I am sick of all of the people in my office bithcing about Obamacare all day long. Bitching won't change it so shut the Hell up. Also, I support Obamacare and yes, my deductible went from $500 to $1250 and I still support it.
All of this obsessing over dilation and water breaking makes me want to punch kittens. If you are going to obsess about how dilated you are then maybe you should STOP having cervical checks (unless they are medically necessary). Dilation and effacement are really only part of the picture. @ekruegerrn has been walking around at 5cm dilated with bulging waters for over a week. And water breaks spontaneously in only about 8-10% of pregnant women.

I know Adam Levine was just named sexiest man by People, but he does NOTHING for me.
He seems like a nice guy, but I think he's too skinny and I hate all his tattoos. I like a bit more bulk on guys.
Yeah I'm not really into him either. He verges on too "pretty" for my tastes.
I will take it a step further and say that not only is he just way to "pretty" of a man but he also strikes me as a huge D-bag and not even that nice of a guy. Lets stick to real hotties like last years winner:
I don't care about stretch marks. I have some on my stomach from my last pregnancy. They are ugly but no one sees them but my husband. He still thinks I'm attractive.

Preach!!!!!!
When we bought our new mattress this summer the manly man salesman (worse than buying a car my lawd!) was so pushy about their super special magical waterproof liner. Because my water will break in bed and then where would we be?! GASP! Dude, I'm not worried about my water breaking in bed, shut up.
It's going to break in bed now.
Oh and to whoever wrote Adam Levine doesn't seem nice? He is hilarious and very nice! He's also really into music unlike most pop stars of the day. I don't dislike CT, but he's from "here" and he's by no means without doucheness.

Channing Tatum is my dream man. Even DH knows to rent the occasional movie for my Channing fix!

I had my mom come to my doctors appointment with me yesterday because I had a bunch I questions and if he didn't answer them I probably would have flipped out... My doc likes to push off questions
Frozen yogurt: just. . . NO. If I can't have proper full fat ice cream then forget it. Taking the fat out of ice cream defeats the whole purpose. It's like taking the cold out of it. And plus the stuff hardens to concrete In the freezer and becomes even more inedible. The whole concept is just wrong.

Not sure if this is an UO or not but I would much rather see female strippers than male strippers. Male strippers are like a joke to me. Kinda random but it came to mind because of the Channing Tatum picture.
I requested there be no strippers at my bachelorette party. DH could do his thing at the strip club and that didn't bother me in the least. I just didn't want some sweaty, hairless dude putting his banana hammock in my face. That's not sexy.

I'm with you there. Give me boobies any day. Channing tatum is undeniably hot though.

I have eaten my weight in frozen yogurt this pregnancy - but we only get it from shops so it's soft serve. I don't like the stuff from stores, I agree it's too hard.
Regular ice cream is often too sweet for me. I like the tartness of fro yo. However, I will eat a disgusting amount of gelato. So there's that.
I don't discriminate. I will eat store bought hard ice cream, Ben & Jerry's froyo, soft serve ice cream and soft serve fro yo. Gelato is the best out of all of them though.

Same here. I don't get why girls are so weird about strip clubs. If he is going to cheat on you at a strip club you should probably not be with the dude in the first place...but I did just LOL really hard at the term "banana hammock."

I'm for team Adam. I've always found him hot, but I also think I'm attracted to him, because he has a similar body to my husband's, including the tattoos. I've never really had a "type" of guy I'm attracted to, though. If they're hot in my eyes, they're hot in my eyes!
Also, I think Channing Tatum is pretty damn gorgeous, but I also think his acting is pretty bad.

I agree. With DS1 I had a doctor's appointment and I wasn't dilated at all. My water broke that night. It's going to happen when it is going to happen.

I'm with you on this one. My husband looks like Bob Dylan did in his late 20s. In fact, if we have a son, this is a scene we could potentially reenact (that's Bob's son Jakob, who was in The Wallflowers, as little boy -- the spitting image of DH at that age):
So, essentially, these "Sexiest Men Alive" lists completely don't apply to me.
(Also I've never seen Magic Mike. *ducks rotten tomatoes*)
My RCS birth story will be boring. "We checked in at 6am, baby was born around 8am, then we sat in the hospital for two days. My mom annoyed me. THE END."
Except for the mom part... My lb won't have a very exciting job. And girl!! 2 days?! My UO then has to be that I am going to spend every day they allow in the hospital AND send her to the nursery at night. I-)
This!! .. Also if they can dance like CT then they don't need to take their clothes off i'm just fine with the dancing...
I couldn't watch all of magic mike. Just no... it was horrible, i mean really really bad. Even CT dancing couldn't fix that!

I love fro yo shops mainly for the ridiculous amounts of toppings I can put on the yogurt.
Yesssss - pay by weight. A blessing & a curse. A delicious, delicious curse.

This is seriously me at a fro yo place.
----------------------------------------------- That GIF is making me think of very inappropriate things. She's probably real good at chugging cock.
No idea if this is unpopular but I will send LO to the nursery at night while we are in the hospital. They'll bring her in for me to nurse and then they can take her back. Last time to have help overnight before going home.
I didn't even get a choice. The first hospital I was at automatically took the baby to the nursery overnight so you could rest. They came in if the baby needed a feeding. The first night he slept all night so I didn't see him until 630am the next morning.
Don't have an UO (can't ever think of one) but I want to comment on lots that has been stated.
Adam Levine, he's hot, he's a good one for sexiest man alive, but Channing Tatum was the sexiest, his body is just ridiculous!
Haven't seen Magic Mike either, but I should because CT is so freaking hot.
Fro yo is ok..I'd totally rather have real ice cream though.
Totes rather see female strippers rather than make strippers. I actually went to my friends Bachelorette party this past summer and it was my first male stripper show and it was so awkward!!! The guys were not big and muscular, they were scrawny and had dances made up, it was very odd. Never again.
My hospital has a nursery open only at night time and we just went on the tour and the lady said usually no one sends their babies in there for some reason. WHAT?? Guess I won't be either..but was thinking it might be nice if I'm struggling and then LO can come to me for feedings. :-S I-)
Can I say I'm jealous of you ladies that still have nurseries?!?!? My hospital "closed" theirs and we have no choice. Lo is in my room 24/7 from birth....
Add me to the jealous list. My hospital is also 100% rooming in.

My UO is that I don't think it's a bad idea to send the baby to the nursery while you're at the hospital, and I plan to do it at least the first night. During our tour they said that no one really does that and that almost everyone rooms in, but I think I'm going to need and want the rest.
@jenniferbromley I had to google Taylor Kinney - I have no idea who he is, but he is HOT! Where was he in the casting for 50 Shades? I would go in his red room of pain...

I agree completely. They just seem too manufactured.

This reminds me that I need to watch "Magic Mike" again. That boy's got some moves!!
Also sick of seeing birth announcements from people we don't know.
And I've also never seen Magic Mike. Nor do I care to.
Taylor Kinney on the other hand is FINE!!!
I have no UO for myself because my brain doesn't work anymore.
