Hellobee Boards

@buttermilk: Several times at first, then as they stop pooping at night it lessens. I stopped doing diapers entirely at night around... 5-6 months if I remember correctly? Unless of course he randomly pooped, but that rarely happened.

@buttermilk: We're doing the Rock N Play in our master bedroom for the first little bit, and using the Pack N Play (with newborn napper) downstairs - I figure if the Rock N Play ends up not working for night time sleep, we'll just switch them up and move the PnP upstairs.

@krispi: I swear, my little guy can be kicking up a storm but as soon as I have my husband put his hand there, he stops! We got lucky this past weekend though - DH was laying with his head on my belly while we were watching a movie, and he got a random kick in the head. Have fun on your trip to Florida - I bet a little rest and relaxation will feel sooo good right about now!

Okay guys thanks for all your advice! I'm thinking a smallish pack n play is the best bet then. Looking at the Nuna Sena Mini which has a bassinet attachment!

In other news, I just peeled all of my clothes off within 10 seconds of arriving home. I swear I feel twice as big as I look. Went out shopping looking for a fancy blouse to pair with this chiffon skirt I have for a gala I have to go to next week. Found nothing! And I started rolling my eyes at all the stores with stairs. No thanks!

@Mrs. J: I had the same problem with the iron with my first! I take pregvit and the vitamin is split in to a morning dose and a night one. The morning had the iron in it which was hard on my stomach so I swapped the doses and took the iron before bed and it worked. Sometimes if I would take it and get delayed in going to bed, I would feel some nausea but now that I have it figured out, it's the last thing I do before bed and I'm good. Maybe try at night time?

@krispi: That's cool that your DH is actually interested in classes. Mine is definitely just going to make me happy, but he doesn't hate it. They cover infant care at some point, which I think he'll be glad of. He's held a baby all of twice in his life. And maybe being on vacation together will make it easier for your husband to feel the baby! DH felt her move a ton when we were on the cruise, because he was actually with me all the time. Usually he's not around when she has her really active times, but since he was always there he could actually catch it.

Regular OB appointment today. Nothing too exciting. Glucose test on 5/15 and I really hope I pass because I do NOT want to deal with GD again (and I want a smaller baby this time! Ha).

@Mrs. J: So, apparently I'm up 9lbs this month for a total of 19 Definitely don't believe that because I just weighed myself at my mom's yesterday and I was 5lbs less. The same thing happened around this point with N and the next time I went back, I'd only gained like 2lbs, so it all evened out. Crazy doctor scales!

@LauraBear: ️congrats!!!@lilteacherbee: good luck with the test! Fx!

@LauraBear: Yay, congrats!!

@autumnlove: Oh no, sorry you're dealing with that Does he think there's a chance your placenta will move?

@autumnlove: excuse my ignorance, but what is accreta?

@autumnlove: Oh wow, I didn't realize hysterectomy was a risk. So sorry you're dealing with this!

@LauraBear: congrats!!

@autumnlove: boo I'm so sorry!!

@autumnlove: oh my goodness! It would be frustrating for me to have a doctor say there's a "30% chance you have it." I would just want to know! Thinking of you.

@Mrs. Microscope: yes happens all the time!!

@OhCaptain: I'm currently in a chocolate phase! Particularly chocolate shakes. While pregnant with LO1 I was pretty much addicted to maltesers! (the chocolate) so it will be interesting if that happens again.

Looks like I'm developing a cold I was going to book in to get the flu vaccine this week after seeing my midwife but looks like I'm too late. Have a dreadful headache and starting to get sore sinuses.

@MrsStar: Chocolate shakes! I have been wanting one all day! I told my kitties if they made me one I'd let them have some vanilla ice cream, but they just stared at me and meowed.

@buttermilk: Pineapple here too! I have been buying frozen organic pineapple and just eating the chunks. SO GOOD! Also, frozen mixed berries, topped with some whipped cream.

I was also craving tortellini tonight, so I bought some and brought it home to cook. It smelled like old feet when I opened the package, and even worse in the boiling water!!! I checked the expiration date, and it was okay. DH came in an exclaimed that it smelled SO GOOD, and then I just KNEW: BLUE CHEESE. I HATE BLUE CHEESE. I checked the package, and sure enough, the "5 cheese" blend had blue cheese. WHO DOES THAT?! And WHY wasn't it on the FRONT of the package, rather than hidden in the fine print ingredient list?! I have NEVER seen blue cheese in cheese tortellini before, unless its at some fancy restaurant! UGH! Good news is that the stench boiled off, and they are at least edible. But I will never buy O Sole Mio brand again!

Wow, that really turned into quite the rant!

@OhCaptain: Cheese and carbs! I'm pretty sure I could live on lasagna, grilled cheese, and nachos at this point. (Although @Mrs. Microscope: will be glad to hear that my cheese craving does NOT include blue cheese. YUCK!)

@OhCaptain: I want seafood, steak and papaya!

Thanks for all the congrats! I can't believe I'm going to be a mom to a boy!!! Starting to get really excited....

@OhCaptain: I haven't had many clear cravings. I have been LOVING fried eggs though. Every time we go out for breakfast I get some. Yesterday I ate my two, and wanted more so DH gave me one of his. And I still wanted more!
