February 2013 Love Bugs

[babydreams85]

hi all
has anyone thought of names for baby yet ?

Yep, we have ours picked out! He already has a few monogrammed items too!

hi! I am due in Feb 2013 too! But I am really confused because, both the doctors i visited predicted 1st Feb! But my 1st ultrasonogram said 14th Feb! And when my last ultrasonogram 4m lat week said 2nd feb!

I was charting, temping, using OPKs, etc. when I conceived, so I am fairly certain of my due date (Feb 21st). However, according to my first ultrasound at 6.5 weeks my due date is Feb 23rd, and according to my 12 week ultrasound my due date is Feb 17th. Who knows what my 19 week scan will say? There is definitely some variation in the dates!!

We got our crib set. We found a crib that converts into a day bed and then full size bed, a changing table, and 4 drawer dresser for $150. A girl at work was selling the set. Its it great condition too.

wow you got a bargain there !

Yes definitely. The dresser alone is worth more than what we paid. She included the matress and box spring too.

We have Skyelar picked out if we have a boy. My husband is stuck on Zoey for a girls name, but I'm up in the air with it.

what is tounge tie?

Yeah, never heard of this..Anyone? Wondering if this is a UK term...I think you all use the word thrush to describe a yeast infection down south where as we just call it a yeast infection we use thrush to describe yeast infection in the breast typically related to nursing in the US. Am I understanding this right?

I will be mostly disappointed about the benefits and $$$ saved if I can't bf (and the added calorie burn ugh!) but will go to formula if need be I think people just do what makes sense for them. Some people are uncomfortable with bf or can't and I am sure their babies are just fine.

Hey lovely ladies!

Well I plan on BFing since this is my first child so I should really experience both so I could be able to decide which is best.. I don't plan on BFing for too long only a few months, so I will then introduce bottle after around 6-8 weeks as some lovely mummies advised above thanks!

Also about baby names, I have nooo idea and I am starting to get worried hehe, a girl is so difficult to name because there are SO many choices lol (any tips? )

I'm going to check out the avent microwave steriliser- sounds good and prefer no chemicals!

I deal a lot with tongue ties (working in dentistry) and I must say severe ones that interfere with feeding/speech etc are very unusual. Most people don't even realise they have them. A tongue tie is when the bit of skin that looks like it attaches your tongue to the bottom of your mouth comes closer to the tip of your tongue. For most people the amount of increased attachment does not hinder them in anyway but obviously on here there have been a few more severe ones! Cutting them is simple but for a baby would involve a general anaesthetic so is only done in extreme cases because you don't want to put a baby through it. That is what I know from my training and working in the UK!!

 

[Farida_2013]

Well, I cooked red kidney beans today with tomtoe sauce and rice, then ate a yoghurt the a kiwi..

I sat for a bit then suddenly I had to throw up... And I did.. all of it

I have never suffered Morning sickness in this pregnancy so I am sure this is either food poisoning (but syptoms stopped after throwing up) or somethng in the food.. I am so worried I hurt Beany somehow..

 

[Nixilix]

No anaesthetic needed to cut tongue tie when baby but needed if left. DD. was snipped and took 30 secs.

for sterilisers, I had a microwave TT one that could be used for cold water sterilising too

I'm not getting a microwave one again, the amount of times I burnt my hands getting the damn thing out of my microwave

No need for a GA for little babies to have a tongue tie snipped, it is needed once they hit 8 months ish though https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/tongue-tie/Pages/Introduction.aspx

 

[Jembug]

For some strange reason I was sick twice last night! Still, it got me out of sex! Ha ha, anyone just not interested? I fancy my husband like mad but just don't feel the need for sex.... Oh dear xx

 

[Wiggler]

I've not been all that interested since I was pregnant with Dylan Poor OH x x x

 

[AmeliePoulain]

My daughter has a tongue tie we didnt get snipped (because we managed to get through the really difficult feeding phase and as she grew it relaxed) - she still has a weird 'heart' shaped tongue though. When she was born it actually looked forked like a snakes tongue!!!!

I think we have decided on a name for this new little girlie - going to make sure she is definitely a girl still at 20 weeks before getting really attached to the name though

 

[Wiggler]

We have names picked Lucas for a boy and Sophie for a girl. I'm shocked at how easy it was to pick names this time, I changed my mind so many times with Dylan and Bethany was a stand in name until we found something better x x x

 

[Midnight_Fairy]

We have a name and a back up name just in case change mind hehe. Its so hard choosing a name but you will know when you get the right one.

Oh I love the smell of milton haha none of my 2 minded it but then again they didn't care as long as they got fed (still a pair of gannets!) I couldnt get on with the other sterilisers at all! I have no idea why!

very little interest at all DH getting pissed at me. First 10 weeks I was terrified, now I'm just so tired

 

[PerpetualMama]

My daughter has a tongue tie, it made bf difficult because she had a shallow latch and didnt take much milk at a time. We got through it and I just had to feed her a lot it felt like!

I was lucky it never hurt badly thankfully.

It is one of the only things I actually dream about to do with this baby, is giving them their first ever feed. I think I just feel so much more relaxed going into it this time because I have an idea what to expect and I believe in myself more.

I think that applies for bf and ff, it is great feel like you know what you are doing!

I agree! First time bf was a learning experience. I had so many problems with first DD, but by he time babies 2, 3,4, and 5 came along I was a pro. I dream of that first feeding too! Twice out of 3 dreams. Once I accomplished it and the other time they were bottle feeding and then took the baby and I was searching for him high and low in order to establish my milk supply. I will definitely bf this one (God willing all will be ok with baby and I can).
Those of you who don't want to, don't feel put down! Plenty of wpmen chose not to, and their babies are fine look at me (or not, lol) ...I wasn't bf

 

[yellow11]

I'm being sick again too
I hadn't been sick in almost 2 weeks and then last night....WHAM out of the blue, vomiting again
Thought it was done with.

 

[SweetPea0903]

Its strange, I didn't get any ms the first tri... But in the past week I got sick a couple times...

 

[Seity]

I always want sex. I just don't get it very often. It's harder to orgasm now than earlier in the pregnancy though.
We don't find out the sex for another 11 days. We'll start considering names after that scan.
I hope anyone who's sick feels better soon.
I've been feeling great. I even squeezed in a quick workout yesterday while my son was napping.
