Really? I wonder if they charge a rediculous price to do that... I'm off to Google... *poof*

When I was a kid, my parents decided I needed this gorgeous antique bed (no idea why). They had to have a mattress made to fit. I am sure it costs more than a regular mattress but if it means a lot to you or DH to use the crib, a little extra will be worth it. Do not forget, you will also have to make (or have made) fitted sheets to go with the mattress. If the do not fit properly they can be a suffocation hazard. GOOD LUCK!!

He doesn't mind replacing it. Actually, he mentioned just buying another one when he finished refurbing it. He wasn't happy with how it looked. I told him it was fine because she would have it chewed up and marked up by the time she was done with it anyway. Then we found out the mattress was going to be an issue. Now that you mention the smaller sheets and such.. It sounds like I would be just as well off to buy the cheaper one of the two that I have picked out. Decisions, decisions............ I will leave it up to him. There, that was easy!

Edited because I can't spell..

Anyone else close to being due and just ready to be done??

I have my baby shower next Saturday, but then it's just a waiting game.

And it seems like the days are passing slower and slower and slower.

I don't even care anymore about having a c-section, I've spent today feeling so heavy and miserable - I'm just ready to have her OUT already....

and I've got all these cute things to dress her in..........

I'm so impatient.

Please tell me I'm not the only one?

 

[Ms.FuzzyButts]

ME!! I am ready, but not. This being my first, I know she is alot less trouble on the inside, than she will be on the outside for the first 18 years or so....

When my mom was up for my baby shower a few weeks back--she had some sort of weird attack...she was shaking...nauseous, could not sit up or get out of bed...she said the room was spinning...we thought it was her blood sugar (she's insulin-dependent diabetic)...we tested it and it was a little high but not enough to make her that out of it....eventually, it passed and she felt okay.

After going back to Portland, the dizziness continued so she went into the doctor. They said it was an inner ear infection and gave her antibiotics. She took the course of meds and the dizziness & she started getting horrible headaches.

So she went in Wednesday for an MRI and they called her back today and gave her a CT Scan.

She just posted on FACEBOOK that she has a TUMOR.

I tried calling her and she's not answering her phone....

I'm in shock right now....not sure what to do....neither of my sisters are answering their phones....DH is not home....

 

[Ms.FuzzyButts]

Bless your heart!!! Maybe they caught it in time to be able to do something about it. I will definately keep her in my thoughts and prayers. You as well because you have had enough stress lately. Maybe someone will answer their phone!!! I'm so sorry this is happening, I wish I could say something more meaningful and calming... Just know I am thinking of you both!

So sorry Heather! I know how you feel. My mom waited two months to tell me that my DGF had a malignant brain tumor

it was when we lived in England an were waiting for DHs visa. She didn't want to mess up our travel plans

Was in shock and disbelief

Let me know if there's anything I can potentially do. They live not that far from us in NE pdx? so if I can help in ANY way just let me know!

Thank you! I'm still in shock...I keep saying that over & over...but I am....maybe it's best I stay that way and don't have a break down...maybe it's my body's way of protecting the baby....now I'm rambling...

I'll for sure be thinning my flock more than I wanted to....I have some chicks & a few adults that need to go...

I know it's going to be difficult but just keep busy and keep your stress levels down! If dealing with the chickens helps then you should go and be with them. Seriously if there's anything I can possibly help with just pm me.

RFF, I am SO sorry to hear that! What a horrible shock for all of you! Its hard to face your own mortality, especially when you're relatively young. I really hope you find out some more details soon, and it turns out to be a best case scenario (not that a tumor is ever a good thing).
