Third Trimester Anxiety

My original due date is 12/5 but due to the size of my baby I am measuring 38 weeks today. I am 5'1" and have a small body frame and over a week ago, a sonogram showed my baby was already nearly six pounds and 18 1/2 inches long. My doctor does not want me to go too long since the baby is large for a person my size to carry but he said today he wants to wait at least another week or two. He said that I was getting very stressed and emotional and needed to calm down. My blood pressure has been fine and I have had no major problems during...

Baby Shower for 3Rd Baby ?

I am pregnant with my 3rd baby and I am wondering if it is ok to have a baby shower? My first 2 were girls, I had a shower with both of them - thrown by different friends. This time I have not had anyone offer to throw one, and I was kinda bummed but then I started thinking about "what if I threw my own?" I dont want to look like a loser, or look like a gift greedy mama :) Its not about the gifts to me its about the celebration. Both my girls got a "celebration", and I made scrapbooks with pictures and momentos from the party ..... I...

What Are Other People's Self-soothing Techniques for Helping Baby to Bed?

Our 6 1/2 month old son cries hard every night when it's time to go to bed. We try to stick to the same routine, but I admit, not religiously. I nurse him, then around 7pm or so we feed him some fruit or veggies. I usually read a book to him. We put him in his pajamas. We hang out for a little bit with low lighting, playing gently or cuddling. When it's time to go to bed, my husband swaddles him in his blankie and he screams and usually takes 20 min. to an hour to put him down. (I don't think it's the swaddling because when I try to get him...

Baby Shower for #2

I have a friend who lives out of town, but would like to come down and throw a baby shower for our second child. My DD is 19 months and will be almost 2 when the baby arrives. We don't need alot of "stuff", mostly clothes since #2 is a boy. She suggested we do a "gift card" shower, where guests would give us gift cards to HEB, Target, Carters, Molly maids, etc. Would this be appropriate? I feel kind of weird about having a 2nd shower, but we wouldn't be registering for anything, and I know that the Gift cards will come in handy once our...
