I think Thank you notes are stupid. I think a verbal 'thank you' is more than enough. My Grandmother could tell you every gift she ever got for someone that she didn't get a thank you note for- and I think that completely ruins the whole point of buying someone a gift. Why buy something for someone if you expect something in return? I've gotten friends things for weddings and babies and not gotten thank you notes back and it honestly doesn't bother me at all.
I'm sure this is unpopular and people think I'm tacky for thinking so but whatever. I've always made it a point at my showers and such to personally thank each person for their gifts and I normally tell them why I like it so much. And I've also even told people after the fact how we've used it and stuff. That would be better, for me, than a note I'll just read and throw away anyway.
Re: UO Thursday
I agree. I think a verbal thank you is actually more personal and meaningful than a note that you know someone dreaded writing.
I don't know if I have an OU this week. I'll have to think on it.

no I agree with you!! I think it is a waste of paper and a stamp. If I thanked you in person then why do I need to thank you again? Plus I hate writing them, Everyone says the same thing with the gift part changed.

My popular opinion is that I want to steal Charlie.
I would snatch the shiit out of him.
Such a little, squishy nugget
Hahaha Awesome. We can start an LO exchange program. lol
He is getting rather squishy now that he's actually putting on weight. I'll have to post a picture of his little double chin.

Yes, please!
My UO - I think people are a little ridiculous with all of their baby 'rules'...not taking your child outside because it's below 60 degrees, not taking your child to the store or mall because of germs (I'm not talking about anyone touching or holding the baby, I mean putting them in a stroller or car seat and getting out of the house,) being overly militant with the hand sanitizer, etc. are all ridiculous IMO.
Thank you notes are stupid. Waste of time and money. I told everyone that came to my baby shower, "thanks!!" I have my thank you cards written out, just never got around to sending them, and I don't think I am. Stamps are effin expensive. If people have a problem with not receiving a thank you, well to bad. If they want it that bad, pay for my stamps.
Amen to that. I'm surprised they don't sell baby bubbles for the germ freaks out there.
And here is a chubby cheek pic until I can take a double chin pic. Haha
Hey, they're chubby cheeks for this skinny kid. lol

Ummm....SO freaking cute!!
I think changing LO everyday is a waste. Esp. 2 outfits - day & nightie. P just stays in her onsie & sleeper 2-3 days, unless she craps on it. She is not a fan of getting her clothes changed anyway, it works for everyone.
SO SWEET :-) Love it! They are definitely chubbing up!
Agh! They are chubbing up, sooo cute! I also think you may have to create and market the baby bubble, you could be a billionaire!
ITA and do this too.
Thank you!
And yes, it would have to be like a hamster ball though, because that's just funny as hell.

haha... bu-but how would I cope without knowing all the ridiculous shiit I know about random people?
seriously- what would we ever do without Teen Mom? hahahaha
Yep! Annelise is in the same outfit she wore yesterday and she couldn't care less.
My UO: I don't think babies are cute! I think they look sticky and strange. For the most part, when someone flings a baby under six months at me, I'm smiling on the outside and cringing on the inside. -I know, I know... I'm a horrible person.
That made me literally laugh out loud! Which then made me have to explain to DH what I was laughing at...to which he responded "what the hell is wrong with you people? snatching people's babies? did she say he was a tasty nugget?! You and your crazy internet friends! You scare me!"
hahahaha oh silly dh!
