Thanks Kens! Yeah, I’m liking their stuff a lot. Not stupid expensive, solidly made, and pretty attractive looking too.
I’m not about going bankrupt buying those ridiculously overpriced “status” crap. Seriously, Some people told me I JUST HAD to get this specific stroller and when I looked at it the thing was over a grand. I mean come on, there is no f’in way.
She’s fine(ish?). We went for the last of the anatomy scans on Friday where they basically sonogram you to look at all of the babies organs to see if they’re forming properly.
Everything was a check + except…
She was turned face down and sideways so they couldn’t get a full scan of her heart. They saw all four chambers and the right ventricle but her positioning prevented them from seeing the left ventricle which according to the doctors is kinda an important part. As her put it, it’s a little more critical than not seeing all five fingers on a hand.
So, they proceeded to try to reposition her for the next half hour. That entails pretty much full on leaning on my belly in the hopes that she’ll decide to flip around. I literally felt like I was in a fight and had been kicked and punched in the gut for the next 3 days. I felt so bruised on the insides.
Anyhoo, “Princepessa Contrary Diva Pants” (this name seems to be the most fitting at the moment) wouldn’t budge. She’d flail her arms and legs in angry fits but no repositioning (remember last time she wouldn’t let them see her face so they could do the nose measurement as part of the Downs indicators??).
So, I have to go to see a fetal heart specialist where they can try to do another sonogram and/or an echo cardiogram on the fetus to make sure it’s all kosher.
I’m told not to worry everything should be just fine they just want to be positive.
Ah- another day, another slap at the Obamas. Oh wait- let’s talk about the other Michelle- Bachmann that is, and the mad hatter tea party last week she ran last week with the lovely signage. Yes- because you can always make a great argument by insulting people and using images of the Holocaust. (especially if your argument sucks). And a big shout out to the Rothschilds.
THL, you’re going into my area of expertise now lol.
Graco is a great company for this stuff. I would suggest their strollers AND their cribs. IKEA seems to lack in quality for cribs. I recall reading about problems with them not too long ago but I need to search for the articles a bit since it’s not my direct consumer research category. Stick with Graco. Great solid company (Disclaimer: I don’t work for Graco).
“As her put it,…”
s/b: As HE put it,
I suppose when “Princepessa Contrary Diva Pants” gets comfy, there’s no moving her!
THL;
Best wishes.

“Princepessa Contrary Diva Pants”
ROFL!
i like the people who keep their kids in papooses (sp?) strapped to their bodies like a bomb as opposed to strollers which i guess get in peoples way.
*rob*
No, I forgot about those!
