So, yes I still don't know when I'm officially due...weird right?? Every time I try to make my Dr. nail down a date, he says things like "well we have plenty of time to figure that out"...ugh!! To his defense I am seeing another Dr. down in Charlotte and I think they don't 100% agree on my due date, so I'm still unsure of the exact date. There is a 10 day difference in the two dates I've been given, the one going off of my period would be May 15th, and going off the ultrasound would be May 22nd. For right now I've just kinda been going off the 22nd date because I would rather be surprised and deliver 10 days earlier than be ready and go 10 days later!! So if I go off of that date I am 22 weeks, and will be 23 on Saturday!! Alright enough with this craziness, let's get on with the good stuff ;)
Weight gain-it's official the Dr. says I've gained 3 pounds and he would like me to eat more...um okay Doc!! He says he's "concerned" with the lack of weight I gained, I told him and I quote "Well I usually only gain around 15-20 pounds, so throw a 6 pound baby in there, fluid and a placenta and I think we're good" he gave me a blank stare and told me to eat more!!
Names-I'm so stumped on this one, I could rattle off boy names I love all day, but when it comes to girl names I'm lost!! I'm starting to get concerned a little bit, am I not going to fall in love with a girl name and have to just settle on something!!
Baby-I would say that this baby seems so quiet, but in ultrasound she's moving around like crazy!! I feel like I only feel her moving a few time a day, well I should say that a few times I day I notice that she's being active. I'm hoping that I'm just still early yet or if she's a quiet baby I'm good with that too!! When I lie down on my back, you can grab my uterus, it's so gross it looks like a ball with some skin covering it...ick!!
Baby stuff-So I went to Babies R Us with Tim last Saturday while my parents were watching the kids, yes I know it's sad that is what we did on our day out!! Anyways I registered while I was there because they'll give you a 15% off coupon to use for everything that wasn't purchased off of your registry and you can use any other coupons you may happen to have!! I was sure on pretty much everything I needed/wanted, I loved my Chicco car seat, and had made up my mind that I would get another one...a pink one of course :) But as I was checking out I saw this Quinny Stroller for $273!! I bought it, I love it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to keep it!! The problem is you can only really use a Maxi Cosi car seat with it, and I really don't want one and the reviews are not so great on them as well!! So now I'm stumped!! I LOVE the Chicco car seat, but never used the stroller after I was done with the infant car seat because it doesn't sit up and Max hated trying to sit in it!! So do I go for this system or stay with the stroller I love and figure out the car seat issue?? PLEASE help me out on this one!!!
Alright I have to run, I'm suppose to be ready in about 30 min's to take Max to a Spanish class and I still need to shower!! Picture of the belly to come very soon I promise!!

Don't get that Chicco car seat- it's to damn heavy. I hate mine. I'm glad I borrowed it and didn't waste my money buying it. Get the stroller you love and get rid of the 15 pound Chicco. You'll only use the carseat for 6-7 months and the stroller you'll use for 2-3 years.
ReplyDeleteI LOVED that Chicco car seat!! What do you think of the Maxi Cosi car seat though??
ReplyDeleteI like the Maxi- from what I saw in the pictures. A lot of carseats seem to be deep, the Chicco for instance. Collin seemed to be down in a hole almost, and it was hard to get him in and out. The Maxi doesn't seem to be too deep and the reviews say it's lightweight. I can't believe people don't think Chicco is heavy! My hubby has a hard time carrying it and Collin is only 17 pounds.
ReplyDeleteThe thing I'm nervous about is that people said it was hard to "click" in!! The Chicco is so easy there, do you use the infant inserts?? Dude I lugged that sucker around until Max was 1!! It is a beast, I always had broken blood vessels on my arms from lugging it :) I'm going to go look at one, but I'm thinking I'm leaning that way now, thanks!!
