[BabyDeacon]

[x-TyMa-x]

[katerdid]

Welcome to the leaky nipple club, Baby Deacon!

 

[Phantom710]

mine leak oddly i think. some days the left, other days the right. o.o what's that about?

 

[x-TyMa-x]

How is everyone today x x

 

[katerdid]

Hot, cranky, and tired. It's 90 degrees F here....god, I wish we had a pool. Course, my fat whale a** can't fit into any of my bathing suits.

 

[Phantom710]

lol. pretty good. think baby might be laying on a nerve as i'm getting a kinda odd pinching pain sometimes. he's really wiggly though today.

for bf-ing ladies, what pump u gonna get/already have?

 

[katerdid]

Oh, good question. No clue what pump I'll get. I may not end up getting one...depends on whether I'll be able to BF, if I'll have to go back to work or not, and money situation. TBH, I haven't even looked at any of em.

 

[x-TyMa-x]

Kait - I would love a pool , how lovely would it be, altho ours would hafto be indoor as it rains 90% of the time here

Phantom- Undecided about BF'in yet but ive got te Nuby Pump as it was a freebie .....a fatastic one too

I had my MW app today i asked to be weighed .... ive put on 8lbs .....wasnt sure if that was good or bad for 24weeks but midwife seems to think its fine so am ok about it x

Does anyone else know how much weight they have gained x

 

[katerdid]

Lucky UK ladies and your free pumps!

I've gained 8lbs from my pre-preggo weight also, tho I've lost and gained quite a bit in the process:

am exhausted and at the end of a very short rope today. Adam hasn't napped, with the exception of 1 hour in the pushchair this morning, and I need a break.

as for weight, as of last Sat (I weigh on Sat mornings) I had gained 16lb. not very good.

as for breast pump, last time I bought a 2nd hand Medela Swing (I think) from eBay, and sold it on after. this time I wil probably get the same but new. I didn't have a full supply last time, which wasn't a surprise, but it's important to me to give as much as I possibly can, so I express as well as bf. I'll definitely be getting it before baby is born, so I can start to use it from the beginning.

 

[Phantom710]

5 lbs for me

i'm pretty happy with that.

i've looked at the medela, but then u use emdela bottles? or how does that work? i'll be using playtext bottles so should i get the playtex pump? i'm such a newbie

 

[Phantom710]

Sorry for double post:

but if you could check my new thread out and offer any advice?

What Should I Buy?

 

[Mary Jo]

will have a good look through you list later, phantom, am at work right now - but as for the bottles and the breast pump, I didn't use Medela bottles, we had Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature. I didn't express that much, just what I could, and I used to save what I had in the fridge till there was enough for a chunk of a feed and then used it to top him up after he'd had formula. (in a separate bottle). I actually only had one Medela bottle, which attached to the pump, and when I'd got all I could, I poured it into a small TT bottle and kept it in the fridge and washed the Medela bottle out.

if I was going to be expressing a lot more/exclusively, I guess I might use Medela bottles. but you certainly don't have to.

Hello!

Phantom- nope, bottles don't need to be specific...i dont think. Lol. Last night at work a girl showed me her pump and comes with little bottle things that the baby may or may not like to use....or you can put milk into whatever bottle you'd like. Thats as far as i know, haven't looked at pumps yet....im so scared to think of breast feeding that I dont like to go there yet.

Can I do a brag picture showing of my 3d/4d ultrasound? I just went a little bit ago and was blown away with the animated little baby I am growing. I may have just pictured it in a 2D ultrasound image not doing much, but it was so amazing. I had a tad bit of a problem with bonding before today, but feel much more attached and personal with my baby.

1st pic is funny, cord looks like mustache!
3rd pic holding the cord and thumbs up.
4th pic laughing at us
5th pic long fingers!

These are just a couple. Hard to chose, I got 42 pics on a CD that I can print, also 15 pics printed, and a DVD movie of the whole hour. SO cool!
