Wait, don't hate me! They're pronounced differently? I get the male/female spellings, but I totally say them the same.
Full disclosure: it wasn't until college that I recognized the difference. My family, friends, teachers, etc. growing up all pronounce them exactly the same.
I am shocked at all these female Aarons! I knew an Errin once, and thought THAT was odd. I actually never really knew other Erin's until I got to college, but I usually had 3 or 4 Aaron's in my classes up through high school.
I'm so glad my mom gave us *mostly* normal names. The only little spelling difference is Traci, instead of Tracy. When you hear all our names together with our middle names though, it's funny seeing people react. Can't tell you how many times I've heard, "Whoa. Your parents are hippies."
MH's named Tracy and he always got shit for it. I knew him before I met a girl named Tracy (whatever the spelling) so it throws me a little to hear it as a girl's name. He's always asked if it's Tracy with an 'ey'. I say no it's 'i' with a heart on it.
Traci seems more of the feminine spelling to me. Again, probably because MH is with a 'y'.
Repeat c-section.. I know everyone says they're not that bad but for me, I hated every moment of it. I thought my insides were going to fall out. I'm scared to death to have another one.
...... Okay.
I'm sorry you feel like that. I will be scheduling my RCS the minute I get KTFU because it was heaven-sent.
But, that's not my point. Maybe that shouldn't be your reaction when someone says they just scheduled a RCS. It seems a little tone deaf.

Snap me a video with the correct pronunciation
I'll try to remember when I get home. You can check out my chia pet hair, compliments of this morning's rain. It's hawt.

A girl in my sorority was named kymm. Apparently she started out as "Kim" but her parents thought there were to many other "Kim's" in her class so they changed the spelling so she wouldn't get confused....

I have to read and catch up but it's fever day 6 for DD and my car is still not fixed day 15. Today they hinted they may never fix my car and corporate is trying to contact me about a new one. It's only 2 years old with 15,000 miles.

I'm with you there. I'm terrified of another c-section when I get pregnant again. That shit's scary. Is there a little something they can give you before to help calm you down a bit during the procedure?

I think as Cherhorowitz pointed out, maybe this discussion is best saved for another day/thread when one of the girl's didn't announce she scheduled one today...

For research purposes, MH and I had roasted broccoli for dinner so we could do this:
Here are my thoughts: A shamrock shake might taste better if it was made with chocolate ice cream, not vanilla. For the sake of the board, I'd be willing to order it again and let you all know. Research, right?
A fry dipped in a frosty is okay. I, instead, enjoyed a sip of frosty ( or shamrock shake, even) and then a fry afterwards. Helped to maintain the salty taste.

It was extremely insensitive of me. And I'm sorry if I offended anyone. I was definitely blindsided by own fear.

Should have gone with Quymberleey
Geez Goldi. Way to throw my name out there.
As a Kimberly with the traditional spelling, I get stabby when I see it written "Kimberlee" "Kimberley" "Kymberly" etc. Why not assume it's spelled the traditional way?! This is why I go by Kim.

I wasn't offended, by you or wineallthetime, but I agree that having someone's reaction to me saying that I just scheduled mine and was crying in my kitchen from being overwhelmed be "NOOOO" wasn't the most awesome way to get past the crying. But, we're cool. I got over the immediate crying reaction, and I get that people's experiences with CS generally fall into the camp of "NBD" or "I really don't want another one."

So sorry, ljgs1010 I really should have been reading context before just throwing that in there. I can be a jerk, just ask my H! Thinking about you and your sweet little one.
