Hopeful, I have Martha Stewart carpet in my master bedroom. It has a lifetime stain guarantee. Everything comes right off because it beads and doesn't soak in!

Can't sleep heart burn woken me up! Maan!! Hopeful my dog went through a lhr of peeing on carpet just b careful what u clean it up with I think biological washing powder an water was good as if u put something with ammonia in it it makes the dog think a dog peed an the leave there scent ahain! We Just ignored her behaviour an made no attempt to talk to her for good 15 mins if she did it! One of us would clean it up with that an within about 3 weeks she quit! Took a while but st Bernard's can b stupid! Lol! Sorry don't no bout decent carpets but I no that much!! Lol x

Croy I am getting our room plastered then may order I think! Have you done your belly messurememt yet? X

Heart yay scan time!! Pic? Ur gonna b perfect I no it! X
My next scan 5th April!! X

We have stain master which is good carpet, easy to clean up spills. Another thing you could do is paint your floor boards with oil based paint. It stops any animal pee seeming into the wood and smelling. When we moved into our house, hte previous owners had had a really old dog who had peed all over. We tried to clean the carpets but when we pulled them up it was soaked into the wood and making the smell much stronger.
When we got new carpet we got beige - who's idea was that? But I think I am going to get a rug for the babies room in something darker.

Heart -good luck with your scan... I'm sure everything will be perfect! Don't forget to post a picture.

Croy- baby hiccups sound adorable!!!!

Hopeful- I don't know much about carpet brands, but I use vinegar and baking soda to get stains out of carpets... Works wonders with smells and it's natural - nontoxic.

afm- Got another beta today: 598 that's up from 133 on Friday, so I'm starting to feel a bit more confident! One last draw on Wednesday and then I'll go for my first internal ultrasound on Thursday. I'm psyched!

Morning girls had a fight with hubby last night our dog skye jumped up on my stomache last night and I snapped and said I wanted to get rid of her put it this way his reactions were more concerned for the dog rather than the baby x

 

[petitpas]

Morning everyone!

Jen, are you serious about wanting to get rid of the dog or was it just a bad moment?

Davies, sorry about the horrible heartburn When mine was bad tums just didn't cut it, especially as we are only allowed seven a day when pregnant . I told my doctor and he immediately prescribed me gaviscon (so I got it for free!). I was hooked on it!

Hopeful, I don't know US carpets but we have a carpet cleaner I plan on using for major stuff (ducky poonami for example).

 

[jenny25]

It was a reaction too last night I'm fine now hun I just got such a shock xx

 

[bumpyplease]

hi ladies,

sorry not been on much over the weekend have been so busy.

i have scanned through but have forgotten most of what i have read!! baby brain!

I did read that sara got great betas today - yippee! that is very encouraging and so exciting! im so happy for you!

heart - how are you doing lovely? bed rest must be tough?

to everyone else, hope you are all well xx

 

[jenny25]

Got the call pickin up the keys for our new house in 25 min yay happy girl xxx

 

[bumpyplease]

yay how exciting jenny!!!

 

[heart tree]

OMG Sara that is an excellent beta! These are strong numbers! This is very encouraging.

Jen so excited for you to move. Don't worry about the dog jumping on you. Our babies are very well protected in our bellies.

Hopeful I loved that fruit link you sent. It looks like the next few weeks for us are a plateau. Baby doesn't grow as much according to that chart which is maybe why our fruit doesn't change. But how can they not be growing? I'm confused.

Scan is at 1pm. Davies they aren't going to look at the baby and I'm sure I'm not getting pics. That's ok. I know she's fine. She was kicking up a storm last night. Wherever I pressed on my belly, she would kick. Once I had my finger pressed into my belly and I could feel her do a roll. It was incredible. I just hope this rest has helped my cervix. Will update when I can.

 

[daviess3]

Sara yay fab betas
Yay Jen poor doggy didn't mean to! New house lovely news x

Pink what a relief! More great betas. This is good news on a Monday! Congrats

 

[croydongirl]

Sara and Pink - Your betas are great!!! Congrats.

Davies - So sorry you are not feeling good hun, I hope you are feeling better really soon. I haven't forgotten about the belly measuring, I just have to find the tape measure - its been misplaced in all the rearranging we have going on!

Jen - Exciting about the house!! Congrats!

Heart - Really, really hoping for good news from the scan later. So glad that she has been letting you know she is doing well in there! I love all the movements.

 

[hopeful23456]

jen - congrats on the place and don't lift anything moving! we have some dog issues too but they have learned to stay away from the belly

sara and pink - CONGRATS ON GOOD BETAS!!!

heart - good luck at scan! just when you think we are done with the internal ultrasounds....

davies - i hear ya! and i will join you in the pale, can't sleep, gassy, constipated club. can i add super moody too?

hi bumpy!

thanks for the carpet tips! i'm going to look at more carpet today, martha stewart, stainmaster and another kind that i forgot already...

 

[sara1]

Pink- Congrats on great betas!

Poor Davies- You sound sooo uncomfortable Prune juice? Flaxseed?

Jenny- Almost nothing more exciting than a new house!! Congratulations!

afm, I just got back from dropping dh at the airport and am home alone... had a serious cry at the airport (I don't normally have separation anxiety), made a bit of an emotional cake out of myself, but I'm hormonal so I'm allowed. Came home and ate everything out of the fridge... feeling a little better

 

[croydongirl]

Sara - Thinking of you, my hubs is out of town Wednesday through Saturday this week and I am working on having girlfriends stay with me because I hate to sleep alone in the house. I think you are amazing to have him be gone so long, you deserve everything you ate!!

Hopeful - Just wanted to share the tip someone shared with us. If you go to the post office and get the free packets they give you to change your address (they want people to do that online, so sometimes you have to ask for the packet) but they have a 10% off Lowes coupon which Home Depot will honor too. When we got our carpet from home depot we used it and it saved us a fortune because we had to re-carpet the whole house. I guess the packets could be different in MN but it could save you some money if you find carpet at HD or Lowes that you like.
