  • @jsnakehole
    I was in the same boat. I started with The obvious things I knew I'd need, and then read the "I wish I knew" thread about registries to add to it. I'm sure I'm still missing some obvious things, but I add to it as things come up. I haven't shared it publicly yet, so I can make as many changes as I want.

  • @jsnakehole congrats! I love being a boy mom (it’s all I know)! 

    @doctormom33 congrats on the new neice! That’s so exciting! 

    @derbysquirrel that’s hilarious. 
  • @scottishlass1213 no, I basically sent out an emergency ping from my truck radio. Lol. What that guy did in Hawaii was awful! The worst thing I could do would be send a tornado warning to the wrong people, which, knock on wood, has not happened and will not happen. 
  • @jsnakehole My dino-loving coworker just had a second baby boy if you want me to get some tips from her on dino gear!

  • @derbysquirrel - I'm dying laughing here. Seriously that's awesome! I've found some wacky baby stuff but that takes the cake!

    @Firemanswife11 - Oh no! Glad it was a false alarm though

    @jsnakehole - Your theme is awesome! Ditto PPs, the Amazon one has sections so you can go through and see selections of everything you might need in, say crib bedding (btw register for at least 3 of the crib mattress under-sheet pad things, the whole mattress liner not just the little ones for the middle. They are a lifesaver!)

    Your weather actually delayed DH getting home an extra day haha
  • @jsnakehole Target has a pretty good checklist too. I'm in the middle of going through it now.
  • @lolog531 my panorama moved to "results pending review" this afternoon.  Maybe I'll get results tomorrow after all!  Hopefully in the morning bc I fly out at 10am without DH and I don't want to open it to find out the sex without him.  But they will give you  your risk summary (low/high) right on the home page so at least I'll know that.

  • @derbysquirrel I’m dying at that outfit. It’s terrible and so odd. 

    @jsnakehole dinosaurs is such a cute theme! I’m pretty sure in another life I would have been a paleontologist. 
  • Our governor got arrested today. And I’m pretty much done with today. 

    Oh oh and tonight we are supposed to get a crap load of heavy fog for the 90 min drive to the airport but hey at least all the ice is melting. Maybe. Seriously. Someone put me in time out. I need a break. 
  • @dirtanddiamonds DH just came in and told me! Wtf?!?

    My DSS has a concert for band tonight. They need the kids there at 545, concert starts at 7 and lasts an hour. Um, when am I supposed to feed my kid? At 430 or at 830. Extracurriculars, for as rewarding as they are, are hell on schedules.

  • @mrsbubbles-2 - I thought we were over it. Blaaahh. 
  • @dirtanddiamonds I just saw the news article! Wtf is wrong with people?! 

    I was born born and raised IL and lived there up until 4 years ago. Two of our ex-governors are currently in prison. Some politicians are such scum.

  • I forget which forum my cousin was on while she was KU, but a woman on that forum was complaining about her husband touching everything with his "dick hands" (like he'd have his hands in his pants and then touch something in the house). 

    It's been a running joke between me and my cousin, but now, after watching my husband sit on the couch with his dick hands, made me realize that once my son comes nothing will be safe from dick hands.
    Nope. Though DS has only started doing the sit and hold and he’s almost 5. Just like resting his hand under his pants but above his undies. Sort of freaks me out though I know it’s normal hahha

    I lived in IL for a hot minute while we were stationed there. At the time the last governor to go to prison, went. So 2010-13? I don’t remember which year. But it was a running joke. 

    This one has to do with a sex scandal. Which is why I can never be a politician. Lol. According to GTKY, a few of us should probably avoid that career field. Haha. 
  • @dirtanddiamonds plenty of politicians have had sex scandals without completely ruining their careers. There are scandals, and then there is criminal behavior!

    Around that time is when Gov Blagojevich was was on trial. He was removed from office in 2009 and I think finally found guilty like 2011? He’s the one who was taking bribes for Obama’s senate seat, among other things. 

    The sex scandals are always going to come out - when do these guys learn?!?
    and totally true about any of us being politicians! Ha!

  • Oh god funny story. So i worked with a guy during the Obamas seat thing and he, in all seriousness, asked why everyone was so upset with the man when all he did was take bribes for a seat. A chair. He thought they meant an ACTUAL chair like from his desk.

    Yes. I’ve squandered my dreams of politics. Darn it. Lol.

    And yes. Thank you! That was him. Blagojevich.

    Lol. DED. 
  • I agree with @lalala2004, there's sex scandals and then there's crimes being committed. I don't really care unless they're running on a platform of family values to be a hypocrite about, but there's a vast difference between getting a blowjob from a mistress to felony criminal behaviour, imho anyway.

    But the Missouri governor? What a disgusting cretin. 

    I'm in the "toe" of Indiana, a spitting distance across the river from Illinois and Kentucky, so you can imagine getting triple the election crap on TV and in the papers. >< 
  • What are you watching on Netflix right now? Suggestions???

  • @ecwk I'm working my (long) way through Supernatural. I never watched it before so I"m determined to finish it.

    I also really love the Crown, Last Kingdom (if you dig Vikings), and we just started Black Mirror. 
  • @jsnakehole just catching up now, congrats on the boy and I am also super jealous you found out, I’ve been stalking the computer all day but I did the blood draw on the 15th so I guess I might have to wait until next week 

    @ecwk have you watched greys anatomy? That’s a good one because there is so many seasons, I might start it up again for the 4th time lol

    I started it when DS was a newborn. I’d sit on the couch nursing him all day and letting him sleep on me and binge watching it. I got as far as season 5! But haven’t watched it for over a year! Must get back in to it!!

  • @jsnakehole LOL at dick hands. My son discovered his penis at an early age and prefers to wear no pants at home (that’s how we potty trained, too). He’s very fond of fondling. 
  • @ecwk Parenthood!

  • @ecwk I tend to gravitate towards the crime/cop series. I highly recommend: Wentworth, Peaky Blinders, Hell on Wheels, Longmire, The Last Kingdom, The Fall, Hinterland, Ripper Street, Criminal Minds
  • ecwk said:

    Currently, I’m rewatching The Office because it never gets old.

    But Parenthood, Black Mirror, OITNB, House of Cards, and The Killing were all shows I enjoyed.

    Do you like documentaries?
