Re: UO Thursday 12.8

  • Oooohhhh now I want to listen to their Christmas songs. I am a sucker for bot a capella and Christmas songs...

    I don't have a UO to share off the top of my head, but I'll be back. I have many opinions, I'm sure I'll think of something.

  • @nda_roxybabe I'm with you on Penatonix, although I have not heard their Christmas song. For me if a capella isn't live and with a good dose of humor I am not interested.

    I love Penatonix... They come on my Christmas Pandora station and I love singing to them. 

    I have no opinions of my own to offer yet...
  • My aunt was at my house this morning was just gushing about the Penatonix album.  I don't know much about them as I don't go out of my way to purchase xmas music and just play Pandora while I'm decorating.

    My UO: I love spaghetti-os with meatballs.  They must have meatballs and I refuse to look at the ingredients.  That's my working-from-home lunch today.

  • @Kipperoo I agree with you there. You're carrying an almost full size little human, of course your stomach looks bigger!

    Yes! And in her case, she's got 2 in there! The baby has to go somewhere, ladies. No shame in the belly!

  • I love Christmas music and I love a capella but I hate most of the pentatonix songs too.  I dislike a remix on a classic Christmas song.  
  • Dare I admit......I have no idea what these pentatonix songs are :blush:
    I am really bad with music....like....really bad.

  • @nda_roxybabe  I am so with you on Pentatonix.  Not a big acapella fan but they just get under my skin.  I want to go back to the Siberian Orchestra trend.  I do love them.

    @Squirtgun I am with you on the small bribes.  I think they work well with little ones.  I also they think they kind of think they teach real life.  I mean, you work hard you get the job done you get the promotion.  In high school keep your nose clean, work hard and make the grades, and get involved you get the scholarship.  Everything has it's payoff.

    My uo is that I am done with judgey people!  If you aren't hurting anyone do you!

  • Mine is I don't care about ultrasounds or hearing the heartbeat on the Doppler. I mean it's nice to hear things are going well but I get zero feelings or excitement from it. 

    Same for nursery planning. It's not my jam. I feel to real push to do it and I don't really obsess over it. 

    So tldr; I'm not a fuzzy emotional pregnant lady and don't get why people are so jazzed about it.

    I have a pregnancy related one--I hate when women get all bent out of shape because someone remarks at how big they are getting towards the end of pregnancy when it is undeniable and true. This is specifically an annoyance with my SIL, but it bothers me always. She's 35 weeks pregnant with twins and her stomach is MASSIVE. She posts pics on Facebook and then has a meltdown when people make comments like "whoa! did you eat the whole turkey?" or "how can you walk??" I agree that those aren't socially graceful comments, but you are living in the dark if you post things like that expecting to hear "Are you sure you are even pregnant?". People commenting about how big you've gotten are 99% of the time talking about the beach ball under your shirt, not accusing you of eating too many cheese fries. (Unless they actually DO call you fat, in which case they deserve to be unfriended on Facebook and in life). 
    I only made it to 34 weeks, but I remember feeling hurt by those type of comments.  I'm sure she also has to deal with strangers that point and stare at her while making comments, I felt like a freak show at the circus when we went out in public .  I just wish people had a little more common sense with the comments they make, even though they don't mean any harm.

    But seriously why do people make the huge comments.

    I LOVE nursery planning but mostly because I love home decor. But I'm with you on the lack of warm fuzzies about pregnancy. I am pretty much indifferent about it (bordering on hate at times) and am counting down the days until I'm done. Obviously, it's important to me that the baby is growing well, but I hate all of the fanfare associated with pregnancy.

  • @KMD1106 I love leggings as pants. I wear them as often as possible! But... they can not be see through, I hate when people wear them... bend over... and then you see all they got going on... there is still some modesty that should still be had with skin tight pants... just saying

    I'm right with you. I expected to feel some sort of special excitement at that first ultrasound, but I was just relieved that everything was normal. And I'm just not into the nursery stuff. I've never been a warm fuzzy person, but I thought it might be different when it came to this stuff. Apparently not. I'm still just the same overly-rational me. 
  • LilMissCrafty, people can be annoying about it for sure. People ask all the time if I want a boy because I have a girl. I honestly do not care! It'd be fun for DD to have a sister and a little boy would be a ton of fun too! Maybe family members care more than we do about what sex the little person in there is?

