Let's try and out perform the tremendous UO thread this week! Make my Friday fly by. Use all my mobile data!

*Flame free not guaranteed.

DS and I went to Walmart in our pjs yesterday because it was early in the morning and I was feeling crazy lazy. My pjs are not identifiable as pjs (a pair of DH's basketball shorts), but they certainly don't look nice. I didn't care, because it's Walmart, and I actually was dressed about as well as everyone else there. :P

And following up on yesterday's thread, I have breastfed in a pool.

narabug · June 2014

I fell asleep on the couch last night at 6:30. DH got home from work at 7:30 and fell asleep on the other end. Neither of us got up until it was past time to go to bed. I should feel bad that we missed spending time together on one of our few nights a week where we don't have any outside the house obligations, but I don't because I guess we both really needed the sleep.

Sometimes when I learn someone's opinion/stance on a specific issue (especially when it's an extreme opinion) I internally shake my head and say, "Not surprising." given comments they have made on other topics/issues. This typically happens when I disagree with someone on one major issue; I find that it extends to a multitude of issues rather than just that one..

Raesofsunshine1 · June 2014

The only real craving Ive had this pregnancy occasionally is McDonalds cheeseburgers. Last night DH didnt want McDs because he had Wendys for lunch, so I told him Id make him supper if he brought me home McDonalds.

I dont know why, but he brought me home a large and I ate it all. Plus one of DDs chicken nuggets. It tasted so good!

If someone says something I disagree with in past posts (ie: they're not having any ultrasounds their entire pregnancy because they're dangerous) I remember these things, and refuse to give them any more love tits on anything. I'm kinda judgey like that. :-bd

Yesterday I locked everything, including my cell, spare keys (in the diaper bag), and CHILD! in my car in the driveway! Thank God my neighbor was mowing his lawn, so I could use his phone really quick, and the guy DH uses to fix all his work trucks also opens vehicles and only lives 5 miles away. My vehicle was in the shade, and it was only about 70 degrees out, so we waited the 7 minutes it took the mechanic to get there. DS was a champ, he had water and some raisins, so he just thought I was playing a fun game of peak-a-boo with the window. I think this was my biggest parenting fail to date. I must have bumped the lock button when I was getting out, and I didn't hear it. If it was a 100 degree, sunny, summer day, you better believe I'd be breaking that window.

I'm constantly amazed by how some people view their baby shower. It isn't a requirement, it is a nice gesture. Stop complaining about every little detail, say thank you and shut up. If you don't like what is being planned then decline the offer and buy your stuff yourself. If you are worried you won't have what you think you need before baby arrives then go buy it yourself.

I can't stop myself from looking at all of the baby shower threads but they seriously are all starting to sound entitled and just ungrateful. I should start a post it for those...

I hope you're not referring to @MRSclarke08‌ s post. Hers had zero sense of being entitled to free stuff, and just expressed her worry of being able to afford the necessities without a shower to rely on like most moms. She doesn't deserve a post it.

Ok, good.

I think I may have just read the one you were referring to originally.

Nope, but I did just read it...sounded more like a "stressed over money" post than a "why aren't they doing exactly what I want them to do" post...I can sympathize with that.

NavyFlyer · June 2014

I feel like a b****:

My father in law is stopping by to visit me and DH tomorrow for 1 night. He has been in a nearby city for a week for some work training. His training is over today, and so he wanted to come tonight, but DH is working until tomorrow morning (he works 24 hour shifts). I told DH I have to stay at work late tonight for a recruiting event so that he would tell his Dad he can't come til tomorrow morning, only because I don't want an awkward evening alone with father in law.

Feelin a bit guilty about it...

Mine is super lame.

I have no idea how you guys find the hilarious GIFs that fit perfectly into a conversation. I've tried googling things like "funny gif" and that, but I just don't find the goods like everyone else can.

Heartwood0519 · June 2014

I have two confessions.. neither of which are juicy, but oh well...

A couple weeks ago, the top of my thighs got sunburned pretty bad and they are now peeling. Every time I go to the bathroom, I spend a few extra minutes sitting there peeling the dead skin off my legs. Yep, I'm gross.

I've been eating SO much sweet junk food lately and I can't stop! I feel terrible because I'm diabetic and eating donuts (or any kind of sweets, really) for breakfast makes my morning blood sugar way too high, but I keep doing it. I've also been eating ice cream almost every night. No wonder I've gained 5 pounds in two weeks...

