1) I really shouldn't TFC when I first wake up and haven't had caffeine yet. I always feel like my posts aren't coherent and don't follow the comments I'm replying to when I read them later in the day
2) since DS1 was born on MLK day at 4 days late (induction was scheduled for that day and I walked in for it in full blown active labor), I'm secretly hoping that I have DS2 on a) April 26th because I'm a nerd so it fits my career field and he'd be 4 days early, b) May 4th since that's when we found out in 2014 we were expecting DS1 and would make him 4 days late like big brother, or c) Easter, but that would make him two weeks early so only kinda hoping.
I'm showing a documentary to my students and I totally thought it was 2 hours long, but it's an hour and 20 minutes, not 120 minutes. I teach hour blocks which means it won't take us to the bell. Gah, don't want to function today. Now I actually have to do my job for like 30 minutes every block today. Go figure.
hpnegirl, I was an Easter baby. My birthday has landed on it like three times since then too. As a kid I hated it because it totally screwed up having a birthday party.

Great. My due date is the day before Easter this year.
I wouldn't sweat it too bad. The odds of it falling on Easter subsequently are really low. I just drew crap luck as a kid a few times. It's been YEARS since my birthday has even been close to Easter.

Eh, I read everything so I wouldn't have missed this. Pregnancy brain sucks.

Hm. DS1 won't see another MLK birthday until he's 9 or 10 due to leap years. I have a late September birthday and it always fell during exam week, which sucked, and DH is summer so his friends were always out of town. I feel like it's one of those things you can't always win with though. I just thought it'd be kinda cool to have two kids both born on holidays.
Although, secretly, both DH and I *really* want April 26th, which means it's not going to happen lol

So I was getting dressed for work today and I got so mad because I thought all of my scarves smelled really weird. So I threw them all in the laundry. Then I went downstairs and discovered the weird smell was actually a huge pile of dog crap. I can't be too mad, this pup has been gloriously accident free and free range in the house since he was about 6 months old. That's a pretty good track record I think!! I feel bad for blaming the smell on my scarves.

I was supposed to be born on the 4th of July. But I was shy and didn't show up until the 15th. I did however get married on the 4th of July. There are no holiday birthdays in our family. But if the twins are feeling like jokesters they could end up being born on April fools day haha.

I'm 8 days before Christmas....thankfully my birthday is not a holiday and usually wasn't in class in college.

DD was born on the 4th of July and it's been fun so far. We'll see how she feels about it once she's older. Who could hate having fireworks every year for your birthday though?!

I told my mom I'd like to have an April 1 baby. She didn't think that would be a good birthday.

I used to date a guy who was born Jan 1. He commented once that he loved that he always had off and would go out the night before to celebrate because it was like everyone else was celebrating with him
I have a 90 minute massage appointment and fully intend on laying on my stomach as long as possible since it may very well be the last one I can do on my stomach comfortably (pillows and folded towels make it much easier to be on my belly). My neck and spine is riddled with knots again... one of the downsides to being all baby belly and boobs. Sigh. At least between the massages and the chiro I'm a lot more comfortable this time around?
Some years my birthday falls on Memorial Day weekend, which is great when it happens. If my beans made it to full term (of course unlikely if two make it), it would be Labor Day weekend, which would be kind of fun...bookending the summer, and a built in three day weekend celebrations.

I'm losing my mind and I don't like it. I needed to bring my camera to a meeting and also a tripod but can't find the tripod anywhere. I swear I put it away from my Christmas trip. Ugh.

It's "snowing" here! I don't really count it as real snow since it's very light, but it's probably the only white stuff we will see this winter so I'm excited!! And then in like 3 days it's going to be like 76 outside. Texas is annoying.

I'd like to go back to bed. I'm considering another half day but really I have a TON of work to do. It's busy season for me and busy season + third tri is going to suck. (26 weeks tomorrow!!!)

I'm hoping for a May 5 baby because DD's bday is NYE so I figure I may as well have both of my kids be born on drinking holidays. But since my due date is 5/6 and I'm going to have a RCS, I doubt my ob will let me wait until 5/5.
