Re: UO 7/12
A place to safely air your controversial opinions. Although we agree on a lot of stuff anyway haha.
However, if you are anti-vaxx, this would be the place to air your opinion. Just be aware that it is also a place where we are comfortable disagreeing, as your held opinion may be someone else’s UO.
Also hate the big bows, little ones are okay but with it starting to get chilly when our LOs are born mine will be in hats!
I hate all the headbands. But, I’m sure if Blast is a girl, I’ll probably put one on her at somepoint for some reason that I cannot currently fathom.

I don’t even know what you guys are talking about. I’m going to make a terrible mom.
Although, for the record my son never listens to kids music at home. Her listens to Irish Folk/Drinking songs.
I do know Raffi and I do like Baby beluga but I just don't want to hear the annoying songs over and over again!

I really hated the fact that I had to wait until soccer season was over to get them done.
Pro Raffi and all the fun children’s songs and stories. Bill Harley was also a fave growing up.
Pumpkin spice only in coffee or muffins. Keep that ish from getting everywhere!
I'm going to have to Google Raffi later. I've heard the name before but I'm not sure.
Anyone listen to Fred Penner when they were little? I love all those songs! I'll sing "Take me ridin' in my Car Car" over the "Itsy Bitsy Spider" any day!
+1 to bows and headbands being weird. I was telling my mom and SIL that i just think they look silly on a bald baby! If the baby has hair it makes more sense.
I have little cousins that are 4 and one has them and takes very good care of them, makes sure the backs are on, has help cleaning them nightly, ect she can even wear small dangly ones shes very girly and doesn't play rough, the other wants nothing to do with them so she doesn't have them. Shes not ready for them. I think its definitely up to the Individual kid and type of kid they are.
DD1 - BFP 7/23/15 (EDD 3/31/16). "We believe in you rainbow" DOB 4/2/16
DD2 - BFP 2/9/18 (EDD 10/19/18). "Grow baby grow!" DOB 10/24/18
BFP 11/16/20 (EDD 7/31/21). "Round 3 FIGHT!"
My UO is probably that beer is gross- even the way it smells.
Yes to pumpkin spice coffees and baked goods - everything else is just gross - MH bought pumpkin spice popcorn last year because he thought I liked everything pumpkin spice - I couldn’t even eat it.
@knottieamusements I missed the Easter bunny discussion... when was it?
+1 to waiting to pierce ears. My mom waited until I asked and I was not nearly old enough to handle it (I think I was 5 or 6). I had a lot of issues with them and they were always infected... the only reason I even wanted them done is because a neighbor told me I was a boy because I didn’t want my ears pierced but my little sister did. Kind of wish my mom had said no to both of us until we were older.
I have seen that for some people, getting baby girls ears pierced is a cultural thing.

+1 to just saying no to kids songs. Lol DS knows old McDonald bc my mom sang it to him, it's their thing. And that damn Baby Shark song bc of DH's uncle. But, if you give him a choice, he will currently choose all things Mike Shinoda, Twenty One Pilots, Papa Roach, Shinedown, Ozzy, Slipknot/Stone Sour and Mushroomhead
+1 to team headbands! Although I prefer them more proportional to the baby. Like someone else said, it will be cold here when DD comes, so it will mostly be hats.
+1 to waiting on ear piercing. We are big on bodily autonomy. Not to mention I've seen so many people end up with uneven/weirdly spaced earrings from getting them as a child. (I believe I was like 3 when I asked for mine to be done.) She will also go to a parlor, seen to much damage from guns.
@bntfroggie I was one of those babies
Also I would normally join your anti-coffee league (because nope) but pregnancy hase craving it like nothing else! Wtf body... (Although it has to be highly flavored, with creamers etc lol)
We recently started putting headbands on DD because her hair was in her face a lot, and she refuses ponytails but tolerates headbands. That's it.
Re: ear piercing. We took DD to get hers done for her 3rd birthday because she had been begging for it for months. We explained that it would hurt and she would have to take care of them. She did surprisingly well with it considering she was only 3.
I don’t mind big bows and headbands but always preferred the smaller ones for DD. It took her close to 3 years to grow hair that we could do anything so she wore a LOT of headbands. Now that she actually has hair she likes to wear her hair in pigtails.
I also super love headbands and have a whole collection for newborn portraits. I felt like I needed to get some new ones so my kiddo is more special than the other babies I photograph, though, and I just opened the box last night and bawled my little eyes out. Also I got a fox hat, because we've decided to call her a baby fox somehow.
Pro bows and headbands too.
Always think I’m pro-pumpkin spice lattes (it sounds so good) and then when I try it find out I’m not a fan. I do like other pumpkin flavored things.
