January Jellybeans 2013!...

I'm not sure what's up with dh maybe cuz it's his first that he's neurvous but he says thing just to piss me off maybe that his way to get me to reassure himself but I hope he doesn't think a baby is easy he even asked me or told me that babies should sleep the night right away lol I couldn't say much but laught I told he better b ready cuz I was ok with my 2 I had he really wanted kids and wants more but if he does step up which I'm really sure he will cuz he takes good care of me now I think it's just nerves well I'm not sure ill have more

My DH says some things flippantly (like, why do we need all these clothes, they can just be wrapped up in a sack) and I think that is just insecurity and him trying to joke about it to feel better about the unknown. Guys don't have all the emotion and hormones we have and sometimes say things without thinking. Of course, we take everything personally and it makes for a fight.

It's insecurity and worry about how life will change. Wait until he holds his child for the first time.

Do any of u ladies know what a baby should weight at around 32 weeks? So that ill have an idea of what might too big when they tell him his weight?

Thanks ladies!!! Snow you are right. We can only do so much. Our DD's are the same age ... have you noticed her getting way more independent since becoming pregnant? I know mine has. She was already independent but now even DH notices it. I know it isn't a bad thing but sometimes it really gets to me when I have to say I just can't. She definitely goes off on her own to play more but I wish I didn't feel the guilt of when she asks me to do something and I just can't give it more than a minute or two before it wears me out. I know it is preparing her like Blossom said and that will be good for her to be able to manage somewhat on her own when I can't do something right away. I think it is all just going to take some adjusting. It still feels crazy to think that we are about to be a family of 4.

Hi ladies. We are just about settled in our new home. I am exhausted! I've cheated bedrest a bit and have helped unpack-nothing heavy but I've realized what a difference a month of rest has affected my strength. DH is sick of my honey-do list, I'm sure!! I want everything done before little one makes her appearance and that could be two weeks!
Hope everyone feels better. We are falling apart!!

Glad you're getting sorted!

Hopefully we should be moving in 3 weeks, so I'll be at the same stage in the pregnancy as you are now. It's reassuring that you've managed it Ok.

Not sure how I'll do it, but I guess I'll mainly be keeping DS out of mischief & not too involved in actually moving

That's what I thought cuz he's usually very open and loves to express himself tells me he loves me minimum 10-15 times a day so when this started it freaked me out a little

Mine too! lol! He says do we really need all this stuff?? I ask do you not remember when DD was little .... he says no not really. He asked me once if we had enough clothes yet ... we barely had anything and I said ok what about all the times they spit up on their clothes .... he said oh well just wipe them off and leave it.

About 4lbs is average based on What to Expect. In the coming weeks, however, baby grows very rapidly - about 1/2 lb a week - so if your EDD is off even by a week it can make a dramatic difference!

Also, remember that weights are estimates and are rarely accurate. A deviation of 1-2lbs is no big deal if you are 150lbs, but it's huge for babies!

Babycenter.com says average weight for 32 weeks is 3.75. But also says not to worry about what the ultrasound says because they're not accurate.

Thanks ladies

Me too I have 3 cases if diapers not including nb ones and I said in jan ill buy one more box with a box of wipes and he says don't u think u have enough? I said omg ur gonna have a rude awakening then if course to piss me off he says but u doing all the changi g and feeding right lol I said I think I've done enough its ur turn to step up and I think he's terrified to be alone with the baby cuz I'm having a cesarian so he will be with the baby before me and I think that freaks him out lol

I just hope they don't say he's more than 5 pounds cuz then I will asked to be induced earlier I was under the assumption with a cesarian planned it would b at 38 weeks but one of the doctors said 39 I'd really rather 38

 

[jrowenj]

you ladies are so funny and so right about our OH's when it comes to what we need for the baby!! I have like 4 pair of pjs and he's like do we really need all those? UMMM we need more than that unless you want our baby wearing spit up and pee or you want me doing laundry EVERY day!

They can't induce before 39 weeks unless medically necessary here.

My younger son was a planned cesarian here in Canada at 38 weeks they said he was big enough and I had no complications with him during my pregnancy

Mine was 3.7 lb at 31+1

 

[Kaiecee]

I think this pregnancy has been the hardest on me compared too all my other ones I just want to get everything organizes and feel ready to have him and have some time to relax without so much worry and stress and those stupid dog gates I want up!

 

[Little J]

In the book i have been ready it says at 31 weeks the average baby weighs 3.5 lbs.... and my Dr. said at 28 weeks babies tend to gain 1/2 lb weekly til birth from then on. So im assuming at 32 weeks the average baby would weigh 4lbs.

I am so jealous of the ladies that get to be on maternity leave already or soon.... im waiting until im suppost to pop to start mine, just bc i know i want to spend all my time with the baby.

You ladies in the UK are lucky and get 6 months right?! JEALOUS!
