HDBD in lingerie?! Yikes. I'll wear red or pink for Valentine's and green for St. Patty's Day, how about that?

@mrscrcalli (((hugs))) to you my dear. You've had a lot to deal with lately! I'm glad to hear things are looking up a bit for you.

@mamamonzo Umm...your SIL sure is making some big assumptions, huh? I agree with you that I would not want any family member up in my business during birth besides DH.

@deidremaria Great work on that table! I would love if you could refinish a few things for me. It's a daunting task when you've never done it before.

I've had acid reflux from hell today and still ate a small bowl of spaghetti for dinner because I'm an idiot.

Mamamonzo · January 2014

Update: SIL is now offering to make a "phone tree" of people to text and keep informed during my labor. gahhhhh [-(

@janice1921 Oh man I can't even imagine having to do this with 4 kitties my mom is being old fashioned and saying that 'cats suck the breath out of babies' trying to lick milk off their face. Whatttt?

I have had more than one person tell me that same thing and it makes me stabby. Most ridiculous thing I ever heard.

deidremaria · January 2014

@LoriMc12 your comment made me feel guilty about the hundred and something comments I skipped because I felt lost. Thanks! It's actually my first time finishing a piece of furniture. I was lucky enough to get an unfinished changing table. If you wanna refinish furniture there's an awesome kit at Home Depot that provides everything you need and you won't need to sand

I guess I talk about you ladies more than I realize. My husband remarked today that I'm always saying 'well the girls on the board said...' or 'OMG guess what happened on the board today...'

He said it's like I'm in a sorority for pregnant chicks. Haha! He loves the stories, he just won't admit it.

Last night my husband was on BuzzFeed reading something about 10 Useful/Strange baby things to have.. or something. It was interesting; I'll have to find it and show y'all. Anyway, one of the links took him to TB, and he was like, "Hey look, baby! I'm bumping!"

)

ETA: Just kidding, he said he was on Pinterest which makes it even that much better. I couldn't find it, but here's the link to something similar. Some of these are so cool! Ultrasound device that hooks up to your phone!?

No. Do tell.

It's not that exciting. She was just warning is about some chick that's going to post to our board soon and out being some sort of BF expert and have all sorts of great advice, but most answers end up being see a LC. She'll force us into making it a sticky. Hmmm let's see who has stronger will power this chick or A14

That sounds like a fun challenge.

Yeah it's sounds very odd to me...I just don't understand the chicks motive

Every time I bring up something pregnancy related DH asks if my "internet friends" (like you are all made up fake imaginary friends or something) told me about it.

Me too! DH always asks if the I heard it though the "Bump Vine" ;-)

Is yogurt ok to eat while trying to keep yourself from being constipated?? I never know this one. And I really want some yogurt.

I think yogurt is good for constipation cause of the live cultures...

I demolished a jar of pickles today. Embracing the stereotype.

@irisheyez7 But the only way to get exactly what you want is to let Jonathan put all the features you love in a fixer-upper! Didn't you know that!? @Serenla @thomas930 I've been thinking that newborn onesies are kind if pointless (depending on how big baby is) since the labels say 6-8lb. for NB and 8-12 for 0-3 months. If what you're saying is accurate for my baby, my baby will probably be over 8 pounds at birth. Are there other things to consider when buying NB clothing other than that weight on the label?

It may come down to length like Jelly said. My kids are pretty petite so that might be why I get so much use out of them.

Megczapla · January 2014

@cgoldian so sorry to hear about your pup! Lots of hugs to you!!!

I'm hiding in the bathroom to get away from my job, is that practicing for motherhood? Anyway, I was pondering something and I wonder if any experienced mamas could answer. Is it really nessacary to get a whole bunch of 0-3mo clothing? My mom says that he will most likely not be in them for long and I should just be getting bunches of 3-6mo instead. Thoughts? Sorry if this has been asked before .

DD lasted in 3-6 the longest, it seemed like. She wasn't in 0-3 for very long at all.

thomas930 · January 2014

@toothpastechica I would try contacting Ergo and see what they say as well.

J&NL · January 2014

DH is in the field tonight and it's nights like this that I'm glad I have a show like Oscar Oasis that I can turn on so DD will completely zone out. Today was pretty relaxed but I'm still tired and handling DD without DH is a challenge.

How has every one been? I feel out of the loop!

nikki912 · January 2014

A FB group I'm apart of is discussing what terms we use when talking to our kids about genitalia. Despite some of the funny responses I found myself really annoyed. A lot of grown women have trouble saying the words penis and vagina. More than a few were so happy they had boys because its "easier." How is saying penis easier than saying vagina? And why is either of them difficult?

Stace0616 · January 2014

I'm in a parking lot waiting impatiently for DH to return with TP and dessert. Wtf is taking him so long?

