    So I just had my shower. 3 people got me a diaper bag and removed the tags and packaging. I have no idea what to do since they're all unreturnable. Suggestions?
    Who removes the tags?? I can see not including a gift receipt...but ripping off the tags? That just seems completely unnecessary.....


    Re-gifted possibly?

    I'm working on my 'birth preferences' today! This is a big leap for me since I've been living in denial island about these kids coming out. So far all I have is my name and "get them out safely". That's good enough right?

    I'd recommend checking out some samples/templates online and seeing if anything pops out at you as important.  Particularly if you end up going the C-section route, there was a ton of stuff I didn't know was possible/optional or just didn't think about  before reading some of those (like who goes with baby, do you care if both of your arms are strapped down, etc.)

    Another word of caution on the aloe topic...if you plan on using store bought aloe, make sure you test it out first.  My sister ended up having a horrible allergic reaction to the blue aloe they sell in stores.

    thanks @ugabamafans‌ and @StrawberryDreams219‌ so far we have been snuggling all morning but I'm having trouble getting his fever to break. he is really uncomfortable and Tylenol isn't touching it. any advice other than lukewarm bath which we are getting ready to do? if it hasn't broken after lunch we will probably head to the pedi.

    @stephross88 when my kids had high fevers, the pedi told me we could use tylenol and ibuprofen (if he's old enough) together since they are different meds. One every 4-6 hours and the other every 6-8. It does/did help battle it down despite being a little hectic using both simultaneously. Hope he's feeling better soon. Hugs to you both!

    @StrawberryDreams219‌ I agree I am like you I don't usually load him up with anti fever meds because he is running a fever for a reason but I just want to make him more comfortable, his skin is so hot I could probably fry an egg on it. we are drinking lots of water with pedialyte Popsicles :)

    @otter1103‌ I just sent DH for some Motrin since it does seem to work a little better than Tylenol for us. thanks for the reminder!

    I was going to ask what your DF thought because normally in this situation, I'd make my H do the dirty work for me.

    Or maybe you could sit MIL down together and just nicely explain?

    Although she doesn't sound like the problem so much as SIL.

    @lest12‌ Yeah, I really don't think she wants to watch him after repeatedly being told she was basically not good enough to keep him. I just know she is doing it because it's her grandson and she's afraid to say no. Crazy town over here.


    Your SIL is kind of putting her in a crappy situation, too.  Ugh.

    Families are so much fun, aren't they?  8-|

    Anyway, good luck!  I hope DF gets your back and you get it resolved soon!

    It is your house.  Put your foot down and tell MIL she has to watch him at his own home or not at all.

    Agreed.

    Has anyone had this Brownie Brittle? I'm dying! It is so freaking good! It's like the crunchy crispy edges of the brownie pan.


    Also, I have them totally hidden in my pantry from hubs because he'd flip a gasket if I ate anything that wasn't protein or vegetable right now. Can't help it... Baby wants it....

    What if I want to go back and pick team green because I'm not big on pink. Silly me, I thought the teams were for gender and not color preferences... My bad

    @ugabamafans‌ thanks for asking! it was a rough day. it would break for an hour or two then spike right back up to the 102s and 103s. he also refused pretty much all food and drinks except for a few bites of watermelon. so I'm thinking we will be hitting up the doctor first thing in the morning.

    on another note I have the sadz because the pineapple thread is the only thread I want to read right now and it won't open for me! bummer.

    Lol. My older sister just sent me this text and was completely serious:

    "Ok! So you're due in like 3 weeks. Do you wanna drive to California with me in like 1 and 1:2 weeks?"

    That would put me at 39 weeks on a 1,000 mile road trip.

    @emilyh107‌ no way are you being a brat. Put your foot down and tell her if she's good enough to watch SIL's kid then she can do it at SIL's house
