I'm surfing the net every day in search of deals, reviews, etc. So far I've bought quite a bit for 19 weeks, I think anyways.<br />
<br />
For newborn diapers, I think I'm all set. Here is my list so far:<br />
<br />
36 Cotton Babies Indian Prefolds (already prepped, yep its early)<br />
Rockin Green Classic Detergent - Bare Naked Babies<br />
2 Snappi's<br />
1 13 Gallon Hefty Trash Can with lid<br />
2 Planet Wise Pail Liners<br />
1 Medium Planet Wise wet bag<br />
1 Small Planet Wise Wet Bag<br />
36 Etsy Seller Cloth flannel wipes (Buying 36 more this week)<br />
2 - 8oz Mist Spray Bottles for wipes<br />
2 - 8oz Pump Bottles for wipes<br />
4 - Extra Small Thirsties diaper covers<br />
4 - Newborn Bummis Super Whisper Wrap diaper covers<br />
<br />
I'm hoping to be able to wash every other day with the 36 diapers for the newborn stage. Here is a pic of just the diapers & covers.<br />

I have had it for 2 weeks but hadn't had any luck in finding it yet. I didn't worry, because my doctor doesn't even try until 12 weeks. I actually used regular body lotion instead of the gel. I lotioned up my belly and then put a little on the doppler itself. It took a good 5 minutes of poking around, but I finally found it! I cried! I yelled for DH to come listen, but by the time he got there I lost it. I laid there for a few more minutes and found it again, and took a little video of it. It was hard to take the video, and hold the doppler at the same time so its kind of a horrible video, but you can hear it. The second half you can hear it a lot better than the first half. So amazing!!</div><div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

I am so glad I took the advice of other Bumpie's and ordered <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Baby-Bargains-Secrets-furniture-maternity/dp/1889392405/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1304086987&sr=8-1">Baby Bargains</a>. It is so worth the $12! The book covers everything from furniture to car seats to breast pumps. They let you know what you do and don't need. It gives some basic info about the manufacturer and models of items, and gives them a grade from A - F.<br />
<br />
We recently started looking at baby gear and furniture. I started off by looking at sites like Babies R Us and Amazon, checking reviews and ratings from those sites. That is all fine and dandy, but this book really breaks down what the best product is, and even gives you options for those of us on a lower budget. We had some furniture picked out, just going by looks, and this book changed my mind. I did not realize the manufacturer of the furniture DH & I fell in love with had such a bad rep. Issues in the past like lead paint, poor hardware resulting in recalls - all scary stuff. We have decided to go with another manufacturer that got great reviews, but is more expensive. To us, the expense is worth it to keep our future LO safe!<br />
<br />
Definitely buy this book! So worth it. The book is very up to date (this edition having just been published April 21, 2011) And covers most of the items that are currently in store.

I've gone to this doctor for a few years now, and absolutely love him! My friend recommended him to me a few years ago, and I'm so glad I gave him a shot. His office is nice and close, he is literally 50 seconds from the hospital I'm planning on delivering at, and he is so funny and makes me so at ease. I'm hoping he will at least use the doppler so we can hear the heartbeat again. Hopefully all is well with our little peanut!!Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00553293262060803439noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5361862099405574596.post-68205406670489621232011-04-06T15:08:00.000-04:002011-04-06T15:08:45.781-04:001st Belly ShotOk, well since the November 2011 bumpies started a belly shot weekly post, I guess I'll suck it up and put this up here. Not really a baby belly shot, more of a fat and bloat shot, but oh well! Please excuse the messy room and DH snoozin in the back. This was week 6.<br />

Our little peanut has a heartbeat! We got to see it and hear it for a few seconds. Doc did find 3 large cysts (didn't say how large) on my ovaries. He said my ovaries were large and actually were bigger than my uterus. But he said not to worry, and we'll check on them again in 2 weeks. So we get to see the baby again soon! :) Here is the pic...<br />

(TMI warning...) DH & I were headed to bed. I went to the bathroom and wiped, and there was a tiny bit of brown discharge. I freaked, just stared at it for a minute, and then DH came in and asked what it was. I explained it and tried not to cry, but I did anyways. Tried to go to bed, and ended up getting up 4 or 5 times to go to the bathroom to check. The next 2 times there was a teeny tiny bit of pink. I mean minuscule. But I still freaked again, brown, ok well thats old, but WTF is this pink?? I ended up getting sick to my stomach, 1 because I was nauseous all day, but 2 because I was freaking out. Went to bed a little bit later.<br />
<br />
When I woke up, I called out of work, and waited until 9 to call the doc's office. I left a message with one of the nurse receptionist, and a nurse called me back in a 1/2 hour. Thankfully I got a positive one, she was really nice and didn't give me the whole end of the world talk. She talked about the nausea first, gave me the whole "saltines saltines saltines" talk. She said when I come in they can also discuss vitamins and possibly meds. I'm hoping to ask about B6, my sister took it and it helped her a ton. She then went on to ask about the spotting, and asked about cramping, which I explained I haven't had anything bad. I have had a little bit, but its been since we got our BFP. She said it was possibly from the last time we had sex, but that was almost a week ago. She was able to move up our ultrasound from Monday 4/4 to tomorrow at 1:55. DH was ablet o switch days at work so he can come. I'm praying and hoping all is well. I also posted on the Bump, and got so much support. I love you Bump girls!!! So nice to be able to go some where that other people understand how I'm feeling. I'll post tomorrow, hopefully with good news and a picture of our little sweet pea!!Nikkihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00553293262060803439noreply@blogger.com0
