@JamieK1882 NO! I love Cat and Jack!!!!!! I hope it's just an addition not a replacement.
I personally LOVE gender specific clothing. I mean, gender neutral is ok sometimes and I'm certainly not gonna go crazy with gender specific all the time, but I really liked dressing DS in very boy looking clothes because how else are other people gonna know he's a boy as a baby?!
@tlcl13 I was team green with DS and we just waited until he was born to buy a lot of the clothes. We had a few onesies and kinda gender neutral stuff (yellow, green) and then one boy outfit and one girl outfit to take them home in. We actually ended up receiving a TON of adorable outfits as gifts after he was born so it ended up working out nicely. Double gifts because no one knew the gender at the shower but everyone still wants to buy clothes!!!!
@antoto is this UO prompted by something in particular???
My UO: I'm totally ok with the occasional glass of wine (after first tri) during pregnancy.
With my first pregnancy my first OB appointment started with a student who gave me the whole "no safe amount no safe time" speech when I told her I occasionally had small amounts of wine or beer. Then my actual OB comes in and says "so a glass of wine here and there is fine...". It was pretty hilarious.
@DDRRT1982@mylovelittlelove@ShawnnaO - I'm in North Texas too (guess where from my username) and I want an HEB so bad. I just really struggle with doing a full shop at central market
I'm originally from the midwest, so I would take a Hy-Vee as well!
My UO: I hate not wearing a bra (not like an actual bra, but a sports bra or an unlined comfy bra). I have some big girls - so it's uncomfortable for me to go braless.
@muggle621 It's up to you. My daughter doesn't watch any TV, and she listens to whatever my husband and I feel like listening to. She loves all kinds of music, especially the Beatles.
@missydallas You're crazy! I'm not ashamed to admit that my bra is the first thing to come off when I get home at the end of a day (and I've got big boobs, too ).
The only time I wore a bra at night was in the early weeks of nursing because, well, that whole situation gets messy without one!
@missydallas I can't not wear a bra. I have gigantoboobs. I only take mine off to sleep. I actually hate bras and really wish I could live without them. I dream of getting a breast reduction.
@tlc13 did you see Targets new line? It's gender neutral, but I think it might be for older kids (toddlers and up). I think it's replacing cat and jack
@heatherdubrow you know I'm totally on board with the wine :-)
As for TV (too many people to tag), ours is in the basement, which is not remotely childproof and we have no plan to make it childproof anytime soon. So, basically no one watches TV. My husband and I do watch a lot of Netflix/Hulu/Amazon Prime once our son is asleep. This system works well for us.
My UO - also related to pregnancy "no-no's" - I'm eating all the cheese and still eating sushi. I am drawing the line at raw shellfish though (ie not eating any raw shellfish). Statistically speaking, the risk is much more in raw shellfish than sushi.
@day38 I have had sushi and sushi burritos since I've gotten pregnant and I'm so not sorry. I only go to a place that I've been to a bunch and know the sushi is fresh but... I'm not giving it up this time.
Guys, I saw an article on Facebook yesterday that said Target is getting rid of their old brands (including Mossimo and Morena) and replacing them with new ones.
@wisewitch222 I hope they replace the prices with lower ones, but I doubt it. I've always kinda liked Merona but the prices in recent years have crept up. At the end of the day Target needs to remember that they're not fooling anyone with fancy price tags. It's still just Target and I don't want to pay $30 for a shirt.
@bookishbaker I feel like your hunch is right. The article didn't say anything about prices, but the tone of the quotes suggested they wanted their brands to be more desirable rather than affordable.
My UO: I dislike the drama threads, especially the ones that attract people far outside the bmbs (not talking about month straddlers). I dislike when people tell people to leave TB.
I think "why do people even respond if it's bothering them? Just move on!" but then I don't take my own advice and I keep on reading and reading and reading and reading...
Edited bc this is the first time I've gif'ed and I don't think it worked.
Drama is inevitable. I usually just lurk it. Sometimes it goes too far, but in the process I often learn who I share views with, and who I wouldn't get along with IRL. So it is oddly useful.

This might be a confession, but this is exactly why I would like a few subjects to make their rounds in the group.
I realize this is a Thursday thread and it's Friday, so please forgive me, but here's my UO.... I hate all of these acronyms. I mean does anyone actually refer to their husband as "darling husband" in real life? (Or should I say IRL?)
@stlbuckeye132 I hatehatehate "DH". It sounds way too 1950s for me. I always say "MH". I don't say "BD" either. Sex is a short enough word and we've clearly all had it so...?

Pregnant with #2:
I'm definitely team finding out but I'm dying to buy a few outfits right now, hence the need for gender neutral
@JamieK1882 I hope Cat & Jack isn't going anywhere! They have the cutest stuff and those are my favorite baby jeans that I've found!
Also #teamoccasionalglassofwine
Edit to add @wisewitch222 was right!
@mamaloba816 @ tlcl113 @HappyMonkey817 @KristinUM12
just wanted to clarify so I wasn't causing unnecessry anxiety lol

@stlbuckeye132 @vflux33 I see DH as dear husband instead of darling. I totally say dear husband but it's mostly to tease him. Ha.
Also add my to team #wearallthebras. I have to sleep in a soft sports bra or nursing tank.
