 CHLOE-OSULLIVAN said: I got mine from Ikea. My parents bought that an the mattress for us and it was only $400 all up but they got us the most expensive cot. I know in Australian Ikeas you can get one for $99. They all turn in to toddler beds, they are regular size and sturdy.

I looked on their website and they look so iffy :/ I think I'll be taking a trip to Ikea to see them in person :)

 CONUNDRUMSWITHCORA said: i really like my co-sleeper! it’s small enough that it fits really well next to the bed but there’s still plenty of room for her to grow with it. it also converts to a playpen but you can use that part as storage underneath when it’s in bassinet form

hmm.. I like the idea of more storage, lol.

 HIPPYPOTTER said: I’m my trying to sway you I just wanted to give my two cents. I personally LOVE cosleeping. It makes breatfeeding so much easier and it helps Ellia sleep at night by being so close to me. As long as you have a co sleeper there’s nothing to worry about.

is there any way for her to roll over onto the bed? or is the surface of the bed higher than the surface of the cosleeper?

conundrumswithcora said: i am convinced this happens to every man while on deployment because they literally have nothing else to do (when they’re not working) but work out and get enormous…. my husband was a cocky asshole too.

that sounds great! what are you going to do with nathan?

i didnt feel pain so much at the top but that was where i felt the tightness the most and it made it really hard to breathe.

It’s all about what kind of pain you’re “used to”. With my severe stomach pains, I honestly wasn’t even sure I was in labor. It was “normal” right up until they broke my water at 7cm. Then it hurt like crazy. Stay Positive! Your lo is almost here!

See, i thought i'd be fine because i've had chronic pain for years and I had kidney stones and that was the worst pain ever...until now. ha!

You’re still strong! Just because you can’t handle it doesn’t mean anything less about you. Congrats!

oops i just asked if you were getting one haha. don’t beat yourself up, it makes for a great labor! or at least it did for me. it allowed me to get some rest before i had to push and i slept through dilating from 4 to 10 cm.
