UO Thursday

heaven22tw · August 2013

I hate that my babies are huge...sorry but 2- 5 pound babies at only 33 weeks is just miserable:(((( I hope they grow healthy for sure but size doesn't equal development just discomfort:(

My UO: Tutus on children outside of ballet class is over the top hideous.

srsly?

This. You can almost not see the kid in the picture. And beyond that, like a PP said, why does the top need to be mesh/see-through?

What also gets me, and this might get me flamed, but bikinis and short skirts/shorts on toddlers and young girls. You may think that you kid is cute and innocent, but that pedophile staring at her is thinking the exact same thing. I saw a little girl, maybe 8-ish?, a couple of weeks ago. She was wearing shorts that showed her cheeks, a shirt that barely covered her midriff and was all torn and junk. This is horrible of me to say, but she looked like a little prostitute and her mom was right next to her. I couldn't believe that she let her kid dress like that. It made me rage.
I'm more perplexed by what this child has on her head than her dress. Aren't babies this age half-naked all the time anyway? Embarrassing in-the-tub pics, anyone?

Seriously what is that thing on her head

Some kind of growth, maybe?

OR! Maybe she's a real life cabbage patch kid!

I love how the parent said, "Hmmmm.... that cabbage on her head isn't quite enough. I don't want anyone thinking my baby ain't fancy! She just looks too plain. Let's put another cabbage on her stomach"
I also really love the beautiful cheetah print background.

Oh snap. I was so focused on what that poor child was forced to wear and didn't even notice the cheetah background.

I solemnly swear to never dress my children in hungry tu-tus.

Another one: I really dislike any writing or text on baby/kids clothes. My LO will not have any articles of clothing that say "Mommy's little Man" or anything like that. I prefer plain stuff.

This. He is a baby, not a billboard. I don't need his onesies to say "Chick Magnet", "Tough Guy", "Little Stud", etc.

-------------------
There are a lot of things like that I'm taking back.

Cora and I just wanted to drop by and say eff you to all the bow hating losers. :P

I love bows too (obviously look at my siggy pic!) Though the one in the pic in this thread is hideous. Everything minus the baby in the pic is hideous including the background.

I missed so much since this morning!

My new UO is that my cervix IS a crystal ball. Which is my true reason for refusing all internal checks...gotta keep that magic to myself.

Count your blessings girlfriend. I've been doing everything I can to fatten my twins up, esp. my Baby A who was in the 21st percentile. Just remember that temporary discomfort > problems due to low birth weight, all day.

I would also like to use this opportunity to AW that Baby A grew 1 lb, 2 oz in the past two weeks and is now in the 25th percentile. Grow baby grow! :-*

And my UO/FFFC - I used to be among the ranks of the tutu haters. Then I came across this and decided that this is exactly what baby girl needs to wear for her newborn pics: https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/150881965/newborn-tutu-aqua-tutu-sweet-aqua?ref=shop_home_active

To make matters worse, I'm completely playing into gender stereotypes as baby boy will be in a baseball outfit in his father's catcher's mitt for his pics. Not sure whether to hang my head in shame or fully embrace it.

I think it depends on the hands of the person checking you. The doctor that checked me last week is a big dude with giant hands and I thought that my vagina would need to be reconstructed afterward. Today, I didn't really even feel it - but my doctor has tiny hands.

I see the point, though. If a cervical check is getting people worked up, then I can't imagine how labor will be for them.

Nice pic. FWIW, The most painful part of my labor with DS was when the doctor checked me when I arrived at the hospital (I was 6cm, and got to 9cm without an epidural...but finished with one). I dunno...there is something about checking that just really sucks, whereas labor itself and the pains that go with it feel more natural.

Lmao I thought of another one

Since my son isn't the center of a fashion show, I really couldn't give less of a shit what his clothing looks like. Stripes, words, brands, disney characters, all of that. As long as it matches, isn't offensive and isn't girl clothes, if people gifted me clothing he's probably gonna wear it. Don't kids get dirty? I'm preparing myself that I will probably change him 2-3 times more often than I currently imagine.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I might look at something and say "that isn't my style." But that just means I probably wouldn't have bought it myself. That's the thing, I haven't had to buy any clothes so far, and I am very grateful. I shrug and put it in the drawer! Am I the minority on this one?

I'll see you and raise you one on this. My son wears some girly stuff...he likes pink so I indulge. If we have a girl she will wear his old stuff, which is by and large masculine. Why buy new clothes when there are ones in the house that fit?

That. We got mostly neutral-ish stuff to save some money for future LOs. Add a small bow (or not) and there you go.

Regarding the cervical checks my doctor today didn't even do one (36week appt). He said they mean nothing so he sees no reason to do it at this point. Glad he shares me UO since I didn't want one anyway!

Yes, although I'm in the camp of not liking bows on newborns, I think we might do some of that with this LO if she is a girl. Granted, I know people will buy us clothes...especially when they see that we're re-using DS's stuff...but I'm not going to do much clothes shopping for a girl in the baby phase, at least, 'cause who gives a crap? And I won't be offended if/when people say, "what a cute baby boy." Hell, they did that with DS when he was a baby because he wore some neutral stuff and actually did look like a girl for a while (he has insanely long eyelashes)!

I see NOTHING wrong with that! Bravo to you!!! We got more boy stuff than I would've liked/registered for, but oh well. If next LO is a girl she will be in blue dogs with a headband or baby-safe nail polish or something when we go out. At home I couldn't care less.

Another UO, I love when people call me big or say I've gotten bigger. My chest heaves with pride thinking I'm feeding this LO enough and he's getting the nourishment and baby fat he needs!

OMG I feel bad for our LO. I'm italian and my eyelashes are huge, but somehow, my ginger boyfriend's eyelashes are still longer than mine. The kid is doomed!

I also have an uncle who had such dark eyelashes it looked like he was wearing eyeliner.

@susanb887 Sounds like he hasn't left 8th grade yet! Maybe you should start cracking puberty jokes?

That doesn't bother me but there is a guy at my job that cracks big jokes about me that gets on my nerves. 1. You don't know me that well 2. There are non- pregnant people bigger than me 3. You sound desperate trying to land a weight joke on a pregnant lady What annoys me most is if I defend myself people automatically think its hormone related.

What a douche. Can you report him or tell him to stfu?
