April Munchkins 2013- enjoying our wonderful babies!

[Steph82]

Maybesoon I know right!!!! WTF?? I am super peeved at the office! I am definately very weary of them now.

Readytomum yeah it was a big relief and the weather didn't help I threatened to get out and walk home 150 miles from home! Hahaha gotta love these pregnancy hormones.

Thanks ladies I am relieved and now to get the custody battle out of the way.

I just planned my very own baby shower after waiting months for OH's mom and sisters to put any plans together(which never happened) I planned it for March 16th at the Grand County Inn in Branson, MO. It is an indoor water park that has a buffet(ALL THE FOOD WE CAN EAT and by WE i mean ME LOL) and would work great with all the kids and us just getting together and having fun before Emme gets here!!

Oh I'm so happy to hear that everything is fine

And I totally would have planned my own shower as well . Good for you! Especially good, because of all the food lol... All you can eat sounds amazing lol

 

[maybesoon]

Mommabrown your shower sounds amazing!

I am fortunate enough (I think lol) that my bff is planning my baby shower. She has been so excited to do it every since we got the BFP!!! We are meeting next Friday to "finalize" the plans. I absolutely love that she is so excited, but at the same time has driven me totally crazy about colors, themes, dates, times etc.... There are days that I think she is more excited about me having a baby than I am.... She keeps up with EVERYTHING!!!!

My doggy was huge too, a big male retriever, not some toy dog, therefore I couldn't stand him doing all the crazy things like that, he was heavy and very clumsy. I knew I would have trouble if a baby came and he was allowed on furniture.

Exactly why I wanted to start being more strict after Christmas with ours,so they know their boundaries - if only oh's were as sensible as we are and thought ahead as much!

Mommabrown- so so relieved to hear everything is perfect with Emmaleigh. It's such wonderful news, and such a weight of your mind I'm sure. Absolutely awful about your original dr basically screwing up, but at least it has all worked out ok in the end (minus the terrifying weeks in between...)

Kirstabelle and littlespy: I had a look at the green mountain diapers website, and their prefolds look amazing - I'm going to search on eBay and online to see if I can get any as they really look awesome. We don't have that look as absorbent, comfy and well made as that here- unless you pay a LOT. And the GM ones didn't even seem so expensive!

Afm...someone at work today asked how long I had left and I said 10 weeks and then afterwards I was really faked out because 10 weeks seems so soon!!!!! It's all coming round so fast!

 

[ooSweetPea]

Yay mommabrown! So happy to hear your good news!!!

 

[ReadytoMum]

Ahh! Our new recliner has finally arrived! ♥ It's green, and soft, and I may never sit anywhere else again.

 

[maybesoon]

I'm feeling like complete & total poop today.........

 

[doggylover]

Ahh! Our new recliner has finally arrived! It's green, and soft, and I may never sit anywhere else again.

so glad it arrived and is perfect! And by my rough calculations, you also didn't have to wait until anywhere close to 6pm, which is always nice when waiting for deliveries!

I'm feeling like complete & total poop today.........

Doggylover I just won my first nappy!! Tots bots solar system print for five pounds got some cloths for wipes too omg its so much fub I cant wait to get them in the post and play with them! Xx

 

[doggylover]

great news!!! It's so addictive though isn't it?! In thebigbundle I won on eBay I got some cloth wipes as well, and they look great I like getting a little bonus when you win the nappies! Fingers crossed it all arrives soon! I'm still waiting for my last few to arrive (including my first grovia which I'm so excited about!) and can't wait!

And the addiction continues! I started buying diapers 2 years ago now and I STILL have to restrain myself. My stash is *way* too big as it stands now but I want more, more, more!

 

[doggylover]

They are just so darned cute, and there is so much choice....

And my LO isn't even here yet! Imagine what I'll be like when I know what gender they are and how much more choice ill have

 

[LittleSpy]

Ukgirl That is exactly how i feel!!!!!! It this point i don't know if it is to late to change OB's or not??? I really loved Dr. Chatelin!!! To bad he is a specialist!

So glad everything is fine!

