I plan on starting with Back in the Burbs. I’m hoping to knock out all my color cards first but sometimes other challenges get in the way so we shall see how fast I can knock them out

Sarah, the date started on your shelf shows that you started this one on January 22. Only books started after the start time/date count for Uno.
Apologies. Must be getting my challenges mixed up of when books could be started. I deleted it from the uno shelf
That’s a bummer. It can be confusing between the different groups, for sure!

Series title is one of those things that gets confusing between different challenges. While you can use it for spell-outs in Perks and NBRC, it doesn't count for Uno. It's only place in series, so #1 for this one.

It's just easier on me. But if we find we need something as the mini challenges get posted I'm not opposed to making one.

I fixed the Meet in the Penalty Box issue and I promise I'll get this. It may just take a second. LOL
I add my books to my shelf when I mark them as Currently Reading. Some years it takes me a few days/books to remember, also!

I was always asking my doctor when we could induce, starting at about 32 weeks. I was so uncomfortable! With my first my water broke and that started labor. With my second, I was induced because of prior pre-eclampsia. With my third I finally discovered that if you go through labor without your water breaking it is so much easier. Something about the water cushioning the contractions.

Hmm I could that. With my first I started having contractions 2 days before my due date and they were the right timing for when you should go in but they were not strong enough to push labor further so I was sent home until I couldn't handle them anymore. Ended up going back on my due date at like 5 in the morning and my water broke when they were checking me and I do feel like my contractions were way more intense after that lol.
