Due In May :)

[Powell130]

I'm jealous of you ladies who already have your cribs. I don't think we're getting ours until the baby shower, along with the changing table && dresser. I want them when we're done painting lol but they are a gift so we don't have to buy them so I guess I shouldn't complain lol

 

[Jary]

That's cool Jary. Sometimes my kicks from the baby tickle too. It's funny because my dad and husband both asked me if the kicks hurt, but so far they don't at all. Maybe by week 40, who knows?

My friend who has a 9 week old baby kept going on about how she would get painful kicks in the ribs. Not had painful ones yet either but uncomfortable ones when baby bounces on my bladder or cervix.

Ah well it's not for long anyway...4 months!

 

[mathgenius33]

Yeah the bladder bouncing can be irritating I guess. As if going to the bathroom every 20 minutes isn't enough. When she bounces on my bladder sometimes it's every 10 minutes, lol.

Something cute, when we went to the Lady Gaga concert a few days ago she was dancing the whole time. I read somewhere they pick up rhythm of music around this time. I was sitting (it hurts my feet to stand too long) and singing along most of the time. I missed a few numbers due to frequent breaks, but it was a good last concert experience. I don't think it makes sense to go to concerts in the 3rd trimester, and then once she gets here we'd need babysitters.

 

[Jary]

Ah I love lady gaga! Wriggles was dancing to something OH had playing this morning. It's sweet when they do a little dance...I keep thinking about how small their feet are whenever I get kicks. It's an brain overload of cuteness!

 

[Powell130]

We're not done painting yet, but almost && I'm excited about it so I'm gonna go ahead and show you the nursery & bathroom so far

Looks great Powell!

Arghhh how is it Monday again?! I know I don't work but I love weekends with my hubby so much that I still get that Monday feeling! DD had been sick hence lack of posts - hope everyone's okay

 

[Jary]

Coming along nicely Powell!

Hann I know what you mean, I still have today and tomorrow off of work but I felt like it was the end of my little holiday last night because OH is back to work today. Love having whole weekends with him. The next two I'm working half the weekend, but it's ok because on the 10th feb we are both off for a week and will be traveling up north to see my family for my birthday can't wait!

 

[Sass827]

Mondays stink. I've been dreading this one. Don't know if it's because my glucose test is tomorrow or because of the crappy weather, or just because I'm uncomfortably large at this point, but I just want to skip this week bIg time.

 

[pinktiara]

I wont be doing a nursery until about 3 months as he will just be in our room in a bassinet than were moving to a bigger place. I kept my sons crib so that's not another purchase woo and we never used his change table so we sold it and the rocking chair I also never used lol certainly saving alot this time around.

 

[mathgenius33]

When are people thinking about starting to use the cribs? I'm kind of thinking about having her sleep in our room on a bassinet for 3 month or so. That's kind of what seems advisable. What do other people think?

Also, I just noticed we're eggplants now (the 25 week group). I'm so excited because I remember months ago being a blueberry and stuff and thinking about how big an eggplant is and it will be so long until we get there. But here we are. My baby is kicking pretty much all the time now and DH has both felt it and seen it. We've never been happier.

 

[Jary]

We want to buy a cot bed and will have little one in the room with us...mainly because we don't have a room for baby in our flat. The Moses basket we'll use for the daytime so bubs will be near us.

My belly has been very jumpy today lol. Baby seems to sleep for a couple of hours then half an hour or so of play time and then another couple of hours sleep! Overall he or she isn't all that active (but I do have an anterior placenta) but activity is increasing a little and I'm not worried if baby is lazy because I know it's normal for he or she. Every now and then tho the kicks tickle and I can't help but laugh!

 

[pinktiara]

Im going by 3 months because that's what we did with our first and it turned out great he slept through the night shortly after I didn't want him getting to use to being in our room either

If I lay my arm on my stomach he kicks me lol

 

[Sass827]

We got a nice bassinet set up for our room. I'm just a bit unsure as to how long we will use it. Our good friend had a baby last month and said that he made so much noise (grunting, etc) that no one could sleep, so they had to put him in his own room pretty early. I want our baby with us, but not if we can't sleep at all.

 

[Powell130]

I'm not sure how long baby will be in the room with us or when he'll go in his nursery for the night. Luckily, a friend who kid just grew outta their crib, is giving it to us so we'll set up that one in our bedroom next to the bed and then there will be the nursery so we'll be ready for whatever Phillip Jr wants lol since it's up to him!

 

[mathgenius33]

That's awesome Powell. My husband and I also want to let our little girl decide what's right for her when she's a baby. They deserve the best and everyone's different.

 

[Jary]

If we had another room I'd put baby in there after about 3 months, I just know that at first I'd want he or she with us when they are very new (it'll be easier when baby wakes for feeding)

It's good you guys are doing what baby wants, I know my mum had bought a lovely cot bed for me but I hated it so she ended up co sleeping. Cot bed was a waste of money for her so I feel bad about it hehe. One of the nurses at work had her little one in a Moses basket at first and when they started putting her in her cot they had the basket in the cot, so she was in something familiar while getting used to her new bed. Worked well apparently.

Urgh, pre work blues today. Really don't want to go back especially when my left hip is starting to play up again.

 

[nearlythere38]

im going to be baby led too with regards to moving baby into her own room. Ive used Moses baskets previously and my boys grew out if them really quickly . this time Ive got a crib so hopefully she can stay with me longer if needed but will depend on how she is and how feeding is going. 14 weeks today until my c-section date, cant wait to meet her

 

[Hann12]

We'll be baby led, we did 3 months with my daughter, not because she grew out of the Moses basket but because she was so noisy at night that we couldn't all sleep together!
I expect it will be similar this time.
Nearly - that's so exciting that its 14 weeks. I'm 26 weeks on thurs so 14 till DD but I think I'll be late so realistically thinking anther 15 weeks. I'm fine with that though!

 

[Powell130]

14 weeks sounds so close!! omg ladies where has the time gone!?
