This panda baby is making me want another kid.

[progmom]

What the hell is wrong with me? :shrug:

[MissMillie]

1. really?

It's making me wish I were a panda... :shrug:

(Wouldn't it be nice if the only thing you were expected to do all day were to lay around the house w/ the kids....?)

[progmom]

3. well, that would be my first choice

:hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. You mean, we're supposed to be doing something else?

:shrug:


MissMillie!!!! I've missed you! :hug:

[MissMillie]

13. I was on vacation last week

and didn't spend much time online.

I guess I've (sort of...) become a grandmother. The young man I took in... his ex-girlfriend had their baby. They were going to give it up for adoption, but she changed her mind.

So.... I'm a Memere at 41. Wow.

[ScreamingMeemie]

2. The same thing that is wrong with me.

Newborn babyness, even in animals, sets off that craving.

Good thing MrG took care of that or we would have our own little sweatshop here. ;)

[progmom]

6. see...newborn babies just make me glad mine is older now

but this newborn panda...watching that mother with him.

sigh.........

[stellanoir]

5. Welp

bare in mind you might be invoking a two toned furry one.

But go for it.

[Taverner]

7. Don't give in !!!

It's a plot I tell ya!!!

[progmom]

9. and Mrs Grumpy is leading the charge

:shrug: what does she have to gain from this?

[Taverner]

14. Parenthood is a virus

It spreads and it takes 18 years to get over all of teh symptoms.

Symptoms include (but are not limited to)

- Sleeplessness
- nausea
- panic attacks
- Lethargy
- Fatigue
- Financial discharge

[progmom]

yeah, but you also get

love.

:)

[Taverner]

19. What is this "luv" thing you speak of earthling?

I do not understand this word "luv"

[progmom]

22. i think you spelled it wrong

:shrug:


plus...i think you know what it is. ;)

[Taverner]

26. True true, Nate gives back love

But after #2 I am gonna get neutered.

#2 is due in 6 months...

[progmom]

really??

i missed this news. mazel tov! :hug:

[Taverner]

31. I just fear it will end up tearing out my espohgas

We watched "it's alive" last night...

[progmom]

33. having never seen this movie...

i don't know what you're referring to...but i must ask...are you carrying this child? i thought for sure you were a man. :shrug:

[Taverner]

35. Nahhhh....It's Alive is a cheesy 80's horror movie

About a baby that is actually a demon, and goes around killing people.

It's funny in a campy sort of way, but like many classic horror movies, it's an allegory about the fears of new parents.


Oh and I'm pretty sure I'm a guy - but I would carry this one if I could.

[progmom]

36. ahhhh...

and yes...the fears never stop for the new parents, do they? :shrug:

[MissMillie]

15. I beg to differ

you NEVER get over ALL of the symptoms.

[havocmom]

8. Go volunteer at a pre-school for a few days.

That'll take care of it ;) <--- unapproved smilie

[progmom]

10. ha

:hi:

[WCGreen]

11. Panda envy, I suppose.......

:shrug:

Okay, just this once I will go along with the Program.....

[progmom]

21. i appreciate you going along with the progmom program

now there will be no need for a pogrom.

what....? :shrug:

[sundog]

12. i wonder why

:shrug:

[progmom]

24. yeah...me too

:shrug:

[sundog]

45. does the panda make you want to have a human baby or adopt a panda?

:shrug:

[progmom]

46. it just brings up a lot of non-specific maternal feelings

:shrug:

[merh]

16. You read your personality test results!

You are nuturing. Of course, you relate to this nuturing momma!

:hug:

[progmom]

23. she's just so gentle and loving with him

sigh......

[merh]

27. As you are with progspawn - when he let's you.

Just don't use him for a pillow the way momma panda does her little one. He squirms and squeals when she does that! :silly:

:hug:

[progmom]

29. yeah - he uses me as a pillow

this morning i woke up to discover that he had climbed into bed with us, and had curled up at my feet. :loveya:

[merh]

32. How sweet!

:loveya: I betcha he is glad to be home too! His little unit is back in place!

:loveya:

[mike_c]

17. first you'll need to find a willing male panda....

I've heard they can be pretty rough, so you might want to develop some calluses in weird places first, too.

[progmom]

20. .

:spray:

[Misunderestimator]

18. Oh geeeeeez....

:shrug:

[progmom]

25. you got a problem with this?

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

28. no.. just an opportunity to use the official smilie...

:shrug:

[progmom]

30. you couldn't fine a less antagonistic use for it?

:shrug:

[Misunderestimator]

37. Hahahaha

:rofl: :loveya:

[progmom]

38. oh great, and now you abandon it altogether

you're not really a team player, are you? :shrug:


(:loveya:)

[Misunderestimator]

39. Moi?

Or should I say... Mwah?

:)

[progmom]

43. works for me either way

:shrug:


:)

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. There was no Vote on that smiley!!!!

x(

[LynneSin]

40. So will you have a progmom cam that will show you 24x7 with your new kid?

:shrug:

[progmom]

41. i don't even think i really want a new kid

let alone a cam.

:)

[LynneSin]

44. you're just going to steal someone elses kid...

...like a black/white furry kid currently found in DC.

Oh progmom, don't let MrsGrumpy lead you into a life of shame through a life of crime.

I have your flight information - I'm going to make sure they search your luggage thoroughly for stowaway panda bears!

[billyskank]

42. Dunno. Maybe the time is right

for a progspawn II? I am not advocating such a thing. But nor am I saying such a thing should not be done either. Who can say? :shrug:

[1gobluedem]

47. But there is no guarantee that you'll have a panda...

Welcome back!

[progmom]

49. thanks, M!

it's nice to be home. :)

[gmoney]

48. How about a new ProgDog?

I'm sure there's a little black & white puppy down at the shelter who'd be happy to feed your maternal needs...

[CaliforniaPeggy]

50. I am quite sure, my dear progmom, that there is NOTHING wrong

with you...

I suspect that your biological clock is telling you it's time for another baby!

After all, progspawn is what, 3 or 4 now...it's time! At least your body thinks so....

I remember, after my second daughter was born, I being in this state. My husband and I had agreed that two kids would be enough...but my body made me nuts over wanting another child...

And, no, we didn't have any more...But for many years I had a dream that occured at least once a year where I was having a baby...usually a boy, too...

I've pretty much stopped having those dreams now...about time!

:loveya:

[Placebo]

51. is that genetically possible?

you...a panda baby?

would it be called progpand? :silly:

[progmom]

52. you know...

i think it was you who coined the term "progspawn". :loveya:

[billyskank]

53. I laughed my arse off when I first saw that!

progspawn....snarf! :spray:
