Can I bring this UO full circle? There's a Blaise Zabini in the HP books--male, although there was speculation until Rowling cleared it up and featured him in book six.
I'm okay with HP but not a total fan. I've seen all the movies and have read 2 1/2 books. Blaze as a nickname is fine, as a real name, not a fan, he's going to want to have a nickname for his name at work when he is older. Unless he's a magician or a musician.
UO: I think you shouldn't bring a kid to a movie (including kid movies) until they can sit there and watch it. Like around 5/6 ish (With the exception of the movie theatres that do the lights on a little more and have a little play area). I think it's unfair to other people there and to the kid. If they can't enjoy the movie it's going to be a punishment a few minutes in.
This. And it would be torture for me to try to subdue him and make him sit still for any length of time (impossible), and he would hate it. Just not my idea of a good time. At all.
cagoldi That's true, but it also the statistics help support that alternative choices for birth (midwife, home birth, birth center) aren't inherently unsafe because they still have low numbers of infant deaths despite higher numbers of people birthing out of hospitals. Clearly there are people with health issues who should not opt for out of hospital births and the midwifes that support them and provide care are making poor decisions.
I don't disagree, I don't take issue with women choosing to birth at home or at a birthing center. It wasn't an option for me personally, but it would have been given more consideration if I didn't have some other health concerns. I just don't find the rising maternal mortality rate a compelling argument for deciding against a hospital birth.

I was asked if I want to join a friend and her 15 month old to a movie last Saturday. I said no, because LO is too young and won't sit still. Her response, "It's a kids movie people expect to have to hear a kid crying. We've taken DS to 3 movies since he was born." I then thanked her for the offer but said no again. I just don't get it, wait until it's on Netflix or dvd. No movie is worth it.
My kid won't sit still for a 30 minute tv show. No way is she going to sit still for a 1.5 hour movie.

We go to the movies all the time with our 5, 3, and 1 year old. The 5 and three year old are usually totally into the movie and the baby goes in and out of napping. If some one fusses we take them out so they don't disturb anyone. We only see kids movies, but when my oldest was a baby we would occasionaly go see more adult movies (nothing to loud or violent) during the day. Same policy, if he fussed one of us walked him out.
Why am I using the edit function so much tonight? If our kids didn't like it or would sit still we wouldn't go, but we been taking them all since pretty much they were babies and we all love going as a family!

Ok, I'm going to creep in slowly to the UO. You guys scare me sometime because you are all so well spoken and smart and I'm afraid i"m going to go the way of that Miss America Contestant (do you know who I mean?)….
So. HP. I could never get into it. I tried to read the first book and I"ve seen several movies but I'm just not that into it. It's something I would read or watch if I needed/had to…. i just don't think they would be my first choice.
About anatomy… we call it a bottom. I don't know where we started that, but if my oldest ever hears anyone call it a butt he loudly corrects them. We also say PeePee right now. I'm surrounded by boys, no one cares what my girls parts are called. With that being said I have no problem telling them the correct names for everything.
I don't think sugar free syrup makes sense in the universe…. isn't syrup sugar? How can it be sugar free? And how can that taste good?
Noodle shape: I don't like the curly que noodles and I don't like noodles that are made into shapes. Totes don't taste the same.
I kind of like Blaise as a name, but not Blaze.
Ok, and the big one. I think I really resonated with what Sunny41 said. Obviously I'm not OAD (hello, 3 out already!) but any bad or mixed feelings I had about my birth experience came from other people who thought i should have done it differently. My first baby was a harder labor, 17 hours and then 1 hour of pushing. I tore. It hurt. I felt like they rushed him away before i got to really see him. My second was quick and much more peaceful, and then we found out at birth he had a cleft palate. I was glad to be in the hospital with specialist when that happened. My third came fast and furious, thirty minute after we walked into the hospital. No drugs, not nothing. My doctor barely made it. It was a little scary and a lot intense and it made me wonder what we would have done if it was a Wednesday when my Dh had an hour commute home from work and not a Sunday night when he was there to take me right away. I had an AMAZING OB who delivered all three of my babies. I adore him. He is also part of a larger practice, but i know he gives all of his patients his personal cell phone numbers so he can try to be there to deliver their babies. I don't know if that is breaking rules on his part, but it has worked for us. I could certainly see, if I had had a bad experience with an OB choosing to go to a midwife/birthcenter/ home birth scenario. I think every person that makes this decision (to have a home birth) needs to make it with a good amount of consideration and what ifs in mind, and I assume they do. For me personally, I love my OB and I wouldn't want anyone else to deliver my baby. If he suddenly told me he was delivering at birth center I would probably follow him. But I would also prefer to be in/close to a hospital because of my second sons surprise diagnosis at birth.
On a total side and personal note, I REALLY like the epidural. I didn't get it with Ry since he came so freakin fast. My doctor has told me to be prepared to do it without drugs again next time because there is a good chance the next baby would come that fast also. I was not pleased by this news.

My H's confirmation name is Blaise. If he would have been on-board, our son would be named Blaise. It's a real name. It's a saint. I believe he's the patron saint of throats. I can't remember.

mishkaroni I don't think you can hate on Splenda syrup when you say Mrs Butterworth is legit syrup. I used to go to Vermont every year as a kid and buy real syrup. Omg. You need it in your life.

I think it depends on the kid. I used to take my niece to kid movies when she was 3. She was quiet and sat through the whole movie. It also helps that she had her own kid popcorn. There is no way I'd try it under 3 though.
Guise, this is crazy. I look at literally hundreds of records every week and have never seen anyone with the name Blaise. Just got clinical a for someone with that FN. So weird.

IT'S a sign. You're pregnant and your next baby is named Blaise!!!
