Happy new year ladies!! Tobaira, I can't believe the ordeal you've gone through! I'm so happy to hear that you and the babies are ok, though I'm sure you're not feeling so great right now. As someone else said, probably good that they're in the nicu for a bit so that you have time to recover!

Stranje, I can't believe how close you are getting!!

LadyL, love the nursery! We are incorporating giraffes too - so cute!

Trixie, sorry this is such a hard time of year for you. I'm so glad things are progressing well with your baby, though, that must help you get through this tough time.

AFM, just got back from a super relaxing trip to Mexico which was exactly what I needed.

So exciting, had my 36 wk mw appointment today, am 3/5 palpable so heading in the right direction haha. Glad she has been engaging as have been feeling quite a few painful headbutts down there and I was saying to my OH if this isn't her engaging - ouch for whats to come!!!

Glad you had a good hol workingttc

I've been washing baby clothes yesterday and today, love seeing them hanging around drying, they're so cute! And have been using fairy powder which smells so lovely.

Here is my 35 week bump photo (taken at 35+3 xmas day )

 

[lilrojo]

Oh my goodness Dreamer your belly is so cute.. its so pointy lol.. Yay for washing baby clothes.. I have stuff washed but not alot as who knows the gender.. staying team green/yellow is hard.. lol Hope your doing well.. cant believe 36 weeks already..

 

[Claire1]

Aww, gorgeous bump dreamer
I have found the same problem lilrojo, its hard to get neutral clothing. I havent got a great deal really, but will look forward to shopping once baby is here. I think i might have to get some newborn stuff though as noticed all of mine is pretty much 0-3 as was expecting a bigger baby due to family history, but turns out it could be on the smaller side.
Any uk ladies got any tips on where to pick up some nice bur cheapish new born stuff? Does primark do newborn grows??

Thank you! I forgot about Asda

 

[baby2310]

no worries hun
we do our monthly shop here and the first section i head to every time is baby section, my hubby just laughs at me, he knows something extra is going in the trolley every time we go!

 

[_dreamer_]

I know, I've been carrying low and out all along and its beginning to look mega pointy. my belly button sticking out doesnt help either lol.

I've got quite a few neutral bits that I've got along the way, I just tend to shop the sales lol. Mothercare had some really good half price sales on neutral clothes as well as gender specific around xmas/new year. Part of me is still worried in case they are wrong and she's not a girl, as I've only had the one scan that said that. So I've got quite a few neutral things as well as the pink bits!!! Ooo I don't have an Asda near me, might have to take a trip there in a few months to get bigger sized clothes x

 

[baby2310]

can shop online too
got this set last weekend as thought it would be a good starter set to take to hospital

[workingttc]

Ooh, that starter set is so cute! I definitely officially have too many baby clothes - have had to cut myself off entirely. If I were having a girl, it would be a disaster - I'd never be able to stop! I'm surprised how much it all adds up, even buying only sale/discounted/used items! Honestly, I think it's good that some of you (claire and lilrojo) will be buying most of your stuff after the baby comes out of necessity, since you don't know the gender, since I think it will spare you having lots of extras baby never wears.

Dreamer, your belly looks great!

I can't believe we've already gotten our first baby news, with Tobaira's twins. I'm guessing more will be happening very soon. I've had two friends just have babies at 35 and 36 weeks (both totally fine). So you're all right there!! so exciting! I feel like you were saying Claire - I can't wait to have the baby be here- and I have 10 weeks to go!

[Claire1]

Havent seen any posts from Trixie or Stranje for a while?? How are you both doing? Any baby news?? x

 

[lilrojo]

only 8 more weeks for me.. crazy seems like we were all just getting our bfps.. now were all about ready to pop... Hope your all doing well..

And working i spent way too much on my dd when i was preg with her so i do think im saving a ton of money..

 

[LadyL]

Thanks everyone!! I am so glad to be pretty much through with the nursery. We've only been working on it since October, haha!! But since we gutted it, and did everything ourselves (my husband and my dad), we had to work on it as we had time!!

Working, super Jealous of your trip to Mexico!! I'm ready for warm weather again! I am such a wimp about the cold. I live in the south, so it hardly ever snows, but man, it can get cold and I hate it!!

Dreamer, super cute bump!! Very nice!

I'm off work the rest of the week and I'm gonna start washing little man's clothes and packing hospital bags and try to have all of that finished. And I'm having one more shower this weekend, so I'm hoping we will get everything else we need, and then we'll just be waiting on the baby to make his arrival!!

I can't believe how close we are all getting!! So exciting!!

 

[StranjeGirl]

Hi Everyone!

So happy to hear every one is doing well! Happy new year to all of you! This is going to be a great year for all of us for obvious reasons!!

Dreamer your bump is so cute!!! I will have to take and post a pic of mine now that I'm due.

Well I am still pregnant, boooo!!! I am going to acupuncture today to see if it can bring on labor. I have had zero signs of labor and my next appt is tomorrow and dr wants to induce me if I'm not making any progress. Anyway, keep your fingers crossed for me that something works and I dont have to be induced!!! I'll keep everyone posted.

Time is moving so fast for everyone! Can't wait to start seeing all our babies pictures soon!!!

 

[baby2310]

Ah good luck with the acupuncture Stranje!
So jealous of you guys, still got 12 weeks to go feels like forever!
Can't wait to meet our little one now x
