I want Avery to stay in for as long as possible. Besides most likely needed a csection, her weight just seemed so low. The longer she can bake, the better. So I guess my UO is that while I'm so 'done', I'm on team stay inside!
I don't understand the whole couples sharing a Facebook or an email address thing. Are we not in 2014? Where is your identity? I don't know why but something about this just irks me.
@silverwings72 that bothers me too! I don't get it either! It's so easy to have two separate ones. Not going to lie, it drives me a little crazy. We are all individuals, people. We don't glob into one person when we commit to each other.

Even if there isn't, I always assume it's trust issues. It's just plain awkward. I don't want to send a message to a friend and have her husband reading it.
I'm surprisingly not embarrassed or feeling bad about my stretch marks. Are they attractive? Nope, but I honestly don't care. My reminder that this belly was home to 2 little miracles for 36w4d & counting :x
I hate long pajamas and cannot sleep with a flat sheet. So much extra fabric, ugh. I grew up in fl but now live somewhere that actually gets winter and I still can't bring myself to dress properly for bed. Tank top and underwear that's it.
Probably more FFFC-ish but I totally eyeroll people worried about big babies, especially those that are currently tracking way smaller than my ute beast. I fully acknowledge this is me being a bitch and there is nothing wrong with everyone else's individual bodies and feelings but sheesh. Can't care, don't care. Big babies happen, they are going to show up one way or another and it will be fine.
And on a more boring level, I don't get it when people pick out a nickname for a kid before they are born. I think you should call your kid what you name them. If you don't want to call them that then pick a name you will use. Nicknames are something that should more or less spontaneously come about.
This. I totally understand being nervous I guess, but I think sometimes people get a little hung up and melodramatic about it. I read somewhere at some point where it seemed the person was devastated and their baby was measuring right about where my LO is, it kind of pissed me off and hurt my feelings, like something is wrong with me or LO. our babies are growing the way they were meant to grow and I wouldn't change my little 10 pounder for anything, even if it hurts like hell to get him out.
if that makes you and I a bitch @Econosaurus , then I will gladly wear that badge!
I kind of feel the same way about people's reactions to big babies; all of my babies have been on the larger side of average, and it really didn't make them any harder to give birth to (although DS's enormous head is most likely responsible for the c-section I ended up needing with him). This LO is on track to be my smallest baby yet, and my husband is hoping she's not under 8 pounds because he's loved having bigger, less delicate-seeming newborns, and he's afraid of how to handle a teeny tiny one.

THIS!!! And to add to it, screen names and email addresses where you identify yourself as "so-and-so's mommy". Not a fan. You're your own person.
I would love to have a rollie pollie chubby little baby! DS was a pretty average size at birth and has never been a good eater, so he's always been a lean machine. I love chunky babies and am hoping that this one will be a better eater than his big brother!

@silverwings72 - All the people I'm FB friends with who do that are in the situation where at least one of the couple is not very technologically advanced and doesn't check the account or really care (i.e. my aunt and uncle's account is joint). I would probably side eye it a lot more if it was done w/ younger people who both use the account or are tech savvy. That would scream trust issues.

I don't understand the want/need to put make-up on and fix your hair for labor. Maybe if your having a scheduled c-section. But labor can be a long hard process.
With DS prior to having the Emergency C-Section I was sweaty, puked, and was in and out of the tub/shower. I also had my DH patting my forhead and neck down with a cold rag. Make-Up and Hair would have been a hot mess by the time DS was born and we took any pictures.
I am going with the freshly showered, clean hair, clean face approach when I head to the hospital again this time.

LOL! I literally just clicked on this thread to type the same UO.

I guess I'm in the minority that my UO is I'm terrified of having a big baby. LO has been measuring bigger than average all along (they haven't given me an estimated birth weight). DD was 5lbs 8oz of nothing and it hurt like hell to deliver her and I needed stitches and healing was a bitch. I can't imagine what a 9-10+ pounder is going to do to me.
While I think all of you ladies are stunningly beautiful in them, I secretly think maternity shoots are stupid. To me, I'll only pay for professional photography if it's something I would frame; and I think framing pregnancy pics is kinda weird...I also think it's even weirder when people decorate the nursery and have said maternity shots framed up in there...just sayin'...LOL

Lol, I wouldn't have gotten mine, but they we included in my birth photography package as a way to meet and get to know her. I'm not sure I'll do anything with them, other than put some in the baby book.

Pet? No. Kids? I can get this one in some circumstances. I have a lot of FB friends that live way away from their family and they create a separate account for their kid so family could get regular updates with pics but all of their other FB friends didn't have to see every little pic or milestone.

I have an example that has nothing to do with trust issues. DH and I both have 2 personal email addresses and a joint one we created when getting married. Everything that involved the wedding was there and it was nice for both of us to be able to check things from vendors. Now we use it for anything that affects both of us - our cat's vet, Connor's pediatrician, our gym membership (lol). I liken it to having a land line. Maybe the difference is, it's not our primary account, but friends will occasionally use it instead of sending 2 separate messages.
Along the facebook UO thread...I hate when people's profile pictures are not pictures of them (i.e. their kid etc). Your cover photo is a free for all--go nuts! but your profile picture should be you.

You wouldn't want to be my Facebook friend lol
Of course I would! So many people violate this unspoken rule and I am friends with them. I just judge them EVERY TIME THEY COMMENT OR LIKE ANYTHING.

For me it's all about having the momento...Our bodies will never look like this again. I'm going to make a small photo book. Oh and my first set of photos were free!
Ok I'm getting ready for a firing round here:

Exactly. I didn't much care for my pictures, but I figured it would be nice to have some kind of record other than my bathroom selfies.

Agreed. I actually only took one "bump" picture of myself when I was pregnant with DD and I regretted it. Since this will more than likely be our last I wanted to capture what I looked like.

I don't mind maternity photos in general, although I didn't have them done. The naked ones creep me out, though. A friend of mine had semi-naked maternity pics done where the only thing covering her (very large) breasts are her hands. She has them displayed in her livingroom. They're like a car accident that you don't want to look at, but can't help it at the same time. Distracting.

Totally with you on this....I would much rather pay to have outside baby pictures. And I do not see myself as a beautiful attractive pregnant lady.
