweet, @mytrueloves. Jeff loves to make mixes as well, but we have very different tastes in music, most of the time. Maybe we can come together for the birth of our child

I give my kids melatonin every night so that it won’t take 3 hours for them to fall asleep.
I do this during the school year, S-Th or else we all pay the price the next day and the evening is just a shit show. My grandmother believes I drug my kids...but really it won't work unless they are truly tired!!
I never announced this baby on social media. I had been meaning to and now that I just entered my third trimester it seems a little late ha ha
Me either. We had a big birthday party for my mom a few weekends ago and a lot of family was surprised to see my belly. Taking maternity pics in September and that will probably be the first mention of baby...a month later - he's here!!
@lest12 Yep! Finished it Saturday morning. I’m a little embarrassed at how quickly I watched 13 episodes.. I swear, I don’t usually have that much time on my hands!

I know I can’t be the only one.

@sawyerrichardson - did you watch it? I'm on episode 6...
Me either. We had a big birthday party for my mom a few weekends ago and a lot of family was surprised to see my belly. Taking maternity pics in September and that will probably be the first mention of baby...a month later - he's here!!
@sawyerrichardson - No shame, once I am into something I *have* to finish it. I will stay up until 3 am if I have to.
*Spoiler alert*
I was a little like.... ugh wth after episode 1 but I think it's picking up now!
