just wanted to do a quick comment on daycare. Our daycare is right next door to our house and is open from 630-630. We're paying $204 a week no including diapers/formula sooooo....From the research that we did our area averages approx $250 a wk.

wow, active board!! Morning ladies!! Doesnt look like working out is in my future. So much going on in the evenings it's a miracle I make it to bed by 11pm!! Rayna- thought about you this morning. Both my hands were asleep and I had to have hubby rub them until I could feel sensation back in them. I think I slept on them??…

Hey ladies, just checkin in to see what everyone else is up to...Heather seems like yesterday you were just complaining about your rib cage pain!! How time is flying!! As far as Dr Brown bottles I've had nothing but feed back on those. They are a 3 part bottle- great for colicy babies. You have the nipple, the bottle and…

They do? Really?? I know it's for their own health and it maybe my raging hormones...it's been a rough week...but did that ever hit home. Your probably right- I'm sure in my mind I'm making it MUCH worse than it really is. thank you!

Ash, I've had the GD 4 times and I can tell you - the direction I was given was no food/liquid consumption after 8pm the night before. As a matter a fact no food/liquid consumption until they are done with the testing. I would definitely double check if it's the 1 hour or the 3 hour and be sure to pack a juice/snack for…

Kristen- we didn't realize that until we had the 60+ bottles sitting on our counter. But she gave them to us for a steal + nipples that she never used (still in wrapper) and a few other baby items that she never used that she just threw in. We've decided that once we know what we'll be using we're going to label a few of…

Morning!! I have my growth scan sono today at 3pm and I'm estatic!! :smooched: Hopefully this baby will more social than he was last time and I can get a good look! :smooched: The GD nurse came to the house last night. She actually works at the hospital that we turned down for the Woman Services Dept. She was very nice and…

Morning ladies- Had a long post typed out and then I cancelled out and lost everything so this may be a shorter version :laugh: DR APT well it didn't go as well as I thought. I'm up another pound - IN A WEEK!! Dr was also not happy at the fact that the diabetes company has not gotten me the necessary tools to monitor my…

karnypops- I think we've all pretty much gone into subgroups. But welcome and feel free to check out our sub groups!

Morning brandy, I think for the most part the majority of us are suffering from these allergies. My doctor just called and said i could take any tylenol product (cold/sinus), sudafed & dayquil medication. Do not take any "night time" medication unless it's tylenol. He also said to keep up on the OJ & water. Lots of bed…

FURBABIES- Hey guys, hubby just took Neena to the vet for her annual shots/exam and get our Vets blessing with the baby arriving soon. Vet did a thourough check and gave us a list of things that he recommend that we keep up- Again, these are just suggestions. I thought I would share- - Reduce food given to her. With the…

:sad: I failed my 4th Gestational Diabetes exam :sad: Can't say that I'm really surprised since I had my first exam at 11 weeks Dr is sending my file to a 3rd party company named Alier that will contact me directly. I'm to set an appt with them and they will come out to the house and show me how to do daily monitoring, go…

Your very welcome!! I'm a new mommie so I have tons of questions about how to do what and when :wink: I did recieve and email from the hospital that informed me if I register with them then all the classes that they offer would be free. Otherwise, they are $35 a pop. So I asked for a registration package- I also called my…

Quick check in before I head to my meeting today. Thank you all for responses regarding laundry detergent & breastfeeding. On my TODO list I have to research Craigslist vs Insurance for the breast pump. I also need to contact HR to see what forms/documents and other things are necessary prior to going on maternity leave. I…

Mrs Jaxx - got my new health cards today and I called about teh breat pumps. They are covered under the insurance, just not at 100%. She said I'd have to meet my deductible and then the insurance would cover 80% of the cost after that. :smile: Roseanna - sorry if I'm misspelling I'm going from memory here...yeah I thought…

OOoo...excellent suggestion Mrs Jaxx!! I need to get my new insurance cards and then I'll call and see what they say about the Medela machines & my new deductible for 2012. Meanwhile, I did find a local pharmacy that does rent 2 different models for a month at a time. $75 a month with no deposit required!!

Thank you everyone for your feedback on the laundry detergent!! We use All clear & free and was really curious if I could use that...Sounds like I can but I may have to keep an eye on it (in the beginning) but at least it gives us a good direction- Ok- 2nd QUESTION of the day :ohwell: Breastfeeding. Yeahhhhh...I plan on…

LMAO!! That's too funny and only because I know we're all going through it at some point....:laugh: ..I know I've had my share!

Brenda, thought I would share with you that my hubby is praying that I go into labor on Feb 29th!! It's leap year ya know.....:laugh: My due date is March 12th

HOW ADORABLE!! i LOVE IT!!

Morning!! Been working on our "TO DO" list for the last few days and man have we knocked off some items!! Nursery is done!! We opted not to do the mural and just hang picture frames since we know we're going to change the room once he become a toddler. Hubby & I agreed (since I'm an extreme couponer) that we also need to…

I had to take my wedding rings off a while back. At first I thought it was water retention, but I've been good about drinking my water and even reduced my sodium intake and nothing. I did call to ask my doctor and he said some women just naturally get swollen/bloated - oh well, another pregnancy joy! :ohwell:

Dr's apt went well this morning. Gained 2 lbs in the last two weeks and the doctor blamed it on the holidays :laugh: But here is to a new year and new beginnings!! Should have results back from the gestational diabetes exam sometime tomorrow. Meanwhile, looks like I have another splotch on my tummy beside the one I found…

ok, that is what I kinda figured he meant....and I started to ask but then we got side tracked with my million other questions....and then I thought about it as an after thought but if he said "right on target" then I figured there wasn't much for me to worry about. If there was he would of definitely said something.…

Ok, I'm right at 30 weeks and thee dr said I'm measuring 31 ~ 32....which is right on target??? What does that mean exactly???

Afternoon ladies- I'm trying to make the best of working the last Saturday of the year. :frown: Hubby's is closing tonight, but we're not complaining he should be home by 1130 just in time to cheer a Happy 2012 New Year with me and the baby :wink: can't say I've done much working out, despite me getting my so much wanted…

Nicole!! Oh my gosh, I'm so glad to hear that things are going well for you and your new family!! And thank you for that beautiful story, as I sit here at my desk sobbing :sad: ...good thing my co worker keeps a box of tissues handy.... I'm so happy that things turned out positive and that even though it wasn't what you…

Belinda, I've had the girls name picked out since I was 8 yrs old. My husband and I both agreed on a middle name and that was that. Then we found out we were having a boy. :smooched: We agreed on the first name within a day, but haven't agreed for the middle name- yet. I have a page in my notebook with names that we both…

Antibiotics- no problem. We take them all the time when we're sick. Your doing great! :flowerforyou:
