* when & where do I start..???! *
okay, so I'll be 15 weeks this Friday, 25 ftm, and I'm at that point where I'm starting to wonder when is the best time to start getting the baby stuff, and what do I need to have by certain times?
I'm pretty sure I'll have at least one baby shower.. this will by my parent's first grand baby (I'm an only child now, my brother passed away back in 1996) so I'll be the only grand baby maker for them! needless to say, he/she may be a little spoiled, BUT I don't want to wait until the last minute for anything.. at least not the simple things. plus, I'm not ashamed to say I've always been independent, and *I* want to buy my baby plenty of stuff too.. but I don't even know what to put on the baby registry? do I include big stuff.. like bassinet, crib, etc. or just small stuff like clothes, bottles, wipes, etc.???
I'm NOT stressing, but I just keep telling myself, "okay, let's just make sure the baby is okay at THIS ultrasound.. then we'll start buying stuff.." I don't want to be that way.. I don't want to keep expecting our baby to not have a heart beat, but of course it's every woman's fear..
do I start stocking up on diapers now? wait until the 20 week mark? wipes, bassinet, onesies, etc.??
oh my, this stuff is coming up so much quicker than I expected!!! lol
thank all of you ladies, keep praying for us, we love you so much!!!! ((((: ❤

You take it between 24-28 weeks... you drink a sugary drink in 5 min wait an hour and have a blood test.
the diet isnt so, so bad... just keep carbs under 30g per meal (or try), cut out most fried foods, soda, most juices, and sweets (I want a banana split!) But I hate having to check my blood sugar.. my poor fingers

Yes buy breast pads! U will need a few not a lot though.
oh wow!! you're almost at the finish line!!! congratulations!!
I'm sure that is super hard for you too then having gestational diabetes.. when exactly do I have to take that test?!
I've been tested for diabetes before, and I HATED it!! lol totally not looking forward to that..

Lol... I'll be 35 weeks tomorrow :) I lost a considerable amount of weight in the beginning and having to modify my diet to low carbs and sugars hasn't helped me gain any weight at all (cause I have gestational diabetes)
well hearing about your weight makes me feel a lot better.. I swear up & down to my OB that I eat, my fiancé knows I eat as much as I can.. I literally take breaks & force bite by bite down! - how far along are you???
& you're right, it's not for everybody - I say that I'll try, but I know I probably won't. my mama didn't BF, but I think my daddy's mama did.. I guess it's just not for me. "/ I wish you the best of luck though! I have a girlfriend that did, not sure if she still does, but seeing it was amazing.. but it also reassured me that I probably won't do it lol
