Here is the stroller:
Chicco USA - Cortina Stroller - Adventure
And car seat:
Chicco USA - KeyFit 30 Infant Car Seat - Adventure
Of course there are other colors, this is the one I chose :)
My friend works at The Right Start and pointed this set out to me and showed me all of the features including the leveler and lever for proper position.

Yeh, my mom used cloth diapers on me and one of my friends is a naturalist, so she has been telling me all about it. I'd love to do it to save money and to give my baby a healthy bum. Hee Hee Go to Cloth Diapers-Comfy Bummy Diapers-Your Complete Resource for Diapering Needs and they will send you info on cloth diapering- the how to's and what not.
Altenweg what do you say about people having twins? It could be two boys it could be two girls or mix.. its not always one baby duhh loll like I say I've been wrong before so its not like its my job, I just happen to predict it and it comes out to be right again do not rely on it 100 percent... even yesterday I went to this restaurant and my aunt works there I haven't seen her for a long period when I got there I saw tha she was pregnant I didn't know so I was like ''when is she arriving? She started to laugh she said ''how you know it's a girl? I just said nothing and starting laughing
Yo, Kpizzle! What's this talk about twins? Hee Hee Do you think you're having twins or are you wondering how you can guess the sex when someone is having twins? You still haven't told me why you say boy for me.
How is everyone's weight gain going? I've already gotten a lot of water weight gain. I've gone up one pant size and I'm 12 weeks now. And the scale says I've gone from 135/140 to 154! My doctor says she's not worried and I look fine, but that was my first appointment and she never saw me before I was pregnant. What do you guys think? I say it's water weight gain because it's like everything is tight now- thighs, butt,and arms... like they've been filled in or something. Everyone else around me that's at my same week only have visible signs through a little pugginess in the face and a small belly bump. My stomach is already very visible.
Thanks for the info! I'm going to go check these items out now.Quote:

Only recommendation I'll make for a car seat is to look for one that will allow you to keep baby facing the rear as long as possible.
Seats will require baby to be turned forwardfacing at a certain weight because of that seats design. Look for one that will keep them facing the rear to the highest weight limit you can find.
While the law states baby can face forward at a year old and at least 20 pounds, that is not the safest option.

Anywhoooo... yes, I still want to know what is the reasoning behind your guesses. (Symptoms, a feeling, a hunch, a vision, etc.) Everyone who calls something has some foundation for their guessing. My hubby prides himself on predicting the outcome of all football games. He uses his knowledge of the game, knowledge of the teams strengths and weakness and compares that with the team they are playing, and then he also looks at the location of the game, the coaches, and then makes a prediction. So far, he's always right, winning lots of bets with friends. So, that is why I asked you why do you say a boy for me since you've never seen me before. I know you already said you could be wrong, but I would like to know why you say a boy.Quote:

Which one do you use when you predict the sex of others babies? Please don't think I'm knockin' you... I'm just wondering, that's all. I have a friend who I haven't seen in months and when I told her I was pregnant 2 months ago, she kept saying girl. I finally saw her last week, and she goes, I still say girl. And I asked her why, and she said she just feels like it's a girl. She is a spiritual person like me, so I just presumed she had a vision or something. My mom had a dream that I had a boy and she said dreams are opposite so that means I'm having a girl. So far, you're the only one saying boy so that's why I wanted to know how you predicted that.Quote:

Criss when I tell you to read my post clearly it seems like you don't? When I say my mind and my heart am talking about ''my pregnancy'' and again I will know the sex before the ultra sound tells me.. and I love whether it's a boy or a girl because when I was praying to GOD I ask him to be pregnant not to give me pregnancy with a ''specific gender''...
Whoa, I didn't mean to offend you. Since this is my post, I didn't think it was off limits to ask you a question about something you said underneath it. Geezzzz, those pregnancy hormones must be kicking in full force! Remember I was hoping for twins? That's why I wanted to know if there was a reason you mentioned twins. On a prior post we were wishing me twinesss. And then I thought, maybe u felt u were having twins since heart was saying one thing and mind the other. We've been cool since the beginning of this post. No need for offense... SMILE!:DQuote:

Typed words are read based on the person reading it, I didn't completely understand what you typed. That is common because you know what you want to say, but the reader does not. If it bothers you for me to ask you about something you said to me or anyone posting, then don't answer. That's fine because it seems as if you are miss reading my words and not having an understanding heart.Quote:

God bless you and you're pregnancy.
Oh no criss trust me am not offended.. I was just shocked because it seemed like you got upset when I mentioned the boy thingyyy... anywaysss its stilll love its all love... I always wished you what u've asked for and you know it its all goodddd... hugsss
Pheww, good, I'm glad. :oQuote:

I wanted to add, I have a girl and just had a boy, which I wanted, and they make cutier clothes for girls than for boys. I get upset when I go shopping for him and see the selection they have. That's why in my spare time, which is really spared, I make him a outfit or two.
Wow! A friend of mine just told me her friend is having twins! It's so crazy how common it's becoming. I was a nanny for 1 1/2 years and during that time I had the opportunity to watch two different sets of twins. They are a lot of fun! Hubby and I really wanted twins. Ultrasound shows one baby. Most of the babies I watched were infant boys and yes, clothing selection is soooooooooooo limited. There is soooooooooooo much stuff for girls that it just makes you get all excited!Quote:

