*~* May 2013 - Spring Babies*~* 117 Jelly Babies - 22 Boy's & 19 Girl's - 5 Babies :D

They shouldn't be bulky as they are stuffed with bamboo which is thin, I was recommended them as a thin nappy however I've not seen it in person yet so perhaps it is. I'll let you know! Little lambs are quite bulky but super absorbant. Some are definitely bigger. I've just managed to get two bum genius newborn nappies new for £6 on a fb site (first time I have got anything), they are AIOs. I only have a couple of AIOs at the moment

 

[CupcakeBaby]

They come with 2 snap in inserts - one is like an hourglass shape and one is a trifold.

So if you had the trifold and the extra booster then it could be very bulky, expescially on a newborn. Bu would be super absorbant.

With the one insert though I think they'd be very trim.

 

[Hann12]

Thanks cupcake, I'm sure a newborn wouldn't need both inserts as they get changed so often they aren't deemed heavy wetters unlike a a toddler.

lp.... I had a bad night also. I can't seem to get comfortable & if I try to lay on my right side Mason goes crazy kicking & throwing a fit.... So I spent the night tossing & turning. Then around midnight my throat started hurting. So now I'm sleepy with a swollen/sore throat that makes it hard to swallow. I just plain feel like crap today. I have also noticed that I'm retaining water. My fingers are so fat I can hardly type & my ankles are already starting to swell. What the heck, I never thought I'd be starting that stuff this early on....

Hope your day gets better!

I woke up with such a headache last night too much walking around yesterday just killed me. Mason does like body rolls when I sleep haha it's like a dance party in my stomach.

 

[maybesoon]

hahaha pink, my Mason is the same way! He's so active all the time. I swear he never sleeps. I think the longest I've gone without him being really active is about an hour.

i think a lot of us had a rough night!
i went to bed at 11pm, and woke up at 12:15 with terrible crohn's pains. i took a zofran and a hydrocodone, took a bath and was able to go back to sleep around 3am. then i got up at 5:30 to go to work i am a tired girl today!

while i was in severe intestinal pain, kidlet was rolling around happily all night. at least that was reassuring!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Urgh ladies.

Poeple get so snappy on here sometimes.

I've jsut been lurking across the board and have come across 3 threads where people have been mean to each other.

I'm glad we're all so friendly in here even though we all have different ideas and plans for things.

Why can't people just be nice? Everyone's going to do the best for their baby, and no-one is forcing anyone to do anything else.

 

[julesjules100]

Woohoo, V day!

I'm having problems with sleep too; worst insomnia most nights now after my middle of the night trip to do a tiny pee. Over the last few nights I've been averaging about 3 hours sleep (with one night with nil sleep at all!). The worst as I have to get up to get ready for work JUST as I'm starting to fall asleep again. On the upside my mat leave starts in 3 weeks time so I can sleep in the day. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Maybesoon, my little chap is the same as yours. Super active all the time which is also not helping on the sleep front.

Sorry you all had bad nights too.

I'm dreading tonight if I get the hip/rib pain again.

But hopefully my pillow arrives tomorrow and then I'll be as comfy as the lady on the website! Lol.

jtink... Sorry you had a bad night also... Guess we are all just getting to that point in our pregnancies. No offense, but I'm kinda glad I'm not the only one, reading that you ladies are having bad nights is reassuring that I'm perfectly normal (hahaha).

Cupcake.... I agree. I really only follow this thread & the April babies thread. I have read a few others in the past & it seems like the ladies get really cross with one another. I know we all have differences in opinion on different subjects but I think we all do a really good job of accepting we are all alike but different. It's like the breastfeeding subject. I love that we all agree to disagree on certain levels but all know we each want & are doing what we feel is best for our babies! Glad to be a part of this group of wonderful, loving, caring women! I don't know how I would have made it this far without each of you....

 

[julesjules100]

Ha ha, I was about to buy this one too! Did make me giggle though when it's all coiled up as it looks a bit like a large dog poo! Lol

 

[maybesoon]

Cupcake that is the exact same pillow I have.... Honestly I love but hate it because I find I spend half of the night either fighting with it or picking it up off the floor from where I have knocked it off the bed....

 

[pinktiara]

I get up to pee twice a night once at 230 once at 530 which I hate because my hubby gets up at 6 ish and than my son at 7 ish so its like whats the point in going back to sleep lol.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Thanks Maybe.

At the moment I'm fashioning a fake version of that out of 2 regular pillows and a long sort of tubey decorative one.

The nights I can keep all 3 in place I sleep wonderfully, but most nights I lose on or two and that's when I end up in pain.

So I'm hoping as it's all one unit and it'll wrap round me a bit that I'll have more luck!

 

[pinktiara]

I just have a regular body pillow like i did with my first works great. bought my first pair of maternity jeans last night man my thighs got big haha but it was nice to have jeans as apposed to stretch pants.

 

[maybesoon]

bahahaha jules.... My DH laughs every morning because after wer get up in the morning we make the bed & I will curl mine up on my side & since I have 2 great danes he swears it looks like one of them pooped on our bed!!!! hehehe

Don't get me wrong. It's really comfortable & it helps with the belly & legs really well. I just can't seem to get comfy no matter what so I spend the entire night fighting with not only this pillow, but my regular head pillows too! Then it falls on the floor & our bed is pretty high up so I have to crawl off the bed to pick it up. Or during the many many trips to the bathroom to pee (which is usually almost nothing) I have to crawl over it or throw it over on DH so I don't knock it back off onto the floor (which he just loves... NOT)!!!

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Haha, I'm the same with my 3 pillows at the moment.

Everytime I get out I have to stack them up by DH. Then when I get back in I'm ages faffing about sorting them out again.

Never mind - they get to lay all comfy, a bit of pillow re-arranging does them good.

 

[julesjules100]

ha ha! That's one big dog poo!

I think I may get one too as I've got 4 pillows on the go in the bed (and a mattress topper, which is the best) but feel like I'd like something to fling my whole leg on if I can. I'm still sleeping in a sort of recovery position which is allowing me to get close to being on my belly (how I normally sleep) but without squashing the bump. I know that that is going to be over soon when it gets bigger. Feel guilty though in case I'm squashing LO in my sleep!

 

[maybesoon]

lol Cupcake.... Last night in my fit of arranging, rearranging, rearranging, moving, shifting, tossing, finally DH says "Honey, are you ok?' Me: "No I can't get this pillow right & I can't get comfy" DH "Is there anything I can do to help you get situated?" Then he proceeds to start rubbing my back!!!! I started laughing so hard because I think at that point he was ready to help me anyway he could to get me settled so he could go back to sleep!
