it's is. mine were excluded because they seemed to have too much fun pushing my buttons with things like: " hey, let measure your waist and then measure mine to see who's bigger" then they would collapse in giggles why I stewed. Or worse, poke the belly pregnancy hormones and belly touching just don't mesh with me very well, lol.

@Topaz: I would be a burning bonefire!!!

Ah so you are saying they are too immature and you wanted to throtle them...LOL Guess it depends on the guys then...Its been a very long time since I have been around one that giggles....

Glad I could make you feel better about your first one LOL. That's what I was aiming for

Well it did make me relize mine was not as bad as it could of been, I'm not feeling all that good about yours though

my first one (daughter) was late! I didnt have any strech marks till a week after her due date.. my boys both came early, course they were .... heads! (breach)

I hope you get early and fast!

 

[blueeyekelly]

Tell you what, I am dreading the birth of this one more then the others, probabbly because I'm not in my 20's anymore, that and the last one (my girl) got her shoulder stuck comming out and they had to turn her, while 3 people held me down, Yes I was leaving via the wall above my head...LOL

So are all breach babies .... heads? hehe

 

[Kimerpuff]

breach meaning they wanted to come our .... first instead of head first.. so I call em .... heads!

combined with they were both boys... enough said!

 

[blueeyekelly]

LOL- I know what breach is... Just trying to be humorus, guess I failed at that agian...LMAO

Ok like some one sugested (Kinkachoo) I just spent all day (ok yes I didn't have anything better to do...lol) playing with a gift regestry, went a little wild on it but its all in fun, I had no idea how expensive some baby things are getting, or what people who buy some of this stuff is thinking, I'm doing the whole sugested regestry thing and let me tell you never had all that stuff for my other kids....LMAO I had a good time though...

As for guessing the time and day the baby is born have fun with that, I just hope its quick (any one know if what they say about raspberry leaf tea is true???) but then again reading about some of you gals labors you would say mine were quick...LMAO

This is kind of weird but they say that massaging your nipples induces labor LOL. I personally didn't have to go this far with any of mine they were all 5-8 hours of labor.

My middle daughter was breach. Sitting indian style with her feet smashed against my bladder. That was fun! She came out with a foot print bruis on her .... cheek. I wish i would have thought to take a picture of that.

I had a 'surprise' shower thrown for us. Something that, if I hadn't been pregnant, I would have seen coming 100 miles away. But, it was thrown by 90% MEN!! (That's what happens when that's who you work with!)

AND THEY DID A GREAT JOB!!

I was bawling like a chick by the end of it all..they even made CAKES!! One saying 'Welcome Payton' and covered with Smarties and little doll house toys and the second said, "For the BEAN" because that's what the DH dubbed her from her first ultrasound picture..

Finally, they gave me a Cartier Bean Pendant necklace to remember all my friends..like this one...

Yup, bawled like a girl.

I think we should also have a thread on when the baby is born and everyone can guess the date/time ect!

Good idea Puff!!

Hmmm....

I don't think I would be comfortable doing that in the hospital...LOL My labors where relitivly short with my son I went to the hospital at 11:30pm because I was leaking fluid and my doc. decided to just pop the sack because he told be (2 days before) if I was not in labor by next monday he was...LOL at 12:30 pm my son was born, with my 2nd she came about 4 1/2 hours after going to the hospital but I waited with her till the contractions where about 5 minutes apart (started to have them about 10 am when to the hospital at midnight) But I tell you it felt a lot longer then 4 1/2 hours....LOL

Shortly before the shower..like a month or so we will post the shower in the main forum..invite whomever would like to come read what's written or partiscipate..like the can't read this thread!

 

[blueeyekelly]

I found out what a baby regestry is, its a wish list of things you kind of like so people can look at it then go shop on e-bay.....

Ok thought I would post about my search the last couple days (I figured it really didn't need a new thread because most people probabbly are not intrested..LOL)

But I'm thinking of using cloth diapers, huge upfrount cost but in the long run just may be cheaper with all the advancements in them since I knew anyone using them...LOL

So I am seeing most of them are a velcro closures these day with inserts for extra absorbency, what I like though is the thought of the disposible liners so you can just flush the nasty down.

Now my search which has lasted me hours was trying to find a disposible liner that is flushable into a septic tank, which most are not. So I am looking and looking and I did find some at resonable prices however no reviews for me to read...LOL

Of course I have no idea if I am going to like cloth diapers, the last person I knew who wore them is now almost 18...LOL but I'm thinking they may be less expencive in the long run, I remember when my other two where young and I was going through $100 in dipers for both of them in a month. Hopefully if I can pull together cloth ones to use the main expence will be washing them (another think I'm not sure of because I no longer have a dryer it died last fall and I have not had the funds to fix it) and so there is also that worry about how soft they are going to be line dried...well anyway back to what I was saying I think, with the cloth I found the septic safe liners for (with shipping) 8.49 per. 100 (and that was only one site out there I am sure if I spent a couple more hours I may find them for less) so after the upfront cost it would be less then $10 for 100, assuming I am able to utilize all the liners, so that is not a bad price for 100 diaper changes, the bad side is I would have to buy them off the net, but I have to do that with a lot of things living in middle of nowhere...

Then there is the whole thing about howmany diapers do I need... I have no idea, I have read that depending on the system you use 2 or 3 you need difrent amounts... (the 3 part is similar to the old cloth diapers with a cover, much better then the old type, and a liner... the two part is a cover and cloth diaper in one with an insert for extra absorbancy with a liner) so

I have no idea and I am just rambling on and on about diapers... now disposibles are easy but a mess to get rid of (especially when you do not have trash service) I think the most dreaded part of having a baby is all the dirty diapers... but like I said they do not seam verry economical...

Yes I am having diaper issues... you would think a person would grow out of that...LOL
