    @chrinikki1 Walmart will always exchange unopened diapers, as long as they are a brand they sell. And here is a handy article I used as a guideline for stockpiling diapers myself: https://www.babysavers.com/how-to-stockpile-diapers/

    @chrinikki1‌ @Emilyfae‌ Like PP said, pretty much every store will return unopened diapers as long as it's something they carry. Also, just from my experience with them in the NICU, I like the Pampers Swaddlers.

    So, two birds made a nest under the eaves of my porch roof. It took them weeks and then Vi (the mama bird) laid eggs and they hatched a few days ago. I was excited to see the 4 baby birds chirping away and Vi seemed so proud of her little babies. THEN, a few days later, Vi stopped showing up and I stopped hearing the chirps. DH went out there and looked. All the babies were dead. It's been very hot (90s-100s) and he thinks they died because of the heat. I cried on and off for about an hour after he took down the nest and buried it. I'm still so sad about it. I know, it's nature and the circle of life, but ugh! I'm in the same boat. I have a baby growing in me and I'm nesting. Is it stupid to feel empathy for little Vi bird and her babies? 
    Not stupid at all. We had a nest of birds in our yard and we checked on them every day with mama screeching at us from the garage room. DS liked to watch the mama bird delivering worms and got excited every time he saw her. One day the nest was destroyed and the birds were gone. I was hoping they just flew away, but Dh admitted later he found two of the three babies on the ground under the tree. I was pretty sad.

    @AutumnBonfire DH closed the blinds before he went out there and he was so sweet about it. It's so sad because they were so vulnerable and little. I wonder what destroyed the nest in your yard? Another bird?

    I have no idea. Maybe a squirrel or a chipmunk? I don't know if they go after birds' nests. We get the occasional stray cat too.

    Wtf, random etsy seller? I ordered a coming home outfit from you on may 11th. You told me standard turnaround time is 10-14 days, and asked for a need-by date just to assure I had it in time. I was generous and told you June 15, a month before my due date and 2 weeks longer than you said you needed. It hasn't been shipped, and you can't bother to respond to my messages?

    If I don't see it shipped in two days, I'll be contacting etsy about your shop. Also, I already ordered a different custom layette from a different shop, almost a month after my order with you, and she informed me it will be shipped soon.

    I don't have the patience to bitch out on you right now, and you're making me annoyed...especially because I prefer to spend my money on small businesses and private shops. You're giving them a bad name.

    I have been going round with my Etsy person that is doing the letters for Emma's name for the nursery. But at least she started returning my emails....
    I ordered some hair bows (for newborn photos and just to have) almost two months ago, and the seller's shop listed 2-3 weeks as the general ship time.  I waited until she was 2 weeks overdue before e-mailing her and politely asking when she expected to ship them. 

    She apologized and said she'd mail them out right now and throw in an extra hair bow for the trouble.  Great, right? 

    Well, it's been over a week SINCE then, and my order still hasn't been marked as shipped.  If you're not going to do something, why e-mail me and pretend you are?  So annoying and unprofessional.  At this point I will be surprised if I get the bows before I go into labor.

    I had a bad Etsy experience over Christmas. I ordered a gift for my sister three weeks before Thanksgiving. A week later, she marked it as shipped. A week before Christmas, when I still hadn't received it, I emailed her and she apologized, citing that she was SO BUSY OMGGGGG and asked me if I really needed it that soon or if it could wait another week.

    Um. It's a Christmas gift. I need it.

    I didn't see her email until the next day, so when I responded, she told me I responded too late and it probably wouldn't be there on Christmas, but the day after. She refunded the purchase and I sucked it up and explained to my sister.

    Did I get the damn thing on the 26th? Hell no. I didn't get it for another two weeks. When I emailed her two days after Christmas, she apologized and said she "forgot" because the holidays were just SO CRAZY.

    It makes me nervous to work with anyone else on Etsy. :(

    Ugh...that sucks @rachelchristina! I agree with @tundrabunny...the sense of violation is the worst! Glad they got caught and all ended well though.

    Thank you guys for the well wishes! It really means a lot. I agree it's the sense of security loss that is way worse than any of the rest of it. It is going to be tough feeling safe for a while probably. I'm the most worried about my 12yo SS though. Hoping he still feels safe at our house. They took some of his stuff too and at 12, that was a bigger deal to him. He'll get it all back and seems fine right now, just hoping he is really ok.

    That is so scary - I'm glad it had a happy ending, but wow!

    @TallMomma29‌ that's awful. I would have screamed. Our dog started drinking from my pee-filled toilet last night. I don't flush at night because 1) I pee so much and 2) because our bathroom is attached to the master bedroom and it would wake DH. Gross doggie.

    The hubs and I tried to do some estate sale/ thrifting this morning and I think I got overheated. Now, I'm laying on the couch watching Lifetime and I just saw a preview for "Stolen from the Womb" tonight... It looks terrifying, about a crazy woman who steals a friend's baby. It has Alex Mack in it (Nickelodeon throwback). I'm considering watching.
    Ha...I loved that show. I would totally watch that movie if DH wasn't around...

    I had a come apart today because I realized how much I have left I want to accomplish before the baby arrives on Tuesday (induction due to medical reasons).  I was just let off of bedrest but I physically cannot do everything I need to do.  DH has done nothing related to the baby and he asked if I was mad at him today.  I didn't want to really go into everything because some things I am feeling may be a little over the top, but I did ask him if there was anything he noticed that the baby might need.  He said no.  I said, um a place to sleep maybe?  So he moved the bed for me so I could put the PNP in our room.  I now feel much better.  Looking back maybe I should have moved the bed myself because I would really rather go into labor on my own than be induced.  A herniated disc might suck though.

    Holy wow my vag hurts. I'm having awful pains inside. I know this is normal. I just had to tell someone and this isn't the ideal fb status.

    I totally have bowling bowl crotch and feel like I've been riding a bike for about 6 hours to long! Plus, I'm swollen down there, it freaks me out a bit.
