Ask your questions here, friends!
Here's Mine:
So, first of all, I apologize for the obnoxiously large picture of my "baby" who is now five that was in my signature. I figured out how to delete that out. From what I can tell, the trend now is to have your signature in a spoiler. Anyone want to try to tell me how to do that? I don't really need a signature, I guess, but it's sort on a nice quick look at each person. I like the "spoiler" though, since you don't see it every time forever and ever amen.
ETA: Thanks to some replies, I got it figured out!

Re: Weekly Question Thread week of 7/14
Anyway, to add a spoiler, highlight what you want in it and then click on the thin that looks like the backwards P to the left of the emojis--choose "spoiler" from the drop down and, voila! I hope this helps!
I actually think there is a weekly randoms thread. I just didn't think to post there. The board organization things wasn't a thing when I was on Dec. 13. I'll delete this post and repost in weekly randoms, I suppose.

STM+ are double strollers worth it with a toddler who will be 3 when baby is born? Part of me is thinking that I’ll just wear baby and toddler can ride or toddler can walk while baby rides but idk 🤷🏻♀️. The double stroller I want is just so expensive (bob dualie).
Another question: can you have a second Amazon baby registry for the completion discount and if so how? I’m not planning on having a shower this time but I’d love the 10 or 15% off some big items we need (double stroller if we decide to, new video monitor, etc...)

DS is 2 and I keep him in the stroller so often I cannot imagine it’ll be much different in 9 months. Plus he’s like a turtle if I let him walk and nobody has time for that. Also I’d probably need a leash for that kid and that’s also something I’m not willing to do. 😂
I haven’t done any research on double strollers, but the only stroller I use now is a Bob and I don’t want to go with anything else. So I’ll probably look at some local thrift stores in the next few months.

In my opinion, you need a double stroller for any kids 5 and under. My 4 year old still rides in the double a lot: on walks, at the mall, at amusement parks, etc.
The options for an infant-inclusive double suck. I had a Graco infant seat so bought a Graco click connect tandem double and dealt with it. But as soon as baby can hold their neck up independently, I highly recommend the Joovy Scooter side by side. It’s about $200 on amazon so a pretty good price comparatively, and it works great. Great storage, awning, pockets, travels well and durable.
@keeksie84 I’m like @stassischroeder and too nervous to buy anything yet… but you better believe I’ll be buying all the things for myself and already born kids today (work is boring this afternoon). Let us know f you find any great deals! Also I said this in another post, but my double strollers are my LIFE! I love love love them and strongly recommend both the Bob Duali and City Jogger City Select with Second Seat attachment!
@varimama YES it is worth it. That Duali is the best purchase I made before my second was born. Sometimes, I just need to walk. Pop DD in there with or without the ipad, pop the baby in to nap and off I go for a 3-5 mile walk with the dog. I also run with it!
@miss.sally LOL little turtle!!! I can relate.

@stassischroeder it only works some of the time for me!! Like less than half the time.
I asked this in the weekly thread but maybe this is a better place. Can symptoms come and go? My boobs were on fire three days ago; today I feel fine. I feel completely normal, in fact, except mildly tender breasts. It makes me nervous (I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow).

I personally won't be ready to move to Facebook for a long time, and think when it's about time for babies to arrive, is the best time. By then, it'll be more clear who is here to support others. My other BMB also apparently had a "shit talkers" group, who would basically have side chats about things said inside the group, which really pisses me off, since I tell them everything. I'm not here for that sh*t.
I also don't feel comfortable sharing my actual identity and pictures of my family and whatnot, until I really feel like I know you and trust you.

Edited because I forgot how calendars work, lol.
I am not at all suggesting a move now...we definitely waited until middle/late second tri last time and I liked that. But I’m happy seeing what others want to do. I’m not super public on FB so honestly there’s nothing I’d be hiding there really. But I know not everyone is like that.
