Good morning ladies! I'm in a pissy mood today, because MH was being an ass last night. Pregnancy insomnia is really not helped by being angry. It's great (sarcasm here) to just lay in bed not sleeping thinking about what pissed you off over and over again. Maybe if I get my day started I can quit brooding about it. Don't piss off the pregnant lady! What's so hard about that?

Guys, I'm running a fever with a nasty cough. Rest and fluids? Anything I should be watching for? This is like the second fever I've run in 20 years and I definitely never had a fever when I was pregnant with DS.
Part of me wants to go on a cleaning spree today; take care of laundry, finish putting away all the christmas crap that's still around, vacuum, etc, but another part of me wants to sit under my heated blankie, stuff my face, and watch cartoons with DD. Surprisingly I think the productive side of me will win out today!

Lots of liquids and rest. Tylenol to keep your fever reasonable . Sorry your feeling sick, it sucks!
BTW, I've decided I'd much prefer if our board made the jump over here. However, I don't want to totally disappear from the community at this junction. So I've decided to contribute equally to the Randoms on both boards in hopes to help draw more people over. For those of you in both places, if you see similar posts from me, that's the reason why.

I say just give your Dr a call so they're aware and they can offer advice on when something could be concerning. They may just tell you to rest, keep hydrated and keep a close eye on your temperature but better to be safe and talk with them.
I think I'm pretty much decided to just hang out over here. I don't really miss much about TB and I figure one of the other "dual citizens" or the facebook group will alert me if something is up.
Did the first hospital tour today, and I really liked it. Freaking out a little bit about the hospital bag situation... especially since I learned that they don't really provide...anything... for Mom during/after labor. I was told (and believe) that most German's will labor naked, and then after wear their own clothes. The hospital will basically provide pads and that's it.
I did find out that this hospital has a super nice family room that I'm hoping we can get when I'm there (If I choose this place), especially since its only 45 EUR a night.

I think this is what I have decided too. I just made a post on tb asking people what they are doing. I'm not a super active poster so I think I'm just going to jump over here.
How is the dump doing? I kiss everyone, although I'm sure I see most on fb I still haven't made the connection of real name and screen name.
I'm about to pee my pants. They need they hurry up
It's.....weird. The vibe is totally off. I think a lot of people feel sketched out about sharing much. Add to that a new onslaught of intros/reintros, not many people are even bothering to say welcome (back). The reintros are the more bizarre. Tons of new names and most of the other boards are completely dead. There's crickets.

Not much going on with me, I (of course) slept like crap last night. I woke up at 3AM and then around 5 our pup got sick so I had to clean that up. Thank goodness it was in her kennel and not anywhere else. She came up in bed with us after that and slept for a few hours.
cwbandthenewbie, I'd just monitor it and do rest and fluids. If it gets to 100 or so, I'd take some tylenol, minimal dose first, and then re-temp in an hour. If it's not going down or is going up, I'd call. I hope you feel better!!!

I'm making an effort to hang out here more than the dump too, especially with all of the lurkers coming out to play all of a sudden. I might post occasionally over there (like I did this morning to tell said lurkers that they aren't going to be automatically allowed into our facebook group). I don't get all the gripes about the format here, it's really not that bad and definitely not difficult to maneuver. I know that everyone hates change but I just can't stay at the dump after what they did to so many long time community members.
I started collecting things I plan to pack for our hospital bags yesterday which makes this seem so much more real! We also put the car seat in my car but it *barely* fits in the center backseat of my Civic. Eeek. I'm thinking of moving the base to my husband's truck instead since we will most likely be bringing baby home in his vehicle anyway and maybe not even buying a second base for my car. I'm quitting my job when baby comes so if I need to go somewhere with baby then I could just drive his truck which is much bigger and safer than my car anyway. And he can always take my car to work if he isn't going with us. I hate to spend another $80 on a second base if we can get buy with driving baby around only in his truck. Anyone else run into a similar issue?

Am I doing it?! Lol I think I successfully created an account although I can't quite get my avatar to change.. Just isn't working. I'm extremely technologically challenged.. I haven't been on tb too much lately because it has been super slow just not the same. My random is I've eaten two strawberry cupcakes for breakfast. No Ragrets.

We're not buying a second base for H's car. We really don't drive it much and mine is newer/has less miles on it. I say save the money and don't buy a second base.

This is how I feel too! I keep looking at areas around the house thinking about how I need to clean EVERYthing but ultimately I end up sitting on the couch. I might make an effort this weekend to do some major cleaning. I have this fear that the baby will show up early and my house will still be a mess and all of these people will want to visit and I won't be able to clean anything for taking care of a newborn!

We have a second base, but really didn't use it much. However, our second was for H's car and I was the one who usually had her. The bases are really easy to move though, much easier than a convertible car seat. Also, some infant carriers have a way to be hooked onto the car without the base. Don't ask me which ones, I just know my sister's does. You might want to look into that.
Can someone tech savvy tell me how to give myself tickers using iPad? My laptop is totally f'd up and until H gets around to fixing it I don't have the patience for it. I'm not even going to ask him to spend the time until everything is ready for baby, so that could be awhile.
We have two bases since G will be dropping him off in the mornings at daycare, and I will be picking him up in the afternoons and fighting with the base every day just wasn't something I wanted to deal with.

Hi ladies. I think it's strange I feel way more compelled to keep up with stuff on the board than the other. Then again I feel the same about FB. Maybe because I feel more like I know ya'll or am getting to know people in other groups. People complain about the format because they're used to TB. Change isn't easy for people but the few months of BS at TB are enough to keep me over here more actively.
This morning I received an excellence award at my job. I've worked there nearly 7 years but in the last 6 months I've gotten more recognition than I ever have. I think it's because I am the sole developer in my department and they really don't want me to quit after my maternity leave. Hell, they don't even want me to take my leave!
I'm taking my 12 weeks with pay though that's for damn sure. After that I will probably come back until I hit my vesting milestone next year. I'm definitely not going to tell them that, however.
Yeah i told my j13 board peace out last night. I feel like I'm mourning dude. I've been listening to sad music all morning! I can't keep up with the duel citizenship anymore. It's too much. Plus dh has asked me to not spend so much time on my mommy board, that's what he calls it. Our mod stepping down really hit home for me that i don't think tb will ever be the same. I don't have the patience for drice bys anymore and gag every time i see someone intro now. #sooverit %intro
I'm already annoyed at the office and it just now hit 9. At least i got my free coffee today- raspberry white mocha. It's making A kick.

Re bases. We only had 1. It was easy to swap in and out. We did have 2 for a little while but only cause my bff's ds grew out of it and she let us borrow it. I'm not even sure we will do that this time. I don't know i want any of her crap this time- fftc-
I saved all R's clothes in case she has a boy one day or if we have another girl. If she told me she was pg with a girl i would offer it all to her. She hasn't offered me jack. Does it make me a bad person I'm a little annoyed?
How is the dump doing? I kiss everyone, although I'm sure I see most on fb I still haven't made the connection of real name and screen name.

I hope you're not all weirded out by my re-intro the other day. I just started working from home full time so I was finally able to get back in after the bump app crapped out on me and the mobile pages stopped working. I totally understand if you all think I'm a creeper though. Would it help if I shared my picture with you all?
