Want - shoot! It never occurred to me to ask about placenta placement. But then again...dr's should tell their pts anyway, we don't automatically know what to ask for...I hope yours stay put. He should though by this time. They start running out of room. Mine is still breech, posterior and sometimes change to transverse. Sigh...oh I'll check out that site you pointed out to me. Thank you bunches.

Whittnie - yeah it's a drive to get to that Walmart. I live in LA county but live above the actual city, in the valley area. And that Walmart is on the opposite end of the valley. I'm better off going to Ross, Marshalls, and/or Target. Oh I had to giggle at your bill collectors comment lol. They call me too. That's great that your friend called you! What a coincidence after having mentioned friend situation.

I text my 2 friends today. One didn't respond. But the one with 2 kids did. I text her that I never heard back from her, that you know my physical situation in pregnancy, you know where I stay, you're free to come by whenever, I'm only a text away....and she responded, "aww friend, sorry been busy but I'm free next week"...then a second text came...she said "text me when you're free"....that left me puzzled because i wasn't sure if that was a sarcastic text or not. She knows my condition, she's the one busy and I'm not, just at home mostly. So I then responded back "i do text you but you're working most times that i do text so i respect that and leave you to work. You guys are the one busy and I'm not, what with my cripple status haha. Anyway, I'm here.you're free to come by too just let me knowl...and then no response. So no response to me is she's either busy or just don't want to reply. I'll take it that she's busy because she said so herself so I'll be the considerate one to leave her be as she's so busy. Right? Am I wrong? She made it sound like I could have text her too but i have always been the one to initiate it, and it always ends up with her texting back with few words and then nothing....I'll just leave her be.

Anyway...I'm already in that group Bernie created on Facebook. You ladies need to go there. Lol...I'm the asian one with a pic of me+dd.
 
I can not find the group! Someone needs to add me, but I'm not easy to find on there. I have everything blocked, lol. Can I add you Alchemist to get to it? You can choose to delete me or keep me if you want, lol...

I forgot to mention that OH was such a trooper this weekend. I am so grateful. He worked so very hard yesterday. He got fed up with waiting for FIL and MIL to do anything with the house so he took it upon himself to just do stuff. He cleared most of the nursery. The carpet is out, as are the hideous closet doors and he took down the shelves from the wall. He also boxed up all the stuff they had in there. Now there is just a few pieces of furniture that have to wait for them to get some stuff done in the front bedroom before we can move them. Then the room can be painted, the carpet stable holes can be recemented (or whatever it's called), and the it'll be ready for the new floors. I never knew there were built in shelves in that closet too (we have them in ours) so that will be really nice for babies stuff. A ton of extra storage.
OH also moved and wrapped ALL the kitchen furniture, including the island out to the patio. He boxed up all the stuff off a couple of tables they were using as storage shelves for the remodel and got those out too. So now there is just a ton of space for them to hopefully feel like there is stuff being done and they can get stuff done themselves.
OH is really irritated with his mom. He keeps saying she says, "I'll work on that tomorrow" then doesnt feel well the next day, so she puts it off even further and she isn't doing anything. I know personally she hasn't felt well the last week or two, but I kind of feel the same way sometimes. Though I am not doing much either!
FIL saw him working hard yesterday after he got home from church and he started helping him later in the evening. I'm grateful someone did as his bff didn't show up. Just flaked. We didn't get any of the boxes moved from storage or items for the garage sale here, but a lot in the house is done. It's amazing what one person can do in a day when they actually do it. If my OH was doing this remodel, it would have been done weeks and weeks ago.
 
Bernie I think I got the right Emma! I am Heather Ortiz! Sent you a friend request.

37 week appointment today. Nothing exciting. Not sure if I am excited or scared for the next few weeks.
 
As for your friend, I don't know what to say to that. I just left my friend alone and eventually she called. I don't like feeling like I am the one always working towards the friendship and getting nothing in return. So I just leave things. I think I've lost a lot of people because I am like that, lol. But they need to make an effort too, dammit. So I know how you feel exactly.

