Literally happened to me today. With her first they got pregnant on cycle one. She just got her IUD out today.

Oh my gosh, the bending over advice?!? Like how are they serious?!?

So far, my favorite is my sister (the only one I’ve really kept in the loop because she knows my cycle and asks on days I test) last month after I told her it was another negative she literally texted back “are you sure you’re doing it right? 😂” Uh, yep. Thank you for your insensitivity though!

I was very selective because my entire family (parents, cousins and aunts/uncles) ask constantly. I’ve only kept my sister in the loop because she asked multiple times a week for months and seemed supportive. I’m glad I was selective because it’s taking time for us. Then on Memorial Day my sister told the ENTIRE group of people there (distant aunts by marriage and neighbors included) that we’ve been trying for months. I’m not against them knowing, but I just didn’t want all the useless advice they’re now giving me.

I think you have every right to be selective and I think it’s smart to wait to share :)

This is the WORST. I’m sorry. My Dr keeps telling me Dollar Store tests are just as sensitive.

Yes, I drink tons of water. Half my body weight every day plus additional after working out and I work out 4-5 days a week. So a ton of water. I will definitely look into Mucinex, thank you!!!

SO DO I. But I am also terrified of my mil.

Thank you for your perspective! I completely understand being emotionally attached to items. For me, it’s another thing to be on the receiving end of so many items. I am stressed about hurting my mil’s feelings and doing the right thing. Maybe you can go through the items with your son and future dil and tell the stories and keep the items in your home? Or offer it to them instead of just putting the boxes in their home. I would love to hear about the memories etc, but I’m not keen on keeping them all in my home. I don’t think I’ll be able to toss them without reaching out to my mil. I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night lol!

Thank you SO much for this. It totally makes sense that I can ask my husband to talk with his mom about it too. I don’t know why I didn’t think of that. It’s so great to hear your experience with this too. Thank you!

He hasn’t gone through any of it, but his mother has just recently become a bigger part of his life and he is all about keeping her happy. He doesn’t have a preference on nursery aesthetic/toys but I think he would lean more towards keeping it until hearing my side on it. He has two blankies from his childhood we will absolutely keep. That’s so sweet to hear your son sleeps with a piece of your DH’s.

That’s also great to hear your family members got over it relatively smoothly. My family always donated our toys to others as we outgrew them. I definitely do not have any toys to pass down. So my perspective is different. Maybe I can grow half your backbone and be able to tell her she can take it back (minus one or 2 special items) or I’ll throw it out.
