Curvy ladies

[Gemmylou86]

So we go to fill the paperwork for the car tomorrow, and it will be ready to pick up on Friday. I'm so ridiculously excited it's embarassing. I've never had anything as nice as this. Both of us are the make do and mend type so this is a really big deal to us both
Also booked a haircut for saturday. Another thing I feel terrible about. Part of me thinks everyone will think I'm irresponsible for getting a haircut with a baby to pay for. Despite the fact we have almost everything for Lily, and we're saving every extra penny for the move and financs are ok... Well ok enough to allow myself the first haircut of 2011. So why do I feel so guilty?

 

[cranberry987]

New cars are SO exciting so I dont blame you being excited! Really tho like you said you're saving money so can spend it on a haircut

I'm trying to eek my hair out so I only need one more before dec. It's been 14w now and I reckon it can go another 4 at least. Then I can have one before my bday in jan.

I'm working at a scrap yard this afternoon. How glam is that...

Gem id be so excited too about the car and the hair cut my hair is a wreck...cannot believe i still havent had it done im mad with myself for letting it get so bad...my roots are just yuk really need to get it sorted asap and then have a top up before baby comes. Do not feel guilty about a haircut your carrying lily you pamper yourself while you can hun xxx

Helen sounds like fun i always used to go into work with dh (mechanic) love it getting all dirty lol!

 

[cranberry987]

I'm really not the scrap yard type lol. You should have seen me with my radley bag and work clothes on walking round with a couple of proper blokes. Looked ridiculous I bet

I have escaped tho and am on way home now. Rich has been off 'ill' so has told me the house and garden are tidy. V ill then ...

 

[cranberry987]

Oh. I think baby had hiccups last night. Cant be sure but it was quite a rhythmic movement and went on for ages. i felt a couple of them from the outside. I did wake rich up to feel but he wasnt interested and just wanted to be left alone so he could sleep. pft, philistine.

 

[pink sparkle]

yeah sounds like it was the hiccups helen, this one always seems to get them can be quite distracting!

I never minded going to work with dh, i still love it when he comes home all messy too covered in oil ;0)

 

[cranberry987]

Ah wicked. Wasn't sure if it was too early to feel em

Just started watching dexter. I know I'm really late to it but I never rly got it first time round as I only half watched the first episode so didn't get the second then stopped watching. Need something to watch in bed as we don't have sky upstairs and there's never anything on 1 2 or 4 and 3 and 5 aren't allowed on in my house

Should stop gabbing on here or I'll miss half again and not know what's going on

 

[pink sparkle]

why no 3 and 5?

 

[cranberry987]

I'm just a massive snob. Also the ads piss me off. Can just about deal with it on c4 but only just. I know it's an illness

 

[pink sparkle]

Helen you do make me laugh...why cant snobs watch 3 and 5 lol! I would agree about adds completely driving us crazy!

 

[cranberry987]

I just think it's like the tv equivalent of candy floss. Its not like I watch only panorama or anything and its good for mindless stuff bit any time they try and do something serious its awful. Like there was a prog on older women having kids a few months ago and it was the worst kind of inflammatory insulting crap. Like I say tho, I'm aware that it's really snobby of me to say that hehe

A friend just linked me this https://m.guardian.co.uk/lifeandsty...l-baby-products?cat=lifeandstyle&type=article in case it doesn't go to the non mobile site it's an article from today about top 10 things to buy for baby. They've chosen really expensive options but some of the things are good if you could find a cheapy version.

Hi all! Glad to see there are some posts on here again! I always want to rant and rave about my stupid SIL that's 6 weeks pregnant, but I'm afraid she'll somehow see them on facebook. I even put one up and immediately deleted it because it showed up on my regular page on the "most recent" thread. I'm sure no one else can see it, but it scared me too much. Nick would kill me if I caused a riff between him and his brother, so I just bite my tongue. Anywho...

Hannah, sorry about the whole stroller/carseat mess! Glad you've got it figured out now, though. Hope you can figure out how to disarm the airbag, though. That can be tricky sometimes.

Gemma, woohoo for the new car! I've had my new SUV for about a year and a half, and I absolutely love it! Never would have bought anything if I had really thought about getting pregnant, but now we're thrilled to have it since it will be so much easier to get a baby in and out of. And all the baby stuff should fit easily, too, which it definitely would not have in my little sporty car I had before. And that's awesome that it's a new car AND a cheaper one!

Helen, sounds like hiccups to me! The first time I felt them was the first time Nick was able to feel Gus moving. Every time before that he'd stop before Nick could get to feel it. I just love being able to let Nick feel him finally! Seems like it includes him a little more.

As for me, I FINALLY had to stop wearing my regular scrub pants to work since they were cutting off the circulation to my waist! lol Now I'm wearing maternity jeans and still in my regular scrub tops since they're big anyway. Still no obvious bump to anyone else, but my belly is most definitely getting bigger. And I can tell Gus is getting bigger, too, because the kicks are a lot stronger lately! It's a little unsettling at work sometimes when he gets right on my bladder, but it's worth it!

 

[cranberry987]

Well I suppose scrub trousers are baggy anyway so you've done well to get this far. I'm sure you'll pop at some point. Or maybe you need to waddle more and make it realllllly obvious that you're preggers!

