Hey guys its been awhile since i posted in here. Everythings going well. Went for my 20 week scan on tuesday and everything looks good. the tech confirmed it was a girl. (which im glad she did cuz my OH's first was suppose to b a girl and came out a boy lol) . My placent is still low lying its about 0.5cm away from cervix and anterior. i have to go back for another u/s to look at my placenta and babys spine oA of right now she is breech. which has got me a lil concerned because i want a natural birth and once again my oh's 2 girls were breech! any who 21 weeks today!

 

[MissFox]

My LO was breech at my 20 week scan and she turned. Hopefully yours does too. And hpoe your placenta moves as well.
Rosie is at work with my today. HEHEHE Big boss is out of town so I got the OK to bring her in since I didn't have a sitter.

love the pix of all the babies there so cute and growing so fast!!!!!

how long did they stay in newborn clothes or did u ladies just go straight to the 0-3 month sizes? the only reason i ask is because my baby shower is at the end of the month and if i get tons of newborn stuff i might have to take some back, just need to no what to keep

 

[JNA]

Kaliyah is 12lbs and wearing 3-6 months. I have given away tons of brand clothes. Next time im not washing anything till lo is here. I would advise lots of 0-3 clothes. Especially if your expecting a big baby!

MissFox I want to see new pics of Miss Rosie I bet you have her rotten lol.

BBy hope your placenta doesn't keep you from having your natural birth.

Rosie was in newborn for 2-3 weeks. She was 8lbs at birth (we knew she was gonna be bigger since she was 7lb at my 37 week growth scan). She has been in 0-3 since then and we're gonna start with the 3-6 jammies. She's too long for the others (except carters... BTW I LOVE THEIR SIZING!)
And how much you will need also will depend on how much they spit up and need a change of clothes. Rosie was in the same thing all day so in 7 days we only used 7 outfits. Got to the point I just changed her to wear what she had!
So more 0-3 (she spit up more in that size too lol... maybe just bc she was in it longer?) and 3/6. I specifically asked for no new newborn clothes (bought the couple of cute things I wanted) because I knew she wouldn't be in them very long. However- I also know a few babies who were in newborns until almost 3m.

JNA- I'm on my work computer so I'll have to upload some later tonight

It's funny, I got tons of 0-3months, but had to go out and buy preemie clothes to prepare since my LO is so tiny tiny, we're hoping to get to 3 lbs by the time she's born. It's so hard to plan ahead

 

[sma1588]

so it sounds like i will need lots of 0-3 months...i have some little onsies in just born and new born from carters that were already washed, new born sleep sack things and some outfits in new born. i think were almost done with the newborn stuff except the sleep n' plays we need those and we should be fine. im going to ask when they will tell me about how much they expect her to weigh so i have an idea of what to keep. i rather exchange the clothes for what she will wear than have them never worn

One thing I did not realize is that NEWBORN size is smaller at 5-8 pounds than 0-3 MONTHS size at 8-12 pounds. Maggie was in newborn for at least 2-3 weeks as the 0-3 were huge on her.

 

[lisaf]

even with my almost 10lb baby we wore newborn for 2 weeks I think... though at almost 2 months we're getting tight on the 0-3m size stuff
I didn't realize how much I had until after I washed it all and put it away and counted it. I had lots of hand-me-downs and only a handful of new items.
I HATE how sizing fluctuates so much, love Carter's sizing too!
Some brands seem to expand width-ways which is just weird to me, but maybe I have an unusually long and lanky baby?

ya i never thought about it untill reading a post on this site then it hit me that as odd as it sounds newborn is way smaller than 0-3. i guess the 0-3 are for those babies that are born at 11 lbs lol. i hate how the sizing is in different brands, i have newborn onsies that are way different sizes as far as how wide they are....so im thinking if she is born the end of sept then by x mas 0-3 should still be fitting her( i have 0-3 month x mas onsies)

that makes me feel better about having plenty of newborn onsies and pants because alot of people were saying they only fit for a couple of days if you have a smaller baby. your little man is pretty big so im pretty sure my little girl will fit just fine in newborn stuff but still dont need a TON of newborn stuff. i have alot of hand me downs too. mostly dresses in newborn and the little sleep sacks, i dont think dresses will get much use in winter lol

Heres acouple rosie pictures for your enjoyment

The pic of the ponytail is Rosie's first one. It was SO HOT and she was miserabe with her hair stuck to her neck- so I put it up. It was surprisingly easy.

 

[sma1588]

[AuntBug]
