If anyone is at home during the week there is a mom and baby boot camp put on through the Silverwood Heights community association. The trainer is Rob Friedt and he is awesome. When i was on mat leave last year he did his first mom and baby session and i believe it is still running. The cost is like $30 maybe plus a $10…

i should add I made a mini goal of not eating ice cream this week. This is a pretty big goal considering I like to eat it EVERY evening! mmmmmm :)

i have found that i am more successful if i pay for an activity or it is a group activity where people expect me to show up. Left to my own devices I am pretty good at talking myself out of things. sooooo I swim with my swim club twice a week and have signed up for a national swim competition called the million meter…

Hi!! My name is Melissa and I have a 19 month old son named Kaleb. I need to get on an actual computer and make sure i check this group because my phone app doesn't have the community pages. I have always been very active and prior to having Kaleb I was biking to work, doing sprint triathalons, biking to bootcamps,…

I couldn't find the group in the search, i'll try again later. I'd love to join too if there is room, sounds like the perfect fit.

I haven't tried sunbaby but I have tried Alva and Kawaii (both from China). Kawaii's are by far my favourite. They have a pure and natural line and a little green baby bamboo line that are super trim. They've been great for my skinny baby. I've found them on ebay and they come from the supplier just cheaper. They arrived…

Some doulas will provide a payment plan. Mine was really affordable, she charged $350 and my work health plan covered the cost! A friend of mine hired a doula that specialized in hypnobirthing and the cost was closer to $900. They are there to support both you and your partner. They don't take over for your partner unless…

I hired a doula. Found her through word of mouth and then we had a meeting to get to know each other. I liked her immediately so I hired her. We met another three times before i delivered. We discussed my expectations of her, what services she would provide, she answered any questions I had, offered advice, made a birth…

My girlfriend said to me "I didn't think you'd turn out to be such a granola mom". I didn't really respond to it but she said it after asking if I was still cloth diapering. suppose i'll just take that as a compliment. My son is 6 month old now and I wash a load of diapers every 2nd day. no big deal. poop is poop it's…

I forgot to reply to this....I have two thirsties duo covers and I like them. I have the velcro closures just because right now I get a better fit on my skinny baby but i can see how snaps would last a lot longer. In the thirsties cover i use a thirsties fitted diaper at night time and I also have some duo inserts which…

I had this experience with my applecheeks too. I love the two prints I have but my size one applecheeks are on the last snap on my skinny legged 12 pound boy. I like them but not enough to make my whole stash applecheeks or even to buy the size 2's. Too bad as I'd like to support a canadian company. I had leaks when he was…

my husband brought home a straypuppy from the reserve when I was about 4 months pregnant. I thought it was a terrible idea because I knew exactly who would be caring for this dog despite his "i promise to love him and walk him and clean up after him" speeches. Well the dog turned out to be a great companion and I love him.…

cloth diaper update: I just started using the cd's last week (my son will be 8 wks old). He has the skinniest legs ever and the diapers didn't fit very well but he's starting to pork up so we've been using the cd's as much as we can. (We should say I.....haha....my husband changed his mind and will only put a disposable…

congrats bru!!!! welcome Miranda! My boy is 4 1/2 weeks old now and he still has trouble latching. Sometimes he gets it sometimes not but he never stays latched so we've been using a nipple shield and he feeds fine with that. I guess if I have to use that while I breastfeed then whatever....it works. It's still a big…

Welcome Ivy and Travis :) EliseMarie- everything happened super fast for me as well. Actually the whole experience was nothing like I thought it was going to be but i'm not sure why I had expectations in the first place as I had nothing to compare it to. My water broke around 1 am Sunday morning then I started very mild…
-
I hired a doula to help me through a non medicated birth (at the hospital). I'm a FTM and I had no idea what to expect but I just wanted to TRY.....I also told myself that I wouldn't get too upset if I changed my mind once things were rolling. I just felt that I could do it and my body was meant to do it so I wanted to try…

too funny! good luck Bru!

Maybe we should do a "4th trimester group" ?
-
well maybe i felt "off" last week because baby was on his way out! Kaleb Zennon was born on sundaymorning, three weeks early but healthy and happy:)
-
Well I had big plans on the weekend, my family and friends were up for my baby shower on Sunday afternoon and then I had tickets to go see Mamma Mia! with my best friend that evening......also planned on being at work for two more full weeks.....then the baby came! Kaleb Zennon John made a fast and furious appearance…

This week has been challenging to say the least, I've never felt so bummed out in all my life and for no reason what so ever. I even had some great things happen this week.....I hit a huge milestone by swimming over 100,000 metres while pregnant, I had a birthday, my girlfriends came over and we had a delicious icecream…

:smile: Awesome story!!!! Thanks for sharing! Big congrats to you and your newly expanded family. Wishing you a speedy recovery and thanks for all your helpful advice on this board throughout your pregancy :smile:

It's non-alcoholic beer......... If you're a beer drinker then you probably actually like the taste of beer. I'm a beer drinker and it's summer out so if it's hot out and the situation calls for it I'll have one or two. You'll probably find one or two is enough anyways and you'll feel full from it because they tend to be…

Good to hear from you! It's been quiet on here since you left :) That's great your recovery and feeding is going well, congrats on the weight loss.

I think my girlfriends are making a care package of things they didn't have and really needed once their babies got here. Things they didn't think about like nail clippers. I'll find out on Sunday though. I made a registry and picked things like baby face clothes, crib bedding, bath tub stuff like that but I actually don't…

it's summer.....have one.
-
There is a previous thread somewhere in here discussing it that might have more info. I myself am not planning on it but my doula did it with her last pregnancy following extensive research on the benefits. She had it dried and ground and put into grape flavoured gel caps. My first thought was "that's disgusting" but there…

hope your cold goes away! I just posted in the third tri board so you can read my rant there :) I'm feeling really overwhelmed and unprepared. Work's too much, husband's no help blah blah blah....... but yes, still hanging in there.
-
my ice - good luck and congrats!!! and thanks for the words of encouragement.....what a terrible thing to say to a pregnant lady....your baby has a big head. I'm sure they all feel big on the way out. I'm not too concerned about it I just felt almost embarrassed plus I had to see a different doctor this week as mine is on…
-
welllllll......had another u/s this afternoon.....good news is my boy is now head down bad news is....he has a big head! ugh. the tech said he is measuring almost a week ahead and at 7 lbs. yikes. The doctor didn't seem too concerned, he said measurements at this stage are always tough to accurately determine. Glad he's…
