March 2017 Spreadsheet

***Edit to add: Please introduce yourself in our INTRO & EDD thread prior to adding yourself to our spreadsheet. Everyone is welcome, but we'd like to know who you are***

Copied & pasted from the other thread because I'm lazy ...

This is this link to what I've started so far in terms of a spreadsheet. I swiped the headings from February '17. There is a TW in the last column of the spreadsheet in the form of other children. This column was moved to the end so that it can be more easily avoided.

Let me know if there's anything we should put in addition to what's there, if it doesn't work for some reason, or if you're unable to add/edit content. I can add on any further information as needed, just comment below!

Thank you! My user name is now Rosy red. Not sure how long it will take to show up when I post. So it was jend83. In case I confuse anyone.

I was wondering if we could change the spreadsheet a little.  The column for children is a tough one for some of us who have had losses. I put "none living" in my column since my baby didn't make it, but as it stands, I'm not 100% comfortable with the format. My loss is still pretty fresh, and as excited as I am for this baby, my heart aches for the one I will never get to hold.  

Skyjewell23

@jdmrs I am so sorry for your loss. Would you like us to change the wording to siblings or maybe earth side children? Or maybe add a column for losses? (or would that be to much?).

Let me know how best to go about it

Scarlett830

We can definitely figure something out as far as changing or rewording the spreadsheet! I used F17 as a reference but want everyone to feel comfortable. Losses are devastating, and I don't want something like this to cause even more heartache than you've already experienced!

@Scarlett830 and @Skyjewell23 On my former BMB (O16) we had name, Team & Single/twins/Trips. I really thought about this before I brought it up. For me, it was just a brief sting, but I know a lot of women from TTCAL and the Miscarriage boards who might have a much harder time. Maybe adding a TW to give PGAL ladies a heads up that there is a column for # of siblings for our little beans. It's a delicate situation and one that I wouldn't have really appreciated until now. 

Scarlett830

How about if we add the TW and move the column to the end of the spreadsheet so it can be ignored a bit easier? Would that work? And we can also add a column for singletons/twins/or more.

JDMRS

@Scarlett830 I think that should work out well. I appreciate it!

Scarlett830

Done, my dear!

This is great, thanks so much!

This is fantastic. Thanks for already having me in there, overachiever.

I changed my screenname because it was 13 years old and driving me crazy - went from JillDSoonToBeG to JAGinMI.

Scarlett830

Sounds good @JAGinMI!

As an aside -- does anyone else see "anonymous animals" randomly interspersed on the spreadsheet? They showed up today when I view it. First it said Anonymous Ibex in one of the cells, which now changed to Anonymous Llama. And Anonymous Bat is on there too. So weird and random, and I can't figure out how it happened or how to fix it.

@Scarlett830 Yes! I saw "anonymous dingo" and "anonymous giraffe" earlier today. Now I see "anonymous wolf." I was wondering what that meant too...

That just means someone is viewing the spreadsheet at the same time as you, and doesn't have their e-mail set to public (so instead of saying my full name there, like it would if I was working on a sheet with my co-workers on a work document, it says "anonymous [animal]"). If you saw it on a cell, it means that person's cursor was currently clicked on that cell. They should also show up in the upper right-hand corner until they close the Sheet in their browser. 

Scarlett830

Thanks for that @EnglishTeacherMama! I never would've figured that out!

EnglishTeacherMama

@Scarlett830 You're welcome! My students have Chromebooks at school and when they're working in groups on Google Docs, they love to see which anonymous animal they are. It's all randomized, but mythical creatures like dragons and unicorns show up too, and they get so excited when they're one of those (p.s. we're talking high school students here, not even little kids, hahaha).

Updating our spreadsheet and don't have EDDs for @ErinSmith125, @dannigurl87, @jessdarconte,  @KellyT24, @msirni0, @RachelO1028, @tricia.paul, and @Turtle15SW.

Mine is March 8! I forgot to include it in my introduced but went back later and edited it. Thanks!

I think I would like to wait until my appt on 8/1 to add an edd, I ovulated late, tested positive late and I don't want to freak if my edd ends up being later than the charts say:) For now I am just excited to be on the board.

I'm very new to all of this. What does "team" mean?

Team means either pink, blue, or green. It's too early to know what sex your baby will be, but as we find out we'll update the spreadsheet. If you choose not to find out your baby's sex, then you're considered team green.

If anyone is at all good with this stuff (I am not, unfortunately ) how about adding a page or two that would cover stuff like recommended apps, books, which vitamins everyone is using, diagnoses, etc. so that it's easier to find some of the data? Especially when you don't remember enough to come up with effective search terms. I would do it if I knew how!

Scarlett830

Can we add different pages? I only know the basics of the Sheets app, but I can for sure add extra columns with headings like Favorite Apps, High Risk Diagnosis, and Prenatal Vitamins. I won't be able to update everything until DS is in bed though. How's that sound @Kiki75?

kiki75

Fabulous! Thank you!!

For anyone interested, I was lurking the Reddit Baby Bumps page earlier this year and they already have a huge spreadsheet https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q9xq-e0u3zPlgIHwhsa9MgzDDAemzFt3i8mLXJqAfK8/edit?usp=sharing  of random advice and recommended products... I still want to talk about this stuff in our March mamas group, but plan to reference this spreadsheet since it exists.

Scarlett830

Omg that is fantastic @EnglishTeacherMama! Thanks for sharing!

@Scarlett830 My due date changed to 3/1/2017. Could you please update?
