I hate fruit. I try to like it but I can't. I gag when I even look at a strawberry.

MississippiCatfish · July 2015

It's a cows opinion. It doesn't matter. It's moo.

I don't have one yet, but I couldn't resist.

ETA: @Jilly82 I am the same way! I wouldn't say I hate fruit, but I rarely rarely rarely crave it. I love veggies, though!

I wish there were a personal fireworks ban this year. It is so hot and dry right now I'm terrified my house is going to catch fire due to a stray firework from one of the neighboring communities (yay for living on basically an ant hill)

I think "gender reveal" parties are stupid.

Hopefully this isn't unpopular, but I think it's ridiculous to do gender reveal photos with a professional photographer if one parent is going to be obviously disappointed if the child is one sex. Courtesy of my FB feed last week:

Same here. We're staying home to make sure our house doesn't catch on fire. Fireworks are banned everywhere around us, but not in our little enclave because we're technically in the unincorporated county.

I'm doing the gender reveal cake with my family but my u.o. Is that most professional photo shoots are weird and stupid. I'm all for taking photos of the baby and, of course, at your wedding... But maternity shoots creep me the f out lol.

Especially when one or both parents are topless!!

Thank you for sharing.

My mother has been begging me to do one (this will be my parents' first local grandbaby - my brother lives in GA so they hardly see the kiddos unless they're skyping) and the only reason I was thinking of doing one is to have an excuse to get a cake from this super popular bakery that I tried to get my wedding cake from (long story short, it didn't work out). I'm obsessed with their cakes. Every food event in town they have their food truck out there and I buy as many little pieces of cake I can get. Still haven't committed to it though..

I think people do WAY too many professional photo shoots of themselves. I get your wedding, sure. But do you need the engagement shoot, the pregnancy announcement shoot, the gender real shoot, and the maternity shoot? This one girl on my FB gets them done of just her and her boyfriend, not even for a special occasion. Enough!

kayjay44 · July 2015

I am not a fan of pregnant lady shirts. I don't think they're funny, witty or cute.

But I also wouldn't wear shirts with sayings on them when I'm not pregnant.

This is the kind of stuff I'm talking about: https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=pregnant+shirts&tbm=shop

OMG I hate the weird maternity photos. I've seen cute ones that are basically family photos where the mom happens to be pregnant. But the ones with bare bellies, and kissing bellies, and staring longingly while caressing bellies... it's just odd.

You know you're pregnant when... you have a gender reveal party solely for the cake. Love it!

Jilly82 · July 2015

That facebook picture was hard to look at.

I, too, hate pregnant shirts.

Even if I weren't pregnant, I'd totally throw a party just for Celebrity Cake Studio's cake!

I don't understand what people do with those weird pregnancy photos.

I'm not a fan of the pregnant lady shirts, but the skeleton ones on Halloween make me laugh. Only because you have to dress up anyway. https://gladditudesbumptees.spreadshirt.com/mty103

I was thinking of a themed maternity shoot. Something like this...but I'm so disappointed that my nipples aren't star-shaped! That comes later, right?

That is disturbing on so many levels! Before you enlarge it, she totally resembles David Bowie in The Labyrinth..

There, right there in that Buzzfeed post, is a lot of what is wrong with this country. Good grief.

Yea I plan on doing a cute halloween costume - assuming I'll have a good belly bump by then!

I thought the same thing! Hah!

roseandtwill · July 2015

I think it's ridiculous how MANY showers, parties, etc people have nowadays...my cousin had 3 showers (one at a friend's house, one at her mom's house, and one in Atlanta) and a "diaper party"...and a lot of the same people invited to them. And what's with these "sip and see"s?? Like seriously, I have to buy ANOTHER gift bc the baby is now OUT of you??

roseandtwill · July 2015

Also I'm annoyed at how TB has so many bumps...why they can't show my proper username or profile pic and why I'm showing up as a dude in the icon is beyond me.

inomniaparatus · July 2015

IMO, you have either a shower OR a sip & see. I'm not reeeally jewish but my friends who are customarily don't have baby showers so they may have a naming party or a sip & see.
Obviously, I'd like to invite people over to meet baby but I wouldn't send out formal invites or make it seem like another "event".

I wore the skeleton one with dd I actually made it myself on a black shirt with fabric paint and that's how I told where I worked she was a girl I put a bow on her.
Some of the other Ones are super creepy imo

We had to go to a sip and see last Saturday that was catered with full on invites.

Um yeah!!! I'm not expecting a shower this time but I'm sure my mom will do a little thing with grandmas and aunts... that's what she did last time. My girlfriends did a lunch (like 8 of us) as well. I think what annoys me the most is the expectation. If someone wants to do it, great! But I've had friends who basically demand and help organize it. Annoying!

Kiek · July 2015

I hate having attachment parenting shoved down my throat as the only way to raise your kid. I am a firm believer that every kid is different and you need to adjust. There isn't any one proper way to raise your baby. I live in a community where me not fulling embracing that is very unpopular. I would never judge another mother's parenting so how about you do you and let me raise my baby. We all love our kids and they're all happy so just let it go lol

My moms friend who is having another boy had a full on other shower. No real invites it was on Facebook... And over a month before the event her sister or something was messaging people asking if they were coming. Also what irks me is when they don't send thank you's... Even a Facebook or text thank you is better than nothing then have another shower!
AND the only reason she doesn't have anything from baby 1 is because she raised a super naughty 2.5 year old and he literally destroyed everything and/or she just threw it out

Oh, even better. I had a coworker (18 months between her boys). She insisted on a school shower with her second kid. On her registry... pull ups, potty seat, toddler bed rail, etc. I bought your first kid stuff last year!!!!

kayjay44 · July 2015

@ooproject - Most people who do a sip and see, here at least, don't have showers and ask for no gifts. It's usually for a second baby. We might do one.

This is DD's first Halloween where she'll actually trick or treat (just on our street, probably), so it'll be all about her

She and DH will probably dress up.

inomniaparatus · July 2015

Yea Id do a sip & see for a second baby or if I wasn't having a shower. This is my first and I'm going to do a gender reveal cake with just family and my mom will throw me a nice shower so a sip & see on top of that would be too much. But, for a second, I think it's more than acceptable.

wisco29 · July 2015

UO: even if someone else throws you a full on second shower and you didn't ask for it its still just tacky! Especially if you are having the same sex baby.
Idk what we will do for a sip and see- we baptized dd at 3 weeks so that was essentially our sip and see with immediate family (grand parents and a couple others was 40 people) probably just do that again idk yet I have 33ish weeks to decide

Halloween: If I have a very showing belly I am dressing up for sure and rocking my bump.
We went last year but it was sooooo cold and she didn't fully understand obviously, it was mostly just a play date with dhs coworker
