*October Bumpkins*2014* 43 Babies Born!

[La Mere]

I've cloth diaper both of my kids and will use them for this one! I've never done the placenta encapsulation but would definitely like to try at some point!

 

[StarBrites]

Sooo we ordered my first pregnancy item over the weekend! It's a swimsuit for this summer, lol. I'm really excited to get it and go to the beach when it gets hot! I attached a picture at the bottom.

Other than that, I've still got yucky morning sickness with vomiting. Had to go to the ER and get some fluids the other day because I was getting too dehydrated. Ended up getting more Zofran but it doesn't seem to really work anymore. I think I'm going to try the Unisom/B6 thing. I can't feel the baby yet but holy cow every time we see it on the U/S it is EVERYWHERE. I'm a little worried when I do feel it, it's going to be kicking me all over the place =P I've also got a nice constant sneeze, runny nose, headache mess going on. Can't wait for that to be over!

StarBrites-- Love the bathing suit. Where did you order it from? I'm thinking of just getting a bikini top and bottoms.

Very cute swim suit. I am soo mad right now I lost the bottoms to my favorite swimsuit so now I def have to go out and buy a swimsuit. If I can even get clearance to swim. I have a short cervix so I guess I'll just have to wait and see. It's going to be one miserable summer if I can't swim , ugh!

Everytime I have a friend or family member that has a baby I crochet them a baby blanket. I love to crochet, and I love the feeling of giving something that I made. Unfortunately for me I don't know anyone who crochets. So I am making myself a baby blanket!

I got it from Seraphine Maternity! I wish I could wear bikinis but I always have to have like.. shorts or a skirt for bottoms because I get extremely bad razor burn when I trim/shave my bikini line, so I have red bumps everywhere and it looks gross My last swim suit doesn't fit anymore, lol! My boobs have definitely grown and fall out of the top.. so I figured I'd just get a whole new one


I didn't think of having complications with not being able to swim. Hm. I hope I can swim, too.. if not I will be sad but I still want to lay on the beach at least!

Cute swim suit!

And cute baby blanket! I don't knit or crochet at all but my mother in law is amazing at it! Shes already making cute things for the twins

 

[MamaMac123]

Ooo I love that so many of us are cloth diapering! I thought I'd be the only one!

Thanks, my grandma used to be the one to do it for us, but she passed and now I've taken over. She's the one who taught me, and I'm really glad she did.

I also plan on cloth diapering, not too sure where to start or what products to get yet, but I'll figure it out eventually!

 

[sprite30]

Aww very nice blanket. My grandmother made me one years and years ago. It's packed away as when we moved to this house there were a bunch of boxes that I never had the chance to go through so I def have to dig it out. That's probably the only thing is all the 10 boxes down there that I actually want. I'll be doing some major spring cleaning here soon

I crochet also. I just made DH's cousin a blanket and a headband. I'll be making my own blanket as well. I've made some hats and booties also.

I crochet too! I made this newborn hat yesterday. Hubbys nana is cleaning out her house as she is moving and gave me probably.close to a hundred balls of wool so I started crocheting.
I made my daughter a blanket for her 7th birthday. She loves it! Its quite a large blanket and it took me about a month to do and is made with soft baby wool so its super soft.

Curious....

1. Is anyone considering or planning on doing placenta encapsulation? When I first heard of it I was grossed out but the more research I did the more sense it made. Now I've decided to go for it. Wondering if anyone else is thinking about it

2. Cloth diapering? Anyone? I have a few friends doing it and again, didn't love the idea at first but the more I've learned the more I like the idea. Just decided on our diaper styles and brands yesterday. Anyone else planning to cloth diaper?

I wont be doing placenta encapsulation. Ive heard its good too but I dont think theres many that do it here and if they did its probably really expensive. I've had pnd before but never had it after the twins surprisingly

I cloth diaper the twins. The first few months we didnt as they pooped heaps and it was crazy!! And newborn poop leaked out the sides cos the nappies didnt fit all too well. Once they started solids we started cloth and its been great. We have saved so much money! When we moved house we took a cloth break and we used 400 nappies in a small amount of time I couldnt believe how fast we went through that box so we quickly switched back to cloth.
We use disposables over night so they would wake less tho as we found they woke more and needed to be changed in cloth and although that works okay with one baby having to do it twice or more a night got old pretty quick.
we have about 30 cloth osfa nappies and that's enough for the twins if we wash and dry them every 2nd day.

we will be doing cloth again this time too

Thats beautiful! I'm holding off on making any clothing type things until I know the gender. I can't wait to find out and crochet the heck out of things!

That's terrible! Why is she being a bitch about it?

 

[CharlieKeys]

Apparently having more than two kids is disgusting, and (we're living with them until we find a house ... I do all their cooking, cleaning, washing, washing up etc) it's bang out of order expecting them to cope with a new baby .... Urm we'll be out by May?! How having 4 kids is the end of our lives etc. Had enough of her rubbish.

 

[Kittycat155]

Sorry CharlieKeys. If MIL is told mine will flip. She has yet to get over I married her son-over 4 years ago! Just keep your head up and ignore her much as you can.

So to add to my vent yesterday, hubby just got a job after.. Awesome right? Except it's 6 hours away! Hello stress!
