evening ladies I can't believe how fast this week has gone! We picked up a cot and changing unit from one of my colleagues today and it's dead exciting just the pram/pushchair now and we're done! (That's been delayed 3 times now!)

I have really swollen feet again though but in good news I bought new birkenstock sandals from TKMAXX so I'm super pleased

Also got a travel grobag from there at half price! extra win!

now I'm too tired/full for tea though - bugger

Adorable dress and bump gem!

Casey sounds like you have a wonderful husband.

Had dr appt today, no change in dilation or effacement from 2 weeks ago. Was hoping for some movement but oh well. Next appt in a week for another check.

DH's work had a shower for us today and it was lovely. Got some cute outfits, gift card and small swing and slide set for the backyard, perfect for ages 1-4!

My feet and ankles are soooo swollen. Have them propped up on pillow now and waiting for polish to dry. Figured since I have to rest them might as well get some polish on. Might try an Epsom salt soak later. Not sure what else to do.

Please join me in Remembering a Great icon of the entertainment community. The Pillsbury Doughboy died yesterday of a yeast infection and trauma complications from repeated pokes to the belly. He was 71. Doughboy was survived by his wife Play Dough, three children, John Dough, Jane Dough, and Dosey Dough, plus they had one in the Oven. The Funeral was held at 3:50 for about 20 minutes.

I saw the word Epsom and got excited - sad!! That's the town I live in.

Gertrude - feels fantastic when everything is done / near enough done doesnt it?

Bernina - How did you reach to put polish on? I seriously cant reach my toes xD
I tried before and just failed!

Ah so so tired today. Feel slightly sicky too after scoffing a Maccies. D:

The nappies have arrived and I love them!

 

[MissFox]

Those are so very cute loopy! I'm really hoping to pick up a few like that soon but i"ll probably wait until Rosie is in a bigger size and I use all the little diapers I got from my shower.

 

[loopy82]

I have a feeling we'll be using disposables for awhile too, they say suitable for newborn but even on the smallest size they seem a little big to me. There will be more nappy than baby!

 

[bernina]

Gem I sat on bed and bent knees to reach feet. Wasn't very comfy and I made sort of a mess but I'll clean the polish off the edges when it dries.

Loopy love the nappies. What brand? We're going to try using cloth as well but will use disposable for first few weeks, travel, and days out.

Gertrude sounds like it's all coming together very exciting. You'll have to take some pics for us!

Jakesmummy I'll think of you when I'm soaking my tootsies!!

 

[CottlestonPie]

Oh my goodness what I wouldn't give to be able to touch my toes!! I don't know how you manage! I struggle putting socks and shoes on now not that it matters... My feet are so puffy that any attempt to make them look decent would be a waste of time lol

I got myself one of those quattro razors with the bikini trimmer on the end. Omg I had to get rid of the jungle! Feels sooo much better. Probably looks a state but who cares!
DF doesn't know yet. He kinda likes the neatly kept natural look so he might not be too impressed.

They're from Baba+Boo (https://www.babaandboo.com/index.php), think the company is uk based but they post round the world and I did find lots of good reviews about them.

[loopy82]

Congratulations luvmyangel! Love her name x

 

[MissFox]

Congrats!!!!

I've been looking into the Fuzzibunz brand and a couple others...

 

[bernina]

Congrats luv!!!!

MissFox I have a few gently used fuzzibunz from eBay, they get great reviews. I can't wait to try them out on little one!

 

[loopy82]

I saw good reviews for fuzzibunz too, went for baba+boo as they were a lot cheaper and I liked the patterns!

 

[bernina]

I picked up 3 lbs of sliced pineapple at store today. I know it's just and old wives tale but I'll try anything at this point
