@emgee27I don't think it's ridiculous, but I also think you could watch for the Easter mix that will be out any day soon (I'm already seeing Easter items at Target...) - that would have both blue and pink! But like others have said, if you can afford it, it's a cute idea.
@elasticheart13 so sorry to hear about your situation! I am sure that you will make the most of it, but totally frustrating to feel like you're on hold yet again
@RoseShadow873@AEG84@yodiggity Thanks, ladies! I think I might get a 2lb bag, they look pretty cute! I'm not too into personalization but these seemed so adorable. Plus an excuse to eat M&Ms!
And thanks ladies, the certainty of how things will be next few months is allowing me to be excited about LOs arrival and now I can't wait! Sucks that I won't graduate this summer but meh. Maybe I'm not meant to become an architect
@elasticheart13 I guess at least you know for sure and can plan accordingly. Plus, this way you can enjoy baby guilt-free, without thinking about going back to school early or having to leave for classes because it's literally not possible for you to have the baby and continue your classes for the time being. Also, your husband is FINALLY in the same country as you are! Take some time to enjoy being a mom and wife, you deserve it!

Yup, and after having seen how you ladies struggle with getting more than a few weeks maternity leave I'll count myself lucky that I'll get to have around 20 weeks of maternity leave with baby boy. so time to start nesting
I cannot believe that man is a doctor and actually thinks that vaccines probably caused that little girls leukemia.
Of course I had to see if he was still in business. Top holistic doctor 2011, direct pay at time of visit...the fact people go to someone like him makes me scared for humanity
i'm so pissed right now. I got my w2 from my part-time job and they only took out $200 of federal taxes. wtf is that? so now my tax return is non-existent. so much for my beautiful washing machine.
ok HONEST OPINION - is it ridiculous to spend $52 on a 2lb bag of personalized M&Ms to use as part of my baby shower party favors???
additional info: that's $52 WITH A 30% off coupon. I'm only allowed to pick 3 colors and since I'm team green, the shower is all the bright primary colors so I was planning on supplementing with the valentine's day color mix that's out right now (so I got the personalized, mostly 'boy' colors.) The candies have baby feet on one side and "Baby [our last name]" on the other side.
It feels like a ridiculous amount and like I should just get the regular old bag of M&Ms that has all the bright colors anyway (side cute factor: DH and I both have names that start with M.)
I don't think it is ridiculous at all. You only have one shower, do something fun. I am under strict orders NOT to do anything for my shower, but I couldn't resist and I am ordering some adorable personalized cookies.

also, unrelated (maybe) I just lost my shit my on SO because the trash leaked in the can and I asked him to go outside and rinse it out since I had already started dinner and that mother fucker asked me why I can't rinse it out in the sink. um...because it's a fucking trash can??? ugh.
How does one become a cardiologist if one is also able to believe that vaccines cause leukemia???
There are crazies everywhere, unfortunately… I especially hated his statement about his child being 'pure'. I want to punch him.
Not that I'd wish cancer on anyone, especially a child who can't control her idiot parents, but how ironic would it be if his "pure" kid ended up having leukemia or MS? Karma and all that...

I hope when his kid gets older they are a pro-vaccine advocate and denounce what their dad said.

What the heck is a holistic cardiologist ?!?!?!
As I suspected, that loser went to DO school. He sounds like he should have never got into any med school at all though if he cares so little about human health. And what kind of word is "anti-vaxxer?" What the fuck?
GUYS. Go look at the younique names thread on the baby names board if you haven't recently. Then come back here and die laughing with me.
I'm so confused right now. A feminine name that sounds like Judah, but not Judith? Judith, which has almost exactly the same meaning - and the meaning is the reason the name Judah was chosen?
Also, what is an Adlih? This Nevaeh trend is getting out of hand.

Adlih is nothing compared to Sha-Purple. Yes, a Sha-Purple exists.
@AEG84 that board is my favorite sh!t show to follow. I can't even. (And I'm way too old to say that.)
I posted on the thread recently because someone I know named their daughter Palmer. This last-name-as-first-name stuff is just out of control.
@thaisac1 those cookies are ADORABLE!! Maybe I want to spend $50 on all the cookies!!!!
I was talking about the last name as first name thing the other day and trying to think of some that would be really funny. Maybe I should name my kid "Baker" or "Potter."
@emgee27 I guess I'll be the only one to say I think it's a huge waste of money - it's one of those things that is cute in theory but REALLY does not matter. Save your dollars for something else, girl!

QBF Sage leaf caths? From the looks of it, if we all just eat a paleo diet, exercise, and don't vaccinate all our health problems will be solved! If you have some pesky problem like CHD or an acute MI then obviously you didn't keep yourself pure enough. I'm not a violent person, but man do I wish I could punch him in the face
Frustrated right now because our mailing address isn't right but it is currently our forwarding address and we're expecting mail. So tomorrow morning I get to run down and ask them to fix it and cancel our forwarding address.
As an Iowan, I can't decide if I'm more excited that the caucus is done, or that Trump didn't win.
Cruz scares me more than Trump honestly.
I'm not a fan of any of the top 3 honestly (I fall much more Libertarian and especially isolationist compared to them) but man does Trump scare me as the potential "face of the USA".
@mrstrax Most of the candidates this year scare me...
Agree.
@cmjenkies thanks for the candor! That was why I posed the question, that was my gut also but I'm still kind of undecided. They are pretty darn cute but I just saw that a 2lb bag of regular m&ms at target are $10.
@AEG84 I was going to recommend you read that board to turn your day around after the sad update from your friend. Thought it'd be good for a laugh. On a related note, are you saying I shouldn't name my child Vagi? ;-)
Also, my cousin is currently trending on Twitter as #stickerkid / #stickerguy from Clintons post caucus speech - I promise he's 100% sane/mentally competent and intelligent, just a ridiculously goofy college freshman.

But yeah. Be like Denmark. Except when it comes to handling refugees and immigrants. Then don't be like Denmark
Reminded me of this meme:
nope still nothing
i give up
