@ohstars I would have lost it too. That is not for her or anyone to post online. Your child, your choice on when you want to post anything to social media. I am super crazy on this though, I post limited pictures; so I expect friends and family to respect that.
@ohstars you must be a saint. I would not have been so calm about it and would definitely have words for the world before the birth of another child! Especially that she posted it on social media so you had a bunch of little random twits of her friends seeing pictures of your baby before you.... that's just so insensitive.
@ohstars I have to agree with PP. I'm getting a little teary thinking of anyone other than me and DH being the first two to see this baby. You are a saint not to have bitten their heads off.
Okay so I have a 3 row car. Currently DS is forward facing in the middle seat.
Do i keep him in the middle and put the baby next to him to have access to the third row or do i put one dude on each side and basically turn my 7 seater car into a 2 seater.
@ohstars I would have flipped my shit. Especially on my H if he took my family to meet my kid before me?!?! Nope, sorry. H and I get first dibs and everyone else can just wait.
@PerraSucia I think it depends on how often you need access to the 3rd row. If it's often, I'd put them beside each other to keep access open, otherwise, I'd probably do one on either side because for us it helps to have some space between them (plus it's usually easier to get solid car seat installs if they aren't up against each other).
How old is DS? I'm guessing moving him into the 3rd row and putting baby in the middle of the 2nd isn't a very good option for you right now?
I saw a guy killed in a motorcycle accident. A mom outside of my kids school was turning and a motorcyclist collided with her. I'll save you the details but it was horrific and I wish I could unsee it. The driver is alive, but hurt and 5 months pregnant. My husband is never, ever getting on a motorcycle again.
Oh my goodness @Spicyweiner!! My heart is heavy for the driver and the motorcyclist's family. Definitely take time to process the emotions yourself. I've always been so against motorcycles because no matter how safe the person on the bike or other people are, the risks are just too great with little to no safety barriers.
@ohstars I would have flipped my shit. Especially on my H if he took my family to meet my kid before me?!?! Nope, sorry. H and I get first dibs and everyone else can just wait.
This. I would probably still be mad at my DH to this day! So no, definitely not the hormones.
Oh wow @Spicyweiner I'm so sorry you had to see that, I'm sure it is not something you will quickly be able to forget I feel awful for both parties involved and I hope the pregnant driver and her baby will be ok. I'm totally with you @TeacherMom2517 on motorcycles. Too much risk. My husband always asks for one and I will continue to shut him down
Thanks for the validation guys. I gotta find the right time to say something this time. If I have a similar experience, I will probably still have DH take family down to the NICU because the idea of my new baby thrust into the world and alone breaks my heart.
@spicyweiner - that is horrific. I saw a motorcycle accident like 3 weeks ago but the motorcyclist walked away and I was still shaken. I can't imagine how it feels to see that.
@Spicyweiner I am so sorry that you had to see that. That sounds awful and I can't even imagine whats going through all of the affected people's minds. I've seen someone airlifted out of an accident, and to this day I am extremely cautious around that part of the freeway. ((Hugs)) I'm so sorry.
@spicyweiner So sorry you had to see that. Any time you experience death first hand it is shocking, so try to give yourself some time to process. I will send up a prayer for all involved tonight.
@PerraSucia Do you actually use your 3rd row? I think I would try it out for a month or two once LO arrives with them each in the outside seat, because I almost never use my 3rd row.
@PerraSucia our son and daughter were next to each other but he had the worst time getting his buckle latched while DD was in her carrier. We had to separate them and have the middle seat open. I'm not sure how we would have done it if we had 3 rows.
@Spicyweiner that is absolutely horrible for everyone involved including you! I have a fear of seeing things like that. Take care of yourself, seeing that is traumatic.
I use the third row like once a week but at work. DS is going to be 3 a month from today and would be super bummed if we put him in the back. I think maybe I'll put it in and see how annoying it is before deciding.
@Spicyweiner Wow, of course you are. I saw a dog get hit by a car once and was an emotional wreck the rest of the day. I can't imagine seeing something like that happen to another human and not feeling like a bit of a mess.
@Spicyweiner I'm so sorry you had to see that. Accidents are so scary and something like that always makes you think and leaves you with an uneasy feeling. Thinking of you as well as everyone involved.
@Spicyweiner im so sorry that you had to see that, it must have been so traumatic. Motorbikes scare the life out of me, i just dont know how anyone can feel safe on one. I hope youre doing ok! Xxx
@Spicyweiner I am so sorry you had to witness the accident. I hope everyone is able to overcome this. My SIL died in a car accident 3 years ago and my H still struggles sometimes with it. Sending positive thoughts your way!
@Spicyweiner I'm so sorry you had to see that. My dad was in a small accident in April and is still doing physical therapy. It's so scary how bad it can be.
@Spicyweiner That is just awful. I'm so sorry for everyone involved. I hope he was wearing a helmet and you didn't have to see too much awfulness. Ugh, and what about the kids, man? I hope the kids at the school did not see!
I got my blood work back today. I didn't get it drawn till Thursday even though the orders were in on Tuesday... stupid. ANyway, turns out I am anemic. RBC, HCT, and Hemoglobinare all pretty low. And this is after 2.5 weeks of iron supps and an iron rich diet. I wish I had results to see if it's helping to compare. Sigh. I'm so frustrated. And tired of being tired.

DH was just lying on the floor with the dogs playing with them, and I overheard him tell them, "We still love you, just not as much as Dean. That's only going to get worse when he gets here, so you may as well get used to it now."
He finds it amusing to tell them not nice things in a nice voice. His normal endearment for them is "bad fat dogs".
So prenatal care is covered 100% with no copay through my insurance, but medical billing has decided I'm high risk and charging me for everything. Like my pee in a cup is 5 dollars on top of my copay. I'm getting the exact same care as a not high risk patient and it's totally fucking bullshit.
