Buddies for Late January/Early February Babies!

Forums New posts
Oh I love all those set ups!!

So forgive me cause I'm new to this,but what was your sleeping arrangements when the baby was first born? Not right into a crib in assuming from what you said
 
For DS, we got a bassinet to put in our room and thats what he slept in for the first few months at night. Day time naps were spent in the crib :)

This time around we're getting a mini crib for the baby to sleep in for the first 6 months in our room and then the next 6 in their own room or possibly with DS depending on how he takes it :)


Also, Amanda, I just realized you and I are roughly the same age (you're a little older than me lol)
 
I know I need to look into these things more.
But people don't put the baby in the crib right away? Why not?
I thought I knew so much, now I feel like I know nothing!
Ahh I need your help!! Lol

Oh that's cool! How old are you! Glad to see we are about the same age too, that's fun :)
 
Some people do, but often, 1st time mothers don't simply because they are nervous or want to bond with baby more and often, its easier to go to the side of your own bed to comfort baby when they cry instead of going to a whole other room :) The choice is entirely up to you guys as parents :)

I'm 21, I'll be 22 July 3rd (DS will be 2 on July 2nd)
 
Ohh I see. Makes sense now. Thanks for clearing that up!

Just a few monthes apart! That's awesome
 
Not a problem! I'm happy to answer any questions you have!

I'm so excited to start seeing ultrasound pics (if ya'll are ok with sharing those), because I love to see babies grow! At 30 weeks we're getting the 3D Gift Pack done, I'm sooo excited, we had it done with DS and it came out AMAZING
 
Thanks for the help!
And I'm more than happy to share pictures!!
I was definitely interesting in getting the 3d done aswell! It looks pretty cool
 
Heres one of DS, he looked just like his father from the start! At this place, it was 100$ for a Video + 24 Pics CD, 2 Black and White Prints and an audio clip. At the place we are going now, its 150$ but you get a few more photos and military families get an extra CD that we're going to gift to family.

Oh how precious is that!!
And not crazy expensive either. I'll definitely be looking into that!

Have you have you been with food? I never ate poorly but I'm definitely trying to eat healthier. More veggies etc
 
I'm a meat and potatoes kind of gal, literally 85% of what I eat some sort of meat or starch (usually potatoes or rice) but the rest is all fruit, veggies and the occasional instant soup mix. I'm not really much one for processed food like snacks, candy and such, it just doesn't appeal to me. So all in all I eat relatively healthy, but I could do better for sure.Been loading up on prenatals though to help get a head start while I sort my diet out.
 
I'm the same! ! Never been a snack or junk food person.
I started prenatal vitamins before I got pregnant so I'm going to continue that.
 
This is my prenatal/morning regimen :) (plus progesterone cream)

Wow so much has been said since last night...
We were trying for 9 cycles :)

We have some names that we have been thinking about but haven't decided on any yet.

I'm quite luky because my sister has 2 children and is expecting her 3rd 4 months before me so has said I can have her spare cot, pram etc so I don't think there will be much that we have to buy.
It's so exciting looking though.

I think we are going to pay for an early scan when I get to 8 weeks...
 
Because of my PCOS I'll likely be getting a scan at 6-7 weeks if my blood panel comes back with any sort of abnormality, I'm considered high risk and we have TriCare (for those outside the US who may not know, that one of the best insurances a civilian can have usually) so I can get everything done at the mere slightest sign of a problem,which is good as it saved my son multiple times and it saved me when it came time for him birth.
 
That's so good to hear that you have great insurance like that! So helpful and reassuring I'm sure!

I'm in Canada, so I can always just go to a clinic or hospital for free. And I don't take that for granted. It's amazing the help you can get.

Flourish I'm happy you finally got your bfp!! That's awesome you have your sister too. We live on the other side of the country from all our families (cause of navy). So we are hoping for gift cards!!
I found these mugs at Walmart.

They say "I love grandma" or "I love grandpa". Only 10 dollars. Thinking of getting that for my parents to tell them.
Dh has no idea how to tell his. His mom and sister are probably going to flip their sh*t and want to kill me. They are very judgmental, opinionated people. They'll come around. Dh is supportive saying he will stand up to them should they say anything.

I know you already have 1 child, navy lady. How did sharing that news go?
 
Thats sad on his mother and sister, but I feel that as my husband is always at odds with his mother, they haven't spoken in 3 years and she has never met our son, nor do we want her to as she has very bad addiction problem and mental problems and has physically attacked me for "stealing" her son. I was 14 at the time. (We've been together for a while lol)

We actually publicly announced today and it went brilliantly!! My grandfather wasn't to pleased, but he never is about babies until they're born, so I know he'll come around, he adores DS. We called the parents and grandparents to share the news personally but everyone else found out via facebook with this:

I also own my own business, so on my Facebook page I shared this:

I LOVE that announcement with a January baby!!! I am having a hard time not telling people - 2 of my friends recently had miscarriages at 12 weeks so I am a little scared to announce on Facebook this early. But oh I wish I could!!!

I feel very lucky to have Canadian Health Care as we do not pay for much up front, although wait times for specialists can be horrible. But it is hard to have the best of both worlds.

I love love love your nursery set ups! I can't wait to start planning mine. First one!! I told DH he has to paint the baby room (our spare room right now) as soon as he is done Seeding on the farm. (So mid June)

I really can't wait to tell my DH's family because it will be their first grandchild! My parents already have one granddaughter but she is 5 so a new baby will be exciting, plus they have all known since we started trying that we were struggling so I think it will be an emotional announcement. I think I will send my Sister & SIL an edible arrangement with the news like "I can't wait to meet you Aunty - Love Baby H" or something to that effect. My Sister lives about 8 hours away so I won't be able to tell her in person and my SIL and my brother have been trying to have a 2nd baby for 4 years with no luck, so I want to give her the opportunity to let the news soak in before I see her in person.

I have had mild crampy feeling this morning but nothing serious, I haven't really been hungry at all but when I do crave food I have been craving homemade bacon cheeseburgers and curly fries - not healthy at all. Luckily I have always loved fruit and veggies so I still am eating that during the day. I am trying to make Chicken & spinach wraps for work loaded with veggies as that is all I want to eat during the day. :)

Sorry for the novel.
 
It was the same with us, Hopeful. We tried for 13+ months with DS and our families knew we were trying so it was very emotional to finally announce we were pregnant.

I'm glad you and Amanda are in Canada, I've heard their health care is wonderful!!

I'm hungry but not hungry this morning, which is always a weird feeling haha. Little nauseous but a preggie pop helped that.

I'm going to the Dr again today to fill out some paper work (the transferred me to the High Risk center that partners with them) and do another, more in depth, blood panel just to be sure that all my hormones are in check, mainly my progesterone (which is what helps sticky bean stick)
 
Oh!! Have you ladies come up with a "nickname" for baby yet? I'm contemplating "Peanut" as it was my fathers nickname and I really feel its another boy, but Peanut is still unisex, hubby calls it Sweet Pea cause he thinks girl. We called DS as "AJ" until we found out gender because for a girl he was Arabella and James was his middle name for a boy so we came up with AJ.
 
Sorry I can't respond to everything here, I'm starting work. But I loveeee the "little sailor joining us announcement!! And I'm sorry about your mil :(

Yeah Canadian health insurance is amazing.

I will respond more after work but I didn't want to read and run!
I packed myself a healthy lunch today. Happy to take care of myself!

We are just calling it appleseed right now, cause that's where it is om the fruit chart. Aha. Maybe we will have another nick name as it goes along.

Have a wonderful day ladies, ttyl! :D
