I think 3D ultrasounds are creepy looking.

So much yes!! Although I did think it was pretty cool to learn my dude looks identical to his dad through it. I was still weirded out. Especially when he kept covering his face so she just took his arms out!! Then he looked creepy and armless!!!

I hate baby showers. Which, being from the Deep South, means I could be burned at the stake for saying so out loud.

Melissa and Doug toys are junk and I don’t get the hype.

BabyBoyH92016 · April 2018

@tessiesmom26 YES!!!!

im on a FB name group and people post their creepy 3D ultrasound picture and ask for naming help. The commentary is ridiculous with names that the baby looks like. I want to be like, No, that baby does not look like a Harper, it looks like a melting plastic baby doll.

I love the tradition of the Royal family presenting their baby to the media. I think it is so special and is such a happy headline. I also dislike that people are giving Kate a hard time for looking so put together. Yes, labor is hard, but some of the memes going around are ridiculous for what you look like after a normal, vaginal birth. I totally understand people being confused by her appearance and ability to move if they had a hard labor or c-section, but after both my kids, I would have paid money to be able to get out of the hospital in such a short period of time. I begged my doctor to release me early after my second because I hate hospitals so much.

So much this!! It’s really not impossible, even if it’s not everyone’s experience. Especially after my second - I had a 1.5 hour, easy labor and a small baby with no complications - I was up, showered, dressed, make up on, walking around and asked when I could go home within hours, also (but had to stay for the required 24 hours). It’s not unheard of. I also wouldn’t have wanted to have to have my picture taken for the world, haha, but...that is what it is when you’re part of the royal family, so and what choice did she really have?

I love the royals too - I feel like they use their celebrity for good. While I did not look Camera ready the same day I gave birth, I was up and walking around immediately. I am mainly just jealous of Kate’s superhuman good looks, and I feel sorta bad for her that she’s expected to look fabulous at all times. I mean, you know she woulda gotten much more flack if she rolled out in sweats and her hair unwashed and in a messy bun.

@highsteaks oy! I love Melissa and Doug toys! I did preschool speech and language therapy and their stuff was great for language stimulation and all the kids loved them. They're so durable they survived what imagine would be hell for a toy lol. That being said, I've found the quality of the products have declined since I started buying them.

cm716 · April 2018

I hate when people post the ultrasounds online of their unborn child's genitals. You can just tell me it's a boy/girl, I'll believe you.

As my companion unpopular opinion to that unpopular opinion, I absolutely detest naked newborn photos. I just find the thought of photographing my kid naked and then handing that photo to someone a bit unsettling...

cm716 · April 2018

@wannaflickone I'm so with you on the hating hospitals! I always have to wait extra since I am Rh negative. They have to type my baby's Cord Blood before they can release me. But it's my secret dream every time I have a baby that there will be too many babies born and then I'll get to go home super early.

phoenix870509 · April 2018

I think owning 5+ carriers (like Tula or Lillebaby) is a little excessive. Yes, I baby wear, I have a Lillebaby, a ring sling and a water ring sling for when we do water time. But why on earth do you need 15 carriers!? I would understand having 2 carriers so you could tandem wear, but that's it. And I can get on board with owning different styles, like ring sling, wrap, carrier, because sometimes one may be easier than the other. But to own 5+ of the same type? I see no reason for that.

ashkee05 · April 2018

@phoenix870509 when I started my baby wearing journey I thought the same thing. Then my husband liked wearing too and I hated moving the straps so we got two. Some prints are so cute though and sometimes you just find a great deal. I have 5 ssc because i don’t like ring slings or wraps. One in each car so there goes 3, one at home and then I bought the coast mesh for the hot summers when we’d sweat so much, I have a carrier wherever I am now and one perfect for summer so it works awesome for us. I don’t buy the fancy wrap conversions though, I don’t like spending more than 100 lol and some girls do go wayyyyyyy too crazy. I see stash shots and think holy crap that could’ve bought me a car lol But I definitely use all 5 of mine, at least one every single day.

BabyBoyH92016 · April 2018

Yes Kate looked AMAZING, but let’s not forget that she had a team of stylists show up to the hospital a few hours after delivering.

I also heard on the news that in England, they discharge women faster then anywhere else (obviously this is with respect with uncomplicated births) Also, they left so quickly because they don’t want to take away too much attention from the other women/babies in the hospital ward. I’m sure she had lots of support in every possible way waiting for her and the baby upon her return home.

tessiesmom26 · April 2018

Did anyone else see the couple who walked out before Kate and William and was surprised by seeing the media? I would have died if I walked out and was mistaken for the Royals.

highsteaks · April 2018

@mrsdrez all the m&d stuff we have, we’ve purchased/received in the last 3 years, so that may be just quality difference since they’ve got a larger distribution now. the wooden stuff has splintered, paint chips off easily, has deep scratches and marks from typical play. the latest cube puzzle we recieved has paper that’s been glued to the surface instead of paint, and the paper immediately started seperating from the cube. the other brands of wooden toys (and even plastic) that we have seem to be made from harder wood and do not look nearly as beat up. i will say thanks to m&d for progressively changing the toy market for the better, though.

mockingjay1 · April 2018

I don't think anyone looks good with blunt bangs. At the very least if they look ok, I think they look much better without.

It seems to be more of a UO not be interested in the royals. I have no doubt they are nice people, but they're just normal people born into their situation. At least actors/singers/etc earned their fame (usually). I'm not really interested in any celebrity's life though.

goldie987 · April 2018

@wildrainbow YES to hating baby showers. I don't get the hype around them. I'm glad to attend if that's your thing but I really don't get it.

Did anyone see Prince William at the Anzus church ceremony this morning? He was nodding off right up front. It's nice to see that despite the help I'm sure they have, they're still not impervious to the sleep deprivation that is newborns.

therealfrizzle · April 2018

@mockingjay1 I have blunt bangs and love them! It took me a few days to get used to and they've grown too long since I have no time, but I plan on trimming them next week. They make me look 5 years younger and thin out my face. I look fine without, but I am in love with them.

MojieJo · April 2018

@mockingjay1 +1 to having zero interest in the royals lives (or other celebrities). Totally don't get the hype.

booksandcoffee · April 2018

I just had to google what blunt bangs are.
