We were expecting a very long night but she arrived before dinner time! I was pleasantly surprised that I was offered a wide assortment of things besides ice chips during labor, though. Nothing like a cheeseburger & fries, but I was allowed basically any liquid I wanted including juices, popsicles, and chicken broth. Saving Up For Baby - Blog Entry22 Nov 2009 09:46 AM If you live near a company that makes baby products, look into doing product testing to save big time! Proctor & Gamble does a lot of diaper testing. If you can get signed up to do the tests, you get free diapers (the ones you are testing) plus get money or more free diapers when finished! They do these tests frequently, so it's a great way to save if you can find companies looking for guinea pigs! What Type of Man Do You Want? - Blog Entry27 Oct 2009 05:21 PM I love it when men are gentlemen. If a man opens a door for you, it isn't because he doesn't think you are capable of doing it yourself... it's because he's trying to be nice to you! So smile and say thanks! Social Networking and Birth Announcements - Blog Entry25 Oct 2009 04:46 AM Our hospital blocked Facebook (I know, crazy right???) so our FB announcement ended up being a bit delayed. But we definitely went the digital route with announcing our new arrival. After the phone calls to close relatives, an email was sent out to other friends and family. And the next day when my hubby went home he made sure Facebook got updated as well for anyone else. We opted not to do traditional paper announcements since, like you pointed out, everyone already knew! Unusual (but Good!) Advice for Pregnant Women - Blog Entry23 Oct 2009 04:56 AM Interesting tip on the protein to fight morning sickness. I've never heard that before! Thankfully I didn't have much nausea during my first pregnancy, but I will keep this in mind for the future. Pregnant Buddies - Blog Entry14 Oct 2009 05:17 AM I'm hoping my next pregnancy will line up with my sister-in-law's next. You are right, it is a lot of fun to be pregnant with a friend or family member! However, there are some downsides to it. If you are pregnant at the same time, you can't as easily lend eachother maternity & baby clothes. And if one of you were to lose the baby it could cause some difficulties in the relationship. During my first pregnancy, a friend was due about 6 weeks after me and she sadly lost her baby at 20 weeks. I had a hard time knowing how to respond, feeling as though my growing belly would be a constant reminder of her loss. So I suppose being pregnant with someone else has its pros & cons. But like you said, it's all up to God's timing anyway! Flu Shots for Babies - Blog Entry08 Oct 2009 06:04 PM Thanks for posting this. I have been debating whether or not to get the flu shot for my daughter. This insight has helped. Thank you! How Discontinuing Birth Control Affects Your Body - Blog Entry29 Sep 2009 05:12 AM Before TTC, I had talked with my doctor and she told me that I could feel free to start trying immediately after stopping the pill. So that's what we did. I also had no idea what kind of reaction my body would have to the change. The biggest response that had me thinking I was pregnant was how sore my breasts felt. I ended up getting pretty high hopes that first month and was rather disappointed when I tested negative for pregnancy. The following month I was less hopeful regarding any "symptoms" I felt... but lo and behold, I did indeed conceive that month! Tips for Taking that Perfect Photo: Art of Distraction - Blog Entry28 Sep 2009 05:32 AM Usually my husband and I are both involved when we take our daughter's monthly pictures, but due to his work schedule I had to fly solo this month. Much much harder to do! One thing that I've learned for next time is that it's probably a good idea to make "new toy day" the same as "picture day." My daughter very quickly gets bored of her toys, but if I can get her something new it's much more likely that I can get her to smile and laugh at it! Big Baby! - Blog Entry26 Sep 2009 04:40 AM My baby girl weighed 7lb 9.9oz (why they included the .9 I'll never know!) |
