General chatter while we wait (and commentary on the "pull out method")

Still time for an Aria Dobs…. ;P
Honestly though how cute would and Aiden-Aria sibling pair be?!

“It’s a boy, let’s get pho” hahhahahaha
There’s a reveal I can get behind XD

I’ll wait for more to chime in, and also have more to to say about family reactions. My side of the family know now, and we also told hubby’s Dad who swung by to say hi. My mom and his dad live in the same neighborhood. Actually I don’t know if y’all knew this but we grew up in the same neighborhood but didn’t get formally introduced until after we graduated (when I was 20). I knew of him in high school and we crossed paths several times but never had a conversation until then. Actually that’s a fun story if y’all care to hear it but it’s 4am so I guess I should probably go back to sleep. Ugh insomnia.

Aiden-Aria sibling pair is cute!
@Jules8 glad you’re joining us!
@DobbyForever I hope you don't get sick.
@gigglebox I’m of the ‘just send it’ mentality. It’s basically what you did with you & your family learning anyways.

@gigglebox Happy Birthday!!!! I hope you have a great day. I’m team find out as soon as possible because I’m impatient and horrible at guessing. lol Also, that’s pretty crazy you guys grew up so close to each other. When I went to my husbands parents for the first time it looked so familiar. Then in front of his neighborhood was a diner that I used to hang out at alllll the time and so did he…I have always wondered if we were ever there at the same time and have no clue.
@DobbyForever I hope you don’t get sick! I went to school to be a teacher and worked with kids for 10ish years. I was always sick! I took vitamin C plus all year round, it helped.

Aria and Ellie are very common in our area. Both of my girls have one on their class. They both also have several mavericks and Annalyn’s. I like Robert! I would go with Rob or Robbie over Bob, though the one Bob I know was soooo nice.

Dobs take your elderberry!
Just got home about 30 minutes ago and so tired…already under my covers. The visit was great! Good company, a very generous gift from my mom, and of course finding out about the baby being healthy! So it was a great and memorable birthday indeed ^_^ i ate a lot of good food. My body is not happy and a bit confused because I’ve been barely eating for weeks and suddenly I gorged for 24 hours lol. I feel like a chunky slob. But symptoms haven’t been bad the past couple days. I was pretty exhausted today but I can eat again it seems and the nausea is gone (for now anyway). I’m hoping to pick my workouts back up this week.

Gigs don't even put that into the universe lol. I don't even want to date because A- everyone at this stage comes with kids and/or B- even if they don't have kids they want kids... and it gives me such dating ick to think about how I can 100% get talked into having another kid. But I really don't want that. I am burnt. Out. Like even everyone I matched with who were coworker approved at happy hour are just giving me such ick today because I'm busy advocating for A/ setting up playdates/ working and they can text me super nice messages and I'm just like GO AWAY I NEED SPACE. So yeah. For everyone's sake, my baby maker is closed.

I wanna hear the story!

Jules yeah! My brother took soooo much vitamin c when he was in this elite choir at school. They couldn't afford to get sick because A- it threw off the harmony and B- even if you could still physically sing then your voice was all messed up. I usually don't get sick. I wonder if it's because I had a bad case of covid before school started and my body is just wrecked.

A is so whiny today, too. I'm still slightly under 100 for my temp. Itchy throat. It's all good. Safeway had a crazy sale/clearance on so many wines. Like $30-$40 off. I'm sure it's an exaggeration / they marked it up to look like it's a bigger sale than it is... ie I got a bottle that they said retails for $70, Google search shows it's more like $40-$50, but Safeway was selling it at $25. My mom was like, "Didn't you say you were going to stop drinking at home?" And I said, "No, I said God will give me a sign. And then all of the red wine was on sale. So clearly it was sign that I need more blood of Christ in my life." She did not laugh. So I made the same joke with my cousin, but I said "Christ of Blood" instead and then joked that I had too much Holy "Spirit" in me. She laughed. I'm sure this is blasphemy but I like to think God has a sense of humor.
