    @wareagle1220 - I didn't leak at all and that got me worried so I started pinching them harder.  DH thought I was a nutjob!  Still no leaking though :(

    I am truly a SS today - I have another question.

    I registered for a 4-pack of the A&A swaddles, a Miracle Blanket, a Halo swaddle and a 2-pack of Swaddle-mes.  Is that too much?  I was thinking that the A&A swaddles can really be used more as blankets, but is that too many swaddles?  Should I take some off my registry?

    flojo973 - I had various friends who recommended 8-12 swaddles since they're multipurpose and will get you through loads of laundry!

    My nipples are not flat but they are also not leaking when I pinch them :(  I am not googling when I should be concerned.

     

    This is a bit of an embarrassing confession, but I had my left nipple pierced when I was 18 (*eyeroll* I thought I was so cool).  I spent a lot of time googling the other day, trying to figure out if I was never going to be able to breastfeed because of it.

    Ahhhh... nothing like a fresh new thread in the morning! I have so many!

    First, I cried this morning on the subway when a woman offered me her seat. It doesn't happen nearly enough in this city, and when our humanity peeks through our otherwise busy, preoccupied, self-involved worlds, it makes me weepy. That, or I'm pregnant.

    Second, Ru Paul's Drag Race is BACK!!! Just watched the first episode at my desk. I love drag culture more than I know how to say.

    Third, theft at Bitcoin and possible bankruptcy and collapse?!
    I've noticed that too! A couple times I've had to stand for the entire hour train ride from NYC to Long Island. I just told myself I had to suck it up! But this morning on two differnet subway trains, two men gave up their seats for me. That was nice.

    @lest12 Haha!!! Same here, but just wanted to let you know that I had no problems nursing until DS started to get a mouthful of teeth.  He would have one tooth that would hit my scar tissue just right and it would hurt so bad so I just had to turn him around and nurse in the opposite direction. By then you will be a pro.  I hope this helps with your concern and good luck nursing.

    I was waiting for this to come up!

    I have an old pack n play of my sisters from 5 or 6 years ago.  The insert to make the mattress higher for a newborn is missing.  Do I actually need a pack n play for that insert or can I just use that one when the baby's older. 

    We are registering for a rock n play and a swing.



    @wareagle1220 You can use that pack and play with a newborn. The higher mattress is really just for ease of picking them up since it happens so frequently when they are that small. Between that, the RnP and the swing, I think you are set!

    It's one thing when women don't get up to give a seat, but when men don't it really upsets me. I KNOW someone in their life raised them better than that!

    lyracelesti - is your scar spreading at all? As my belly button gets closer and closer to popping out I've been watching my piercing go from inside my belly button to outside! I keep waiting for the holes to get super big. I took mine out almost 15 years ago (I got it at 14, then was waaaay too cool for it by 17 ;)), so not sure what it will end up doing...

    I have another one! I suck at being a SAHM. Don't get me wrong I love love love hanging out with my LO all day. But I have nothing to look forward to anymore. My weekends are no different then my weekdays. I miss working. I miss my residents at the nursing home. I miss adult interaction. How do you other SAHM get out of this funk?

    I took my piercing out as soon as I started getting some blump because it made a weird bump under my shirts.  At this point, the top hole is growing into a long slit.  I really hope it doesn't stay that shape after the babies are here--no idea how much excess skin I'm going to retain in that area.

    @Mztwilson I've been trying to figure out the same thing. Every other weekend I spend time at my parents, and that's it. Those every other weekends are what keep me going for now, but once the baby comes I can't just spend 3 nights at my parents house. I gave up a lot to be a SAHM and now I feel like a brat for missing what I gave up. So, no real advice, but I can understand how you feel.

    @joules235, oh good. That's kind of what I figured. 

    On a side note, it's really annoying that certain packs of CDs and swaddlers and things are called "boy or girl".  I have several items on my registry that say they're boy items.  I just like some of the colors better! 

    I agree! I bought the cutest A&A blanket for DD that has little airplanes on it and some of the jet streams make little hearts. It is a "boy" patter but IDGAF. I wish there was a bigger selection of gender neutral baby items, or even just girl stuff that isn't so girly and boy stuff that isn't covered in footballs. Its not that I mind buying things that are gender specific but I hate how in your face it is. Also the onsies that say "Daddy's Princess" or "Mommy's Handsome Boy" are so annoying and its difficult to find inexpensive onsies without words.

    Yesss.  The ones that I registered for that are labeled boy have little brown and mint green stars on them.  And I think I registered for some of the zoo animal ones that were labeled boy.  What's so boy-ish about animals?! 

    I'm already dreading the obnoxious onesies I know I'll get at showers.  No words please.  No words.  Unless it's a HP onesie that says accio milk.  hehe.

    I have a whole bunch of HP inspired onesies on my pinterest board :) I am also a big fan of "gryffindorable"

    I do have a pnp but the nursery is right next to the bedroom and the changing table is pretty big (its also a dresser). I think I will end up going between the two rooms. Now I am wondering how often a baby needs a new diaper during the night.
    I changed mine during each nighttime feeding.  I had them in the pnp next to my bed and would just change them in it, since it's the high bassinet top.  I did it to not disrupt them too much and so that I could easily transition them right into bed with me for the feeding (my oldest breastfed, my other was bottle).

    These are the things that I wonder about, too. LOL.  I mean, I just have no idea. Also, if one were to stay in the room to change the diaper, one would almost need a little spotlight system so as not to wake one's SO.  If both adults wake up every time (which might happen anyway)there would be no sense in taking turns.  I just have no idea logistically how to make this all work. LOL. It'll probably be total chaos for a while!
    Taking turns?? What is this magical concept??? No seriously. If I am bfing why would h get up? If he just needs a diaper change? I dont know about all your Hs but the effort it would take to wake up, tell him to change the diaper, tell him again to wake up....it would be easier just doing it myself.
    @BrightEyes112 - Right??? How do they sleep through EVERYTHING???? I get so jealous some nights that I just want to punch him in his deep sleep. LOL!

    Also (because once I start thinking, I realize how little I know) If you plan to have baby sleep in your room at night, will they nap in their nursery, or where they sleep at night? (We should have a newbie playdate thread where clueless people like me can ask a billion questions, like they do on ttgp).
    Up until they transitioned to their cribs, they did their napping in the downstairs pnp, their swings, bouncy chairs, etc.  Once in their cribs, that's where they would nap.

    Mostly DD just napped wherever she fell asleep (bouncy seat, blanket on the floor) until we started sleep training at 5 mo.
