I reckon that sounds like a good plan but you might need a few more things to do. You've got aaaaages still

I just bought a refurbished bt 150 baby monitor off eBay for £35 (usually £70). It looks like a rly good one and has loads of features. Bit nervous about buying refurbished but it's got a 90 day warranty so will just make sure to test it a lot

Have a cracking headache tonight. It's from the remote relay work I did this morning, always gives me a migraine looking at the White screen. I don't get mega painful ones, just bad headache and wobbly vision etc. Can't take the usual NSAIDs so hopefully it'll pass. They last 10 days+ unmedicated sometimes :/
 
Oooh Han thats my fave perfume ever ...love the stuff and ive just run out, no suprise i spray like crazy...i think im gonna have to drop some major hints to hubby about perfume as a push present. When i went for my 20 week scan i walk into the scan waiting room and the receptionist at the desk kept going on about who was wearing JPG I was the other side of the room and like me me me! Another of my faves is Contradiction and Euphoria....i usually go the airport sale at the nec every November and get my perfume for the year and save a fortune, but doubt i will make it this year as its usually the beginning of the month. Will have to send my sil with a shopping list.

Ive got so much i want done before my lil lady arrives im starting to panic now that it wont get done my list

1. Get rid of the pc and cabinet, which means sorting out the leads and cables and working out what we need to make sure the laptops still work as our wireless router is attached to the pc and im clueless?

2. Paint the living room and hallway buy new cushions for the sofa and buy storage for the living room for toys.

3. Get DS a bed and put the cot in our bedroom, move the chest of drawers from ds's bedroom to our room also.

4. Sort out DS's 2nd Birthday in two weeks.

5. Christmas shopping for DD and DS.

6. Sort out cupboard under the stairs.

7. Sort out the chest of drawers in the downstairs shower room.

8. Sort out the shed and get stuff away for the winter.

9. Get baby clothes washed and hospital bag packed!

I took ds to bed and fell asleep with him from 8-9! Got up as heartburn was so bad...just hope i manage to get to sleep ok tonight..feeling pretty tired though so hopefully shouldnt be a problem x
 
Helen, that's hilarious that he might get you a push present! lol It better one damn good present for the 9 months of work we've put into these babies! lol I would like maybe a charm bracelet or necklace to commemorate the day, but I've been hinting to Nick for ages that I want a Pandora charm bracelet like we got his mom, but I've yet to see it. Doubt he'll get me anything, but he surprises me sometimes!

Jayne, the weather here is fine, but even though we're like 10 hours or so from the center of the earthquake some people here still felt it a little! There's also a big hurricane that's supposed to hit the east coast soon, but we're at least 6 hours inland so it won't affect us. Thanks for the concern though! :)

Han, great ideas for Christmas! We've already told everyone to not expect presents but instead a voucher to keep Gus any time they want to! lol We're planning to have his picture made asap after birth to do Christmas cards with, but who knows if I'll actually get that done. We'll have to start at least getting presents for the niece and nephews soon. There's just so much to do and it seems like time is running out. And thanks for the bump comments! :)

We've done so much cleaning out the past couple of weeks that we've actually about gotten that done. Still need to paint the nursery, hang pictures in there, and figure out exactly what I'm going to do for his name over the crib. Since it's a dinosaur theme, I'm thinking get plain, wooden egg-shaped (I don't know what to call them) things, paint them to look like dinosaur eggs, then get smaller letters to spell Gus, paint them and stick them on the eggs to go on the wall over the crib. If I ever actually get this done I'll post pics!
 
Ohhhhh I forgot to tell you all!!! I had my very first person today looking at my belly with a questionable look. It's a patient I've seen for years, and when I told him I'm pregnant he looked at my belly again and said "I thought you were, but I didn't want to say anything"! It's so exciting for someone to FINALLY start noticing the huge difference I've seen for months! :happydance:

And as for the SIL, she's 6 weeks and already complaining to me about morning sickness (talk to me when you're 6 MONTHS!). And she says she can't take folic acid because it made her really sick the ONE time she took it. Folic acid helps to prevent neural tube birth defects, and that's what Asher had. He had it even though I was taking it from the time I started ttc, but if I hadn't even tried to take it I would have had to question for the rest of my life whether or not I could have done something to prevent his death. SURELY she doesn't understand what she's asking ME of all people! I just wanted to say, yeah part of motherhood is dealing with the sickness and feeling like crap to do what's good for YOUR BABY, not you! I'm usually very much "to each their own", but this is one thing that hits pretty close to home. Guess she never cared enough to really know what was wrong with our baby. Asshole.

