Re: Facebook. My other BMB has been together for almost 4 years and is still going strong. While many of us are friends on FB (and on IG and IRL, too!), we do our posting on a private board on TCF. I love it. It's great to be able to share pictures, names and details, while still offering some anonymity to those who want it. Just a thought!
Thanks everyone, went with my gut and called my crew, they've stuck around and only getting stronger. About 5 min apart according to my app but still manageable.
I want to support the forum, but I'm hesitant to post anything too personal on a public forum (such as baby name or pics). I feel like I've already shared enough personal details that if someone were trying to find me they could have connected the dots and sometimes it freaks me out.
I like the idea of having a private board on here though - could we do that?

I also like the private board idea. For pretty much the same reasons.
Also, if y'all move to Facebook I won't move with you. Sorry. I took me while over a year to give my IG up to my other BMB. Plus this place is great and I would hate for this to be another board that died off. We should be active in case someone finds one day and then we get more members. As far as names and pictures and things like that. Just move all of that to a private board and have someone change the password every now and again. That way we fee protected. That's what we do on my other board. We have our HDBD on the private board. I don't share pictures of my kids publicly.
Anyway... so yesterday OB told me T's head is really low but I got nothing going. I'm both happy and sad about this. Also, she did the GBS test in my vag not my butt. She did give me a scare because she was all "did I mention I will be traveling for a few months soon." I was like what... nooooo... then she said May so she won't be able to do my follow up appointment! Lol! Oh. That's fine. Whatever to that but you must deliver my baby!!
I finished a big work project that was weighing on me this weekend! I also met with my long term sub and handed over all my lessons/plans and he feels ready (as ready as he can feel anyway) to slide in and take over when baby comes.
I'm beginning to feel less freaked out (work-wise) about leaving!
Max slept pretty good but I cannot stop coughing at night, and at one point my throat hurt so bad I took some ibuprofen just hoping it would help. (After already taking cough meds.)
Still pretty sure it's just a cold but the timing really sucks.
We are home! L stayed in NICU for our entire stay. They discharged her in time to come to our room to be dressed and carseat check done.
We have to take her back tomorrow morning for a blood draw and consult. She has an allele (that I cannot remember the name of) that can cause her red blood cells to degrade. They want to follow up on that, as well as her bilirubin levels and other usual stuff.
AFM, I have to go back for a brain wave scan and then follow up with the neurologist again.
I am healing really well from surgery. Still feeling it but managing fine with Tylenol and advil. I am loving not having my lady bits in disarray. So. Much.
C is pretty much shunning me right now which makes me really sad but I am just trying to act normally and believe it'll pass.
obi So happy to hear that you and your little girl have been discharged! I hope that both of your followup appointments and testing show that things are okay/headed in the right direction.
+1 to being shunned by my "big" kid at first. He's still alternating between being distant and overly clingy, but things have improved since baby brother and daddy came home. It's a lot of change all at once, so I expect this is just a very normal part of them adjusting to things.
I would probably not join a FB group but I would do a private board here. I don't mind sharing some stuff and poofing details out a few hours later. I am pretty diligent about poofing stuff I want gone.
Don't be afraid to guard your privacy in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I love my first BMB (May15) but the biggest lesson I learned from there was to GUARD YOUR PRIVACY. It's okay to trust no one lol. It is okay to wait a long time before you trust someone.

This. My first bmb actually had a kind of serious stalker situation pop up after moving to facebook.
This feels like it's taking forever, and I'm getting so impatient! Contractions are about 7-8 minutes apart consistently and have been all morning, so we're going down to the little town near us to walk around a bit. I'm ready to get this show on the road!
Yes go walk! And good luck!! I'm your buddy today haha
@justinslovo caercallmeKD I didn't know there was a private board option! At some point, this might be nice. I was thinking how I don't like sharing photos are here Bc anyone can look at them. But, Im also fine just sticking around here and not posting photos...
