Let's hear them ladies!
Re: UO Thursday 4/27
My UO: I've been stalking pinterest for nursery ideas, and I can't wrap my head around all of the white. I do think most of them are really beautiful as far as aesthetics and home design go, but they just seem so cold and sterile for a baby. Give me all of the colors!
@armstrongatron Give me all the colors also!
@armstrongatron some of them can look sterile but if done correctly with bits of color I think they look wonderfully relaxing! Soothing place to be. Maybe this is my UO but having too many bright colors makes me feel really stressed, I'm a muted kind of gal. My whole apartment is decorated in dusty blue, light grey, and beige. Makes me feel so much more calm.
Though if anyone posts a picture of anything that comes out of one of those holes, other than a baby, I will find and use every vomit gif there is.
Eta: I change my auto correct word and didn't get that I edited and the felt weird. So here's my edit claim.
I don't explain why I edit...it's mainly just because I remembered something else and don't want to post multiple comments in a row.
My UO is that I think cats are gross. Their bodies are slinky and their eyes can look like the gateway to hell. Plus the shedding in clumps thing skeeves me out.
DS1 is 7. DD is 1. DS2 is coming in late April.
I feel like she came into my life when I was a fully formed adult and so we can have an adult relationship. Also, only one woman birthed me, raised me, dealt with my teenage shit, and has been there since day one. She's my mom, no one else. /endrant
This is is obviously a hot button issue for me. Lol

I tried with the first two pregnancies but they made me feel sick and usually made me puke (yes I tried many kinds, even the Flinstones
Also, I call my MIL "Mama Lisa." If you met her, you'd get it. She's so sweet and wonderful, but it still keeps the distinction for my mother. Plus, I actually wanted a close relationship with my in-laws. I grew up seeing how strained my parent's relationships with their IL's were and didn't want that for me. Fortunately, I got the best MIL on the planet. And everyone's kinda picked up on her nickname since I started calling her that when DH and I got engaged. Now she wants it to be her grandmother name too.

To me it's not that I have a strained or difficult relationship with my MIL. It just gets under my skin that she calls HERSELF "mom" in notes and emails to me when I have never called her that.
