Hi everyone and congrats to all of you mommies-to-be! I'm Veronica and I've been married to my husband Stan since October 7, 2006. We live in Indiana where we both grew up. Although Stan is 13 years older than me. He does Marketing for a living and I work in Payroll. This is our first baby so we are so excited but also nervous. Neither one of us know anything about babies so this should be an adventure. We normally spend our time riding motorcycles and hanging out with friends who's children are almost grown. This will definitely be a big change for us. I hope we can keep our sanity. :) Fortunately a couple we are very good friends with just had a baby in September so we are already learning a lot from them.
I wish you all the best of luck and hope we can all learn a lot from each other.

Well, I'm 31 weeks and I can safely say I'm feeling the pains of pregnancy. My freaking stomach is so sensitive. It's almost like I'm stretching so fast my skin can't keep up. It just hurts and aches with every move. Even clothes hurt sometimes. Thankfully no stretch marks have arrived yet. Also, my boy keeps punching my round ligament and it just feels like a knife is stabbing my side. I just can't seem to get relief from the pain and discomfort these past few days. I guess maybe this is just my body's way of getting me used to pain gradually. Ugh...

So we had our second birthing class tonight. This was the first one my husband went to. I hate to admit this but I think he might drive me crazy during labor. He's just not very attentive. And he was so figity in the class. He has to be out of town for the next two classes so my mom will go with me. As much as I want my husband to be my "coach" It's looking like my mom will most likely be more helpful. It's just not in the poor man's nature to deal well with these things. It's a little disappointing because I would love for him to be all about it. But I also know back when I was born, men were hardly involved at all.
On a cheery note, my showers are just around the corner. One on the 23rd and one on the 1st of March. I have to admit, I've been peeking at my registries! I can't wait! Next Dr. appt is Friday.

Alright, I'm going to use this page to vent my a$$ off. This must be my week to ride the emotional rollercoaster. My husband is not a sympathetic person at all and treats me as if I'm just as fit as I was before I was pregnant. Not once has he thought to help me more around the house or with grocery shopping or anything for that matter. He just left for 3 days and didn't change the bottle on the watercooler after I asked him at least 3 times to do it before he left. Now I have to go get some bottled water. I did laundry all weekend and he never once offered to carry the baskets up or down the stairs for me. I asked him if he could clean up after dinner last night since I was still doing laundry and paying bills and he just completely ignored that I even asked him. I've asked him to come with me when I do the grocery shopping because now days it wears me out. But no, he won't go with me and doesn't help carry them in when I get home. I don't think he's being this way on purpose, I really think he's just freaking clueless. I just want to knock some sense into him. I hope the baby takes a big crap on his laptop and throws up on his remote when he gets here. I know I sound awful but I'm just at that point today where nothing seems to be going right. Can't sleep, can't poop, insurance issues, dogs are on my nerves, sick of working, housekeeper quite with no notice and my husband is a slob, snow is moving in tonight and heartburn now attacks me nightly. AGGGHHH! Lord, please let this mood pass QUICK!
February 25, 2008
Thank goodness my terrible mood has passed. I'm just full of excitement these days. I've had my first shower with one more to go this Saturday. So strange seeing all of the baby items in my house. At times it seems like the time is going fast then at other times it seems like it's taking so long for him to get here. I'm just really excited to meet my baby boy. His movements are so pronounced now. I do have moments where I fear something will be wrong with him. Things like Downs Syndrome or various other things. I have no reason to be fearful but it is in the back of my mind at times.
Sleeping has become a chore these days which makes for a miserable day at work. And eating is no longer fun since I get so full so quickly and burp up everything for an hour afterward. Other than that I don't really have any major issues thank goodness. Just some common aches and pains. All in all I have to say I have enjoyed my pregnancy. I feel so blessed that things have gone so well. So many people, even close friends of mine, have had so much trouble and heartache with pregnancy. We are truly blessed. Just five weeks to go now. I hope they are as wonderful as the past weeks.

The time/effort you put into cloth diapers depends on which ones you buy. If you buy good ones the resale value is pretty good on them too. I bought mine for $22 a diaper (Happy Heiney's) & the re-sale value is $15 a diaper. Not bad! They have velcro to keep them together. They also have snaps so the diapers can be used until your child is potty trained! No need to buy a bigger size. They are a bit like the Bum Genius ones (except B.G. has snaps). The diapers I got are very easy to use. No special care or pre-soaking required! I simply take the 2 inserts out and then put everything together in a garbage pail with a tight lid to store them in, in our laundry room. We were using a non-sealed container but it got a bit smelly. It's much better now! You can find many different kinds of cloth diapers so I'm sure you would find something that works for you. I now have 18 cloth diapers & it's almost enough for washing every 2 days (depending on the day). You could start with 9 or so & build up from there. That's what we did. You'll just have to wash them every day (unless you get more). But if you are going to do disposables at day care most days, then you wouldn't need as many I don't think. Week-ends you should just have enough for a day. It's really up to you though.

