Has anyone cleaned/sterilized a pack 'n play? We picked one up second hand to keep and my moms house and DH is having a stroke over it. If I can clean it, I think he'll calm down. The interwebs are saying to submerge it in the bath with a detergent/vinegar/baking soda concoction. Has anyone had success with this method?

I go in at 5pm on Nov. 1st and hopefully have a baby by the 2nd! When I talked to DD about it she said, "November 1st is the day after Halloween, right? Phew! I don't think I could handle Halloween and a birthday!" So, I suppose we made the right, but boring, choice.

birdsofafeather , so was your CW looking for new jobs while committing to covering your leave? That's crap. I'm sorry you have to deal with the stress of this right now. She said she was looking but didn't think anything would come of it because of her age (60's)? The new position is paying her 1$ more and hour but the benifits they offer are slightly more... seriously? You couldn't have just waited until, 1. I was gone and didn't have to stress this or 2. Came back from leave? It is ONE DOLLAR MORE!!!! I just can't... I will give you the f'ing dollar an hour to not deal

When I worked at a daycare we cleaned them with bleach water. I think soaking would be more effective.

It worked! The water was vile.

birdsofafeather, that is super frustrating! I am kind of worried something like that will happen to me to, however, my work is being spread over a number of people, and my leave is 1 year, so there is way more time to screw around (and it won't effect me). Sorry beefinch, that sounds really annoying. Don't worry about your coke and chocolate too much though AnnPerkins, YAY! There's something so exciting about knowing the date... at least when I don't have that opportunity! roloma, glad you're feeling a bit more sane today I had a nice night last night, left work early. Went for steak with DH and ice cream. Folded a bit more baby clothes and put them away.

Hi! DD has an ear infection and I had the day off so she is home with me. We are relaxing, not a bad day at all. And I think she is feeling better, despite only starting abx this morning. I will attempt to catch up now.

But ours was only used by DD. Maybe I should look into doing this tub method though....

beefinch sorry about all the back in forth. It is so frustrating to just not have some answers/a plan. Plus the confusion about what you should be eating. Hopefully your medical team gets their shit together!

Omg so full from lunch. I told dh that he has to go grocery shopping on his own lol I'm just too full.
We have all of our outfits ready for pictures on Sunday! Yay. I'm excited. They all seem to complement one another, which was my goal. I'm taking ds for his flu shot next week and will up my nagging of dh to get his too.
I think this kid moved back up or is just really long (I have a relatively short torso). I received many kicks to the ribs while I was devouring my lunch and then when my belly was in the sun during the car ride home.

Im also getting uncomfortable sitting in a normal sitting position lately. I have to lean back or I feel like everything is squished. I'm also getting super full super fast which sucks because I want food!!! I cant eat as much as I want lol

librarylady, wow, I think that puts you first!! Congrats on getting a date. Glad your daughter seems to be feeling better thatgolfb, enjoy your relaxing day! Met my mom for lunch today and she brought me a present from her neighbour, a homemade baby quilt! So nice for someone I basically never see and hardly know.

Put the kids down for quiet time. I need a break. We were busy every morning this week, had my son's bday party yesterday, his actual bday is today. It's just been crazy.
I need a break. I just need to lay down.

I too, am extra full from lunch, and I need to pick up DD, pack up her bag (mine and DH's are done already) and then we are driving 4+ hours to see my family in NY. I just want a nap. Oh and DH is at an afternoon retirement party where I'm sure he has been indulging in some alcoholic beverages so guess who gets to drive?

I don't feel like things are squished leaning over my desk but the weight pulling forward is killing my upper back lately.

Had an OB appt this morning. Baby is still head down and I'm measuring a week ahead. She checked my cervix cause of all the contractions, still closed so that's good.
I have my 3d ultrasound tomorrow! The boys are so excited to see their new brother 😀

beefinch I'm sorry about all the uncertainty. I feel the same way about my GD diagnosis...hey, medical professionals, please tell me definitively if I have this disease. Who knew there was this much room for interpretation?

TMI...
I was reading the FFFC in General Discussion...and I realized I am now in the phase where I cannot fathom having sex. Like, the thought of anyone touching me makes me cringe. And I've been on pelvic rest for like 2 months now...not really missing it.

I can't wait to get my libido back
