UO- if you're going to post political shit onFB, be ready to back it up.

Brought to you by a friend who shared and a post of a 36 week premie and said Bernie and Hillary want to move the cut off date to 36 weeks. I asked where she read that and now I'm the bitch. This is the only article I could find even remotely close.

www.cbsnews.com/news/hillary-clinton-bernie-sanders-answer-questions-about-abortion/

ETA- does anyone know more about it before I engage this person. Maybe I'm missing something?

I vaguely remember some media coverage about it--but I seem to distinctly remember Hillary was saying that the 36 week thing was in regards to ending a pregnancy due to mother's health/stillborn/baby's health incompatible with life, not as a means of ending an otherwise viable pregnancy.

melody330 so sorry your little guy had a rough night, glad to feel it sounds like he's on the mend though!

TnT10 H and I didn't register anywhere for our wedding BUT it was my second marriage, we already had everything we needed because we had just moved across the country and had to purchase everything, and we got married 3000 miles away from our home.

housecarder a friend of mine got married a couple years ago and her registry was INSANE. She went to Crate & Barrel and put $1000 dollar couches, other big furniture items, I couldn't believe it! Never seen anyone register for items like that before, especially such expensive items. Also, the girls' 4th of July outfits are adorable!

littlesthobo everyone deserves a mental health day (or two) every now and then, especially when you're pregnant! Enjoy your days off!

Does anyone watch Scandal?! OMG I'm excited to watch tonight!

I think this is my next binge watch. Is it on Netflix of Hulu from season 1? I'm just about done with Army Wives and need something new. It's between Scandal and The Good Wife

Yes, it's on Netflix through the start of this season.  It is SO addicting, it is a really good show.

madamewaffles yea that's basically what I'm finding as well. Thanks!

Now this I can understand completely.  Who the eff puts couches on a registry?!  WOW, that is nuts.

I swear we always break even but will never get ahead. Which is fine but sometimes it's overwhelming.

I always feel the same way about money. Whenever I get a little saved there is some big expenses that comes a long and takes it all. It seems like we never get ahead.

My UO is that the Olympics should not be held in Brazil this year. The games should be moved, or the whole event should be canceled.

Yeah, I still shake my head at it whenever I think about wedding registries. And also at my brother when I think about the registry him and his wife put together for their first baby. Not even kidding, he put a pink kids shotgun on the registry for his unborn daughter!

I thought the same thing. Did they not learn anything from the World Cup for soccer a couple years back?

That is something H would have done if left unsupervised with the registry gun.  He still clicked all sorts of random shit that I had to remove online afterwards.  Men.... lol!

Agreed. Lots of factors go into my opinion on this. There's a lot of shit going on there right now.

So just now on one of the mom groups I'm part of on FB someone said that their boobs and nipples hurt and she wanted to put heating pads on them to help with the pain, but was worried that it would make her milk hot and would burn the baby's throat...I definitely snorted while reading it haha!

OMG. I've gotten a lot out of a breastfeeding group I'm in but some new moms are ridiculous. "I ate blue cheese, can I nurse?" "I have a sore throat." "I look 3 Advil." WTF people. Until a few generations ago formula didn't exist. Do you think mom's starved their babies until their runny nose was gone?

Not quite. Haha. But I do think it's cool that babies experience different tastes through breastmilk. I think its is totally fascinating.

It doesn't work that way?! Damn it! I was going to drink straight chocolate syrup and then use heating pads to heat up my milk for Sam, because who doesn't love hot chocolate? Plans ruined.

That's genius. They'll be summer babies so it'll be hot out, a nice cold milkshake is a great idea!

melody330, hope DS catches a break and feels better soon.

Wedding registries have been getting ridiculous. As of late I have just been getting those self-inking stamps with fancy lettering and their address and everyone raves about it. I can usually get a really good deal off of groupon too!