That website has tons of information including a savings calculator & a FAQ section about using cloth diapers & finding the ones that are right for your budget & your baby. So really all in all that's not a lot of work! People buy them for their babies at daycare around here (provided they allow them of course), that's how easy they are. But like I said it depends on the kind/type you get. There are many to choose from now. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me. I LOVE using c.d. & would never go back to disposables!

Oh and thanks for the compliment!

Oh well! I am in Cincy! Too bad we aren't closer! I admit I am jealous of the two moms that got to hang out yesterday. :)

I do one extra load of laundry every two or three days with my cloth diapers. That's it. I think a diaper service is a waste of money because it really is so simple to just chuck the diapers in the washer. And I hang mine dry.
mommyinthesky - Saturday, 23 August
Hey, My sister and her husband have become cloth diaper pros. They wash them themselves since there is not diaper service here. What they do is soak them in Borax first, so they have a pail that they throw them into. They scrape the big poop off into the toilet first, but then soak the diapers, then they wash them all about every other day. I'd wanted to do it originally and bought all kinds of cloth diapers, but Jacob's butt was too sensitive for cloth. I thought it was the other way around, that cloth would be better, but not so. Anyway, my sister's baby does very well with cloth diapers, but they 've just started using disposables at night sometimes and on longer outings because the cloth ones really leak sometimes. But I think doing half and half would probably be doable. We can't use wipes for Jacob, so we have to use washcloths and we wash them in bleach and then run an empty load with just bleach.

Try G diapers, there is not much washing. In fact I just wash them when I do my regular laundry. If you haven't ever signed up at diapers.com you can get $10 off and free shipping on orders $49 or more, just type in this code: MEJX1817 . I love G diapers!!!! However if you are not interested in G diapers they have cloth and others as well but I am a huge fan of Gdiapers, my only complaint, they are kind of expensive.
blakesmommy31708 - Wednesday, 20 August
Like the prior moms have said, I would give it a week and try again since it sounds like he is not ready and/or interested. Blake never really cared for (and still doesnt) the cereal. I can get him to eat it with a half jar of fruit mixed in but usually not on its own. Its important that they have the cereal since it contains iron and the purees dont. Good luck!

OMG! Durango Colorado is where I am from!! I have rafted that river several times! So much fun! beautifulbebe - Tuesday, 19 August
Hi - If he doesn't want to eat cereal/oats, fruit, maybe he is just not ready to be on solids. I would just wait a bit and try again at a later date.
bluebeanz - Tuesday, 19 August
If I were you I would wait another week or so before trying again. Give your baby a break - he obviously isn't ready or willing yet. Maybe he'll change his mind in a week or so. Babies don't NEED any other nutrition until they are 6 mths old as they get everything they need from breastmilk or formula. Good luck! :D

We got the same one. The regular Summer one, not the flat screen color model though. After you mentioned that it had an on/off feature, I decided it might not keep me up all night. I did check it a lot the first night, but now I check if I happen to wake up in the middle of the night and it does make me go back to sleep. I had the AngelCare sensor monitor too, but it kept getting false alarms. It needed a board under it, so we got that today. So not like I have the money right now to be buying all of these monitors, but I did anyway. I hoped that Summer monitor was the one you have.
mommyinthesky - Thursday, 17 July
Hi there, What video monitor do you have? I think I want one now afterall.
mom2oz - Thursday, 17 July
I too have the baby bug! I've pretty much talked dh into having another one- I'm half tempted to call my dr and ask if I can take clomid and breastfeed at the same time (got pg on my 3rd month of clomid last time, but periods have not returned yet ) but I'm afraid he'll say no :p
Jo-Mama - Wednesday, 16 July
I feel the same way. At least once a day I think I'm going to lose my nut and freak out, but at least once a day I think of having another baby. Maybe we are crazy. But I love being a mom, even witht he tough times thrown in there.
mommyinthesky - Wednesday, 16 July
When I was putting some of Jacob's clothes away I was putting some in storage-just in case. Even with everything so crazy and even though I don't want another baby, I want to hang on to the clothes and his things. I've even thought it wouldn't be so bad to have another boy. But these are just passing thoughts that pop into my head and I remind myself that Jacob is probably going to be an only child. I hope it's a nice visit with everyone who comes for Garrett's baptism. We had Jacob baptized at the Lutheran church I used to go to so there was a more private ceremony and since they don't baptize at our non denominational church. It was nice and private and more comfortable for my family and my sister and her husband are his godparents. So I enjoyed his baptism and his dedication too even though only my parents came to the dedication.
lili-d - Wednesday, 16 July
lol. I feel the same way! Abigail is only 3 months and i look at my husband and tell him i want another one right now. He looks at me like ive lost my mind. haha. I think we just miss being pregnant. I miss it like crazy!!!
halesss7410 - Wednesday, 16 July
funny you say that!! All of my friends have kids that are 15months old or so and are ready to start planning there 2nd. i find myself sometimes getting jealous that they are going to be prego and have another baby. weird. it is like "I" want to get pregnant and have another because I am enjoying my daughter soooo much! so i can relate. isnt it funny how miserable we are while we are pregnant and how 'not fun' that labor is and 3months later we are thinking about it again??? I do want to wait though.
