My 8+ month old has chubby cheeks and is a slim 15lbs. He appeals to everybody

I can't wrap my head around the fact that there is someone actually body shaming a baby. Have you seen @emandia and her gorgeous baby boy? The cheeks on that baby could be nommed on all day long.

Dude, this has nothing to do with body shaming.

Actually, it does.

Wedding favours should be edible or actually useful. I don't want a key chain with you and your partner's name on it. I guess that was more of a UO, or hopefully a PO.

100% agree. We had boxed Krispy Kreme donuts that guests could eat drunkenly later that night or the next morning

Ya @somerandomchick I'm totally feeling encouraged to just do what I want for his day. Maybe a nice dinner like Prim suggested or just close family. The key is to stay away from Pinterest. It always makes me feel like less of a mom. Ha.

Also, chubby babies, skinny babies, they're all delicious

@muirmaid - I know you weren't trying to be malicious but when you essentially say "I think your baby is funny looking" and indicate your thought is that something is wrong with them...you're going to get some folks up in arms.

I agree. I think it was more the wording than the thought behind it. Everyone thinks their baby is the cutest.

I've never had a Krispy Kreme. :-\"

What???!!!

Here's a confession: when LO was a newborn and we would drive around to get him to nap, we would stop at Krispy Kreme and DH and I would split a dozen hot glazed donuts.

What an awesome favor idea!

Guys, I'm just going to say it. I don't think this is body shaming.

I know that my BFF had twins 2 months after Josephine was born, my husband has never thought they were cute in any way shape or form, he thought they looked funny... because in his eyes (and mine, although I found her twinkies to be VERY adorable) Josephine was the most beautiful baby on the planet and if other babies didn't look like her, then they were "not as cute".

I think the wording choice of "what's wrong with that one" was poor, but read past that and see that she was simply stating that she thinks her baby and the way her baby looks is how babies are supposed to look. If you're used to a skinny baby chunky babies may seem funny looking to.

Jumping off of my white steed... commence.

Okay, here's my confession: I think skinny babies are super cute and chubby babies are funny-looking.

I know this is 100% due to the fact that I have a teeny little peanut, so that's what I think babies are supposed to look like (even though I know that's not true), but I can't get around it! I know chubby babies must be freaking adorable because everyone's always like, "ZOMG, those CHEEKS!!!!1!1!!" But I just can't see it. My mind goes, "Whoa! WTF is wrong with THAT one?!?"

I hope my next baby is a big plump one so I can fully appreciate the entire spectrum of baby adorableness. (Please don't hate me, moms of giants.)

Edit: Oh, and @lizabethann06, ygpm. It's not about Brynne's cheeks.

I also have a fairly skinny baby and I love the chubs I see on here and IG. I don't see any babies other than George IRL so when I see you these chubby babies its just that I'm not use to seeing them. They are so adorable and I was excited to see George get a roll around his wrists. Funny looking is probably the wrong way to put it but I get not being used to seeing it. There is nothing wrong with a chubby baby imo.

Really? Because body shaming is defined as inappropriate negative statements and attitudes toward another persons weight or size.
Tell me how your statements about how chubby babies not being cute or "what is wrong with THAT one?" Isn't In the same sphere as inappropriate negative statements?

Our wedding favors were homemade chocolate chip cookies. Five years later, I still have friends tell me they were the best favors ever. Darn. Now I really want some.

Woah. I didn't read this before posting. You might win the best favor ever award! Yummy!

bobcee · March 2014

I don't get smash cakes either. A cupcake serve the same purpose, allows for cute pictures and there is way less waste. And though I don't get them, I still think it's fine if that's what people choose to do for first birthdays.

However, I totally side-eyed friends who have been doing them for her daughter every year. This year she turned three and they got her a smash cake and she wasn't at all interested in "smashing" her hands or face into it. Plus it was the only cake they had. They had no cake to offer the guests. I want cake dammit!

Mommy1stTimer · March 2014

fffc: I thought that all baby pants were just made to be short/highwaters....turned out, my baby is just tall with long legs...duh!

I already have mommy guilt about this...but I am not looking forward to planning DS's first birthday party. Like, at all. I'm kinda dreading it. Invites, themes, decorations, food. I'm exhausted thinking about it. It feels like a glorified photo opp that he will not remember nor care about. I would much rather stay home all day and snuggle, and give him a cupcake to smash up. But I feel this pressure to host a bash or I'm a bad mom.

I don't intend on throwing a big party either. I'm just going to have family over for a cookout and cake. No invitations, no theme, no party favors. I'll get into that stuff when he's older.

Carrie3102 · March 2014

oh and I'm having a double cheeseburger with extra onions a coke and fries for lunch... I'm going to leave here in 10 minutes to go get it... I'm hangry.

The first birthday is the only one I care about. After that my kids get very few parties.

Carrie3102 · March 2014

I'm with @meimsx on the parties... first one is huge after that... not so much... although Josephine had a large 2nd bday party too. I was shamed into it... the next one though, we're going to an indoor waterpark as a family.

