I just had a dream that I was at an Eras tour concert looking for sweet potato vines b/c Taylor mentions brown sugar in one of her songs and since brown sugar goes well on sweet potatoes she promised her fans she’d have them growing b/w seats for fans to sprinkle brown sugar on

Run in opposite directions to see who your dog loves more.. 😅

[madeline odent @oldenoughtosay]

ohhhhh my GOD I just told the dog “hey we’ll go for a walk once the baby’s awake, okay?”

and she looked at me, ran upstairs, stuck her head in the nursery, and HOWLED

[Alexandra Starkman @alliestarkman]

Haha no, my water did not break, I said. Some bird just flew into the house, flapped around and then flew back out and I’m just sitting here with this baby still firmly stuck inside me. Apparently nothing can scare this little one out of the womb. Lord help us tonight (3/3)

So here I am, sitting on my couch, 41 weeks + 2 days pregnant, miserable and mentally preparing myself for the planned visit to the hospital tonight to induce labor, trying to enjoy the perfect 68deg sunshiny weather with my backdoor open to the patio, when suddenly… (1/3)

[Alexandra Starkman @alliestarkman]

a bird flies directly into my house and starts flapping around above my head. I do love birds but I screamed in fear and stayed glued to the couch paralyzed in disbelief as the husband comes running from the basement asking “did your water break?” (2/3)

Ate an entire bag of Snyders milk chocolate covered pretzels and my heart rate subsequently spiked to 103 bpm. Maybe not the smartest decision I’ve made in a while.

I got ghosted on Facebook marketplace and I feel so offended

Not a bad spot to rest when going on 4+ hours at the airport due to delays. Good job on the couches @DENAirport this one pregnant belly appreciates it

Decorating the Christmas tree and watching NASA TV waiting for the Orion reentry!

This is the most interesting stat @apple health has provided me via my Apple Watch. A decline in cardio fitness corresponding with when I became pregnant 🤔 coulda guessed it, but seeing those numbers sure puts it into perspective!

[Alexandra Starkman @alliestarkman]

Does anyone even work these days except for Expectant Mothers 🤪

[Alexandra Starkman @alliestarkman]

I love it when I find mold on my blueberries after eating half the pint in my yogurt 🥲

Artemis I. Wow.

[Lockheed Martin Space @LMSpace]

The @NASA_Orion spacecraft, built by us, has cleared the tower and is headed to the Moon!

Shout out to my husband! This is what he’s been working on for the past 2 years.

“Approximately 40% of all the food that gets grown, gets thrown away.”

Do Good Chicken wants to tackle food waste by turning it into feed for farm animals. @rumireports goes inside to see the process #NewEconomyForum

Here’s something scary for Halloween: give your dog shredded carrots not knowing they’re allergic and see (and smell) their bright orange diarrhea the next day 💩
