Wednesday Randoms/ questions/ links

Okay, I officially got too angry while reading that babycenter thread around this part:

pitocin for broken waters is totally unnecessary and pitocin is a danger to every baby, it destroys their brain's protection and takes away their pain relief in turn making birth a traumatic process for them. this can cause life long issues with attachment, auto immune disorders, even autism. and pushing on your back is also never smart, that is how most "stuck" babies happen and you risk physical birth trauma for your baby as well as more vaginal trauma for yourself.

And I QUIT.

[sake]

people are really idiots.
I feel sorry for them, having to live a life, being so utterly stupid.

That thread was a s/o of this thread:
community.thebump.com/cs/ks/forums/thread/70189648.aspx

Which was a s/o of a 1tri thread. There are some real crazies on July 13.

Is it sad that I don't even have to click on the links to know what you're referring to? You're right, there are some serious BSC nutters on July 2013. I'm half convinced noraeuc isn't even real.

Yea. I posted once on the first page of that post, and then I decided I really couldn't go back. It just got way too weird.

We are not planning on finding out... well, I don't want to me, but the H is totally impatient and I know if he knows, I will know We are planning on doing a teal/tan nursery. I really want the whole team green thing to stick since I would rather pick out the clothes myself for the baby. I noticed that my sister recevied ton's of clothes as gifts and not a ton of stuff she actually needed. In the end her kids didn't even wear most of the close!

We aren't planning on finding out. I was leaning that way with my 1st pregnancy, but H felt more strongly about it so I left it up to him. Then, he got to tell me when the baby was born whether it was a boy or a girl. I don't think I'll ever forget his voice when he said 'it's a boy.'
And, some of you are making me feel broken. I'm not decorating a nursery, and didn't really for my son, either. I mean, I bought a crib, and I put cheap plain white sheets in it. I used a spare dresser and a glider we had in a different room. I'll do the same for this kid. I figure when he's 6 or 7 we'll let him pick a paint color and do a decorated room then. Ha, I'm either broken or cheap, one of the two!

I don't think there's anything wrong with not doing a lot in a nursery. I painted ours teal, and was like "well, hope he likes teal when he's little, bc this isn't getting painted again until he's old enough to do a lot of it himself!"
H lived his WHOLE life until he went to college, in a room with pink flowered wallpaper. and he is totally normal. a room is a room, it doesn't really matter that much what it looks like.

Wasn't that the greatest moment?

I ended up having a c-section after 30 hours of induced labour, and the dr doing the c-section didn't know we didn't know what kind of baby it was. He said, oh, they don't know what it is? Here, take a look! And my husband went and took pictures and said it was a boy and it was so, so cool.

And then he came and whispered in my ear that he had gray eyes so for sure his name was supposed to be Grayson. (we had a few name alternatives.)

I have a feeling the next nine months is going to consist of a lot of throwdowns between etoille and Jellybean.

[countthestars]

We aren't finding out. I hope to go with a hot air balloon theme with light blue walls. I figure light blue is okay for little girls and I can incorporate pink once she's born if it is a girl.

[iheartvino]

I think we want to go with something like this:





or



We will be painting the room, because all of the rooms in our house are currently white, so we need to paint anyway. But we won't be doing anything super elaborate that can't grow with the child.

[callie]

We don't plan on finding out beforehand.

Still trying to decide on colors for the nursery, right now I'm thinking yellow and red. Don't think we'll have a particular theme.

[underwaterrhymes]

We already know we're having a boy.

We're doing espresso colored furniture in his nursery, and are also doing a travel theme in aqua, gray, lime green, and yellow. (The walls are already yellow. Since we rent, we knew whatever we did had to work with that.)

I'm pretty excited about how it's turning out. I made a vintage suitcase table, and we bought a wicker elephant hamper, and an aviator teddy bear. I'm also doing arrow signs (you know - the ones that say X CITY - X MILES?) with the grandparents' respective cities on them (as well as my sister's new locale, since it's a cool one.) We have found some really cute stuff on Etsy, too (including an "Oh the Places You'll Go" sign). We'll also do a world map mural behind the crib.

I'm really excited that it's all coming together.

I love looking at all the pics! We are not finding out the baby's sex, se I am kinda torn on what to do. We have a 3 bedroom house, but Gregory's room is way bigger than the other room which is our guest room and has our computer desk in it. I figure they will share, even if this one is a girl, at least while they are young, but I don't really want to put a G's room. Baby will be in our room in the PnP for a few months, but I am sure I will want to move him/her before I am ready for them to share. So...I think I am going to put the crib in the guestroom and make it kinda nurseryish. It has light blue walls, so I am thinking we can be lazy and not repaint and make it oceany. My MIL can sew curtains and a dust ruffle (she made G' jungle ones) and ill just buy sheets to go.

BUT I would love to have a Dr Seuss theme! I could frame dust jackets from my fav books, and my bff found an awesome quote that would look soooo cute.

Decisions, decisions

[joolz]

Nanda, is G still in his crib? What are you planning to do about that? I'm asking selfishly even though I know he's older than my G, I'm already worried about transitioning.