I got my newborn diapers in the mail and they were the wrong ones. It turns out I ordered them wrong! I am so pissed at myself. I was super duper excited to get them up in my diaper shelf and now I have to wait to return them and get the right ones. I waited a week and a half to get them :(

Oh and to make myself feel better. I baked my Sara Lee Pumpkin Pie. I get to eat it for dessert tonight, yum.

And woohoo cowgirl! Congrats on making it to term! Yay!
 
I forgot to come back to the texting! I am a TERRIBLE texter. I read it while I am doing something and then I think "okay as soon as I get done _______ (driving, cooking, etc.) I will answer this and then I forget. I have a best friend who ONLY texts she gets aggravated that I don't text back and I get aggravated she won't answer the dang phone!
 
Anyone else going back to work after baby comes? Have you picked out bottles to bottle feed from? I have the breast pump coming next week but haven't made any decisions on bottles!!
 
Want- I really, really, really want to cloth diaper, but OH is really against it. He is totally freaked out by the thought of changing poopy diapers and then having to clean them? NO WAY JOSE! For him..:haha: He is actually really funny about it. I think that after he sees how much money we are spending on diapers he will be more open to it in the future. I also think that once he starts changing diapers and gets used to the poopiness he will get over it. Better late than never, right? :(

In my mind, cloth is better not only for the environment, but for the baby too. However, sometimes you just have to make compromises. I got a lot that were in between eco friendly and regular diapers and they are cheaper than both, lol. How that works out I don't know, but it works for me. So at least it won't be AS bad. I hope.

The diapers that I ordered that came wrong were a box of Pampers. I wanted to buy one box, just one box of Pampers swaddlers Sensitives in Newborn. Did I do that? Nope...I bought the baby dry ones. One that I didn't want to use. -_- I am so irritated. It's an easy fix, but not while in bed! So, I figured I'd send OH to go get the ones I wanted and and the others I'd return and get the other brand I'll be using.
 
I'd say that is a good compromise. I really wanted to do cloth and then our friend gave about 30 so we officially are saving TONS of money. After my shower, I now have about 50 diapers in different sizes and styles. Ony thing I spent money on was detergent and that came out to be like $10. I think the cost saving was what convinced my DH:)
 
I have a bunch of wool cloths I'll be using, very old school style here :D

Won't be any nice designs but it'll save some money, it'll just be constant change and wash :b
 
I would have loved to cloth diaper. I know that if we have another baby that I'll push for it next time a lot harder. I just didn't have the energy to fight for it this time. I did get my wish to keep my boy uncircumcised. I feel that should be his decision when he is older. Not trying to get into a debate on that topic, lol.

Anyhow, I would have gotten cloth diapers and the outside thingies whatever they are called from that friend with 4 kids. But nooooooooo. OH had to go and be grossed out, lol.

I changed the layout back to the old purple bnb skin. I couldn't stand the brightness

woah wait a sec. you can change it back?!?! Where can I do this, because this change is driving me nuts!
 
Also I plan on cloth diapering as well, although not the first few days, as I already have some disposable diapers that people bought for me. DH was totally onboard with it once I showed him the cost savings and the videos about how to deal with the poopie diapers and such about cleaning. But then again he doesn't get grossed out by much, and I myself cleaned up dog poop for five years when I worked at a boarding kennel, not much can be worse than dog poo. So hopefully I will get some cloth diapers at the shower, and we will by our prefolds later since I can't register for them. Hopefully I can enjoy my baby shower since its happening so late in this pregnancy, but hey its better then not getting one!
 
Under the User CP menu. It is under "Edit options" at the very bottom where it says Skins. It's the BnB-momtastic option...Soooo much better.

I've given up on a baby shower, my mom is just not reliable. She hasn't even finished the invitations yet. So I am not worried about it at all anymore.
