It depends on the name. For example, someone recently posted on NTK about Fi.delia and I don't like the idea of two of those in one family. I also personally wouldn't want to give my child the same name as a family member just because I want my children to have their own identities and not be associated with or confused with someone else in the family.
What's NTK and Fi.delia?
Lol. Name that kid, aka the new baby name board, and one of the more rare names discussed there recently
I really like my sister's name. It's beautiful and different but not weird. My mom always got compliments on the name. Would it be weird to name my baby the same name as my sister?
I don't think so, may just get confusing.
pbubblegum, What's the name?? There may be some possible nicknames
@pcrunk, don't feel bad. I didn't take them most of the first trimester because I felt sick and constipated. Then I did for a few weeks. And now.. Can't even remember the last time. Honestly, for all of the utter crap I eat, I also eat tons of fruits & vegetables. I know I should, I just can't remember.

My sex-related FFFC is that while I have NOT been into DH (or anyone for that matter) I have been super horny since about week 25. I've just been taking matters into my own hands. DH was so disappointed when I told him, but to be fair I give him a BJ at least once/week. For whatever reason I just prefer my own orgasms to be quick and easy by myself!
I'm sitting here with my hand on my tummy contentedly feeling baby move around and choking back nasty reflux. I feel guilty for sending my husband out to meet my BIL and his gf to go pick up our giant crib with BIL's truck. Its all the way on the other side of town. Our house is a MESS and I have no desire to get up and straighten up before they get here. I don't want to entertain. I don't even want to join them for dinner out. I just want to stay curled up on the couch with my wiggly baby and my dvr. This while they are out doing me/us a favor. Am I a jerk? Seriously, if I could be a total bridge troll and deny them entrance to our house I would.
I have another one. I think my husband stinks. He wore his wool coat to shovel snow and got it all sweaty. He hasn't had it cleaned yet so when he comes home from work I'm all That and his general morning smell before shower is not nice. I used to love his natural smell but my pregnant nose picks up some funk I didn't detect before. He doesn't have b.o. thankfully but the scent is just off to me now.
I think it's tacky to have more than two baby showers, max, under most circumstances. I know someone who is having FOUR baby showers. Why? Three of them are within a day of eachother and are in the exact same city- why can't you consolidate them? It's so unnecessary.
IDK i had 3 showers for DD and could have easily had a 4th and 5th but i dont like to burden too many people with that sort of thing. Some groups of people just dont mix well like great grandma, my crazy friends, and my boss. Also people are fairly geographically spread out.
ETA only 1 of the 3 was a "formal" baby shower with family, the other 2 were more casual
My confession: Sometimes I hate my DD. She just turned 2 in January and since then she is just impossible. She is very whiny and clingy and is also a screamer if she doesn't get her way. Of course, I love her and would do anything for her, but some days...man I just want to give her away to charity.
Totally with you! My 3 year old is alternating between adorably cute and being sold to the circus. He's been on and off with tantrums since I picked him up from day care. Also, his teachers tell me he has a great day but he always melts down when I get there.
The shower thing doesn't bother me as much. I could understand three if each family was big and then a friend offered to throw one just for close friends. Maybe a fourth if that one was a little unknown work thrown shower. But what really bugs me is multiple diaper parties. Friends of mine had three baby showers: one for each family because they are three hours apart, and one work/friend shower. AND THREE FUCKING DIAPER PARTIES. Except that the diaper parties were all in the same city! One was for all the male friends/family, one was for male coworkers, and one was for all friend COUPLES! So friends that had SOs were invited to TWO diaper parties, plus the SO was invited to one of the 309483094283948 baby showers. Now that.. fuck alllllladat.
One is being thrown by her moms book club, the other by her MIL, and the third and fourth are being thrown by friends. Too much, IMO. At least consolidate the friends one. It just seems gift grabby at that point.
How is it gift-grabby? If you consolidate, the same people are still coming, but it's just a bigger deal and expense for the host. I'm having two, one for my side of the family and friends, one for my husband's side of the family. No one would be left off the guest list if I consolidated. The only difference would be that the host would have to plan a party for double the amount of people, and frankly, the guest of honor (me) would be overwhelmed by that many people attending.

