Let's hear them ladies! 

Mine today . . . in regards to the Magic Mike movie I am not going to see it and I do not think Channing Tatum is hot at all.

I absolutely hate when I hear a parent say they have to "babysit" their own child. Ex: a guy I know says "I can't do anything tonight I'm babysitting while my wife goes out...". No, you're not babysitting! It's your kid, dummy!!

Channing Tatum is hot to me, but not Matthew Mchanaghy (sp).  He always looks like he just stepped off the beach and is probably sandy.  And isn't he a little old to be a male stripper?

Mine are lame and food related.

I like coffee. I like chocolate. I might even drink a mocha from time to time but I do not like mocha or coffee flavored desserts. Yuck!

 I think skinless boneless chicken breasts are disgusting. I'll eat it if it's used in stir fry or something else where it's cut up bit if someone marinates it and cooks it and asks me to eat it, I might gag.

I agree with you!

I think setting up pack-n-plays/bassinets/co-sleepers upwards of 7-8 weeks early is a bit crazy. Ours will be in a box until I am in the hospital. Even the Rock-n-play. No point in having space taken up and it collecting dust for twoish months.

edit: I should mention my reservations are because I don't want to have to set up stuff, have a preemie and have to come home to baby stuff that can't be used for a week or two while my LO's in the NICU. I'm not even putting in the car seat for another week since LO wouldn't have a chance at coming home until after then.

I hate when you're at a drive through and the person on the intercom doesn't tell you your total before you pull up to the window. It makes me feel pressured and nervous and rushed and frazzled!! I like to have my change ready.

When I look at him, I think syphilis. He looks so trashy in exactly the wrong way.

Especially since it takes two seconds to set it up.

This drives me batty!! Going along these lines I can't stand when dads/moms say things like 'well, you got to golf for 4 hours so now I get 4 hours to go do something.' There should definitely be a nice balance of time 'off' for sure, but parents that count it down to the hours are over the top.

I don't support fundraising for adoptions.

Backstory:

DH's cousin's wife recently announced on Facebook that in addition to their 3 biological sons, they are in the process of adopting two girls from Africa. I think this is great but she no exaggeration posts 10 times a day that they need financial support. She posts links to their PayPal account, they're having a fundraiser at their home, they're selling raffle tickets, etc.

I truly think adoption is wonderful, DH and I even have talked about doing it ourselves, if you can afford it. If you have to ask people for money, then maybe you're not in a place financially to do it. To me it is like setting up a PayPal account and asking people to pay my medical bills during this pregnancy.

I have to say that is pretty callous - we are talking about human beings here and children, at that.  It is extremely expensive so there are a lot of people who can afford to take care of a child on a day-to-day basis but could never afford the lump sum you need to make it happen. If all the people in the world who wanted to adopt, but couldn't due to financial reasons, were able to get money from all the people who do not want to adopt but can support someone to do it financially, that would be awesome!  It is not like they are asking you to help them buy a new car or a new house, for goodness sake!

I have set up a few things but just because it makes me feel productive instead of just sitting around and waiting.

I'm totally this wife this weekend... DH has a friend coming into town this weekend.  I spent 3 days deep cleaning the house (it didn't LOOK messy, but our closets were hiding all sorts of hoarding treasure).  He is picking his friend up tonight, staying in a hotel so they don't have to get up too early to golf tomorrow, golfing at a PGA course, coming back home (where his friend will stay in our son's room so he'll have to sleep in our room so I WON'T get any sleep), golfing twice on Saturday, night out with friends Saturday night, and golf on Sunday before he takes his friend back to the airport.  I'm TOTALLY calling a girls' weekend away after the baby is big enough for me to leave!  DH has these types of weekends all the time and I've yet to have one

My UO is I dislike wedge flip flops.  I've never seen someone wear them well.  They're just too clunky.

I may step on a few toes here, but I hate it when people update their status on FB and in the post write "I love you little *insert childs name*" or something like "Baby girl is 5 months old today, you make mommy so happy!"  We get it, you love your kid and all, but your baby can't read your fb update.

I totally agree with this.  We haven't set anything up except for the furniture.  I haven't even washed clothes to put away yet.  Why wash them and have them sit in a dresser or a closet for two months?  No reason to let things collect dust.  The only thing we're considering is putting the car seat in a couple weeks before she's due so that our dog can get used to sharing the back seat. 

This is why we will be putting some things up in a couple weeks. We want the dog to get used to the swing and other stuff.

I understand why people would not want it up though.

Well yes you are definitely entitled to a girls weekend! I'm just saying when moms/dads go down to the hours constantly it irks me...almost like it's a competition to get away from the kids.

This has probably been said before but I am tired of the 3rd tri board now.  It is the same stuff all the time.  I especially don't like the posts about being done with being pregnant.  I am big and uncomfortable too but I want baby to stay in there until it's ready and I think I will miss being pregnant and feeling the movements.  Nothing wrong with the complaints, I am just tired of that same topic coming up every day.

I am ok with medications during pregnancy. I took an Ambien last night. Best decision I have made in a while. My hip pain was gone and I slept like a rock (except for the peeing).

Definitely agree with you on this one. Even though I have 4.5 wks left I'm still not putting anything up till the 2 wk marker.

I agree! Also, i hate the husbands and wives that profess their love to eachother on FB all the time.  Okay, you're married so you can easily say "you're the best baby, I love you so much" in person or via text message!  Posting it on your spouses timeline everyday is just trying to get attention.

I do believe there needs to be changes to our current healthcare system but I don't think this is the solution at all.   Should be interesting to see how they plan to enforce this.  There are some good parts of the Obamacare but there are some really bad parts as well.

I'm also putting mine in next week simply because i'm the one who knows how and I doubt I'll be able to move the way I need after that. Lol. Plus it's a celebration for hitting my "goal date". DH doesn't know how to do car seats and I'm always the one who moves them. It was hard to do DS's so IDK what the base will be like.

But now that there's been a Supreme Court ruling, it can be fine tuned without feat of fully taking it away. And I think it is so awesome that Obama was able to cross party lines and this was decided not as a liberal or conservative issue but as one supported by both. There is nothing more attractive than a capable man.

I am just justifying it to myself using the "You got X amount of time so I also get X amount of time"  I have to force myself to put myself first.  I always feel guilty about it! 

A agree with the "mommy loves you" Facebook posts being annoying...  Along the same lines, the "Happy birthday to my son, Johnny" annoy me.

ObamaCare's passing scares me because it can play out SO many ways.  I also don't want anything to go his way leading up the the election because I'm not an Obama fan.

This was not supported by both parties.  I will keep the rest of my statement on this to myself.  But that's probably also my UO.

Also, I agree that it's been hacked up but that is because no one can agree and the fact that this man was able to get it passed in the first place is a freaking miracle. Unless you'd like to pay more in taxes covering overpriced emergency care for the uninsured.
