So I will be due on May 13th and I have a dilemma. I have 3 dogs that I absolutely love, and considers family, but i don't know if it'll be manageable with a newborn. I am very hopeful that everything will be fine, but the husband seems to think otherwise. The problem is that they bark a lot when visitors come in the house. They even bark out of excitement when we come home to them. Now I don't live in a big house or anything where I can put them outside in a backyard or anything. They're in their fenced metal play pen right in the front living room when we first open the door. My family and friends are very concerned about their barking and possibly always waking the baby up when he's asleep. Is there any way that I can train them to not bark as much? Has anybody been thru the same problem? How can I get them to be used to the baby?? I really don't want to have to get rid of any of them????

Does anyone have any advice from previous experience or heard, about out of town family (in-laws) visiting? How do I nicely say that coming to visit us in the first week and staying a few days is too much??

I woke up about 2.30 am with strong contractions. I get lots of Brakston Hicks but this were the real thing as were quite painful. Also (tmi) diarrhoea, nausea and the worse heartburn I ever experienced. After I felt its safe to move from the bathroom it all stopped tho so I when back to bed as im 33+5 weeks i felt a bit scared and nervous but I'm seeing my midwife today so I will mention this to her. What's wrong with all them may babies not wanting to be born in may? Lol

The difference between just vaginal discharge and possibly leaking fluid or even your water breaking and not know it? I'm a ftm obviously and have been having a very thin discharge... Tmi sorry. I don't know if its just the regular discharge u expierence or possibly that I'm leaking fluid and that wouldn't be good. Just need some of you expierenced moms advice and opinion on what this might be. Ill probably be going to the dr tomorrow because I don't wanna ignore it if it could possibly be a bad thing.
Oh and I'm 34 weeks btw

Any advice much appreciated! First if all do I need a baby monitor? Baby will be sleeping with us in their Moses basket, and the Moses basket will be moved around the house with us for the first few months. My plan was to get a monitor when bub goes into their own room, but do I need one now?
Bath thermometer... Good old elbow test good enough? Or are the thermometers an essential?
Room thermometer.... Are these essential?
I am quite happy to buy everything if I need it! But as a ftm I am very aware that I could go completely OTT and buy way too much! Lol :)

About cleaning. I havnt had a job for about 5.5 months (not for lack of trying) and apperently that automatically turns me into the maid service. My husband and I live with my mom becaus of financial issues. They both work and I am at home all day with 4 dogs. My mother thinks that because they dont work it is my responsibility to clean up after everyone, do the dishes vaccume and sweep the floors eveyday, make sure things are taken care of and the house doesnt get dirty. I cook breakfast lunch and dinner and take care the dogs by myself. If I skip on dishes for even one night my mom is up my ass. I understand that we live with her and my husband and I need to pick up after ourselves, but I get absoloutly no help. If I ask him for help cleaning she tells him not to because he worked all day. So finally I got fed up and vented to him about how I feel like I am being taken advantage of all the time. A few mins later I hear him slaming things around in the kitchen. I went in there and could clearly tell he was pissed off. But he was doing the dishes. I told him I really appreciated it and he wont say a single word to me. Childish much? Sorry ladies, I just needed a good vent and dont have anywhere or anyone else to go to.

Okay, so I drank the bottle at home. while driving to my appointment to draw my blood I took 2 small sips of water. I live in AZ and its hot! I was dehydrated and couldn't help it.
Update, I failed the test. I'm now taking the 3 hr test.