    Same!! My DS room (I don't like calling it a nursery) is so blah compared to the elaborate things people do. I would like to be more creative, I think. I just don't have the time or money!!

    I have appointments every 3 weeks. It is nice to know baby is doing great, but I've never cried at an u/s. I don't get excited about them. I kind of get annoyed that I have to try and fit in all these appointments around my work schedule anyway.

  • @KMD1106 I also saw them without Kelly Clarkson and was very impressed. Their vocal range is amazing.

    Also, I think some people look great in leggings and pair them with cute outfits. I think you should wear a long shirt or something to cover yourself some people should not go out of the house without looking in a mirror. I bought shirts for the purpose of covering my behind from Pinkblush but haven't gotten to the point of wearing them yet. Still seem too big without much of a bump and then I feel like I am in-between a shirt and a dress awkwardness.
  • I have a good idea at what we are having and I'm waiting to confirm at the anatomy scan.  Until then, I've just been telling nosy strangers that I'm not finding out.  It's easier.

  • @emilyalso We're team green too. Honestly, we're both hoping for a girl. H really wants a little girl and I am so excited about either, but kind of hoping more girl... I haven't had anyone ask us yet, but I love your response!

  • @NotAPlaya-JustCrushAlot - I am interested to hear how you have already predicted. (That sounds snarky and condescending, but I really mean it.) Is it because of differences/similarities to previous pregnancies? Mom's intuition?
  • I don't like all the pentatonix Christmas songs I like the ones they do traditional but the new Christmas cd has a new song I can listen to on repeat 15 times....

  • @emilyalso  I'm a psychic.  JK.  At our NT scan the tech was pretty certain it was a boy.  He was flashing the goods every time time she tried to measure something else.  I'm a little apprehensive that early because both of my nephews were supposed to be nieces until the day they were born.

    I typically don't buy into this stuff, but this pregnancy has been much different that DD's and I did feel like it might be a boy.

  • +1 for no idea who/what Pentatonix is. But most of my music lately is Moana, princess, Disney, or kids Christmas station. 

    I don't drink coffee every morning, or feel the need to. My husband is a 2+ cup every day but I could care less.

    I'd rather be told I look huge than I don't look that pregnant at 7 months (yeah, that happened  :/ ) I wanted to be like "bitch, I'm not always this fat!"

    @KMD1106 @emilyalso - My entire family (including in-laws) wants a girl. Most of the grandkids are boys with the exception of my niece. My MIL will actually join us for the scan. Since it's her first grandkid I want her to have that experience. I'm a tad nervous of her reaction if it's a boy. 

    @PghMom412 - That's an awesome response! I'm going to have to steal that. 

    (Edited: somehow I forgot I had a neice. Chalk it up to pregnancy brain.)
  • @LilMissCrafty see, I don't get that.  Why do other people care so much?  It's not like they're the ones raising them.

    I'm secretly hoping the baby has their legs crossed during the a/s so we can't find out.  We were Team Green with the first and it was more fun driving people crazy and hearing them complain than it would have been to find out.

    I’m a modern man, a man for the millennium. Digital and smoke free. A diversified multi-cultural, post-modern deconstruction that is anatomically and ecologically incorrect. I’ve been up linked and downloaded, I’ve been inputted and outsourced, I know the upside of downsizing, I know the downside of upgrading. I’m a high-tech low-life. A cutting edge, state-of-the-art bi-coastal multi-tasker and I can give you a gigabyte in a nanosecond! I’m new wave, but I’m old school and my inner child is outward bound. I’m a hot-wired, heat seeking, warm-hearted cool customer, voice activated and bio-degradable. I interface with my database, my database is in cyberspace, so I’m interactive, I’m hyperactive and from time to time I’m radioactive.

  • I think Pentatonix is fine. I'm not overly in love with them or anything. For those who don't know they are an acapella group from Canada. They may have one a singing competition? Not 100% on that part though. 

    @h&pmomma we are ALL ABOUT the Moana soundtrack over here. 

    I love snow, coffee, and spaghetti o's.

    On my last BMB they called Hot Pockets, Spaghetti O's and the like "hangover food" I've never been hungover, but I'm such a big fan of all the crap. It's terrible haha.
