The "Newest" Moms Hangout...

[TiggerStac]

Ahhh!! I wondered what happened to you!!! How is Caleb doing??

HEY~ We'll be in Disney at the same time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caleb is doing amazing. After his very rough start, he's doing great. Gaining a ton of weight. Only issue..he's wicked gassy! We started him on Zantac to see if that would help. The poor thing is so uncomfy when he's gassy.

Where are you staying?? Are you planning on going to MNSSHP?? I'm trying to decide if we're going on my birthday or not...I think I'd like to relax in the am and then go (10/27). We're staying at the Boardwalk.

ETA: We're staying at Nick Hotel 10/22- 10/25 then heading over to Boardwalk until 11/1.

Be careful ladies.
Putting names and birth dates online isn't the best idea.
My kids are now teens and I have never used their names online.
If you have information about yourselves in your profiles, it might be easy for someone to figure out where you live and such.

I think DH would hurt me if I tried to con him into MNSSHP. He's being very understanding with my obsession when it comes to this trip in general but he does NOT understand wanting to go with a baby so young. I keep telling him it's for me. I pre-ordered the photopass CD and book and he's going along with it but I can tell he wants to say something about it... I justified those with saying we can have great pictures of all THREE of us and he's kinda going along with it... but still not 100% convinced.
I don't think I'd live down another $100 in tickets to a Halloween Party.
That and DH and crowds don't do very well. He still gets a bit anxious if he is in an unfamiliar place and doesn't feel *safe*... I figured October was a good introduction to the world, as it'll be a lot less crowded and stuff, but I'd hate to buy tickets to that party and us not be able to stay.. the times I've been to MVMCP have always been a lot more crowded than the regular time in the parks.

We'll be at Pop!

Oh, so nice to "see" you all! Thank you, Lisa, for the link

Tessa had her 4 month appointment today ... and shots. Ouch. She was so Screaming so hard she wasn't even making noise!

Seems to be doing okay tonite, thank goodness.

I hope Luca has better luck this time around, Lisa!

So, todays weight was 13.8 ... no WONDER I get tired

Looking forward to some sleep soon...is anyone getting to sleep all night yet?

thanks for starting the thread...I have missed chatting w/ y'all.

Okay... Im starting to wonder the heck is up with my baby... Vinny is already 15 pounds.. and not quite 3 months. Seriously, I grow giants.

The twins are sleeping through the night. Im stunned. Mikalah diddnt sleep through the night until she was 2! The first time they did it, I kpt waking up to check on them..

 

[december]

That's great! Katie only wakes up twice a night, which is wonderful considering the other two never slept!

 

[Piecey]

Before I go editing and fixing the list and adding all the newbies... do people want their kids names and birthdates on there?

I'm okay with it. I don't see how anyone is going to harm Lucas by knowing his name is Lucas and his DOB.

Leaving it up to each person individually.. I can just do things like "DS 2/09" or whatever...

Quick questions to all the moms...

What kind of diaper pail do you have and do you like it?

 

[caitty13]

Hey Patsy! Add me too.

Quick questions to all the moms...

What kind of diaper pail do you have and do you like it?

I have the Diaper Champ. I like because it takes any kind of bag, you do not need their refills.

I also have the diaper champ and am a big fan of it (also because it takes any size bags). We have a regular diaper pail (i think that is what the sticker called it) in the other room and it always smells like poop!

*****************
Allison has been sleeping through the night on and off since about 6 weeks. She has done it consistently now for the past week and a half or so. I get between 7-10.5 hours from her! I am so glad I got a sleepy baby! My mom keeps telling me how lucky I am bc I didn't sleep through the night until 3!

I dont care. Post away!!

 

[Peanut214]

I have a Diaper Genie II, and I love it! I've found that I can use a regular garbage bag in a pinch if I run out of refills. I just tuck it around the outer edge of an empty container, and it works just fine!!

