[cat123456]

Cat, I would be horrified, HORRIFIED if my baby came out with teeth and I wanted to breast feed.
As for your head. I hope that you get relief soon. Hopefully the doctors can do SOMETHING for you.

Lmao i wasnt overly fussed tbh i didnt really want to breastfeed pls dnt judge..

Yh my midwife said shed been a midwife for 17 years and this the first case baby teeth that didnt need to come out so was amazed..

Thnk u for your concern ladies iv had my bloods done etc pulse is high at 114 its 10.47pm here so gunna go sleep soon. Xx

Pink shoes...really! That's just lazy!! I feel the same, if people don't know what you need then they should ask....like I really do not need anymore clothes!! We need to start giving away some of what we have already .

It's around 55% of your salary with a maximum built in for the year. We are definitely lucky to have this!

I think the earlier Dropping is after first babies as muscles etc arent as strong as they were the first time.

Oh is that so? I guess that explains it then. It's only been last year that I've given birth.

 

[bb1]

Its only what I have read and experienced myself. DS will be 23 months when this little one comes.

 

[The Alchemist]

Mine will be 20 months apart. Still nervous about it lol

 

[cat123456]

Mine will b 20 months and my littlun gets soo jelous she bites my oldest for no reason im scared she will bite baby!! Xx

See, I am afraid of the jealousy too. I have a baby doll that I have been using to show her that she will have a baby brother. She does show signs of jealousy when I put teddy bear in her high chair. She grabs it and throws it back in the pack n play. I guess I will see how she will be once ds is here

 

[bb1]

Yep I am worried about the jealousy too. DS's cousin (Girl) is 3 months younger and they are always...ALWAYS fighting with each other. but he has been around babies and a new new baby lately and has been fantastic. I do know that a keep baby (ours) might be an entirely different story

 

[The Alchemist]

Bb1 - well....good luck to the both of us. It shouldn't be forever anyway. They will grow and they will learn that new baby is their sibling. Good part is dd will have a playmate so I am happy about that I have gf's who have kids but I don't get to see them at all as they have a very different schedule (work) and lifestyle, plus they live far.

I just thought of it...Do I really need a double stroller??!!

 

[whittnie117]

My best friend swears by having a double stroller. One that has a seat down below for an older child and then the regular stroller type up front. She says she wouldn't be able to control the runner if she didn't have it. Then again, she has three children under 4.

 

[The Alchemist]

Thanks Whittnie. I almost country forgot about double stroller. I've seen the one you're talking about. I like those better than the side-by-side one because I imagine I can squeeze through a regular doorway. Neat. I just wish these strollers weren't so expensive!

Alchemist - We've bought a baby jogger city select. The second seat is higher up so that child still gets to see something. I've never liked the ones where the second seat is underneath as think it can't be any fun. We can also clip in our car seat for the first 6 months which makes things a lot easier!
DH didn't want to get a double as he said DD walks most of the time. But I pointed out that we quite often end up carrying her towards the end of a trip, walk etc. which just won't be possible with a baby as well.
The benefit of the one we got is that after DD stops needing it we can convert it down to a single stroller. So this is the last stroller we will need to buy. Whoop!
I really wish we'd bought one of these when we had DD, would have saved a lot of money and hassle. Lol!!

I am sooooo worried about jealousy withDD. I know in the long run having a sibling will be really good for her. But I'm really dreading the early days when she just won't understand why she has to share us all of a sudden. And a part of me feels sad that it won't just be me and her anymore.

 

[The Alchemist]

I think just to save money, I'm gonna have to look into craigslist. There are always people selling baby items, being a large city I live in so my options are pretty vast.

I'm excited! I get to receive my birthing ball today! I really hope it does relieve pelvic pain and assist with baby's position. I know my boy is heads down and facing my back most of the time. Sometimes he faces the front. Don't want that as back to back labor hurts like a mofo.

 

[whittnie117]

Oh dear, Alchemist, you live in the Los Angeles area, right? I should have said something WAY WAY sooner. This Sunday in San Diego, yes San Diego, there is a swapmeet just for parents. I'm sure they would have a stroller type you're looking for. /facepalm. I Don't know why I didn't say anything sooner. I know it's a drive and something that would need planning. I am sorry for not saying something sooner.

 

[The Alchemist]

Whittnie - oh you're fine! I wouldn't be able to go anyway. I'm waiting to get my license renewed. Thank you though!

 

[cat123456]

Tho my second has jelous moments they do love each other insanely and would do anything for each other lol u will hav moments but as long as u treat them fairly you will be fine

I have an obaby double stroller its excellent its side by side but fits through doorways fine etc xx

Have you pumped up your ball yet?
I agree back to back is nasty!!! DD was back to back during labour last time and there was no let up from the pain in my back! Also my waters broke before my contractions started last time. So I'll be interested to see if contractions feel different this time with my waters intact and baby not back to back (I hope he won't be back to back!)

 

[The Alchemist]

Berniegroves - yep! I blew it up right after I'd taken it out of the package. I've been on that thing all night. Bouncing and swaying/swirling. For the first time, I woke up without any pain whatsoever. Funny, I was doubting it would work. Think I'm in love with my ball lol.

 

[cat123456]

Lol i have a ball its just not big enough xx