My hubby is into sports and she may vary well be a sporty girl and spend her time going to games and playing with him, so we'll see what happens. Hee hee
OK.. now tha the hormones cooled down loll we cool once again right criss?.
Yea am going to agree with liz they do make cute clothes for girlss than boys lol
Yeaaa crissy wonderfullll... GOD BLESS and healthy pregnancies to us!!
OK so they throwing me this b-day party at this club on Saturday and trust me there will be a lots of drinking but am pregnant and they don't know yet... how should I play it off? I mean because usually ill have sip of drinks in clubs.. any suggestions??
If you don't want them to know that you have already conceived... say you are trying to conceive and are doing it the right way. Stopping anything that may be a problem.
Tell them you are taking some medicine and you don't want to mix it with alcohol. Depending on your comfort level with telling a fib... take a Tylenol before you go and you will be covered... :)

I thought the trying to conceive part would bring some fun to the party!
Or tell them you're on a fast from alcohol. Pregnancy is a fast from a lot of things. Haa haaa I miss my blue cheese!
Loooooooool I don't want them to know I just want them to see my stomach by my third month growing lollQuote:

Thanks guys really great ideassss... thats why I always come here for answers 'caus you guys are sincerely the besttt!!
Ok, people, I'm a retard and was downing Coca Cola for 2 days straight and not realizing it had caffeine because I've never been a big soda drinker, but for some reason, I really wanted it for like 2 days straight. Do you think I've done any serious damage?

You do need to limit caffeine because it does cross the placenta, though to what extent and at what does it affects a fetus is not completely clear.
It does suggest, however, that high doses of caffeine intake slightly increases the chance of miscarriage in early pregnancy.
Just cut back on it, and you should be okay :)
Thanks Southern, my intentions are to have a glass every once in a while when my tummy needs a little settling or drink caffeine free during those times. I've been so sick, that now that I'm feeling better, I think I just went overboard. Hee Hee
If you want something with carbonation to help the stomach... sprite, 7-up, siera mist... they all work great and are caffeine free.
So is root beer.
Cool, thanks Southern!
OK guys so am back everything went well... but damnnn all I've been dealing with is ribs pain and my body is so sore.. just can't believe ,I usually don't have this problem from dancing too muchh.. I hope ama get better since my first appointmnt is next week
I measured at 19cm and I am 14 weeks. But the baby was not measuring ahead when I went in 3 weeks ago. I asked the doctor if I was measuring large and she said, yes, and that was it. Should I be concerned? What should I be measuring?
Generally you will measure the number of weeks you are, but there are several things that can account for the measurement to be off. Baby's position, number of pregnancies, length of your torso, location of the placenta, amount of amniotic fluid at the time they measure, as well as baby's size. The measurement is really just a rough guide and is one tool used to estimate baby's size and pattern of growth. Some women will be off, and by a considerable amount, throughout much of their pregnancy without it being an issue.
If she was concerned, she would likely order a scan to do some more measurements.
As far as recommendations go... I highly suggest the Peg Perego P3 stroller. It's super light (I throw it around with one hand) and it's easy to use (my arthritic grandmother can even collapse it and open it up.)
I also really love my Britax Boulevard (I think that's it) car seat. It's like a lazy boy recliner. And it's been great for my giant baby. He outgrew his infant seat at 5.5 months so I'm glad I found a good deal on his Britax seat. It has the side impact protection and is really nice.
I bought a cheap crib from WalMart and wouldn't change that. It's simple and reasonably attractive. And the money I saved on that allowed me to splurge on the stuff I really use a lot, the stroller and car seat.
Oh, and don't worry about measuring big. It's not the end of the world. There are so many different variables (that Doula kindly outlined) that it's not a great indication of whether something is off.
I had a big boy and didn't measure that big for most of my pregnancy. I wasn't measuring more than a centimeter or so ahead, but I have a 7.5 pound 19 inch baby at almost 36 weeks. And I had a girlfriend who measured huge for the first half of her pregnancy but had a 6.5 pound 19 inch baby at 41.5 weeks. So it's kind of iffy.
Girl- good point and thanks for the recommendation. Doula, wise as usual.
I know this might sound crazy of me since I've openly stated that I wanted twins. But does anyone this it's possible? They run in my family on my mother's side. Both she and my grandmother were pregnant with twins, but lost them to miscarrage. But I have others cousins who have had twins successfully.
I have gained so much weight and so rapidly even though I've been vomiting daily do to my blood sugar dropping. I've also been going poop a lot and so it just seems like food is never in my body long.
I had a dream about having multiples
I started showing at 8 weeks.
I feel movement all the time even though they say I shouldn't be able to feel it. (I know the difference between gas and something flicking you, the flutters, and the feeling of something turning upside down and spinning around in your belly. This activity happens almost daily.)
I'm measuring 19cm at 14 weeks.
I've been sick right from the start.
I had a positive pregnancy test before I even missed my period.
These are all things that just really make me feel maybe I don't have to worry about being so sick and gaining so much weight because maybe I'm having twins .
Ultrasound only shows one, but they normally just zoom in on the sac and that's it. I've gained like 2 lbs a week and the doctors are not concerned. I'm only 5'1, so I know I could show early because of a small torso, but they are telling me I can only gain 25lbs and I've gained at least 20 if not more because I can't exactly calcuate how much I weighed before because I was gaining weight just before I got pregnant. (My body was acting as if I was pregnant and my boobs were swollen and enlarged for a whole month before I got pregnant for real.)
Possible, but unlikely. They usually don't miss it anymore these days. I would think they would have checked to be sure since you did have some possible signs early on. One big indicator might have been an exceptionally high hcg level earlier than than the norm, but even that can vary quite a bit.
Any chance you are a bit farther along then first thought? Did baby measure on track in a scan?
