For all us school ladies I need help. I have a few books that I have to buy this semester... what is a good site to purchase from?

I like amazon. They let you rent for even cheaper.

This. You can rent from Chegg too and compare prices. But I prefer Amazon because we have prime and I get my books in two days.

anyone have any experience with bru brand prefolds? the are bg150% right now and the price sounds too good to be true...

I rent on Chegg.com whenever possible

thanks I will look into that for the other 2. I can't seem to find any cheaper than getting them from school. 

I rent from Amazon or B&N.

It's 2 and I haven't thrown my head through a wall yet. Small win? Maybe.

I assume you mean the kind with soap and water, and I have the same issue.

thomas930

@pineconey haha yes, the wet ones 

Mamamonzo

Steroids to help the baby's lungs today and tomorrow. I haven't changed since the appt last week. They did some sort of swab to test for preterm labor and that's negative. No infections. So basically they said plan on contractions from here on out and I have to take the procardia like every 2 hours.

Edit: holy typos

Since I hate making new threads I'll just put this here. My SIL has been bugging me for weeks asking if I need anything for the baby and asking if I have this or this yet because if not she'll let me use hers. It got annoying so I finally gave in and said the only thing I really need are clothes so if I could borrow some from when my niece was small that'd be awesome. Well the other day she brought over a huge box of clothes but the majority of it is so heavily stained I'm not even going to use it. I did manage to find a good chunk of still decent looking things that I'll probably use.

What do I do with the leftover things though? Do I give them back to her now (she wants them back after the baby grows out of them anyways) or would that be rude? I don't really have storage space for all the passed up things either..

Ugh, that is so hard.  I would give the box back and say something like "thank you for ALL the options!  It was so much fun to go 'shopping' for her.  Here are the extra's back before I forget."  Someone offered for me to borrow clothes as well and I told them it would be too stressful to try to remember which are mine and which are theirs, so you are a saint.

I want chocolate cake.  And to be wearing sweats.  And to be home reading under a blanket instead of working.   /endofline

This. Sounds like heaven!  I want all of that right now.

Just got home from classes for the day. Settled down to watch Dr. Phil (shhh) and eating some chocolate ice cream. 18-year old guest who is 7 months pregnant - smokes cigarettes, marijuana and snorts cocaine. My heart breaks.

That's putting it mildly - my reaction was more along the lines of OMFG I WANT TO SHAKE SOME SENSE INTO HER!

Eija3014

Wow, moving has KILLED my RTT addiction! I can't wait to have free time again...

@mamamonzo hugs! I hope everything is ok

And I have one random thought: Lately I've been so jealous of all the things SO can do and I "can't" do. I think I'm just getting restless with being so good this entire pregnancy But the worst part is he's so oblivious to the fact that all I want is some empathy. He just mindlessly leaves me out of everything I "can't" do without any kind of compassion or consideration for how I feel. Or a damn "thank you" for carrying his child... I know it's petty and whiny, but it really bothers me!

I've had such a bad day and that's just one if the many things I'm upset about right now... Can you tell?? Haha

This one was on yesterday, can't wait to see the 2nd half today. She is a total freaking disaster. He confronted her on the cocaine use yesterday and I will quote her here "using once or twice doesn't mean I'm doing drugs." Ummm...actually that's exactly what it means.

pineconey

All I want is some NyQuil so I can actually get some rest. Every time I lay down my head fills with snot. Agh.

KatieGummow

Was playing with my belly earlier and someone kicked me back and I thought, "oh yeah, there are babies in there!"  I don't know what was going through my head at that moment.  I am going to be the mom that forgets to pick up her kids from school.

chichi589

@Kyllarae I think it shouldn't be expected for you to use all the clothes since you'll get some as gifts. I would just say that there was so many to choose from you picked your favorites and don't have much storage space at the moment but you'll let her know if there is anything else you need

@megla the dresser looks brand new!

@Mamamonzo sending some prayers your way, hopefully they can stop the contractions.

Twirple

@Mamamonzo hoping everything is OK and they can get the contractions stopped.  Big HUGS to you.

So last night, I was laying in bed thinking that I haven't felt LO move much.  He or she is usually active on and off through the day, and most active when I lay down and night.  Last night, nothing.  Just as I was getting concerned, I felt one big kick!  LO must have known I was worried and wanted to reassure me.  I laughed and baby and I went to sleep.

Good lord! What is with our children!?Hugs!!! Hope you get answers and that little booger is content staying inside for a bit longer!!

I need advice. I got my car fixed back in October but had to have it towed. I wasn't charged for the tow by accident. Well since the mechanic is my BILs friend he texted my BIL saying her forgot to charge me but isn't concerned because it was his fault. He obviously wants his money back or he wouldn't have brought it up 3 months later. Should I pay him or not?

Had the worst bathroom experience ever today. 1 hour of hell. Seriously. And then I had to go play a concert. Sitting on stage after that, NOT fun. My whole body hurts!!

@snmetz7 I hope your back pain is not labor, and that the pain itself goes away.