Carrie3102 · March 2014

Aww.. thank you @missymr ... she really is a proud big sister, she's always playing with him and caring for him, if he wakes her crying in the middle of the night she starts crying and yelling "mommy Parker crying, mommy pick him up, MOMMY!!!!" she's never satisfied until I go in and tell her I've got him and he's fine, she is always so concerned about him.

That picture is so old, he's so huge now... I need to get another one, but they rarely hold still anymore!

I have only been away from a Ty for maybe a total of 5 hours in his life...
I hope I'm not creating a separation anxiety monster.
I've been away from DD for less than an hour and a half total. So you aren't in the boat alone.

FWIW, I have had to spend a *lot* of time away from Lucas and currently sitting on my lap is too far away from me because we must be neck-hugging at all times. This started before the current infection.

Carrie3102 · March 2014

@mimi4347 when I read your posts about neck hugging, I always read it "necking" then I'm like no not necking, that's like making out... but that's what I always read first.

sparkymcgeee · March 2014

So I have another. Have you all seen the video floating around fb produced by Nordstrom I think about the scarves? Well it inspired me to finally buy one after I have searched and wished and walked away so many times. I've seen that video and thought there are so many ways to wear them I can totally pull one of them off. I'm wearing it today and I feel weird. The video is deceptive because the model has a long lean neck, small boobs and tall thin frame. I'm squatty and chubby with huge boobs and I think it looks weird.

I regularly forget that my baby was NOT born in July. I think its a combination of spending too much time on the July bump board and the fact that I had her July 18th due date in my head for so long that I cannot comprehend that my baby was actually born on June 30th.

same here. When people ask me I go "July.....no...August 3rd."

I didn't get a flu shot and LO didn't either. I SAH so it's pretty easy to avoid sick people though.

Yesterday I POAS because I SWORE I felt flutters. I'm not pregnant, apparently just crazy.

@CNettles86 Did you follow the directions? Is the stick doing well?

I'm just a stick trying to earn a buck or two.

babyk1228 · March 2014

Love for all the chubby babes!!(:

My FFFC: DS bonks his head like ten times a day, seriously. No matter where he is, he finds some way to bump his noggin - on a toy, on furniture, on the floor, on me..he crawled straight into a wall the other day because he was watching his hands as he crawled! I am worried he will damage himself but I'd have to keep him in a bubble to avoid the head bumping, he does it all.the.time!

MRads · March 2014

I poas after work on Wednesday. We haven't had sex in well over three weeks, so I figured I would be pregnant enough that fmu wouldn't matter. I grabbed a clear blue test. I didnt know how to read it, so when I saw the control vertical line I thought I was pregnant. I took a pic and showed some friends to help me read it.

Who is 28yo and doesn't know how to read a pee stick? I was so relieved when it was negative. But then I was told blue dye tests aren't the most accurate, so I'll be buying another one this weekend for peace of mind.

gutsymama · March 2014

Whew! Caught up during nap time.

1. You should throw a big birthday bash is you *want* to, and not feel guilty if you don't. We will be doing a lightly-themed brunch because I will really enjoy planning and hosting and playing photographer. I won't be spending a ton, and I don't feel obligated.

2. I think we will do a smash cake at our pro 1st bday shoot, and I am currently tearing up thinking that we might be able to do it shirtless without anxiety about getting his dressing dirty/wet because MAYBE HE WONT HAVE ONE! Smash cake naysayers, you will not rain on Luke's birthday parade :-q

3. @missymr we have hit stranger danger hard. Right now he even wants me when DH is holding him, and I feel guilty but I love it.. With such a long NICU stay and never getting to nurse, I had this irrational fear that he wouldn't really understand that I'm his mom.

4. I wish I had tiny tweezers so I could pull the boogs out of Luke's nose without waking him up.

I skipped lunch while shopping the other day and, of course, ended up buying a bag of Cadberry candy coated chocolate eggs. I ate half the bag on the way home. I then left the bag in the car and felt sick and guilty for the rest of the day.

The next day I ate the other half while stuck in traffic.

What ids wrong with me?! How hard is it to have a little self control?

How hard? Really effing hard. I bought a bag of cookies and cream kisses the other day and ate them all in like three days. X_X

Oh, and I'm irrationally mad at the salesperson that kept showing me the cheapest kitchen ranges when I kept wanting to look at the double oven, 5 burner ranges with the griddle in the middle. I feel like he was judging me, assuming I couldn't afford it. Confession: I was a little 'scrubbed out' since we just left the swimming pool.

So, I'm going back today and buying the really nice one that I wanted, is it bad if I want to use another salesperson to stick it to him?

That makes me mad too...I feel like some people are uber judgemental if I'm not in my work attire and trying to make a major purchase with no makeup, a sweashirt and yoga pants. Car dealership is the worst. I reported someone once to a manager who I know picked a couple to help over me in the showroom. I was there first.
I wanna be like "my bag costs more than you make in a week...maybe 2...just cuz I look tore up...don't mean I am...I'm a mom".
My apologies if that sounds elitist or bitchy.

Use a different salesperson, then go back to the original salesperson and pull the Pretty Woman line.