I would change OBs. I really think I would. I think as long as you have your records transferred, someone better will be willing to take you as a patient. I'd be so uncomfortable with that doctor now that even a stranger delivering my baby would be preferable!

 

[kirstabelle]

And my LO isn't even here yet! Imagine what I'll be like when I know what gender they are and how much more choice ill have

^ Uh yeah, this is me I have been trying REALLY hard to get gender neutral stuff so that I can use it for a second baby. But if I get the alvas I am going girly with them because, whatever they are $5. That's less than a onesie at Old Navy

Mommabrown! I am so, so, so glad that Emmaleigh is totally fine!! The OB nurse woman who I saw for my first few appointments was SO serious about me needing to go and do a dating scan @10 weeks to make absolutely certain we had the dates right before I could do my NT scan at 12 weeks specifically because the window for accuracy with those measurements is so small. And, the NT scan at our hospital is always overseen by a specialist. I know everywhere does things differently, but just wanted to say that this was my experience so that you have something for comparison. I am so mad that your OB put you through this. It is definitely not too late to change. I would want to change just because I am a first timer and I just know I wouldn't trust a word out of her mouth during L&D after the mistakes she made. Hugs to you, so glad you know everything is fine and are planning a fab baby shower. I would be too scared to go down a water slide in my current state. Prob get stuck in a tube

Sorry you are feeling crap today Maybe Soon

Congrats on your cosy new chair ReadytoMum!

I am having a serious craving for tater tots or french fries or hash browns or some sort of crispy potato thing. Oh man. I wish it wasn't so disgusting and rainy and horrid out. I don't wanna walk to the shop! But we clearly NEED crispy potatoes Ugh, you know five mins after I press submit reply I am putting my rainboots on. Dammit!

 

[ukgirl23]

Omg doggylover it was so hard looking at nappies before I knew I was having a boy... now I could go insane on all the prints and colours! I got little blue bordered wipes with chicks on.. Benson is mummies little spring chicken!! I might have to buy him a duck nappy hehehehehehe!!

Maybesoon have you heard from your gp yet?

Readytomum i would kill for a recliner right now Im so jealous xx

Kristabelle I have a chip shop over the road from me.. a dominoes pizza next door to that and up the road a few houses there is an indian and a chinese take away..... I have no idea how Im still alive.. sometimes I find myself staring out of the window rubbing my bump haha xx

 

[maybesoon]

Ok so after talking to the doc they think it's ligament stretching pain & that I probably have a bladder infection (even though it doesn't hurt to pee).... I was told to go home after work, take some tylenol & a warm bath, lay down & drink tons of fluids. If not better in the morning I have a 9:15 appointment. If it gets worse tonight or if I stop feeling Mason move I am to go straight to Labor & Delivery at my hospital............. UGH.... To top that off Audry (step-daughter) was caughing this am. DH just text me stating they think she has strep throat & her mom is taking her to the doc right now. So he will most likely be staying home from work tomorrow with her....

 

[ukgirl23]

Maybesoon Im glad they dont think its anything terrible. hopefully the tylenol and warm bath will sort you out. xx

 

[doggylover]

Maybesoon glad to hear that it is probably nothing too serious. Hope that the warm bath, fluids and rest help.

Kirstabelle, I feel the same about the alvas - most of what I am buying is pretty gender neutral but they are just so cheap it's not too big a deal. Plus they don't do a whole pile of neutral ones that are cute IMO!

Ukgirl oh lord, we love dominos - luckily ours is 20mins away and doesn't deliver so we are way too lazy to go often. I'd be enormous if I were you! I haven't got your self control to just look and not go for it (as demonstrated today in the garage when i was looking sideways at the chocolate and before i knew it, a starbar was in my hand and in my mouth!)

 

[ukgirl23]

Its so expensive in dominoes I think that is what saves me haha I was wrapping presents at xmas and before I knew it one of the kids chocolate santas had been decapitated haha I have no self control if its cheap or free!

 

[doggylover]

So true, dominos is ridiculously expensive. When we do order it, we do it online and google dominos vouchers codes, so we usually get a half off voucher, so it ends up about £15, but that's still so expensive for two pizzas!

 

[ukgirl23]

We get one free if we collect hehehe xx
