[CherylC3]

[arlene]

Happy St Andrews Day ladies!! xx

 

[lj2245]

Happy St Andrews Day to you too!

How's everyone doing?

I've been feeling baby move at last! Still sick though! xx

 

[lj2245]

Yay! Not long until you're getting big kicks!

I'm not bad. Got my flu jab today. Almost finished decorating the living room too I think I'll be done painting and wallpapering tonight so just to clean after that and build the new furniture Then put the Xmas tree and decs up

Been having a hard time sleeping. Stephen keeps waking me up snoring. I'm not sure if it's because I'm sleeping lighter because of my sore hips or if Stephen has suddenly started snoring really loudly but it's driving me mad. I think I'll have to make him sleep on the couch when he's on early shifts. It's not so bad when he's on back shift because he can get Shaun up to school and I can sleep on but when he's starting at 7 I need to get up early.

We got our pram the other day My MIL paid for it! I nearly died when she offered. I just wanted a basic one with everything included so went for the Mothercare Trenton Deluxe which has pram, carrycot, buggy, car seat, foot muff, changing bag, snack tray, cup holders, temperature monitor and a clock! Canny beat it for £230!! It's getting delivered towards the end of this week.

We have a list of names. We so wanted to call the baby George but it just doesn't go with our surname, sadly. Now we have Freddie, Rory, Nathan, Benjamin, Samuel and Rudy Hopefully one will suit our wee baby when he's born

Hi ladies. Sorry I havent been on in ages! We've been trying to get the last bits and bobs done for putting our flat on the market. Getting the home report done tomorrow and the photos done on friday. Hoping to move before baby arrives.

Laura that's an amazing deal for your pram!!! We're gonna have to look at car seats very carefully. I drive a Daewoo Matiz, the seatbelt in the back is a bit short and we can't disable the airbag in the front.

Well I had my 20 week scan today! And the chinese gender calendar was wrong for me as well cos we're having a boy!! Everything is growing well and he looks as well as he should. It's slowly sinking in that we can talk about him now instead of it!!

Hope everyone is well. xx

 

[lj2245]

Aww congrats Another wee boy!! Must have been something in the water in Scotland hehe

The car seat I got is compatible with the Graco Baby car seat base and it's only £29 so I'll be getting one for each car. Nothing worse than having to strap the seatbelt round the seat every time! Daewoo's are tiny so I would be careful too if I were you. I thought about getting one when I got my car, they look like you can park them nose to the pavement hehe I'm rubbish at parallel parking!

 

[bbymc]

Bet your glad your nearly finished decorating Laura! You'll be all tidy and Christmassy just in time! Wish I could say the same. We still have loads of stuff to put away!

No wonder you nearly died when your MIL offered to pay for the pam. Maybe she's seen the light?! Lol. Sounds like you got a great deal though! We got a travel system second hand but we're gona buy an everyday lighter buggy new. Not a clue which one. It's a bit of a minefield!

Congrats on the scan Arlene. You gona post pics of the wee man for us to admire? Can't believe its another boy. That's 4 boys, 1 girl so far. Makes me desperate to know what I'm having lol. Gland everything is going well though.

Laura, what a lovely selection of names! I think we might have a short list now too. Although every time we talk about it, Ryan changes his mind lol. Any name ideas yet Arlene? Xx

 

[arlene]

Will get a pic on soon girls! Our boys name was decided way before we even fell pregnant. He will be James Michael Tonner James is after OH's uncle who passed away about 7 years ago and Michael is after my uncle who passed away almost 5 years ago. Both were very important to each of us and we wanted to celebrate their memories. xx

 

[lj2245]

Oh I wish I were nearly done decorating lol. I still have the hall and nursery to do! Our hall is massive too, huge hall, stairs that go round in an L shape and a massive landing. Not looking forward to glossing all the doors and skirting!! I have about 3 strips of wallpaper still to hang in the living room. My back is killing me though so I'm going to have a wee rest and watch Hollyoaks

 

[bbymc]

Yikes. Maybe you'll only be finished the living room for Xmas then! Make sure you don't overdo it though. You don't wana be injured over Xmas!

Arlene, James michael is a lovely strong name! I love it! We're thinking of possibly naming baby Something Christopher if its a boy, after my cousin who died 11 years ago when I was 16 and he was 17. Not totally decided yet though x

 

[lj2245]

Living room is done! Just to fit the ceiling light and clean now! Oh...and I need to sort all the wires out but thinking I might put them under the carpet

I am knackered but it's soooo worth it

 

[CherylC3]

[arlene]

Hi ladies. How are we all? Sorry I've not had a chance to get my scan pic up yet. We've spent the week gutting our flat to get the home report and photos done to get it on the market. Thankfully that's it done so will try and get a pic on this weekend.

anyone got their Christmas tree up yet? We're doing it this weekend xx

 

[lj2245]

I did mine last night. Shaun and Stephen have been moaning to have it up since October haha so I finally gave in now the living room is done Still got to decorate and put the tree up in the dining room though. We have a thing here where I get the posh, nicely decorated tree in the living room (and the nice xmas ornaments) and they get to have a trashy one in the dining room with lots of cartooney decorations all over the place. They also get to have tinsel in there too haha.

 

[Kaybee]

Arlene Yay for team blue looking forward to seeing your pics.

We put our christmas tree up last weekend - its just a little fibre optic one.

Got my 3D scan booked for Wed next week. Excited to see my little boy. Wonder if we will catch him doing the star jumps I think he keeps doing In other news I am starting to struggle to tie my laces on my snow boots
