Hi all. I thought I would start a new thread for this month as we seem to be posting on 2 different threads, one from July and another one that wasn't dated so hopefully this will make things easier.
Congrats to Geneve and Leo! Wow, just under 10 lbs. Yikes! If my baby is that big none of the clothes I have got for him will fit. That's okay I haven't really bought that many, just a few sleepers and diaper shirts. Well I'm really glad to hear things went well and that you and baby are both fine. I hope your nipples are better now. The best thing to do that I have heard is to use that cream and otherwise wash with water and let them air dry after nursing. Is the baby latching on properly?
Scully, I know what you mean about wanting to have everything just right for the nursery. I am just getting around now to painting and so on because my DH procrastinated so long about cleaning his junk out of there. I am still fretting over the colour for the walls and I only have 2 of them to paint as the other 2 are wood panelled and we are leaving them as is. I was going to paint with this creamy/yellow paint as I had half a gallon left over from some other project but now I am thinking with all the wood furniture that it needs more of a contrast. I had orginally wanted to go with a mint green but now I don't really want to buy another can of paint when I still have paint. I don't know. I think I have some green paint leftover from something else, if that is still good and not too dark I think I'll use that. Luckily we are not doing any particular theme so I don't have to worry about buying expensive stuff. My mom is making the crib quilt and I am making the curtains so we just have to find some bumper pads that somewhat coordinate. I know what you mean about it somehow sounding all a bit silly in the long run. I mean the baby doesn't give a gosh darn about any of this, it is really for the parents. Also you want it to look nice for anyone that is visiting.
Sara, already 1cm dilated, I am so jealous!!!! I feel so huge, I wish I could deliver today. It is only 3 weeks, 5 days to go, that isn't too early. Anyway by the feel of it this baby is big enough to be fine. Still haven't had that ultrasound, it has been scheduled for Thursday and I have a dr's appt on Friday.
Well take care all, be well.
