I fucking hate Indian cuisine. Curry is gross. Smells and looks like diarrhea. Also, every base is like a creamy tomato. ALL the vomit.

Agreed. I went to an Indian restaurant with friends once (not by choice) and all I ate was rice and pita bread.

If you think Indian is bad, do not try Ethiopian.

I've never tried it, I've only heard of it. I do love Indian, though.

We are looking to have another one sometime mid 2017. We want them to be about 2.5 years apart. I know it's crazy to plan so really the only goal we have is to not get pregnant January-March because having a newborn during the holidays with a H in retail suuuucked a giant one.

I'm thinking I'd like a 2016 baby, but September--December would be good. I liked having the holidays off!

I tried Ethiopian for the first time the night before I had my baby. My husband bragged on Facebook that he convinced me to try it. Then BABY!

Now everyone thinks it causes labor. It doesn't. I got pulled for a c/s after a lack of movement at my non-stress test. I've had at least 3 friends recommend Ethiopian to their very pregnant friends on Facebook.

Another UO ... I wish everyone kept the same names they had on TB.

I totally get being weirded out by a lurker like myself.
It was just time to join or walk away for me. I've found this community to be such a form of solace. Yall are awesome, honest women.

Well, I mean, if newbs are going to flatter us, I vote it's ok for you to stay.

Tell me I'm pretty.

I also am not a fan of female bc. I've tried the pill, depo, and implant. All of the hormones fuck me up. And I have heard too many horror stories about IUDs. Condoms ftw.

I have never used a condom with DH and we've been together 15 years!

Same. That bastard doesn't even know what wearing a condom is LIKE.

ME TOO, JESUS.

However, I also wish I would have changed mine to just SPurp or THEPURPATRATOR. Then again, do not fear, I could change my name to ILoveTheBump and people would figure out it was me.

The Mirena IUD fucked me up a few years ago when I had it put in. It hurt to move, plus I had all kinds of weird mood swings and side effects. Nope.

I went for the arm implant because I've heard such horror stories about IUDs. Getting it done tomorrow. I don't trust the pill, after getting KU on it.

I got the arm implant and love it. Didn't even hurt going in but the next 3 days were rough my arm was so bruised and sensitive!

[ajh1230]

I didn't find you ladies until late October and didn't jump in until December. I'm glad I finally did though, the knowledge and mommy tricks I've learned from everyone has been so helpful and reassuring that I'm not totally screwing up my kid

[riverandmountain]

spurp13. You're pretty. Like really. How did you not think you looked good in that pic!?

Eta. Wrong name. I'm dumb

It's naan!!!! Not pita!!!!!

Wasn't me who said pita but I do agree naan bread is the only Indian food I can really eat.

DH is so anal that even if I was on the pill he would probably use a condom most of the time. Mostly because I'm uber forgetful.

[Cocomama]

DH loves when I make chicken tikka masala for him but I just can't get myself to eat it. I only have the naan bread and I'll make a separate dish for myself. The combo of all the seasonings just makes me gag.

[Cocomama]

We don't use condoms. DH hates them and I've gotten one stuck inside me before so we don't use them. I got the copper IUD because I didn't want anything hormonal and so far so good.

I think bathing babies in the kitchen sink is gross. This is the same place I wash raw chicken. Even though I clean/disinfect after, the thought of it is still disgusting to me.

I put my baby's bath tub in the kitchen sink and wash her in that.  So she is in the sink, but not touching the sink. What do you think of that?

Not as bad.

I know tons of people who bathe their kiddos in the sink, so I know I'm the weirdo here.

We did DD's first two baths in the sink but it was only because I had a c section and couldn't bend over the tub. DH was afraid to do it himself so I had to do it somewhere that I could stand. I wasn't happy about it because I always thought it was weird to bath a baby in the sink but we did scrub it down pretty well beforehand.

If you get pregnant over the age of about 16, it's not an "accident" (consenual of course). Maybe if you're using 2 forms of BC and they both fail, I'll give you a pass. You took health class, you know how it works.

If you use two forms of birth control and you still get pregnant, it was just meant to be and you probably would have gotten pregnant by making eye contact with someone.

I don't see the longevity in this website. Yes, already established BMB are going to continue to use it. But, a first time, newly pregnant woman isn't going to find this site. The bump is so much more marketable. I love that we all have a place to go, but each new BMB is going to get smaller and smaller.

This is just me rambling. I apologize.

I agree.

AND, I'm going to miss the crazy drive-bys and trolls.

This is a good site to keep in touch with you people, but what happens when I get KU again?

Unless ProBoards is going to market this, I just don't see how this is gonna work.

We are going to try to get KU at the same time so we can create a second bmb with the same people.

So, when you all start trying to get KU (I can't even believe we are discussing this already) again are you bailing to the new bmb?

Absolutely not. There are moms here that have more kids than me. They will (I assume) be around to help me through shit, like they were the first time. I'll probably still post here more often than a new place, to be honest. I have a very, very bad track record with fitting in on online message boards. I'm not convinced I CAN post anywhere else successfully. 

I was just thinking the other night that at some point, on THIS board, there will be TTGP weekly check-ins...

Love this idea!!!!

I was thinking about this too for the next kid. I think my thought train started when everyone was all up in arms on TB and people were commenting on "what their other BMB was doing".

I would want to be part of a new BMB, but I agree I would want to be here more. I would rather read conversations on here than "guys, can I eat lunch meat?"

Purp, if I remember correctly we had the same due date and both had our babies on the 16th. If we end up with due dates in the same month next time we can go to the new BMB together and I will just like all your comments and you can like mine.

Deal! When are you pulling the goalie?

spurp13 and swizz09 You guys could be the trolls on the new BMB!!!  JK

I thought it's actually really unsanitary to wash chicken in the sink, or period before cooking? At least that's what I learned in microbio.

We are going to start trying in july as long as we have moved by then. If we haven't moved then we may have to wait.
