Anyone got anything today? Make 'em good!!

I really hate when people say they are pregnant for 10 months.  40 weeks does NOT equal 10 months!!!!!!!  If there were only 4 weeks in every month we would have 13 months a year.  From conception you count NINE months and take away one week for your due date.....so THERE 10 month pregnant ladies! HAHA....I have no idea why this bugs me so much, but it does.

This is definitely a UO to some of my Mom friends, ESP the crunchy ones, but DS learns a helluva lot from Sesame Street and I let him watch it daily. He says words and phases that I never taught him that Elmo has! He's not addicted to TV in anyway, but I allow him to watch Elmo.

Shoot, they would hate me!  DS has been watching way too much TV the last few weeks while I have felt like poo.

He likes Chuggington, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Thomas, but its not daily like Elmo. I don't mind Sesame Street at all esp now when I have zero energy.

I think there is nothing wrong with kids watching TV in moderation...It has been my saving grace the past couple weeks with this god awful morning sickness.

My UOs- I hate the tv show Friends...sorry! I could never get into it and everyone on the show really got on my nerves.

I think Toms are fugly...I just can't understand why people go crazy over them...

I think that's it for now.

DS LOVES Sesame Street!!! I find it very educational and lately all of our vacations have been to Beaches Resorts and they sponsor Sesame Street! He just loves the characters and knows all of them!! He even does a great imitation of Cookie Monster!!!

TV has been my second parent while DH has been OOT this week. How else would I shower in the morning before work? Luckily DD can be trusted to not get in to trouble.

I agree about the Toms.

I agree with this.  I never could get into this, no matter how many epidsodes my sister tried to make me watch.

I don't have any of my own at the moment, I thought of one earlier in the week, but can't remember.  Hopefully it will come back to me.

I hate that as soon as people find out I'm pregnant they think its an automatic pass to touch my belly!  ANYONE who knows me knows I have a lot of personal space but honestly if you can't see the bump, please don't touch me.  And if I'm being super honest I don't want anyone touching it ever ever ever besides me and DH

I think it is weird when people want to rub your "belly" when you don't even have a bump...I am kinda "meh" when it comes to people rubbing my bump (once I actually have one) It really did not bother me when I was pregnant with DD and I do not think it would bother me now...unless it was some sketchy random person...then I would find it creepy.

I can't post this on my BMB for my DD because it was inspired by some posts this week.

I think women that never take time for themselves after they become moms are a bit crazy. Those that blame their Hs for never allowing them time or giving them time. Don't wait for him to give you a night off. Take it! Just say "I'm seeing a movie with Michelle. I'll be home at 10." He's not your father. You don't need permission. He is perfectly capable of watching the kids. And if he's not? Or you don't trust him to? WhyTF did you have kids with him? Make him be capable. He will never learn if you do everything for him.

if I wasn't mobile, I would post a standing ovation. I mean, seriously, how do you never get to have "you" time?! The dads are just a as capable of watching the kid alone as we are. You can't raise a happy child, if you yourself aren't happy.

Completely. agree. 100%.

Luckily DH gets this so when I go out to my monthly mom's night out with my girlfriends its NBD. Also, he looks forward to the time just DD and him...last time I came home and they were "playing" rock band together. Super cute! I am planning a weekend getaway this September with some girlfriends and can't wait...

andplusalso- I expect DH to do the same thing from time to time with his friends. I think it's important in a relationship to have some "me" time.

Agreed 100%. I cannot handle when mothers act like martyrs.  I am still a person even after having a baby and I will continue to do things just for me too.

Stil trying to think of my own UO...

I'd venture to say this is not an unpopular opinion!

I don't know!  So many people I know love the attention that comes with being pregnant...I've always been a "just blend in"  kind of person and I get embarrassed and turn red with any kind of attention.  My wedding day I had a panic attack before walking down the isle because I invited too many people for my comfort 

I feel the same way!!

