Got Baby? Avez vous un bebe?

[Kimbear 53]

Kimbear and Marilyn I am totally with you both on raising my own children. I don't want someone else influencing my kids with their food, behaviors and whatever craziness they might have. I want them to have quality characters!

For some reason i read that as quality "Crackers".

oh boy lets hope my 3 hr glucose test goes ok tomorrow so i can eat normally again and not be all messed up I swear i've been more brain dead during this 3 day diet for the test than i have been all pregnancy! lol

Kimbear, best wishes on your 3 hour glucose test!

I'm kind of excited - I found a good deal from a buy/sell site for a used crib for just $90. Great shape, no drop side or other safety issues that I can tell. Going to pick it up tomorrow...that should save us at least $150 if not $200!!!

Well i have to redo the test. half hour after drinking the drink (same one as the 1hr but twice the sugar) i nearly passed out on the floor. dizzzy hot etc. so they brought me to lie down for the rest of the test. thankfully David was with me. after the third time drawing blood and the 2nd hour my body said screw this and i puked That was an auto fail for my doctor. they didn't even want to wait for results, which i read if you get 2/3 good scores you pass. so theoretically i may have passed but my doctor wants me to redo it again. UGH

so ihave to wait a few days to recuperate and do it all over again /cry

then i come home to find out ups delivered the crib 3 days early, and nwo i have to check to make sure its ok cuz it looks like they drop kicked the box and there are foot prints all over it and every piece of tape has been cut. so now i'm wondering if its a return or not when i specifically chose a new one.

the day just keeps on getting worse.

So sorry to hear about your test Kimbear. That sounds awful!!! And scary too!! I really hope that the next time will go better for you

As for my crib deal, at 11pm last night the lady sent a message saying they'd changed their mind and would be keeping their daughter in their crib for longer and cancelled the sale... which was annoying because I had sorted out with my mother in law to meet early in the AM with her truck and go pick it up at 9am and I couldn't even let her know that late at night!!! You think they could've figured it out before I'm going to go visit a consignment store today. Hopefully it will have good deals, because dealing with online people is annoying.

[Kimbear 53]

dealing with anything online is annoying but I've noticed in the USA everyone is lazy and wont go to a store and the stores wont stock anything. the cribs I've looked at are never anywhere to be seen

and i just had to do a return for the crib. its dented, scratched, chipped and damaged. and its going to take ups 5 days to freaking pick it up. no one has it in stock around here let alone for the same price.

Wow did they do ANYTHING right with your crib? Ugh ugh ugh...

sorry about the crib and the test, Kimbear.

My shower is tomorrow and it still shows that nothing is purchased on both my registries...lol

[Kimbear 53]

Don't feel bad, my registry says the same thing and i had to get David to remind people by Facebook and in person to freaking RSVP...even after telling them twice in one week, have they? NOPE.

Its ok..i don't really give a if they show up or not at this point. Hell i didn't even care if they got me anything, but oh boy if we forget one of their last minute events they promptly call my husband to ask where the hell he is..like Really?? so yeah..** them. Just like my family, i had to re-block my sister again on FB, she can't comment on a post i make without criticizing me or picking on me. so for once and for all the last time ever she is blocked and can GTFO my life. And god forbid my mother call or write me or even ask anything about me. its no wonder i moved out at 16 years old.

I'm extremely sad and disappointed in so many things right now. its like i'm having some sort of depression and freak out this weak. Like i got all the bills too for stuff this week and i'm trying to figure out how the hell we are going to support us, 3 dogs and a kid..and I just burst out crying every day lately. And if its not me crying its me being very very angry in bursts.

And i love you guys so much because this is the only place i can vent and you understand what i'm talking about and don't make me feel like an idiot.

sorry about the crib and the test, Kimbear.

Kimbear I was reading your post and thought it needed a little button like Babycenter forums that says 'hug' on the side. It's hard being in an area where people never bother to respond and treat you with respect... people tell me it takes time to make friends, but it's time like right now when we NEED them.

[VeeNDee 44]

I'm so nervous about moving day coming and no one showing up. I wish I had more faith in the people my husband knows...but I really don't. My family is coming down but my dad is 68 so things like a washer and dryer could get interesting. Hopefully it'll all pull through. Sigh.

We had our first prepared childbirth class today. its 3 sessions 4 hours each every Saturday. The nurse basically went over whats happening with out bodies, and the upcoming changes, how to tell early labor from real labor, braxton hicks etc. we did breathing techniques, talked about ways to keep calm and relax our bodies, and watched a childbirth video. All in all it wasn't so bad. Next week we get a tour of the new Mommy and Baby hospital they just opened in May, which is where i'm delivering and so far it looks awesome.

David has a bit of social awkwardness and was nervous a bit the whole time but he did well and by the end was ok i think. I was glad he was there as alot of it focused on how he can work with me during labour and the rest of the pregnancy etc.

Just remember to try and keep calm and if you can't just walk away. There is no reason for you to get stressed out right now. I know you prolly wanna be there for the whole thing and give directions etc ( i'm like that and a tad bossy lol) but you need to relax for the baby

Just remember to breath in and breath out, it will get done.

*edit: you can rent a trolly cart thingy from uhaul for like 10$ and some straps, it makes the appliance part way easier.

Kimbear sorry the glucose drink made you sick. Did you drink the orange or the lemon lime one, I was told that the orange one has more additives in it then the lemon lime and some ppl react to that.

I don't know if you want to fight drinking that stuff again but you maybe able to get your doctor to do an alternative test. I heard some doctors will do the regular diabetes fasting test, and others times they will send you home with a glucose test kit and you test yourself for a week and right down what you ate.

I need to actually have my doctor figure out an alternative also I'm allergic to corn and the glucose drink is all corn products, dyes and additives. I had a bad reaction last time but did not realize till later if was the drink, I had no idea they put so much ####### into it.

Do you have an Ikea near you they have some really nice cribs i'm told for less then a hundred bucks.
