re: TTC Grads hang here

i know i can get a nursing tank top at target - i'm thinking i'm just going to look for some comfy pants and buy the top...just remembered about that...having hard core short term memory loss 

Quoting purplebaby1216:“ I have not been able to find "Nursing tops" in a 3x so I just plan on lifting the shirts I am wearing ... [snip!] ... provides those for you so you might watnt to check with yours. Other then that, I don't know who carries them year round.”

Target has great grippy slippers!!!

Quoting MydnightMom:“ Courtney, you'll be alright sweety. Your sweet baby will be in your arms within the next 5 days is my prediction, and I think Kim's will be here tonight or tomorrow.”

Oh how I love you Mydnight, you're sooooo sweet!!!

Quoting MydnightMom:“ Angella, glad to hear the good news! Keep it up girl! Courtney, you'll be alright sweety. Your sweet ... [snip!] ... already passed 6 pounds now   And mommy found about 4 more pairs of jeans and several more tops she can wear again! WOOHOO!”

Woo hoo for skinny girl clothes! I can't wait to wear mine again!

Quoting ILoveMyFF:“ Target has great grippy slippers!!!”

hitting target tomorrow! i'm just hoping to find grippy socks instead of the grippy slippers - (grippy slippers...kind of an oxymoron huh) but you know what i mean...i'll probably get a pair regardless we shall see

Quoting beandis ~ jess:“ angella - congrats on the levels!!! that's awesome that your doc even emailed you a congrats! mydnight ... [snip!] ... will give that baby easy access to you girls...what are you going to do, just hide him in your shirt???"...YES MOM I AM!!! lol”

Hey Jess, try out Target for the grippy socks. You can get them from the hospital, though, and those are free. I got a nursing nightgown from Motherhood, it's cute and it came with a onsie, I also got a nursing pajama set. I can even wear them now and they fit! They are very cool and comfy! The two links below are the ones I got.

Angella, they even have pajamas and nursing tops for plus sized mommies. There may be something you have been looking for!

They are in the sock section... They have socks and slippers. The slippers are just socks that look like shoes, super cute and soft!!

If you look at the Motherhood Nursing section and then sort by size, you will see that they only carry small thru x-large. I need a 3x. Even when I wasn't pregnant, I maybe could get away with a 2x but not usually. In the "Maternity" section they have plenty of 3x clothing but not that is designed for nursing.

I have 2 nursing tanks and I love them I live in them!

Jess.. if you have a hard time finding socks.. make them   I made Jaden some out of regular comfy socks and puff paint. Just dont layer it on all thick. That way you can have your very own socks... hehehe you can right Kogans (sp?) mommy on them   I think it would be cute and the nurses would get a kick out of it!

just thought I would catch up before I try to sleep. night ladies  

How are all you ladies doing?
All of you ladies who have recently posted baby pictures, they're all adorable (too many to say it to you individually though, since I haven't been on in a while)

a little update
Alexandra is doing great, although she was diagnosed with acid reflux last week. We have to give her reglan four times a day now. She is 13 lbs 2 oz and 26 inches long, she'll be four months old in 2 weeks!
She's still in 0-3 month clothes, the pants still fall off of her so she's in newborn size pants, unless they're old navy kind, then she can fit into 0-3m. Altough the newborn pants are more like capris or high waters on her now, lol.
She still drowns in the 0-3 month onsies, but newborn is getting tighter on her.
She's in size 1 diapers, I'm still overlapping the tape.
She's such a skinny baby, but at least she is getting a lotof use out of her smaller clothes, which we had gotten tons of.
She babbles a lot, has lots of conversations with us. She can stand with my support, sits with barely any support, she can hold her own bottle for a minute or two, she's really trying to roll over and sit up on her own.
She's on rice cereal and has been for the past week, she loves it. I gave her some diluted apple prune juice today and she loved it as well (her poop is pebble-like and hard, poor thing) I'm going to try oatmeal next week probably since she's done well with the rice cereal. Her 4 month appt is on june 6th, I'll try baby food then if the doctor ok's it.

here is some pictures



I love my carseat!



It's like camo for my bed, lol
