@CarrieOct15 I'm terrible at keeping up with how many actual months DS is. When he was 1, I said he was one. And now I say he's 2. I only clarify if people ask and I always have to count in my head to figure it out. Lol.
Also, I don't like when people refer to their kids as X many months old after a year. Your kid is not 21 months old. Your kid is one.
I'm with you here! A guy told me his daughter was 23 months the other day, I wanted to slap him and say you mean she's two? I definitely see that there's a huge difference developmentally between a 13 month old and a 22 month old, but come on, really?!
You ladies are cracking me up, I think I could second just about every UO today...boobs, maternity clothes, people micro-documenting their pregnancies on FB, it all drives me crazy!
Another one: When ladies post their huge pregnant belly all over FB/the bump/everywhere for the whole world to see. I get that yes, that is a beautiful thing, but it doesn't need to be on the World Wide Web.
eta: I mean the naked belly. I'm all for cute bump photos. Just cover it up please
If they are 12-15 months I say they just turned one in April. If they're 15-20 they're a year and a half. 20-24 months they're almost 2 or will be 2 in April. I can't think fast enough to say exact month. They're either 1, 1.5, or 2 and so on!!
My UO is that I don't enjoy feeling the baby kicking, it actually makes me nauseous and my stomach starts doing circles. I literally feel like that Sigourney Weaver in Alien.
This. It makes me feel nauseous and lightheaded. Of course if I don't feel kicking for a while I start to panic...
I feel like I've seen this UO before on here but I have to reiterate that I'm not a fan of monogramming everything
It's a big thing in my city and I can't stand it. Monogrammed blankets, shirts, burp cloths, diaper bags, wipe dispensers. Initials on everything!
Everyone is baffled that I don't like it but I either won't want to reuse it for my next babe or I will not want to use it because I think it's "too nice".
My very UO... I HATE chronicling my pregnant belly week by week and then chronicling my baby's growth through year one on social media (or anywhere for that matter). I see images plastered all over my FB feed with a pregnant friend/family member/colleague standing by a blackboard that reads "20 Weeks! Baby is the size of a banana and [insert all other bits of info people jack off sites like TB]. The only thing I find more annoying is when someone sticks their kid in a onesie with the "X months" bubble on it. Sorry lady... I didn't care about your bump progress for 9 months and I certainly don't care to know how many months you've managed to keep junior alive.
See I'm the opposite - I love that stuff! I follow a couple of beauty/makeup vloggers on YouTube, and a few of them vlogged their pregnancies, and posted monthly updates pre & post birth. I loved watching them. I have been taking a bump shot every 2 weeks or so, and it's really for my own entertainment & memory keeping.
I'm somewhere in the middle on this. I do enjoy watching some people's pregnancies, especially bloggers I follow. Though when people post random statuses updating everyone on the labor process...Not cool at all. Give me a birth announcement, sure, but I do not need to know that you don't have any fluid left..wtf.
As for the monthly photos of baby, I plan to do that but for my scrapbook, I don't want that many pictures of my child out there for all the world to see.
My UO: everyone has the right to decide whether or not they want naked pictures of themselves on the internet. My SIL posted a full-frontal bathtub picture of my niece the other day and then was offended when it got reported... Umm, she just turned one. Pretty sure she doesn't want to find naked pictures of herself on the internet someday. Not to mention what some weirdos would do with that photo... So gross.

-----Quote Fail!----- If you follow a blog/vlogger, you WANT the update. I love my friends, but the weekly updates on their pregnancies on my Facebook feed made me stabby. It doesn't get better after baby though, they just move onto baby updates and, in the case of one of my friends, incredibly detailed astrological talks.
My UO is actually a popular one, but I'll throw it anyway. 3D ultrasounds are frickin terrifying.
Agree on the US!! Give me the good ol black and white. I love finding out sex before born but I don't want to see what they'll really look like until born.

My black and white one today was scary. The kid currently looks like a damn alien.
Haha @GingerAvenger saw mine today and you can make out the outline of one of the eyeballs... Looks totally alien, and slightly terrifying. I'm not sure what I would do with 3D.
The 3D U/S aren't cool until the very end when the baby is mostly developed. We had one at 34 weeks due to preterm labor and we could actually make out his facial features and tell what he would look like. I had one at 13 weeks and he looked like something out of the movie Predator.
I'm not sure if this is an unpopular opinion on N15, but it seems to be outside of TB. SO & I have decided we're going to do baby-led weaning/self-feeding with our LO, which means skipping pureed baby food and going right to solids around 6 months. The idea is to avoid spoon feeding your baby, and let the baby eat whatever you're eating (cut into bite-sized and/or mushed up pieces, of course). We read a lot about it, and thought it was more popular considering some of the benefits, but when we've brought it up to friends/family, they don't like the idea. Oh well, our baby.
I have a couple of friends who did it, one loved it and her kids eat anything now. The other ran into a snag because her LO doesn't like getting her hands dirty! She eats like a champ, though. We will probably do a combination of BLW and purees (for convenience and at daycare, since they may not be into BLW or be able to do the close supervision to prevent choking).
We did BLW and loved it. Day care was willing to do it, but we did not really take them up on it. He had solids with breakfast and dinner, and just BM at day care (they did give him yogurt drops or baby rice crackers sometimes). Before 1 food is just for fun so we did not worry about it. At about 1 he actually started eating a significant amount of food so we had day care start giving him what the toddlers were eating (DC provides all food). It was honestly just easy and stress free. I also like eating as a family and not having to worry about spoon feeding the baby.
Oh and DS has tons of shirts that have stupid saying on that like daddy's all star, because we were given almost his whole wardrobe from a friend who's kid outgrew them. Stupid saying get a lot cuter when they are free.
