hi ladies just wanted to stop in and say hello.....seems like all the cali ladies have had there LOs already and im the only 1 left....

only a few more months and i will be joining you all again...
ive started to get things ready for her already though,all her clothes she has so far (before the baby shower) have been washd and folded, her bassinet is up and her side of the room is done. the only thing left to do is get all the stuff from the baby shower and put that up and wash everything.....i know im getting tons of clothes people have been telling me they have bags of clothes for my baby girl already....

Oh, getting ready is so much fun! I have so many clothes this time around because of all the hand-me-downs people gave me. I was very lucky that way. I plan to pass it all on to my best friend (and his husband) who are working on expanding their family with the foster/adopt system.

Maggie finally fits in most 0-3, weighing 8 pounds, 12 ounces at her last appointment.

Sorry it took so long!

Here she is, our precious Adrian!

sma - I loved all the hand-me-downs I got! There were some super cute things that of course were not available in this 'season'.
But I'll admit I've gotten a little sad that he has so many. I don't have any excuse to buy him things that I want to get him, lol!
I'm fully stocked on clothes through 6 month sizes and have quite a few beyond that too!

 

[sma1588]

these arnt all hand me downs though people are actually buying them so i will feel bad if i get soooo many in the same sizes and she never wears them. plus i have no wear to put all these clothes lol i think shes going to be set for the next year and with x mas right around the corner from her due date just means more clothes!!!! not to sound rude or anything but i hope we get other things than just clothes from the baby shower because she actually needs some of the other stuff not 100 different outfits for the week...

 

[lisaf]

lol, I feel you on the clothes as a baby shower gift! It was too much of a pain to return most of the gifts I got that I really didn't want/need. So I have a million bath towels

I did exchange some clothes for bigger sizes when people kept buying me 3m sizes!

 

[sma1588]

ya i have a feeling i will end up with a million of something too...and my cuzin is about 4 months being me so if she has a girl i can pass some clothes on to her. i already have some from my bfs neice but thats mostly dresses and shes due around the end of sept so i will need some long sleve onsies and little leggings so that is some clothese that i need but i really hope i atleast get some of the bottles and that kind of stuff too

I was lucky with the ones given to me because they were mostly the exact right season. I know what you mean about not having a reason to buy things though... sometimes I wish I could justify buying some cute clothes.

I never buy clothes for gifts for this reason. I buy socks, blankets, diapers, ointment, etc. The boring stuff, you know, because I know it is well appreciated.

Perhaps you could enlist someone's help in returning for you? I know it's a pain. The one thing I got that I did want to exchanged did not come with a gift receipt, ugh.

 

[sma1588]

i usually buy the boring things too. i make baskets with just like bottle cleaners,wash cloths, baby oil,shampoo, lotion, socks, bibs, maybe 1 outfit, mittens.etc

 

[lisaf]

the stuff I didn't return/exchange was just too much of a pain in the butt because the stores weren't local to me and my energy for running around was not very high. A few things that I REALLY didn't want, I had no idea where they were bought. Then there was the fake gift receipt fiasco where I got re-gifted stuff with gift receipts that weren't valid.....

I always buy off the registry and then add a few things that I want to give them and I always always tell them that I don't mind if they return anything.

 

[sma1588]

that sux they would regift u something then do that so u cant return it and get something u need...maybe they felt bad comming with nothing?

i was looking on youtube for how to make a crib bumper and found wonder bumpers....have any of you ladies heard about these?
i think im going to make some of these but out of pluming foam instead of just padded material....i already have the material but i have time to do the bumpers

 

[southerngal2]

All I got was clothes at my shower!
I registered for lots of things I needed but apparently everyone just likes buying dresses for baby girls.

Some of the clothes are way too big, like a size 2! All I can do with those is store them for the next couple of years.

 

[sma1588]

o man that sux, i would probly end up loosing them or get tired of them being around and give them away....i hope that some people will just get gift cards if they didnt get anything but an outfit from the list.only because i could go buy that stuff for her with those and not have all those clothes. i will be happy just to have people i love at my shower but dont wanna be doing trips to the store 7 months prego in 100 degree weather

 

[MissFox]

I got so many newborn clothes and I specifically put on my registry that I didn't need ANY- unless it was on the registry. Got NONE of the clothes I registered for. I ended up returning over $100 in gifts that I didn't want/need. Fun times.

Anyone else have recent pics?

 

[MissFox]

OMGGG SOOOO CUTE!!!!!!!

so any of you have any natural remidies for Bacterial Vaginosis??? I have that and a yeast infection that I'm already being treated for but they prescribed Flagyl and after reading about it on the handout I was given and online I don't think it would be wise to take it and if I do then I would ahve to stop BFing (for at least a day after I stop taking the pills which I don't think Ican pump enough to keep mysupply with work and commuting and all this other nonesense that is my life right now)

 

[lisaf]

umm, when I had BV I used a topical treatment but it was prescription... that BV sucked so bad I wanted it gone fast!

 

[MissFox]

I read vinegar could get rid of it so I've been rinsing with it after I potty- it's diluted... made that mistake the first time lol.
I'm blaming it on mommy brain b/c I KNEW it should have been diluted.
