I second that..

Dude... these boards are a busy place lately... I don't think I've been able to get caught up all day!

 

[Sun_Flower]

So Eden will NOT sleep in her moses basket at night... she slept in it fine for the first couple of weeks but now refuses, the only place she sleeps is her bouncy chair... but she cant sleep in it overnight can she? or is it ok? Shes in it now asleep because OH had her and she wouldnt go down in her moses basket so he put her in her chair but now I cant sleep because I dont know if its safe for her to be in her chair overnight...

 

[AmaryllisRed]

It's probably fine if her head isn't off to one side?
I don't know... Thomas slept in his car seat a lot for the first few weeks. It's probably not ideal, but you know, in the early days, you do what works.
I would let her stay there as long as she's comfy and if it worries you, call someone in the morning and ask.
But my professional mommy opinion is, it's probably fine.

Raych is that the bright lights one? I was going to ask u about that as we don't have the box anymore!
Wondered how long they can be in them for and can u use them straight from birth..

AFM - been for a swim (pool closed for 2 weeks now boohoo..) just going to do some bits around the house to keep busy until scan... p.s I feel like a big fat beached whale these last few days..like I have put on more than necessary excess fat, blah... I had such good intentions so didn't expect this to happen.. I'm doing some form of exercise 5 or 6 days a week and having healthy meals but obviously also been having too many 'treats' !!!

 

[Sun_Flower]

Yeah Vic, bright starts. Its all comfy and soft and secure and she loves it but don't know how long she should be in it for :S xxx

Rach - i wouldnt advise letting Eden sleep in a bouncy chair unless it goes totally flat. Maybe if shes not happy in her moses basket you need to move her to her cot. My friends baby only lasted 10 weeks in the moses basket but was much littler then your Eden.

 

[Sun_Flower]

The bouncy chair reclines fully back, that's how she sleeps in it. We don't have a cot for her yet because we couldn't afford one and thought she'd be ok in her moses basket for longer... I think the problem is that in the bouncy chair she's all contained and snug, whereas she's got more space in the moses basket and I don't think she likes it, something which would surely be more of a problem in a cot as there's even MORE room? I've tried swaddling her in a blanket but she just wriggles out of it We've managed to get her sleeping in her Moses basket twice today, dunno what'll happen tonight. Maybe we just have to persevere with it? xx

I *think* I've got the start of a bfp.. This was taken after holding my pee for 3 hours, but I had drunk a ton of water.. Kind of just decided last minute to test and now I'm freaking out.. Ganna hold it for another 4 hours w/ no liquids. It's super faint, but there is definitely something there IRL.

[Isabel209]

[Sun_Flower]

Fingers crossed Ysa - try it with FMU and see what happens - what a great end to the year that would be! xxx

Hi Girls

Just back from scan, I know they can be out with weight estimates but well they are measuring him bang on 'average' at 6lbs4oz and 46th%...

Head 81st%
Abs 57th%
and little Legs !! 5th%

Head still slightly larger than I would like to push out but he must get the shorter legs from Steve or my Dad as it's not from me !!!

She did say his right kidney was fine but left kidney was enlarged - apparently this is very common? I'm not going to google it as I have a midwife appointment tmrw to go over the scan results & check I'm happy..

YSA - I can't wait to see the next test u do ahhhhh just before xmas aswell, I really hope this is it

 

[lilrojo]

Vicki happy to hear the scan went well.. and you will be fine at delivery.. i wouldnt worry too much.. you muster the strength to get that head out.. Then almost instantly relief.. lol hope you have a good rest of your day.. and your not a beached whale even if you feel it.. the end is hard.. but almost over..

Ysa-fxed for you cant wait for the next test..

AFM resting today as the rest of week will be busy with baking and parties.. today is my only day off.. lol thought i would share my latest bump pic too from today 30 weeks.. 10 to go.. hoping 9 though as i went early last time..

 

[DrGomps]

ysa, I think I see the outline of a line if I put it in iphoto and adjust the contrast...fx'ed!!!

Isabel, all you can do is wait it out, I had some spotting too in earl pregnancy, its pretty common, but I know that the first trimester is a really scary time.

Logan, fab bump...it looks lower to me...or maybe I am crazy.

steve just made a costco run, so will use the ingredients for some fun baking/cookies...latkes anyone?

 

[DrGomps]

Oh and Rachel, I wanted to add that my bouncer doesn't go all the way flat and my pediatrician said its safe for her to sleep in but that I should try and get her to sleep in her bassinet. So I use a shirt I was wearing to give her my scent and a boppy pillow at her feet to prevent her from flailing them around and make her feel more snug and she sleeps there at night for the most part.

 

[lilrojo]

Andrea i do think it is a bit lower.. I feel movements a lot more down low now and I can breathe a bit easier.. not up in the ribs anymore when i sit.. so not sure.. but i kinda agree lol..

 

[FloridaGirl21]

I tested again waited three hours, didn't drink & I can see this line a lot better IRL, and I'm 110% sure it's pink. It's still really hard to catch it on camera, but I'm not seeing things!!

I'm frustrated cause I can't get a good pic on my phone, but IRL you just take one look & you can see it.. testing in the morning!

 

[Sun_Flower]

I can DEFINITELY see that one!!

 

[Traskey]

I can see it on the second pic! Good luck Ysa!!!!!!!

Just remember the progesterone keeps your temps high so don't rely on the thermometer right now.

Vicki, so pleased your scan went well

Logan, love your new scan pic

Hi to Stacey, Andrea, Sarah, Cass, who did I forget? I am totally brain dead.
