[Little J]

babyhope- sorry about the GD diagnosis....but good luck with the job interview in the near future!!

Kaicee- Hope it doenst come down to insulin, needles suck especially if your not used to them

Nik- Very cute baby shower pics!

So lastnight hubby and i put together the pack-n-play and when we went to put it back in its little "case" it was SO annoying. We couldnt figure it out!! its like trying to put a tent back in its bag!! We have a Graco with a changer and napper attached. we tried youtubeing how to do it but we couldnt find any that had our attachments. So we gave up because we were both at our wits end and are just going to use our biggeer duffle bag to tote around the pack-n-play. They need to make those carry bags bigger..... im telling ya, pain in the rear!

Little j..was it the blue with tan circles?! Thats the pack n play we went with if it. Is...we didnt attempt to try to break it down yet lol..its just sitting in the living room right now ha

 

[jrowenj]

uh oh... thats the same pack n play I got! I guess I should try it out too!

 

[prayingforbby]

Little J I was the same trying to put ours together. Thankfully my friend that gave it to me lives close, so I just had her put it together for me lol.

Is it too early to start washing LO's clothes, blankets, and other items? I was trying to wait until next month, but I know it takes me FOREVER to fold and put clothes away. The last thing I want is to be looking at mounds of laundry everyday

 

[Kaiecee]

Got some good news today!!!

My landlord told me not to pay tent till the end of July 2013 cuz we put a lot if money into this place to make it perfect I'm really happy now I can go buy more baby stuff yippee

No not too early at all. I've already done all mine!

 

[AJThomas]

Yep, I just have a handful of baby's stuff left to wash. All his things are at my brother's house right now tho since I didn't want them to get messed up in the work going on at my house. So at least I won't need to worry about those even tho I'll probably have a bit of washing to do for me n DH. Not to mention the cleaning and dusting, ugh.

 

[prayingforbby]

Guess Im behind then

[DeedeeBeester]

Thanks girls! Sorry to be replying so late, but turned off the computer soon after I wrote that since didn't see any of you online. Could barely sleep so I took a long nap this morning too haha.

It was a series of little things that happened yesterday. Hubby some what, without wanting, being guilty of them. But in the end it's my job to get my own security going, I suppose. I'm feeling better though.

Not a fan of taking the GD medicine. Feel like crap. Blood sugar down to 89 twenty minutes after eating 6 chocolates and a string cheese. Had to drink a little soda to bring sugars up again (although not sure it's working yet - but don't want to drink too much). Meanwhile, the only soda in the house is orange soda and after that horrible orange drink for the GD test, I officially hate orange soda.

 

[Kaiecee]

So here is more news I always put dh when talking about my bf but it seems like I will be able to actually call him dh were going ring shopping in the next 2 weeks I'm not in a rush for a wedding but he really wants to I'm thinking a summer wedding and a big party at our house since its so big and we have acres of land

Kaicee - great news on both counts, no rent and a blingy ring

Deedee - are you feeling any better today? Hope you are, we're all here for you

BlossomJ - great news re the scan! Will they scan you again in 4 weeks?

I'm waiting for an appointment with the aneastiatists (spl) team. Called hospital today and said we only do them on one day a month, the next being 28 nov but all fully booked. No day in December and next is jan 23 . . . Umm he'll be here by then and she was like oh don't worry about it then I'm sure you'll be ok. I was like I don't think so you better book me an appointment outside the normal one day!

I officially leave work in one months time! And boy I can't wait!
I have my shower this weekend which I am looking forward to
Hubby starts nights tonight so hoping I'll be ok at home, I know I will be as I'll star fish in bed all night just a bit daunting as we're never apart really x

@Sonia - I chuckled at the image of u starfishing

Great news all around Kaicee! Congrats!!

As for being organised, I had the portable crib set up, clothes washed n put away an everything. We had to pack the crib up again, and put everything in bags and boxes, I need some more pampers and basically everything for my hospital bag, I haven't packed a thing in it yet, I just couldn't bother after having to pack suitcases to take to my parents' house. I guess I should start putting my bag together tho
