  • @DuchessOfCambridge It's not up to them. And that's ridiculous. I'd say get it!
    Agreed! You're going to get it at some point - why wouldn't you get it when it's super discounted?

  • @ooodalollly @kissthesky32 thanks ladies! I don't really know why I keep second guessing myself based on what my friends' "appropriate" timelines are...none of them are even thinking about getting pregnant yet!

  • @duchessofcambridge I price shopped with DS and got things early.  With this one, I did/am doing the same with the few things that we need.  It doesn't hurt to be prepared.

    DS1 is 7.  DD is 1.  DS2 is coming in late April.

    I need to whine about my Dr's office. I mean this is a big ass hospital and they are so annoying about giving me data about me. Firstly when I asked for the NIPT they looked at me like I was crazy to send $200. No I don't think $200 is a small amount and yes I do think if it saves me from a load full of anxiety and invasive testing then its worthwhile. Then I go and ask my nurse a physical copy of my blood work they tell me they cannot release it without the Dr. Well my Dr is on vacation this week so now what? They don't know yet. I need to call him and leave a message with his secretary who will call him and then they will tell me MY blood test results. Why should it be so hard to get your own test results? The Dr already shared it with me verbally. I'd just like to see it in writing. 
  • @DuchessOfCambridge we bought our crib with our first around 16 weeks. It was on sale, and we pulled the trigger. Who cares what people think, just buy it!

  • So I LOVE my maternity jeans for comfort but I swear they make my underwear​ fall down all the dang time, anyone else?!
  • @MississippiCatfish my mom is in a bible study with his aunt. I taught with his cousin. I can't believe this. I really hope they find him!
  • @BayCamp  we are in the paw patrol phase and I don't get called mommy anymore. I am Ryder...ALL THE TIME. It is adorable but I am ready for change in obsession.
  • Everyone who prays, please pray for him!
  • @TeacherMama7 It's hard to comprehend! he's not the kind of guy who would run away. He's not the kind of guy who would be involved in anything criminal to ask for something like this. Just so sad.

    Caveat- I haven't personally scrutinized the methods or design in detail yet.

  • @MississippiCatfish what book is it? I'm looking for a new pregnancy read!

    @kissthesky32 can't say I hate it...

  • @MississippiCatfish I love that!! That's a great motto for all pregnancy/motherhood advice in general I think

    @DuchessOfCambridge The only and I mean only reason we haven't started buying baby things is that we are moving this month and I have no address to mail stuff too since we'll be living in GA and our family is in MA. My grandma is already buying things off my registry and I'm just going to have to return it to rebuy it when we get to GA.

    @DuchessOfCambridge  It's *really* out there.  I was wanting something incorporates my faith into this whole process, but it's definitely over the top  :#

    ETA:  It explores some of the same concepts of Hypnobabies and other "crunchy" methods:  that a lot of the pain is related to fear, and doesn't have to be experienced.  But like my above comment, I am spitting out some sticks;)

  • Ah gotcha :) I love the incorporation of faith! But, seeing as it's not my particular faith, I'll probably look for a different book :) Thanks for sharing!

  • @DuchessOfCambridge it seems like a good idea to incorporate faith on an important day, right!? At least I only spent $4 on ebay :D

  • @DuchessOfCambridge That logic makes no sense. We are getting a crib from SIL. Is there a time frame she should hold it for until it's appropriate to give it to us? The answer is no, especially since her youngest is now 10!

  • @DuchessOfCambridge I think if you speak to the baby in your first language even part of the time, it will pick it up.

  • @DuchessOfCambridge my friend speaks only english but for her DH English is his second language but he learned English  really young.  His family only speaks French. He talks to his kids in both languages so they learn both. It has delayed speech a little but the older one is back on track and speaks both at age 5.

  • @DuchessOfCambridge my BIL's parents watch his kids and they speak only in Portuguese during the day (although they can speak English). The kids speak and understand English at home with Mom and Dad does both. I think it's great to be bilingual and start at a young age. It may help to say the same thing in each language.

  • DH and I were actually just discussing starting to teach DS Spanish. Neither one of us are native speakers, but living in Florida it's a constant and we're both conversationally decent. We speak VERY different Spanish though, mine is more proper. The product of 8 years of Spanish classes. His is super slangy, his high school sweetheart and (really brief) first marriage was to a Puerto Rican girl, and now all his coworkers are from a blend of Central/South American countries. His Spanish is a hot mess! But I think we might start to introduce the language soon. I'm just not sure how yet.

    @DuchessOfCambridge  We aren't a bilingual family, however I worked at the school on base here in Korea. There are plenty of Korean children who attend. I see 4 and 5 year olds (and older) who primarily speak Korean, that's what they speak at home and with other Korean children in class, but they do just fine in the English only classes. Teachers do have to remind the young ones to talk in English, but I think that's to increase their abilities in English and to promote engagement with their non-Korean classmates. Some military families also send their preschoolers to Korean preschools which are actually English immersion schools, since there is no preschool on base, and their children start learning Korean that way at the age of 2 or 3.

    @DuchessOfCambridge I forgot to add that most of my students are bilingual. They speak English in school and have Spanish once a week. Most speak their other language (Hindi, Gujarati, Mandarin Chinese, etc.) at home. Some also go to classes to learn their parents' native language. They are not as strong in reading and writing as math, but I think that's more due to less effort / practices in those areas at home than being an effect of being bi/multilingual. I say certain things in Spanish (I'm conversational) when I want them to really pay attention because they sometimes ignore the English.

  • @duchessofcambridge SO is bilingual and, while his family also speaks English, they speak Spanish frequently.  SO will speak both English and Spanish to the baby.  It's his heritage, so it's important for him to pass that on.  I have a friend from Peru who spoke Spanish to her daughter when her husband wasn't home and then English otherwise.  Her 6 yr old is bilingual as a result.  I don't think it needs to be awkward...just a familiarity with it when it's just you two or when your husband can understand context.

    I think it's awesome that there are so many in here that are bilingual or multilingual.

    DS1 is 7.  DD is 1.  DS2 is coming in late April.
