Such a good idea! Thanks!

WalMart and Babies R Us! (My walmart didn't actually carry one, and I needed it for a shower...but I was able to order it using their site-to-store so it was delivered to the store for free, so I picked it up there!)

ETA- don't worry about getting an extra cover...I just layed down a receiving blanket to keep mine clean. Then, you only need to wash it occasionally. Taking off the cover and then putting it back on after washing is a big PITA since it is shaped so oddly!

Good morning. Wanted to say happy mothers day to al!!

Good morning ladies....I just want to crawl right back into bed...but it's off to work I go...thank goodness today is my "friday" I'm looking forward to two days off. Ugh. Have a good one ladies!

...Mother's Day is tomorrow, ladies.

All three, you never do find all you want at one place. Also, I have some relatives that have Wal Mart and not Target, or vice versa. You can also find a lot more on there websites. The stores are localized, so frequently do not have a lot of things the same store say two towns over will. I don't think Target will, but Wal Mart and Babies R Us will ship most items to the store of your choice for free.

I'm 15 weeks today!! my belly is looking quite pregnant. i went to get my eyebrows waxed and the girl at the salon started touching my belly. most people would find that annoying but i was just happy to know that my belly doesnt resemble a beer belly anymore, it looks like its carrying a baby. I was in the grocery store the other night and this random old guy asked how far along i was and told me good luck. i bet in a couple of months i will be sick of hearing these things but for now i think they are great! i was shopping for mothers day cards and i noticed a section for "mothers to be." i got all emotional since this is my first and i still can't imagine a little person calling me 'mom.' anyway, Happy mother's day ladies!  

Happy day b-4 Mother's day everyone!  
Hi, I'm new here.  I didn't realized there was another November thread.  I'm 11 wks today! This will be my first baby but had early miscarriages twice.  Thanks for the must have recommendations ladies.  I'm waiting till after I get past the first trimester to really delve into planning and such but I'm mentally filing references to look at when I cross that path.

Happy mothers day all!
And to all those first time mommies. I can not wait until you hear your first coos. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

I never got sick of people touching my baby belly, or asking me questions! I figured this (pregnancy itself) doesn't happen too often so I was going to enjoy every minute of it! Plus, when I was preggo before, we didn't know if we would have another one, so I tried to enjoy it even more since it could have been my one and only chance being pregnant. Now...this time around we KNOW this is our last child, so I am trying to stay "in the moment" and enjoy each part! Soon enough the baby will be here and 99% of the attention will be on them....so soak it all up now while you can!

Remember to stay "in the moment" when they are born! Those little baby days pass too quickly! Try to enjoy each stage, since they pass so fast. (Now...when you are IN the stage, it can FEEL like forever...but really you turn around and they are a year old!)

I'm 11 weeks today, too! We are due date buddies =) YAY!

Happy Mother's Day everyone. Enjoy and relax as much as you can, lol.

Happy Mother's Day everyone...I am 15 weeks and one day. I felt the baby move one time last week, but it still doesnt seem real to me. I keep thinking: I only have 25 more weeks to get ready for this little person, but what if its just my imagination... Ive had my first sonogram, and I heard the heartbeat, but I just dont feel like Im pregnant yet. I guess its just my day to have doubts. But to all the brand new first time mommies, happy first mothers day! Spoil yourselves today, you deserve it...
