Please read on what's normal swelling and what needs attention

hmm, if the facial swelling is mild, it could just be water retention... but heck, I'd mention it to see if they will get you an appointment sooner... might as well try, right?

If you are concerned at all it's always worth mentioning.

my hips are so sore today- one almost popped out of socket while I was walking up the stairs! SO great to be taking it easy today.

tried installing our carseat in my car... despite reading up on it and reading the whole manual, we still can't get it installed tight
Oh well, we were going to go find one of those workshops and have it inspected etc anyway, lol!

 

[heyyady]

They'll inspect it at the hospital too- Ca law...

Thanks this was alot of help. Going to the er tomorrow because I dnt want to risk anything waiting on an appointment

Your carseat can move an inch in either direction where it is anchored down. The movement actually makes it work more effectively. Good luck getting it figured out though- our center seat belt is getting fixed in the morning and we'll probably install carseat soon after- if not just grab it when we go to the hospital. MOving makes it hard to keep anything in the backseat.

I agree with Darlingme and southerngal2, I'd just work as close to my due date as possible so that I'd have more time with the baby. I can see why you'd be tempted to take off earlier though, Lisa, you have a sweet maternity leave!

OT: What type of laundry detergent are you ladies using to pre-wash all the baby clothes? My mom said that she used to use something called Ivory Snow when we were babies (but her last baby was a baby 18 years ago ) and I can't find it anywhere.

I use Ivory snow as everything breaks me out.. the only place I can find it is at the Schnucks... and it is not a liquid it comes in a smaller box

That's the one thing I love about having a base for several months. Only have to install it once and car seat comes in and out. Though it took me awhile to figure out how to get the car seat in and out of the base last time lol.

had another ultrasound done today it was the screening test thing to see if there are any issues but i think were good not sure but it went well other than baby not moving when she tried to get it to move and it was sticking it tongue out most of the time. i also measured another day ahead so thats now 2 days ahead

 

[southerngal2]

Good to hear all is ok sma1588!

Now that im in the 3rd trimester my temper is so short. I know who my true friends are because they come back after I curse them. I just get fed up so easily.

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one, lol. I swear sometimes I can rip someones head off for looking at me sideways, ugh. I really hate being grumpy.

I need to go buy some laundry detergent since I sorted through all my baby clothes today. I used dreft last time and when my son was about a year I found out Target has a knock off of dreft.

It's been so long that I really don't remember what I used, but do remember not using anything special for very long. I guess I've been lucky and none of my babies have had any kind of sensitivity.

They'll inspect it at the hospital too- Ca law...

Really? I've never had anyone inspect my carseat installation at the hospital before? Is this new? I'm so behind on things, lol... guess I better start thinking about what carseat to buy soon, huh.

[Sweet_Mama]

Too cute! I can see the tongue sticking out, hehe.

 

[sma1588]

[MissFox]

sma- i'm bad at nub guesses and it's hard to see if there is one or not but I love the tongue shot!!

 

[sma1588]

[southerngal2]

Aww, too cute!

I had a feeling on all three of mine. I just knew that they were all girls and I was right!
