Thinking of you Monroe but like the other ladies have said they have caught you nice and early..still a lot to work on with 2.5...women have had much less than that when needing a stitch so all will be fine im sure xx keep those legs up (off the floor) xx
I've been shopping
Actually bought my breast pump yesterday-Avent electical pump along with a bottle and breast pump steriliser-the way I see it is if I struggle to bf id like to express until I can work it out so he still has my milk, plus ill keep some in the fridge (can be stored for up to 2 weeks) so OH can feed him too. My sister is going to teach me tje art of bf-all about wide open mouths and lots of breast in mouth with sucked in cheeks...! I've also bought with OH: moses basket, cot, sprung mattress, gorgeous bedding to match moses, changing mat, couple more bottles, bibs and burb clothes, dummies, neutral clothes to get us by til we can shop for boy or girl, picked up my free Emma's Diary goodies bag and will order pram next week Going to get a travel system one with 3 wheels-have always disliked them but having pushed a few around in stores now they are sooo much easier and not so ugly to me now! I'll get it in black and brighten it up with colourful toys and blankets.
Anyone watch one born every minute last night-ohhh my-the last birth has frightened the hell out of me! That poor woman-her hips were practically by her ears and her lips blue..so terrifying to be told to get the baby out NOW and it be stuck! I'm sure a c section earlier on when there were issues would have been better but im no mw.
As for movement I miss him so much when it's been a couple of hours if him being still/sleeping! He definitely has more active days than others-some nights when I turn over I feel him kicking and I smile and go back to sleep This morning I got scared though-he was still-not even me playing my 'womb songs' (one of them being Bruno Mars im afraid;-)) got a single kick...after 15 mins I got my doppler which I haven't used for ages-hb fine..but I knew movement was more important so I started talking relatively loudly to him and he was doing summersaults within seconds YEY!! Hasn't stopped! Mummy obviously disturbed him having a good sleep, silly mummy I can't get up though until I've felt him move.
Monitors-video or audio? I'm thinking video...reviews have said you still feel the need to go in and check with newborns despite the video as they are so still and quiet! But as they grow the video comes in handy to see what they're up to! Plus incase they've kicked blankets off/over their face x
Ps uk ladies-errr what is going on with our summer???!! Currently sitting indoors with heating on looking out at the snow flakes falling grrrrr...it better be lovely for our walkies with our babies once they arrive!

Hang in there baby! 
and I bought a DreamGenii - I just want to make a cover for it and then hopefully I should be very snug in bed. Our third bedroom is jammed full of baby stuff (mostly things donated to us). When we brought the Moses Basket home, I thought, "Wow this is really happening."
but I know everything will be worth it in the end. 
I've never loved anyone like this. I love showing her off to people.
