As I was drinking my coffee this morning, I started to wonder if my baby is going to be born addicted to caffeine. Right now I'm only drinking the one cup a day that was given the okay by my Dr. Then I started wondering if I keep drinking coffee after giving birth if the caffeine is going to affect my breast milk and make my baby hyperactive.
This next snowflake moment is brought to you courtesy of my MIL. Apparently everyone that's having a baby this year is having a girl. It's because of all the hormones that they're putting in chicken. Men are growing boobs and only girls are being born.
Do you or does someone you know act like a special snowflake sometimes?
Feel free to share your SS stories, questions, and experiences below...
This reads like the end of a trashy morning show.
"If you or someone you know does not know who the father of the child is and would like to be on our show please contact us at www.themaurypovichshow.com."
I'll confess... I had the thought while eating peanut butter.. What if baby is allergic to nuts? Am I hurting him in there?! Then I came back to non SS planet earth.

I'm on a FB mom's group from when I was pregnant with my son 3 years ago. I don't check in very often, but there was a mom who was 5 weeks pregnant and posting BARE BELLY pics of her blump and going on and on about how you show sooner with your second.

As an over-generalization, what you eat/drink doesn't affect your baby/breastmilk. (Obviously there are exceptions regarding alcohol, and milk/soy intolerance) However, the mantra you should start practicing now is "every baby is different." I'm not a big coffee drinker. Caffeine affects me to an insane degree. And although none of my friends ever had an issue, I had to cut out coffee/caffeine completely while I was breastfeeding. If I had any, my kid would be up all night...for 2 days.

Someone posted their 6week ultrasound on Facebook yesterday right after they left the doctors office (it had the date on it). All you can see is the sac and a fetal pole. I just hope it all works out. I understand being excited but 6 weeks is too early to be posting ultrasound photos announcing a pregnancy on social media. Both I and my BFF had miscarriages at 6 weeks. Another friend of mine had a miscarriage at 13 weeks.
I am predicting that this girl will be posting her 12 week u/s with a shot of the baby's genitals asking people to "guess the gender".

I'm surrounded by special snowflakes. I have friends that demand ultrasounds because they want to see the baby again, friends who insist their showing and huge even when they're in the first trimester, friends who take "bump photos" at 6 weeks......
And it probably isn't surprising that I call them all on their SS status.
I love my kid sister but she's not even pregnant and she's a total special snowflake. She is one of the people who has to post EVERY SINGLE DETAIL of her life on FB. Like "OMG had the best taco for super." And yes she actually doesn't know the difference between super and supper. If she ever gets pregnant I might have to defriend her.
My 8 year old kid is acting like a special snowflake right now because we told him that "reading" Lego or Star Wars or Lego Star Wars encyclopedias, that are mostly pictures with short explanations, does not count for his daily reading and that he has to read real books with actual stories, short chapters, etc. I have ruined his life and the sky is falling.
My dad was being a funny SS at dinner last night. He said he plans to take our baby girl fishing but he wants to get her five life jackets. FIVE! One to wear around her chest and one for each limb. He also wants to get a GPS tracking device to put on her arm. DH and I were like "WTF? Where are you planning to take her fishing?"
I follow this pregnancy group on Facebook that's full of SS. It seems like every other day somebody is asking if it's okay to throw their own baby shower for their 2nd kid because nobody else will. They get all these pats on the back from the other SS's on the board with replies like "Of course, every baby needs to be celebrated", "you don't stop having birthday parties after your kids first birthday" or "your friends and family should be more than happy to shower you with gifts." I know there are certainly exceptions out there in that age group, but most of these girls appear to be 20 or younger... It just feeds into the whole entitlement stereotype of this generation.
Everytime I eat sugar (which is my biggest craving), I worry that I'm going to have gestational diabetes. And everytime I get a migraine, I worry it's pre-eclampsia. Definitely SS status.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one worried that too much sugar would lead to GD.

That is great! We are having a girl, but we don't eat chicken. I wonder if our girl is because of the hormones?
I'm a special snowflake because I seriously don't understand why relatives from across the country want to know when a shower is being held. They aren't going to come for it so why does it matter to you? I'm sure they are just being nice and I'm being stupid but I just don't understand it.
the SS that I know is on Facebook. She has put almost everything about her pregnancy on her Facebook page and now that baby is born putting weekly pictures up (with blocks that say 02 weeks)... I get the monthly ones but the weekly ones?? She's just over the top with everything.

I know someone who has a hashtag for their kid on instagram/facebook and after every post does #kidsnamedailypic and she literally posts every single day. I finally unfollowed her because I couldn't take it anymore.
I'm planning on doing the same with this girl. It's just too much.

One girl from HS that I'm friends with on Facebook posts daily pictures of her son eating something new each day. She'll post a series of pictures from the same meal with a caption that says "Junior eating ground beef/tomatoes/cheerios for the first time! #proudmama".

YES. I have one of these too. It's so obnoxious! Yes, your son is cute, but do I need to see 10+ pictures of him doing average baby stuff on the daily?!

I had a friend who created an entire Facebook group and a personal Facebook page for her baby. Then every time I declined the invite to join, she would just send it again. WTF. I'm stubborn so i kept declining until she got the message. IRL she's really nice but on FB about her baby she was a total SS.