I've got a question for all the new mommies. Did the line down the middle of your belly go away yet (for those of you who got one!)? If so, how long did it take? Mine is still dark as can be! My mom commented that she hoped for my sake it would be gone by summer. Yeah, because that's the only thing keeping me from a bikini!

 

[ADAMANDLISA]

Hey Patsy! You can put Luca on...Feb. 5th.

How are you feeling?

Leave mine the way it is. I know some people are nervous about posting certain things (and pics) on the internet, and that is fine for them, but it really doesn't bother me. I don't see what someone could do with the little bit of info I've posted.

Quick questions to all the moms...

What kind of diaper pail do you have and do you like it?

My older 2 are 9 1/2 and almost 12, so I'm sure the diaper pails are better now, but I didn't care for anything they had around back then. For Katie, I bought a cute little Disney princess garbage can at Walmart. It is thick, and has a lid with a foot pedal to open it. I empty it every night, and it holds a day's worth of diapers. She's breastfed, so I can't say anything about the smell factor yet (breastfed babies don't have stinky diapers).

I never got the line down my belly. Doesn't really matter-since no one will see my stomach except the people living in my house!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't do names but I'm fine w/birthdates,etc.

Trying to get the list updated.

Hey Patsy! You can put Luca on...Feb. 5th.

How are you feeling?

Done, and good. I think nesting hit last night. I touched up all the paint in my nursery, hung up all the stuff I hadn't yet, painted the closet where the HVAC people destroyed it and it's pretty much done. I'm all proud, so I'm going to share some pictures ... sorry for those that aren't picture-a-holics, I'm totally addicted to sharing!!


Looking at the closet from the glider... they had to knock the wall out and extend into the closet to get large enough duct work to the attic to install air conditioning.. It makes a cute place to hang up hats, though, and a curtain will eventually be covering it!

His changing table area...

His cubes, one of my favorite posters from WDW and the boards with everybody who did a hand print at the shower on them! There are empty spaces for anyone who comes by and hasn't done one yet.

His crib, with CLEAN and ready to go bedding... the hand prints on either side of his name are DH and myself... the ones between the window are DH's mom, my BIL and BIL's long-term girlfriend.... the bare wall will have my parent's hand prints, my brother and my brother's girlfriends hand prints (which are waiting in Orlando to take their place on the wall!) and then underneath of Lucas' name I have two smaller plaques that I will be doing Lucas' hand and foot prints and hanging there.

OKAY! I think the list is updated. If anyone has any problems or needs me to change something let me know on here or via PM. I'll try to get it ASAP!

Looks good! (the list AND the nursery)

 

[TiggerStac]

Picey...where did you find that toy organizer?? that's exactly what I'm looking for. And if you don't mind how much it cost, you can PM me if you don't want to display. I've been looking for one and not had much luck. I'm almost ready to buy a pottery barn one for 250 w/out the baskets!!

I really need one for our play area and have been looking for about a month w/no luck.

 

[december]

I don't know where Piecey got hers, but I've seen something similar at Target.

I just ordered an Ergo baby carrier. Katie is a snuggle baby, and I have so much to do this summer! I've been looking at them for months, but made up my mind this morning. I ordered the sport, which was cheaper than the other models but says it wicks moisture away and keeps you and the baby cooler. In MS, that sounds like a must! I also want to use it for WDW next summer. I got it and an infant insert and was $20 away from free shipping, so I ordered dd9 a baby doll carrier, too. It was $25, and shipping was $17, so she gets a neat toy for only a few dollars more than I would have spent anyway (total was $144). She is a little old for it, but she still carries one of her stuffed animals everywhere, so she can carry "bunny" in it while I carry Katie.

Dh's mother is here helping put up the pool I bought for the kids. Dh does NOT get along with her, and he is taking it out on me with some serious attitude. So I brought Katie to the bedroom and got her to sleep, and now I'm hiding out trying to get my temper under control!
