Moms to Be Part 3

[Adi12982]

Okay Mom's and Dad's to Be, We leave for the hospital in 12 hours. Reality has really sunk in now. My DH is going to bring his laptop with him. Hopefully I will be able to check in from the hospital.

Natalie is almost here. I can't wait to see her

Good luck!! Hope all goes well!! Can't wait to see her!!

Sweet! Now I just wish I knew if I have large n-ipples or not so I knew which size cup to get...I'm thinking I need to size up from the medium that came in the accessory kit I bought...I haven't actually shoved my b-oob in it yet.

Sorry if TMI!

Okay.. I have HUGE nipples.. Like to the point that little Vinny could NOT nurse, his mouth was not big enough at all. Even the LC told me that there was no real point with him, it was not gonna happen. Anyhoo.. I used the 24mm with no problem.

Can't hurt!

Good job on your shopping trip, btw! I read about it however far back you posted about it. Aren't coupons great?


...I'm STILL waiting on Similac to send me something other than regular formula, like maybe some checks. They keep sending me the Early Shield stuff (in the blue can) and Lucas eats Isomil Advance Soy... c'mon, send me some checks!!

I keep getting plenty from Enfamil and the Good Start people but NOTHING from Similac.

I JUST got my Similac stuff. You can sell the ones you arent using on Ebay, and buy the ones you need from there.

Hope it comes true! (I have my 34 week check-up today. I'm just hoping it's not time to star the internal exams yet. ) Let us know what your Dr. says.

Honestly you may not be able to tell which size you need until you actually try to use the thing a couple of times. When I started pumping with my son (with the med. shields to start) it was when my n-ipples started getting rubbed raw by the spot where the shield connected to the connector that I thought I needed a different size.

I paid for express shipping for a set of large & a set of extra large shields -- turned out I'm sort of asymetrical & did best w/ one large & 1 extra large. Would have never guessed that ahead of time. Sorry if TMI on that one!

Thanks for the info, it's really helpful!

Wow. I picked the wrong moment to pop back into the thread, huh?

Anyway, here's a video of our third ultrasound. It was taken on 6/1 when we were at 16(ish) weeks.

Let me know if it doesn't work.

Sorry about that, but it is VERY relavent!! Thanks for the link!

Wishing you the best! You'll be in my thoughts!

Hopefully you will get some soon. I am breast feeding, but keep getting formula coupons. I got nine $5 off coupons from Similac. The ready to drink stuff was on sale at Target last week for $5.49. I was able to get 9 bottles for less than $4.50! It was a great deal and I know I will probably have to supplement when I go back to work in a few weeks so hopefully the kind that I bought will agree with my little one's tummy!

I keep hoping, we've almost been through two of the containers of powder formula. I can see the bottom of both tubs (one upstairs, one downstairs) and I've been holding off for coupons...

Think I'm going to suck it up and just go get some more at full price. Dangit!

Here's Lily's mural:

I should be able to show some close ups too...DH made a me one of the fairies--I'm the blond up in the tree reading a book.

And I'm glad the wall color came out this time! You can now tell how purple it is!

WOW! How long did that take him?!!?

I have no artistic ability so I am in awe of anything like this!!

 

[harleyquinn]

Only a couple of days actually. It looks great in the room as a whole--it was too purple before! if there is such a thing as too much purple!

 

[Adi12982]

WOW Sarah, that is just gorgeous!! Your DH sure has skills! I love that he added you as a fairy too!

I know, he's so sweet. I didn't catch it at first--I knew I didn't recognize the fairy, but I didn't want to hurt his feelings if he just got her wrong somehow! lol

He asked me, "Did you see your fairy?" And I was like, "The one reading the book? I didn't think she was a Disney fairy!" lol

Baby News !!!!!!! I had my appointment and we are making more progress. I am 3 cm. dialated & 50% efaced. I told Dr. about my dream and she said it would not surprise her one bit if I went tomorrow. Dr. guesses the baby's weight to be 7 1/2 to 8 lbs. My BP was 120/85, and I gained a pound. (makes total weight gain 4lbs) Emma's heartbeat was a strong 138. If nothing happens over the weekend my next Dr. visit is Monday. Cross your fingers for a baby over the weekend.

...watch those baby weight predictions by the Dr's... mine was a lb and a half off!

Crossing my fingers for you, for sure!

...watch those baby weight predictions by the Dr's... mine was a lb and a half off!

I know I don't think it is a true science. 7.5 sound like a standard reply to me, but DS was 7lb 6oz. So maybe, we will have to see.

Yes. When I found out I was expecting twins, ALL my friends signed up formula coupons, and send them to me.. and I use them all the time. They never check. They just use them as coupons.

That is so freaking sweet!!!
