I second this! I think little bits of color can look really cute if done tastefully. :)

This scares me. :( We won't have kids for another few years yet but I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever feel 100% prepared for 9 months of apparent hell.

Jeez, I leave for two days and we get yelled at, Steve's dying, threads are getting deleted... :lol: I miss all the fun.

Apparently you better not leave us or we go to heII in a hand basket. I didn't realize my rant over a guy who is constantly posting misinformation as fact was going to get us in trouble. I even avoided naming him. I guess posting the thread link made it pretty obvious who he was though.

BTW having been around pregnant women only 7 to 8 months are heII

Man, I always miss the good gossip! :lol:

Hubby has been talking avidly of children lately, making me think he's warming up to the idea of having kids a bit sooner than we'd planned. I'm happy he's excited to be a dad, but ehh... I still feel a bit apprehensive myself. At least, at this point in time. But, we're young still. :) There's time.

I am seriously tired today. I feel an 8:30 bedtime coming on. :P

USC who lived in Manabí, Ecuador with hubby from 2009 - 2013. Hubby became a naturalized American citizen in August 2016. Currently living together in northern Virginia.

That said.. this snow can frak off now. It made Amy an hour late to work. In her own words "I couldn't tell the roads from parking lots". So she'll be home at nearly 1am now, I reckon.

Hm. Seems there's a crackdown in progress in the name of "keeping a family atmosphere". Or at least that's my take on it at the moment based on what has been said in other threads.

Sure appears to be. I'd be happier if the moderator group came out and made a statement though. As it appears a lot of what used to be normal forum bickering is getting moderated out lately. they need to do what they need to do of course, I just would feel more comfortable being clear about they current path being chosen. For all I know, some things might have been getting a bit crazy and I just wasn't watching those threads???

This scares me. sad.png We won't have kids for another few years yet but I'm starting to wonder if I'll ever feel 100% prepared for 9 months of apparent hell.

My first 4 pregnancy were supper easy no issues at all. The last two I think are more do to my food allergies and intolerance, the heart burn is terrible but the babies with a full head of hair are worth it.

5. i'm with sasquatch on the "apparent hell" bit of having kids, don't want to have my girl parts torn up while squeezing a baby out no way.

It's not really that bad, a bit of exercise and all the lady bits go back to normal.
