Id love to be normal average height.
I hate being tall

 

[Likklegemz]

Katie, 6ft isn't that tall now! I'm 5'8 and I like my height sometimes wishes I was a tad bigger.

My feet on the other side are something I'd love to be a bit more normal, I'm a uk size 9 and in some places need a 10!

 

[Itsychik]

I'm 5'2, and always desperately wanted to grow another 3 - 4 inches. I've given up hope at this point though

Long time no talk on my end ladies, just wanted to check in. I had my baby shower this past Saturday andhad a nice time we got tons of huge nnecessities and now need things like towels, diapers, wipes etc. I have my travel system, crib , bassinet, bath tub, swing, bouncer and crib! I cant think of any other large item I will be needing? !?! I also had an appt Monday at 31+3 days littean was measuring a whopping 4pbs 6oz I know it can be off but he has long legs so we will see! Still haven't been able to get any good pictures of him since 24 weeks, all I know is hes a chubby wubby and I cannot wait to snuggle! I have Maternity pics tomorrow hoping they turn out well!

 

[Baileeboo77]

Sorry I repeated myself and for the typos I have pregnancy brain and its late lol

 

[Itsychik]

Bailee- glad you had a great baby shower! I can't think of any 'big items' you still need (although, pregnancy brain here as well!). Do you have bedding, etc for the crib? Baby monitor? Changing pad and covers?

I think the 'only' things we're still 'missing' are: new changing pad, second baby monitor (because I'm not ready to take the other one out of DS's room), baby carrier (I want an Ergo this time around) and some diapers. I think the rest we pretty much have left over from DS or have already purchased/received. Just need to wash alllllllllllllllllllllllllll the things left over from DS (car seat cover, stroller covers, blankets/towels, etc etc).

 

[Itsychik]

Is anyone planning to send out birth announcements?

Here in NL it's "tradition" to do so, so we've started looking at designs and will be picking out the text soon. Makes everything seem so REAL!

 

[Katiie]

We sent birth annoucements with my son!
I'll be doing it again. I kept one.
I think as we are team yellow it makes it even nicer.

We need to get -
- Crib, materess & sheets
- more nappies (only have 1 box atm!)
- breast pump
- comb/brush/clippers set
- buggy handle covers. (The handles are a bit sticky)

... And I think that's it.
Then I need to wash everything including the car seat covers and the pram covers!!!

 

[Katiie]

Resubscribing. Lol

 

[allforthegirl]

I am pretty much ready to go. I know that one of the girls are planning something for me in January but I am not sure now what I am supposed to ask for. The only thing that we need honestly would be a swing or bouncy chair. I am not buying a highchair until way later. So now I am clueless…. Guess baby could always use some new cute toys. I really want those teething beads...

I'm also waiting on a high chair as we'd like a new one but will wait till LO is closer to 5 - 6 months old.

At my baby shower we were given a 'Sophie the Giraffe' teething toy (which we didn't have with DS but they're REALLY popular around here) so I thought that was a nice thing to ask for.

By 'teething beads' do you mean something for the baby to chew on? Or like the amber necklaces?

 

[allforthegirl]

My mom gave me a sophie teether already, I also didn't have this previously. The beads I am thinking of are much like the amber ones, but rubber.

You can get them in all different colours and they are nice to wear. Not tacky looking at all!!

 

[Katiie]

We have an amber teething necklace that was my sons. But he never had trouble with teeth with or without wearing the necklace!

He's still teething now 2 more to go until the back molars.

We have a Sophie teether. It's like a dog toy

 

[Itsychik]

We had our 3D scan this afternoon!

The cord or placenta were in the way most of the time, but we got a few facial pics!

 

[allforthegirl]

Wow those are great photos!! Congrats!!

 

[Katiie]

Beautiful!!!!!

I'm seeing our bubs next Thursday that's a growth scan though. Not a lovely 3D one xx

 

[Masonsbaby]

Beautiful Itsy I think bub looks like your son!

 

[Dancerforlife]

I'm petite too, 5' 2", funny that there's a bunch of us short gals on here

Hubs finally finished painting the nursery so I am anxiously waiting for him to get the painting stuff out of there so I can start going through all of DD's things to figure out what else I still need. We had Sophie for DD but she never took to it, did anyone find that the necklace helps?

Beautiful pics Itsy! Can't believe we'll be seeing our babes so soon!

 

[OurLilFlu]

I agree, itsy, looks like a spitting image of your DS

 

[Katiie]

I'm seriously excited.
How's this for a thought....

Some of our babies may arrive next month x