Work threw me a surprise shower today!!! So sweet of them. And then after work I have a crawfish boil to go to. I'm calling this day a win!

[rungirlrun]

And there is a group of guys smoking weed at the playground I'm at with DS. Really? That's appropriate?

[mcktymck]

jenn83 how awesome of them to throw you a surprise shower! Sounds like a great day!

rungirlrun that's disgusting, I would be pissed! How inconsiderate of them to do that in an area that children play.

this happens at our playground too. Mostly with teenagers and cigarettes, but pot too. I've told them to take a hike until there aren't any other people around. Only once did the kids get pissed and wouldn't leave. My BBF's husband is a cop so I just called him and he swung by. They basically shit bricks. It was awesome

[melody330]

ds is taking an epic nap. Three hours. He gets 30 more minutes and then I have to go wake him up. I hate waking him from naps, but he doesn't STTN when he sleeps too long during the day

[comicSans]

melody330 re: sanders & Clinton, here's a pretty good run down of recent inquiries into their positions, and it's even a liberal publication m.motherjones.com/politics/2016/03/hillary-clinton-late-term-abortions

Basically Sanders doesn't believe abortion should have any limits. I don't know that he's ever mentioned trying to change the law though. Clinton, as with most issues answers as little as she can and swings from moderate to more sanders-like depending on who she's talking to and how she's polling.

[littlesthobo]

melody330 how's your DS doing? I'm glad he's having a good long nap, he probably needs it! (And you probably need it too!)

I am so out of breath. Miss you, full lung capacity...

Obviously I should be allowed to sit on the couch for the next 2.5 months instead of continuing to have to move stuff up and down stairs, haul groceries, etc...

Ugh, we're moving the rest of our things in and having to unpack everything in 3 weeks, I'm exhausted just thinking about it. Make sure you're going nice and slow, taking breaks whenever you need them, and drink lots of water!

I wound up waking him from his epic nap. He was going on four hours. When I picked him up he was soaking wet so hopefully his fever broke!
He's just very snugly. And since weaning in February he's been very anti snuggle mommy. He's only had two wet diapers today so I'm really pushing fluids. So far he's eaten crackers, Cheerios and applesauce without throwing up.

[rungirlrun]

mcktymck, I know you said it was a few years ago, but do you remember if the couch and large furniture items were bought off the registry? Don't get me wrong, that is insane, but if people actually bought them the furniture, she may be a genius :-)

tootsie, re Olympics. I totally get what you're saying, and I can see both sides. For one, Brazil is a scary place in terms of Zika and just other stuff going on in Rio. But the Olympics is during their winter, and I read somewhere that the mosquitoes won't be quite as bad. Host cities spend years preparing for the Olympics so the location can't be changed this late in the game. And I think of the athletes who worked their whole life for this Olympic experience - it would be heartbreaking to have them not experience it (aging 4 years can wipe you out of being competitive in many sports - so many athletes are so young).

[mcktymck]

rungirlrun I stalked her registry just to see if anyone bought them and last I had checked they were still on there haha. She also had a destination-type wedding though that forced everyone to have to find lodging for at least one night, so I would've been surprised to see people shell out that type of money on top of everything else!

[tikoberry99]

OMFG I had the most amazing day. I worked a bit of overtime this week and decided to take a personal day.

I had the most AMAZING pedicure. I haven't had one since July because I read a bunch about how toxic nail polish is so I tried to avoid during pregnancy (crazy ass infertility brain at work), but I found a non-toxic nail polish a few weeks ago and said F it...I have a wedding on Saturday and I want a damn pedi. It was soooo great and included a hot stone massage on my legs and feet. Then I got my hairy ass eyebrows threaded and it made me feel like a new woman! Then I went and bought a new dress for the wedding and ended the day with drive thru In N Out with a chocolate milkshake..YUM!

I need more days where I don't have to worry about work, my email and how I'm going to fill my damn timecard (I've been slow since October...boo)
