@Tferr02- I'm sorry you're getting panicked also. I hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Happy New Year Ladies! I can't wait to be a bump aunt to all these little squish faces! I hope you all have a wonderful and blessed new year! On that note... Our mattress (brand new) is not cutting it for either DH or Myself... I'm still on the couch. I can't do this until April!

Did you get a satisfaction clause on your mattress? Return it if its not doing it for ya!
.

We did. We have to have it for 30 days before we can do anything with it!

Had to go to the ER... Coughing so bad I almost passed out. Midwife said to see primary (which I don't have), urgent care won't see me because of pregnancy. So now here I sit on a breathing treatment trying not to cough. I hate bronchitis... They wanted to make sure it wasn't pneumonia....

@snmetz7 I had my shower already when we were home for Christmas. I was kinda hoping my inlaws would buy the pnp (they offered to buy us something big). But when DH told them that was the only big thing we had left they said they didn't want to buy that and we should get a used one. That's what's stirring this dilemma for me.

I think my issue is what if she doesn't like it? Isn't that a big concern with the mamaroos?

I should just suck it up and buy the pnp play and get over it.

snmetz7

@emily041285 i have two irl friends that LOVE the mamaroo and are pushing me to get one. I'm sure it varies from child to child. maybe just ask your brother for advice(that's who gave you the gc right?)? tell him your dilemma and see what he says?

@Jessieann1020 back at ya!

Emily041285

@snmetz7 I think I'm going to get it. I really liked it in the store and honestly I can get the pnp on my own. I just can't justify the fancy gadget out of my pocket. Plus I know he wants to be the "cool" uncle.

At least if she doesn't like it I didn't pay for it.

Whoa, I've been busy lately and haven't been on TB much...guess a lot has been going on! I gotta say some threads lately are just plain bizarre!! Anyway, we are getting the nursery cleaned out today and with all the sunshine it feels like a beautiful spring day here in central Oregon - just got back from a long walk with the doggie and husband and best of all...a caramel soy latte Hope you all are breaking in the new year right!!

ps @katieharpiceland - I love your rocket photo! you are so cute! Guess they don't mess around with wimpy little sparklers up in Denmark :0 wowzers

katieharpiceland

Awww thanks @krispix78 :-) We had some fun with fire!! Hehe.

I would love to get started on our nursery. But, vacation continues! Tough life. LOL

Nothing good on tv is definitely justification for a second nap.

After the labor buddy post, I decided to come on here to get to know more of you better, but it took me so long to skim and fwd to page 246 that I am going to have to wait until tomorrow to get to know you better, I am exhausted now

JessieAlbin

Aha! Caught up. Having quite possibly THE laziest holiday season in history, we spent Christmas mostly in bed and now we're rocking the New Year the same way, Lennon and Yoko Ono style... Except way more junk food and way less sex. I'm into it.

Also, I may not have started off the new year with the healthiest breakfast, but I did manage to perfect my biscuits and gravy recipe, so that's a good thing, right? Food would be the only thing that has gotten us out of bed today..

snmetz7

First thing hubs did this year? Put up the crib! (Course he didn't read where for newborns the base goes at the highest setting so he will have to redo that step lol)

GlynnCoco

HI!!! I heard some of you were looking for labor buddies and I jut wanted to say look no further becasue I am available and I am nice!!!

I know I'm not on as much as some of you laddies but I try and be active when I can get on the computer and Hubbi doesn't need me and I'd really like to have a labor buddy who is nice and smart and likes to talk about babies!!!!! I love to talk about Babies!!!! I can't text because Hubbi doesn't want me giving out phone numbers to strangers but I can email!!!! ) ) ) ) 

I am sure that my buddi and I will become BFFLE!!! Let me know okay thanks bye!

Some fear of the unknown is totally normal. It's a big change to welcome a new baby into our worlds! I'm mobile and can't see tickers, but even if you're 28w now, you still have 9 or so weeks until 37w. That's a TON of time.
If you're nervous because THINGS aren't ready, then work on things! It'll be ok!

Captain Practical STM to the rescue with calming words of wisdom.. What would we do without you!! :x

The last of our out of town family just left for the airport. As fun as it was having family here the last two weeks. I'm so excited to get back to normal and resume my nesting rampage

Emily041285

@snmetz7 ok now you are scaring me. Not only did you paint your nursery like I want to. That is pretty close to the crib I want too!

Thank you! I appreciate that! I know I've still got time. I think it's just a mixture of my pgal brain and crazy, anxious self that has me all riled up. Also, I'm really feeling like our family will be complete with DS, but I will miss my one-on-one time with DD.

VIABILITY DAY!

This is what I'm wearing today and I am going to kill someone if they ask me if I am having twins or look like they saw a unicorn when I say I am due in April! (

Aww! You look great! Seriously, people are idiots and you look good for 25 weeks. 

I might be biased since I look just like that though

My doctor said my uterus is measuring perfect and I just have a small torso so there's nowhere for him to go but out so I'm fine with it I just am sick of people reactions!!!! The twins thing is ridiculous I don't know how many times I've had to say no I'm pretty sure there's not any twin in there we got ultrasounds!!

I LOVE your crib and walls, too! But that crib..can you fit a changing pad on top? We are working with limited space because LO will share with DSD and if a changing pad could fit that might be my crib too! What brand? I need dets thank you!!!

thomas930

@mrscrcalli Same here, the comments are really annoying.  I can't go anywhere without hearing it too. I have a short torso so I'm all belly too.

Thanks! @colleenswerb maybe I just haven't paid attention enough when I've looked. I'm gonna have to check out dimensions. Small spaces make for some pretty creative storage!

@jellysparkles - red robin! yummm!!

snmetz7

@Emily041285 great minds when are you due?

@celticlullaby that's hilarious! boys are so funny when it comes to building things. I pointed out that it was much to low to lay a baby and he proceeded to tell me I just needed to bend farther. no sweetie, I'll drop the baby if its that low unless we put like 3 mattresses down. He will have to wait for my brother to come hang out since apparently the base is heavy and I'm "too fragile" to do anything lol

@ mrscrcalli I think you look prefect for 25 weeks and I'm jelly of your beautiful bump.

@megczapla it comes with a little changing pad but I think I'll be upgrading do a fluffier model pad but yes there is space! and  you can't see in the pic but behind the drawers there are some shelves too. I love it. We actually got it from walmart (I'm not ashamed) here's the link https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bradford-4-in-1-Fixed-Side-Convertible-Crib-and-Changing-Table-White/20752915

@dani+california Hulk is my favorite! I hate when people cancel at the last min. It's hard work getting ready for company!

I think that's all the tagging I have for now. everyone else, don't feel left out I love you too lol

Megczapla

@snmetz7 thanks!!!

Emily041285

@snmetz7 the 9th. How about you?

snmetz7

@Emily041285 the scarieness continues... ME TOO! I'm having a girl and if you tell me you are too I swear I'm going to start thinking you're stalking me and stealing my life! lol

fireflygirl12

I'm convinced that non pregnant people have no clue about pregnant people look like. I seriously get OMG you're still so small for 25 weeks!! and then from someone else OMG you must be having twins like any day now. Seriously, not a clue.

Emily041285

@snmetz7 I think I might be!! That is totally crazy!! Although I'm hoping our little girl comes late.

snmetz7

Ok my musing for today... you know how when you're around your close gfs for a while your cycles start to sync up? I think it might be more than that. I think that maybe you are drawn to people who are already close to your cycle. The majority of the people I click with on here are all due within a few days of me (with a few exceptions) and so we were all on the same cycle interesting to think about.
