Could you imagine Ted Cruz selecting a replacement for RBG?

Just shoot me now. 

I highly doubt he will get selected as the Republican nominee. He is too extreme in his views and does not compromise. We need someone who is willing to work with both sides.

But I am still in denial that my great state of Texas voted in this wackadoodle.

I told DH I was in a lot of pain and having a contraction so I didn't have to go take care of DD because I was laying down and comfy. In my defense it's his day off and I was having contractions...sorta....

I love Hillary! Am I the only one?! This is probably an FFFC too, but I don't understand how you would not vote for her, even if you're a Republican.  We need a women in office! And even though I'm a democrat, I dislike Obama, and she can't be worse then him.

Feel free to elaborate why you don't like her/her policies, because I'll admit I'm not as informed as I should be.

Are you saying all women should vote for her solely because she is a woman?  If that isn't sexist, I don't know what is...

I agree with you. Definitely sexist, but that's just how I feel.

My friend gave me her big body u-shaped maternity pillow. I had to google which way to use it.

It's kept me up at night. It's terrifying.

I want these babies out of me now...like right now. I want them to be healthy and all, but I hate feeling so freaking useless and uncomfortable. Part of me is hoping that my OB is correct when she says that they will probably be here late April/early May. I'll be 34+ weeks by then and they would need NICU time, so this feeling is totally selfish and I'll change my mind about posting this in 2 minutes.

Same here. The sad thing is, even if I agreed with all of her policies, she's just so damn unlikable in general. She doesn't even seem like a real person...

Personally, I wish Elizabeth Warren would run but that's never going to happen. 

I was just going to write the exact same thing. I wish Elizabeth Warren would run too. She is so incredibly intelligent and passionate.

But it doesn't look like that is happening..I'll end up voting for Hillary if she is on the final ticket but would def prefer EW

I wear PJs for at least a week. And I hate doing laundry so right now I have probably 12 loads to do. Seriously I have a habit of buying clothes cause I cant be arsed washing them. DH has now taken on this bad habit too.

I have definitely pulled a few shopping trips to resupply my socks and underwear, which totally accounts for why I have so many of those! I most recently have done this to get out of washing DH's stuff. It's not my fault he has less than me!

My FFC: I know you aren't supposed to microwave food in plastic containers but I do it all the time. I just can't make myself freak out over BPA or whatever it is.

I haven't been the best at abiding by the weight limit for lifting. My OB said nothing over 25lbs, well I don't have a scale to weigh every damned box at work so I guesstimate.

I hoisted a 50 lb bag of horse feed the other day. Not my best move, and not graceful. But shit had to get done. My kids are both over 40 lbs, so not too much over what I'm used to. And your body will tell you if it's too much!

I am seriously considering getting an elective 3D US done just so I can see LO. I'm curious and impatient. I hate myself for this.

We are getting one done on Tuesday. I had to have an US anyway, because my OB wants to keep an eye on my placenta every month, but we totally opted to pay the $125 to have it done in 3D. I'm curious and impatient, too! I say go for it!

Someone was wearing a cute Liz Lange maxi dress in their HDBD photo and I wanted it. Then I remembered I had the same dress when I was pregnant with DS and I donated it last spring when we thought we were one and done. I only kept one maternity dress, a skirt, and a pair of jeans with the intention of giving them to Dress For Success. Now after we've changed our minds I've gone and purchased designer maternity jeans that I rarely wear because I love the cheap ones I found later on, and I just spent more on maternity dresses and shirts because I'm so huge and uncomfortable with 8 weeks to go. It's pathetic.

I bought a pair of Citizens maternity jeans and only wore them a couple of times because I discovered Jessica Simpson maternity jeans that I love. Wish I had found the JS jeans first!

The JS maternity jeans are seriously the best! They are all I'll wear now.

So it doesn't matter what she says or what she stands for? 
Based on that logic, you would also vote for Sarah Palin or Michele Bachman if they were the only woman running...

What are your reasons for wanting a woman as president? (Let me just state - I am not opposed to a woman president)

At least Hilary is not insane. The other two had the combined IQ of an ant.  I believe she is the most qualified person out there, she's been in the White House serving as the first lady, then she was a Senator for New York State, and a Secretary of State.  And, let's not forget before politics, she was a successful lawyer and the first lady of Arkansas.  If that's not qualified, I don't know what is.  Look at Obama, he was a freshman senator from Illinois and a community organizer.  I believe she represents intelligent, strong, and independent women and would be great for our country.  But, I understand everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I think you misunderstood what my point was. I never said Hilary wasn't qualified. What bothered me was that you declared everyone should vote for her just because she was a woman, which, to me, is insane and a very bad reason to base your vote on.

Of course Palin and Bachman are idiots, that's why I used them in this example. They are women, so based on your logic of we should just vote for women, I assume you would vote for them if they were running.

I have nothing against Hilary. I personally would never vote for her, but that's my choice. I would never rule out another candidate based on their sex.

We may have both misunderstood each other then.  I would never just vote for any woman based on their sex.  I just personally really like Hillary and perhaps was being a bit flippant.
