March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

[sportysgirl]

Glad your feeling a bit better MrsChezek and that you slept well last night.

ATM I am feeling really tiered and very emotional. This acid reflux is getting worse too! But we have been baby shopping today!

 

[baby_maybe]

Love baby shopping, I got loads of clothes from next online in their sale a few days ago (I had a VIP slot). I had one delivery yesterday and am waiting for another one in the next couple of days.

Still need to get a few more bits and pieces though. All the big stuff is here, but the biggest thing that needs doing is the nursery, it's still tinkerbell! lol

Glad you're feeling better mrs c

Baby maybe, I also ordered a few cute things for LO to wear I didn't have a VIP slot so by the time I went on there a lot of the best stuff was sold out. I got a few things though including an elf suit for next Christmas

I realised the other day how much clothing I already have for Alfie between 0-9 months. I don't have any newborn yet but a lot of it only goes up to 10lbs something, and I was 9 pounds 8 1/2 and my husband is 6ft tall so I am sort of expecting to have a big baby. I will probably get a few things but not go overboard, there's no point in spending lots on clothes he will only wear for a week or two or perhaps not at all!

 

[baby_maybe]

I was lucky to get a VIP slot, they had some cool stuff I got a few more bits in up to 10lb and then some for up to 14lb, I also got him two hats for next winter I'm thinking up to 10lb will be safe since my last two babies have been 7lb6oz and 8lb11oz. The only thing is that my 7lb baby put on weight a lot slower than my 8lb baby so it's a bit of a guessing game with what of these clothes will still be suitable as we get towards the summer. Also my 7lb baby I had to buy some tiny baby clothes for to start with even though she didn't wear them for long the 10lb stuff was way too big. I haven't bought any this time because I don't think he will be that small, but I'm aware I might need to when he arrives!

 

[rose.]

They sound really good, how do you get a VIP slot?

Ahh yeah I'm sure you'll be safe with newborn size then! I might end up with a perfectly normal sized baby but I don't know... The Midwifes not said he's big but I looked in the growth chart in my notes and his length is above the line at the moment. I guess it's only an estimation though. I'm guessing I might get bought a few newborn outfits nearer the time so I'm sure ill have enough to get me through if he does come out smaller than expected I can always send hubby off to the shops! Or my mum, I'm sure she wouldn't mind as she loves picking things for him already!

Hi all
Just a quick pop in to say my GTT results came back normal

 

[rose.]

Yay congratulations Sharn that's good news!

 

[baby_maybe]

Do you have a next account rose? I think to qualify for a VIP slot you have to have ordered and kept something from the current catalogue. I don't always, but I had to get the kids some clothes so I got the invitation for a VIP slot by email a few days before Xmas

Also sometimes with baby clothes and what fits, depends on how long they are as well as how much they weigh! So you might have a really long 8lb baby that only fits in newborn for a week or so or you could have a short 8lb baby that fits in it for a couple of weeks or longer than that! Bit of a guessing game really! lol

 

[Mrs. AJ]

Congrats heaven, that's great! Hope everyone is feeling better

Afm, I fear I may be having a return of ms in the third tri - I've been nauseous on and off the past few days...nothing like I had in first tri, which was awful, but still annoying and I hope it doesn't get worse.

 

[MrsChezek]

Oh no mrs AJ! ms sucks Hope it's short lived I've been having nausea every afternoon but it's from the antibiotic...can't wait to be off of it after tomorrow!

I'm feeling much better each day so I'm grateful for that. Hope everyone is having a good Sunday! I'm off to watch the last day of football...my team is not doing so well but I guess I should support them to the end of things DH and I support teams that are rivals and whichever team did better this season, we agreed would be our bean's team. So I'm a bit bummed that my team let me down!!!! But there's still hope so I'm hanging onto it...DH's team could lose today

Yes I do have an account. I've done a couple of orders recently so hopefully I will get a VIP slot in the next one!

Thanks for the tip on baby clothes. Guess ill just have to wait and see! My SIL is trying for a baby at the moment and some friends of ours might start trying for their second soon I think, so I'm sure ill have someone to give them to if they don't fit

sharn- that is great news!!

ms chez- glad your feeling better!! Who's your team??

 

[MrsChezek]

sharn- that is great news!!

NY Giants and DH is a big Dallas Cowboys fan - he's from Texas. My Giants played well today so I'm proud of them but it's up to other teams losing in order for them to get into the playoffs at this point so we'll see. I haven't seen the Chicago final score yet and if Chicago moves forward then we're out unfortunately BUT, if DH's team loses then we'll be even and I'm not sure what will happen in regards to Bean's first team jersey!!!! Perhaps we'll pull straws

 

[MrsChezek]

Hi girls,

Have any of you used or are using cloth diapers? DH and I have decided to take that route and I'd love any insight or advice Trying to figure out which brand to go with and whether to use unfolded, pre-folded, or fitted cloths So many little decision in this process!

 

[wanting2010]

I'm planning on using cloth. I'm a newbie at it so I can't offer much advice, but I'm planning on trying a few different brands and types to see what I like the best.

I currently have 6 Flip covers which I plan on using with prefolds, and I also just bought 4 Fuzzibunz pocket diapers which I think will be easier for DH! I'll probably still with mostly covers and prefolds and pockets. I plan on buying some BumGenius, possibly some Rumparooz (and this is mostly because they have an ADORABLE print that I really want LOL), and then I want to buy some of a cheaper brand as well (Kawaii or Alva, probably). My plan is to have at least 24ish diapers in my stash so I can hopefully wash every other day.

 

[Kte]

I'm not sure but know a few mums that have, I'm sure there is a minefield of helpful advice in the natural parenting section about them. I'm pretty sure from what I have heard seen they are mega addictive and like most clothes its what you prefer and fits best! I'm sure there used to be a swap / try section in there too!

Hi ladies, it's been a while since I've been here.

I went to the ER 2 weeks ago, found out I have Gall Stones which has to be surgically removed after baby girl is born.

Since then I've had 2 gall stone attacks which hurts like HELL!!!

My body is in SO MUCH PAIN. I didn't have any of these pains with my first daughter. I feel heavy on the lower part of my bump, my lower back and my hips hurt. I have yet to sort through my daughters old clothes to see whats in good condition for our new addition, nor have I washed any of the new items that were purchased, I have a feeling I won't be able to do much in these upcoming weeks if I keep feeling as bad as I do now.

 

[baby_maybe]

Sorry about the gall stone hun, ouch!

I'm just in a lot of pain from my hips and knees, no backache really but my bump is very high still and feels like its pulling me down all the time as well as suffocating me when I'm sitting! I've still got a fair bit to do, not least the nursery, but I can't see myself being in a position physically to manage it before he arrives either. Maybe DH will do it or we can do it together once he's here, he'll be in our room for a while anyway

 

[rose.]

Sorry you've been in so much pain ipretti! Try to put your feet up and relax, I'm sure everything will work out in the end and I'm sure there is not as much left to do as you think

Hope you don't get anymore attacks until the can sort them for you
