I've been playing the same damn level of candy crush soda saga for a couple days now and it's pissing me off. I can't get the last 2 bears ever.
What level? I had to delete that game off my phone yesterday after only having it for a week or two. My addiction was bad. Playing instead of sleeping. Playing at work. Playing at a stop light. Wanting to play while I was with LO. It was crazy!
Hope you beat your level soon! It's maddening!
Level 80. I just can't get the last 2 bears. I almost had it and only needed 2 more moves to win but I don't spend money on the games so I couldn't do it.
I get that, but I think the warnings have gone overboard. In developmental situations, like let's say some baby starts walking at 8 months, which isn't typical, I can understand. But I feel like every time someone wants to celebrate that they feel normal because they got a full nights sleep, or happy because they pumped 8oz of bm, we have to almost apologize for it. And that is total crap IMO. I mean, I FF completely and my kid doesn't sleep through the night. But it isn't fair for me to make others feel guilty about their kid STTN just because it isn't my situation.
I also think that just by adding a "warning" before sharing something won't necessarily keep someone from making comparisons. The only thing that a warning or disclaimer does is give the person a chance to not read it. How many people actually stop reading the thread when they see ***UNICORN ALERT*** ?
I'm more freaked out when people say how the doctor says how perfect or advanced a baby is than if someone says "I slept for 8 hours." My doctor said my kid was "perfect," but never "advanced," so now I'm convinced she will never roll over (exaggeration). Just about everyone in here has their kids rolling over, and mine just. Won't. Then, there's the size thing. My sitter said again today that her mom came to see the baby and just would NOT believe that my kid was ONLY 3 months. I feel like my kid is huge, and I'm worried about it, especially when people are saying their kids are like 12 pounds or whatnot. And it goes both ways. Some people would LOVE for their kids to be 15 pounds! There's no way to know which way to play it.
I'm the most paranoid person on the planet, and I agree with the above. I've never put a unicorn warning on anything I've written, but then again, I think the only shit I ever had to brag about was her sleeping, which, FYI, she's up twice a night now, but I am not really bothered by it.
What's next? I have to stop talking about my husband because he's legit awesome and other people have problems with their SOs? I'm jealous people have awesome families and moms. Mine suck. But I'm happy for those with good families, and I like reading about it.
I TOTALLY get WHY we're doing it. Because we honestly don't want members of our tight-knit group to feel bad. But. I don't know where it ends, and I'll never remember to do it, so I'll be a dick and not even mean to do it.
I tend to skim when I'm behind, and seeing UNICORN WARNING actually draws my attention to it.
Dude DS was 18lbs2oz and 26 1/2 inches at his four month appointment. We are in 12 month clothes he is totally normally just a beast.

Just keep trying.
You can get infinite lives by resetting the time on your phone ahead, then open the app, then set it back.
Fffc I'm so addicted I've beaten candy crush several times but then they come out with more levels.

This. DS was 19lbs 8oz. The nurse weighed him twice because she thought her scale was off. It wasn't. Somebody's got to be in the 95th percentile!
I am so behind, as usual. FFFC: I stopped pumping last week and didn't tell you guys. I know you all won't judge, but I felt guilty and I hate failing at things. LO had stopped nursing a week or so before. She preferred the bottle, I think because it was easier and faster. I was just going to keep pumping for a while, but I hated it and don't have time at work, so I stopped. I have enough frozen to give her two BM bottles a day until mid March. She loves formula. If it makes her dumb, oh well.
Also, I love hearing about your unicorns. My baby is a unicorn in cuteness only. So brag away. It gives me hope.
Seriously, no shame, no guilt. Pumping is not easy, and it damn sure wasn't for me. I cannot imagine being an EPer and I have all the respect for those who are, but it's not for everyone and that's ok.

I think of my time breastfeeding as a huge effort, not a failure. I learned a lot. I might try again with another baby. But I'm done thinking about it with this one. Come to terms and move on. Don't waste time like I did.

I hate when news stations point out that someone who was severely injured in a car accident wasn't wearing a seat belt. I understand maybe their injuries wouldn't be as bad and yes they should have been wearing it, but damn would it hurt to show some compassion instead of saying what they could have done better.

On the flip side - hopefully it reminds people of why they should wear their seat belt...

I understand that point too! I'm sure that is why they bring it up in the first place. I might just be a little bit sensitive to the subject right now anyway.
Perfect example. I don't think you should have to alert the press when you want to tell us how much your adorable little guy weighs.
I know. I don't really think any of us should but that's why I personally do it. Nothing wrong with a string bean baby! Nothing wrong with a huge huge baby who hurts your arms when you hold him either.
I know I love my string bean baby! So much easier to get up 3 flights of stairs!

Understandably so. And I'm someone who constantly fights with DH about putting on his seat belt so I'm a bit overly sensitive the other way.

I always make my SO put his seat belt on too and my friend definitely should have had his seat belt on today. He may not have been in such critical condition if he was.

I'm really sorry about your friend. Seat belt or not, I hope he's ok and they get the swelling under control soon.

I have a huge baby and sometimes I wish he was a string bean. This kid is killing my back.
Yup. Because how dare you talk about pregnancy symptoms on a PREGNANCY FORUM on a board for PREGNANCY. That's just crazy talk right there...
Ahhhh! This reminds me of when it was my turn to pick the siggy challenge. I picked pregnancy fails or something and she got so upset about being left out. What was I supposed to do about that?

Which is so stupid because you can put a pregnancy fail in your siggy without HAVING TO BE PREGNANT.
I have caught up and don't have much to weigh in about BF/FF. Because honestly, I don't care. Feed your kid whatever works for you. I've done it both ways and have no opinion on it really. Except don't push your beliefs on others.
Also, thankyou everyone for your kind words and support. I know you're all right and I am feeling a bit better about it now.
