November 2013 Babies!

Wooo! Congrats Bernie and Bb1 on the boys! So exciting. We have so many boys so far and more to come if mommy intuition reigns true. I can't wait for the rest of the scan updates this week.

Thanks everyone for responding to my questions. It's not that I worry the crib is cheap, it's more that it's a piece of furniture from walmart. I've purchased from there before, but the quality lacked, but it is a Carter's brand, so good?

All you not leaking ladies are lucky. It's only gotten worse for me since it started. I can't even imagine what it'll be like later in the pregnancy. At least I'll be ready for breast feeding.

As far as feeling my breasts as non sexual, since I started leaking my breasts are a no touchy zone. So sore and my nipple sting. Even the thought is kind of repulsive to me. It's a feeding zone, so no touchy.

As for round ligament pains, wooowee, I get it bad already. To the point I can't get comfy in bed and can't walk. I don't know if previous issues make mine worse, but man, it hurts. My nurse says it is only going to get worse ans she can't imagine what it will be like in the third trimester.
 
My boobs aren't leaking but there are these crusty things that covers my nipples. I didn't know they're normal and beneficial, I've been peeling them off. I don't remember exactly what they are. I think they're colostrum but dried up colostrum? Any of your nipples have these crusty thingies?

Yes, that's what happened a week or so before I started the leaking. That's what others are saying it is. How are they beneficial? I still have them, just leaking too. I don't like having weird things there so I've been peeling them off too.

look at which strollers can be converted into doubles. I think there are quite a few that are singles to start with but then when you have your second baby you just purchase the additional seat.
I REALLY wish we had thought about that the first time round.

Thanks for bringing this up! I didn't think of that. I just looked it up and some strollers have an attachment where a toddler can stand between the handlebars. I think I want one of those...it looks super cool! It just means I'll have to keep the factory CLOSED until this first baby is about 2 years old.

We got DS a cott that converts into a toddler bed as well

Had my scan today and found out we are having another BOY.

A BOY? Congrats! I want a boy so bad as well but won't find out until Thursday.

I want one of those convertible crib/toddler beds, too. I just found out about their existence and whoever invented them is genius.

No leaking yet, which to be honest, kind of thankful for.....my nipples have always been super sensitive, so the longer I can get pleasure out of them the better, lol. That makes me feel selfish :(
Is anyone else planning on breastfeeding and having weird feelings about their SO 'playing' with their breasts? I feel a little weird sometimes and Im hoping it goes away, lol. I like my boobs and now Im worried theyre going to be de-sexualized. Strange, I know, just curious.

My husband likes "small perky titties" and I was always a C-D cup so he was never into my breasts. However, I have a funny story about this. I literally became a G cup during this pregnancy (for real) and one day he asked if he "could play with them." I was like WTF because he loves smaller breasted women but I happily obliged. It seemed out of character for him, but I guess every man is a boob guy deep down inside!

OMG, me too! And that crusty stuff is hard to clean off! It is incredibly gross. I thought it was dried colostrum at first but it sticks to the skin so much, I am starting to think it might be dried up skin??? Who knows?!
 
Oh yea, definitely going with a convertable crib. I think it is a total must have to save money. My mom gave me the lecture on how she replaced each childs crib with a toddler bed and then twin bed and so should I. I was like, " they didn't really have convertible cribs when we were babies, and it saves hundreds of dollars, I think I'll stick with my plan."
My mom is silly.
 
A convertible crib seems like the smart way to go. We already have a crib that was a hand-me-down from my aunt. So I was thinking about getting a bunk bed with the full size bed at the bottom. Have the babies sleep on the bottom once they get older, and my step-daughter can sleep on the top bunk. I just need to figure out if there is a railing or guard that I can place on the bottom bunk to keep the babies from falling onto the floor, because I have hard wood floors. I sure don't have room to place two toddler beds and a twin bed in one room.
 
Convertible crib + changing table + drawers = $289 at Walmart.com. Should I just order these online or check out a furniture store? Would a furniture store be outrageously priced compared to this??
 
Congrats Bernie!! Wow, lots of boys! I think wantb is going to have a pink day!

That is around the price I'm looking at from Walmart. The other places I have looked at are around 300 -400 just for the crib. Though sometimes they have a better price in store if you go in to your local walmart that they don't advertise online. It's worth a shot.


Also ladies if you have a local The Children's Place, go in and take a look at their 50 % off wall. The items are already discounted and have an additional 50% off. I got like 8 pairs of nice pants for like 30$.
 
So hey everybody, my internet crapped out on me for like a week plus, so I haven't been on in a while. :cry:

So far not much has happened. I did get to schedule my ultrasound, its on the 3rd. I am very excited, its at 18.5 weeks so I am hoping baby will be big enough to tell if its a boy or girl. I am going to try and keep up with all these conversations now. :wacko:
 
I think this is the most exciting week so far in our forum!!

We are def getting a convertible crib. It only makes sense to me financially. I think WalMart has some great deals and definitely worth checking them out. Also, Amazon has some awesome deals on furniture sets. I think I'm going to register on Amazon and Target. I hate going into Babies r us and would like to avoid that place like the plague. I will probably change my mind... But I really dislike it.

Where and when are you going to register?
 
I've already registered at Babies r us. But I need to update it once we know whether its boy or girl. I may also register somewhere else too, not sure yet. Its good because it works as a shopping list if people don't use it for the shower.
 
Welcome back Nariah. You've missed out on s some crazy and interesting conversations lol.

I registered at Amazon and target. I hate babys r us, too. To me, it's too over priced. Target is feasible for people. Amazon worked out great for us because I have family who lives out of state and that's better for them as it's convenient. Really love Amazon! So this time, I'm gonna be doing the same. Target + Amazon.
 
See my husband wanted to register really early on and so babies r us was the easiest and the first thought. Its our first baby and we didn't have much experience on the matter. Thankfully most of the things we registered for aren't the most expensive. But I thought later that it might be a good idea to register somewhere else too.

This is the exact set I am getting. We are going with expresso. The set also comes with the toddler rail and I think the changing pad for the changing table. It's an awesome deal!
 
pleased to announce that baby number 4 is a baby girl! Still in shock but over the moon! Totally convinced she was a boy! X
