March mommies to be....

How are we doing ladies... I have had it at this point. I pulled my hip ligament out last week- the one that usually separates for delivery- so I've been on bed rest and soooo ready for that to be over. Doing better but still trouble walking. At this point my entire body aches, and I'm ready for March to come but still have so much to do:

Pick a pediatrician
Pack my bag- started at least
Birthing classes- next month
Wash some of the clothes we have gotten so far
And i'm sure i'm forgetting a million things

Re: March mommies to be....

It does hurt tons.. but DH has been really great about it taking care of me.
I think my shower might not be till later on.. almost delivery time for me which I'm not happy with, but today I got out a little and bought some things just to make myself feel better
It's hard to believe that in less then 2 months our little ones will be here!

Re: March mommies to be....

rest now while you can becuase after the baby comes you will need your sleep.

have all clothes washed, baby room done

need to buy wipes, diapers
pack my bag and thats it!

im 3o weeks

Re: March mommies to be....

I've been doing pretty good. I still have horrible heartburn/reflux but i'm starting to get used to it. I get uncomfortable trying to sleep now also.

I haven't really done a thing yet...except order furniture and bedding. I don't even have a name yet...I need to get a move on it.

Re: March mommies to be....

Ooooh that sounds painful!! Take care of yourself!

Baby and I are doing well. Will start week 31 on Thursday. Last doctors visit (last Friday) I was up 34 lbs and baby still wants to be breach. "Plenty of time" they assure me for him or her to get it right.

So far we have picked a pediatrician, started child birth classes, finished registering, invites for Feb 16 baby shower have been sent, and that's about it so far. Haven't set up nursery, haven't packed anything, no idea what this baby will wear to come home in... and I am sure I am missing a ton more of "have not done yet". Time is really starting to fly by now! I can't believe it!

Re: March mommies to be....

Still feeling pretty good! (Gotten used to the tailbone pain, so that's a constant given)

We started classes last week. I have OB appointmen tomorrow (32wk)

I feel like I have not done anything though! I plan to get the following done within the next 2 weeks.
pack (but started to gather stuff)
contact pediatrician to meet them..
install have have seat checked.
Still need a ton of baby stuff!!!!

Re: March mommies to be....

I am so sorry your in pain. hang in there. I am doing ok.. getting a little tired since sleep in a challenge. going to gym 2-3 times a week still. (so tiring) I get cramps/contractions throughout the night. Room is no where near done. no bag packed. no clothes yet either. DH was busy planning WOTY on LIW. He promisses to get going with the room first weekend in FEB. I think someone might be having a shower for me. If not soon I will go and get some things. I have four birthing classes left still and need to decide on a doula. I will call pediatrition tomorrow (thanks for the reminder) And the weeks are flying by. 7 weeks or less to go

Re: March mommies to be....

Ouch Tiffany - that sounds painful, take it easy!

OK, bag is packed
Ped not picked yet, but have numbers thanks to the girls on Parenting board!
We have furniture
DH decorating nursery this week
I can't really do too much as I am on the Trembutaline and still having contractions, have growth sono & check up tomorrow to see if I have gone any further from the 2cm I am dilated already.

Re: March mommies to be....

Going back to PT today let's hope for a change... plus i'm so excited I finally got some things yesterday for the baby, my mom took me out yesterday to get me out of the house (in a wheelchair, ughh).
I cannot believe in less then 2 months I will have someone that is so small that they can fit into these tiny little outfits!

Re: March mommies to be....

I am doing pretty good as well. Definetly tired, Cant sleep like I used to. I think my shower will be in a couple weeks. I cant wait for it!! Once that is done then I will have more things to take care of: Washing the clothes, setting up the baby furniture. I have an appointment with a pediatrician next week and have already went to a labor and delivery class which was helpful. I still have not packed my bag yet.. I'm going to wait a few weeks for that.

I cant believe it's almost here!! Good luck Ladies!!

Re: March mommies to be....

Hello Ladies!!!

I'm feeling very tired but I slept more than I have in months last night

I had my shower on Sunday, which was great, we received so many gifts...we feel so loved and blessed.

DH emptied out our daughter's room, took all her furniture to her mother's and going to start the painting process. We received our dresser/changing table so its sitting in our living room for now.

I have to start making a list of things to pack and start getting them, I received a robe, slippers, lip balm, lanoln crean, breast pads and baby's take home out fit for Christmas and at the baby shower.

I start childbirth classes on Feb 12 and I signed up for breast feeding seminar at Babies r us on Feb 5th.

I think that's it...how many of you feel this is going way tooooooo fast!!!!!!!!!

Re: March mommies to be....

Hi March Momma's!


Everyone sounds like you do in the third tri~! Tired and READY
I'm 31 weeks and measuring 32 as of today. Tired all the time, but getting things done. Still throwing up daily and my hips/back are killing me. Heartburn has acted up these past few weeks. Ah fun! i'm so stretch, I'm ready. Spoke to my mid wife ttoday about induction and we will revisit it at 36 weeks. I go every 2 weeks now

I had to get my Daughters room done first, then the guestroom (which are both completed as of this weekend). The furniture is in the baby's room, clothes hung up and I'm getting organized. We need to paint and decorate. I just have to get diapers, wipes, baby wash-get things in order. Wash all the clothes and clean/wash the swing/bouncy seat and strollers.

Other than that we are waiting!!!!! Already have a ped., don't need classes.... So I think we are on target.

Re: March mommies to be....

hi all:

I feel like i'm not ready at all. We had an emergency vist to L&D last week and I totally freaked out b/c I have nothing - just 1 outfit for the baby.

My shower is in late feb
No pediatrician selected yet - have to see who is covered under our policy.
I have a wierd cramp in my groin area that comes and goes. Its hard to walk when I have it.
I also have a rash from wearing too tight undies. I'm in denial about the size of my a$$.
Heartburn is pretty constant…
Sleep is a blessing when I can actually get into a comfortable position and not wake up coughing from heartburn
I snore now (never did before) and it drives DH crazy

Room is painted and waiting for furniture from Behrs. Hope it gets here soon!

Childbirth classes at WInthrop Start Jan 31.

Child Care class on Feb 27th.

Interested in taking CPR and breastfeeding classes, but still deciding

Day care selected and deposit put in place for July start.

Working on finding a maternity leave replacement at work.
