Oh wow, well Congrats and good luck! Hope it goes quickly for you!
 
bmom, I love the new car. Trunk is huge, back seats too.

Lolo, don't worry about not connecting with your baby too much. That'll come. And besides, the fact that you are worrying about it means that you do care. Knowing your baby's gender helps, movement too. You'll get there. And (though I'm not saying this from my own experience) once you hold the little one in your arms, you'll be in love.

city, how come you decided to buy a new house? The old one too small? That sure means a lot of work but once you've moved, it'll be great.

Ashley, you're so close... Good luck girl! :)

bmom getting closer too. :)
 
Ooooh Ashley so close!!! Good luck, I hope baby doesn't keep you waiting too long now!

Lolo, don't worry I agree with Katy. Scan pics, gender and kicks were 3 big things that boosted connectivity bewtween me and G. Also making her blanket and cuddle cocoon. why don't you make something for baby. Gender neutral and not too much work. Picturing that little person using it is lovely :cloud9:

Congrats on the new house City!
 
Katy, the new Kias are really so pretty. They have come a long way! I rented one a couple of years back and was very impressed with the quality and handling of the car! Enjoy!! Nw things are fun.

lolo, I understand what you're saying. I felt a bit that way, almost because it was so surreal for me. i almost didnt believe it was true, tho I was so nervous around every corner! Maybe thats why.... Amost afraid to believe/accept that it actually is happeneing. Just a thought.

Cngrats on the new house, City! Another fun project!!

Coco, G is going to look so adorable in that cocoon! Wish I had made one for O.

Good luck AW! Amost there!!

O has her 4 1/2 mo appt today. Time to discuss 'food', but i think i want to wait until she is 6 mo. Anyone have any input on this??

Hi Lolo! Go to bed! Your midnight is my 9 AM! xo
 
I have 6 months in my mind for solids too. I know you should introduce just one or two at a time. Is that right? Carrots and potatoes etc. I think I'll just see what my mummy-dar is like when the time comes. I might give her a bit of mashed / boiled potato and see what happens to it. Down the hatch, round and round in the washing machine or out faster than it went it? I'm planning on taking my cues from my baby and my instinct rather than my doctors charts.
If you want to wait, I don't see why you shouldn't.
 
Doc has un convinced to start now.... The sooner shestarts, theless intolerance later on. Tomorrow, she wants her to have a bit of everything! A fruit (i'm planning on an apple), parmigiano cheese, a veggie, olive oil, some meat (lamb bc that is what I am making tonight), pureed inside of some cream of wheat! We shall see! I am actually a bit excited about it, but am not looking forward to the extra work! i barely have time to vacuum. In fact, we fired our cleaning woman and need to find a new one! (For those in the US, here a cleaning woman costs 7-8€/hour and our home requires only 3 hours. In NYC, i was paying 70$ for space half this size!!! Ridiculous-both extremes actually.
 
I'm glad you're making your own food for her though.
My mum had a whizzer on the go at most meal times. She's just throw in a little bit of what they were having and I'd chow down on that. I used to go mad for liver and bacon with potatoes.
For this reason I don't think she cooked with salt, they just added it to the food afterward or something.
I've seen a good idea for baby food though. If you make up a load of veggies / fruit and you're going to freeze it, freeze it in ice cube trays then put the cubes into a bag when it's frozen, that way you easy portions ready made and easy to whip out of the freezer and use.

Let us know how O takes to this new weird 'food' mamma keeps talking about.
 
I'm thinking 6 months for solid food too. I don't like the idea of store bought baby food, there are too may unknowns like preservatives in the food. I like idea of mashing vegetables and fruits ourselves.
My brother and SIL started feeding my niece solids at 3 months and they had no problems either. But I don't see the need to hurry. If you have enough milk to BF, that's best for the baby anyway.

AFM: I got the firm apartment I applied for last month!!! :happydance:
It's bigger, cheaper (62m2, 210EUR per month) and even closer to work. YAY!
We're actually moving next week. We'll still have to pay the rent for the current apartment for a month or two but it's totally worth it.
 
Wahoo!!!!!!!! New car, new apartment, new baby (not that you had an old baby before but you know what I mean).

Check you out with all your 'new'!
 
I just remember being in love with kylee from the very beginning, I was so excited. This time just feels way different. Last night I stared at little ones face from the scan pic last week and I did finally feel something. I was noticing how baby has daddys big nose, and big lips, and finally felt a lil flutter in my heart. I think all will be ok :)
 
Ashley look at you down to the last week and 1/2--woohoo--do you feel like you have everything ready (Almost asked if you were ready but since I know I'M ready to be done and still have 5 weeks to go that would be a silly question)

City congrats on the new house--moving is a hassle--especially when you are needing to sell your current place too I'm sure.

Sadie I personally wanted to wait until 6 months for solids, Drs. thought Blake needed the extra bulk from introducing solids at 5 months, so I did give in and start him early. We started with rice cereal at a very "liquidy" consistency (used breastmilk as the "liquid") and then thickened it up as he got used to it. I was VERY cautious about only introducing 1 thing at a time and would even spaced it out over 3-4 days just to make sure no problems with the digestion. After that we did baby Oatmeal and then started with veggies and then finally fruits. It does take more time for those feedings and they can get kind of messy!! but then around 9 months when they are better able to do finger foods that will speed things up again. You know her best so do what feels right for YOU!!

Coco we used a similar idea for making Blake's food instead of the ice cube trays I used muffin pans to freeze them so they were "puck" shaped--nice and thin at first so they quickly could be thawed in the microwave, and fuller and fuller as his portion sizes increased. Got that tip from my uncle--least likely person for advice in my opinion but it was one of the most valuable LOL

Katy--Coco is right so much "new" for you--exciting times--I hope the move goes well for you!!

Lolo--I would say with the spotting and your sisters loss your heart is probably just being a bit guarded. After my loss last year it was harder for me to connect with this little guy--and I think it must be different from the first to the second??--I'm glad noticing similarities to DH gave you heart strings some pulls last night and each milestone will strengthen that love--Gender scan is getting CLOSE right. Make that little one some cute shoes--I think that would help too :winkwink:
 
Thanks bmom, I had wondered if it might be some sort of second baby syndrome I was experiencing. And I agree with the spotting and my nephew weighing on my mind. Gender scan on the first, but reveal party not until the 3rd :)
 
Love the advice!

I was told to make a broth for the liquid. Today ibout her the rice and i will introduce one veg mashed and mixed into the rice every few days. Should be fun, yet messy!

Yay katy for the new apt!
 
I know blakesmom! I can't believe that I only have 10 days left but I am so excited and ready in every way shape and form of the word ready! Lol. :)
 
I got to see baby A again today :happydance:
She's doing great. And my cervix is nice and long (around 45mm). So everything looks good. I'm happy.
Morphology scan in two weeks :).
 
Great news, Katy! Any pics to share?

As for feeding O real food, I decided to wait until 6 mos. She is getting everything she needs from my bm. :)

How are you pregos feeling??

Tina W, have you gotten the results from the mri or did i miss the post?
 
I didn't get any pics. But I'm lucky to have seen baby A. You're only supposed to get two US scans during your pregnancy if everything is going well. My GYN just prefers US to a doppler :). I don't mind as I get to see baby A every time :).
 
Sadie, no you have not missed the results. The appointment to see the consultant for the results came through the post today. We find out on 19th November. It was strange seeing Tina W, Williams was my maiden name, I'm now Tina B x
