tat would be awesome! Did you purchase a kit or do it al yourself?

I bought the yarn and wood base separate. Both from different vendors on Etsy

Girl, I'm the same with waiting at the last minute. For my first, I had my husband build the crib while I was in labor 😅

I'm currently 32 weeks and have 2 crochet blankets that I'm supposed to have done before baby is born, and I haven't even touched them since the beginning of my pregnancy.

Mind sharing the link to the bottom piece?

Kudos to you! I don’t think I have the patience or attention span to crochet blankets

This is the link for the bottom piece but I did not have a good experience ordering from them. It came a week late and when I started to put the first piece of yarn through the hole it stained my yarn because the holes were so dirty and had some type of black residue in it so my husband had to clean it each hole before I can start the project. Also the holes are super small .. I had to do some extra stuff to get the yarn through because I used the 9mm yarn and the needle I’m using is 12mm. If I do this again I would trace the mattress that is be using for baby and then trace it on some plywood at Home Depot or something and (have my hubby) drill my own holes.

@kathy Hehe, yeah, they can take a while. I think the reason I'm not feeling rushed is because I already have the one I'm going to use at the hospital. It's the same one I made and used for my first and second, so of course, I have to use it for my 3rd.

I did make one at the start of this pregnancy, but it was only to try out a pattern and wasn't meant to be for this baby. I'll probably sell it in my shop.

Avatar

@kathy oh see, I was curious because my husband has a laser machine, and I mentioned to him that this would be a good product to make. Yeah, that's not good that they didn't even clean the holes for you! The laser machine burns and leaves that black residue. They should have properly cleaned it for you. Especially since it's meant for a baby. Smh.

Amazing! I planned to do this but never got to it.

Avatar

I didn’t check to see how many orders they’ve fulfilled but you would definitely be some competition for them. I was looking for a vendor that made them this size but bigger holes and couldn’t find it so I settled with this base

So cute I love that idea!! I’m crocheting a baby blanket for my baby boy 🥰 it’s so nerve racking trying to finish the project before they are here lol

Avatar

yes!! I have to keep reminding myself like ok I can still keep working on it even after she gets here lol 😆

Avatar

thanks! It’s called braided cord I think. It’s 9mm.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help
