Another month, but honestly, this baby story is getting on my nerves.

At least Ridge seems to have a brain with this, asking questions. I think it's ridiculous that Steffy is adopting a baby to give Kelly a sister like she had with Phoebe. 

I hope Taylor, Reese, Florence, Steffy and others get arrested for baby selling. Surely Carter who is an all around lawyer must know what they are doing is not legal.

$250k for a baby is rather steep. I think most legal adoptions are more like $30-50k. No one questioned the amount of the sale?

@jenagal - good to see you posting here again!

@lainey1  '  I could be wrong but since the money was given directly to the doctor ,I don't think Carter was aware of the money involved and there is such a thing as private adoption.  The money often is for expenses of the mother and that ican be worked out between the parties and not their lawyers.  

I sure hope this baby thing will resolve itself quickly and not wait for years and then do the illness thing where blood is needed like they always do.

[jenagal]

Thx Lainey.  I sure appreciate the spoilers you give us.  

It sounds like the next few weeks are going to be really interesting.

Another Thomas?

I think this will be the 3rd, maybe 4th one since I am watching.

Wonder if he will want Sally back.

More beefcake maybe, last one was shirtless most of the time.

I’m wondering will there ever be a time that Hope will know she’s holding her baby instead of holding Steffy’s?  I don’t know where they are going with this.  I hope the truth comes out and she gets her Beth back.  Anyone read any spoilers about this? TIA.

I think Zoey will happen upon some sort of evidence of wrongdoing on her father's part.  This will lead to the discovery of Beth being alive.

Yes, they kept focusing on the baby wipes the other day. So dumb. Like people

that shop in the same stores can't buy the same brand of wipes, diapers, etc.

 Just cause you have baby wipes doesn't mean that  you have to have a baby.

I get them for practically free, so I buy them, no babies in my house. 

Eventually Flo will talk. She has a price.

Let's see. Each day has been someone else goes to visit the new baby in

town. Liam, then Hope, Ridge, then Wyatt, Sally, then Brooke. Who's next?

Bill, Eric, Quinn? The mailman too! Surely he will bring a gift.

O.K. already, time to move on and focus on something else. Everything is the

baby every single day. Boring and silly.

This storyline is so boring. Have looked at sappy faced Liam all month, & Hope bawling all the time. The entire town is mourning over this at every turn! C'MON people move on. I also find it interesting that 250K is "no object" & that they all have loads of money but nobody ever works!! It's hilarious...wish we could all find jobs like that!

[threecees]

Sitting here watching thinking the show should be renamed to

THE BORING AND THE BABIES.

Wyatt and Sally do nothing but kiss and roll around in bed,

contemplate having babies.Sally came back to do nothing.

Same with Donna.

Seems like everything in L.A. has shut down due to Phoebe's arrival.

Steffy folds baby clothes just about everyday.

Kelly's sleeping, Phoebe's sleeping, Kelly and Phoebe look so much alike,

Phoebe's crying, Kelly's crying, Kelly and Phoebe will share the same clothes,

they will grow up together and be so, so, so, so, so,so happy together!!! 

This is feeling like a Lifetime movie with Hope intruding everyday.

Steffy is going to have to lock her doors.
