With my daughter I couldn't imagine not having a crib. With my son I was 11rs older and he only slept in his crib a handful of times. He ended up co sleeping till he was made to sleep in his own bed at 5yrs. I know, he was my baby though! <br />Anyway back to the mattress...It was super expensive and we never used it. I had bought "Nick & Nora" bedding, 2 sets, and there they sat. I stressed out about everything matching and being perfect when in reality all I wanted was a perfect little boy. That's exactly what I got.<br /><br />I hope everything is going Great today!Natikahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17052222654682853695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-26849293698392997002010-02-12T18:45:25.722-08:002010-02-12T18:45:25.722-08:00With what you've got going on, I find it incon...With what you've got going on, I find it inconceivable that you'd be fully released from bedrest. I think that, at most, you should tell him that they've moved you to modified bedrest.<br /><br />Congrats on 5 lbs. What a relief! You've greatly lowered the likelihood of a NICU stay.<br /><br />Please be careful. I don't mean to be an alarmist, but I had a very close friend who had a placental abruption and we almost lost her and her baby.<br /><br />Keep getting lots of rest and crack the whip on that DH of yours! I'm pretty sure that you can handle a whip from the couch! ;-)Wombdedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774152022821286259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-62667171418864425422010-02-12T18:42:49.773-08:002010-02-12T18:42:49.773-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Wombdedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12774152022821286259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-48522609933093037182010-02-12T17:28:56.879-08:002010-02-12T17:28:56.879-08:00Love that you made it to 5 lbs!!

For the work and icky stuff anyway! <br /><br />I like the baby art - but have you considered showing them to your daughter and having her make decals or paintings for the baby? Might make a connection for her if she is good at such things. <br /><br />Best of luck hon!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-31413181354229312952010-02-12T16:49:52.795-08:002010-02-12T16:49:52.795-08:00Congrats on the 5 pounds!

As for the crib mattress - funny coincidence. Just under a year ago I ordered my son's mattress while lying in a hospital bed. Bedrest shopping can be fun. ;) Good luck with the bedding. I searched far and wide for something "different" but in the end I settled for PBK because I was a little nervous about ordering from the internet since colors can be deceiving on different monitors. My favorites came from House Inc. though.<br />Keep us posted on everything!Mindyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16137863271039042064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-88271611892932193122010-02-12T13:07:21.222-08:002010-02-12T13:07:21.222-08:00I like the decals too!

So I think you are right to keep that information to yourself.RoseAGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01360864547510178832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-77903352810022905212010-02-12T12:26:02.337-08:002010-02-12T12:26:02.337-08:00Yaaaaaaaaaay for 5 pounds!

Um, technically. ;)<br /><br />I'm so excited that you are here, 35 weeks pregnant, on the brink of being ok for delivery. You've been through so much. This is such a victory.<br /><br />Love the decals! Very cute and simple.<br /><br />I love the visual of your daughter's wall of art. My mother in law has framed my husband and sister in law's art from their childhood - still on my MIL's walls. VERY cool! Even the idea of sandwiching it between plexi glass with clips or long time keeps seems really fun. <br /><br />Definitely, the blogging is about the connection. :)Paula Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545620300368378897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-48583466460436649642010-02-12T11:08:27.696-08:002010-02-12T11:08:27.696-08:00i don't have a crib mattress yet either and my...i don't have a crib mattress yet either and my baby's almost two weeks old! she's actually sleeping in a bassinet in our room right now though, so i guess it doesn't really matter. her crib won't be set up for another couple of weeks in the new house and even then she'll probably still be in our room for a little while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-61314190220711374102010-02-12T11:08:02.279-08:002010-02-12T11:08:02.279-08:00i don't have a crib mattress yet either and my...i don't have a crib mattress yet either and my baby's almost two weeks old! she's actually sleeping in a bassinet in our room right now though, so i guess it doesn't really matter. her crib won't be set up for another couple of weeks in the new house and even then she'll probably still be in our room for a little while.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-58491489271365114412010-02-12T11:04:04.793-08:002010-02-12T11:04:04.793-08:00I'm so glad the baby has reached a milestone w...I'm so glad the baby has reached a milestone weight and that both you and baby are doing well at home. And, uh, isn't there some window washing or toilet scrubbing or curtain ironing your DH might need to do before you let him in on the fact that you can be up and around again?<br /><br />I didn't see the anonymous comment, but it always rubs me the wrong way when I see evil (yet anonymous) comments on people's blogs. Wuss. Step off and get your jollies elsewhere. Some people live to be critical of others.<br /><br />The decals are so cool. You can spend hours looking at them online (you know, while your DH is doing that ironing). I'm sure you'll find just the right mix.<br /><br />We don't have a mattress yet either! Or crib. We have one box of diapers. TONS of clothes, but for some reason the serious necessities (like butt paste and booger suckers) are not what people want to buy for your baby shower. Go figure.Best When Used Byhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17252417951291793892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4796780809065825294.post-91874850367538832102010-02-12T10:08:10.762-08:002010-02-12T10:08:10.762-08:00I love those decals!

We have a mid-century modernish house so I heart all mod stuff :) There is a mod crib and bedding that I have even looked at--I know that's crazy but I couldn't help myself.<br /><br />And obviously the most important part of your post is the five pounds and the possible end to the bedrest. But I agree--keep that little point to yourself for as long as possible.<br /><br />As far as the blogging community--it's a wonderful world by and large. I will never, EVER forget your comment about my Dad, it literally got me through the darkest moments. I am tearing up right this very second just thinking about that day, and reading those words, and feeling grateful for those moments. <br /><br />Keep resting up and keep us posted!lastchanceivfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139576318784337837noreply@blogger.com
