Welcome! October 5 is a good day! It's my birthday so I'm a little biased!

I wish I could tell you how to change your signature, but I forgot. I did a lot of exploring. I would do it again, but I'm on my phone so it's a pain.


I plan on breastfeeding and cloth diapering with disposables while out. I just don't know anything about cloth diapers yet! But it's something I told myself I would do many years ago!

Has anyone decided on what they are doing for feeding, bottle or breast?

Also is anyone having cloth nappies?x

I'll be bf again. I did with my other two and I'm do glad I stubbornly stuck to it with my first (I almost cracked at one point lol) when I see how much formula is!! Ridiculous prices.
I also just bought some cloth nappies last night and very excited to give them a go this time! One lot I got at birth to potty so I'm gonna test them ones on my toddler when they arrive

I've been researching nappies for about a week and finally think I've got my head around all the different types (think been the main word lol) but I'll be using disposables while meconium is going on and over night or long journys/days out.

Got myself a pumpkin!

 

[zephyr]

I'm so starving!! This past week I've woken up during the night hungry. Well the last few nights I've been having a second dinner later on as I'm hungry before bed now haha.

After dinner tonight I wound up eating a bowl of roasted figs, an apple, a 2 egg omelette and a huge green salad!!!

Anyone else really hungry?

Zephyr-I am hungry all the time too-I sent my hubby downstairs for food at midnight. Still feel sick if I don't eat. Think it's normal though/I alwYs get super hungry when pregnant!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Ps-three baby boys on our by bumpkin list now!

Hopefully we will get some pink soon too! Exciting finding out what everyone's having!

Congrats yoyo on 15 weeks! Hope you don't get sick.

I plan on breastfeeding but as this is my first baby I have no idea what to expect and have heard some horror stories - so I'm not going to worry if it doesn't work for me or baby - and will be quite happy to switch to formula if so.

I think I will be using disposables but need to look into this a bit more.

Zephyr - I'm so hungry all the time - I can't sleep in in the mornings anymore as my stomach won't let me! (And I want to make the most of nice sleepy mornings!) - you're very good with your healthy choices though - I need to get more veg inside me.

I am really suffering from hayfever at the moment - I had to take a zirtek a couple of days ago as I was in meetings all day at work but I don't want to get into a routine of doing this. I think I'm going to buy some local honey to help. Any more suggestions? I'm dreading the whole summer without medication!

Wow... so much insight! This is my first baby and I haven't thought so much about all the diapering and breastfeeding. Looks like it is time I start planning/researching on what would suit me better.

My mom told me strictly that I was cloth diapered and so should be my baby But I like newlywed's idea of disposable when out and cloth when at home. Sounds reasonable and doable. ((pssstt - In India we hire maids for all cleanings and washings. Oh no... we are not oppressing anyone... we pay them handsomely ))

Breastfeeding sounds like a healthy option provided I get enough to satisfy baby's hunger. A few days ago Mamamac mentioned placenta encapsulation enhances breastmilk and it got me intrigued. I'm still going to deeply research on this.

Like La mere put it so sweetly, it is everyone's own choice and all the options are damn good. No saints in here.

I could do with one of those maids here! That's great, as it's hard work so should make things easier for you!

It's definitely everyone's choice-as with breast or bottle feeding. We make choices that are the best for us.

Glad it's not just me then! I all of a sudden started eating a whole bunch more. I think the 2nd tri must of started hehe

laura - ive been craving apples which is weird cos I absolutely cant stand apples usually. Its the one fruit I hate to eat.
also been craving salad with red wine vinegar on it. If it doesnt have the vinegar I cant eat it.
im also gluten free so I kinda have to eat healthy. I would love burgers and donuts and would eat them if I could

 

[Loopy Laura]

Haha I wish I had cravings for healthier things! I love red wine vinegar though so that's given me ideas! Thanks!

 

[zephyr]

Hehe yeah its so tasty. I made my own oven fries last week and drizzled that on them. It was great!

 

[Yo_Yo]

Mmm...doughnuts! Nice!

I'm going to make a conscious effort to eat well. Hope it will help with the sch clot if I do.
Diet has a huge impact on how you feel!

I've never heard of roasted figs! They sound delish! If you can tell, yes,I'm hungry all the time! Lol

I sent my husband for burgers last night! Bad bad bad! Lol then when he got here, I didn't want it anymore,the dog had a good snack!

Congrats on 15 weeks Yoyo!

Mommyberry I think I need to look into moving to India That would be heaven!

Welcome monjon07!

14 weeks today! Woohoo! Last couple of days I think I have been feeling baby

Does everyone plan on announcing the name before baby arrives? With my ds we started talking about the names we were considering and everyone had an opinion, so we ended up keeping it a secret until he was born. I would like to do the same this time, but now that I have a son it may help him bond ahead of time if he knows the name already. Ladies who already have 2 or more what did you do?

 

[CharmedKirsty]

I've been craving lemon cake today but I don't have the energy to make or buy one.

 

[Mushymilkfor2]

I don't have two or more, but we did tell everyone already what we plan on naming baby if its a boy or girl. Thankfully for us our family really likes the names we chose.

I don't think it should matter what others say. When my older sister had my nephew she told everyone what she wanted to name him and everyone (including myself) hated the name. She used it anyway, and I couldn't picture my nephew with any other name.

 

[La Mere]

Well, as I never found out the gender with either of my two, their names came after they were born. We had a few names picked out but never announced anything beforehand. It's kind of frustrating, but it is also kind of fun to see the baby.. hold them and then pick out their name. My son didn't have a middle name till he was a few days old, lol.

 

[Yo_Yo]

Kel21-didn't announce names until they were here. It sounds funny, but I wanted to see if the names suited them!
We told parents we liked this or that name though beforehand. But not whic one we has chosen.
