Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hi ladies! I'm so sorry for my absence and lack of updates. It has taken me almost a week to write this, with barely even having a chance to get on the computer at all. I’m finally at a place mentally where I feel like I can get some of this on paper, but the problem is finding the time to finish it... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Pupp , thank you for coming back to share your story! Mia , aw that makes me feel good that you think I don't complain. =) I really do try not to, because I feel so grateful to have had a healthy pregnancy and no problems to speak of - it's hard here at the end not to complain, but I know I'll miss... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
41+3 today. Baby is still baking. Yesterday we went in for the biophysical profile ultrasound and another checkup. Scored a perfect 8, so baby is good, and fluid level is good. I know the estimates can be off, but she did say based on the head and abdomen measurements that she estimates the baby is ... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Just a short update to this afternoon's post... we had our appointment, and the NST was fine - baby still looks great, so no worries there. The midwife did say she wanted to do a cervical check, and to sweep my membranes if I was ok with it. I had not really had sweeping the membranes on my brain fo... |

Re: Cloth Diapers?
Just realized I never came back here and updated after we received our newborn diapers! 24 Kissaluv fitteds, and 6 Thirsties duo wrap covers. 20130122_214112.jpg 20130125_111818.jpg 20130125_115411.jpg Now they're all washed, prepped, and ready to take to the hospital! ::) They're so soft, and cute!... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Sorry guys, I just popped back in and realized how long my last post was - I am so sorry! I had sat down to do a quick update, and was so tired that night, so I have no idea how I ended up writing so much. I'm sure there are tons of run-on sentences and rambling, so I apologize! We had an appointmen... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hi all, figured I should check in... still baking away here! Due date is tomorrow! Things have been a bit all over the place here lately. My Granddad passed away last Monday, which I'm dealing with fine (he had been declining, but certainly wasn't at the "end", so it was still a surprise) ... |

Whew, ok here we go! Prana - I was so happy to hear from you - congratulations!! You had been on my mind.

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Hi ladies, sorry I've been MIA for a while. 38 1/2 weeks. Just been busy juggling getting everything at home ready, and being so tired, and trying to balance all that with the obligation I still feel to go to work and try to continue saving my time up until the birth. This past week has been particu... |

Re: Any baby wearing parents here?
Yeah, I've heard that the infant insert for the Ergo is pretty hot. FYI, the Baby Ktan that I mentioned above also can be used for newborns, which I definitely plan to do. |

Re: Cloth Diapers?
Any users of Nellie's Laundry Soda here? I use cloth feminine pads, and I've used Nellie's on them from the beginning and loved it - no scent, very concentrated and goes a long way - and cleans really well. From the brief research I've done, it appears to be approved for cloth diapers (it's a natura... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
Small update for me... chugging along at about 36.5 weeks. I can tell things in my body are definitely changing and preparing - I'm having new twinges and feelings that I haven't experienced yet. I've had multiple people tell me that I look like I've dropped, and I think I can tell too just in how i... |

Re: Cloth Diapers?
LC you are awesome! Thank you so, so much - it's really nice to get a rundown from someone who's in the grind and dealing with it every day. Sounds like having a routine is key to it all running smoothly and staying on track.

Re: Cloth Diapers?
FYI, thanksmama.com has Kissaluv fitteds for $12.95 ($1 less than some websites), plus they are running $0.96 off each right now - so I just saved $23 off 24 of them. Also not a huge discount but still a discount, they had an additional $0.50 off Thirsties duo wraps (didn't advertise it but it showe... |

Re: Cloth Diapers?
LC - ahh, makes perfect sense with the wipes and diapers. Thank you thank you thank you for the daycare tips! I just realized this - to clarify, do you just use a wet bag for dirty ones and keep the clean diapers in the backpack, or a wet/dry bag with the dry pocket for the clean diapers? And I gues... |

Re: Any baby wearing parents here?
I plan to get the Baby Ktan (breeze version, since it's fairly warm and humid here a lot). It's gotten some votes on here, and as soon as I looked it up, I knew I'd like it - still a wrap, no structure, but I like the way it works and has a little organization to it, vs. just one long piece of fabri... |

Re: Cloth Diapers?
Awesome, thank you! They have them for $8.95, which is at least $4 if not $5 less than the new ones, which will add up quick if I have a stash primarily made of these. We hope to use this for the newborn stage, but be phased out of them by around 3 months and hopefully into the one size pockets, sin... |

Thanks ladies! :wavey: Haven - so glad to hear you and the husband are both loving the cloth!! I bet that little baby tush is too!

Re: Cloth Diapers?
I finally made it through this whole thread! :appl: Just wanted to make sure I had covered my bases and seen any suggestions or tips that I hadn't read before elsewhere.

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
I'm up in the very early morning hours, as has been happening a little more lately... 2, 3, 4am... blegh.

Re: Thoughts on purchases (ex. stroller) with baby #2 in min
Well we went by the store yesterday to check out the City Select, just out of curiosity - I wanted to push it and get a feel for it, since the City Elite basically pushes like a dream in my opinion. I also wanted to see all the different variations the Select is capable of. I have to admit that the ... |

Re: Calling all the Pregnant PS''ers
I'm curious if any women reading this have experienced any lightheadedness or weakness towards the end of their pregnancy. Of course I'm tired and run down these days, but for the past few days to a week, I've literally felt a little weaker, and even had some moments where I get slightly lightheaded... |
