@cabauer9‌ TB app has to have a mistake or something! It's only 6 inches at week 19, 6.5 at week 20, then 10.5 inches at week 21 - how does it grow 4 inches in 1 week??!....

OH. So apparently they switch from measuring crown-to-rump & start measuring head-to-toe at 20-21 weeks. Ovia makes the switch 1 week earlier than TB, & baby "grows" 4 inches in week 19.


ETA @MrsLaurenandDan‌ thinking of you today!! FX all is well!!

I kinda figured it was the switch, because Ovia is much better at explaining these kinds of things, but thanks for the info!

Funny that some people keep perpetuating the drama instead of letting it go. 

@jennypm - their mod and some individual members jumped in to reiterate that yes she was wrong and yes she was trolling and to leave it alone. Looks like everything is dead and I hope it stays that way.

@MrsLaurenandDan‌ Sending lots of positive vibes for you & baby Sam!

@katydid2014‌ Thanks for sharing the butt baby thread.

I'm still catching up, but good luck to everyone with appointments today!

I'm lying in bed ... this cold is kicking the crud out of me. And there's a massive thunderstorm. Bed is a perfect place to be at noon, right?


So, what happened with the Mod nominations/vote? I was going to post this on the 'vote thread' but can't seem to write a reply on it. Is @MandJS‌ sticking with us? Is @meladoriestar‌ a new mod for the board? Or is @chaysefaith‌ handling things? I'm ok with any of the above, but would like to make sure I know my board mods!

Hope everyone is having a good Monday?

No clue. I *think* @mandjs is out and I'm pending approval from BJ?

Congrats!!

And, I totally lol ' d at your (intentional ) edit, @MandJS‌

@RQuinlin‌ and @Darbie914‌ -that is a great suggestion! I will stop by this week! Thanks!

So I didn't read everything and may be redundant, but I think you should ask the Car Seats for the Littles group on FB. I wouldn't ask the firehouse for recommendations, many of them don't even have certified techs and even if they do, they aren't up to date on car seat suggestions, just proper install. Also, every car seat in the store is EQUALLY safe, you pay more for comfort and bells and whistles.

Yesterday at Disneyland we met a lady who was with her 18 year old dd & she told me she had baby showers for both of her kids, both girls, only 2 years apart. She also said that people brought gifts for her first daughter as well, so she wouldn't feel left out. She seemed super nice, normal, and I wouldn't have taken her to be a "tacky" kind of person. But I was a little bit in shock and felt like wow that's a bit much to have baby showers with both girls, close in age and an extra gift for the first girl? Idk I was blown away, and thinking good thing there was no bump around when she was having those girls lol!

I can picture my mom doing the whole gift buying for both children so one doesn't feel left out. She does this with my cousins on their birthdays. I bet on each of our kids birthdays she will end up doing this.  She is all about being "fair" although growing up, I was the 2nd girl and I definitely didn't get as much new stuff as my sister. I think that is probably why she feels bad.

I ordered like $90 in baby clothes there yesterday and each item ended up being less than $6 each.  Score!

Am I the only FTM having trouble buying baby clothes? I have no idea what is actually a good deal or not! And I suddenly have no recollection what weather is like in March!

@CoozieInMyPurse I have only bought footed sleepers, swaddle sacks, nightgowns and onesies so far.  We won't know the sex for another 9 days (I'm not counting or anything) so that has forced me to focus on non-outfit type clothes so far.  I'm really into newborns/infants in comfy sleeping type clothes the majority of the time anyways instead of actual outfits.  I'm all about comfort, easy clean up, and easy diaper access with a newborn.

I agree! It's more thinking "do we need pants or onsies with legs or just sleep sacks and regular onsies?" I'm in Louisiana, so it could end up being warm or it could be cold. Who knows!?

Crazy last few days and haven't been able to bump much. Just checking in very quickly to say good luck to @MrsLaurenandDan and sending some get well vibes to @goofygoff. Pregnant colds suck.

Good luck to anyone else with appointments today if I missed any!