Was discussing push presents on someone's journal. Rich is so bad at presents I'll probably get a cheese toasty maker or something. He also said i could have a present if i had a 'live birth' stupid man.....

Working from home tomorrow morning which basically means trolling eBay for bargains while sitting with my feet up in my back bedroom. Lovely! Theyve been quiet over the summer but starting to pick up now. Was hoping I could do loads more with them in dec so hope it does pick up more. It's so lovely and convenient and means illbe able to stay working longer. Really can't be arsed with the driving once I'm big

Back to sleep now. Still waking at 3-4 am... Baby doesn't like sleep it seems

 

[cranberry987]

Oh and I bought a hypnobirthing package from tums 2 mums. Rich put it on my phone for me but I have no bloody headphones so can't listen to it yet! He swears he's bought me 50 pairs but I think they just disappear when they get into my posession. There's free mp3s on the website which I've listened to and it's not an annoying voice so hope I get on with it

 

[pink sparkle]

Yay sunshine for tummy getting bigger and wearing your maternity jeans now...i was late getting into mine but honestly over the last couple of weeks they fit me like a glove...your probably be the same as me and all of a sudden have a big pregnant belly! I havent seen the news but seen a few status updates about the weather in the USA and earthquakes hope you havent been affected and if so hope you are all ok. Is the sil driving you mad atm then...feel free to rant away xxx

Helen work sounds like fun today! Im under strict orders of no shopping and no internet shopping after spending a small fortune this last week! However to get round my need to spend money im going to take dd to get her school shoes and tights and some training bras (OMG BRAS!!!). May have to take a sneaky peak in next as its next door to Marks and Spencers and Clarkes! She also needs a new school bag so we can head to tammy or somewhere.

Baby has been sooo active in the night aswell and ds in our bed all night feet everywhere ...i wish he would stay in his own bed...but i just give up taking him back in cos he only gets back up comes into us

Think i may treat my hair today and actually wash it...lazy cow i am!

 

[Gemmylou86]

Lol I love the idea of 'push presents'! Now I just have to get Dan on board

 

[pink sparkle]

There is no way i will get a push present...just about get a birthday present lol! I would want diamonds too!

 

[cranberry987]

its not shopping if you really really need it! also if its cheap then youre saving money so makes sense really hehe. enjoy your not-shopping-at-all trip

its a bit scary buying bras and stuff, in a few years itll be the whole teenage shebang oO

will you let the others in your bed when the baby is here? or maybe theyll stay away actually as theyll be woken up with grizzling

Id love a really nice piece of jewelry as a push present, not diamonds, but something ill keep for ages. like i have some earrings i bought myself for our wedding and they were only £10 but I love them. but that relies on a) rich realising what i want (even if I tell him its still not guaranteed) and b) him choosing something nice. so Ill probably end up getting something nice but a bit lame like bubble bath.

 

[pink sparkle]

For my 18th my dad brought me my first real diamonds, a pair of stud earrings and a necklace with a single diamond droplet. They were set in gold but when i got married i had them set in white gold and my engagement and wedding rings both kinda match the set. I really want a nice bracelet to match...have wanted one since we got married but tbh we cant afford one thats real lol. I have loads of junk jewellery but i go through phases of wearing it and then never wear it again.

I dont matter what im buying as long as im spending money im pretty happy....cant admit that to hubby tho!

Hello girls,

Yey for posts!

Hope you are all well. I've been missing all the daytime 'craic' on facebook because of bloody work! Only tomorrow to complete then I've got 10 days off (holiday) then I've just got 4 days back in work until Maternity Leave!! Wooo-hooo. I'm glad now that I'm going off early becuase I can't concentrate at work and I'm getting tired.

I've been thinking about things to do whilst I'm off, becuase I've got everything ready for baby Roscoe's arrival now. So far I've come up with the following:

• Finishing my Christmas Shopping (as cheaply as possible)
• Making handmade Christmas cards
• Making handmade chocolates to give out at Christmas as presents from the baby, I've bought heart shaped moulds from The Works and I'm going to steep some cherries in brandy for 8 weeks and then pop a cherry into the mould,fillwith dark chocolate and hey presto - with a fancy home made box they'll look fab!
• Washing baby clothes

Hmmm I wonder if Mark will get me a 'push' present? When I had Holly mum bought me a bottle of Jean Paul Gaultier perfume and I've never not had a bottle since, its my fav ever and always reminds me of having Holly.

Amy lovely to hear you've moved on to Maternity Jeans, omg they are so comfy. Don't worry about your bumpy, it will happen at some point. We're all different, I've been worrying about being too big, you are worrying about being to small but as long as the babies are all good we are doing a great job...huggles X

Helen, I agree with you,its not shopping if you really need it (and a great excuse) us ladies have shopping programmed into us,it can't be helped. Re: hiccups, I can't comment becuase my bubs hasn't had them yet, not that I know of anyway!

Gemmy, post a piccy of the new car when it arrives, It'll be your first 'baby' of the year!

Jayne, I'm the same with shopping, and defo best not admit that to the hubbys and OH's.

Bye for now Xxx

P.S You've all maybe seen it on FB but here is my last 2nd tri and last 1st tri piccy to compare.
