Tuesday Randoms Go Here

[madamewaffles]

It's Tuesday!

What's new in your world?

[cocobellaf]

This morning sucks.

I was super sick yesterday, so I went to bed at 7:15. I also had a big glob in my underwear yesterday afternoon but I didn't think anything of it.

This morning I had pink and bright red spotting when I used the bathroom. And then I had an epic barf session.

I've left a message with my OB (it's probably nothing). I'm trying to get something substantial in my stomach because being hungry only makes the sickness worse, but I just feel AWFUL. Where is the glory of the second trimester???

[madamewaffles]

I'm sorry for the shitty day, cocobellaf. I hope you get some answers from your OB and feel better soon.

[icaughtfire]

That sucks cocobellaf. Hope you can get some food down & the spotting is nothing.

[Ray]

Ugh I'm sorry about the spotting cocobellaf FX it's nothing.

I am still here getting huge on bed rest

Might start building a registry today for something to do.

Or I'll watch HGTV again all day.

I like to live on the wild side.

[sarcaztic10]

I hope you get som answers soon cocobellaf and I hope you can keep some food down.

I am sitting at home today and watching Netflix. There is snow on the ground outside so I probably won't be going out of the house until I pick up DS from school later.

I went down the rabbit hole of looking at different cloth diapers that I want to try. I went to the GMD website and did a mock shopping cart with a few different covers to try and their pre folds. I have also decided that I want to try to do cloth wipes with this LO as well.

I also got to peek into the infant classroom at our daycare yesterday and it seems pretty standard. We will have to use disposable diapers there which kind of sucks but I understand why they have the rule. I will get a better tour of the baby rooms at some point this week and then I will have to pay the registration fee to put my name on the list.

cocobellaf, That's awful. Hopefully, you can keep something down and feel better soon.

Ray, You walk on that wylde side



sarcaztic10, I find that I go to a lot of websites and fill my cart up... constantly. Hopefully, you like the baby rooms and you're gtg with this daycare.

MH is coming home early today and I'm hoping that we can finish baby proofing the second floor since DD is now a maniac that likes to ram head first into everything. I also want to get the paperwork in to refinance the house. It needs to be DONE. Other than that, I've been trying to identify what I want to eat.

[sarcaztic10]

TheTuna15 I really like to be prepared for approximately how much I am going to spend on things. I went to other websites first and filled up my cart before I decided on the GMD website, plus I have heard really good things about their pre folds.

DS has been going to this daycare for quite awhile now and their classes go all the way up to the private kindergarten level, which is where DS is now. We love this facility so we know we will choose them I just want to get a good tour in of the baby rooms before I pay the $125 to register LO.

[madamewaffles]

I am so over winter. I shouldn't complain, our winter didn't truly start until just before Christmas, but we've had enough cold and wind that I'm just ready to bask in the sunshine and see some green.

[glaze]

cocobellaf sorry you're having such a rough day, hopefully you get a call from your doc soon and get reassurance that it's nothing!

This morning I ate breakfast on the couch because I was feeling like crap and had my plate on my belly and the baby kept kicking it. Does not want things cramping it's space I guess!

[rungirlrun]

cocobellaf, fx that the bleeding is nothing. Thinking good thoughts for you!

sarcaztic10, I 100% recommend cloth wipes. If you are doing cloth diapers, it just makes sense to be able to put both the diaper and wipe in the same wet bag/pail to throw in the wash. I recommend cloth diaper pail bags as well - just easy to throw the entire bag in the washing machine. But that being said, I do use disposable wipes outside of the house - easier and don't want to have to carry around something to wet the cloth wipes with. Good luck with all of your searching and research!

I have gotten so weak with sleep. DS woke up really early yesterday bc he fell out of bed. Then he woke up in the middle of the night last night for no reason and early this morning for no reason. I need to put on my big girl pants for when I'm really getting no sleep come July!

If one signed up to bring a snack tray to a kid's Valentine's Day party, what would one bring?

[tootsie]

Sorry cocobellaf, sorry you're going through this

sarcaztic10, I thought prefolds were the biggest pain in the ass. As someone who bought like, 2 dozen, then barely used them, try out one or two before you buy a ton. Although DD loves them for baby doll beds, so not a total loss.

[tikoberry99]

cocobellaf, I hope you feel better and fx the bleeding is nothing to worry about.
Ray, HGTV all day sounds like an awesome plan!
sarcaztic10, I am TOTALLY obsessed with cloth diapers! I just can't stop buying stuff. I have a pretty good stash of newborn and OS diapers, but I haven't bought any prefolds yet, but I have been researching. I was told on the cloth diaper board to buy 24 newborn and 36 medium/large prefolds and about 8-12 covers. I also bought cloth wipes.

DH went to visit his parents today and won't be back until Saturday so I get to eat what I want and catch up on all my netflix shows that he doesn't like. It's also GORGEOUS out and all the snow has melted, so I might do some stuff outside while he's gone. First thing, get the damn salt off our wood steps from the snow so the wood isn't completely ruined!

Do you have any heart-shaped cookie cutters? These skewers are kind of cute. You could even go one step deeper with the strawberries and make a divot at the tops to closer resemble hearts.

[lostinfaith225]

cocobellaf. I hope your ob helps'!

tootsie. I was also going to suggest fruit. Maybe goldfish with cheese?

[cocobellaf]

Meh, doctor is sending me to the ER to get everything checked up. Going to meet H at the house and then head that way. Not going to this appt by myself!!

[littlesthobo]

Hugs cocobellaf, I hope everything checks out okay!

It's treat week here at work... Goodies every day! A pregnant woman's dream!

[tikoberry99]

cocobellaf, good luck! Sending you positive vibes.

[tootsie]

Super cute madamewaffles! I don't have a heart-shaped cookie cutter, but maybe I can find one at Target. I like that idea too lostinfaith225. Why didn't I just sign up for yogurts like I normally do?

I also am not a huge fan of prefolds and sold most of the ones I had. I tried so hard to like them!

Good luck cocobellaf!!!

I was gung-ho for prefolds. They really didn't work on my tiny newborn and I never grew to love them. Also consider who else will be diapering baby. Mh was never into cloth and prefolds were way beyond his desires to wrap a baby butt. I think we would have had more success sticking with cloth if I'd invested in something simpler at least to start out. GMD workhorses are pretty great and a good middle ground between prefolds and pockets or aios.

My work is on a long stretch of highway with pretty much nothing else around it. The road is closed on either side because of flooding. WTF I am not spending the night here.

I looked at the GMD workhorses as well and I probably should buy a couple of those to try out. I am not going to stock up too much on just pre folds. I have a few covers that I wanted to try with the pre folds to see if I like them. I really don't want to figure out how to fold the pre folds and pin them into place. I didn't think you had to do that if you had a cover like the thirsties duo wrap or similar?

I have a few BG pocket diapers that I was using with DS and they were ok but I really didn't like that I had to wash the whole diaper and couldn't just reuse the cover.
