Thanks!

Yes, I do have one very close by. I just didn't know what it was until I read Baby Bargains. It's been there forever and I've always ignored it. lol

I thought they were talking about a one-time consignment sale...

There are several consignment sales that go twice a year-usually once in the fall and once in the spring. They seem to be a relatively new trend. They can get pretty huge-my sisters sale has 700 consigners. There is a website www.kidsconsignmentsales.com that will list any that might be in your area. They are typically great places to pick up some gently used stuff at terrific prices.

Ooo there's one this weekend near me...tempting but with 3 big showers, I really don't want to go buy stuff that I'll get at a shower...it's so hard for me to let my relatives/friends pay retail when I can go to something like this though! Oh wait...I work that day. Darn...there's another one in May.

Wow look at this!! http://www.thebigredwagon.com/

Nothing close to me either!

So all of a sudden I feel like a basketball has popped out of my belly over night. Anyone else??? I just felt like my belly was changing slowly, then BAM...there she was !!! And the waddling stage has begun.

I am going to one this weekend! I am hoping to find some good stuff. My mom's friend is the one who told her about it and he said you can get some awesome deals there. I can't wait

That looks like a pretty decent sale! When are your showers? Will the May sale be after at least some of them? I'm sure you will get most if not all of what you need at the showers but its always great to have a sale like that around to go pick up maybe a few items you want but didn't get.

Since this is my second child, I had to get most of everything myself-I don't expect anyone to give me a shower the second time around!

I have felt like I had a basketball since early on and the waddling has been going on for weeks! You are lucky! This baby seems to be making the second pregnancy a lot more uncomfortable compared to my first!

Good luck! And make sure and post your goodies you get!

I was looking at the site Sarah recommended (www.babybargains.com) and found a neat site that offers some great deals on different baby items. They also have a gaga deal that is similar to woot off. Right now there is a MAclaren Volo stroller that was selling for $70 but its sold out, but another deal is coming up shortly. The site is www.babyearth.com. You can find the gaga deals and the other sale items under clearance.

Did you get the egg gif for your signature? You were the one that said you liked it right?

Did you see that I've been taking the prenatals for a week with no side effects? I'll probably add the Met soon.

Nope, none of my showers are until after the May one. I'll probably still go so my mom can get stuff for her house/use. They look like they have two every season, so I can always go to the summer one...

Hi,
I just wanted to say thanks for the website. I try to go to the sales everytime there is one at the county fairgrounds. There are 2 sales here over spring and fall with 4 different mommy groups. The sales start at 7 and the lines are usually packed. Then they close and go half price in the afternoon. DH says I'm in my element looking for a bargain!

There is a twins group that has a normal sale then everything in sets of 2 and more from all the twins and triplets. I got both DHs a ton of cute shirts in 2 different colors and prints for about $2-3. I even got a Rainforest open top swing for $40 and it was almost brand new. I contacted Fisher Price and they sent us new toys to hang from the mobile. That was my find of the day! I think I spent about $150 total for 4 laundry baskets full of clothes and gear for both boys.

You might want to check your local fire department too. There's always something good at those sales and of course the church resales! Not to mention with the toys at such cheap rates I can see if DS will really play with what I was going to buy. I got the FP pots and pan set last year that was normally $20 but I paid $3 and he hates them! Maybe this DS will like them.

HEY! Welcome to the waddling club....
Can you still put on your socks? I gave up on it last week. I think I'm wearing my fitflop for the rest of the pregnancy.
Bending over is completely out of the question right now...

 

[Disney Ron]

So far socks are still okay! Thank goodness because my feet always seem to be cold pregnant.

 

[Piecey]

Okay, I thought I was waddling and said something to one of my friends when we were shopping last week and she laughed and said "Actually, I was thinking to myself earlier that it's strange that you AREN'T!" My mom said the same thing. So I feel like I'm walking differently (or maybe it's just the extra weight?) but they both swear that I'm not.

I know I shouldn't be put out by that but so far, I still don't really feel pregnant. And there isn't a whole lot of my pregnancy left!
I can't believe I'm 30 weeks. Holy crap!
It bugs me that I don't feel like anything has been different these last 6 months, though. Know I should be grateful, but it's how I feel. Rational or not.

I'm going to ask my Dr. on Thursday what the deal is with him being bigger and I want to hear it, directly from her, how long she'll let me go. 40 weeks? 41 weeks? 42? I want to know what I'm working with and so far I've never had questions for her. I also want to ask what happens if he's not flipped/still breech. I know she's going to do another ultrasound but I want my answers now because holy crap I only have 10 weeks left and that has woken me up!

So far I can still put on my socks/shoes (well, they're letting me wear slippers behind the teller line at work now! ) while driving down the interstate to work.... I dread the day I can't because it's comforting to know where my work shoes are-- in my car. No wondering if doggie has ran away with them. Which he often does. Usually on the mornings I'm running late.

 

[ShootingStarMom2]

Hope you all have wonderful birth experiences! I couldn't have asked for anything better.

Congrats! Great pictures

Good morning everyone!!!

Sleep interrupted several times last night for me. I have to constantly roll from side to side to get comfortable. I just keep feeling like I can't get any bigger! My belly feels like it has so much pressure on it. I'm not huge, but I definitely feel huge!

I know what you mean about the pressure. Yesterday I could really feel it when I was walking. I have been trying (keyword is trying) to walk 30 minutes a day at least 5 days a week. I am only 26 1/2 weeks. Yikes, I have only just begun. I can't even think about how it will feel next month.

Well, my office is getting painted. Again.
It just got painted in December.

So here I am, off for the day. At the irk of the one employee there who doesn't have kids/hasn't been pregnant.

I love, too, that neither of my managers were there so we were trying to handle things ourselves and the painter kept telling me it was OK.

No, it's not.

 

[Disney Ron]

I have an impromtu visit today with my OB. I woke up this morning with a minor ear ache. So I called to see if there is anything I will be able to take.
They want me to come in and have it checked since I will be flying in a couple of days.

Patsy, glad you are not working with the painting.

MMKK & Minniefan4ever, I know what you mean by pressure too. I am 27 weeks and I can't get comfortable at night either. I will see how I do with the walking in WDW.

Yeah... same here. I can't even put my firm pillow near my belly anymore because it feels like sleeping by a rock. I can definitely symphatize.

Ok, for all of you first time mom to bes over 30 weeks:
Any of you getting anxious? nervous? worried?

I'm on my 33rd going on 34th and I'm starting to get the "Holey crap! Only 6 more weeks to go and we don't have anything done yet!!!!" - moments...
