Ferne, rofl!!! That flyer is really too, too cute!

Quiet group....(but my oh is in another coumtry so I have more time on my hands than you girls!!!)

So i read somewhere that there is a chance our boobs might start to leak at this point.....

 

[Ellie Bellie]

My boobs aren't leaking yet, but I feel like my brain is! I feel like I'm continuously scrambling to do things and not remembering half of what needs to get done. But, honestly, that's not too different from non-pregnant me. I'm packing for FL when I get home tonight and I'm just hoping I remember to pack undies and my toothbrush.... Anything else I can find while I'm there if I really need it. My friend offered to let me borrow some of her shorts while there - I don't think she really grasps that there's a bump to try and accommodate right now....

My boobs arent leaking yet either which is good. Sometimes they just dont pre labour so thats good. Hope mine dont. Mine havent grown since first tri either or at least I dont think they have. Ive been getting loads of braxton hicks though and bubba is getting into a proper routine with his kicks now. x

 

[StarSign]

I don't have a kicker..I have a calm baby roller. That's fine by me. Biggest protest is when I sit leaned forward too much. Then, there's a continuous readjustment that happens until I sit up straight. I'm happy to say no leaks for me right now. And the bra filling has stabilized too. However, I'm still up and down with 'down there' leaks...(sigh).

Did I'm back supplementing my registry. Is everyone kinda done?

Did I'm back supplementing my registry. Is everyone kinda done?

I'm still making a few tweaks here and there. I took the co-sleeper off and replaced it with a pack-n-play since I felt it would have greater utility in the long-run. I took the bedding off when a friend gave me her daughter's bedding. And a few smaller add-ons when I remember something. But seeing as we haven't told anyone about the registry aside from my parents, I'm okay with the smaller changes. Since we're probably going to send out shower invites in about a month, I want to make sure I'm not changing anything at that point on.

Starsign, my baby is the same. When i sit forward, she wiggles. Otherwise, she is a pretty relaxed baby, though I wish she'd move around a bit more... It makes me nervous, tho my doppler gives me a good heartbeat.

I feel like I am battling my first pregnancy cold. It keeps wanting to get worse, but somehow my body is keeping it at bay, buttoday i am feeling a slight congestion in my chest. Nooooooo! I dont want to be sick during vacation, or at all for that matter, ever!!

My registry is kind of finished. I cant really request too much since we will be moving.
i also dont think I am having a shower (except at work and that wont be anything major, like $10 per colleague, but it will sure help!). Who knows. Maybe they are planning something, i guess i will ask my mom next week. Between getting married and having a baby, people are going to hate us!

 

[StarSign]

Nah, they'll be happy for you. However, I personally would expect some combo gifts though.

 

[sadie]

I am going to request baby gifts, even for the wedding. Most of my american family and friends give money, so that will help, but they can definitely access my baby registry if theyd like! I guess i should spread the word that it exists.

 

[sadie]

Anyone know about robitussin being ok?

 

[StarSign]

It seems not. But the simpler the variety- the better.

[sadie]

My doc said i could take it.... Hmmm. I bought a simple one, the pharmacist helped and said the onlything i cant take is a decongestant. This has something else.... What to do?!?!

 

[StarSign]

Smell the steam from chamomile tea.

 

[sadie]

Oh hey! As for tea, what can i drink in addition to chamomile? My mom made me decaf green tea with pomegranate and raspberry. The internet said green tea is iffy. I had a small cup and didnt let the bag seep very long.

I lo e tea and would appreciate some delish recommendations! Tia

 

[Ellie Bellie]

I go for the decaf versions of my usual black teas. I ordered a bunch of yummy flavors from stash.com (vanilla caramel, chocolate hazelnut, chai). There are also good Celestial Seasonings flavors and most of them are decaf as well.

 

[StarSign]

What Ellie said
But also note that breathing the steam of the tea helps with opening breathing passages that are inflamed. Works due to steam + properties of chamomile.

 

[gargoyle]

im due 24th june but had to have emergency c-sec and they ripped my uterus so got to see consultant 2nd april to discuss it. so if i have an elected c-sec could be sooner.

Hi Gargoyle! Welcome to the club! How have you been feeling?

Thanks starsign for the stuffy nose tip! Luckily, i have been feeling a bit better, but will take your advice the next time i catch a cold (hopefully never!!). It is amazing how our body changes (more immune to sickness) now that we're pregnant, to keep us strong for baby.

Meanwhile, florida decided to have really great weather this week and i am enjoying the relaxation. Went to the hotel today to confirm the little details and everything seems in place (like 25 ppl, brunch). Now to find a lovely maternity dress.....