Stargirl1975

I have another one.  I do not think Channing Tatum is good looking.  And the movie "Magic Mike" made me feel icky.....and I did not even watch it.  Just the previews made me feel skeevy.

My DH had the audacity of saying, "don't just expect me to watch him without asking me and planning something before even discussing it".....his mom layed into him with that one. I'm a SAHM and I honestly don't love it. If I don't get "me" time to just get out for an hour, I'm all sorts of aggravated and annoyed and I hate my life for a day or so!

That's a UO to me! I never saw the movie, but he's so my type and amazing looking. Who do you think is the epitome of sexiness?

DD loves the Plum fruit snacks and pouches, and she'll have 2 or 3 of each a day.  She also loves hotdogs, which I was totally against feeding her at first.  Now?  She's had them twice this week.  The UO part is I'm not going to worry about her not eating all organic and healthy all the time.

OMG! Friends is amazing, and so are Toms shoes... they are like clouds on my feet! (I own 3 pairs!).

 My UO is tv show related... i HATE.. like LOATHE the show "The Office" ugh, its so damn stupid.

I feel so much better now... LOL

I personally don't get why people love doing cutesy pregnancy reveals.  When I found out I was pregnant, I called my parents and MIL and told them.  I plan to tell my good friends in person next time I see them.  Maybe it's because I'm not super crafty, but all the Pinterest inspired things kind of bug me.  And it seems like everyone now is trying to top everyone else in the "cute reveal factor", typically on Facebook.  

I also find 3D/4D ultrasounds super creepy, and do not plan to have one under any circumstances if I can at all help it.

I have a friend who's sort of like that. She goes out, but she doesn't leave the baby (who's almost a year old) with just her H. She calls another person (me sometimes) to come over and watch the baby too. I did this once, not knowing that her H was going to be home and as soon as I showed up he was like "oh cool I'm going to go out for a while"

For a second I thought maybe we couldn't be friends (get it? Friends? ok, bad joke.), but I guess the Toms thing balances it out. They are disgusting. My coworker that I don't like is wearing them right now. Ugh, she's disgusting too.

I hate when women are always talking about asking their husbands to watch the kids.  They aren't babysitters, they're the other parents!  I couldn't imagine asking my H to "babysit" our own kid.  It isn't babysitting if it's half YOUR kid!

I'm also not a fan of Friends. 

I think the terms pregfers, preggly, and pregasarous are ok. I really can't get it up to have a problem witht those terms.

I do, however, judge people who say 'lots.' As in 'I have seen lots of people blah blah.' To me it just sounds uneducated.

Me too!  They totally freak me out but I think it has to do with the weird gold colour that they get printed in.  I had a dream the other night that DH and I got one and when we saw the pic, we were mortified because the baby had adult sized hands.  I'm definitely not getting one!

My unpopular opinion is that is doesn't bother me AT ALL when people who are in first tri claim to have a "bump".  It drives me crazy when people jump all over them and say "It's NOT a BUMP, it's BLOAT!"

Who the F cares what it is, it wouldn't be there if you weren't pregnant!!!!  And who's to say the exact moment the "bloat" turns to a legitimate "bump"?  I just don't understand why people make such a big deal out of this on the bump.

I have to respectfully disagree with you. At least with me, I could definitely tell when my blump turned into a real bump. Obviously, it did not happen over night-I think there is a distinct difference between the two. The way your uterus grows during pregnancy for the first couple months it is hidden under your pubic bone for the most part...

Totally not unpopular.

Last time around I worked at a grocery store. Random people would reach out to touch my belly. I always took their arm and put it back on their own stomach. I'm a touchy person but only to people I'm close to. We're friends and you want to pat my tummy, go for it. You're a random stranger, keep your hands to yourself!

They are routine with my ob. The 4D stuff is attached to regular u/s machine. I thought they were creepy until I had my own done. I had u/s every 4 weeks or so after 20weeks last time. The closer it got to the end of my pregnancy the more details you could see. It was amazing that DD looked like the sweet face we saw in the ultrasounds...
