The bumper prevents that. <BR/>I'm sure you, as momma, will know what's best for you.Larahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985150139575475324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710025525856831490.post-51683959917256533722008-06-11T19:52:00.000-05:002008-06-11T19:52:00.000-05:00I heard of Stoller Strides, though have not done i...I heard of Stoller Strides, though have not done it myself.<BR/><BR/>I didn't know you were having another boy. Congrats! Maybe you'll have 3 boys with my 3 girls! Ha.<BR/><BR/>I think you should take belly pics, even if it's only Hubs who takes them...<BR/><BR/>I have heard of the bumper thing, but I think if you secure yours tightly and it's not the real poofy kind, then you're probably fine. <BR/><BR/>Isn't it sentimental to go through little baby stuff again? <BR/><BR/>I love your blog. I wish I had more time to devote to mine to make it more interesting. I guess that can develop over time. <BR/><BR/>Hope you're feeling okay! <BR/><BR/>-LaraLarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00985150139575475324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710025525856831490.post-67726998904229724262008-06-11T12:41:00.000-05:002008-06-11T12:41:00.000-05:00I also second taking the classes..

Not realized I could do it while pregnant I waited until 6 weeks postpartum with baby #2. I loved the classes. Took them for 5 months and then decided to open one myself. Now I get a great work out 3 times a week with my boys! Good luck!!!BePe Babyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982918015529194937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710025525856831490.post-38662925351230094862008-06-11T09:04:00.000-05:002008-06-11T09:04:00.000-05:00I have a near-new bumper you can have if you want ...I have a near-new bumper you can have if you want it. I would not spend a ton because you usually take them off around the 5month mark anyway. It's animals, like aligator/elephant/tiger etc...just babylike-really cute and near new. Got it at Babies R Us 2 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Get photos taken, no matter how. I have 1 photo from each of the boys' pregnancies and regret not having more. I know a photographer in Austin, just don't know how expensive she is. Even if Wil just takes a few of your belly, get some done for yourself, 20 years down the road...you'll want them.Mom2Drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01237120079107535718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710025525856831490.post-80147515307953639712008-06-10T23:02:00.000-05:002008-06-10T23:02:00.000-05:00Hey, my two cents is definitely check out Stroller...Hey, my two cents is definitely check out Stroller Strides. I do it here in Oregon and I've met some super amazing women and my body is rockin' after having 2 babies. <BR/><BR/>You'll love it!Debi S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12336389157463610447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6710025525856831490.post-53373600858561341302008-06-10T22:49:00.000-05:002008-06-10T22:49:00.000-05:00Hi Rebecca, it surely sounds like you are in an en...Hi Rebecca, it surely sounds like you are in an energetic nesting mode. Just thought I would give my two cents, to add my random thoughts to your random thoughts. :) We had crib bumpers for our first but when our second came along they didn't really work for a little girl and I actually found it to be SO much easier to change the sheet and mattress pad without them on there, plus I didn't have to worry about her rolling into them and not getting enough air. But maybe I am paranoid. I figure when they are tiny they can't really move from where you put them and by the time they can then they are tough enough not to be hurt at all by rolling into the crib. As for registering, it may give family some idea of your needs and I think by doing it you may get on some mailing lists from Target and Babies R Us which would provide you with great coupons for months down the road. Have a great night and enjoy these next several weeks as you prepare.Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11007673123765139732noreply@blogger.com
