What a great diaper bag Campn! so cute, and functional

As for clothes, I'm focused mostly on footed onesies. I have the feeling my daughter will be one of those sock hating babies.

Hopie - I have heard of Floradix. My OBs nurse actually recommended it. Thanks so much for letting me know. How awful to throw up 7 times this morning. I am so sorry you are so sick. Let me know how your test goes tomorrow. Will be thinking of you!


Xan - love the stroller! Great colour too. I have purchased my stroller, but it is still in the box. lol

Campn- do you mind me asking where you got that bag? I have a backpack one I used for DS and I love it but I want a girlie one this time.

That's the one I ordered. I did order mine from Amazon though but same price and everything! It has such great reviews!

For those that aren't mad on pink girly stuff - www.vertbaudet.com
I don't know if it ships stateside but they have stuff that's girly and not overly pink. And the boys stuff is cute too!

Oh and finally got a pic up of what I'll be taking to hospital for baby. Just got to add one or two more things, like a baby towel and cotton wool.

I am totally the wrong person to ask when it comes to number you should have in terms of your stash I did some basic googling and would estimate that at least 30 so you can wash every other day and still have some to use while others are in the laundry. I will recommend getting a good washing routine from the get go to help avoid any stinks. Fluff love group on facebook is excellent for helping with wash routine. Number would really depend on the system you go for, aio, prefold and wrap, pocket etc, I would say dont go all out on one brand but get a few to try

MummaMoo - can I ask are you using baby wipes and not cotton wool with water for newborn? I had it drilled into my head that wipes were a big no no?

 

[MeganS0326]

MummaMoo - Love the hospital wardrobe you've got put together! Super cute!

 

[amantila]

EEEP I'm so excited! My friend told me she bought me the bedding set we picked out and I'm so excited to get it! Look at how adorable it is: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Little-B...ket_id=irsbucketdefault&beacon_version=1.0.1&

Going in my elephant themed yellow, grey, and white nursery :] It's perfect! Yay!

campn - I forgot to post the ranges the results can be between. THey wrote HI right beside my Gluscose Fasting result of 7.8. I am thinking I am still ok becuase my 1hr and 2hr results are

I sort of recall my doctor said they'd look at two out of three, that if two of the results were high, it was a problem. So, maybe you passed because two of the results were good?

But every doctor seems to do it slightly differently as far as the threshold they want to see. Let us know what they say when you finally get the doctor's report! I'm curious

I asked you because I want an enabler But, good to know 30 is the minimum. Not sure I can do laundry every single day, so I guess that's an excuse to buy extras I'll check out that fluff love group, thanks for the tip!

Aman- Oh that's so so cute!!! I wanna see pictures of your nursery please please!

Just got an email saying my pump has shipped. I just put on the order late last week, I thought I'd get it at 37 weeks or something!

 

[MummaMoo]

MummaMoo - can I ask are you using baby wipes and not cotton wool with water for newborn? I had it drilled into my head that wipes were a big no no?

Ciz, I'm taking both, but last time even the HCAs used the wipes on Sophie (I couldn't do the first few nappy changes as I had a spinal block for the surgery to repair the tear) but there was no mention of a no wipes policy.

 

[hopie2015]

Thanks so much everyone. I don't think it's a bug, but who knows. Probably something I ate. Was trying to eat a lot of fruit and protein and think they are hard for me to digest. My tummy swells up so much whenever i eat. I really do best on the pizza/bread diet! But know it's not good for baby.
Stomach pains a bit better today but feel zero energy.
Thanks Campn- I will think happy thoughts and oh said if I hold my nose while drinking the drink, it will help?!

Love all the postings of what you guys have bought. Cool stroller, Xanz. I really have to start looking at stroller and baby carriers. Still haven't bought one baby item!

Mari- though it's rather pricey, I would try the Floradix. I'm going to start taking soon also. Think it also has some b vitamins that help energy.

Baby has been moving around like a maniac..flips, saults, it's crazy!! will be interesting today on the scan.
Ciz- I didn't know wipes aren't good for baby? Have to look into that.

Hope- how are you feeling?

Wishing everyone a great day~

I think it is pretty old advice that only cotton wool and water was allowed on baby, I have never used cotton wool and water on aleks bum but I certainly used wipes, I chose the huggies pure in the UK. I think as long as you look for the ones with the least additives like a pure or extra sensitive you should be fine!

I would take a stash shot but I haven't yet got all the nappies i have ordered, but I have LOADS can never have enough, just too cute I will happily upload a few pics hold on!

 

[x-ginge-x]

Have some bumgenius pockets some close popins and several more happy flutes on the way Although there are 14 less of the pockets in the top pic ha I sold a few to fund others ** I accept no responsibility for any nappy addicts I create in the posting of these photos**

So this is weird for me, you second + timers might laugh, but my belly button looks like it's about to pop. It's very shallow at the moment. Does it always pop? If so, when is "normal" for popping. Lol, normal in pregnancy...

 

[xanzaba]

Oh, and hopie- I think if I don't eat some carbs at dinner, especially complex ones, my nausea is really bad in the morning. It's funny because I'm not much of a carb person, but I've been getting hungry for pad thai at 9 in the morning. It's hard between being gluten-free and not being able to eat big meals to find satisfying meals that strike a good balance, but pad thai seems to be it!

 

[x-ginge-x]

I finally got that darn snugglers image in my signature!! and my belly button never popped with my first and I had a 10lber popped ones give me the heebiejeebies!

Ah ok. See I had 3 different midwives tell me no wipes as it's too harsh for newborn skin incase they reacted to it and shouldn't use wipes until she was 2 months. I tell you it's a blinking job and half cleaning their first black tar poop with cotton wool and water haha.

I might have just had a group of midwives who were told this. But I'm checking this info again on Friday with my midwife and I'll get back to you what I was told =)
