I suppose I should stop moaning until I go at least 1 min late. But I will be ten times worse so might as well just have it now!!

Thanks Melissa! Just focus on you and that little one of yours

Rach - It gets to be so frustrating when you just want them out and they won't come out. I am guessing in a couple years, we will be asking ourselves why we wanted them out, as they are running around screaming and telling us off! lol!

 

[2nd time]

JUSTeaten fresh pinapple with tabasco on it yum yum but have heartburn now lol

 

[Nixilix]

Ooooh I'm gonna eat my pineapple!!

So true Melissa - I'll prob want it back in soon enough!

 

[2nd time]

apparently to make you go into labour you have to eat about 7 fresh pinapples lol ot sure i can manage that but the chill has to help lol

 

[Nixilix]

I only have one... But it's better than nothing!

 

[2nd time]

I only have one... But it's better than nothing!

i think 7 might cause another side effect yuck loll

 

[Nixilix]

Coffee did that Friday!

 

[msarkozi]

7 pineapples?! omg!!! I think my mouth would be raw by the time I was done eating that much

 

[2nd time]

bought my dd a new car seat from halfords today, now i am worried i did my reserch and new what seat was fine for her but the guy in the shop told me that you choose a seat on EITHER weight or age, every other pice of advice says weight is the most important. i now my seat is fine but watch out the advice you get in store might not be right

 

[msarkozi]

I would agree with you that weight is the most important.

 

[2nd time]

its just worrying that so called experts give incorrect advice i feel bad but i am going to ring the store tommorow and tell them that they might have training issues . i dont want the guy to get in trouble as he was really nice he was just wrong and i dont want to thin that somone will have an acident in the wrong seat

2nd time, unless he was trying to say you if you have an older child that is still within the previous weight range it may still be appropriate to go up a chair. But its not safe to have a child too heavy for a seat. (which oops is what happened to us - hadn't realised just how heavy DS had got...).

 

[braijackava]

Ventured out in the blizzard to Target and got the portacrib, baby gate, and the nail clippers and other grooming things we needed. Dont need anything now. Just a stop at the pharmacy after the hospital for meds and pads etc. Hubby is putting the portacrib together now!

 

[2nd time]

its that my dd is still in her first infant carrier which goes up to 20lb the new seats start at 20lb or you can get a 1+ which goes from birth to 40lb ish my dd is 16lb so too small for anything other than 1+ seat and he was trying to say coz she is 12 months she can go in a group 2 seat which would mea forward facing and not weighing enough its a mine field

I actually got a decent sleep last night. Went to bed around 11:30, woke up every 2 hours to pee, and then woke up at 10:00 this morning!!! yah!!!! I really don't have anything on my list to do today since I had the cleaner here yesterday. I have to pack OH's bag for him, and I am going to add the last few things to my bags as well. The only thing I can't put in there yet is my blowdryer. Oh, should I be taking my prenatal vitamins and folic acid to the hospital with me too??

I got good sleep last night too!! I went to bed at 12, woke at 5:30 to pee then slept till 9!!

I added a few more things to my hospital bag too. Its about 80% packed now. I think i will take a couple of vitamins loose maybe?

Happy full term Angela

I think retail therapy is in the cards for most of us. I picked up a t-shirt and sweater to wear home from the hospital - so those pictures that everyone takes i wont look like a slob in my pj's - even though most of the time i look like a slob in my pj's

Good luck tomorrow Melissa (B)!!

Glad you checked into the car seat 2ndtime. I agree that weight is more important then weight and your DD shouldn't go into a FF 20+ lbs seat yet.

We figured out the car seat. There was a lever to release a portion of the base so it was raised - and when we lifted it up it tightened right up. So thats done.

The living room got tidy'd and swept. Laundry and dishes are done and my feet hurt LOL. And the video monitor is charging so we can install the camera and we bought some of the plastic covering for home theater wires - so that when we hang the camera there won't be any wires available to grab onto (there was a recent recall with them). My mom is comming tomorrow to help me go through, wash and organize all the baby stuff. And i need to clean the bathroom.

I remember not worrying about going late last time because I was so worried about how hard it would be to look after him on the outside.

Now I can't wait to have this squishy baby to hold. They are WAY more fun on the outside... even in a couple years

its that my dd is still in her first infant carrier which goes up to 20lb the new seats start at 20lb or you can get a 1+ which goes from birth to 40lb ish my dd is 16lb so too small for anything other than 1+ seat and he was trying to say coz she is 12 months she can go in a group 2 seat which would mea forward facing and not weighing enough its a mine field

I would say that you definatly want to keep her rear facing for now. We kept E rear facing till he was 18 months, it's safe for them even once they are over 20 lbs. E's "big boy" carseat sounds like the 1+ you are talking about, and it freed up the infant carseat for this baby.

How sweet is he Natty!! Congrats
