Thread: February Check In/GTKY

Hey ladies, got some more questions for you!!!

1) Have you selected a pediatrician? If you already have one, are you sticking with the same one?
We will be using the same pediatrician we use for DD. We lucked out and found a super one doing an online search that I am really happy with!

2) Do you have a special take home outfit? What does it look like?
Um, I think I will probably try to pack one of the new outfits-most of my clothes will be hand-me-downs from DD. They look like new, but if I remember I will throw in one of the never been worn ones my sister gave me for this one so this one can wear something brand new to come home in.

3) What do you plan to birth in? Hospital gown? Your own clothes? Naked?
I plan to birth in a hospital gown-i don't really care about wearing my own clothes and if I wear the gown, I don't have to worry about getting it bloody or dirty. I wouldn't do naked unless I was doing a water birth and even then I would still wear a top-my poor DH would probably die if I stripped completely with hospital personnel in the room, lol!

4) Is your car seat installed? If so, will you get it inspected and when? Not yet, i just got the infant seat back out of storage this weekend. We never did get it inspected, I wanted to but it never happened. I do tug on it to make sure it is in nice and tight.

5) What are you doing for childbirth prep or infant prep? Classes, books or previous experience? Previous experience! I read tons of books last time and I know what I want/don't want inasmuch as that is in my control

6) How are you feeling? Big and lots of BH which I am not enjoying. They started at 20 weeks with DD1, I think they started later with this one, but I seem to be feeling them more, as has been the case with every aspect of this pregnancy.

7) Are you allowing yourself to do anything now that you weren't allowing in the early stages of pregnancy, like certain foods, drinks or excercise? Haha, allowing isn't exactly the word. I am now eating things I wasn't in the early stages simply because now I am not too nauseous to, lol!

8 ) What is your next big buy for baby? Still thinking about a double stroller.

9) Do you have any Valentine's day plans with DH? If we do anything, I will just cook something extra special. Either that or get take-out lol!

10) If you have kiddos what are they doing for Valentine's Day? I will probably get her some little presents. My mom is mailing her some DVDs for Valentines Day so she will have some stuff to open.

11) Sweethearts Candy, Love em or Hate em? Don't hate them, but they aren't chocolate so are a waste of calories IMO!

12) Any superbowl plans? Ha, I totally forgot it was on until 10pm that night. DH isn't a sports fan and neither am I so it isn't really on our radar.

Hey ladies, got some more questions for you!!!

1) Have you selected a pediatrician? If you already have one, are you sticking with the same one?

We haven't selected a pediatrician yet but we definitely need to soon. Better to get it done earlier rather than later.

2) Do you have a special take home outfit? What does it look like?

We think we found a special take home outfit but I am going to pick another one out just in case to be safe. It's a brown onsie with a cute design saying touchdown with some cute brown pants/ shorts.


3) What do you plan to birth in? Hospital gown? Your own clothes? Naked?

I am planning on wearing the hospital gown for now. I have very bad ocd so I don't want a mess or blood getting all over my clothes. I need to find something comfy to wear afterwards. And I like the whole idea of a bathing suit, sports bra, or nursing bra might even be better.

4) Is your car seat installed? If so, will you get it inspected and when?

We haven't even bought the car seat yet. Were trying to wait till after the baby showers to make sure. But once we get the car seat, we will try and set it up and maybe get some people with experience to check and make sure that it's installed correctly.

5) What are you doing for childbirth prep or infant prep? Classes, books or previous experience?

Trying to learn as much as I can without stressing and worrying myself out at the same time. I have been reading info off the computer, looking through books and magazines , reading info on apps and trying to gather knowledge from women with experience. But at the same time trying to not worry myself or freak myself out because my ocd is really bad and can cause me to get freak out like a panic attack.

6) How are you feeling?

I have been feeling alright. Super tired a lot! And peeing a lot too. Also a lot harder to breathe. But im guessing this is normal.

7) Are you allowing yourself to do anything now that you weren't allowing in the early stages of pregnancy, like certain foods, drinks or excercise?

I am trying to follow through everything the doctor told me . i try to eat healthy but I still have my cravings. And I have been trying to stay consistent in working out.

8 ) What is your next big buy for baby?

Not quite sure. Were trying to wait till after the baby shower but we do have a long list of things we need to purchase.

9) Do you have any Valentine's day plans with DH?

Depends on how we are doing financially. I love Japanese food so I really want to go to a Japanese restaurant for dinner and maybe cuddling with a movie afterwards. Either way I want to spend it with the love of my life <3

10) If you have kiddos what are they doing for Valentine's Day?

this is our first child we are expecting and even though he is still in my belly , he will be cuddled up with his mommy and daddy on Valentine's Day!

11) Sweethearts Candy, Love em or Hate em?

Most of the time , I love them! Depends on the brand. lol

12) Any superbowl plans?

We watched the superbowl with my family and it was a long game.
