re: JOURNAL for the **Official '08 November Mommas** thread

HA wow that is a lot of November babies.

Starting at Roughly 10:30 AM

Page 632

Mama Tee - hit 19 weeks today
also would like advice on her registery: http://www.walmart.com/giftregistry/gr_detail.do?registryId=86181628302

Some advice from Danielle, K8 and Azar and what she's missing

Springtail Bugs- heard of them (eww)

Page 633

What brand of diapers to get? Luvs (Mamma Tee), Pampers (K , costco brand/ huggies (pregnantmama3), Pampers (Azar), Pampers (car-car), Pampers (Danielle)

For people keeping track, that's 4 votes Pampers

Diaper Showers (baby-daddy showers) and getting diapers onto registeries

K8 disappears- is having a 20 people over for a 4th of july cook out thing and has to clean

Page 634 -

Should you plan a guys-only shower and a girls-only shower? That means couples are buying 2 gifts instead of one.

Astraia works on a National holiday (Canada Day) and makes double time and a half @ $43/ hr
Yes, Astraia is Canadian

Page 635

Springtail bugs- not harmful, hard to get rid of. They come out of your drains.

Bugs are vile

Earwigs are the most vile of all

Page 636

Veronica puts a stop to bug talk (or tries at least!)

Proud posts beetle pictures (gross!)

Labour support person- should they know whats happening? Do they just hold your hand, or are they 'educated' in some way

1:13 PM Eastern time (I think? NY time, 3 hrs ahead of California time).

Finishing off my note-taking shift

Page 637

K8 does not approve of bug talk

Labour support- holding legs back, holding hands, cold clothes on forehead

CandiceLeeAnne- labour story

That brings us to a about 2 PM and the next note-taker takes over! I already forgot who it was! Sorry!

Okmy turn to catch up the notes. My shift started at 2pm and on page 638. 

Pg. 638

More talk about labor support and different ways to position for delivery.

Weather or not your DH/SO wants to or should look as the baby is born.

Astraia is says she is retarded b/c she is looking forward to labor.

What is and isn't helpful during labor, such as touching, talking, ect.

Pg.639

More of the same talk as page 638.

k8 is worried about going into labor in the middle of a store with her 3 year old in tow.And who will take care of DD while she is in the hospital. Also she is almost 6 months!!

Marissa's DH wants to get a video camera and record the birth, but she thinks not!

Pg.640

Some hospitals don't allow still or live action photos during delivery, so now Marissa is hoping her's is one of them.

k8 is also worried about not being able to contact anyone if she goes into labor during the day, b/c where most of her family works in a noisy place and can't hear phones!

Everybody can't believe how close they are getting to the 6 month mark, but Azar says she will beat everybody to delivering b/c of her schedualed c-sec.

Marissa is really enjoying here pregnancy so far. As is Astraia. k8 says that is what gets you pregers again!

More confussion about weeks and months of pregnancy

That ends that page.

Pg. 641

Marissa has a feeling she will be a Oct. mommy but will always be a Nov. mommy at heart.

A chart depicting each trimester and it's corrisponding weeks and months. Very helpful for the confused and prego brains!! 

k8 posted a pic ofa really funny shirt and now everyone wants one! She posted a link for it.

Pg. 642

More talk about the shirt and the pregnancy chart.

Astraia is confussed b/c if the chart is right there are only 3 weeks in each 'month' in the second tri. k8 told her it makes sence if she doen't really think about it!lol

k8 also posted a link for pants that look really comfy and will work even PP.

k8 tried to explain to Astraia there really is 4 weeks in each month but that just confussed her more!!

Pg. 643

Astraia finally understands but still says it is confussing!

More talk about cloths.

k8 and Astraia agree it is still confussing to look at pregnancy timelines!!Ugh!

I 'complain' (not really) about how chatty everyone got on my shift for note taking!LOL

AmyG is going to be in Indiana from Wed to Sun and her MIL is buying here travel system for her while she is there!

Watermelon...YUMM!

Pg. 644

Azar used same travel system as Amy and loved it!

More watermelon talk.

*Reminder* from k8- Go to the diaper web sites and register with them so you can get coupons and free samples! Register in your DH/SO's name too and get twice as much!

Talk about "Guess How Much I Love You" books. Those who have them love them.

Some talk about food.

And that ends my turn taking notes(about 1/2 way down pg. 644). Hope it was heplful!

I love this

Ok, I'm irritated as hell now. I spent the last 1/2 hour at least going page by page taking notes and typing them here. Then I get to the last damn page and all my notes erased!!!

SO a quick recap from page 644 - 653. We talked about:

Food
Douche bag DH's/Ex's and labor stories.
Closing Up Shop/Getting The Snip (Histerectomies/Vasectomies)
Pregnancy do's and don'ts
Azar's case working coming
Who's more expensive, boys or girls?
Sucky Doctors
Eye color genes
More food
Maggie B posted U/S pic
Mommy Tressie Lynd Who posted 20 week pic. Also, would like ppl to look at her registry on Walmart.com and Toysrus.com under Tressie Kotar and give advice
Talk about registries/diapers/baby items.
Heather posted prego porn.
and that takes us to where my damn notes somehow disappeared. So I'm gonna post this now before it happens again. Hey, I tried......

I haven't forgotten about you! I'm catching up and DH is home, wants to spend time with me.

Soooooo far behind on the notes!

I'll try to catch us up but it will take time.

I will start taking notes and work my way back. Sorry, that's the only way I'll be able to keep current.

Quoting ~new_mommy~:“ Thanks Den Mother. I still like to go back and re-read everything...am i weird?”

Nah, I would. If I missed a lot (50+ pages) I might just read the journal, but I like to comment, thus the high post count.
