@bnsmith85 My FFC i have to disagree with you! I HATED the ending of last season because it was so happy go lucky. All I could think of was why are they just swimming? why are they not trying to escape? why is this a scene? That's just my opinion I am excited for this new season though.

@Ashleymn... My husband said the same thing lol... Why the hell aren't they escaping?! I'll admit it, I just love a happy ending. All the warm and fuzzies over here lol
Eta- I had a moment there where I was like, what the hell did I do? Because I saw my name, disagree with you, and hated in bold and all caps. I thought I must have gotten feisty and forgot about it for a moment lol
My confession is a bit silly, but a church near our neighborhood is having a giant garage sale and I feel like it would be a smart choice to go look for good deals on baby stuff, but I really don't wanna so I'm not gonna. I also don't take advantage of Craig's List and I probably won't be able to bring myself to buy diapers used. I am just not an appropriately frugal person. =(
@RainMira9e I was trying to get some deals on cloth diapers, and my friend suggested I get some used ones on a mom sharing site. Well I went to go look at the selection, and they had a disclaimer that said "There might be some stains." I noped right out of that website and have just been purchasing one at a time.
@SpaceBurger why not look at places like VarageSale for people that are selling them either new or barely used (and you can see them before committing to buying them). You can get some great deals there too.
I work weekends because my husband watches DS (he is M-F, 9-5). When I get up (~7AM) DS usually wakes up too, which pisses DH off because he wants to sleep in but can't. Too bad, but whatever. My supervisor has ok'd giving me an extra hour each day because my work load has increased a lot lately, and I can apply it however I want (come in an hour early, stay an hour late, 30/30 split). I'm thinking of doing a 30/30 split because I always wake up early on work days and can't fall back asleep anyways but I realized it's going to piss DH off even more because DS will wake up sooner, too. I will probably do the 30/30 split anyways.
I have a couple. While DH was at the gym, I went to 3 pharmacies in our town to find the semi-permanent hair dye I used to use. The plan was to dye my hair while he was gone because it's a subtle enough change he prob wouldn't notice or will think it's just from the sunlight, and I just didn't feel like hearing him lecture me that it's bad for the baby, but I took so long that he was already home by the time I could find the right dye. My second confession is that I realized I love checking our registry to see what was bought! I think it makes me sound like such a materialistic, entitled B but I have to admit I loved the thrill and surprise that things were already bought so I can't stop checking now, and honestly I get a little disappointed when the "purchased" number stays the same for a few days. All of this still feels surreal most of the time, so it just feels sort of like a really fun game on my phone...
I haven't had nachos since finding out I pregnant because it's on the "no no list". I'm giving in. I'm buying some damn nachos and I'm enjoying it. The craving is real, I told my SO to fight me i'm getting myself some delicious and satisfying nachos.

Wait....I just had nachos and have had them several times since BFP. Why are they on the list??
Nacho cheese carries the risk for listeria apparently. Also, they suggest only eating pasteurized if you do, and I'll be honest I just ran to Taco Bell and orders there nachos with no meat so it's highly processed.

It is literally impossible to go to a sports game and not eat nachos... I made homemade salsa last week and had leftover chips and definitely just bought nacho cheese (ok, ALMOST nacho cheese) this morning. It can't be bad if it comes in a jar, right?
Oh boy...Nachos have been one of my cravings this pregnancy! I can't get enough! I've had them for dinner so many times my husband jokes the baby is going to come out salsa dancing... Too late now, but hope my cheese was pasteurized!
P.S. My favorite version is from Moe's because I can tell them exactly how I want it. Plus I get the cheese on the side so I can pour it on when I get home at the last minute and chips don't get soggy. Mmmm....now I want some.

