Re: Babes with Bumps
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host? My friends are throwing me a blessingway in June. We have rented out a cabin in the woods and we will be having it there and spending the night. I'm SOOOOOOO excited about it. We're even having a Mehendi artist come to put henna on my belly!
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games? Some are fun. The blessingway won't have any games.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have? When I go back to work I will be. I'll be using my Medeal PISA.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat? Spinach! Actually any and all greens, I'm totally loving them right now. Meat hasn't been very appealing during this pregnancy.

I was 35/35 as of this past Wednesday (2 days ago) I had my 35 week heckup yesterday. I also have to go in twice a week for Non Stress Tests and AFI cuz there's a high amount of fluid in the amniotic sac. Luckily, the baby looks good.
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host?
I already had my family baby shower on January 29. My mom, grandma, and MIL hosted it. I'm having my friend shower this Sunday.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games?
I like the game where you try and guess how big the mom to be's tummy is, but it's over played.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have?
I plan on pumping a little, but not for a few months after the baby is born. I'm going to stop working once the baby is born, so I don't need to pump that much. It's only so I can sleep for a few hours straight and DH can help me with a few feedings. Not sure yet about the pump.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat?
I'm eating more fruits and veggies.
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host? I was blessed with two showers, one hosted by my mom and her bff, and one hosted by my SILs.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games? my favorite is the memory matching game where you match candy to pregnancy stuff. Like 'breastfeeding' goes with 'milk duds', umbilical cord goes with twizzler etc.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have? My SIL gave me her PISA Backpack after her insurance paid for another pump so she never used it.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat? Every single day I want to eat a huge box of chocolate, and I would die for sushi. I'm cheating and having sushi with a friend for lunch on Monday if LO doesn't arrive before then. I'm struggling to eat salad - but that is pretty normal.
Good luck to Lindsey on Monday!
Any milestones, updates or appointments this week? Was 35/35 on Monday. Baby can come anytime, which is slightly terrifying. I need two more weeks to get through my to do list for school!
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host? Had one last week thrown by a few friends. Have a second next week hosted by DH's family (for family and their church friends). My dept. on campus mentioned one but never scheduled anything, so not sure if it is happening.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games? I don't mind games, but I don't have one that sticks out at all. I did like decorating onesies at a friend's shower a few months ago.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have? Yes-I don't get maternity leave so I will be back to work 3-4 weeks after baby (SUCKS) so the pump will be put to use. Gonna buy it soon-can't decide between the tote style or backpack style, but going with the Medela PISA.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat? I want chocolate and oranges allllll the time. Could do without most meat, which is VERY unusual for me.
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host? Yes! I'm very excited. My sister is hosting it.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games? I like name games - match the celebrity to the baby name, match tne baby name to the riddle question. Example of the second: Boy name, also a tree. Answer: Joshua.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have? I do plan on it, but I'm going to wait until LO is born to decide if I want to purchase a pump. I've heard great things about the Medela, seems like the way to go.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat? Ice cream! Actually anything frozen. I usually hate frozen stuff becasue it bothers my teeth. In an effort to reduce my sugar intake a bought a bunch of fruit pops instead of ice cream.
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host? Nope, we don't do second showers in my family/ area unless there are special circumstances. What we do, however, is have a big "meet the baby" get together when the little one is about 2-4 weeks old, and people typically bring a little something to that.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games? I actually like shower games! I think they're fun. I like all of them.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have? I have the Medela PISA that I will use again. Loved it last time. Check your insurance provider, mine was paid for even though I didn't require it due to complications or anything!
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat? Strawberries! And strawberry ice cream, which I have hated my whole life. I am also loving Mediterranean food (hummus, pita, fattoush salad, lentil soup, etc.) and Mexican food, brownies, and potato salad. Random, I know. As far as what I don't want... fish and pretty much all seafood. I normally love it, but I'm just not feeling it.
I totally forgot to say that most insurance providers should be paying for pumps this year anyway. It was part of the healthcare overhaul. I think they have until August to comply though. http://www.healthcare.gov/news/factsheets/2011/08/womensprevention08012011a.html
I may not be reading all of it correctly - I certainly don't know about new plans versus established and cost sharing etc. but it is definitely worth pressing with your insurance provider!
Any milestones, updates or appointments this week?
I went to the doctor on Wednesday. Everything looked great and she highly recommended a pregnancy massage so I think I have to listen! ;-)
Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host?
I am actually having 2. My MIL wanted to host her own in DH's hometown so her family wouldn't have to travel to my other shower. My sister, SIL and mom are hosting the other one which will include my family and some friends.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games?
I don't hate all shower games but there isn't really one I love either. I think there will be a few games at the shower my mom, sis and SIL are hosting but there won't be any at the other one.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have?
I do plan on pumping especially after going back to work. I registered for a Medela pump but at our childbirth class this past weekend the instructor told us that with my insurance our hospital will give us a pump. I am currently looking into that.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat?
I could eat peanut butter everyday! There hasn't been anything thru my pregnancy that I have had an aversion too.
TTC since Sept 2009, 2 uterine septum surgeries (Jan and March 2011), 1 chemical pregnancy (4/11), 1 ectopic pregnancy (8/11), and missed m/c at 11w5d (3/12)
Failed IVF #1 (July 2012)
FET #1 October/November 2012 BFP, m/c at 5 3/7
February - operative hysteroscopy
Late April/May FET #2

Will you have a baby shower for this baby? If so, who will host? Well, nothing has been planned yet, but I think I'll have at least 2. One with my side of the family and my friends, and one with DH's side.
Do you have a baby shower game idea that you love? Or do you hate all shower games? I don't mind the games, but there's not one that sticks out as being fabulous.
Do you plan on pumping? If so, what kind of pump are you thinking about/do you have? I do plan on pumping when I go back to work. I haven't really looked into which kind yet though.
What food could you eat every day right now? Anything you definitely don't want to eat? I really don't have super strong cravings or aversions right now. I have enjoyed more Mexican food and ice cream is always good.
