Very bump-like at this point!

Sorry to all the MMMers (is that just catbus or are there more?) but I just XP the same pic from there. Here is the Rock N Play we got used for 40% of retail.

That's a creative way to see things, I didn't think about that!!

[catbus]

Giving his best "doll face" on Easter. He's six months old today! I'll have to do our monthly photo shoot.

our crib went up $100, i can no longer find it for $299 anywhere, except in grey. Looks like this is our crib! And i like it, i bet if I show H this picture, he'll like it too!

[niq]

Man I am going to be such a helicopter parent. I see that pic and think "don't put blankets on the side of crib! Don't leave the toys so close!" Aaaahh!

But it is a pretty cute crib .

also, i don't think parents really do that, do they? put stuff right on top of the crib? our babies  cribs will be next to each other, so they could touch each other if they wanted but nothing else.

Yeah, I don't think most parents would have their crib set up like this pic either.

This is more on the seller or crib mfgr than anybody else. It really bugs me when pics or videos are staged in a way that the product manufacturer themselves warns you not to do.

I guess twins aren't supposed to sleep in the same crib, even as infants? I didn't know that.

[jennlin]

sarack, we had our crib setup all pretty, with blankets on it and stuffed animals inside....but that's cause bjl never actually slept in there. she napped in there maybe 3x's in her life. we left the animals in there. and covered her with a blanket. we're bad parents.

[jennlin]

it's pretty ridiculous how much i'm showing right now. i guess it's true STM's show before FTM's. this is 5 mins ago, 10w1d.

[picksthemusic]

This is from Saturday when we went Easter Egg Hunting.

Also, jennlin, you are showing a lot! WOW! Man, if that's what I'm in for for baby #2, I'll need to be in maternity clothes right away! LOL but OMG so cute! I want to rub your belly!

[jennlin]

and here's bjl from a few days ago. big sister shirt, u/s of her little sibling.

i know, right?! i  kinda *had* to tell my coworkers, since just a few weeks ago, i was still getting compliments on how quickly i lost my weight...and now i've ballooned!! but i checked the scale yesterday, i've only put on 4lbs in the last 2 months.

Does she have a black eye in that picture? What happened? Also, I don't think we heard the story of your announcement! What were your families' reactions?

[Kahala]

Ashley and Jenn, you both make getting knocked up look good!

yes, she has a black eye i posted about it in a confessions post last week or so.... she fell while holding onto her sippy cup.

we told our families a couple weeks ago, and they're very happy, but were confused at first since they didn't understand why she was wearing a big sister shirt. took them like 10 minutes to put two and two together.

[sarack]

jennlin - you look SO PREGNANT!!

niq - they can totally sleep in the same and they probably will for a while, but their cribs will be set up next to each other. i suppose until they start bugging each other, or if one comes home with an apnea (?) machine or other things that take up a lot of room and/are dangerous, then we'll re-evaluate.

With that version, be careful of flat head syndrome by putting a towel under him.

Also, RnPs were 'recalled' in the sense that there are some ongoing mold issues. Be sure to take the fabric part off the top and scrub the plastic base and wash the fabric covering.

Yeah, the previous owner used a towel for extra support, and we definitely won't keep him in there for very long.

I saw something about the recall ... we'll be careful to clean it a lot

OMG I didn't notice any of that. I feel like I'm going to forget about being a mom sometimes....  Oh yeah, shouldn't let a kid stand at the top of the steps by themselves, huh?

16 week ultrasound on Friday - first cervix check which I'm nervous about...if it's too short, that means a cerclage, some time out of the office and possible bed rest and little activity.

Aside from that, when I eat dinner now, I feel like I can't eat very much but I want to explode, I bloat so quickly. And I feel like my belly button is on the verge of popping out. CREEPY!

I've been noticing that mine is getting awfully shallow as well. It's so weird!

this is for me today. ultrasound and first cervix check. i'm super nervous. i've had a ton of pain down there, and sometimes feel like something is tap dancing on my cervix. here's hoping that everything is perfect and it's nice and long.
