[hodbert]

Name: Ali

What are you most looking forward to: Not being pregnant seeing as I'll have spent the best part of 2 years (and all of my married life) pregnant Nat having a little brother or sister to play with and protect. Seeing that first smile and hearing that first giggle again

Ali I knw that feeling, I feel like I've not had a break from being pregnant!! Two Christmases in a row now!

Kerri, Holly is doing great thanks for asking, she's just started walking, I thought crawling was hard work! How are your two little men doing?

 

[Amzily]

Name: Ami

Age: 23

Relationship status: Married

Occupation: Family Law Clerk

Children: My little princess Chloe who is six months old

Due date: 25th June

Sex of baby: Unknown at present

Age gap between babies: Expected to be one week off 12 months!

What are you most looking forward to: I am looking forward to when my babies are both in a routine and I know I can manage them both! Seeing them playing together will be cute too!

What are you most nervous/worried about: I'm worried that I wont be able to spend as much time with Chloe. I'm worried that I love Chloe so much I don't know how I will ever love another baby as much as her. I am worried that I won't be able to cope with two tiny ones, my husband has a severe back problem and can't help me too much with Chloe. I am worried about money. I am worried about the birth. Worried about everything lol!

Anything else you'd like to add: I hope to come back to this in a years time and laugh at all my worries and be thankful for my two beautiful children.

Age gap between babies: Just over 14 months

What are you most looking forward to: Being at an age where they can play together and getting them into a routine, both sleeping through the night would be good and Christmas 2012.

What are you most nervous/worried about: quite a lot really in order, will be releived knowing that baby is healthy, having quality time with both babies, Niah feeling left out, lack of sleep (Niah wakes up at least 3 times a week still), recovering from cs and how much weight I am gaining.

[KittyVentura]

Well hello hello ladies. Lookie here... we got our own group. Hurrahhhhh! I'm looking forward to getting to know you all. Seems a lot of us share the same concerns so hopefully this place will be a great support network for each other knowing we all feel the same lol.

How are we all today? 3 sleeps until my scan date... really hoping baby is co-operative and shows his/her bits xxxx

 

[KittyVentura]

Oh also, I found this product and thought it was AMAZING as Fin already prefers to walk when out and only has short rests in the buggy so would save us switching up to a double... but sods law... doesn;t fit on my bloody Quinny. Might help some of you though. There's a link in the specs to a PDF with pretty much all pushchairs on and says whether or not it will work for you xx

https://www.buggypod.com/buggypod_io_specifications.php

 

[browneyes121]

Oooo that looks good but I don't think it fits onto the iCandy. We're hoping to use a mixture of the pram and the sling and I'm on the lookout on eBay for a cheap double to use on days out, like the zoo etc when they both might want to use it.

 

[KittyVentura]

Yeah we're hoping for a mix of baby wearing & buggy will work for us but I think a double will be unavoidable for shopping trips etc with our age gap. Doh xx

 

[browneyes121]

Yeah, a double will be needed but I've been told not to even dream about anything fancy. I think this was after we found out it will cost £500 to convert my iCandy to a double- such a massive rip off.
It's weird not thinking about buying for this baby, we literally don't need a thing, we didn't find out Imogen's sex so have plenty of neutral clothes, already have a crib, bouncy chair, steriliser etc. By this point in my pregnancy before, I had lists of stuff to buy, boxes full of clothes. But I can't justify it this time round. Oh and we have no room either! I went through immies wardrobe yesterday an found three blankets that still have tags on, so they're this baby's first items! X

 

[Meredith2010]

I have to admit I'm slightly addicted to buying pushchairs and car seats. Although in my defence, I mainly go for second hand pushchairs (not car seats!) from Ebay so have saved a fortune.

We currently have a single travel system and single 3 wheeler off roader for Nat, and have also bought a twin 3 wheeler and a tandem travel system for when the new one joins us so 4 in total so far. They do all have their own purpose those

And I won't go into the car seats.....!!

Hi everyone, it is great to have a little group to chat in!
We have out 20 week scan on Tuesday, very excited as we are hoping to find out if we are pink or blue. We didn't with Tobi, so it's a little different. Although if lumpy's previous scan is anything to go by, she won't be laying in the right place!!

 

[KittyVentura]

Welcome Vicky, nice to meet you

We have our scan on Tues too. At 2pm. If baby is unco-ooerative we'llbe having a private scan next weekend... we hope. Fingers crossed for babies that like to flash their bits xx
