Ooh babyforme just gave me some more questions...lol

What kind of bottles will you be using and why?

Also what about a doctor for baby/pediatrician? When should I make an appt with one? Just a lot of things I don't know as a 1st time mommy and I want to be sure it all gets done and done right. Thanks again.

Yayy you got your crib - congrats! I just found out Babies R Us takes non expired Bed Bath 20% coupons - if you didn't use one run back, I'm sure they'll price adjust.

When you register at Babies R Us, they give you a coupon for a free Similac bottle. I'm going to try that first and if she doesn't like it, I'll try other brands. My sister bought the whole Dr Browns system and her baby refused to use it so I figure I'll just try different things to see what sticks and then buy the system.

I'm having 2 baby showers because my parents want to invite a bunch of people and there are some indian traditions that we have to do. We're having them early - a friends one on 9/8 and the family one on 10/6. I figure this will give us plenty of time to figure out whatelse we need.

I have no idea about the pediatrician either. They asked me at my 12 week appointment and I felt so stupid for not having an answer. I have a friend who is a few months ahead of me so I'm waiting to see who she picks Call your hospital - they might offer classes and can tell you when to take them.

I just realized my ticker is at 20 weeks! Yayyyy!

Ooh great to know about the bedbathandbeyond coupons! That could be really helpful! I do have a hospital schedule for classes but I'm not sure which one to register for I'm thinking the one at 31 weeks? I'm not sure though if thats too early or too late? I do have a pediatrician in mind. He seems to be really popular in the area and he was actually DH's doctor and we know him personally as he lives near us and we went to school with his son. I'm just not sure when or how I should contact him. Do I call up and say....Hey I'm 20 weeks pregnant wanna be my baby's doctor?! lol

I'm considering a shower in September or October but I have conflicting schedules from family and friends because of weddings vacations, etc. I'm sure I could find one day that everyone will be ok with but I just don't know what the norm is about when most people have them.

Yay! Congrats on the 20 weeks sigh! And thanks for answering my questions as well!

Hey ladies!

I had my scan this morning and found out I'm on team blue again. I must admit I was gutted when the sonographer said 'I'll be able to recycle the old baby clothes again'. But the disappointment was short lived and I was happy to know that he is growing well and is actually measuring 20+3 weeks.

I was absolutely convinced that this was a pink bump especially as all my early symptoms were a lot more intense than last time. But oh well..looks my instinct was wrong!

Aaaw congratulations Sharan,welcome to team xxx

 

[goldie66]

Im team ! Very happy though now im outnumbed in our house. 4 males (OH, baby, 1 dog and a cat) vs 2 females (me, dog)

Sorry it took so long to update Ive had a bit of an emotional day. Scan was going perfect; growth is fine- right on target (so happy as I was worried with my no weight gain), heart is perfect. He was showing us his big toe aswell lol.

However there was an abnormality found in the brain. We have to go for more scans on wednesday. At the moment they cant really tell us anything which is so hard. He was wriggling around alot, kicking us, punching, clapping, moving his mouth, so it may just be that they couldnt get a proper reading with all the movement... or it could be a number of things.

Meeting with the specialist on wed pm to get rescaned and have a chat. Fingers crossed please What is interest is whatever they found its a spot that has only been added to the 20 week scan 8 years ago so many people will have whatever my LO has without ever knowing it. But.... I dont want to be grasping at straws. Just a waiting game at the moment. xxx

Aaaw congrats on team .

I hope you get good news on little baba, big xxx

My Scan went great today and we are still team PINK!!! Baby is about 10 ounces today and from the pictures her legs look so much longer than last time. Doctor said that she was measuring perfectly and everything looked great. He did say that they saw a calcification on her heart, but it was nothing to worry about. He said he has seen it many times and never once has it turned out to be anything. They are planning to do another scan at a later date to be prove to me that its nothing. As for me, my blood pressure is great! (115/55). This is a great relief to me since the past two years it has been high (140/90). I still lost weight again, but again they told me not to worry about it. I have lost 13 pounds altogether. Ill post some scan pictures and maybe the a Bump picture. I havent taken the first bump picture, but i think it might be time to start now.

aaas congrats on team xxx

Hello ladies.

Just been shopping after my scan! All is good and we are team a little boy!! Just what I thought it was and what we hoped for! We're thrilled! I cried lots!!!

uuuuck congrats Toothfairy on team xxx

 

[goldie66]

My scan was at 11 and we are team pink! So shocked. Our families are so happy. I knew there was a reason I doubted it was a boy after a while though... Doctors want me to come back in 3 weeks because they only got pics of 1 siide of the heart and they couldn't get a profile pic. Baby kept her hands in front of her face and kept turning away. She's camera shy. The pictures are awful. So that is why I have to go back. The doctor said that baby looked good though and they don't think there is anything wrong. Also this place has my due date on Dec 9th? My doctor said he isn't going to change it from the 6th because it is close and they go by measuremnts not my lmp. He says baby will be up to 2 wks early or 2 wks late anyway so the 9th is close enough to the 6th.I just have to come back to finish the measurements and again at 32 weeks because of my AFP being .03 too high They just have to check baby's growth but so far it's right on. I DO have an anterior placenta so that is why I feel it less often and not as strongly. I was soooo nervous I actually had a small panic attack during the ultrasound. I felt like such an idiot. It was quick though and baby is ok so I will relax for a little while. DH and I went to buy the baby a few girly outfits and the furniture. Very excited.

Congrats toothfairy!

Hey everyone,

Ive updated the team pinks and blues on the first page. I have been avoiding the site all weekend, to be honest, ive been avoiding most baby talk all weekend, so if Im missed your announcement im sorry! Can you just let me know and ill add you.

Our follow up scan is on wednesday and it seems so far away. My OH has done some research on the net and *IF* its all correct then hopefully baba will be ok. The waiting is killing us, but then alot can change in a week. Trying to stay positive.

 

[kellycontrary]

Bought a buggy Friday! I thought husband would pass out giving over the money for a seat he is never going to sit in haha! We were going for a Quinny buzz through recommendations but ended up getting an oyster buggy. Will be here in a couple of weeks! My parents are buying the maxi cosi car seat for us in September.

Tomorrow is d-day! I still think its a girl, husband convinced its a boy... Cannot wait to find out!!!! X

 

[nickibrum]

Good luck! How exciting.
