Moms for Moms: End the Mommy Wars

(33 & 35 weeks)
There's a campaign traveling the inter-webs about ending the "Mommy Wars"; it's basically mommies being mean girls except there's more serious topics than only wearing pink on Wednesdays. The wars stem from post-baby bodies, feeding methods, choice of diapers and many more that make each of us judge one another's parenting style in a negative stance.

I still want this though...

The first article we read about these mommy wars was from this site and then I came upon The Bump's post about March 4th being an official event to support each other and end the mommy wars. So, we're participating by showing our #moms4moms photo and posting throughout social media! Since my best friend is pregnant too, as you all know (if not, see this original post), we made our own End the Mommy Wars pregnancy choices. Although we only made one, we have quite a few judging wars that could be had because it feels like every choice we make for our new little families seem to be opposite; birthing choice, baby products, religion, politics, neighborhood, beer, hair color... the list can go on. I'm still not sure how we've managed to remain friends all these years seeing as how opposite we are, I must attract those types :) But, we learn from each other and realize the petty choices in life are useless stresses as long as you have a trusted confidant that's there for you when you're happy or sad. 

Another one of our 'wars' is finding out the sex of our mini's; I needed to know and Megan chose to wait. Since she's waiting she started a baby pool so people can bet and win half the pot on guessing the date, time and gender of her little arrival. How fun! You can even suggest baby names since they haven't chosen one yet. Slackers. We did. Just kidding :) See... our war list could go on forever!

Here are the fun photos to see how different we look during the same week. My last post that showed our comparative weeks ended on week 19 so here's 20 - 32!
