I like the idea of a private FB page court, somehow it's just easier to stay in touch on FB!
So glad your friends twins are doing well.

I'm not normally a worrier, but lately I find myself worrying about the silliest things. For example, baby's first clothes, what's the difference between newborn and 0-3 months? What if I buy the wrong size? I want to use washable nappies (diapers) but which ones? There are SO many to choose from, what if I buy the wrong ones for my baby?
What if the baby comes early and we're not ready? There's still so much to do, what if I forget something?
So many 'what if's' It's driving me a little crazy!
 
Tour first :hugs: :) it's only natural to have worries here and there sweetie.
Newborn clothes are a tad bit smaller than the 0-3 months. Once baby gets bigger, you start using the 0-3 because baby will be growing over those 3 months. However my baby was so tiny when she was born that she didn't even really fit the newborn outfits for a while lol it depends on your baby's size ;)
 
We should start a Fb group... It's so much easier plus I know how to post pictures up with ease on Fb!!! As far as clothes, my kiddies were around 7lbs at birth so we used the newborn clothes for the first couple of weeks. Then they were in 0-3. However if you have a larger baby they may not even fit in newborn as the weight is usually only up to 8lbs. I know what you mean about worrying, I'm the same way right now. I keep thinking of the Ton of stuff we need but don't have :-/. Don't worry it'll all get done, worrying is natural as we want it all perfect for when baby comes:-).

Ugh my household can't get away from sickness. Now it's me with laryngitis and ds1 with the flu. Arghhhhhh!!!!
 
Wow Court my daughter was 7lbs 5.3 oz and didn't really fit newborn! They were too big lol
That's how it works in a big family.... Pass the germs :hugs: hope you all get better soon :)
 
Aww really? Maybe it depends on the brand? I know Carter's tends to run smaller or maybe I'm forgetting how small newborns really are? Lol this could be the case! I bought quite a few newborn clothes...watch baby will be 10lbs!! My issue is what type of clothing bc April/may are such iffy months...it could be 70 or 50 degrees out!
 
Oh yes, that's another worry! Long sleeves or short sleeves?
I think I need my mums help, but she's far away in England! Waaahh! :cry:

I must not panic, everything will be fine.
 
Courtney I think you're right about brands bein different. This time I have newborn carter outfits (one boy and one girl) since I'm team yellow :) I think this baby will be a little fatty based on my last growth scan so hopefully that combined with it being a Carter's outfit will fit on the baby :) oh and yeah that's how it is in my state with the weather!!

Tour I would get both types. I have short sleeve and long sleeve white onesies just for that reason. Plus it may be warm in your house so baby could be in short sleeves but change into long sleeves if you leave the house. As long as baby has blankets and mittens and a hat they will be snug and warm! Try to relax sweetie ( I know easier said than done!!) you r going to be fine and will make it! A year from now you will be shocked at how it went by so fast!! :)
 
I have 8 pounders so I don't get newborn. It would get so little use. I did get a few newborn things at my shower though so we'll see. :)
 
As a second-time mom, all I can say about being prepared is: you will never be prepared. Babies have a way of knowing what you forgot and then needing that one. little. thing. :) Just breathe, all they need is a diaper and a boob and they're fine. The rest is just extra. Clothes? Eh, you can wrap them in a blanket if you really have NO clothes that fit. They like skin-to-skin anyway. Crib? Pram? Diaper bag? Eh. I guess the carseat is the one necessity to worry about so they can get home safely from the hospital, but if you give birth at home you won't need that either. :)

Thanks MightyMom!!! Your post just made me relax no end. I have a car seat, diapers, a blanket and boobs! :happydance: lol
 
I second all of what you said, Mighty! All this baby has is a coming home outfit and two onesies my mom bought her from Old Navy. I'm not in a rush to buy anything yet. At first, because of all my losses, it was that I'd start buying stuff after the first tri, but I was still scared. Then it was after V-day, but I still couldn't bring myself to buy anything. Now, at nearly 30 weeks, it's "after my next growth scan." Which is tomorrow!!! I figure if babes gets diagnosed with IUGR then I'll have to buy things as she could be born at anytime. At the very least, I'm going to buy her car seat and diapers on the way home from my appointment tomorrow.

Grow, baby, grow!!!
 
I have one boy and girl outfit... And then white onesies for this little one lol
Double stroller crib and carseat :) oh and breast feeding stuff (I hated the brand I used with dd1... Actually couldn't use it alot because it was not working) and I have toiletries stuff for baby.

Manu I hope you have a good appointment tomorrow!! :)
 
Hehehe, I love using preggo brain as an excuse for my scattiness these days. But to be honest, I think I'm no more scatty than normal, but I am very scatty normally. :haha:
 
I'm so much more laid back about this one. I remember with my first that the carseat and stroller were such a big deal. The boxes sat in the garage and I was like "I have a carseat, OMG!" Then I went crazy and got everything all ready. And every time we went out we brought the stroller and the diaper bag. And my diaper bag was packed with things we didn't need. Now I'm like "Just need a diaper and some wipes." LOL Why I was bringing sunscreen to the grocery store with me, I'll never know!
