Def do not send a pic! She sounds crazy enough to try and kidnap your son from school or daycare or something! Keep being the classy lady and don't lower yourself to her level.

Try putting the bassinet in their iiwn room first so they get used to sights, smells and sounds in a familiar sleep setting before putting baby into the crib. That might ease the transition. We also have a video monitor, which made it Mich easier f…

Agree! Little one will be 5 months on the 12th and it is the greatest! If we can make it this far, I think I can do it the whole first year.

I Have been stalking your post and I just wanted to say I am so glad all went well. Been praying for you and your princess

I asked our ped about rice cereal vs oatmeal and she said the rice was more broken down and less likely to cause an allergic reaction. That was why she recommended it first before oatmeal

Sometimes but if you catch it early it might just be red, super sensitive, and puffy.

It could be a stye forming. If it is, they have ointment to make it go away. Try Googling and see if your symptoms match that

From 11-17 pounds is 2.5ml. We went for Claras 4 month appt this morning so I checked the dosage chart in the office. Hope your princess is feeling better!
-
Tylenol for the fever and try steaming up the bathroom and letting her sit in the room with you. Hope she feels better!

You need to try and get him to eat for longer periods of time so thatg. He can go longer in between. Don't let him cry, but try and distract him when he first wants to nurse (change his diaper, play with him, whatever) so that he is hungrier when h…

Make sure you are hydrated. I used to get BH whenever I didn't drink enough. It could be your body preparing for labor. At 40 wks, it should be happening soon enough!

My daughter will be 14 wks on Monday and she weighs about the same, a little under 12 pounds. She eats approx every 3 hours during the day (EBF) and usually wakes up once at night to eat. Our schedule is eat, play, nap every 3 to 4 hours. She usu…

Also steam up the bathroom and let her sit in there with you. The steam will decongest them with less fighting than the saline

I would suggest the book "on becoming babywise". A friend suggested it to me...its all about schedules and such. I found it at a used bookstore for less than 2 bucks!
-
Also try B vitamins, and keep snacks handy! Munching on a saltine cracker throughout the night made it a bit more tolerable. I threw up for 9 months straight so after awhile I just got used to it, but if you get really dehydrated, zofran and phene…

Don't forget to bring a baby nail file to the hospital so your little one won't scratch their face before you even get home! Also, our wipe warmer is definitely a newborn essential! Clara screams during diaper changes without it.

My daughter loves them! Just be sure you open the vent on the nipple before first use (squeeze it from the inside) or the nipple can collapse. Super easy to clean and I LOVE the microwave sterilizer!
-
I also had the sonoline and loved it! I was throwing up for 9 months straight and it gave me such peace of mind and a reminder of why I was feeling sick. I passed mine along to a friend who had a previous mc and she adores it as well. I highly re…

It was 5 years ago that I took them, but I bought the kaplan study book and it had everything I needed to study. I hadn't taken a math class since my 3rd semester but still pulled a 730 on the math section! Good luck!

Its supposed to go clockwise in the winter which pushes air down the sides of the room rather than onto the center. Just keep it on low. If you have a stand fan rather than ceiling I would not have it blowing right at her crib, but near it so air …

Breathable bumpers come in cute patterns now and take the worry away! My kmart store even had some on clearance last week cheap! Supposedly the two risks are suffocation (not an issue if your baby is mobile) and air flow, so if you use the old one…

Kidney stones are worse than labor! I had one at about 7 months preggo and it actually caused contractions it hurt so bad! My doc swore it was a pulled muscle, made me feel like a huge baby, and only sent me for a renal ultrasound to humor me, and…

We live far from our families and didn't know gender so we are having a Christening party instead. I agree its more fun with the baby present. Wha big swollen pregnant woman wants to be center of attention? I sure didn't!
-
What type of bottles have you tried? I breastfeed and use the tommee tippee bottles when I pump. They are supposed to be shaped more like your nipple and my daughter loves them. Just make sure the valve is open before first use or the nipple will…

Very true and normal that many bf moms don't get their period. However, that is NOT a reliable form of birth control. Keep using condoms!
-
I used the app My Days to track my periods anyway and it gives you an estimate of your fertile days. When we got to that week, we just had sex every day to cover bases. Don't run to bathroom right away after, just relax and try to tilt your hips a…

4 weeks 4 days till EDD! I just hope time keeps flying because now I feel ready to meet baby and get off of team yellow! Any other december mommies waiting on team yellow?

You could always do molded chocolates like I did for my wedding. Go to a craft store and they sell wafers of chocolate in all different colors. They also have plastic molds in all different shapes. The chocolate melts in the microwave and you squ…

Make sure you are using a bbt thermometer...its accurate to 2 decimal places instead of one. The rise can be very slight so you need the more accurate thermometer. They aren't expensive. Walmart has them right next to the other thermometers by th…

Don't stress and try the pillow under your hips to encourage his little swimmers in the right direction afterwards! If ur cervix is opening (you are fertile) you will notice less "stuff" come out later on...a little tmi but it worked for …