Ok, I'm done ranting. For now anyway. lol
 
Ahh Amy massive hugs hunni thats so insensitive your your sil ...shes obviously all caught up in herself atm. YAY to your patient noticing your baby bump! The egg plan sounds great i hope you get around to it ...i cant wait to see pics of your finished nursery as i loved the lamp you got...so much nicer than the things we can get over here. We dont tend to get much extreme weather...although i have felt the tremor of a minor earthquake we had about 10 years ago and i also experienced a mini tornado here in birmingham too! Quite a rare thing to say you have experienced over here.

Had a very weird dream last night...i went to Jades for dinner! Was very nice thanks Jade and Dougie and Mike ended up in the pub haha! xxx
 
A good friend of mine was the same. I didn't say anything to her but I just thought how selfish and stupid not to just take a pill and deal with the sickness. She didn't take any vitamins and eats no fruit so she def wasn't getting it from elsewhere. It's something you have to do to give your child the best possible chance

Grr!
 
Morning,

Yep I'm sure I'll find more things to do, Jayne I wanted to paint my hallway but Mark won't let me, he says its too risky for me to be up a ladder and that he wants to be there. Problem is he's never there, always at work, so it probably won't get done. Haha for going for a meal at Jades house! Funny! What did she cook?

Amy, woo hoo for patient noticing bump, just proves it must be coming along nicely.

I've not got much to report. I watched that programme on BBC about surrogates last night! (recorded from night before I think) My goodness I couldn't be a surrogate, I admire people who do it but I couldn't put my body through all of this and not have my baby at the end of it. I felt quite emotional for them, when I was watching it.

So ready to have a little time off, only a few hours to go until 5pm and then I'm off for 10 days. I'm a bit headachey at the moment.

I'm enjoying reading all the birth stories in 3rd tri, finally its starting to feel real. Xxx
 
Thanks girls! The SIL is definitely selfish and it's always all about her unfortunately. But she's only 21 so I guess that's to be expected. She goes to the doctor today, so maybe they'll talk some sense into her.

Jayne, that's funny about dreaming of having dinner with Jade! lol And I'll definitely post pics when I finally get the nursery done. I think we're going to pick out paint this weekend, and I'll probably start painting next weekend. I'm not very artistic, so I'll probably have Nick do the eggs since he's a lot better at that kind of stuff.

Han, Nick's the same way about me painting, but he's probably never gonna do it. I figure once I start it he'll actually help me or make me go away so he can do it. Either way, it'll take me starting the room for it to actually get finished! lol He hates painting, so he's not looking forward to it.

Today I HAVE to clean my house! I've been so nauseous this week that I haven't done anything, and it's a complete mess. Still not feeling great today, but it's got to be done. Wish I had a cleaning fairy to come clean for me!
 
Hope the cleaning went well

I just got off the phone with my mum. They were coming a week on sat to help with returf the garden. My dad got the days muddled and they want to come Sunday Monday instead. I have a home birthing group Sunday which I missed last month as was so worn out from doing family crap that day and i refuse to miss it. I tried about 50 different ways to say no to my mum but she just doesn't get it. I'm like I'll be tired so can we just do it another time, she says oh it's ok you can sleep in. Its not about the sleep it's the mental energy required to deal with her. I've got the mw and hospital on the Monday and it's gonna be stressful and they said they'll just fit around me. Great, so dont come

How can I get them to listen to me without pissing them off. Hopefully it'll rain then we can't do it and they'll stay home. I can't think of any other way to put it :(
 
Sorry Helen! I know exactly how you feel because my mom's the same way. They just don't realize that sometimes just their presence is stressful. Maybe you could fake sickness or something??? My mom's being the same about coming to my next doctor's appointment. She's such a worry wart anyway, and that's when they're doing the glucose test. It's like she wants to be there to hear the bad news if I fail it or something. I keep telling her to wait til the 30 week appt because that's the 3D ultrasound, and she'll only have to leave work a little early, too. Plus it will stress me if she's having to miss so much work for my morning glucose appt. She just won't take the hint, though. I'm in the same boat, and I don't know how to deal with her without hurting her feelings. Plus there's no way in hell I'm letting her see me get weighed!! Her skinny butt is way too judgmental for that!
 