My vainglorious random: A local consignment shop had a sale this weekend. I scored a pair of Paige maternity jeans that fit perfectly...and only cost $1! I was so psyched I had to treat myself to a smoothie.

I have bought ZERO baby clothes so far. One of the ladies I work with is moving and is giving me a bunch of baby stuff, so I'm waiting until we get a little closer to start buying baby clothes. I'm not even sure what the weather is like here either.. plus I'm afraid to buy too many in one size and him outgrow them so fast and us not have any others. So, we're waiting. I'm hoping to get the big stuff out of the way first anyway.

So I just got off the phone with the midwife center I was using as back up care. They kicked me out of the practice. I sobbed for an hour, not sure why I hated them and planned on changing after my next appointment but I just cracked. My husband has been working like crazy and I am super lonely and emotional. I feel a cry it out coming on soon.

LBeez13

@selena61307 why did they kick you out?

selena61307

I told them I was considering homebirth. So they said that because I don't trust them they can't continue my care.

She also got called out by two of her precious, beloved Jan'15 members AND one of the mods for that particular post. I am glad to see that some people don't agree with her ways.

Honestly it is a money thing they get paid more if I birth with them. My appointments don't really make them much money so I am sitting in a slot that could make more of they give it to someone that will birth with them. I have tons of issues with them this shouldn't have been a shock but it caught me of guard

You have got to be flipping kidding me! My OB knows I'm considering HB, and that either way, I plan to switch since her hospital won't do VBaCs. I have been 100% upfront with it. But she still sees me until I have someone else lined up!

I was told I have 30 days to find other care.

That is awful. I'm sorry to hear that! That is not the kind of care I would want, personally, and I wish you the best of luck finding someone who won't cut you loose just because you may not have them there to help you give birth.

jurassicrabbit

@selena61307 I'm really sorry, what a shitty thing to have to deal with. I can understand them wanting to fill the slot with a more profitable client, but dropping a lady in the middle of her care is bullshit. I can understand you being upset, even if you had plans to switch. I hope you find someone who fits your needs better, soon.

Regarding weather in March: I'm in Denver and it usually snows intermittently until May/June. But the rest of the days from March to summer can be pretty warm. I'm making sure I have at least a few options for any weather situation. Layering is going to be our friend. I agree it is a pain in the tookis to try to plan for.

On another shopping note: SO and I went to Target last night and we found a Chicco Keyfit 30 carseat on clearance for 88 bucks. I guess someone got it for a baby shower and returned it and since it's an online-only color they automatically mark it down 50% to sell it in the store. Plus we had a 10% coupon, plus a $5 giftcard, plus the 5% REDCARD discount, so it ended up being like 70 bucks. We're both super excited and it's the first big thing we've purchased for Mr. Groot.

selena61307

I made it clear they had given me crap care last time. I was really honest about the fact that I had been treated poorly last time and that I wouldn't see that one midwife again. I kept an open dialog. I shouldn't have because if they didn't know I was having a hb it wouldn't have happened. They are known for kicking people out who are looking for other care. It isn't unusual for them.

selena61307

Nope not this group. They don't care at all. 30 days is all I have.

Eta off to read about the butt baby

massiejs09

I've developed what I think is eczema on my eyelids. I had eczema when I was in my teens and it was on my feet. I guess pregnancy has made it resurface on my eyelids. WTF!? MOST ANNOYING (and random) SHIT EVER.

LBeez13

Speaking of gifts for sibling after baby is born. Do y'all think it is necessary for an 18 month old? I feel like he won't really understand why I am giving him a gift. Also...any ideas on gifts? I have a very rambunctious boy who will be about 18 months when the new baby is born.

I saw that. I want to do that too! You want to start it?

We actually answered this question in this past Saturday's ticker change thread.

But not all of us change on Saturdays.. 

I think it would be fun for everyone!

AGHHHHHHHHHHH wtaf. I go into our bank account and H has spent 350 on the car today because he didn't feel like doing the fucking brakes himself. Are you actually fucking kidding me right now?

You fucking asshole. I never get to do anything I am stuck in the house all the fucking time I was looking forward to this you selfish piece of shit. AGHHHHHHHHHHH I needa fucking drink.
