Ephemery – I wrote this to you earlier, but I don’t think you saw it:
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Ha, I was on the same roller coaster and in TOTAL shock that it worked the first time and had the “oh no, what did we do!” reaction! Wishing you a H&H 9 months. My mom just took a trip to the Dominican and didn’t get a malaria shot. My dads gone numerous times as well and to my knowledge has never gotten one.
I just called my mom to confirm and neither of them have ever taking any kind of medicine. They have been to Punta Cana and Casa de Campo, perhaps you are going somewhere different. All trips were booked through travel agents and no one ever mentioned needing anything for malaria. Two of the men my dad has traveled with every time are doctors too.
Tacori – Yeah, $20 is expensive for 2 socks! Now I am going to be even more paranoid about loosing them! Lord… if I had a dollar for every time Jon knocked the shield off and then started screaming because I had to set him down to find it and wash it.
MSB – You aren’t the first to mention teeth. I havent looked real close, but I think I will try tonight. I think his room stays at a fairly consistent temp, but I will try to take more note of it. I’m really starting to think its not being around me so much. I know that sounds crazy, but I was reading something about it called “daytime mellowing”. Daycare says the only time he cries is when he is hungry and I have watched them and they do hold/hug them.
Daytime mellowing: A peaceful daytime is likely to lead to a restful night. The more attached you are to your baby during the day and the more baby is held and calmed during the day, the more likely this peacefulness is to carry through into the night. If your baby has a restless night, take inventory of unsettling circumstances that may occur during the day: Are you too busy? Are the daycare and the daycare provider the right match for your baby? Does your baby spend a lot of time being held and in-arms by a nurturant caregiver, or is he more of a "crib baby" during the day? We have noticed babies who are carried in baby slings for several hours a day settle better at night. Babywearing mellows the infant during the day, behavior that carries over into restfulness at night.
Jas – If I could wear those socks to work, I would! I don’t think you will be showing too much by then… high/empire waists are good and so are the shirts with rouching at the top. I bought a lot of non-maternity tops that I was actually able to wear the whole time because the high waist stuff was in style and seems to still be. All the cute stuff out there now reminds me of my preggo clothes! Tacori is right though, long is the key! I''m 6 feet tall and If I could get stuff long enough to last 9 month, I''m sure you can too.
Tgal – If you are interested in swaddling, definitely get a Miracle Blanket. I started swaddling Jon at about 2 weeks and I went from getting up every hour to every 2-4 hours… it was HEAVEN. He fussed a bit at first, but I would just rock him a little and then lay him down. I always have to fight him a little to get him in, but once I get those arms pinned down, he is calm and often asleep within seconds. SIL gave me one of the Kiddapotomus ones (I think that the brand) and it was a joke… he broke out of it in a heartbeat!
