@TattoosandLace ugh you're dh's family sounds like the worst! We announced last week at 12 +3. But mostly because I'm definitely showing and people are noticing.
If I were you, I would put family aside and announce when YOU want. Without catering to their reactions. Although I would be worried that SIL can't keep her mouth shut. What is it with people and not minding their own business?

@mamaof5already - ooh! I love a good tater tot casserole. Please give us the recipe!
hmm, should we have a recipe thread?
I'm of a vote yes for recipe thread! I need new ideas! I know we have meal plan Monday but this seems like it can be an ongoing thing, not just a weekly, so we just have one thread to look through.

@TattoosandLace I'd just announce now because she's going to tell people. And then you'll get the bitching of "why didn't YOU tell us" which you don't need. Sucks that you can't announce on your terms because of one busybody who can't keep her mouth shut.

@TattoosandLace that's wicked shitty of SIL to do. This is your baby and your experience. Announce when you want to. When it will make you happy. I'm kind of jealous of women that have babies close together because they grow up together. That's the norm in my family. With IF struggles we kept getting "you shouldn't wait to long" "DS is getting really old" he's only 3. So we announced right away to shut everyone up. Now no one really bothers me because it's baby number 2. Go figure.

Her intro here says she is March. I'm just wary of people like this who only like to lurk and not contribute. When it comes time to start the private fb group, I think it's wise to have a minimum post count and three people vouch for a username. I don't want people in a private fb group where we share our names and personal information, just so they can "lurk."

With DD2, we waited until after the anatomy scan to make sure everything was in its place and working, etc. I'm definitely worried that she won't keep her mouth shut. She lied to me about telling her husband. Hello, he literally called my husband and said "My wife said you're expecting?"
@TattoosandLace Ugh. They sound like something else. Would you be ready to announce if it weren't for DH's family? If so, I say go for it. SIL already dictated when DH's brother found. I wouldn't want her taking that moment again.

When we told his family at 20 weeks with DD2, it was just rude comments. They aren't going to be happy for us because it doesn't fit their "timeline" or it wasn't their idea so part of me just wants to not tell them and avoid hearing about it forms tha before a baby arrives that then they all want to see and post photos of.
Just catching up on this thread now. #picklesarelife I told H I finally understand why pregnant women eat pickles (besides the fact they're awesome): They get rid of the nasty taste I seem to always have in my mouth. The other day H asked me to bring him several pickles and I almost blew my top because they're MINE and are a medical necessity!
Also I saw the bump post and will side eye the crap out of anything posted here...
ETA yeah, I can't let someone talk shit about another BMB on our BMB, especially when I know so many of the March ladies and they're awesome.

If anyone watches Game of Thrones, the last episode was AWESOME! I can't believe there are only 3 more episodes left!
It was. Everything about it. I got goosebumps. I love Arya. She's so awesome. Dany and Jon keep giving each other bedroom eyes. They are going to get it on, and then Bran will be like "Yo, you're a Targaryen. She's your auntie." *snort*

Arya is a favorite of mine. I kinda felt bad for Sansa. She finds out that Arya is a bad-ass warrior and Bran is the three-eyed raven. What new talents does she have? Also, Ser Davos' line,"I noticed you staring at her good heart." Oh man! I don't think they'll get it on, but you can definitely sense they're interested in each other.
@TattoosandLace I am sorry your SIL is stealing this moment for you. I can see you wanting to wait. I also understand not wanting SIL to spill to anyone else. Sounds like my MIL--I have no advice--but sorry you are going through that!!
I also support some sort of system (post count or something), when making the FB group. I am glad we are waiting a long time before jumping to that. Stranger danger is real!

I don't think this is a spoiler for GoT: I think all the new talents of her siblings will push Sansa to cling to Littlefinger, which is a scary thought. Then again, it brings her full circle to what a spoiled, naive B she was in season 1.

I don't have any strong opinions on pickles, I can take em or leave em. @tattoosandlace that was so shitty of your SIL! I would probably announce sooner than later before she runs her mouth to the whole family but I totally understand why you'd want to hold off. I LOVE game of thrones and thought last night's episode was awesome! This whole season actually has been great. I love that things are actually happening every episode unlike previous seasons that seemed to slowly build up over time.
My random is this is my last week before a 2 week staycation and I have zero desire to do any work. It's going to be a long ass week.

DH likes to wait until after the anatomy scan and he is still very hurt from what they did at DD2's birth. I'm trying to respect his wishes while balancing out that this is pregnancy Number Three and while I carry low and don't show an awful lot at first, it's pregnancy three and those an muscles aren't as tight as they were during round one.
Oh man, I have so much to say about GOT, * spoiler alert* I don't think Sansa will cling to little finger, and I think she does have talents, I think she is going to be the brains behind saving them all! I hope!
Also, I think pickles are an American thing, I like them on burgers but that's about the only place you see them here?
And @TattoosandLace I also think announce soonish, so you can reclaim some of that new baby excitement that is rightfully yours to share!!! I'm going to after my anatomy scan.
and lastly as for march- I love how it was the most ridiculous fight, why get so passionate about blumps v bumps?
I want to know why I have never tried tater tot casserole before now in my life! I made it last night for dinner and it's sooo good! I've had it for lunch today to and thinking of hiding the tiny bit that's left from everyone else in my house. It's like mac and cheese with fried potatoes instead of noodles and of so creamy and yummy!
And the recipe please?????
1 bag tater tots, a basic bachemel ( 2 tbsp butter and 2 tbsp flour cooked together until light brown in a pan, then whisk in milk took creamy) salt, white pepper, and garlic powder to taste, add 1/4 lb cheese of your choice -i used Cooper American. Mix the sauce with the tots in a casserole pan, to with shredded cheese -i had a Mexican blend on hand - bake at 400 for 30 to 45 minutes. So good!
Mmm pickles. Only dill though and they have to be crunchy. My random is that I can't handle when there is that yellow "new" beside threads in the bump. I have to click and read all the new stuff while I'm on here. It's the worst when I accidentally click on a thread that doesn't apply to me but then I have to keep checking it to get rid of the "new". I'm the same with notifications on the phone.

Me too!!! If I see someone's phone and they have a badge that says they have 1,000 unread emails it makes my skin crawl lol.
So I love GOT but am religiously avoiding all your got post bc we're only on season 5, so super behind. One day we will be caught up! Also Tatar tot casserole sounds awesome.
@mbirdie you would hate my phone. I have a few hundred emails to read. Most are in the joint email DH and I share and most are things he subscribed to that I ignore.
My random today is the only reason I've done any laundry today is I bought a box of cosmic brownies and I eat a half every time I switch a load.
