My profile

So this is my husband's and my first child; we're SO excited! It wasn't planned, but it was a fantastic surprise! I stopped using BC pills in September, and we tried the "natural" method of BC. Yeah, that didn't work, LOL! I recently graduated with my BS in Elementary Education, so this couldn't have come at a better time, honestly. So far, I LOVE being pregnant; I guess you could consider me one of the lucky ones (no morning sickness)! It has been such a great experience so far. I cannot WAIT to meet this little miracle! Best of luck to you, ladies! WE'RE having a BABY!!!

Aww thanks!! I think that glow might actually be sweat!

We had such a fun time... my sister (in the white dress) did a really great job making it all come together. Looking at all the pictures makes me tired! LOL.

it comes with a firm matress type pad that folds in three places to form the bassinet. then you lay it out straight to put in the bottom of the playpen. you can buy sheets for them they range in price from $7-$11 depending where you buy them. if you have a babies r us near you or even a target where they are set up you can look at them a see what i'm talking about. babies r us is a perfect place b/c the people will actually take the display off the shelf and show you how everything works. if you have anymore questions fee free to ask.

Wow, I wasn't on for the rest of the afternoon so I had to catch up on messages last night and wasn't that one lady a little rude saying that we need not look at our registery and depend on people but to go out and get our own babies stuff because we decided to have them. What a dismal out look on life lady...

I actually was YELLED at by my family for buying so much stuff for my baby already and was told to wait for my shower to see what I get. I don't know if it is a cultural thing or not, I just know it is like a tradition that when a baby comes we shower the new family with gifts to show kindness and appreciation.
I missed my opportunity to commenet back, but I thought she was overall jumping the gun in the wrong direction because I don't thnk anyone here expects anything... we will live if we do or we live if we don't.. Glad she isn't coming to my shower! LOL
I noticed a lot of stuff wasn't brought on my registery, oh well, I enjoy shopping, but I have a feeling that people are going to get me what they want to give me anyways. So I am prepared...

That is exactly what I did!!! The say that it is safer to keep a baby on a more firm surface than on a really soft matress. When the baby starts out sleeping in the pack-n-play they are use to the firmness of it and don't know any different. It worked great for us and saved us lots of room in the apartment and money.

There are things made especially for port-a-cribs, but I think the standards work as well too...like putting queen stuff on a full bedI was kind of worried about that too, because I don't want my baby swimming in linens...but things like I have a huge mobile and it still fits perfectly

sugarbear8907 - Friday, 18 July
yea i understand well my bf is getting one because his room is 2 small and in the mean time saving up for a crib

II have a port-a-crib for my baby, and everyone says they are just as good as regular cribs. I've been offered big cribs, but I don't think it's neccesary just to have to get rid of them after a short period of time. My baby sister was in a smaller crib, and it worked fine for her also. More room for all the other baby junk anyway!

Yeah it is a totally crazy feeling..I was soooo freaked out at first...He is definitely going to be a handfult hough...he has been moving since like 14 weeks.

newmom08 - Thursday, 17 July
LOL. I've heard that gift-cards were impersonal too... however, I disagree. I am like you, because chances are I will get me something I don't want. I keep telling my sister (who is throwing my shower) that people need to go off my registery and get me what I asked for. She said people will most likely get me what they want to get me, and I said, well that is fine, but it isn't their baby!! She thinks I am crazy anyways! I keep checking my online registery to see what/if anything was purchased so I can prepare myself. I reason it with it not being a birthday, so I am not trying to be 'surprised' .
I just started having bad contractions where they are painful and feel like I was punched in the stomach. I've talked to the doctor and they told me if they don't stop I need to get to L&D but I am trying to stay relaxed and calm so that I won't have to go. So here I sit, feet elevated, laying down and drinking tons of water... Hopefully I wont go to the hospital yet... never thought I would say, "I DONT WANT TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!!"

newmom08 - Wednesday, 16 July
Oh well, I lied, I thought I saw futons on sale for $40 which if that was true, I would have grabbed 2! But when I looked online to find the colors they had, they were only FUTON COVERS! What a joke... My DH was lauging at me, because he knew I was wrong.
$1 per load is a LOT! I remember when we lived in our apt, I thought that the day I would get a real washer of my own, I would wash everything. That lasted for 5 min.
I am sure that having to wash a babys clothes is going to hamper my lazy outlook in life!

I think the donation of coins is a great thing! I am hoping my friends give me a ton of gift cards!! Selfish right?! Its for a GREAT CAUSE!

Oh Lord...feels good to know I'm not alone! I too decided to cut back on some things especially the fried foods :( I don't know that I can let go of the ice cream! I did start walking on Monday though. I decided 2 miles 4 x a week should help especially since all this water retention is starting to take place! Well I wish you the best and regardless we are beautiful and this is all worth the outcome! GOD bless you and your beautiful baby bump

ive got one of those too, i spend most of the night picking it up off the floor lol!!
ok i was told last nite at ante natal classes that the restless legs are also due to the 40% rise in blood flow in our bodies aswell as de-hydration, hope the water works for you. i didnt sleep well at all last night, such a horrible sick feeling, so im going for a walk along the beach then hopefully a little nap.... if my 6year old lets me

Mmm, I really enjoy the support network here on this site too. Doesn't matter how many kids you have, every pregnancy is different and there's always lots of other ideas and other perspectives to consider. I look forward to logging on and catching up with everyone, too, as I don't really have a network of "real life" friends (we're new in this town) so yeah, it's great.

It's funny here we are, longing to finally hold our precious little babies, it's hard to imagine how trying they can be. Here's a tip you might wanna share with Christian. Whenever I get overwhelmed and my husband can see I'm getting into a state over a screaming baby that I just can't seem to settle, he steps in and says, "put him down in the bedroom, make sure he's safe, come out here, and shut the door." Just taking a minute step away from him (or her) can really change your focus. Maybe even step outside and take a few deep breaths. You'll soon feel the protective motherly love rushing back, and you'll desperately want to go pick him up and give him a cuddle instead of feeling like you wanna throw him out the window! That's sometimes the moments when your DH can be the most support, just by keeping you sane.