I know it's unwarranted, but sometimes I'm afraid to poop for fear of pushing the baby out. Crazy, I know. Eta: just in case people read too far into that, yes I know the baby doesn't come out your pooper...its just the pushing and use of the muscles down there that freaks me out.

Hahaha, I do that too!!

MrsL2B · June 2014

I'm thoroughly enjoying one aspect of having a painfully inflamed stomach this week, and that's not having to make any decisions about dinner. I get so tired of having to care about what's for dinner, but since I'm the one with dietary restrictions, I pretty much always have to figure it out. I appreciate being off the hook for a while.

ohioloveyou · June 2014

I have spent the last TWO hours trying to figure out what the three FFFCs I thought of yesterday were. I can't remember any of them. Ugh. Maybe I will later.

I also think that for the big and neccessary items such as stroller/travel system, crib, etc. you are going to end up buying them yourself in the long run. Most of my guests are not willing to spend 300+ dollars for example on a gift, and I wouldn't expect them to. I'm more looking forward to my baby shower as a time to spend with friends and family, especially one of my best friends that is flying in from out of town.

Exactly. I just threw them on the registry for the added discount afterwards and gift cards from BRU.

persephonerose · June 2014

I have to force myself to read the loss or bad news posts because they tend to put my anxiety in over drive. But I feel bad if I don't lend support because I would hope people would do the same for me.

This exactly. Most of my friends still live in my hometown and I haven't lived there in 9 years. When I visit home I mostly spend time with family so haven't had a chance to spend alot of time with my friends in a long time. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone and having a good time. I keep getting yelled at for constantly buying things b/c everyone says I'm not leaving anything for the shower guests to buy. lol.

MollyC20 · June 2014

The other day I saw a commercial for those veet wax strips, and thought "what the heck!" So bought some of the bikini ones.... BIG MISTAKE!! I only got half of one side really done, and both sides are red and irritated!!

I've been giving DH blow jobs because I'm scared it's going to hurt that area having sex!!

To the extent this refers to the most recent post about a sister planning a shower close to the due date and OP is reading I don't think you sounded ungrateful or selfish. If you've gone out of your way to do things for your sister and now that she has the opportunity to do something back she is acting like it is a chore and not considering your wishes then that just sounds to me like she is being a crappy sister and I would be annoyed to. I would do anything for my sister and she would do the same for me and I just can't imagine being in this situation. If it were a friend, a coworker, an inlaw, an extended relative or anyone else I would say that you should just go with the flow, but it just seems like your sister should be more considerate.

Yesterday at my OB appointment I was happy that I hadn't had a weight gain since my last appointment 3 weeks ago. Mind you that I had been fasting for 16 hours at this point so of course I weighed less.

The last couple of visits my doctor told me I was gaining too much weight and then fussed at me yesterday for not gaining enough. I don't know how to make her happy. I promise I eat all day and I have been making efforts to eat better less sugary foods.

Lele74 · June 2014

Wednesday was my birthday and I made myself a funfetti cake. I've eaten more than half of it already. <:-P
But I didn't frost it. I really don't like a lot of frostings out there. In fact, anytime I eat cake or cupcakes that does have frosting, I'm the one the scrapes it off and gives it to someone else (this is more of my fffc).

[Deleted User] · June 2014

I totally favor cute children. For example, two very good friends of mine both have young kids that I see often. One has literally the cutest two kids I've EVER seen, and I adore them. When I'm around them, I want to just play with them and pick them up and hold them. My other friend's kid is not so cute, and I honestly don't really pay her much mind when I'm around. I show the bare minimum amount of interest just so I don't come off as rude in front of her parents. I'll be like "Oh, hiiiii (her name)" and smile at her then immediately divert my attention elsewhere. Isn't that just awful??

I'm with you, most frosting sucks. Unless it's chocolate ganache

That is kinda sad, is it really because of the cuteness level or is it that the child's personality is not as fun?

I have favored kids before unintentionally (used to teach swim lessons) but it was because they were nicer and easier to play with not based on their cuteness (but being cute doesn't hurt).

eta: changed lay to play because that was just a terrible typo...

Yes, it actually is awful. This confession actually makes me sad. What the fuck man?

That's quite the confession. Do you think it's because you spend more time with the other kids? I guess I just don't think any of my friends have uncute kids...If they're your friend wouldn't you normally be biased in thinking they're cute because the person is your friend?
