DD2 has done so well with potty training, I was worried all the craziness with DH's surgery would derail her. It's still hard to help her with the potty while dealing with the baby, but I'm relieved to only have one in diapers.
annbuhdan, ok, thank you, because while I am 100% in agreement with you on that, you just made me laugh. I needed that.
I think we (a handful of my family) are holding onto today for birthday because then both my girls would be sharing birthdays with deceased family members. Sorry if that is creepy, upsetting, or weird to anyone! DD1 shares with my mom's brother, who passed the month before she was born, and today is my maternal grandmother's birthday, who lived to a ripe old mid 90's before passing a few years ago. The continuity just feels good, even if I am not super close to all my extended family.
Aaaand my cousin, who was due 4 days ago, her lovely little boy is a month old now. It is hard to believe its been a month since she had him already!
MrRama and I are going to go to a mountain resort this weekend, courtesy of his work! They're having a holiday party this evening, so hell yes free food.
We got home last around 5pm, and both sets of parents came over for a quick visit, but other then that we've been vistor free. It's been nice to have the peace and quiet while we get settled in.
I just found out my friend took a screenshot of my son while we were facetiming and she posted it to facebook. I'm livid. It wasn't malicious, but I don't even have facebook and I don't share photos of my son. I'm trying to calm down before I call her.
Oh my gosh, this stuff drives me nuts!! My MIL did something similar.

So sorry! It took ages to convince my brother not to post photos of my kids.
I sometimes remind him we live in a state where he needs consent from both parents to post photos. He's a lawyer so it's half a joke.

Not at all creepy. I was hoping C would share a bday with my grandfather, with whom I was very close. Her name is a derivative of his, too

Woah. That is not friendship. 😡 You can have FB remove pictures on your behalf, FYI.
hannahbeargratefulgirl I think the worst part is that she basically sleuthed me. It wasn't a photo I sent her and it wasn't a photo she took in person. She took a snapshot of like..my homelife and posted it online.
And I can't even address it right now because they are currently experiencing a family tragedy as of this morning. Since I'm not a total jerk I have to wait a few days. I wish I could ask one of her fb friends to report it.
I'd be absolutely livid and depending on the tragedy may ask for her now to remove it if she put any details with the pic.
That being said, I don't Facebook or post pics of my kids there or let others BUT part of my concern is tying a location to my kid (embedded in the picture code when you take it w an iPhone) or even my name or identifying details.
Also, I truly think some people don't "get" it, so I'd try to call yourself before talking to her. I doubt she realized it would upset you.

I do want to find out what details she posted with it. I'm not sure she even knows how to spell his name. She has no birth details at all. Not even his birthdate. She's from my hometown 2k miles away so all location info would be there, but I'm getting all my information 3rd party so the details are murky. I did ask her did she post a pic and she told me yes, but then started talking about what she's currently dealing with so I'm letting it be for now. It's been up for a week so I don't think a few more days will make a huge difference. I'll try to spoiler the family thing. Upset as I am, my issue seems a bit less urgent than hers.
@suesposa that's a difficult situation on both ends! I do find it weird that she'd post a photo with your baby on Facebook if you aren't even on it...which suggests you don't want your life broadcast on that platform. Also, I'm sorry to hear about her situation too.
Mommy daughter date to get acai smoothie bowls started off great! DD was so excited for time with me and for her treat. Then during the car ride home, she threw it all up. She got it all over her arm and clothes...when I picked her up, she looked so upset.
Tomorrow is my 30th and we have family photos. I hope it all goes well and R is not cluster feeding and grumpy the whole time like DD was during her photos. My kids are born small (DD was 5 lbs, 14 oz and R was 6 lbs, 4 oz), but they grow like weeds outside the belly. R gained two pounds already and he's 3 weeks old on Sunday.
shanny, hope your DD feels better. Happy early birthday and I hope the pics go well!
DH hasn't been able to help much after his surgery because he can't lift the kids. It's been exhausting to do it all. Luckily today he stayed downstairs with DD1 during nap time, DD2 & 3 both slept so I got a nap too. It was only an hour but it felt amazing.
@suesposa, ugh sorry a pic ended up on FB. I'd let it slide for a bit with what she's going through, but completely understand why you're upset. Tough situation
