Oh that's not a problem! I haven't been very active on Subeta either, but I'd like to pick it back up. Life has been pretty busy recently and my husband is usually on the computer after work lol. Aww congratulations!! That's wonderful. What's his name? Did you end up going on your vacation this past summer?

Oh wow that is highly annoying. At least they haven't successfully gotten into your account? It still stinks either way. We still haven't gotten any further lol. We actually had to start all the way over. Apparently too many people were working on my case and were getting confused, so they started fresh with a brand new case number and I'm back to where I was initially. My husband said he's going to call them tonight, but really I imagine they'll just tell him there's nothing more they can do at this point. Blah.

By the way!! Congrats on Anippe's spotlight win the other day! I just noticed it this morning (been out of town/busy). I still adore her overlay and profile.

Oh yay that's so fun! I hope the baby turns out to be a happy and healthy little guy/girl. Lol I'd probably be anxious and start to think of potential names right away xD Yeaaa there's that. There's definitely a difference in generations when it comes to things like that (like my parents didn't want me moving in with my husband when we were engaged, not until we were married anyway). So I get that, to an extent. You guys will eventually decide what you want to do! And I'm sure your dad will come around given time. He'll be all giddy to have a grandbaby lol.

I RARELY hatch Togepis lol. I think I've only ever hatched two. But now with this egg extravaganza event going on, hopefully I'll be able to hatch some more baby Pokemon (and shiny, at that). There are still Pokemon I have yet to hatch from those dang eggs. I really want Riolu. I've been having an easy enough time picking up objectives and passing Pokestops recently so why not. There was a day my sister-in-law and I actually went around Crescent Springs to play. I was wanting to stop by Petco was the reason mostly lol. Plus I'm excited cause she just got her new job with her degree and she'll be off weekends, so the two of us can do the community days together now lol. I still work some Saturdays but I get off an hour before the event starts.

I drink some, but not a lot. I can only really do fruity drinks bahaha. Most of the time though, I wish I just had a soda or water xD I don't think that sounds 'awful' cause it really just depends on the woman. I know there are a lot of people that are pro-breastfeeding in public, but the thought of it really freaks me out cause I'm so...self-conscious. Not necessarily of the thought of feeding a baby, but I'd want to be super discreet lol. I don't like the thought of people just staring bahaha.

Oh that's great!! I love hearing companies that actually encourage taking a maternity leave. My company doesn't offer one, sadly. They offer a disability leave, but I heard from one of my coworkers that you can't just use it immediately; you have to be out of PTO time completely. And I was like "But what if you had a baby in like, February" and they said "exactly." Ugh. I'm about to start job-hunting again though, so hopefully that won't be an issue by the time my husband and I want to start trying lol. Speaking of which, do you have to do any heavy-lifting at your job? Curious what you do and if you'd still be able to continue to work cause I know you're not really supposed to lift a lot when you're pregnant. But then again, I'm not sure if that's during the whole pregnancy or when you're farther along.

Oohh yay!! I've been to Panama City once before. It was a lot of fun! It's just so relaxing to get away from the daily grind back at home, too. I'm glad you had money set aside for it already. That would've been awful if you couldn't go after all.

Nooo it's okay! I've been unable to log onto Subeta due to my Microsoft account being hacked. I've got Windows laptops and computers and they all need my Microsoft password for me to get on so rip. It's been an ordeal getting customer support to help me out. It happened a month ago.

Oh my goodness!! At first I was like "Should I say congratulations??" but then I saw that you said you're excited so, congratulations!! You're going to be a wonderful mother. How far along are you?

Ohh Munchlax! I've got a couple of those, but I don't hatch them often. And what's funny is that I can't recall the last time I've seen a Sandshrew lol. I haven't seen a single once since the shiny was announced. As for Vulpix, I've been seeing them a little more frequently! I have a good amount of candy for it now.

I've been doing pretty well when it comes to keeping up with my research objectives, so I've been taking advantage of the breakthrough rewards. I was able to get Regirock and Registeel. Hopefully Regice will be next! Just for the sake of registering it into my Pokedex.

Ohh you saying that your baby is due in October gave me an idea of how far along you are now, lol. I don't have a ton of close friends, but they're good friends I like to hang out whenever we can (which is like, rarely lol). They just all happen to be getting married this year. That is difficult to say this far in advance especially. I don't have a kid so I obviously can't say for experience, but I wouldn't think 2 months would be too early? If you were planning on leaving them with a sitter. But it would depend on how you feel about being apart from your baby. Now that I think about it, my cousin had her baby mid-August a couple years ago and she left her son with a sitter for my wedding end-September, just a month later. She could've brought him if she wanted to, but they decided not to.

Oooh that's fun! Where are you going? Knowing a vacation is coming up (regardless how far away it is) really does help. A break is on the way! I've only requested a few days off this year so far (and one of those days was due to me finding out several accounts had been hacked, including the Microsoft account).

Oh goodness I've been slacking sooo bad xD I forgot that my art program trial has expired so I didn't end up drawing the other day. Need to actually buy it. Kingdom Hearts 3 released though sooo that has been consuming my time as of late. Oh no! My car is still hanging in there. It's only like 12 years though and I still haven't hit 100k in terms of miles on the car. I don't have a car payment right now so I'm going to wait as long as I possibly can lol.

Yes! It was cool to find that shiny Santa Pikachu. It's my first shiny Pokemon I found out in the wild, outside a community day. I've been playing pretty diligently still (at least try to grab a few Pokestops for research objectives and to catch some Pokemon). I"ve been doing well when it comes to turning in objectives towards the breakthrough rewards. I finally got my Lugia, granted through a trade. The SIL needed a Ho-oh which I had two of, so we traded. Lugia has horrible IVs buuuut at least I have one now. Hopefully I can still open one from a box this month.

That really is tough! Work has been kind of...stupid in terms of hours recently as well. Total this year, I've got 144 hours I can use. But I have at least 4 or 5 weddings I have to go to this year, with two of them being out of town so I'd need the Fridays off too. And some other events I have to go to here and there. I need to plan out how many hours I need to set aside for those events and see what I have leftover.

I adore Grimrr’s overlay. I went to look at it again lol. And oooo I didn’t realize they did art for Blooo as well! She looks lovely. I have my fair share of Core art lol. I’m probably going to prioritize 188 next. I’d like to get her spotlight ready. My husband has to travel for work in a couple weeks so I imagine I’ll be more active on Subeta that week. Maybe I’ll see about commissioning an overlay for her. I don’t want to go too crazy though lol. I want to save money.

Ooh! I had some insane good luck! On Christmas Eve, I found a shiny Pikachu wearing a Santa hat! The CP is awfully low but idc. It’s my first random shiny find outside of community days lol. I didn’t get to participate in the Totodile day that happened today. The roads weren’t the greatest due to the snow we got. I was so bummed, too! That’s a community day I would’ve loved to participate in because I rarely see Totodiles. Ah well.
