TTC Blue Crew Grads

[Hobbermittens]

Hey 3P1B, how is Charlie 6 months old already? That's crazy! I bet you will be fine once everyone goes off to school--it will be nice to have a little bit of alone time with your baby boy!!

I am 33 weeks and staying team green until the end. I have a feeling this baby is a girl, though. But being team green will help me with the GD if the baby turns out to be a girl like I think it is.

woo hoo ttc5, maybe you will deliver soon. i lost mine at 25 weeks but thank goodness michael stayed put. he's 2 months old now and sleeping through the night already, i am one lucky mama! but to all you ladies who have boys... thanks for the warning. i wasn't aware i had to make sure he was pointed down at all times. sometimes i forget and i wonder how its even possible to pee out of a dry diaper like that. he soaked everywhere but the diaper...guess im still learning.

Hobber - I totally see the benefits of green team. Out of fear of GD I wanted to stay green with Charlie but dh insisted we find out. After my mc I was really detached and he was hoping it would help me bond with the pregnancy more. Ironically it didn't, it actually made me more afraid of losing HIM not just IT.

Girlmom - ah yes, keep him pointed down. I actually had to change the shape of my cloth diaper inserts due to that pesky little penis lol

3P1B- Charlie is getting so big!! I love the new picture of him
I have never changed a boy diaper before so I am sure I will be in for a treat

LOL it is a fun experience! DS2 got me all the time when he was an infant...I'd try to change his diaper too quick and the rush of air would make him pee...I felt like a newbie mom all over again!! I think it's going to be very strange changing a diaper soon with NOTHING between the legs haha....I can hardly imagine!

3P1B, can't believe Charlie is so big!! Also, loving the new pic!!

Thanks ladies!

We chose not to circumcize so I don't get peed on too much since I have a early warning system of sorts. If he's peed recently there tends to be a drop in the tip so I know if I need to hurry or not lol

Auroara- I will say those first tar poops are much easier to scrape off girls but after that there are so many more places for poo to hide lol Also when girls pee while being changed it just runs straight down so remember always keep something under her toosh and wipe front to back and you'll be good to go

I think girls are harder to keep clean with all their million creases and I worry about cleaning around those sensitive little girl parts. The boys manhandle (lmao) their stuff and tug at it and everything so I never worry about giving a good wipe ;p

I wipe baby girls down then gently dab a clean wipe section in her labia folds to clean out anything that has squished in there.

My babies smell like a pizza the first few days, hah, because I squirt on a little olive oil with each change. Makes the meconium MUCH easier to wipe off. Maybe I'll try coconut oil this time so Riceball will smell like a coconut

3PNB I can't believe how adorably big your little man is getting! 6 months already??!!

Scan on September 11th gals! Still really wanting to stay Team Green but it's more nervewracking now that we're getting close.

My dr's office said it's scheduled for the main hospital too, and our other scans have all been at the outpatient radiology across town from the hospital. So I probably won't have the same tech I had with my last two and that makes me nervous. She was so wonderful and knew how to hide gender until you were ready.

Good thing I guess is maybe the main hospital will have a nicer machine and I can get a DVD. Or maybe I don't want one to try and get gender clues from!!!!

Maybe if they have a nicer machine you will be able to get a 3D/4D one

HI ladies! Zane is already 3 months old! I cant even believe it! he is a big boy at 16 lbs! Sleeping 12 hours a night since about 2 months old. Not only did I get my dream gender I got the dream baby. He is such a good boy! I feel so blessed. I thank him every day for being so amazing. I just love him so much. DD is starting Preschool in a few weeks and soccer. She is such a good big sister. I am so happy I could just pee! Hope everyone is doing well.
