AFM: I don't have a "baby" inside of me. It's barely even a fetus. I'm hoping that all goes well, and it will turn into a baby, but at this point calling it that sounds ridiculous to me. I don't have much of a problem with mothers-to-be calling their embryos/fetuses a "baby" but I burst out with a laugh of indignation when my ultrasound tech pointed out my "baby." I don't think I'll think of it as a baby until the cord is cut, and it's a separate entity from me, but at least until 20 weeks or so when it's actually a viable person.

My UO: I don't get the hype on making emergency kits for natural disasters. We had a 4.4 earthquake in the bay last night and my local mom group is up in a tizzy about having our kits made and ready. I feel like even if I have a bin with water and documents in it that's not going to do much for me in the event of a giant earthquake.

Cantelope is my favorite fruit. How's that for a UO?!
My UO is that I think caffeine is fine in pregnancy as long as you don't overdo it. Like, who can live without coffee? I actually texted my boss to get me coffee today. He told me, "Anything for you, as long as you're fragile." Lmao. I knew him before I worked for him so I wasn't offended in the least. It was funny.
I think I used this one on my last bmb, but I don't like when parents pierce their infants ears.

@livinthesunnylife cantelope?! But whyyy Definitely a great UO. All those leftover edible arrangements I've ever seen was just a carcass with nothing left but the cantelope.
Also, summer overripe cantelope smells like a dirty diaper imo
@Firemanswife11 yes to the coffee! I drink 1-2 cups a day normally and haven't cut down at all.
@calimom2524 we live in an area prone to tornadoes and I think the most we've done to prepare is figure out which part of the basement we'll hunker down in... And I think there's a flashlight down there somewhere...
You all should know that I will now worry constantly about each and every one of you Uber riders.

UO I hate the beach
Married: 6/2016
TTC #1: 12/2016
Benched due to deployment- Off the bench 8/8/17!
@Firemanswife11 Yes, same. Like as long as you aren't downing Monster all day, you should be fine.
AFM, I hate Snapchat and think it's dumb. I can't stand seeing selfies that were taken using Snapchat filters and I definitely can't stand when people post videos of themselves face-swapping or pretending to be a dog. Just stop.
@ecwk What about beach activities? Like walking on the beach? (says person living on the face of the sun with no beach)
I have snapchhat and I love it, I use it to share snaps of DS with my mom friends and they share snaps of their kids. I also like to do horrifying face swaps and give people nightmares.
Cantelope and Honey dew are the devil's fruit.
UO - I don’t like pineapple and watermelon. People think I’m crazy for all of the above!
Oh, and pineapple on pizza? That should be illegal.
DS: 5.28.15
DS#2: EDD 8.31.18
Also, I loathe cold weather after NYE. It's fine for the holidays but now? I'm done with it.
@lolog531 Watermelon is disgusting. But so is honey dew. And pizza with pineapple is delicious!
I'm kinda meh about the beach in summer - I much prefer it during the off-season when there aren't a ton of people and the sand doesn't cook my feet off. But the little beach towns with cute shops and restaurants - yes please all day every day.
I totally use snap chat to turn DS into a dancing hot dog or whatever and send it to DH. He doesn't get it.
What is Dr pimple popper?

2. Piercing babies ears doesn't bother me, if it bothers you just don't pierce your baby's ears. No need to judge others who do. Do what you want and let the others roll off.
@ecwk I'm with you. I hate the beach. I guess not really the beach - I hate the ocean. I refuse to walk or swim in it - I've had far too many mishaps in the water.
I also don't use snapchat - but I think it's because every single one of my students do, and that immediately turns me off to it. Maybe if I wasn't a teacher I would be on it...?
My UO is that I despise apples. Pretty lame, but everyone I tell that to seems genuinely surprised that someone on the planet doesn't eat apples...
My UO is that I love the Kardashians and am even more obsessed now that so many of them are pregnant, it now combines two of my interests.