I don't understand this... Nacho cheese IS pasteurized. It's also heated, which would kill any listeria. Just because it's "soft" doesn't mean it's not pasteurized.
I dunno but it seems like what I'd consider "nacho cheese" would make things like velveeta Mac n cheese off limits too (totally ok because it's disgusting - although maybe that's my UO). @LMNOBaby now I want to try Moe's nachos and they don't open til 11
Mmmm nachos! I used to love Boston Pizza's nachos but they changed them and now they're garbage and we don't have this place you call Moe's (in Canada here), so I'm highly sad now
I didn't know canned or jarred cheeses were the definitive nacho cheese of the universe. Personally, when I make what I consider nachos, it's a huge plate (or baking sheet if FI is joining me) of corn tortilla chips with a thin layer of shredded Monterey Jack cheese. They are then smothered in refried beans, shredded chicken, jalapeños, black olives, onion, and diced tomato. Then they are smothered with another much thicker layer of shredded cheese. Then baked in the oven until deliciously gooey. Then garnished with sour cream, guacamole, and for FI, also topped off with lime juice and cilantro. No canned or jarred cheese in my nachos.
However, when we go to the bowling alley I will shamelessly have two orders of plain old nacho sauce nachos to myself and love Every. Single. Soggy. Bite.
I don't listen to more than half the crap they tell you to avoid eating because of listeria. There was a huge listeria outbreak by me from bagged salads and spinach, but I noticed nobody suddenly insisted pregnant ladies stop eating fresh veggies. To each their own though!
@AllyTheKid that was EXACTLY what I was thinking! Now I must have homemade nachos. But alas... GD prevents me from a giant glorious plate of them. Adding that to the list of things for people to bring me in the hospital along with pizza, cake, thrifty ice cream, lemon cookies, orange chicken, pad tai ...a mai tai..... lol

Actually, bagged salads and pre-packaged veggies/fruits are on the list for listeria risk. Fresh would be a head of lettuce you buy and doesn't carry the same risk. All that said, I still eat them too
Okay I have a new FFFC, because I just realized it. I wanna breastfeed, but I'm a little freaked out with the idea of another human sucking on my boob (I never got pleasure out of boob foreplay, I sat through it for the guy, but now I'm pregnant I can't even do that it freaks me out that I might leak). I'm a FTM so I really really really hope that when it comes to actually BFing, that the notion of feeding my child will trump my freaked outness.
@von1976 I'm going to be honest I don't understand the logic behind it either i just know it was on the list I saw. From what I read everyone has been eating them so I don't see a reason to really worry I'm enjoying nachos for now on.
SO and I have been together: 5 Years+ BFP: 03/10 First Baby: 10/20/2016
@LauraPCOS I was the same way. While I planned on doing it for the health benefits, I always thought breastfeeding was a little weird. Then I had my first kid. I breastfed until he was almost two and would have kept doing so if I hadn't gotten pregnant (it hurt too much and my mom told me I was weird for breastfeeding an almost-two-year-old). I think it seems much less weird once you start doing it. (It also helps that I moved out of a small town in the Midwest, where my family lives, to a city that's much more friendly to breastfeeding.)
Mine is also in re to my MIL, whose visit is impending! My in-laws are notoriously pushy and bargy-inny (?). They have no concept of boundaries, nor any appreciation for my DH's or my boundaries. They recently moved far away (to my great relief), but keep visiting over and over again with the expectation that we can accommodate them in our little 1950's bungalow. (we have one full bath and 3 people using it already)
They both have other family (less than a mile away from us) with large homes and multiple bathrooms. They also both have friends here, but continue to insist on staying with us! I am soooo over this!!! Help!!!
I already agreed to host her visit in 10 days, so I cannot waver on this. But, can anyone give me any advise on how to politely, yet firmly tell her that we need our space and simply don't have the room for additional house guests... Esp when the new baby comes!!! All of my previous attempts to politely decline their self-invitations have been met with guilt trips. I can't deal!

also what kind of gourmet nachos are unpasteurized?

It's a little weird at first but once you hit your groove it's really no big deal.
