Nita, thank GOD that woman lives on another continent.
Mine is that C never wears jeans. I always have him in sweats. The only exception was that he wore khaki's for his Santa pictures.   It started when he was around 5 months and was too chubby for any sort of jeans.  I felt bad because he looked so uncomfortable.  Now that he's thinned down, I suppose that I could start jeans again.
ETA spelling 
I dislike jeans on babies. I have never seen a baby in a pair of actual jeans that looks even remotely comfortable and they never fit properly and 99% of the time they look cheap. Lo has leggings that look like skinny jeans but no actual jeans. 
My kids rarely wear anything besides jeans. If I put them in sweat pants or the like I feel like they look sloppy. I love them in jeans! My DD and DS have been wear jeans practically everyday since 3 months old and they aren't the slightest bit uncomfortable. I love me some baby jeans!  
(It won't let me bold the words 'look sloppy')
I know! That's why I feel bad, I really don't want him to look sloppy. I think that it's his shape, we have tons of jeans passed down to us, and literally they all look like they were cutting into him and he didn't have free range of motion. I should try it again.

First off, I have seen Carson IRL and he does not look sloppy. His Justin Beiber 'do was nicely combed, and his clothes were clean and matched. He is a cute chunk!

I think it only looks sloppy if all of the clothes are mismatched or dirty, the kid is dirty, their hair is unkept.

Gator has been wearing jeans when we are out of the house, since 6 weeks old, mostly because they go with everything. But occasionally she will wear Adidas warmup outfits when we go out. At home, she is usually in sweats that don't match and pj's.

1. Chunstad, Carters has soft/thin denim, which is way easier to put on chunky thighs and lies better. Try it!

2. Woodsie, I am super jealous of that day and wish I could come.

3. Super etc, you jerks should post on DWP (although I assume you're also lurking elsewhere). The format there is so much better, I think.

4. Liss, I hope everything goes well today with the geneticist and u/s.

I have to get a fetal EKG with my 20 wk scan because of a heart thing identified in the fetus at the First Trimester Screening (which is in two weeks, what? How did that happen?). I think partly because of that, and because my sister had a 22 week termination earlier this year b/c of stuff from the anatomy scan, I have been reluctant to totally let myself love this little fetus thing.

They have recently opened two kids coffee shops in my area. My confession is that I am super jealous I didn't think of it. Those places are making a KILLING financially.

What are kids coffee shops? They sell coffee to kids? Don't they know that that can stunt their growth!? J/k, if you can't tell, but really, I have no idea what those are.

Thanks Elsa! Joolz, he was wearing those Carter's pants in size 12 months when he was 5 months old. They still were tight. This little boy was a serious chunk! Luckily he has thinned out quite a bit, now. Maybe I should try those pants again.

They are frickin' awesome. It's a cafe with a huge play area with a half wall....so your kids can't get out but you can see what they are doing. Meanwhile, you can have coffee, paninis, salads, cupcakes, gelato, etc. The bathrooms have tiny kid toilets and sinks and changing tables. They have a kid friendly menu and little kid tables so you can have lunch there. And there is something scheduled everyday during the week at certain times, like a puppet show or story time. But the kids can play and you can have an adult convo and your kid is entertained. And unlike most kid play places, the food and drinks are actually good!

These places are always packed with a steady flow of people. Even when packed, it doesn't make customers want to stay away. I asked one owner about how many kids they have in a day. She said about 80. That's about 400 dollars a day in play fees alone....not including coffee and food that is purchased.

My other FFFC is that I have no idea what the proboards are....

pistolannie · December 2012

After seeing all these BFP posts, I really have the fever. We are not even going to try until the spring but then I realized this morning that I am a week late. POAS and got a BFN. My confession is that it surprised me how disappointed I was to see that negative. I thought I was cool with waiting but now I'm questioning myself. Am I really ready now or is it just those jealous twinges I get every time I see or hear about a new pregnancy???

(p.s. maybe I am hormonal and about to start)

It's awesome. I guess I was wrong on the number count, there was an original one in the area...but it closed down a couple of months ago due to the owners kids growing up and she wanted to do something else career wise. Currently, there are two that just opened in the past two months. The very first one that opened had four different play sections, including a crawling baby area so they wouldn't get trampled by the walking kids. But I took my nanny kids there all of the time with our playgroup....they loved it! I was sad when they closed because I never got to take Gator there. But we have been to one of the new ones twice and it's just as fun.

LBB and I met up with friends at one of these yesterday. He had a ball.

In light of what is happening in CT today... I confess that I have completely lost my faith in God today. After 911, MH lost it. I kept trying.

But after today, I think what faith I had has been shattered.

I have not. I believe God gives us free will and we are not puppets. I also believe he is not the only force in this world, bad things happen it is not his will. I know a lot of people on here are agnostic or do not believe. I am not trying to be a preacher here just saying that faith is not an easy thing and will be tested over and over again.

Very well said Penny. This saddens God even more than it saddens us. He is not a spiteful or revengeful God. He does not do bad things like this, bad people do bad things. That's the problem with free will....

My FFFC is that I wish the news wouldn't give SO many details about the attacks. I feel like that is how the crazy people get information on how the previous shooter may have "gone wrong" during his shooting spree. Like at the mall, more could have been killed but the shooters gun jammed and he only had one gun on him. I feel that gives a plotter more information than needed and they now know to bring more than one weapon, to dress a different way, to find a different route, to blend in better, etc. I feel like the media shows too many slideshows, and diagrams, and "glorifies" what happened. It seems as each shooter tries to outdo the last, and get their name out there. Instead of just killing themselves, they take the detailed info they have received from the media and use it to plot and make it "bigger" than the last mass shooting....knowing they are going to die in the end anyway....but that they will leave some sort of "mass shooting legacy" behind with their name. For those of us that are sane, seeing the pictures and videos on the news is heartbreaking....but for people plotting, these videos and images, they are feeding off them.

Actress Anne Hathaway had to get dangerously thin for her latest role and instead of telling everyone how she did it, she kept it vague stating she didn't want anyone with image issues to get any ideas or follow her diet because it was extremely unhealthy.

At what point is the news "too much information" and doing more damage than just keeping people informed of things on a more vague level?

I am one of the non-believers Penny speaks of. I don't want to offend anyone, but I honestly don't understand how anyone could believe in a higher power; one that has power over everything, can just sit back observing the death of children. Not just today, but any day.