Roksana!
Ooh, very fun! And SO MANY possible nicknames, you can definitely call DB something different than you call your sister... Rocksy, Roo, Ana, Sana...
And because nothing could be to good to be true. DH called me on his way home from work today and asked that we cancel dinner with my mom because he lost his job. 25% is his fault but the other 75% is 100% a bullshit reason that I don't fully understand but know enough about the entire situation to know that he should of just gotten a write up and not fully fired. Here's to hoping he finds something within the next 3 months and if not the silver lining is we will be saving money on daycare because he will be able to be home with the baby. Really wish I could have two full bottles of wine right about now. But instead I will have to settle for cheese. Hope everyone has a good weekend. I usually don't post on the weekend because its to much of a hassle to turn my computer on and to log into the VPN through work. (only way I can access the internet on my PC from home. See all of you wonderful ladies on Monday!!
I really really don't like pregnant sex. I wish I was one of those ladies who just couldn't get enough of it but I just don't like it. Don't get me wrong I take one for the team every now and then. I'm not that mean but it's ehh
I could not agree with you more. I HATE having sex when I am pregnant. I never enjoy it because I do not feel sexy and I am so awkward because I am not used to my body. Plus, towards the middle/end of pregnancy I can barely move without huffing and puffing. Sexy right? I too throw MH a bone (pun intended) at least once per week, but I'm not sure either of us is actually having any fun because I basically lay down and say "okay, make it quick cuz I'm gonna have to pee in about 5 minutes."
I feel the same way! It takes me forever to find a comfy spot to lay but by the time I'm comfy I'm so out of breath I'm huffing like I just went for a run..the other night dh actually said "you're so cute when you flop around like a walrus" seriously? You can bet your ass I pulled the "my back hurts and I haven't pooped in 3 days" card so there was no option for sexy time.
Could they each have a different nickname? That might be a good way to use the name but let each of them have her own version of the name.
Just a thought. It's a very pretty name and I like it. Not sure what DH thinks.
My mom's sister was my little sister's name sake (is that right?) so we have Aunt X and Little X. It does get a little confusing since they are both Aunt X now...my mom and the same sister both married guys with the same name and then I married a guy with the same name! So we have lots of doubled up names - it's only confusing for a few minutes. But we are an odd family. It's helpful to say "Hey so and so?" And have three people turn around The wives have nick names for their husbands (and I call my dad Dad and my uncle Uncle... So I haven't had issues) which helps.
Today was a coworker's birthday, and there were all kinds of great snacks and treats - fruits, veggies, doughnuts, muffins, brownies, chips & salsa, EVERYTHING. Today I also had my glucose test, at 3pm. I had to resist all the things I wanted at work except for a few veggies. I kept a small piece of chocolate cake I had brought to have after my Dr. appt. It was wonderful and I was so sad when it was gone. My DH laughed, but also offered to go to the store and buy another of the same cake for me. It is delicious and will probably be the only thing I eat tonight. He doesn't care much for cake at all, so I will have every bit of this chocolate goodness all to myself.
It will likely be at least one of my meals tomorrow as well.
I really don't get all the fuss over Frozen. I thought Tangled was a way better movie. I'm kind of disappointed they're making a sequel. I'd rather seem more Rapunzel and Pascal.
In hindsight... This seems more a UO than flameful...

I agree with you- but I am ashamed to admit I am having 4. To be fair- I am from a completely different part of the country, so I am flying home to have one. The other 3 are where I currently live, but they are completely different sets of people and in 2 cities. One is where I live, with all of my girlfriends, one is with all of my coworkers, and the last is with my students and their families. I could see combining the shower with my coworkers and students, but I have over 200 kids in my program and they wanted to plan something for me. The situation you're describing sounds a bit overkill, though.

It's like my body got what it wanted, and has closed up shop for the nine-months lol

I definitely think it's okay under some circumstances. Especially because of geographical reasons or different sets of friends. I think the thing that annoyed me about hers in particular was the book club one. She doesn't even know those ladies & it just seems like a little much. That's just my opinion though. My aunt was invited to a shower for a coworkers daughter, whom she had never met. The daughter wasn't going to be there but she skyped in for it and her mom opened presents, from people her daughter didn't know at all. That's kind of what the book club shower reminded me of.
. Ok absolutely- that is tacky. I would never dream of having a shower where people were invited that I didn't know. When my family started planning mine, they asked DH to get a guest list from my MIL. Her response was to invite all of the women that were invited to our wedding- which is completely ridiculous. I put my foot down and said it was limited to family members and friends of mine. She was not pleased, but I would personally feel weird having a bunch of people I didnt know bring me gifts. THAT is gift-grabby
