Re: Pregnancy and Parenting Resources

  • @catlady1215 that's ok! I did it from mobile so I couldn't figure out how to post just the video and I know some people don't have FB.

  • Loading the player...
  • Is anything else getting stickied? I can't tell because I'm not sure July knows how to even request it...?
  • @doxiemoxie212 - Not that I've seen, but I haven't been stalking other boards as much. BGs are always slow as molasses when it comes to sticky-ing (except that one time in like May I think? Where they stickied a thread within an hour of the request...).

    But, they have plenty of time to hand out warnings and TOU violations, there should be enough time to hit a button to sticky a thread. Assuming the framework of this board is the same as most message boards on the internet, it's literally one button that they'd have to press on their end as an admin... Easy peasy.
    [Sorry, went off on a bit of a tangent; it's just really easy to get done and irks me that it's ignored and put off so often?]

  • @doxiemoxie212 ~ I came here to comment the same thing
  • www.evidencebasedbirth.com is an awesome resource for folks who value informed decision making in the birth process. Highly recommend!
  • @BumpAdmin can you at least let us know if you're never going to pin this? Like, put us out of our misery. 
  • @BumpAdmin @bumptara - we've been asking for a month now. Please sticky this thread.

  • @BumpAdmin I know you're going to have to come around for August soon, so cmon, give us some love. Pin this bad boy!!
  • Bumping this again to hopefully get this pinned @BumpAdmin

    But also, I have a question that would be useful to keep the answers here. Does anyone have a really great registry checklist? Like, of all the REAL necessities, not just the overkill you get on the store checklists to get you to buy more. I think I heard about some really great excel spreadsheet version somewhere that splits things up according to "need" vs "nice to have" vs "just for fun". I thought maybe it was on Lucie's List, but I didn't see it there yesterday. I thought this might be useful as we all start putting together registries.

  • @icecubeinthedesert sign up for Lucie's List emails; the first email they'll send you is their breakdown. Take their google excel doc they send you, save it as your own, then add a column in between PRICE and TERM OF USE (age). Then go through the list and highlight the items of their suggestions you like, and put the price ONLY for the item you're choosing from each category. Add a row at the very bottom, total up your new column. This will track YOUR total budget, but it will keep all the options (with LL's included links, info, etc. for alts) in one place but also with your shopping list. BOOM! ;)

    I used an app called Baby Connect after DD was born to help myself keep track of when she had a bottle/how much, when she slept/how long, wet and dirty diapers, milestones, etc. I probably used it until 6 months or so when it was less crucial to keep track of oz drank and wet diapers. It was great the first few months when I was sleep deprived enough to barely remember the last time I ate let alone when the baby did. And you can add other caregivers so I knew how much she ate for DH when I went back to work or if she pooped while my parents were watching here. 

    ETA: I FF but for BFing you could also keep track of which side baby nursed from and how long. 
    I’m SO type A and I really loved documenting like this (okay I think it’s also the nurse drilled into me- if you didn’t document it, it didn’t happen) but my DH thought I was a little insane when I made him download the app and use it when I wasn’t home.  :D

  • @icecubeinthedesert Thanks for posting that.  I wandered into BRU today to take a look around and got super overwhelmed again and need something to keep my mind on track!  
  • @bumpadmin you've gotta be coming by soon to setup September... pin this for us!
  • @doxiemoxie212 I did the Lucies List and that spreadsheet is next level amazing. I spent almost an entire day going through everything and creating new columns to keep track of our registries based on her recommendations and articles... and a new section to track our hand me downs and purchases for the nursery. Thank you!

    Topic(s) covered: Circumcision (I know it's a hot-button topic and, full-disclosure, my son is intact.)
    Why you think it's helpful; why you trust it: It's a really in-depth look at the practice of circumcision, from a  guy with a PhD, who's a professor at Georgetown. Watching this video helped solidify the decision I had planned on letting my husband make. Be forewarned, it's 30+ minutes long, but worth watching, if you have questions.

  • @BumpAdmin pleeeeeeease sticky, please!!!!
    We are so excited to grow our family!

  • @kfren my son is also intact. My rationale is that his body made it for him, that’s his natural state. Who am I to modify him?

  • @BumpAdmin Sticky please? Pretty please? I'll let you play with my Malibu Stacy...
  • Thought I'd bump, since we're getting closer to crunch time. I've seen stuff in a lot of different threads that would fit nicely on here. 

    @BumpAdmin Please sticky? With cherries on top?
