Hellobee Boards

I remember know, you had the similar ideas to me!

For the first one what about brown for an accent color or a yellow?

Our bedding is this: http://www.cocalo.com/item.asp?id=1452&brand=6&g=1&coll=&cat=1 and we re using ivory, brown, and mint green as accent colors. We are pulling in the coral color more, since I'm not into pink. I'm starting to wish I would have done more of a sky blue than mint green, but too late so I will make it work.

Purple Options that aren't "kiddie" that I found:

Like any of those?

@CarrieLouWho: Oh yes, I remember your thread about your bedding. I still like the Dahlia better. You could pair it with gray or yellow. Or maybe navy blue and gold accents? Or just navy blue? I love the coral and blue theme. Super cute.

@hilsy85: Ahhh those are both so different! I guess it depends what kind of style you want to go with. I personally love the owls. You could do a woodland theme. It would be so cute!

@jessiejo17: Love yours! Very pretty.

I bought this baby blanket off Etsy.

This is where I first found the bedding:

I'm not really liking the crib skirt though. So I'm thinking about trying to make a crib skirt with the Michael Miller fabric and then doing a plain sheet or maybe something with a light pattern. The bumper is not recommended anymore, right? What about when your kid is older? Is the bumper necessary?

Everyone's picks for nursery items are so cute!!!

It's so fun to decorate a fun new room we're doing gray/yellow/whites -- with elephants and giraffes - fun!

So... Had a monthly check up today - gained 4 lbs this month! Yikes!! I def had a growth spurt belly-wise - im at 12 lbs total since getting pg... They said its fine - but I feel like I need to cool it with my bagels and cream cheese!

Also got the whooping cough vaccine - dh needs one now.

@hilsy85: I think around the time we are now there tends to be a little spike in weight gain -- mostly according to friends that said the same thing happened to them! So I bet we will be ok moving forward! It's temporary though - I don't want to obsess - just want to be healthy!

@mrskc: oooh good luck! I have that test on 7/17. Question--were you allowed to drink water before/after you drank the glucose drink? I think I'll be fine not eating, but I know I"ll be super thirsty, since I always am now!

@hellobeeboston: I hope so...I'm trying to focus on the fact that I don't really look (I think) or feel like I've gained 15lbs. I just hope I haven't gained another 9lbs at my next appt!

@mrskc: ok phew! That's a relief

@hilsy85: I have my rescheduled one on the 17th too! Luckily for me, my office doesn't make me fast just told me not to do somethign crazy like eat a candy bar or drink a full pop before. I have been trying to be good so hopefully that helps!

I gained 9 lbs from 16-20 weeks, and I about cried because it was so much in a little time. From 20-24 weeks I gained another 3, so 12 tota so farl Yikes.

Hey Ya'll! Sorry I've been MIA this week!
Thanks for the help on bedding... I think I found another option I like, so who know what we are going to end up with! Hopefully I can make a decision soon :o)

I just scheduled my glucose test for Tuesday 7/3. Should be fun sitting in the lab for an hour!

I was overweight before getting pregnant, so my weight gain has been a little different... I lost 15 lbs at the beginning and that stayed pretty steady for a while. I've put on about 3 lbs over the last 2-3 weeks. My doctor only wanted me to gain about 10-15 total though, so all is good.

Hope everyone has a great weekend! I'm in VA and we have a heatwave - over 100 degrees it looks like all weekend and high 90s all next week - BOO!!!

I'm trying to mentally prepare for the scale next Thursday when I go again for the first time in 4 weeks (I'll be almost 25 weeks). I am definitely having spurts where I won't gain an ounce for 2 weeks and then bam, 4 pounds in a week.

@mrskc: Feeling good, although a little more tired than usually after the busy holiday! I'm glad we don't have much planned for the weekend so we can relax.

I'll be 27 weeks tomorrow, it is so crazy to think I'm almost in the 3rd trimester!!!

@mrskc: Congratulations on viability!!! Exciting exciting

Doing good over here…25w1d. Just waiting to move and NEST. We’ll hopefully be moving next weekend and I can’t wait. We ordered a rug for baby boy’s room yesterday and we’re set on his name.

@hilsy85:
We picked up paint swatches last week and I’m DYING to put some paint on the walls to try things out! Good luck!

@mrskc: Lol wellllll I posted a thread asking for opinions on the name and I’m pretty sure that’s what we’re going to go with. DH has just been really stubborn about actually committing to it. I think now he’s just doing it to tease me! He’s stopped looking up names so I’m taking that as a good sign

This is the rug that we ended up buying! We ordered it in the green.

@mrskc: Well we were originally trying to decide between Samuel and Nathan but then we totally flipped a switch and now it’s Beckett. Went from completely traditional to not so much lol. I just feel like that’s HIS name for some reason! I was shocked when DH actually liked it. So we’ll see! I think the junior thing is cute when the actual name is cute and Jack is adorable You could even call him JJ or something if you wanted to shorten it. The nursery is separated into an upper and lower section of wall by white crown molding so we’ll be painting the top half dark grey and the bottom half light grey. The main colors will be grey with pops of the bright green and Peter Pan touches. I can’t wait to actually see it come together!

@mrskc: Thanks!!! Yepp, Harper is little Holler's name lol. I LOVE the name Elliott! That was on my list too LO's middle name will be my husband's first name but it was my idea. It took him a while to get used to the thought of it/like it. I think that it would take time for me to get used to it if I was the one baby was being named after too!

ETA: Oh, and don't think I'm crazy but I definitely want to call LO Becks as a nickname. I can just picture a little blue eyed blonde toddler nicknamed Becks! *This is about the point where DH starts rolling his eyes lol

@Running Elley: What an adorable name!! I liked both Samuel and Nathan, but I like Beckett even more! Congrats on the house - how exciting to get in there and start nesting!
@mrskc: I think we decided on a boy's name if Baguette is a boy...Jack! He'll be named after both grandfathers. I've always loved that name, but for some reason I'm only lukewarm on it for our little guy while DH loves it. Maybe B will be a girl after all!
I'm also hanging around at 23 weeks, 4 days. Everyone is saying how much I'm growing, and I had a weigh-in to prove they're quite right. Still only up about 13 pounds but I put on 3 lbs in not quite 3 weeks which has been my quickest weight gain yet. I have my glucose test a week from today and we're registering tomorrow which I am so excited about to actually start picking out stuff for little Frances Baguette in there!

@Tidybee: Thanks!!!!! Btw, I did NOT know that you were lotam until you said something to J in another thread today lol. I'm so glad that you're here And like I said to KC, I really really like the name Jack! I just have a feeling that maybe you're going to have a girl after all haha. My confidence has been shaken in any original gender thoughts that we all had and since both mine and J's were wrong I'm assuming that you're having a girl now!

@Tidybee: Ah neat! I love the name Jack.. obviously. lol And good to know that you're lotam from WB.

I've been shy to ask people if they want to share their WB username. I suspect some of you are on both with different usernames. Those of you that have the same name are obvious. I have the same avatar, so I think that makes it obvious.

ETA: if you don't want the two linked, then I totally understand!

@CarrieLouWho: Wow! Less than 100 days left. how exciting!

Oct is going to be here before you know it ladies!

Have any of you noticed a slight pressure in your lower pelvis? For me it happens every couple of days or once a day and it lasts a couple of minutes. I'm wondering if it's just the baby's position? Or if it's something to worry about. And also, (TMI sorry) are you ladies experiencing a lot of discharge?
