GTKY: CBH Style

Yeah, I like putting the cart before the horse on a constant basis.  So let's get to know some parenting styles and other things you may have thought about...

1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay?

2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand?

3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food)

4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare?

5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay?

6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?

7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?

8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?

9. Any other CBH things you would like to add?

Re: GTKY: CBH Style

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? I want to try and be good about NOT co-sleeping. 1 our cat sleeps on our feet, 2 DH rolls ALOT, 3, it's just a something I don't want our child getting used to at all.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? Yes 110% yes

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) No, we will be using baby food.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? I'd love to SAH but I just don't think that is going to happen for more than 3 -4 months unfortunately.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? Hand sanitizer will probably be in my diaper bag but I'm not crazy about using it a lot.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? I think I will. I have a feeling I won't be able to control myself from eating junk. I REEAALLLY want to be active and healthy but that means DH needs to help me stay that way and he can never say no to me.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? We have a bunch of hand me down toys, sippy cups, a few outfits and baby books.

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add? DH talk about our parenting style ALLLL the time. I am big believer that the child cannot rule the parent. My nephews RULE my SIL & BIL it's ridiculous in my eyes. The kids get anything and everything they want even if they throw a huge fit or have been misbehaving. There is no discipline or rules.

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? 
    Not a fan, but there will be times it will happen

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? 
    I love the idea of being surprised, but I know I will find out. 

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) 
    I want to make my own baby food

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare?
    Love to stay at home, but know I won't be able to 

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay?
    I'll at least have hand sanitizer

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?
    Too many to name! 

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?
    Yes, PCOS and insulin resistance will make it something to keep control of

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?
    I work for a donation center so my friends give me clothes to donate from time to time, I've kept a two things for a baby. 

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add?
    Can't think of anything.

    1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? No. I could see taking a nap with the kid, maybe, but no co-sleeping on a regular basis. It scares me.
     
    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? Absolutely. ETA: if we have one of each, then any future children beyond that, I *might* be willing to go team green on

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) Can't say until I'm there. I imagine we'll use some purees, but who knows
    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? SAH

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? No. I'll make them wash their hands, but some level of germiness is good.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?image
    (1 Sam 1:27 - "For this child I prayed...")

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? Probably. Because I'm already overweight and when I don't feel good, I eat whatever sounds good. So if I have any amount of nausea while pregnant, i'll eat whatever I can stomach. Hopefully it'll be lettuce and strawberries, but it very well could be mac and cheese for days.
     
    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? Just two sets of empty arms, waiting to hold him/her.

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add?

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? No thanks.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? H does, but I am 75% toward not finding out.  So we likely will.

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food)  I may give it a shot.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare?  Hoping to stay home for the first 3 months, then baby will go to daycare.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay?  Germs are okay to me.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?  Because I'm a cheapass.  List of Freebies for baby.

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?  Honestly, yes.  I'm really afraid that I will get back to my "fat girl" weight.  I never want to see that number on the scale, and if I start getting closer to it then I may need the MW to not let me see what I weigh.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?  Haha. Way too much.  A few onsies, boppy, sling, cloth diapers, hangers, a few bibs, nursing cover, and a big bag of maternity clothes.

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add?  I'm probably a crazy CBH lady.  There are pins with what jogging stroller I want, I already have in my mind everything I want to get beforehand, and I have more baby crap in my attic than the norm.  All I need is the dang baby.

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? Is this baby in the bed? If so, only as a last resort. I'd be too paranoid I'd squish the baby!

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? I go back and forth with this. DH and I have decided that we'll decide this when we have something to decide.

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) No idea.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? I want to stay at home. That is the dream, the reality not so much. I'm hoping we can mix daycare with grandparent sitting to save $$$$$.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? I think I'll have them, but not like a crazy person. 

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins? baby Mickey mouse - someone needs to make this!!

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? I don't know. I don't want my future baby to not be able to sleep on their own but selfishly, when BF, it would probably be easier for me to just have them co-sleep.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? Yes for sure but I also want to do a gender reveal. Not a big obnoxious party, mostly just a small sweet thing for us and for immediate family.

