Is Epsom salt bath safe for baby? I house sat for my parents' farm this weekend and I am soooore in my ankles and calves from lugging buckets over uneven ground. And the shoulder, from their unfamiliar mattress. I have the doctor teal kind with eucalyptus and spearmint.
@scatteringashes I got a snoogle this past week and Im in love! Husband is jealous, he even tried to share it with me and I had to beat him back to his half of the bed away from my "Canoe Sanctuary"
@scatteringashes Yesssss. It took me a hour and a half to watch last night's episode because DS could. not. stay. in. bed. But yes. Screw Jorah, Dany was making eyes at Jon and I am SO here for it.
@scatteringashes and @bainidhedub OMG Dany has never wanted someone more than when she saw Jon petting the dragon. And OMG me too. That does show she is a real mom... just looking for a good father figure for her dad. Tyrion, wtf? You are really crapping the bed lately... ie he should have known Cersei would be all over that meeting etc. And you can put up a better argument for saving people! Still you. Also, Little Finger--I can't wait for Arya to figure everything out and kill you! Or Sansa! Either way, you are gross. Lastly, I wonder if Cersei is really pregnant. I wouldn't put it past her to fake a pregnancy to get Jamie 110% on board since he was slightly wavering. OMG late for a meeting now lol.
@EmilyLove25 haha I totally stopped reading as soon as I recognized got names. You guys should have a GOT thread every week so I can actively avoid it since I'm always so far behind! I really need to catch up.
@EmilyLove25@scatteringashes@bainidhedub@maueraa07 Yes! We should have a GoT thread! I'm so glad other people are watching it. There was a lot of cool stuff this last episode. **SPOILER** I actually had to google and figure out what was going on when Samwell and his woman were reading the scrolls and she dropped the bomb about the possible annulment!! So much interesting stuff going on

I WAS DYING. We're like, "Sam! Sam! Shut up and listen for a second!" But I love Sam and Gilly so I'm not too mad.
Also our whole room erupted into yelling and cheers and other gleeful noises when Davos picked up our buddy in King's Landing. I had just about given up hope, lol.
Awww., @Dani0329 you should go ahead and have a little glass of wine. Sorry DD has been so difficult.
I'm struggling this week too. Have been off work all summer and dh has been traveling a ton so I've been solo a lot. Now DS has suddenly flipped a switch from a sweet, calm and easy one year old to a tantrum throwing two y/o. I just don't have the patience, I give him lots of warning when we go places, plenty of choices... It worked last month but not anymore. We've had a great summer but I'm coming unglued. So looking to get back to work and get some breaks.

I was kind of out of it when watching GOT the other night. What was written on the scroll in Little fingers bed? And what was gillys annulment about? My brain was either foggy or I was still daydreaming about what Jon Snows and my baby would look like....
@livingoffpbjs We didn't see what was on Little Finger's scroll aside from Sansa's name. However, one would assume it was something--definitely fake--that will turn Arya against Sansa even more strongly and cause drama between the two of them... or something that will get Arya away from Winterfell etc. Clearly Little Finger's smirk suggests he is happy with how the plan is unfolding... Gilly's mentioning of the annulment is UBER important because IF Sam had listened, he would have started realizing... "wait a second... was there a baby? Whose baby was it?" Most likely, Prince Rhaegar (Dany's brother) DID in fact marry Lyanna Stark (assuming he dissolved the marriage from his first wife to marry her), so Jon is a. not a bastard and b. holy sh** Sam would say, he's a Targaryen. And I'm sure I don't need to explain to you why that is a big deal, because ummmm Dany would no longer be the legitimate heir to the Iron throne, but Jon would be... Also if the F, it's super weird though not Jamie/Cersei weird.
@livingoffpbjs@EmilyLove25 The note was actually just one that Sansa sent home to Robb in season one or two -- it was about King Robert being killed by the boar. (It wasn't obvious; we found an article that paused the shot, lol.)
Also, my husband desperately hopes Sansa and Arya are faking the fighting to throw off Littlefinger.
GAH can we have a GOT thread so I don't get spoilered in this thread? I have another standing commitment on Sunday nights and consequently I am several weeks behind.
Looking for advice. I have a friend who started trying to conceive while I was pregnant with number one. I just kept thinking it's going to be this month and staying with her on her journey. When she stopped bringing it up, I followed suit.
I'm not making a pregnancy announcement but I assume at some point my bump will make a social media appearance.
@Dani0329 I got pregnant the one time I tried so I don't have much personal experience with difficulty TTC. So, for what it's worth...
I would call her back and bring it up in the conversation. And you can even tell her that you want to be sensitive to her situation, but you're sure your bump is going to make an appearance on social media and you wanted to be the one to tell her.
@Dani0329 I agree with @caeilievalor -- call her back, and bring it up when it's most natural in the conversation. You can even just say, "I don't know where you're at, but I wanted to be the one to tell you. There's no pressure to talk about it further if you don't want to."
@Dani0329 I'm going to disagree slightly. I definitely think you should tell her, but I'd do it via text/email so she have can have whatever reaction she needs to have in private with no pressure to perform a certain emotion in that moment.
DS1: Nov. 2013 DS2: Jan. 2016 DS3: Dec. 2017 Baby #4 on the way!
@KatieEl This was my gameplan prior to the phone call. I may just call her back and talk normal stuff and text her in a week or so. I have a barely bump, so if any photos make it of me on FB from our travels this weekend, I doubt anyone would call me out.
@Dani0329 My friend from CA and I were trying to convince at the same time for baby #2. When I found out I was pregnant, I avoided her because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. When I was 11 wks pregnant, she text me and said she just wanted to let me know she's pregnant with twins!!! Her due date is Feb. 3 I believe, it's CRAZY!! Our babies will be born days apart, if not the same day! Anyway, she was the one to reach our first, and she did it via text. I agree with @KatieEl, if you text her or email her, she'll be able to have a private reaction to it.
@Dani0329 similar to those who have already suggested this, I'd send her a text, email, snail mail (maybe not that) and let her react how she wants without having to put on a happy face if she feels sad. I have a friend who has been having a very difficult time conceiving. I felt horrible when I told her about my wonderful oopsie DS a few years back in an email and she was so nice about it. Then when we decided to actually try for #2 I told her in an email and even told her I was nervous to tell her and she was nothing but kind and congratulatory.
@Dani0329 You've gotten good advice here. I just wanted to say I think you're an awesome friend for being sensitive about it and trying to do what would be the easiest on her! I hope she gets pregnant soon!
@schaze woo! i told my DH's mom who decided to just up and move 3 hours away that we won't be visiting after Thanksgiving. She's lucky that its her turn for Thanksgiving so she'll see us but after that, she's gonna have to make the trip here to see DS for Christmas lol @burnsmommy27 me too! i'm just afraid of somehow going into labor early and being stuck at a hospital that isn't mine!
Hi, @Dani0329, lots of great advice here. As someone who wanted a baby super bad, I really appreciated when people would tell me via text or email. I haven't announced yet on the social medias because so many seem to have quiet struggles, I have been telling friends either in person or via text...all have been externally happy (we never really know what another person is truly feeling).
Your care and sensitivity shows you are a good friend and I'm sure she is too - birds of a feather and all that.
