Hello everyone.

Sorry for being quiet (very unusual for me!!), but we left Austria on Saturday morning and traveled to Germany to stay with my Godparents for the night before flying back this morning and just got home earlier today. Wow, it's so nice to be home! It doesn't matter how good a holiday is, there's always something so comforting about getting home isn't there? Nat was a little angel on the flight and slept for half of it, and just sat and played with a spoon for the other half (there were loads of empty spaces so we got a seat for him as well even though he should have been on our knee).

We're off to the inlaws for a roast dinner in an hour, which to be honest is the last thing I feel like doing but FIL picked us up from the airport and MIL is having Nat this week while I'm at work so we can't really say no! She hasn't seem him since Christmas and usually sees him several times a week (they live 500m away) so she is just desperate to see him. I'm very lucky in the my inlaws are absolute stars and we get on perfectly (probably better than I do with my own parents!)

So, scan tomorrow But we're not finding out the sex I'm not going to be naughty and find out anyway this time. We've got names now though - Hannah Lindsay or Noah Lee (yes, the Noah idea was reinforced from in here, hope you don't mind!)

Hope everyone is having a good weekend xx

Hi ladies
Can i ask if anyone is thinking about the bugaboo donkey?

 

[Kerrieann]

Hi everyone! Had a lovely chilled weekend, Jude is ill yet again, seems to be well for 4 days at a time then gets ill, hes on his 3rd set of anti-biotics in 2 months!!

@Michelle, we looked at it, i love it but a tad too pricey, i love the icandy peach blossom too. Have been recommended the Nipper 360 by a lots of mums, so need to look at that too x

Loving the name choices - Hope all goes well in your scan today

Hi ladies

LOL. Yes... I am thinking about the Bugaboo Donkey.. mostly thinking how my hubby will NEVER allow me to spend that much on a pram. Booooo! It's gorgeous isn't it

Hi everyone! Had a lovely chilled weekend, Jude is ill yet again, seems to be well for 4 days at a time then gets ill, hes on his 3rd set of anti-biotics in 2 months!!

Happy Monday all xxx

 

[Kerrieann]

Hes got an ear infection and sore throat, its his 4th ear infection and hes just prone to it now i guess, hes always ill if its not his ears its a chest/throat infection! Its made him so clingy and hes not slept through in months because of it, its just so exasting and stressfull, cant put him down and cant get nothing done in the house! Its relly making me stress about when the new baby is here x

 

[vicky125]

thanks kitty.. we had one today.. we have it if we want.

its a 3 bedroom house, which is all we need for the moment and move in date is next monday BUT its in an apartment complex, top level with no elevator so a) when we move we will be lugging everything up the stairs, and some of the stuff is really heavy, and b) when i want to go out i have to take the pram up and down the stairs.... so i have to make a decision.. we still have 4 lined up for wednesday so its a decision we have to make soon

 

[Meredith2010]

Poor babe. Fin's not had an ear infection yet but he did have an awful chest infection before Christmas which was plain scary... we had to rush him to A&E as his breathing got so bad and he went off all fluids. I hope he feels better soon xx

I'd see the others before making a choice love. I'd NEVER cope with getting a baby, toddler AND wheels up and down stairs :/ xx

Thank you :-D I think I'm on your facebook but not announcing it until after the scan tomorrow.

I'm very excited and happy but a nervous wreck. I had a horrible pregnancy last time - every problem in the book and probably more too. Then was induced early and my labour/birth can only be described as horrendous. Then my LO was low birth weight and had severe colic/reflux and I had PND too! And LO was in and out of hospital until she was 5 months old with issues with her weight and refusal to feed. So we didn't have an easy time.

I'm absolutely LOVING it now though, this is what being a Mummy is all about. My LO makes me laugh and smile from morning until night, she's the light of my life!

I am loving it so much that I am a bit scared about the future, I am worried that I will have a realy tough time again and it will ruin this amazing thing I have going with LO and OH right now. I'm worried I won't love this baby as much as LO as I can't imagine anyone ever coming close. Worried about the birth too and mainly the constant visitors, lack of sleep, trying to keep things normal for my toddler etc. And of course worried about reflux again! Excited about giving breastfeeding another shot though although if I have another early/small and reflux/colic baby and PND I won't tear myself apart this time if I have to switch to formula after a few weeks.

We are moving house in 4 weeks too which is going to be hell. Everything has to be done in 1 day as it's a swap, my LO will be going to Mums but we have to move everything ourselves (we are "Debt Free Wannabees" so can't afford a removal team) and then start painting etc. at the new house. It'll be worth it though for getting out of this council flat though!

How is your pregnancy going? So far First Trimester has been harder than last time. I've had heavy bleeding throughout so had 2 scans already and I've also had terrible fatigue and all day sickness and nausea, it's fading now though! I also get yucky coldsores (like 6+ at a time) when pregnant so I can't wait for that to be over. And awful trapped wind - so bad that I can't move sometimes, yesterday I was comparing it to labouring! Jeez I better stop moaning haha. It's super hard being pregnant with a 1 year old and working 3 full days too. How are you coping? xx

 

[jaybee]

Congrats on pink... That is brilliant.

Do u think we should have a list on the front page of who is having who and when?

I am off today as we fly off to France tomorrow to see the n-laws, so am trying to tidy and clean and pack. But I am so full of cold and coughing so much I think I might bring a lung up!! So it's not going as well as planned....feeling rather sorry for myself!
