@morgarita I know it's frustrating not getting the answers you were expecting from your doctor. But really, Tylenol and moderate amounts of caffeine are legit ways to help a headache, and totally safe during pregnancy. Were you wanting a more natural remedy? I also rarely take Tylenol or any medication. Pregnancy is kind of the only time I do. The headaches are no joke, and there are so many other aches and pains associated with pregnancy that it's good to have some on hand. I would also skip the Tylenol/codeine prescription unless you were really desperate and regular Tylenol wasn't helping.
Pregnancy is the only time I take Tylenol too. The headaches are brutal, but Tylenol and an ice cold coke makes that go away in minutes!
I just love only children and big-age-gap children that basically grow up like they were only children, I think I gravitate towards them more than others. Not to generalize, but I feel like they're more confident, self aware, and straightforward.
My dad is a retired LEO so Cops was always on at our house and I've always enjoyed watching, DH actually made fun of me for it when we first got married.

After all this talk about ice cold cokes and Tylenol for a headache, I tried the combo today and bam! No headache! ... I am wide awake in the middle of the night though because if the extra caffeine. Rookie mistake.

No it's our fault - we forgot to give the fine print. You will be wide awake in the middle of the night . I was okay with that 'side effect' - my toddler still doesn't sleep through the night so I'd be up anyway. Glad your headache went away!
I got bottled tea this weekend, pure life I think, and have been drinking half a bottle a day. I was thinking about it today and thought there has to be caffeine in it since it's tea and it does. Less than soda I'm guessing? But I had a mild headache this morning and Tylenol and some of the tea stopped it. I personally just think anything that isn't water in basically soda so is bottled tea any better for you than soda? Making tea with less sugar would probably be better tho? I don't like unsweetened tea.
QUESTION for my Facebook people!!!! I don't have it, but my DH does. We are wondering if there is a way to make a picture(baby announcement) to where it can't be 'shared'???? We would like to announce but his parents, who friend ANY and everyone, and LOTS of people we don't want having direct access to us.....can we make the picture to where my in laws can't share it for their thousands of "friends aka strangers"?? I just hate when they share stuff!
@LoveLee85 if you set the permissions on your photos to "Friends" (NOT "Friends of Friends"), then people who are not friends of yours won't be able to see it even if your in-laws share it. Can't you just ask them not to share it though??

Thank you!!! That would mean they have to listen, and it would mean a big conversation about it...we would just prefer to make it not shareable and avoid all the drama.

Honestly, once you post it on FB, there's really nothing you can do to secure your image - even if you do set it to Friends only, people can easily right-click, save, and re-post that way. if you're not too worried, I'd just add a DO NOT SHARE to the message so they're clear. If you suspect some people just don't give af or you really want to control where it goes, don't post it on FB.
@LoveLee85 that is a really good point that @satsumasandlemons made - even if it can't be seen by sharing, your in-laws could save the picture and then post it themselves. Yikes!
Just so you know - they can still share it, but only your mutual friends will see it. So it might be on their page, but don't freak out. (Of course they're right about them saving it and doing whatever they want with it.)
so, my MIL decided to post about our baby (I told her she could - we had already announced) but she tagged my mom in the post and that made me mad bc it was like she was stealing my mom's thunder. Well then I realized that she actually shared my post and just added something... but since she shared my post, only our mutual friends can see it. I still haven't told her no one can see it and it's been around 3 weeks. Only 3-5 people have liked or commented on it (we don't have many mutual friends) and I think it's hilarious that she's probably wondering why no one has commented on it. I would have told her but I don't want her tagging my mom in it before my mom had a chance to tell her friends in person.
@morgarita - you can count unsweet tea as water, but not sweetened. I would say even sweetened tea (as long as it's not super sweet like McDonald's) is better for you than soda any day.

We want it on Facebook to share with family and friends...and I'm honestly surprised it hasn't been slipped into a random comment from someone. Lol My main issue is they just never respect our wishes. It gets so old!! My in laws don't speak to me hardly, talk shit about me to the family(and they all like me so they tell me), they think I'm a 'spoiled' SAHM and housewife(HA!), they make zero effort to make me feel welcome, in laws are always stirring up drama. When we told them on Christmas Day we got an "oh"!? That's it! No hugs, no congratulations, no how are you feeling, no joy.....but they are fake as fake can be and will post a huge Facebook post about how happy they are and over joyed/blessed**rolling my eyes so hard they get stuck in the back of my head***
I just hate when they pretend to love me on Facebook but hate me in all other life exchanges. Also, my DH is chicken shit and won't confront them. So I have a few times and let's just say it never goes well. It should be coming from my DH but he won't man up. After years of being treated like shit, I speak my mind now.
I might be 'ok' with making it to where if they do go against our wishes and share it, that if the privacy setting is 'NOT friends of friends' then nobody else can see it anyway? If I'm reading that correct.
Also, they know I don't have Facebook and do posts like they are talking to me on my birthday and our anniversaries?!?! Yet, they do not have my phone number, have never attempted to contact me, and we have been married for years and I'm basically the gate keeper to their grandson?! So why on earth have they not even tried. The entire situation is awkward and horrible.
@LoveLee85 I'm sorry your in laws suck so hard. Mine are the same, fake around other people and strange and rude in real life. It's such a hard situation to deal with.

Thank you and I'm sorry you know what it's like!! I almost deleted half that because it turned into a dear diary pity party for a hot minute there but oh well. LOL I have given them so many chances and it's only gotten worse, so I pick distance now. Sucks but I don't have a lot of choices.
It stinks that you can't rely on your ILs to not share something on Facebook. That's why I'm avoiding telling one portion of my family, because one of them is SUCH a FB oversharer. She'd post it right away.
Re: only children - my very best friend is an only child, and I think it made her into a better, more thoughtful person. I was an only child until the age of 7, and was great at keeping myself entertained. Sure, I liked playing games with my parents, but I was also happy to sit in my room and make up stories with my toys.
Question. How do the bump admins know about threads? Are there enough to monitor every board and they just lurk? Or do they rely on reporting then they go in and look? Or both I guess.
Yeah I was just reading the 3 car seats thread and she shows banned @GlitterFish. No idea what for. Grrrr. I love how people that participate a handful of times get on their soap box and preach, mean while we lose active contributing members for no reason. It's looking like post it season around here.
@LoveLee85 - It's like you're living my life with my MIL. I commiserate so much with your IL situation.

A small piece of advice for those of you planning your nurseries. I wanted a traditional rocker and not a glider. It was my big splurge. Well, the nursery is carpeted and it was a huge mistake. You can't rock without sliding into the wall behind you. And now the wall has several holes in it.
My schedule is starting to ramp up again. This is my last semester on my journey to get my masters in special education. I'm so excited but freaking out because I can't mess this up.
@ACharnelle you gotta get a recliner. Doesn't slide- we have hard wood thru out and area rugs doesn't slide on either. If baby falls asleep on you, you can put your feet up and lean back. We've done a lot of over nights in the chair. And we got a small nursery size for $300, soooo worth it. I wouldn't put it in the living room but were borrowing one for the first couple months to stay in the living room/play room.
Looks like ashaw512 was banned. That's a sad one for me.
Whaaaatttttt????
Not shocked. Homegirl loves the hard snark!
Looks like whatever she said in the 'NT Scan and Gender' thread was her 3rd strike (it's been removed). I can't remember what it said though. I am sure she will be back.
