I'm glad this board hasn't gotten too soft and was able to share their opinion about how gross something that was posted on here was. 

I must have missed that post. What's it about?

There was a video posted of a parent force feeding their screaming and crying child.  I can't even begin to describe how disturbing it was and all that was involved.  But the poster was like, aw look at this cute video and calling the child a drama queen.  It got DD'd after a few hours.

I missed the original post, but it just sounds sad by what you've described.

I missed it too! Justine had to explain it to me because I was clueless. Glad I was!

The phase "something in the water" in relation to multiple pregnancy announcements really grates on my nerves. Probably because DH and I are immune to the magical water. (And I know this is a common phrase used around here and I'm not trying to call anyone out or get anyone to quit saying it. It's just my FFFC.)

I feel ya! I hated hearing that before I got pregnant. Made it even worst that my sister got pregnant at the same time as I did and everyone kept saying we were fertile sisters. UM NO it took me over 2 years to get KU

My confession: I want to see Katie's rear view. And learn how to make mine like that.

I hear ya, too.  I wish it was really true.  I'd have that water imported to my house, as soon as this baby is born.

My confession is that I am really worried about how our cats will react to the baby.  I'm not the kind of person to say "Oh well, they'd better get used to it," or making them less important just because we bring home a baby.  Obviously, the baby will be more dependent and need us more, but I don't want the cats to feel neglected or something.  My cat, especially, has always been like my baby.  And she's been extra clingy for the last month or so (I wonder if it's related to the pregnancy).  I could cry when I think about how we're going to disrupt their lives and how they may feel when this needy, crying, loud thing comes home.  I'm also worried about them acting out when they're lives are turned upside down.  We'll just take it a day at a time.

My other confession is about my neighbor.  I don't think he realized it, but I overheard part of a phone call he had yesterday.  He was on the phone, while outside, and I had my window open (b/c I'm hot all the time).  In my defense, he was yelling quite loudly into the phone.  It sounded like he was yelling at his wife about being in bed with someone else.  He was saying he doesn't care about how anything happened and she was missing the point.  This was about being in bed with someone else, etc. (Not sure who did the cheating.) The worst part was that his little 3 yr old daughter was standing there with him and watching and listening to him on the phone.

I know how you feel, I worried too!  Our youngest cat, June, thinks I am her mama and has always been very clingy and needy with me.  I worried she'd feel displaced as my baby.  Believe it or not, she loves Charlie and the reverse is true (she is C's favorite cat, no question) as well.  She will come cuddle with C on the Boppy and it is the cutest thing.  All five of ours have been great, and we haven't seen any acting out (well, no more than the usual idiocy , knock on wood.  I hope that your kitties surprise you with how well they adjust and remember when little man comes if there's anything I can do to help just let me know!

Thanks, S! :-)  I may  have questions as we get the cats accustomed to the new addition.  That's awesome how well yours are doing with Charlie.  I hope we have that kind of luck.

Some of you ladies are the most self righteous people on earth. Do you honestly think that buying this/buying that/using this/using that/so on and on makes you better? Buy cheap/buy expensive. Go green/go purple/go blue........ Just own it, shut the hell up about it, and don't judge others for not being the same way. And if you can't handle the fact that not everyone is going to be your clone, get off this message board A.S.A.P. Please advise.

I have no pets, BUT I read in a magazine this week that many celebrities hire special therapists to prepare their pets for the arrival of their babies.  While I know it's hard on both the pets and the grownups, I think there are far better ways to spend your money!

Last weekend I was a little glad that E was sick, because that meant we didn't have to get together with my H's weirdo biological grandmother (yes, that's how people in the whole family refer to her) (well, except the weirdo part, even though everyone thinks that) who was in town.

Yesterday my FIL was in town for work and he brought a present for E.  Even though it's adorable and I love it, I was selfishly sad that he'd forgotten my birthday was last week and didn't bring something for just me.  Pity party, table for one.

DH and I agree that we should limit X-ray's on K because of the inherent risks.  She's already had so many, and we agreed that when the surgeon put her in her brace in Feb, and said don't come back until May, that it was a good decision.  BUT....all I want to do is grab K and scream over to Children's and force them to x-ray her hips because I want to know if they're healing or not.  We've never gone this long between appts and it's freaking me out.  I just want answers, not just dealing with a brace every day and not knowing if it's working this time.  Sigh.

Also, I went to a wedding today and was totally high and mighty about it.  The bridesmaids got wasted and loud and out of control [plus I was pissed because two drunk bridesmaids, who I actually usually like, wouldn't let my little nephew into the bathroom line so he wouldn't wet his pants - so he got to pee outside instead].  I was a judgy judgerson.  But really...there were a lot of drunk people out of control and aren't weddings supposed to be a little classy?
