I need creative help here - we might finally go public with the LO this weekend - we're going kayaking (me, DH and DD) this weekend so I was thinking maybe it would be cute to do something related to that.
Something with a life jacket maybe? Fitting in the kayak?
Any ideas?

umm maybe like the oars/paddles whatever you call them crossed and 2 adult life jackets adn 2 kids around it...adding another paddler to our kayak oct 2017....clearly i know nothing about kayaking lololzzz something using kayak terminology.
I want to go public with our baby girl news... We already went public with our "general" baby news and it was a picture of our cat, Henry, with parenting books, a onesie, and ultrasound pic that said, "Henry is brushing up on new reading materials! Baby _____ (last name) due October 17!"
It was pretty underwhelming compared to the ideas in the social announcements media thread lol. I think I may just find something "girly" and put it next to him a post a pic....

hahaha I don't know if there is such a thing as kayak terminology. But I do like saying the word kayak.

We have a pink and blue life jacket...so maybe we can get a picture of the DD standing between DH and I holding both with something like..."What do you think - Pink or Blue for Number 2? We'll find out in October!"

I haven't seen this week's yet. I have a soft spot for catelyn too, but I feel like she needs to get her butt in gear. Either enroll in school or find a job. She sits around doing nothing all day.
I didn't know it was back on! Can't stand Farrah or Janelle. They are both so cruel to their moms. I know their mom's aren't perfect in any way but it just makes me cringe the way they talk to them sometimes.
@dumbledoredies don't even get me started on Jenelle. She is so full of crap and I can't believe how she treats her mom. That woman has taken care of your son while you ran around with random dudes to party and do drugs and that's how you treat her?!?!
I've come around to janelle. It really isn't fair how Barbara keeps jace from her. It is making it so much harder on him. She has mental issues but she has totally come around and trying.
Totally agree on Catelyn. She needs to do something. I know it's hard for her with depression. But she needs to busy herself.
@carries2018 I caught up last night and can't believe the sh*t Amber's fiance said about her to the producers. I'm so angry for her. Also I've started fast forwarding through all the Farrah scenes cause her face hurts my eyes and her words hurt my heart.
P.S. DH won't let me watch teen mom without him. But then he asks me dumb questions like "What is Pitocin?" and I'm all like "Have you not been paying attention for the past 7 years?? They give you the definition every time."
Barbara is just concerned with how Jace is going to adapt. Jenelle keeps a revolving door of men in her life and none of those kids should be around it. Jace doesn't even call Jenelle mom. I'm sure Barbara isn't trying to keep him from her for no good reason. At her age I bet the last thing she wants to do is raise her grandson.
I agree that Janelle is trying but just because you're trying doesn't mean you should immediately get custody back! Both her and her mom are so uneducated and have so many issues. I hate how they will talk about their issues with each other TO JACE. Leave the poor kid out of it! He's going to have so many issues when he gets older because of this.
@roo_baby yes!!! I am so disgusted by him!! "I don't care who you have to give oral to" what?! Who says that?! To basically your boss/coworker. He is so slimy. I really feel sick after watching that.
@OliveOyl2014 I used to feel that way. But she has been pretty steady for the past 2 years and she is still no budging. I'm not saying janelle is perfect. But neither is Barbara I hate how they both pin jace against each other. I really think that is doing more harm than anything. Janelle seems to be in a safe position (no drugs or abuse) what is she waiting for?
@purplestarz drugs. Supposedly that's why his dad kicked him out at the end of last season. But his family worked hard to keep that quiet I think that was kinda shitty for her to just put out there. I mean gossip has already been going on that. But between that and her comments with Mackenzie. I get it's difficult position to be in. #1 you are looking out for and protecting your son. But to just even have no understanding of the toes you stepped on I dunno that says a lot about her character to me. It isn't just chatting with your friends. It's literally telling the whole world.
Some days I'm team Barbara, some days I'm team Jenelle. I think Barbara is trying to protect herself more than Jace, but I also don't 100% trust Jenelle. I hate that they ask Jace what he wants. Yes, he's old enough to have opinions on it but it really sucks for him to be put in the middle. He's not gonna tell either one that he doesn't want to live with them, even if it's true.
I get annoyed at Maci talking behind Ryan's parents backs when they have been nothing but nice to her and even help out with her other kids. I agree they enable Ryan, but that's between them and him.
@carries2018 she also claimed to be in a safe position with the other guys too. Not until they broke up did she claim abuse. I can't remember how long she's been with the current guy, but she switches boyfriends so quickly and abruptly that I can see why Barbara would be hesitant.
But I agree that they need to work out their issues away from Jace because the poor kid ends up hearing everything. My heart hurts for him so bad.
Well long enough to get pregnant and have a kid. Her other relationships looked pretty shady right away haha. I know what you are saying believe me. It's just I don't think Barbara is this shining parenting figure. I think if it weren't for her jace would be...well I don't want to think about it...janelle is really lucky to have her. But I think this battle is causing more harm to jace than letting janelle have him. And they are at a crossroads where the timing makes sense.
@carries2018 I figured that was it but maybe I got the impression that it's something more since I thought we all speculated about that last year. Who knows. I used to really like her (and honestly out of the OG girls she is still my favorite) but I agree she shouldn't be spouting her mouth off on some things.
Nearly all these girls jump into relationships and need to get married right away. For going through so much so young by yourself basically they are all so dependent on men. Like they meet a guy and it's they love them.
Also Jenelle (apparently I've been spelling it wrong) has no idea what birth control is.
The teen mom's make for some great gifs though.
^one of my favorite Jenelle moments.
They all continue to fail at birth control. Maci has had 3 kids based on the assumption that she couldn't get pregnant. You would think after the first she would realize that she could. They claim on all of the Dr. Drew shows to care about safe sex but they keep making babies. Catelyn is my favorite from OG cause at least she tries to be responsible.
Also, I confuse Ryan and Adam all the time. Obviously Adam is worse, but they are both pretty equally sucky.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Ryan. He means well he was just enabled his whole life he never had to grow up. I am worried about his drug issues. I hope he can work through them and not lose everything.
These girls are just chasing after perfect families they don't care how they get there. But that of course means there is no base to these relationships and they don't work out.
@roo_baby I didn't realize Maci thought she couldn't get pregnant and then went on to get pregnant lol. Isn't Kailyn pregnant with her 3rd kid, 3rd baby daddy? Oof!

for real though, Matt sucks this week. I usually mess around on my phone during Farrah's parts.
Im really curious as to what exactly maci was alluding to in regards to what Ryan is doing though!
