I 100% wanted a girl with LO, and so did H. If we have a second, I want another girl and so does he. My mil has been going on and on about how we "need"'to have a boy, but I just feel in my heart we're meant to have two little girls.
We did IVF but had no reason to screen the embryos or find out the sex of them. We could have 8 frozen boys or 8 frozen girls, I don't know. I won't test them for a FET, although if someone paid for it? I would. I feel guilty over this from time to time because, you know, I'm lucky to have a healthy baby and all.
For some reason it bothered me that Kim and Kanye tested for a boy but not that John and Chrissy tested for a girl. Maybe because I like John and Chrissy? Totally hypocritical.
Um, I love that swimsuit @jemomma. I want to get a second one just like My target one since I want to be playing in water with LO a lot this summer.
Congrats, @hazeldublin!!
::enabler:: target online has buy 1 get 1 50% off on swimwear, and if you spend $70 you can get an extra 20% off.....I may or may not be combing their swim section right this second....
I think I've posted my suit before - it's black and white and similar to @jemomma's red one. Super comfy!

I think non-religious people celebrating religious holidays is weird. In particular the veneration of saints (St. Patrick and St. Valentine), since there is no "well the Christians just adapted another holiday" argument for those, but Christmas and Easter, too, although those are more understandable given the other celebrations around that time.
I'm not offended by it, I just don't really get celebrating something you are not connected to.

My thought on this is why does it have to be religion that connects you? In my house St. Patrick's day isn't really about St. Patrick bringing Christianity to Ireland, we use it as an excuse to reminisce about have incredible our trip there was as well as Irish heritage in our families.
I think they're just a little ridiculous and I don't really need to cut cake, break a pinata, or release balloons to find out if my child will be a boy or a girl.
I get that people like to make it special instead of just hearing it from some sonographer or doctor... and some people are too impatient to wait. But I went to my first reveal party this weekend for BIL/SIL, and I'm still not a fan.
This has got to be the dumbest baby trend right now. I just don't get it. I found out M's sex when I was by myself having a sonogram done. NBD.
+1 for reveals being gag worthy. Worse is when you need to post eleventy million pictures of each freaking stage of the reveal (omg here's the cake, OMG here's the knife we will cut it with, OMG OMG here we are cutting it, OOOOMMGGG it's....) to social media.
I think part of this is pinterest and social media making people think they need to make an occasion out of everything.

I don't know anyone who celebrates St. Patrick's Day or Valentines Day for religious reasons...

Had one & loved it. It was fun for our immediate families and we did it on a holiday (New Years Day) when we all would have been getting together anyway.
Did I neeeeed it? No. Will I do it again for the next one? You betcha.
On the boy vs girl thing I totally wanted a girl before I found out. Now I can't imagine anything but my boy, to the point that I think if our next is a girl we might have to have three kids because I'm not sure I can handle not getting another baby boy. But then I think I need a girl to.
Of course most of this is tongue in cheek and I'm sure I'll be happy with any other babies we get, regardless of sex but I did have a preference before LO was born.

I always tease my H about this...I would love 4 kids and he'd be happy with 2. He would also love to have a boy so I always ask him what he would want to do if we had another girl next;) We both will be happy no matter the sex of any of our children, but it's fun to daydream about what the future might hold:)
Joolschweets, I can't even count how many posts I've gone back and deleted before posting because I worry someone will misinterpret what I wrote. It's hard to tell if people are being serious or sarcastic online.
mrsmonogrammed, FFC? As insane as I know twins would be I totally day dream about a set of boy/girl twins because I know there is no other way we'd have three. DH is very sure on the two kids thing and as much as I'd love another boy and a girl I totally see all of the practical sides of his arguments.
I just meant that those holidays have become more about the traditions - giving valentines, making Irish food, etc. rather than religion. To think it's odd for people to celebrate them without religious reasons is silly to me.
Right. This would be like if we all just got together on the 4th of July and didn't celebrate Independence Day, and instead just said it's just a day that everyone celebrates, not a holiday about the United States. St. Patrick's day and St. Valentine's day are literally feast days made up by the Catholic church. The fact that anyone besides Catholics celebrate either is just odd to me.
Also, would attend mrsmonogrammed gender reveal party because fried chicken.
They're from a local place that's been on Diners Drive-Ins and Dives that is famous for their chicken chunks....they are seriously so freaking good! Expensive, but so damn good. Had to get a few since it was a small party and holiday so I could justify it;)

I love watching Diners, Drive-ins and Dives! UO?
H and I watched it for like 2 hours last night.
I enjoy everything about that show except his hairstyle. #distracting
+1 on leggings being workout wear but that might just be because when I try to wear them my legs look like fat little sausages so it might be a jealousy thing.

Lolol you girls are funny. I'm very proud of you for drinking out of a monogrammed cup (and a mason jar? Be still my heart;)) Kristykristyleelee
Will you love me even more if I tell you that DW & I have matching monogrammed mason jars with our initials & MRS on it??? They are very cute. They don't have bows, but they do have beautiful script all over them.
veggiemo , what about Punked? Did you ever watch that? I used to love that show
I am not getting notifications today. I never do on Tapatalk but usually on desktop I do.
Anyway... I have laughed at that show here and there. Not sure why that's different? Maybe because it's usually a quick thing, not some drawn out prank that lasts several minutes? I think it's the ongoing pushing of the prank that makes me dislike it and I start to get anxious. Either way it's still mean!
Wow my mind is blown right now reading this thread. No idea why I thought mrsmonogrammed was about mammograms. Like I just thought you were a mammographer. Maybe this should be under fffc tomorrow so I don't get flamed too bad lol

Oh another. I'm not going to let C miss school just so I can take him out to breakfast. (Brought to you by a friend who has done this with her oldest 2 children several times this year. And proceeded to post it all over Facebook) Cole won't be missing school to go on a week long vacation either. Grandma and grandpa are already planning a trip to Disney when he's older- that sh!+ better be a summer vacation or over spring break.

Maybe you and hubby should take a new profile pic in front of a mammogram machine.
