 CHLOE-OSULLIVAN said: I got mine from Ikea. My parents bought that an the mattress for us and it was only $400 all up but they got us the most expensive cot. I know in Australian Ikeas you can get one for $99. They all turn in to toddler beds, they are regular size and sturdy.

I looked on their website and they look so iffy :/ I think I'll be taking a trip to Ikea to see them in person :)

 CONUNDRUMSWITHCORA said: i really like my co-sleeper! it’s small enough that it fits really well next to the bed but there’s still plenty of room for her to grow with it. it also converts to a playpen but you can use that part as storage underneath when it’s in bassinet form

hmm.. I like the idea of more storage, lol.

 HIPPYPOTTER said: I’m my trying to sway you I just wanted to give my two cents. I personally LOVE cosleeping. It makes breatfeeding so much easier and it helps Ellia sleep at night by being so close to me. As long as you have a co sleeper there’s nothing to worry about.

is there any way for her to roll over onto the bed? or is the surface of the bed higher than the surface of the cosleeper?

conundrumswithcora said: i am convinced this happens to every man while on deployment because they literally have nothing else to do (when they’re not working) but work out and get enormous…. my husband was a cocky asshole too.

-it really does happen to mostly all of them cause I have heard so many people mention it lol and it is cause he is bored and has nothing else to do which I don't mind i'm all for fitness, and I just shake my head when he starts acting cocky cause I know it's not him he's just acting that way cause he's over there. He wasn't like this before he left, cause if he was I wouldn't have married his ass hahah.

that sounds great! what are you going to do with nathan?

Well, since we live with Ross' mom now (who is retired!), she's offered to keep him. Time to build up my milk stash! :)

conundrumswithcora replied to your photo: This is the one I have. It reall… oh wow that thing looks AWESOME. sad thing is i know i’d never use it either :/ i haven’t used our stroller yet, i find it annoying to have to carry everywhere and then set up and just bleh. i like having her close to me anyway. ~ that's exactly how I feel! Plus its cold & its nice to have him snug and warm against me. The only good I got from taking the stroller to the.mall was that I could change him wherever & whenever I needed to & that I could put the diaper bag & my coat under it.

conundrumswithcora answered your question: out of curiosity, did any of you who have had...

i didnt feel pain so much at the top but that was where i felt the tightness the most and it made it really hard to breathe.

yeah its not really like the kind of pain i'd expect with labor but its really tight, and i can see it tightening and idk okay I feel less crazy now woo

It’s all about what kind of pain you’re “used to”. With my severe stomach pains, I honestly wasn’t even sure I was in labor. It was “normal” right up until they broke my water at 7cm. Then it hurt like crazy. Stay Positive! Your lo is almost here!

See, i thought i'd be fine because i've had chronic pain for years and I had kidney stones and that was the worst pain ever...until now. ha!

You’re still strong! Just because you can’t handle it doesn’t mean anything less about you. Congrats!

Thanks hunny! <3

oops i just asked if you were getting one haha. don’t beat yourself up, it makes for a great labor! or at least it did for me. it allowed me to get some rest before i had to push and i slept through dilating from 4 to 10 cm.

Oh yeeea im getting one! lol that's what i figured, if its going to make it a more calming experience, then im gonna do that. I'd rather look back and be like, 'wow that amazing', then "holy effing shit, i never want to do that again, that was the worst experience of my life" .