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) I really like this and will try it.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? Both Tom and I love working too much for either of us to SAH. That being said, once I have a baby it will probably be my sister watching baby for one day/Tom's mom watching baby for one day/me working from home one day/and then DC the rest.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? Nope. I mean, obviously wash your hands before you touch my baby and don't come around if you're sick but I'm not nutty like that. 

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins? It's not secret! Although I don't share my future baby pins on FB. These are some of my faves:

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? Well I hope not since I'm already overweight. Probably not, though, I mean, not anything over normal.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? I have a little yellow onesie that I bought when we first started trying that's just been sitting there unused. I refuse to get anything else.

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add? I will probably spend alllllllll my money on adorable outfits.

    Haha.  That's H's argument too.  His comment is that I'm way too OCD to not know the sex.  But I like surprises, and want to be surprised. 

    My OCD/planner personality will likely override and we'll find out, but until then I'm still putting up a fight about not wanting to find out.

    1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? Nay.  I have no doubt in my mind that the amount of blankets that I have to use to sleep is not every going to be good to add a child into. 


    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand?Yes, we'll find out.


    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) It's something I'm interested in doing, but I haven't really read too much on it, except what I've learned here. 


    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? Our child will definitely be in daycare. 


    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? Germs are definitely a necessary evil. 


    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins? 
    I bought this a couple of weeks ago. And I'd love to use the expedit like this

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? I hope to not gain much, since I'm starting out in the obese range. 

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?
    Yep. I've got a few tubs of clothes, an Ergobaby carrier, some blankets, stuffed toys, a SkipHop diaper bag and a few other odds and ends that I might be able to use. Up until about 2 years ago, I would go crazy on baby clearance at Target/Walmart, etc. I never spent more than $5 on any item though. Bargain shopper!

    I firmly believe that you should never say never, but here is my general thoughts.

    1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? Nay. Just not worth the risk and anxiety IMO (just to clarify I vote nay for bed-sharing, but yay for room-sharing.)

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? Definitely

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) Nay. Nothing wrong with it, but just not for me.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? I would like part time. I would prefer a center to a home daycare or a nanny

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? I'm not a germaphobe

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?
    An idea for old baby clothes:
    Quilt idea from old baby clothes
    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? I'm sure that I will gain more than I'm hoping.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? I have a lot

    I could hold you for a million years
    To make you feel my love.

    1. Co-sleeping: Yay or Nay? Nay. Consider I accidentally kicked my dog off the bed this morning, I'm thinking its a bad idea.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? Yes! I am so impatient!

    3. Baby Led-Weaning: Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) I wanted to do it with B, but he had some developmental delays and the therapist encouraged not to do it. But I hope to with future children.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? Daycare

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer, Lysol, and wipes. Or are germs okay? All about the germs.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins? I haven't been on Pinterest in forever.

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy? If so, why? I had issues and probably will for any future pregnancies.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add? I think about names ALLllllll the time.

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay?  Big negative. I toss and turn like a mofo, so that would not make the bed a hospitable environment for baby.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand?  Team Green.

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food)  I hadn't really looked into it too much and just always assumed I'd be making my own purees. We tried it, and the kiddo was icked out by getting his hands wet/slimy, so it just wasn't for us.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare?  Part time SAH, with MIL as our daycare, since it's not really in our budget.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay?    Nope. Germs are good for you.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?  I also haven't been on Pinterest in ages, but I had pinned several Star Wars and Harry Potter onesies that I'd like to recreate.

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?  I had hoped not, and tried not to worry about it too much.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?  I had just a handful of onesies and nothing else.

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add?  Both H and I had names picked out years ago. He had a girls name in mind, and I had the boys.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand?  Yup, I'm too impatient to wait.
    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food)  Probably not, though I'd like to make some of my own purees.
    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare?  Daycare - I love my job, and could probably never be a SAHM.
    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay?    I carry hand sanitizer, but don't have any big germ issues.
    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?  I also haven't been on Pinterest in forever.

Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?  I did the first time around, and probably would with a second pregnancy.  I lost about 60 pounds when I was 24-25 (so about 7 years ago), and constantly watch my diet/calories to maintain.  So gaining weight is hard, mentally.
    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? I had absolutely nothing before I got pregnant with Z.
    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add?  Nope!

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? I was way too paranoid for this and I don't see myself ever attempting it in the future.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? Team Green is a total no-go!

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) I never had a strong opinion on this and we ended up with a whatever approach to food.  A eats everything now.  If I have another baby with a different temperament I might try something different.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? Daycare

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? I am always prepared but I am not a germophobe

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?

    Father and son, fist bump how adorable!!

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? Gah. I gained 60 pounds and I hope it won't be that bad if I get pregnant again.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? I did not buy anything before getting pregnant.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? OH yeah

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) nay

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? Daycare. I like my job and my benefits

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? Most little kid germs are just fine, out in the general public, hand sanitizer and wipes all the way
     
    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins? I dont have one. Im too paranoid. Plus, I refuse to let myself think I will actually have a second child. I cant get my hopes up. All bad things happen to me

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why? Yeah Im sure but thats only because Im not happy with my weight now as it is.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? a lot but thats due to my mothers slick storage skills. She saved everything from DS. But considering hes almost 12....a lot will have to be replaced.

    9. Any other CBH things you would like to add? Nope. Im kinda bitter today. Due to curcumstances not expected, we totally missed out FW this month.
  • ------PR/BR------


    1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay?
    -Yes, we always knew she would sleep in our room (in her RnP or PnP) for at least the first few months, but we ended up bedsharing and she still sleeps like that now at 7 months. It works for us. I feel very safe with her next to me.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand?
    -Yes, and I want to find out for #2 also. I thought about being team green but DH is adamantly against it. Lol

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food)
    -We do a mix of purees and BLW. Depends on what type of food it is.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare?
    -SAH until they get into school, then I'll find a job.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay?
    -I wipe down cart handles, but that's because she tries to eat them. Otherwise I'm not really a germaphobe. I just try to avoid sick people.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?
    -I have a pinterest account, but I don't really know how to use it. Lol

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?
    -I was really worried I would gain 60lbs like my mom and MIL did, but even with eating all the crap I wanted I only gained just over 30.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby?
    -I had a bunch of clothes that I had been given, and a few toys. Most of it was boy stuff though, so that went to my cousin.

  • 1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? Co-sleep yes, bedshare probably not

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand? I like the idea of being team green, but between DH wanting to know and my own impatience/curiosity, we will probably end up finding out.

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food) I haven't thought about it much, but it's a definite possibility

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? We have jobs where we can probably manage to work from home enough not to have to do either.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? I don't worry much about germs with kids. I keep wipes around, but I use them more so that the kid doesn't get things dirty than the other way around.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins? I barely use Pinterest, nothing BR on there

    7. Do you think you will have an issue with the weight gain during pregnancy?  If so, why?  Quite possibly, but I just want to be healthy and have a healthy kid. I'll have to keep telling myself that.

    8. Is there anything you already do have for baby? DH and I bought two onesies a few days after our wedding, knowing we wouldn't use them for a long time. One of them lives inside a shadowbox picture frame "baby fund" where we direct friends to donate when they bother us about having kids. We haven't bought anything else.

    1. Co-sleeping:  Yay or Nay? Nay...for the same bed.  I toss and turn, plus I'm a stomach/side sleeper (pregnancy is going to be fun).  I will do same room sleeping until the baby sleeps through the night.

    2. Do you want to find out the sex beforehand?  I'm on the fence.  I feel like we probably would, though, and do a reveal party for family.

    3. Baby Led-Weaning:  Yay or Nay? (not using baby food/purees and going straight to solid food).  I don't know enough about it.

    4. Do you want to SAH or will your child go to daycare? Most likely daycare, although I'd like to be able to stay home for the first 3 months.

    5. Will you be the type of mom equipped with hand sanitizer,  Lysol, and wipes.  Or are germs okay? Germs are a necessary part of life, but I'd be prepared with them.

    6. If you have a secret Pinterest page (or not secret), what's one of your favorite baby pins?
