Just lurked in June..... Good stuff.  I love drama that is not our own!!!

Just so you know, you all can tell me that you told me so! Don't worry! We're not giving up the dog at all, and don't think we could even if we wanted to, but we don't. We all love her very much and she's totally part of the family! 
Despite having many raw hides and chew toys, we're down: one dog bed, one flip flop, one pair of sandals, two bike seats, and numerous other toys that the kids leave outside, so those are fair game for the dog! It's actually kinda handy because we've been telling the children to not leave toys and shoes outside all over the place, to no avail. Hopefully, they'll learn, which still seems like a long shot! 

In other breaking news, H cleaned the floors in the basement last night  the cat had pooped on the floor and I was obviously leery to clean it up so it's been down there for awhile and DH cleaned it up! There's this spray I found that works wonders on spots and he ordered another gallon jug of the stuff. It's a miracle because he hates cats. And since this one pooped on the floor, he really hates this cat. He knows I love my cat so he tolerates it for my sake, but usually has nothing to do with it. I'm just so proud of him that he did it!

I agree with @estellegetty. I think the best time to move to FB is after a few babies are born, probably end of September. MOTN check ins are so much easier on FB than TB!!

bel194

@estellegetty totally! I feel like I would be way more active on facebook.  Also I feel weird about posting pictures on the internet that anyone can see, but on a closed group I wouldn't mind as much. 

coffee-saur

And just in case anyone wonders, I wasn't mad in the least with the dog. DH came home after she'd shredded her bed and was all did you see what the dog did, I just kinda rolled my eyes at him and was like yea I saw... Just a puppy being a puppy...   I just thought y'all might get a kick out of it!

@bel194. FYI, Facebook can sell your pictures, even if you post them in a closed group. It happened to a local twin mom and she only found out because she saw it in the paper that it was sold to. It’s in their user agreement, but most people don’t realize it.

DunkinDecaf

@estellegetty definitely agree. I’m kinda hoping we’ll move around July-August bc I want to share new baby pictures with you guys and I’m not posting them here.

pumpkinpancake

@DunkinDecaf idk, but July or even August still
seems kind of early for FB to me. I’d be happy with September, but will go with the flow. I’d hate for the board to die down in only a couple months!

I mean, we don’t have to decide now. We’ll see how the group looks later. It does seem ridiculous that we’re almost halfway through. Now that I’m not constantly sick time is flying.

pumpkinpancake

@DunkinDecaf I know, I can’t believe how quickly time is going this time! It doesn’t feel like I’m only a couple weeks away from the halfway point! (Or already kind of halfway, since I was 3 weeks early last time and may be early again!) 

sammierose464

I was just saying that to DH today. It's crazy to think I'm almost 18 weeks!

I'm sorry, I hadn't been posting much and I've been trying to catch up.  So here is my random for the day. 

I went out with a coworker today on my lunch break, she wanted to go to a Michael's so we went to a shopping center with a BRU.  I was so excited when I saw the sign had 30-50% off everything (I've been keeping my eye on them but it had only been 15% so far).

And then what a bummer, the power in the whole shopping mall was out and all of the stores were closed.  What a tease!  I'm going back tomorrow.

estellegetty

@purplegoldfish2 The Bump can sell and post your pictures without your knowledge as well.  

purplegoldfish2

@estellegetty hmm.. didn’t know that, although posting things on an open Internet forum invites anybody to take them I suppose.  I’ve seen people posting pics in closed groups on Facebook and specifically say they only did it because it was a “safe place since it’s a private group” and not have a clue that Facebook can sell that picture to anybody.  

DunkinDecaf

Mark Zuckerberg is a sneaky butthole. I’d save it for UO but I have a feeling it’s not such an unpopular opinion.

jynjer4

@DunkinDecaf Certainly NOT an UO!

estellegetty

@DunkinDecaf hahahahaha sneaky butthole. My new favorite put down. 

SawyerRichardson

I never thought I'd say this, but you guys are kind of making me want to create a FB just to join in the private group. I'd hate to lose touch with everyone! I guess we will see how much it dies down here once that happens.

DunkinDecaf

@SawyerRichardson I hope you do when the time comes!!!

sammierose464

@SawyerRichardson I was thinking of that yesterday. I know there's a few here who don't have or like fb, but you could always make an account that is only for joining our BMB. You technically don't even need to use your real name..

mytrueloves

TBH, I only have a Facebook for my various groups lol

krzyriver

I only use FB for my O16 group. I don't really check it other than that.

chopchop25

I don't use my FB anymore except to check for birthdays. Was going to delete it until I realized 1. I'd never know when anyone's birthday is, and 2. I'd want to hopefully stay with you ladies when we migrate

tinattt23

@mytrueloves Same. I only ever started logging back in because of D16. I still ignore my regular feed. 

mytrueloves

I use messenger a lot though because it's more convenient for me than regular messaging apps on my phone. But I no longer have family on my FB so I only use it for groups. One of which is DD's BMB.

mytrueloves

Do we have a baby shower thread going? I've got baby showers on the brain.

SawyerRichardson

@mytrueloves Not that I've seen. Feel free to start one!

nmadjeski

@mytrueloves I searched and didn't see anything. It's been on my mind as well. 

mytrueloves

Awesome, I'm gonna start one!

jomama1618

Ugh, I feel like a Zombie guys! We are alternating phenagran and zofran (and currently awaiting scolpamine patches) and any natural remedies possible to try to control this horrible HG. I haven't even taken the med for the muscle spasms because I'm so tired that I'm afraid I'll just fall asleep setting up lol. At my appt, we were up to 22lbs of weight loss in 4 weeks. Dr isn't impressed. He added he thinks there's a possible bladder infection, as well as still being severely dehydrated. Why is this time SO much harder than last time. Ok done whining now. Baby is great, so I'm thankful for a healthy baby at this point!

SawyerRichardson

So I finally remembered to run out and get some rainbow sherbet ice cream... But I get to Publix and their rainbow sherbet has pineapple in it! EWW. What happened to the traditional lime, orange, raspberry?! I ended up just getting orange sherbet and it will still be good. But I did seriously consider buying each flavor separately, I just couldn't carry them all.

I'm also sitting here waiting for my rice to cook for dinner wondering if it would be a terrible thing to have my ice cream while I wait.

DunkinDecaf

@jomama1618 ugh I’m so sorry. I hope you get some relief soon.

cdepperschmidt

@SawyerRichardson It’s totally okay to eat it while you wait!

mytrueloves

I had this sudden dull, achey, crampy sensation start up in my right abdomen, far away from my uterus. I Googled possible causes and all that came up was appendicitis! I know I shouldn't have Googled but now I'm freaking out because it says it's usually the first symptom and then more symptoms occur within a few hours afterward.

I'm trying not to *completely* freak out but this stupid pain won't go away.

sammierose464

I'm sorry you're still feeling so crappy @jomama1618 ! 

SawyerRichardson

@jomama1618 Ugh, I'm so sorry to here you are still feeling bad! I can't even imagine what that is like. Fingers crossed you find some relief soon!

nasalot188

@SawyerRichardson omg pineapple? Ew. Rainbow Serbet is my fave...u dont mess with that ish!

cjx95

@mytrueloves Dr. Google is not our friend lol hopefully it's just aches and pains from being pregnant!! 

pajamstagrams

@mytrueloves I had some weird crampy feels in my stomach yesterday, but it felt more like a stitch in my side. Except higher, because I presume that's where I'd feel it now that my uterus has displaced my organs. Pretty sure mine was because I ate too much for dinner and then tried to work out. Hopefully yours is nothing serious either!!
