I need a drink that can give me energy so I can get. Stuff done

 

[sassy_mom]

Oh all these baby clothes in my living room floor are SOOO cute!!!!!!!!!!

I have now hit that holy crap stage! Sorted through all the baby stuff and finished up my list. It feels a little overwhelming but after reading over it again, I don't think it is as bad as I thought.

The biggest thing we have to get is the cloth diapers and the covers. Right now we have 2 covers and 12 cloth diapers. Good thing it isn't January yet or I would be going insane!

Melly what were your son's height and weight at birth?

 

[mellywelly]

I haven't got a clue what his height was, but he was 6-13 and born at 37 weeks maybe 37+1 but was an emergency cs

Is it cheaper to make pacifier clips or just buy them what do u girls think?

I really need to post some pics! I took a couple bump pics and one today at a Breast Cancer Awareness walk. I put a sign on my belly that said " I wear pink for my grandma" since my mom is a survivor

Feeling panicked but a little better. We bought a crib mattress yesterday and also ordered the changing table/dresser. Dh surprised me and said we should just splurge and get the really pretty matching one from pottery barn! Woohoo!! It's on back order and arrives and gets assembled around thanksgiving. Our glider should be here within a month or so. Tomorrow Lowes is coming out to install the French doors leading into the nursery that are currently sitting in the middle of the room! Once the doors are in I will feel better since that has been a huge project and I'll start to feel a little more out together.

I don't know about length but DH was 7lbs something and my oldest brother was also 7 something, i was 8lbs and something (would have to find out from my mom how many ounces exactly)

OK, I finally got around to posting pics!! Here are my 28 week bump pics and me at the Breast Cancer walk this morning..I didn't manage to do the whole 3 miles but I did do about a mile or so plus a long walk from the car and back. Needless to say, I came home and napped!

 

[Little J]

hey ladies!! im baaaaack!

like Jrow said before im too lazy to read back on everything i missed the pass week and a half! Hope everyone is doing well and nothing crazy happened

The time off was great, but it kinda sucked in a way as when we got back from the cabin we did ceramic tile in the bathroom, kitchen and dinning room... it was more of a headache than we expected, grrrr. It looks nice, but there are some tiles that will need to be replaced as one is already scratched? and a couple others the grout is flaking which makes us think the tile isnt totally stable.... just cant wait for it to be ALL done so we dont need to worry about it anymore and so my house wont be a mess!

I had a fun time with hubby sleeping in and taking naps

We also went to our "caring for a newborn" class. It was very interesting and informational. Those having boys, they ddi bring up circumsision and also had pics!! Hubby is very addamet about getting our little guy snipped, but oh man the pics of them afterwards it looks so painful! (even tho they do numb the area etc) i guess he wont remember anyways. It all became so real in the class and i got SO excited about labor and actually being able to see my little boy

 

[Little J]

OH! and i found a children consignment store right by my house i never knew about!! i found alot of things to decorate the babies room with and i also got a mini snoogle for $12.50!! i LOVE it, makes sleeping so much easier.

and last thing.... (haha) hubby suprised me with our anniversary gift, he said he would like to take us to a 30 week apt at the 3D ultrasound place to see our little man again. I was so excited as he made this extra $ on his own and wanted to suprise me as he knows i love seeing LO and he also is curious what his facial features look like now that they are more defined. We invited the his rents toc ome along as well as i thought it be a nice experience for them and his mother seemed very excited.

When hubby told me what he wanted to do, righta way i thought we should save taht $ but i didnt want to say that because he nevers gets to suprise me with anything as i am in charge on the finances and he sold some things he doesnt use on ebay to get the $ to do this for me/us. I thought it was so sweet

Betheney how much did Eva weigh again, and how long was she? (trying to get a little help with the guessing pool )

Cheater.


Ladies I did the tour of the hospital tonight it was very informative. My big thing now is to figure out how to get one of the 2 huge rooms that have views. the lady said they're first come first serve so I'm thinking I'll hold baby in til one is available. really though they were so much nicer. And they mentioned to us that if you make a $25 donation to the fire station they will give you a free carseat so if anybody is having a hard time financially or knows somebody who is, it's better then a used seat. I'm not sure if it's only local, but it may be worth looking into if any of y'all need to.

Kaiecee it's not like you can't go out and buy them after the baby is born. I realised after having Eva how silly it was getting so frantic about the correct amount of nappies prior to birth. It takes 2mins to call hubby and say "grab some on the way home from work"

In Australia our nappies don't have numbered sizes like 1, 2, 3. They're categorised by weight so newborn nappies go up to 5kgs which is 11lbs. Eva was 3.1kgs (6lb 14oz) and hit 5kg 11lb bang on 2 months. So had two whole months of newborn nappies! Well I actually had 4 because Eva gained no weight from months 2-4. But I mean in Australia if you have a big baby that gains quickly you might be out of newborn nappies really quickly. It all depends on the size of the baby.

Yes baby size makes a huge difference. My son was born in Australia and the newborn size nappies only fitted him until he was 2 weeks old.
