Cool! Where at in Mexico?

Mazatlan, Sinaloa. Back before the gangs and cartels were an issue in that area.

I've been to Mazatlan. It is gorgeous.

Can I just say, (since it took me 49364934 hours to get caught up on this thread) that being someone who is religious and plans to raise my child in the church, the most important thing to me is raising my child to be a good person. Sure, I want my child to believe in God, but I want to teach her to help when she sees people who need it, to be empathetic to others (like not chewing out the fast food worker when her order is wrong) and to be smart enough about how the world works to not get taken advantage of. Things that I think transcend the idea of religion, but can be tied to it if that's who you are.

Just my take on raising kids...

Eta: clarity

I don't like bacon (don't eat meat), don't like sushi (don't eat fish, and don't like veggie rolls either) and don't like avocado (which to most is a sin living in SoCal). I'm the pickiest vegetarian ever ;;)

Um yep, it is. The avocados here are good. I do not understand you at all!!!!

@BreandMikewedding‌..... That's not what I said in the confession thread AT ALL. I confessed to not having heart burn that I blamed on my eating habits. And that I would not hit on a married man because the karma would be bad and like I said, I never said I was perfect!! but twist my post if you want.

thought y'all changed the damn subject.

All this sushi and seafood hate inspired me to cook dinner: Big fat salmon steak! Sorry ladies... You made me do it :P

@pnwlover12 of course you have been there. You're in a cartel and that is why you are most likely to get arrested. Lol.

I don't like Sushi. There. Booyah.
What!!!! I love it, but I am allergic to avocados, so I can't eat a lot.

I like it too, but am highly allergic to Wasabi. Allergic to avacados? That would be horrible.

@SPurp13‌ I Had A Lot Of Depression During My Last Pregnancy And Then It Went Away When I delivered. There is a name for this, but my brain is in overload from trying to translate other posts. (Ignore the random capitals. My phone likes to do this on occasion.) Also, can everyone please slow down? I'm struggling trying to keep up with this thread. For every page I read there are two more pages of new posts!

I don't THINK this will be the case with me, but I have thought about the possibility, so this is another reason why I don't want to start medication right now. I want to have a plan in place, so we can act quickly, but just wait until the baby is born for now.

@SPurp13

I would just remind you that the majority of SSRIs take weeks, sometimes a month, to kick in, so while you want to wait, you should discuss with your DH & medical team just how long you want to wait given that there is a built in 2-4 week by default with the medication. If you are going to wait for signs/symptoms once she arrives, you may want to trigger the medication at early onset of symptoms rather than when they increase in severity.

Shew, I read it all!!! This is what I took away, how can you not like sushi?!?! That was the best UO for me.

What I read the other day on Zoloft said ONE week, and that didn't sound right to me. I'll look into it.

I think I'm hesitant to start it now (which is what I originally thought of doing), because of the stuff I was reading about the baby weening when she's born. I know what it's like to ween off of that, it's like heroine. That's why I am hesitating. The chances of it might be SUPER low, but I saw that, and I got really scared.

Then there's breastfeeding. If I'm not able to, I'd rather go back to my other script (Cymbalta). There are so many factors that I don't know what to do!

I think my doctor is likely going to write the script and let me fill it now if I want, so it's literally on hand. I'm not sure, though, she hasn't called me back. She's going to try to get me in next week to discuss (this is my GP--I like her).

I think the princess culture for little girls is fucking ridiculous, and impossible to escape. There was ONE choice of panties in size 2T that didn't have Disney princesses on them at Target...so Doc McStuffins it is. I do not understand why it is impossible to make plain panties or training pants for kids - why the fuck do they have to have Dora plastered all over them? (We just use the training pants at night, but it still pisses me off).

I can't find a fucking mermaid costume that doesn't put fake boobs on a TWO year old. Seriously. (The Melissa and Doug one is cute but too big).

Why in the hell does the "princess" concept AND the sexualization of our girls happen so early?

DD has stated in the past that she is a boy...I almost wish for her sake that she was because of the fucking gender inequality that is so engrained in this world.
ITA with the bolded - I'm not a fan of all the character crap. I just want PLAIN stuff!

But I think the "princess culture" is something that can be avoided. DD loves her princess stuff but we don't make everything about that. I just honestly don't get all the hate toward the word/concept of Princess. I get the overabundance of clothes with characters but is that the basis of all the hate?

So I started with the princess UO which quickly escalated into all sorts of tangents due to Voldy - for those of you opposed to drama in UOs, I apologize for inadvertently starting it.

Regarding the "hate" towards the term princess, I am not knocking those who simple use it as a term of endearment, similar to sweetheart or honey. What I was referring to is when families treat their little girls truly as princesses, put them on a pedestal and teach them that their sole mission in life is to find their prince charming, settle down and have babies. Nothing wrong if a woman chooses to do those things but I wish girls were raised to know that they had a choice, that's all.

I also grew up in a culture where people never referred to little girls as princesses which could be why I happen to notice it more than the average person. And I am also a feminist and surround myself with like-minded women so my perspective is a little skewed.

I really don't want to stir the pot with this late post - I just wanted to clarify the intention behind my original post and due to some labor drama yesterday, was unable to do so.

Late to the party (I just HAD to have a baby yesterday and miss all of this)

I'll avoid the religion aspect, I think my view has been posted a few times anyway.

I HATE bacon. I think the obsession with it is blown out of proportion (bacon toothpaste and condoms are real. There's a line that shouldn't be passed)

I also don't like avocado unless it's in some damn good guacamole.

I love Mexican food. I would eat chimichangas for every meal if I could.

And I don't like sushi. I worked at a Chinese restaurant that had a sushi bar and I loved watching it be made but I gagged the one time they gave me a piece of a California roll to try. Can't do it.