Also, I need to go snack shopping for my dad and DH--they are going to have some forced male bonding time on Saturday putting together the nursery furniture. What snacks should I get?

pineconey · January 2014

I made lasagna for dinner. Like legit from scratch with homemade noodles lasagna.
I didn't like it.
DH loved it.
I burnt my hand on boiling water making it. And now I'm eating peanut butter captain crunch.

ETA: 2 bowls. i just ate two bowls of cereal. i think i'm going to hurl.

I am wishing strollers and seats had trial periods. I am so tired of reading mixed reviews. Think I am about to play Eenie meenie miney Mo

And I need Atlanta and its non-drivers to get it together so I can safely venture out to the store tomorrow.

edoliesmom · January 2014

I just wanted to let everyone know that this is happening right now.

pineconey · January 2014

DH's favorite fruit/veggies are the ones i dislike (or am allergic to). he begs me to get them, then lets them rot!! there's a cucumber and grapefruit in the fridge that i'm going to shove down his throat if he doesn't eat tonight...

@nikki912 - Vagina is the one you really have to use, too. Everyone knows what a boy means when he says someone touched his peepee - but people teach little girls the most bizarre terms for vagina and then they get misunderstood and ignored when they try to report abuse. True story - I worked with someone who had case where a kindergartener told her teacher that an older boy was touching her pocketbook. The teacher was like - wtf? Don't bring a pocketbook to school. The abuse went on for months before something got mentioned to the dumbass mother who was too shy to say vagina and taught the little girl to say "pocketbook." How in the holy hell are people supposed to know what that means?

Plus I think it just contributes to weird shame issues that women's genitalia is somehow too horrible to name.

Yeah I've heard that it is recommended to use the proper terms too so that it deters predators who supposedly can get uncomfortable at a child using the correct terms as well as a sign when your child comes home calling it something else.
Obviously at some point they will pick up other terms but it is absolutely nothing to be ashamed of and I'm so embarrassed for these women who can't get sex out of their heads when talking about body parts.

fourthnlast · January 2014

My youngest called it his "rah rah" for a long time. I have no idea why! I taught them penis and vagina, I have no idea why it's so difficult for people to say those words.

Penis penis penis. Vagina vagina vagina.

----- A breastfeeding board regular is demanding that each BMB start a sticky for her to be resident expert.

And that is why I don't bother with two thirds of the threads out there!

Ooh, I can't wait until the BF expert descends upon A14...she shall see how much we will "welcome" her expertise.

Mamamonzo · January 2014

WWA14 do? Attempt to sleep in our bed tonight... Toss and turn because my hips go numb and eventually end up on the couch. Or just start out on the couch. Mind you I pee 7000 times a night and one bathroom is attached to our bedroom upstairs and the other is in the family room downstairs and the couch I sleep on is the middle floor. No bathroom but next to the kitchen..

I would be totally impressed if you could pee in the sink. I couldn't even see myself getting up there!

I have no idea how you can live there. x.x I grew up in a bowl-shaped valley in western Colorado, and when I moved up here to Wisconsin several years ago to be with my husband since he didn't want to leave his family, I nearly shat myself when I realized they deal with tornadoes up here too. This past summer we had two really bad tornado-producing storms and I was so scared hearing the sirens that I was nauseous. :-SS

My crotch hurts so bad! I'm seriously thinking of an ice pack. I think it popped today too. I stood up and heard a few pops and it actually felt better for two minutes.

Oh my gosh YES!! Mine feels muscular, like I leverage my legs to get off furniture and it hurts badly to flex the muscles. Who the heck knew you had muscles on your pubic mound?!?

And THIS!!! DH says he feels like e knows a lot if you. So many of my sentences these days start with, "So the ladies on my board were talking..."

@soultermination I actually suck at living here. I'm the panicked one who freaks every time it hails and would have stayed in the bathtub for the entire week last May. DH is much calmer about it.

Unfortunately because that type of weather is common here they are very good at predicting it. We had at least a two day's notice that the first one was coming. Most people didn't go to work or send their kids to school. But sometimes school is safer if you don't have precautions at home. (Children were lost not because of the storm but because a pipe broke in the basement they were in and they couldn't get out). Usually they are able to tell you which block the storm is on and where it will be going next. Severe weather sirens are everywhere. You hear them all the time. And storm shelters are registered with the city and get checked by emergancy personal ASAP for anyone inside.

As long as you are educated you feel safer. It's amazing how a community comes together in the face of disaster though. It was as if everyone was family during that time.

DS knows it's called his penis. I try to refer to it as his private parts in public and his penis in private. I have definitely gotten some side eyes for the fact that he knows the word penis. People say " why don't you say pee pee." Because pee pee is what comes OUT of his penis.

You get side-eyed for using the proper terms?! God bless America...
