Forums New posts
Anyone else overwhelmed looking at all the baby gear??? OMG!!! TOOOOOOO many choices! I do plan on having another child (if i can) so I definitely don't want tooooooo girly but the girly stuff is sooo adorable!! EEK!!
lol

Trying to cheer myself up. I'm having a really BLAH day!

Update: FOB texted me asking if my fb post about people blowing me off when they don't need me anymore had to do with him. I said "if the shoe fits feel free to wear it!" "obviously you feel like you are blowing me off that is why you think my post is about you!"
 
Angel...YES! There is a thread on 2nd Tri about what to buy for baby and I couldn't even read it because the posters were making my cross my eyes. I just keep thinking, "a bunch of onsies, lots of spit-up blankets (whatever they're called lol), some nice blankets, warm coat (for my baby in Michigan winter! haha)....and they're good. hahaha.

It's so overwhelming. Don't even get me started on "how many of what size" ><

btw, I'm going to punch your FOB. Just sayin'.

Bubs, I also wanted to share with you (and the other girls this is relevant to) that I got my free baby sling in my mail box today that you told us about :) . I tried it on, it seemed to fit, guess I'll just have to borrow someone's baby to double check ;)
 
Angel - Oh I know... And don't start reading reviews! I read one review and it gets 5 stars, and I decide I NEED that item. BUT then the next review it gets one star because it makes a weird noise or something, and decide I will NOT buy that item! Gets so frustrating!

Baby monkey - lol... I put my cat in mine and it clearly didn't work! Haha! Obviously my three year old won't fit. But I really like the sling! It seems easy to use and totally sturdy.
 
Angel - :( about FOB. I have no idea what could possibly be going on with him...
 
I got my sling a few days ago and it fit but I need a doll or something to try it hehehe!

Yeah FOB is feeling guilty he knows he is treating me weird and is trying to turn it around on me. I just wish I wasn't in a funk!

I know what I need but the choices are sooooo crazy. I have no one to go baby shopping with its getting to me. :(

And please come punch him he needs a good punch in the face!
 
Wow...tons to catch up on...lets see if I can remember it all since I'm on my phone!

Bubs, I received my sling too and put 10 month old Abigail in it. Didn't seem as secure as the moby wrap but I can still see myself using it for DS. (Ack! I'm going to have a DS! Still sounds so surreal!!!)

Angel, definitely try to go home. Can't believe you are so far away. I'm 40 min from my mom and most says that is too far for me! Lol. I used to be 3 hours and it was awful.

Babymonkey, sounds like you had a great appt. The hb rates rang true for dd and ds. Abigail was always 155-165 and ds is always around 135-145. :)

Afm, my mom and I had scheduled to go shopping today but she canceled last minute so I went to the craft store instead and spent $130 on Baby Aidan's scrapbook/baby book, papers and stickers. Then when dh got home he wanted to go baby clothes shipping so we went to Carters and EVERYTHING in the store was clearance priced. Talk about the best sale EVER!! So we spent $100 on baby clothes and then went to Walmart and browsed their clearance racks but only found two sleepers. Overall I'm happy with what we did buy though!

I just opened mine on my way to work I hope it fits also I bought the car seat cover for winter and it seems very nice! It will definitely keep baby warm
 
Garden - I agree not as secure as the moby, but more convenient! It always took me several minutes to get the moby on and baby it.
 
That's very true! That's the primary reason I switched from the moby to an ergo. Abigail and I LOVE the ergo! And now that my belly is growing a bit, DH has taken to wearing her too! :)

Wish i lived somewhere that needed air conditioning. One day I am in a summer dress and the next I'm wearing jumpers and dungerees.

You are still a sparkler!!!
 
That was the post I missed! Or at least one of them...sorry your ac isn't working! I wish I had ac. I know CA is supposed to have awesome weather and for the most part we do but 80-90° inside the house is damn miserable and it's been like that a lot already this year! I'm not looking forward to when summer officially starts!!

Where is Cali are you? I know last summer where I live was sooo hot! We hit 100 degrees for a record number of days in a row. Our AC at the time was *barely* working an it sucked up energy and raised our electric bill crazy high! We got a new one so hopefully this summer is more comfy for us!
 
I wish we needed the AC but this summer thus far it has rained so much and we have not seen a lot of sunshine :(! It is sunny today though and we did need the ac when we went to St. Louis as Missouri is humid all the time. I know I grew up there. I remember being little, like4, in Long Beach, Cali when my dad was in the navy and we went to the beach a lot and I don't remember the humidity just the sunshine. I am ready for a proper summer here in Minnesota, last summer our AC was on the fritz too so I guess I should not complain as we haven't had to use it yet.
Angel- your FOB is a douche bag sorry
Today we are supposed to bring the crib pieces upstairs and start putting it together, but we need to finish cleaning out the room and such first. I told DH that if we can work on that then we will be ok we have roughly 20 weeks give or take to get it all together, but that doesn't mean we put it off we need to work on it some daily. I promised I would wait for him in moving things around for now on as I get pooped out so easily now.

I just noticed that my ticker says 50% complete now. I guess 20 week mark is just over that then
 
Yay!!!! Congrats Manda <3 <3 :) wooooo team blue! Do you have any name ideas? (sorry if you've posted it before, there are a lot of names floating around out there haha)

Maybe Daniel Thomas or Thomas Daniel or something else entirely. Tempted to come up with a few and decide when we meet him!
 
So DH is driving me nuts on boy names. We are I think on the same page with girl names.

DH's name is Marc. His sister is named Marsha.

The names he REALLY likes are Marshall and Marcus. Those are basically his sister's name and his name. I don't love either of those, but more importantly, I want this baby to have his own identity and not have almost the same name as his dad or his aunt. DH is being REALLY stubborn and rejecting every other name I suggest.

The name I love is Leo. It goes really well with Max, our DS's name. DH does not like it. :(

We are at an impasse. Praying the baby turns out to be a girl so we can stop going round and round about it :(
 
Totally understand how you feel!! DH was determined to name our son after him, hated everything else. I agree kids need their own identity. I told dh that we could use his name as the middle or if it had to be the first name that was fine but I would never call him by the name and neither would anyone else in my family (so then what's the point?). It took about a year or maybe two before he gave up. (This started when I was pregnant with dd.) Hopefully your dh isn't as stubborn! :)
