Does any one have the power to unpin some of the stuff from the top of the board? There’s a lot there and most of it isn’t used anymore now that babies have arrived. I don't think so. And ya I've been thinking there's a lot up there. Maybe Betweenthelines can help us again. I'm thinking leave the "birth announcements" thread and the "in memory" thread and unpin the rest. Unless someone thinks different.

I haven’t sent out my birth announcements yet... and he’s almost 6 weeks old 🤦♀️ They are currently sitting on my desk and half of them are addressed. I don’t know why it’s been so hard to finish the other half and put stamps on them.

I don’t know why it’s been so hard to finish the other half and put stamps on them. DD2 is 4w and we still don’t have newborn pictures back so I don’t even know what to send. I’m so annoyed with our photographer it’s not even funny. And hopefully no one thought it was tacky, but I downloaded an app that lets you create postcards and sends them for for you and used it for thank you notes. I’m horribly guilty of writing, addressing, and even stamping thank you cards and never sending them. This way they were sent without ever leaving my couch.

I won't have our announcements from our photographer until next week and she'll be two months on the 19th 😐. I'm really annoyed about it but I guess better late than never.

We did announcement cards for kid 1. Not planning to do them for kid 2. Saves us from procrastination.

We never got around to doing announcements for DS but we're doing them for N. Most of them are going overseas to my husband's family so he's taking care of ordering them today. She's 5 weeks already and mail tends to take forever to get to France so we'll see how old she is by the time they arrive lol.
I took both kids to my parents' house this morning. N is actually napping and my mom took DS to the playground behind their house, so I'm having coffee on the deck in the sunshine 😎

My birth control experiment is a failure again. I started taking it a few days ago and the past two days I've felt so anxious and depressed. The same thing happened after Em. I hate feeling this way, like I want to crawl out of my skin.

I hate feeling this way, like I want to crawl out of my skin. This is why I use paragard. Hormonal BC makes me crazy anxious and occasionally really depressed. Would you consider a different option?

FIL was supposed to come help us with a project today but my nephew is in the hospital with some weird eyeball issue. Everyone is all mad I won’t let FIL come over and do the project. But they live together and I have a newborn. Nephew is going to be transferred to a children’s hospital an hour away because of this thing. I’m not about to take a chance on that bullshit with a newborn. I’m constantly stressed all the time that I’m the only one who cares about whether we get some sort of fucked up illness. MH legit just asked me when FIL can come, “like after a couple days or what?” I AM NOT A FUCKING DOCTOR YOU ARE STRESSING ME OUT. WHY DONT YOU CARE LIKE I DO???
I’ve never even heard of Orbital cellulitis until an hour ago. Sorry I don’t have all the answers, assholes.

Ugh ArielMermaid I’m sorry your H is making you rage. I would feel the same way as you about this eyeball thing. No way in hell am I allowing someone who’s been in contact with a strange medical issue to be around my newborn.

Speaking of H rage...
H had a golf outing yesterday instead of work. His college friends came down for it and they went out last night. I said I didn’t mind as long as he wasn’t worthless today. Well guess who was hungover this morning and needed to go back to bed? Rage. So I took L for a walk and said I’d be back around noon. H was up and showered by the time we got back. I decided to spare his life for the time being. Then I fed L, he went down for a nap, and I went out to run some errands. I come home 2 hours later and he was still sleeping!! The kid who NEVER takes longer than a half hour nap for me. So I suffer through 30 min cat naps all week long and H gets a luxurious 2 hour chill on the couch?! The rage has returned and I may be rethinking my decision to kill him.

I googled. I still don’t know how contagious it is but little dude is 8 and they have him on morphine and are moving him by ambulance to a children’s hospital. But somehow I’m still the buzzkill gate keeper here. Why can’t anyone else care? If it were me I’d quarantine myself! But noooo they have to all look to be to tell them “fuck no”.

It’s a good thing they have you honestly. I feel awful for him, and his poor parents. They’ve had a rough go of illness this flu season. And they are always great about not coming over when this happens. It’s MIL & FIL I cannot trust.

Ugh I’m sorry ArielMermaid. I hope your nephew is ok. I also hope that it’s not contagious. I don’t understand why they think it’s ok to try to make you the bad guy when dealing with an unknown possibly contagious disease. We’re behind you if you need help burying any bodies though.

What is everyone wearing? I’m a postpartum mess - I still haven’t found a bra that fits well and none of my clothes fit plus they aren’t nursing friendly. Any one have a good post partum outfit? I’m struggling with feel not great about myself so I’m hoping if I like what I’m wearing, then I’ll feel a little bit more confident. FWIW these shorts from target are SUPER comfortable and stretchy. I’ve been wearing them nearly every day. Oops. At $17 they are super affordable too. www.target.com/p/women-s-mid-rise-destructed-midi-jean-shorts-universal-thread-153-medium-wash/-/A-53174689

At $17 they are super affordable too. www.target.com/p/women-s-mid-rise-destructed-midi-jean-shorts-universal-thread-153-medium-wash/-/A-53174689 I bought those exact shorts yesterday. Super comfy. I was really hoping to not have to buy new shorts or work pants, but I go back to work next week and it’s been 70-80 degrees this past week, so the time is now and I’m not quite fitting back into my pre-preg pants/shorts. Shirts are okay, because I have mostly looser fitting or flowy shirts to begin with. I’m also having trouble finding a good bra. I have one from cake maternity and one from target and they are both meh. I usually wear a cami under my shirts, but that’s definitely not nursing friendly and I get sooo much hotter now than before, so the extra layer isn’t practical. Sorry I don’t have any advice, just commiseration.
