Thursday PIP

Since I rarely get on here from work nowadays - I'm starting this early. Well, to be honest, its also because I am excited to have a new ultrasound pic and a 20 week belly! :D

  • Great pic! My wife would love that shirt.

    So I'm trying to post a pic, but I'm having all kinds of problems. Just getting a red "x". I read a previous post that suggested using a facebook photo, right clicking and choosing "Copy Image Location". I can't find "Copy Image Location" on any right click menu. I can see "Copy" and sometimes "Copy Shortcut" but neither of those work. Any tips?

    Thanks for your help!

  • Thank you Manada!

    2moms2babies - I use photobucket. Its really easy to set up the account. Once you've uploaded the photo you can edit it if you want to, and then there is an image code that you can paste straight into the text window on the bump.

    I haven't had success with Facebook photos - but that's just me.

    I got the top from A Pea in The Pod on their half price sale - I bet they'd still have some! :)

  • clairmeij - such a cute bump! and I love the new u/s pic.

    I also use photobucket for uploads from my phone as it is easiest.  If there is a pic on Facebook you want to share you can click the pic to open it big.  Then right click on it and select copy image location.  Then come to the post here and click the tree image in the format bar.  Paste that location in the lop box.  Just a side note FB photos are huge when placing them here so I typically resize to 300x400 or 400 x 300 (it will keep the dimensions and not distort) depending on if its vertical or horizontal.  Then click insert.  It should show the picture in here before you post to ensure you have done it correctly.   You can also check to make sure the size is ok.

    Here are two pics from the boys first baths.  Sorry I haven't been on much but we have had a rough few days dealing with thrush (thank you antibiotics given to me at delivery)!

    That is Jake and he loves the bath

    image 

    This is Sam and he thinks it is cruel and unusual punishment

    And here is a bonus pic of them together right after we got home.

    I hope everyone is doing well with everything and I plan to try to get back into the swing of things next week with the weekly posts.

  • I love all these pictures! The twins are gorgeous! The only1leia...priceless!

    Here is a picture of one of the places we went backpacking last fall. I miss hiking and backpacking and can't wait to get back on the trail. This was taken in at Shingle Mill Pathway in Michigan. It was one of the most stunning sites (aside from my wife!) I experienced while on the trail.

    Very possibly tears.  We were both waiting for the stick together and hugged for a while after the result, then we went into the bedroom and I told her to hold the stick up.  Extremely happy I did, this is one of my absolute favorite pictures.
