Also check out SECONDS diapers. A lot of manufacturers (Cotton babies) sell the diapers with cosmetic flaws (stitching, color) for a discounted price. Green Mountain diaper is where I have bought all of our pre folds and all of them are Seconds or…
We use ROckin' Green for everything... diapers and our clothes!! <3 it!! I use Barenaked Babies scent, I'm not a fan of scented even though it doesn't scent your clothes.
We have bumGenius, Econobum covers, Gerber Prefolds, Flats, Green Mountain prefolds, worhorse fitteds, OsoCozy AIO and bumGenuis AIO..... as well as some Etsy orders from SAHM and T-Shirt diapers we made.
Love the bumGenius... don't like…
@Samantha, Susun Weed suggests drinking them in infusions. 1 oz of the herb in a quart jar with boiling water, let it sit for 4-10 hours. She does not recommend drinking different infusions everyday, so make one (you can do red clover and RRL) then…
Ladies, Look into Susun Weed, Herbs for the Childbearing Year. She has a great section on fertility. Red Clover, Nettles and Red Raspberry Leaf to name a few.
I know my midwife and a few others in the area are willing to do home birth for twins, so it's really about who you choose as a provider. Most midwives that I've met are thrilled to attend twin births. Our local hospital's standard…
We just asked people to kindly keep their opinions to themselves. When that didn't work I was like "It's not something up for discussion and your opinions are not wanted or needed." There were a lot of people who we knew would…
Andrea, How did the appointment turn out? Did you ever end up seeing her? My midwife has only ever canceled or pushed things back when a birth is involved so I don't know how I would handle that situation. I can see how it would be…
Yay Andrea!! Glad to hear you found a midwife. My midwife just completed her apprenticeship but has been a doula for the last 13 years. I honestly couldn't imagine a better woman to have go through this process with us. :) We are in the final…
We are awaiting our little one, due Nov 25th, and a lot of these thoughts have crossed my mind. I found this link to be helpful in setting up some "ground rules." I adapted the list to suit our needs and printed copies to give to friends…
Andrea, I would ask her practices on breech at home, some midwives don't/won't deliver them. Ask if she does vaginal exams or not, our midwife does not but has offered to show my husband and I, so we can check if we get curious. Ask her…
Hi Mere, Great to have a good nights sleep on a new matress. Good luck with the Special Olympics this weekend. That is a great endevour to be involved with.

Hi Mere, I am glad you got your bedframe together. That has to be a relief especially as you get bigger and it gets harder to get up to pee. I know what you mean about the Flinstone feet my Rob is the same way. I would love to see him go and get a pedi as well. But just too girlie for him....lol....Those sites had what looked like some great sleep/leasure bras that should help you to stay comfy while they are so tender. Hopefully you are feeling pretty well and not much in the way of morning sickness. What do you do for a living? I work for a pharmacutical company doing research. Took my interest in hormones and put it to work on something that would pay the bills......lol
Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Mere, I was off surfing and found a couple of sites that may help with your bra search. Try these sites....bravado designs and herroom.com. I was looking at different bras for myself but found they have a wide selection of larger bust size bras so thought of you Mere. I am a small C cup so can find a lot easily but can understand how finding your size could be frustrating as well. Hope to hear from you soon

Hi Mere, Hope your weekend was a good one. Rob surprised me with a weekend at a resort spa about an hour from our house. Was so great to have some pampering. Absolutely loved the mani and pedi and message. I know the meds have started to kick in a bit as my boobs have been so tender the last day and half. What I would imagine they would feel like just before a period came on from what my girlfriends have told me. Not sure if I told you I am also a post operative transsexual as well. So I know some thing is working on them and it was not Rob...lol... sorry had to put a little humor in there. Again just wanted to say "hi" and hope your weekend was good.

Hi Mere, Was looking at motherwear.com and they have some very cute cloths as well as great prices on nursing bras. You are very large busted already, do you think you will get much larger? I know my sister went from a D to a G cup with her pregnancy and nursing. She is back to a D after nursing for over a year. Are you buying nursing bras now or just materity? I know full of questions this morning...lol. My Dr and LC have had me on large doses of estrogen and progesterone to simulate pregnancy for the last month and half and I have seent some increase in my breasts enough to let me know that somthing is going on with them. Hopefully that is a good sign for lactation.
Have a good day
Hugs
Cheryl
Thank you for all the posative thoughts Mere. They are greatly appriciated. Long day at work for me today. Some of the meds they have me taking sap my energy so like you I took a long walk as well only on the treadmill. Still a nice way to relax some for me. Glad to hear all is well. How is the nursing bra hunt going?
Hope to hear from you soon
Hugs

Hi Meredith, Just saw your posts and you sound like a wonderful woman who has it all together and knows what she wants. That is great. My husband and I are having a serrogate birth as I cannot get pg, but I am planning on trying to nurse and would love to nurse for as long as possible as I feel it is one of the healthiest ways to raise a child. I am attempting to induce lactation and feel I will be able to even though i know it is a long tough road. Our serrogate is a bit further along than you are but Rob and I should have our baby the end of October. Other areas I may recommend trying to find nursing bras in your size are specialty bra stores. We have a few boutique bra shops in my area of pittsburgh and they have a decent selection of nursing bras. I know they cater to larger bust sizes as well. So see if that may work for you as well
best of luck to you, and add me as a friend if you would like.
hugs
Cheryl
