Monday Ticker Change 3/23

Hi ladies! In an effort to be more active on the board, I thought I would start us out today!
How many weeks?

What fruit?

Team color and are you a ftm, stm, etc?

GTKY: If you could relive any day in your life up to this point, what day would it be and why?

[amber311]

How many weeks?
26

What fruit?
Lettuce I think..haven't been keeping track much because they are so weird at this point

Team color and are you a ftm, stm, etc?
Team Pink/FTM (Lillian Jean is what we nailed down)

GTKY: If you could relive any day in your life up to this point, what day would it be and why?
Most definitely my wedding day. It was such a blur. I would make more time to relax and take it all instead of freaking out about how ugly my cake turned out or that my dress was full of sand. (I got married on a beach...what the hell did I expect?)

[Girlymama79]

How many weeks? 29

What fruit? Acorn squash, which I think is stupid because all the acorn squash I have seen are much smaller than the estimated inches and weight for 29 weeks.

Team color and are you a ftm, stm, etc? Pink! Third time mom

GTKY: If you could relive any day in your life up to this point, what day would it be and why?

I honestly can't think of one. I have lots of good memories that come up but one single day to call the best? Nope can't pick.

On another note, one of my apps told me that this week I should be thinking about my hospital bag and it's totally freaking me out now.

Team Color and are you a FTM, STM, etc?
Team Pink/ FTM

GTKY: I honestly think I would like to go back and relive the day I...or night I should say...met my husband. We met 10 years this July at a bar. I thought he was just a guy that wanted to buy me a drink...little did I know. I can remember what I was wearing, and kept the skirt as a memory, but I'd like to go back and "see" his moves , as well as remember each detail of our conversation. I'm sure it wasn't that fascinating due to the fact that it was Sat night in a bar and I was 21 at the time.

27 weeks
Bunch of bananas
Team blue, ftm
If I could go relive any day it would be my wedding way. It's one of my happiest memories. Prettiest dress, married my high school sweetheart after 9 years, great music, awesome food, pretty venue in the park. I wish I could see it more clearly in my mind or that we at least had a video.

Thanks for starting us off, amber311!

How many weeks? 30! This weekend at church I kept telling people "two more months!" Wow.

What fruit? TB says Cucumber. That seems so weird. But it also says 2.5 - 3.8lbs, which seems about right!

Team color and are you a ftm, stm, etc? FTM, baby boy (probably going with Henry for the FN)

GTKY: If you could relive any day in your life up to this point, what day would it be and why? Hmm... maybe the first day DH and I made out. It lasted like 2 hours up against my car in the middle of the night after hanging out all day and all night... He was so shy, it was surprisingly hot, and we just couldn't stop! We could use some steaminess right now

[Bluedaisy]

26 weeks, lettuce

FTM team blue

I can't think of one.

[tiffbot]

I'm moving here!

29 weeks, everyone says acorn squash so I guess!

Team green, STM

Oh wow. Well I'll say anything aside from our wedding or anything to do with DS, the first thing that popped into my head was when H and I went to Montreal. That was a fantastic trip.

Weeks? 30 WEEKS!!! WOO HOO!!!
Veggie? Large cucumber, or large cabbage. Neither seems accurate.

Team blue, TTM (adding a 2nd boy to the mix).

Day I would relive? Probably my college graduation, it was such an incredible feeling of accomplishment. Or the day last May doing a 25k trail run in the mountains. Also quite awesome (I plan to do another this winter).

30 weeks! I can't believe there's only 10 weeks to go. My head is spinning. I think nesting mode is kicking in because I want to CLEAN ALL THE THINGS.

Cucumber, apparently. I don't think they've ever seen produce before.

FTM. I am one of those people that gets irritated by the socially imposed dichotomy of gender colour (ooh that's a great title for a paper!) so I'm not going to pick a colour. I'm having a girl. Next time I think we will be Team Green because it's been kind of a headache knowing in advance.

GTKY: I think I'm weird on this one. I already relive a lot of things unwillingly because I obsess over the past. I would NOT want to relive my wedding day at all. It was incredibly stressful and I was exhausted and a lot of things didn't go as planned. I don't regret anything--my mum told me that the more things go wrong, "the more it adds to the story" so we will have a great story to tell our kids! But I'd rather it fade nostalgically into a rose-tinted photograph than go back and live it over again. The same goes for most of my major milestones. Maybe my expectations are too high for things to live up to them. I should work on that.

So, this is kind of a bizarre choice. But I would pick the day I spent with my best friend (K) and her boyfriend (J) after my boyfriend (J's best friend) broke up with me. I was a complete wreck. Most people didn't get why I was so emotional over the end of a relationship that only lasted two months, but K and J got it. They made that day all about me and what I wanted to do. We ate ice cream and drank cream soda and when we ran out, we walked to the supermarket to get more. It was a fairly long walk, but none of us had a car so it was basically our only option, and it was therapeutic. We walked back swinging our bottles and acting drunk, hoping someone would try to stop us for underage drinking so we could show them it was only soda and laugh. No one stopped us though. Later they both hugged me while I cried it out. As it turns out, my situational depression turned into clinical depression and I didn't have a lot of emotional support from anyone, even my parents. That day reminds me of when my friends and I were our closest, and of two people unselfishly putting my needs before theirs and doing everything possible to make me feel loved, supported, and understood at a time when I didn't feel any of those things.

I also have a less-specific answer. If I had another chance, I would like to relive any ordinary day with one of the people or animals I've lost. Loss is weighing heavily on my mind at this time. I think sometimes we don't truly appreciate someone until they're gone. Having felt their absence now, I'd want the chance to go back and appreciate their presence and tell them how I feel. Show them the love I should have all along. It would mean so much now to be with them again at a time when I took them for granted.

How many weeks? 28

What fruit? An eggplant, apparently. I really question these fruit assignments...

Team color and are you a ftm, stm, etc? Team pink, STM

GTKY: If you could relive any day in your life up to this point, what day would it be and why? I don't know, actually. Maybe the day DH proposed, or my wedding day. Both of those days are kind of a blur. The day DS was born I can remember perfectly (at least, the parts I want to remember lol).
