Gosh, I'm very conflicted about this now. On one hand, FB is way easier to use, and I find it much easier to keep up in small doses there than here. And I very much don't want to lose access to this group. But on the other hand, I try to stay very anonymous here - and while my FB is fairly locked down, FB in general is far from anonymous. And you're making me decide so early!

I won the name battle but now I’m worried it doesn’t flow 😂 Do both Hudson James and Grayson James flow okay? Or does one of the two not really flow well? I don’t want to admit this to DH or he’ll take back my win... so I’m asking everyone else 😂
What a day to miss on this thread - I was slammed at work doing covid contingency planning. Yeesh.
I'm neutral on the move to FB - I actually don't use it that much but I can definitely adjust (I mean I never used TB before becoming pregnant!) That said I love the group of admins @blaf322@stlbuckeye132 and @modoodles ❤️
@blaf322@stlbuckeye132@modoodles welp I missed the boat on that one! I always leave the post with the most notifications for last, so I deserve it. I got to the posts about the third being me or @modoodles and was going to comment that we need some sort of rock, paper, scissors app... and then I saw that there was a whole 'nother page of new posts
Well I couldn't be happier with the admin selection, bring on the vetting process! Bye bye Bump app!
I like the admin choices already. Just let me know what I need to do to join
Off topic: I’m hoping it’s hormones but has anyone had a dark freckle show up on their face randomly? At first it was just one on the side of my nose. It’s flat and small but definitely wasn’t there or at least as dark before and now I have a second one on the top. I really don’t want to have to schedule a doctors appointment with all that’s going on but it’s really strange they showed up unless it’s just hormones. Thought I’d see if anyone else had an experience like it.
sitting at my in laws for a few hours listening to the grandma cough frequently. Guess she’s been having a horrible cough for weeks and weeks now. Yet won’t go to the doc to make sure it’s nothing and got upset when my BIL kept saying she should go.
Hello... yet you want Your pregnant daughter in law to come over often. 😷 okay.
Thanks for the name input, y’all! Re: FB, if everyone who wants to join wants to PM an admin their email address, I’ll work to get the page up and we’ll start adding folks. @modoodles and @stlbuckeye132 also PM me your email addresses so I can get you added as admins!
@JessDG how common Grayson is becoming is part of why I wanted Hudson more. They’re both common names, but I think Grayson is more common
I just realized I forgot the check in and product spotlight posts yesterday. I have an OB appt in about an hour, but I’ll get those up when I’m back in office
Ok about the pm's... because I've never done this before and I'm paranoid lol. So I go to @blaf322 's profile, and click "message" in the top right corner? I just got nervous because I'm including my personal email address and it says "post message" as opposed to "send message" and I was like wait is this going to show up somewhere public??? Help a newbie out!
@meanjellybean yep, that's all you do! I just tested it by sending a PM to you. So now you have one. Oh! One thing I just realized - it needs to be the email address associated with your facebook profile. (Not sure if I'm the only one using a super old email with their fb page still...)
Working from home with a 2 year old... I just called in for a meeting and have the phone on speakerphone so I don't have to hold it up to my ear the whole time. She won't stop saying, "Hi, Dada!! Hi, Dada! Hi, gramma!!" This should be interesting when I have to unmute myself to speak.
@stlbuckeye132 hahaha well hopefully folks will understand, given the circumstances. I had to take a call for work on Sunday afternoon when DD was watching Sesame Street and so the person got an earful about Cookie Monster and Elmo. Luckily the person I was on the phone with has 4 year old twins that she was also occasionally interrupted by
whooops! Sorry y'all! I'm, clearly, not on my A game this week. I swear I usually have my shit way more together I'm just getting into work, I'll be in touch about next steps in a bit.
Oops I just sent my email to her before seeing that other message. Sorry @blaf322!
I have my 20 week scan today (really 21 weeks). I’m so excited to see her but so disappointed because I just saw they aren’t letting anyone but patients in the building and DH and the girls were looking forward to seeing her as well I mean I get they’re trying to keep us all safe it’s just sad. We haven’t had any cases in our city yet but I also know how long you can have it before knowing so again I still get the caution just was sad to hear they couldn’t come!
@hbird0723 no worries! The intent in pausing everything is to save you guys an extra step if it's not needed. It doesn't bother me to have the message sitting there
I'm sorry your fam can't come with you to the US. Maybe you can video it for them? I know they don't allow that, often... but maybe they could make an exception, given the circumstances?
I added my current email address, you can do it under settings. I don’t have access to my college email address anymore / can’t remember the password or any of the info required to be able to change it 😂
Thanks ladies! I’m going to ask if I can video but I guess at least they give you pictures. He’s pretty disappointed too and thankfully he’s working from home so he can be here with the girls until my MIL gets here.
FYI- the other admins and I are discussing a few details so things aren't so back and forth for all of you. We'll be in touch about next steps for the FB group soon! Just didn't want you to think nothing was happening
Surprisingly my online school orientation has been very informative. But spending all day in the office chair I can’t handle. I’m gonna fall asleep. And I have to readjust my position every five minutes (tomorrow I may try sitting in the nursery recliner instead 😂)
@nursejenn5 we’ve been pretty slow at work since a lot of outpatients are cancelling and people are avoiding the ER (mostly). So lots of time in the office chair the last couple of days. I have a backache and I’m so sleepy by the end of the day just from so much sitting!
Random but I feel like I’m clenching my abs all day long. Not meaning to, but then I realize I’m like tightening them? I assume because I’ve been so used to sucking in for so long or something. I’m not sure if this is a bad thing or not. There are so many things I don’t know about my abs / pelvic floor/ core during pregnancy and post partum it kind of frightens me.
@b_1029 my very, very limited knowledge of pelvic floor/core muscles is that even breathing wrong as you use those muscles can screw with your pelvic floor strength, especially in pregnancy/postpartum!
@b_1029 I catch myself doing it when pictures are being taken. I did it more with my first pregnancy too. It's so funny how hard habits like that are to break.
