Yeah yeah. I still don't like this creepy baby widget thing but there isn't many out there, you know? Like 3. And the one I had doesn't work. At all.
I'll probably change it to the pink one like FreezerBuns has, but with me only being 6w2d, it's still too creepy. It looks like a butterfly. Not that the one I have now doesn't look creepy, believe me - I totally think it does.
But what the fuck. I'm putting it up. Totally going against my own "those things are creepy and I'll NEVER have one." Still creepy, but I ~want~ one.
Don't like it? Shove it. (said in the nicest possible way, of course. ~wink~)
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Hey, at least you chose just one. I'd probably have all three of the baby tickers on my sidebar! :-)
Congratulations on your prenancy! Visiting from NCLM
It will at least be nice to see it getting less creepy by the week!
I like that widget actually. My only gripe with that sort is that when I go to a blog I like to know how far along the lady is...and this kind makes me have to do some math, lol.
I don't fault you for it, but they are creepy:-)
I like that one better than the one that I have, but wordpress won't allow the one like yours. I like that the baby moves. Creepy, yes. Amusing, yes. (I know...simple minds are easily amused.)
Congratulations on your pregnancy! You'd think someone would be able to design a wider variety of tickers.
Here vial NCLM
I think they're creepy sometimes. I mean, the ones w/ the baby bouncing around in those balls? They look like sea monkeys! They kinda scare me. But I WANT ONE!!
:) no problems if you lie. It's all good. I prefer to think of it as "changing my mind".
Maybe I'm a Creep because I don’t find it creepy. I actually fell in love with it the first time I saw it on someone else’s blog.
You know what's creepy to me?
A hairless Cat.
Yay for anybody who loves them and/or has one. but they give me a case of the Eee-Bee-Gee-Bee's (And the giggles cuz they look so gawd damn funny and they look so clueless)
i wish i could put up an ugly baby widget thing. congrats.
jessica
Heh. They do look like funny little grubs :)
Wow, did they have to make it look SO much like an Alien? Seriously.
I don't think they're too creepy...but why does it say you have 965 days to go? That's a super long pregnancy... ;)
Widget away, my dear!
Although I understand your frustration at finding a likeable widget. I have to admit to serious widget dissatisfaction on my site... :)
J
I think this widget is the best one of the couple that I've seen.
I'm going to have to say I old you so lol. It's totally creepy but it's so great that you get to have one!!!!!
You go girl! You got one and as long as you happy, that is all that matters :)
Here thanks to NCLM
I do find the widgets get more interesting with time -- but I think I would probably succumb to it too..the hairless cat comment made me laugh -- in part because I just made some reference to one of those...as for baby widgets..shout it from the rooftops sister -- it's YOUR blog...
xoxox
Pam
Wordpress blocks most available widgets, so I had VERY little to choose from!
It's creepy, but it is fun to watch the baby grow. :)
