Q: Only Ten More Days to Go!! Woo Hoo!

I have only ten more days to go. I am so nervous and excited. My Dr. Checked me today and I am 80-90% dilated one cm! The baby hasn't dropped yet though. I can't believe how far i've come!

Does anyone experience their tummy itching? Mine does- I try to scratch. Very gently though!

Can anyone tell me what the best way is to sterilize bottles? Just throw them in a boiling pot for five minutes?? I'll eventually get an avent bottle steamer sterilizer- from a relative as a gift, but not until after baby arrives. (they're expensive- around $75)

thanks,
~ctrule :)

Congradulations!!!! I have two and half weeks to go myself. This is my second and hoping I go early. (like all moms-to-be do)

with sterilzing bottles just gently boil them for about five or so minutes. And allow them to cool. I think I only sterlized my daughters bottles the first time we ever used them and then I always stuck them in the dishwasher. Trust me that thing get hot enough.

Well, good luck to you and your little one!!!

Hey

just make sure you wash the bottles and then sterilize them and dont let formula out too long the stuff stinks lol!!!

I breastfeed or about 2 weeks continously and just had non stop problems, elisa wasnt latching, my boob were killing me although she was getting milk so by one month she was on formula completly. Btw you still have time for shopping you just bring baby with you, its an adjusting period, the one thing I found really funny was when I brought elisa out in the beggining everyone wanted to see her and hold her. Dont worry you will be fine like I said its adjusting to a new life go for lots of walks and go out dont let your life down just adjust it with baby...........


I fianlly went and got a double stroller and I dont have my full driver license so im going to be stuck with walks around the block lol!! If you need to know anything about after having the baby send me a pm ill try and help best as possible

congrats!!!!

Jess
