@wifegoodman: so this might be a really stupid question, but I was looking at the crib you said you're getting (you did say the Nurseryworks Uptown, right?) - gorgeous, btw! - but I was wondering if the mattress has adjustable levels?  I am wondering because the crib I am currently obsessed with is this one: http://www.franklinandben.com/products/mason-4-in-1-convertible-crib/ and DH pointed out to me that the mattress looked really low, and I have enough back issues as it is and so we got concerned that bending over to put the baby in and out of the crib might be more difficult.  I plan to go look in person once we get our whole move settled and whatnot, but it seemed from the pics that the Uptown crib had a similarly placed low mattress, so was just curious if you had any thoughts.... random question, I know =)

@katlovesjames:  sooo sorry you are still struggling with this, but glad to hear that your LO's heartbeat is going strong and he/she seems to be doing well in there!

@mojoh:  I am sorry that you're feeling so shitty still! I have def cried a couple of times staring down food and knowing that eating it was going to be torture!

@katlovesjames:  Thanks for the new thread!

I am going on a daycare waitlist now for daycare in February of next year, I think! The only problem is that you have to put a month's deposit down to go on the waitlist, and a month is $1200! So that will be a bit of a squeeze right after the holidays. It's an expensive daycare but it's the nicest one in the city, it has webcams to watch the baby on all day long, and it happens to be right across from my work so I can still breastfeed easily! I have a really flexible workplace so I will def not go back full time right away.

Also, our nursery is totally going to be grey and yellow! Steel grey and a light yellow. This is my inspiration pic:

Oops forgot to follow the thread!

Already another thread! I wonder how many we will have by the time we deliver!

My NT scan went fine. Not what I expected, but fine. 

First of all, baby was not cooperating with me. Before leaving I told baby that they better show me their goods, and this little one would NOT move. Haha. The specialist was pressing on my stomach to get the baby to turn over so that he could look at the neck, and 20 minutes later, baby finally did and the specialist turned off the machine because he ha already done the other things. My heart sank.

Baby! Why did you do this to me? Lol. And I only got two pictures. 

But it was amazing to see the baby and know that everything is alright, and that I have such a low chance of having problems. Baby's heart was 161!

@Mrs.JA:  I love the drawer at the bottom of the crib. So classy! And convenient for storing possibly toys. Haha

@wifegoodman:  Love that crib! But I'm going to wait a bit to become obsessed with nurseries. Of course, I want to decorate the room, but I'm a bit overwhelmed. Once I pick a theme or colors I will go crazy! I would love to do an under the sea theme or winnie the pooh for a boy or alice in wonderland for a girl.

@katlovesjames:  Me! 1st july

Hi ladies. Yup been MIA again, I've travelled home which means a long long trip of 28 hours plus 11 hrs of jetlag so only now feel like myself and have time! 

I need to catch up on all the posts but hope everyone is doing fine! 

Meanwhile im at 16w4d and We found out the sex of our baby and it's a boy.

To be honest, We had wanted a girl, my family too, indeed big pressure on me, so there's gender disappointment and mourning over not having a girl. Plus my tendency to depression it's delicate sad and weird days coming to terms with blue. We don't even have boy names picked out. I do think though that boys are slightly easier to raise and if things don't work well with my FI, it'll be easier to be a single mom with a boy than a Girl, donno. Anyway, little bun is doing great, perfect it seems and now measures some 20cm, fits in your palm. 

Im not showing but instead look fat really. And nausea has continued. Less intense but still there. 

Hope to hear from everyone else! 

@mojoh: im thinking of getting a pack and Play. so no, you're not an odd ball! Or maybe we both are! I just think that practicalities and cost are important plus we're not living in a country in which we'll be in for much longer, so don't want to be investing. Ive heard the pack and pack can also be used as an enclosed area for daytime play. I'm going to start looking at modEls too. 

@MsKeee:  Lovely inspiration photo!! I really like nurseries like that, sleek and modern. 

@MsKeee:  I have seen that nursery!! That is my inspiration for a rug.  They have a similar pattern at target right now in blue and beige, I think. 

@katlovesjames:  We have our names picked out!!  We dont have a middle name for a boy though.  My husband is one of 4 boys and they have 3 nephews so far as well.  ALL of them have strong normal man names so I wasn't allowed to get too unique with it.  Everytime I would say a name he would be like - now, can you really imagine a professional baseball player named ______ or Dr. ______.... Nope.  So we have a very beautiful and unique girl name and a very common but still strong boy name.  I will share when we know the sex on March 1st.  Feels so far away! :(

@cjfs:  Congratulations on the boy!! I know when you have something in your head as an expectation and it changes you are instantly disappointed but just think about it like this - you will have a mama's boy, you won't have to pay for a majority of a wedding, you will only rent tuxes rather than buy thousand dollar gowns for dances....... see? A boy will be great!! :)

@cjfs:  Pack and plays are great ideas, totally affordable and will definitely serve its purpose!! I got a crib simply for decorating purposes and it turns into a toddler bed and then a full sized bed with a different mattress so, it will get lots of use out of it. 

I am 14 Weeks TODAY girls!  I have trouble sleeping - I am up and down going to the bathroom every night and then at some point I am normally up for a few hours too. This has been going on all week.  On top of that, I have a sinus infection and am alergic to amoxocillan so I am toughing it out.  Wish me luck, because it f'n sucks.

My husband did get the nursery all painted and the trim painted this week.  We have all of the pallet boards ready to put on to the nursery wall and our crib was delivered last night!!  I am excited to see it all come together!  I realize it is super early but my husband is a baseball coach so he will be too busy to live from late Feb to early June and I am not waiting to decorate a nursery until JUNE.

Stupid question and I GUARANTEE 90% of you are going to say, why do you care?

BUT

for example, I am exactly 14 full weeks pregnant today.

Tomorrow I would be 14 weeks and 1 day...

When people ask how far along you are what do you say?

I would say I am in my 15th week... but then I get wondering if that is incorrect.

Will I be in my 14th or 15th week tomorrow?

For some reason I cant wrap my mind around it.

@katlovesjames:  I love unique names too, but my husband has refused every one of them. I once mentioned I loved then ame Marina, and he looked at me so crazy. But it's so cute to me.

@MrsB1015:  I get emailed that tell me "Your 14th week" even though I just turned 13 weeks Friday. So, I would answer them and say I'm in my 14th week lol. Doesn't matter if you are slightly wrong, they won't be over there doing the math, and if they are they have some problems. 

I always liked getting those emailed throughout my pregnancy, because it always had one week higher than I was, but told me things that were going on if I was 13 weeks or so. I believe it was the American Pregnancy Association, so I think they are correct...?

@wifegoodman:  Haha, mine was the opposite! Baby was moving it's arms and legs but just would not move over or flip or anything!

@mojoh:  Am I crazy for not wanting an epidural? I actually wanted a natural birth at a center, but none take my insurance so that's out the window. I talked to my mother in law and she was saying how when she gave birth, it only felt like really bad cramps. But then I thought, "You had an epidural!" lol 

Oh, we'll see what happens that day also. If I can't take it, then I will probably cave. I hope not though!

@MsKeee:  That is such a cute nursery! In love!
