I discovered that booster seat thing just about 6 months ago and felt like I wasted my money on that high chair! The Angel Care monitor is the best! I didn't read all the comments, but make sure you put a piece of thin wood board underneath it, then the sensor pad then the mattress. Can't wait to find out Flip's name!Samiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16522268688478109593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-12155174633784127492011-12-20T19:29:21.920-06:002011-12-20T19:29:21.920-06:00Congrats on the purchases.

I found that while scary as hell, it did help me get excited about everything which is certainly what a pregnant woman, especially one in your shoes, deserves! We had a run of the mill monitor before and also got an AngelCare one. I have gotten a false alarm, but I think it is worth the comfort it gives me the other 99% of the time. I love watching Finn and knowing he is ok. I'm so happy to see all your purchases for sweet little Flip - cute nickname by the way - can't wait to see HIM!Carolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00101380791416834049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-57245598776823695092011-12-20T11:02:30.814-06:002011-12-20T11:02:30.814-06:00How interesting that we have very similar taste in...How interesting that we have very similar taste in baby items :-) I love our Keekaroo high chair, Micralite Toro, and Didymous wrap. Our DD's crib was next to our bed until she was 10 months old - makes breastfeeding and returning to sleep easy!<br /><br />You've got me interested in learning more about cord blood banking. I'm in favor of waiting until the cord finishes pulsing before clamping, to avoid the VitK shot (we declined all bathing, shots, and eye ointment to benefit better breastfeeding, etc) and to boost DD's health. How much blood is needed? Can some be retrieved from the placenta?<br /><a href="http://www.thehealthyhomeeconomist.com/warning-fetal-cord-blood-banking/" rel="nofollow">Healthy Home Economist</a><br /><a href="http://www.childbirthwithlove.com/controversy.html" rel="nofollow">Childbirth With Love</a><br /><a href="http://midwifeinfo.com/articles/cord-clamping--please-wait" rel="nofollow">Midwife Info</a>Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07109615964419461588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-3417131432827896962011-12-19T22:51:50.401-06:002011-12-19T22:51:50.401-06:00Dear Paranoid Mommy,

We even took it on our 'sleep over' at the hospital before Kaia came home from the NICU. The whole point of doing the 'stay over' when your baby is coming home from the NICU is to get comfortable without them being hooked up to monitors... HA!!! NO WAY!!!! I think the nurses thought we were crazy but they've probably never been DBMs. Just make sure any sleeping surface you plan to put your little munchkin on has a flat solid bottom under the mattress. If it is a surface with slats then the flat monitor sensor might not work. <br />Also I LOVE your high chair. With Kaia going into a cast in a few weeks we might need something exactly like that as it has a wide enough opening for her legs which will be casted in 'frog' position.<br />All in all, I say you're looking good!zooblflothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05345439105319050907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-60203179907075648392011-12-19T11:29:14.683-06:002011-12-19T11:29:14.683-06:00Love everything!

I am very paranoid these days so I will be purchasing a higher end baby monitor also. And that highchair is awesome.

Its a breathing monitor that can be worn at all times. I've learned that sometimes newborns dont want to sleep where you want them too. We have the angelcare in Alexa's crib but she mostly wants to sleep in her rock n play. I feel better letting her sleep there with the snuza.<br /><br />10 weeks! I hope it flies by for you.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06469312664920124105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-16136988980363655562011-12-19T09:19:46.362-06:002011-12-19T09:19:46.362-06:00I am SO jealous of your high chair!

Julius LOVED it. he just loved being close and carried. he was always content in it. and always fell asleep. i didn't think D would wear it, but he did. we ended up with the snuza monitor for this one instead of the angel care. though i heard both were really great.<br /><br />btw, can you tell me what company you guys chose for the cord blood banking. we really need to get on making that selection.Tiffanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17906643480459302192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-39898306023611244732011-12-19T08:05:46.837-06:002011-12-19T08:05:46.837-06:00We have a lot of the same things for Mason that yo...We have a lot of the same things for Mason that you guys got- and we purchased most of it towards the end of my pregnacy as I didn't have them with Aiden. The AngelCare monitor was the first on my list- we got the silver one- and Mason is wiggling around in his Co Sleeper right now.<br /><br />The last few weeks of pregnancy with Mason were so very hard. I had constant fear because when you lose a chid at almost 37 weeks there is no "safe" zone in your mind. I just tried to take it one day at a time. My twice a week visits helped a lot. <br /><br />Praying for you guys as you go through these last 10 weeks and praying for a healthy baby and safe delivery.Natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184755821618457912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-32272261659823694572011-12-19T04:56:18.348-06:002011-12-19T04:56:18.348-06:00I still have no idea how I did it!

I desperately wanted to with G but we just couldn't afford it. If we got to a place where we could I absolutely would. We had an angel care with G and I ADORED that thing. It may have been the only reason I slept. We just bought that thermometer so I can't review it yet. The ear ones are completely inaccurate with G and the only one that was honest was the rectal one. But she's really too old for that now if something else will work so fingers crossed.Ameliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07115154893444857726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-40941185819816807372011-12-18T21:40:18.364-06:002011-12-18T21:40:18.364-06:00You've got me thinking about the high chair si...You've got me thinking about the high chair situation. We have one, in the pattern we love (the carter's bumble), but that one's so purdy. :)<br /><br />I have been browsing BabyGap & Old Navy, along with GiltGroup and Zulily for girl things since Friday's gender reveal. I gotta say, I always thought girl things were sweeter (dresses/sequins/"I love daddy" things, but right now it seems like the boy stuff is in it for the win. ha.<br /><br />Ps. If my baby girl is anything like her mother, you definitely need to enroll Flip in hockey, too... :)Lj82https://www.blogger.com/profile/01067562341189588336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4558486009931507220.post-92091480438568902902011-12-18T21:23:56.191-06:002011-12-18T21:23:56.191-06:00love the items you have purchased!
