Re: tell me the must haves

My list: boppy, nipple shields (for use in the beginning), and cloth diapers for burp rags.  That's all I need 99% of the time.  I think you should also have a pump and probably some breastmilk storage bags.  Occasionally I've used the lanolin cream as well.  I think that's about it!

Re: What a difference a twin makes!

  Ditto!  My boys are 3 and 5 and argue over everything.

Re: showing early, but having a girl?

I showed earlier with each pregnancy.  #2 (boy) was a lot sooner than #1 (boy), and #3 (girl) was faster than both of them!

Re: Do you pick names before conceiving? Is it hard to name your desired gender?

Yes, we always picked names before conceiving.  I had my girl's name (Megan) picked out since I was a kid.  DH had a boy name picked out for years, too.  So DS2 was the only difficult one to name. Side note- my DH's dad has the same names as your family names- his name is Robert Allen. [;)]

Re: Why am I doing this to myself???

Yes, I felt the same way!  I have 2 boys, and was told multiple times that #3 was a girl.  It wasn't until hearing "it's a girl" at 4 different ultrasounds that I really believed it. [:$] I bought girl clothes after the 1st time, but refused to cut off the tags or decorate her room until hearing it multiple times.  What didn't help was that in all my ultrasounds, I never got ONE gen...

I haven't dealt with this, but I've heard of it.  Here's a link that may help. http://www.kellymom.com/bf/normal/reverse-cycling.html GL!

Re: For those with a pink caboose..

LOL- I know the feeling!  She had one teal (with pink flowers) newborn sleeper that I put on her kind of reluctantly.  I've only ever bought 1 blue thing for her, it was a really cute sundress that was blue with red cherries on it.  She started wearing that around 6 months.  I got her ears pierced at 5.5 months, and that has helped her look like a girl regardless of what she we...

How exciting!!  Congratulations! [:-)]

Re: Do you think this name is pretty?

Yes, I love it!  If I had 2 girls, that would've been my 2nd girl's name.  I love how it can be cute for a kid (Katie), I love the nn Kate, and Kathryn just sounds so elegant to me! [:)] I'm sorry your grandma passed away. [HH] Last year, I got my BFP the day before my grandpa's funeral.

Re: FB comment got my wondering.... What do you call your MIL?

I call her by her first name.  I love her just as much as my own mom, but it would seem odd to call her Mom.

Re: She's here!

Congratulations on your little girl!! [DD] Your family reminds me so much of mine- last year my boys were 4 1/2 and 2 years 4 months when their sister Megan was born!  Enjoy this time! [:)]

Re: Any extended nursers out there?

  I think she meant that the AAP recommends nothing but breastmilk for the first 6 months- not that you should stop at 6 months!

Re: Breastfeeding and AF

Mine has always came back while still BFing.  With my 1st it came at 6.5 months, with my 2nd it came at 12 months, and with my 3rd it hasn't come back and I'm still BFing (she's 11 months).

Re: 911 - Desperate to know Gender - New Ultrasound 14 Weeks

I have 2 boys too, then with #3 I got a picture EXACTLY like this at 14 weeks and she's now an 11 month old girl! [:-)] It looks very promising for you!!

Re: Do you all think it's okay to post other people's nubs for guesses??

If ALL of the identifying info is taken off, I don't see the harm in it.  I once posted my brother's baby's nub pic on here to get guesses.  It was totally cropped though, so all that was in the pic was the baby.  Personally I think that's okay.  I'm sorry you were hurt though by your friend doing that. [:(]
