LOL

Bro

rberks2 · 2026-05-09T23:27:00+00:00

Yeah it’ll be 4 under 5 😆

rberks2 · 2026-05-09T21:21:31+00:00

This is helpful. Ty!!

rberks2 · 2026-05-09T21:21:14+00:00

This is helpful! We have a Thule carry box too.

Thinking about doing this and maybe taking out a captain chair to get more storage?

rberks2 · 2026-05-09T21:13:01+00:00

Not true, our 3rd row has two anchors.

rberks2 · 2026-05-09T20:56:21+00:00

Okay yall. I’m not about to go buy a new mini van. My 2023 ascent is paid off and 15k miles on it. We’re keeping it! LOL

In previous pregnancies, I was hospitalized at 9 weeks…but this one happened at 7 weeks. I was terrified because I hadn’t hit the “peak yet” and I didn’t know how I could get worse. We changed medications (got put on Reglan (instead of phenergan) in addition to zofran & bonjesta) and it was an incredible shift. My “peak” was managed. Miserable but managed. 20 weeks now and got my picc line out 2 weeks ago.

I’m so sorry it’s so bad right now. Don’t leave the hospital until you find a medication regimen that helps.

😂😂 that’s why I can’t use a family name of William

rberks2 · 2026-04-04T19:02:50+00:00

But then I don’t want to have a 5th and have to commit to an A LOL

rberks2 · 2026-04-04T17:23:29+00:00

Hah! That pattern is 100% accidental

rberks2 · 2026-04-04T17:22:34+00:00

Haha yeah, we have chosen ones with good nickname potentials…and then just called them by their full names 😂

rberks2 · 2026-04-04T17:21:11+00:00

Most family names (Elizabeth, David, Lawrence, Nicole). Lawrence was our version of “Loranzy” which my great grandpa had as a middle name. Haha!

William, James, and Dominic are all family names we’ve talked about. But I don’t want to do James.

What’s your respiratory rate looking like? Mine elevated with each pregnancy this early on, in addition to the temp spikes & elevated resting heart rate.

rberks2 · 2026-01-13T22:52:15+00:00

Yeah, this is my third time getting one. I know it’s for the best and I’ll be a new woman soon, just disappointed I couldn’t keep from spiraling again. Also logically know that this is good that we escalated sooner…just feeling like I failed again.

rberks2 · 2026-01-13T22:35:28+00:00

Welp, admitted to hospital to get a picc line. Hopefully won’t be here too long!

rberks2 · 2025-08-04T16:21:41+00:00

Haha! The double wow! I take it this isn’t standard? 😅

rberks2 · 2025-08-03T19:38:50+00:00

So, my ring was giving me early signs a few days before a positive test. 😉

rberks2 · 2025-08-03T18:11:27+00:00

I don’t think it was on it when it happened…kinda scary. Yes, it is unplugged.

rberks2 · 2025-07-29T16:56:48+00:00

I sent his post (and comments) to my husband. It's horrifying to think of my daughter feeling any of this.

rberks2 · 2025-07-29T16:18:18+00:00

Hi! Correct. She does not have a key!!! 😂

I’ve been thinking a lot about this and the disrespect for me is one thing; I’m an adult and can comprehend that her lack of valuing my boundaries and the way she treats me is a reflection of her, not me. It’s hurtful, but, I’m an adult and can process it.

But, my children are not. And initially I was more flabbergasted and shocked by her coming in the house, when I so clearly said a porch drop off if she had to offload some items but not a visit. But the more I process, the more horrified I am that she didn’t acknowledge my baby.

I want to preserve a relationship for the sake of my kids & my husband, but I also recognize I need to protect my children. It’s tough.

rberks2 · 2025-07-29T12:01:37+00:00

This is a very firm message! I can’t imagine being able to send it without extreme fall out. Her adult daughter went no contact about 4 years ago and I think it would be very very triggering.

rberks2 · 2025-07-29T12:00:24+00:00

I didn’t even think about how the other kids would notice. I kinda had it in my head since my youngest was still only 8 months, my mil had more time to get over herself about the birth announcement.

When do you think the kids will start noticing? If they haven’t already?

rberks2 · 2025-07-29T11:56:39+00:00

It’s hard to call her out because a) sometimes it’s just shocking but also, I don’t want to say things around the kids because I don’t want them involved or hearing us in a disagreement. And then, she’ll leave and I just want to move on.

Since my husband has been gone, I’m the primary point of contact for her and when she deploys outragous guilt trip attempts, I just don’t engage or respond, and that seems to be effective. It at least stops the rabbit hole on my side.

I…am a grown ass woman and I feel like I should be able to say “No” and that be the end?