Maybe we both need to bite the bullet and just tell them. Or we could tell each others' :haha:
 
morning

have the day off and im a bit restless. tired and i know that i need to have a rest but at the same time i feel really guilty for sitting on my ass. been to the gym this morning and had a good work out so its not all been lazy-time. but.... what to do!
 
I'm gonna watch tv for a while til my morning sickness wears off, then it's off to Walmart with my sister. Helen, you're so good to work out every day! I've been walking in the evenings, but not as much as I should. But I did so much cleaning yesterday, and we've got a busy weekend so I guess Friday can be my lazy day! :) Ohhhh plus I think I'm going with my other sister tomorrow night to get a pedicure! I need it so bad. It's getting harder to get to my feet, and since we still have at least another month of hot weather I figure I deserve one more pedi. :)
 
oh i dont go every day! hadnt been for about 10 days before yday. im just catching up

decided to sit and confuse myself about real nappies instead of going out. someone suggested to buy two tots bots bamboozle stretchie or lollipop nappies with nature baby wraps (tb wraps no good) 2 totsbots teenyfits and 2 sized xs pocket nappies like bumgenius v4s and/or fuzzibuns birth to potty (these are diff to normal btp nappies)

aargh. so confused!
 
I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaack! :)

Won't be on as much as I was until the middle of September but I'm back on my beloved netbook, and it feels lush to stretch out on the new sofa's with my feet up :)

Luke went out and bought a pay as you go dongle today :) :happydance:

I read all of this but forgot to open another tab and reply!

Helen, my head is now spinning with the nappy stuff! :lol:

Amy - yay for a noticable bump :) :hugs: for stupid SIL.


It fees so strange knowing that I'm team blue now :) I wish I had some scan piccies I could share, especially the one of his balls! I swear, they're huge! Gonna have to borrow my friends baby and practice changing his nappy :D I think my friend is pleased I'm having a little pal for her boy, there will be 6 months between them :) There's only 11 weeks between our girls and they adore each other :)

I've had a stupidly busy day in work and feel like I'm about to go zzzzzzz on here! So I think I'd better take that as a cue and get my big arse to bed :)

It's so nice to be back ladies :) xxx
 
Glad you're back Leigh! So are you loving the new place? New couches sound wonderful, and it's so exciting to have another boy in the group! :) That's awesome that you and your friend each have a girl and then a boy so close in age! I wish my friends who are on the fence about when to start trying would go ahead already. I need someone to be baby pals with here! I've got one friend who's probably going to start ttc soon, and another who's husband wants to but she's still wanting to wait a little while. Guess I've always got the SIL! lol

So we're going to Nick's cousin's sons birthday party tomorrow. 2 boys and their birthdays are just a few days apart so they always do a joint party for the brothers. Anyway, in the invitation there was an extra paper telling their sizes and stuff they each like AND it said they were REGISTERED at Toys R Us! Registered for their birthday party?? That's a first for me. Plus it said "they love to shop, too, so gift cards are always welcome". I mean, really?? It was all prefaced by the whole "it's not about the gifts, but if you want to get them something...", but still, having your kids register for presents??? It's insane how many toys kids here get for their birthdays now, and I just don't get it. For my birthday as a kid, I got $10 from one grandfather, $1 from another, 1 present from mom and dad, a cake, and I got to pick my favorite meal for dinner! lol That's what we did. Period. Is it just me, or does it seem like kids parties are more about showing off how much money you can spend on them now or what? This one tomorrow is at a go-cart track where everyone can race go-carts, play putt-putt, arcade games, etc. The last 2 parties we went to had rented huge blow-up water slides that were over $300!! Sorry to rant, but it just seems like every time it's something bigger and better and more expensive.
