I just finished Season 1 of American Horror Story, tried watching Downtown Abbey but couldn't get into it! And now I'm watching episodes of Nashville! Love the Pad! avivoca on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-550076 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:17:45 +0000 avivoca 550076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got an iPad mini for Christmas, and I think it's going to come in handy when I'm couch-bound. I mainly got it so my husband and I could Facetime when he's traveling, but since getting it, I have only touched my laptop twice.

I am spoiled now:). Oh and we got the bluetooth keyboard that the ipad props into for when I need to type more than a few words and I love it. cascademom on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-550050 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:09:32 +0000 cascademom 550050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @blackbird: I was pleasantly surprised how much I like it. I fought for the longest time against getting a tablet since it seemed like everyone had one. When I was pregnant, we didn't have a need, but on maternity leave with a baby on the boob, the need was there. I'm definitely a convert to it. My husband nicknamed it the "Babytop." blackbird on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-550032 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 10:03:01 +0000 blackbird 550032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ man, you guys are making me think I need one ;) *need* is a strong word, though.

I have the 3rd one, I believe htey came out with a new one today. The 3rd one's camera is pretty good, and the video camera is nice to catch quick videos!

So multi-functional (watch tv, read, email, take pictures, etc) while baby was feeding or sleeping or just hanging out in my arms. matador84 on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-549901 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 07:52:16 +0000 matador84 549901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Yea!

It was too hard to do Internet stuff with a bulky laptop. oliviaoblivia on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-549859 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 05:10:12 +0000 oliviaoblivia 549859@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I LOVE having my iPad while nursing. I haven't opened my laptop since she was born. It's a luxury, but so so nice to have. I sit and catch up on emails, Netflix, HB, etc. while she eats. tequiero21 on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-549857 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 05:02:46 +0000 tequiero21 549857@https://boards.hellobee.com/ We now have 2 iPads because I used/use it so much... hellocupcake on "Do you have an Ipad or tablet for postpartum?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-an-ipad-or-tablet-for-postpartum#post-549826 Tue, 05 Feb 2013 01:18:21 +0000 hellocupcake 549826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I love my iPad.

I would have never survived the hours I spent holding baby while he napped without one. Oh and I used BabyConnect to track feedings, diapers and sleep.

It's awesome! I was on it all the time during my mat leave.

(The iPad 2 has an awful camera, better for skyping than keeping photos).

Yeah, I'm not pregnant but when I do get pregnant, I'm going to probably splurge on an ipad. Seems like something really useful to have, so you don't have be at a desk to use your computer.
