Hope everyone is having a good day today so far! 
My sister and future SIL are picking me up this morning to take me to COSTO. (a huge and amazing bulk/family size grocery and houshold items store) It's one of my favourite places to go shopping! Especially near Christmas, because they have such cool gift ideas to look at. We don't have a car or a membership, and they have both... so hurray!
Then after COSTCO I'm hoping we'll have time to go to IKEA. They have a low and wide bookself that we want to pick up. We've been slowly picking away at re-organizing our apartment to make room for baby stuff in the nursery and this extra bookcase is one of the things we need to get before we can move more stuff out. So I'm really looking forward to that! The plan was to wait till over Christmas break to start moving stuff, but I've been doing a little bit here and there because I can't wait!
Don't worry! Nothing heavy. The other day I had to move the books from one bookcase to another, but I didn't want to have to carry them. So I piled them onto my wheely computer chair and pushed it down the hall to the next room and then took the books back off and put them on the new shelf. No heavy lifting here.

Hiya everyone, wow lots to catch up on as I've had lots going on and the wedding reception on Saturday!

Mommabrown glad you had a good thanksgiving and got to have some quality time with your kids! It's horrible ur ex is usin it ds like that and putting the poor love through this making him say things like thy! I truly feel for you an our children and hope it all works out in your favour for your family in court!
Ukgirl yay on the scan and lovely idea! Glad you r feeling better!
Lily28 glad you felt baby move and got the reasurance! It's horrible to go a day or so with out feeling anything! It's nerve wrecking!
Doggylover some people are just rude! Don't pay any mind to her! She wants to waste her money to get the same treatment and her own room (whee she will be forgotten about) let her!
Readymom, emotional days are the worst and hope your ok now!
I'm really sorry if I have forgotten anyone I know I probably have
Afm, wedding was yesterday and it was lovely, but I wore heels and an underwire bra and sat in the most uncomfortable chair and was in agony for most the night! Didn't help that Paige was soooo enjoying her self on the dance floor, and I wanted to dance with her but ju couldn't! She was the talk of the party, everyone (even people I don't know) was commenting how lovely and happy and cute she is praising us etc! Made me so proud! But today I feel like a cripple literally, I can hardly walk my back and hips have ceased up!!!!!! 9 days till my scan eeeek!!!! Hope everyone is ok xxxx

I saw, thanks so much! I was starting to wonder if I had just gone mad lol! Another girl also backed us both up. Maybe I was being over sensitive to her response, but sometimes I think people get annoyed when they don't hear what they expected (me included no doubt
)UK girl I LOVE the cupcakes!!!! I can't wait to find out which colour is going to be given out!
Kealz sorry to hear the wedding was a bit of a tough day, and that you are suffering today. But at least you know that you'll produce another little show stealer like Paige and it will all be worth it in the end! I love kids dancing at weddings, cute central!
Readytomum I love ikea, we are getting all our nursery furniture from there, and most of our house stuff in fact is from there!
Afm, it's freeeeezing here! Had a big walk up the local mountain (lol!) today with all my dogs which was super, and I always feel so much better after getting a good bit of exercise

OMG those cupcakes are sooo cute!!!
After a week of a sleepy baby now my LO is moving regularly every afternoon right after tea! Plus I have the suspicion he loooves mandarin oranges!
Let me vent a little:
I have this friend and neighbor that she has an 1 year old daughter, and it is a blessing to have at least 1 woman friend that became a mother so recently. So I invited her for tea yesterday to chit chat, but the girl is totally out of line!
She started telling me I shouldn't get a cradle or a cot or any stuff :O She offered me the wicker basket that her daughter slept in when she was baby, and I said I would consider it but am afraid of how secure it is. If the baby is an energetic one the wicker basket can turn over easily, this is why I'm looking into cradles.
She went on and on about the cot, and that I shouldn't get one and just go and buy a regular single bed...
Then she said the thing I should consider most is the car seat. She knows that I don't have a car and I don't drive btw. I told her I will let this up to DH as I don't use a car, maybe only once a month or so.
Then we talked about DH's home office that will be moved to the library room, it has plenty of space and it makes more sense. The room he has his office right now is designed for a nursery with baby closet etc.
Of course she had an opinion on this one too, and told me that we have to find a bigger place for DH to have his own room too (as if a huge library with a view in the park is not enough), and that this place is not safe for babies.
She kept saying that I wasn't ready to be a mother, that the adjustments are huge, blah blah blah, overly patronizing, assuming, offensive etc... I didn't want to reply to her something equally offensive, so I just told her, "oh well we just have to wait and see how it goes right? It isn't like I can change my mind right now, can I?"
WTH???
BTW this is the woman that called me when she found out I was pregnant to tell me about her horror labor of 3 whole hours!!!!
I can't deal with the crazies honestly!
Have a wonderful week everyone! This is my last week of work yay!

Thanks lily!
OMG your friend is so silly sorry to say!! You can not put a newborn baby or a baby who is under 2-3 years old in a cot bed! They roll and climb out and then they are off!! lol Get the cot, I did, I'm not bothering with the basket, mine barely used it and it was a huge waste of money. This is your baby, your pregnancy and your choice! You can do and buy whatever you like, thank her for her advice but you dont have to take it.
NO ONE is ever ready to be a mother! No one is a naturally amazing at being a mum, we all learn as we go, your friend is very rude, you are going to be a great mum! You don't need friends like that putting you down when you need support.
She sounds utterly bonkers!! I would have loved to be in labour for 3 hours! lol I got 23 hours with Con and 3 days with Lucas! lol Anyway it's not as bad as women say, you just have to breathe and the only really bad bit is the bit at the end before you push. Then it's over within an hour.
Omg seriously Lily she isn't a very good person to talk to about babies and motherhood she sounds like she's one of those, one child know it alls! Sorry for the rant but how dare she talk to you like that! grrrr
anyway... scan today.. and I have stomach ache.. hope I dont poo my pants!

Lily she sounds like a nightmare!!! You are trying to reach out to other moms for support...not to be told you basically have no idea what you are in for and you have no idea how to set up your home for a baby. Well, you are SOOOOOOO lucky to have this wondermom on hand to help you out.............................
Argh, nightmare journey to work today leaves me arriving as the first bell goes, to find a parent waiting for me, and I am stiff as a board from our mountain walking yesterday. NOT A FUN MONDAY.

THANK YOU! My thoughts exactly!
Not only I didn't get any advice or sense of friendship/support from her but she was outright hostile and "know it all".
I'm entirely open to advice from other moms, I actually go up to strange women and ask them about their stroller or some accessory they might have for info. It is hard not having females around you that are mothers (at least recently). The one that I could find is c r a z y...
I know next to nothing about all those baby things but I'm willing to learn. However I'm not without common sense and I know when someone is bullshitting me.
I'd love to have a 3 h labour btw, I think she is not worth listening to, she has this desperate need to sound like a martyr or something.
This is why I find this forum invaluable!
...............
Good luck with your scan today, pls tell us how it goes, and I hope your tummy feels better soon!
