Oooh. Watching a programme about women who have reborn dolls. They're basically scary realistic fake babies. They move and have real hair and a heart beat. They push them round in prams and take em to the zoo. Theyre frickers crackers!! It's not that they necessarily want kids but can't have them, they just like the dolls.

Christ on a bike. Some people....
 
Amy how was the party? I know things just seem to get crazier and crazier when it comes to kids and presents luckily we dont really have registrys over here (Thank god!) although they are becoming more popular with weddings and baby showers are on the increase too. I hope you had a good time x

Helen, ive seen a similar programme i just think how sad these women are really must be lacking something in their lives to have a doll like that...crazy but sad at the same time x
 
oh i was gonna comment on the party but forgot. i kinda understand why theyve registered as otherwise theyll get loads of crap which they dont want. but presents arent about getting you what you want, theyre about being thoughtful and choosing something you hope theyll like, otherwise just give them money!

i understand wedding registries as people get bought 10 toasters or something stupid and the aim of those presents is to get you set up with house stuff, and baby registries to a point - theres stuff you need practically. but for a birthday? the point is to just be given treats which have no use but are nice and shiny

i think ive cracked reusable nappies, the information seems to have somehow gone into my head at least! now attempting to fathom baby wearing oO
 
OMG Helen! The realistic babies sound so weird! Poor women. They must have something major missing or wrong in their lives. Were people walking up to them wanting to see the "baby"? How awkward would that be!

The party was good. Had about 50 people there, and it was nice but outside again so way too hot. I think where we've been to so many huge kids' parties lately, it just started getting to me. I know we'll end up wanting to do big parties for Gus, too, so I shouldn't gripe about it. I think the whole registry thing is what really got to me. With a wedding, it's most likely the only time you'll do a wedding registry. And with a baby registry I think it's kinda the same, because you're not going to do one very often. But birthdays are every year, and it just seems like taking your kids to register for every birthday sends the wrong message. They're sweet kids, and of course loved all the presents. The whole registry thing was just a bit much for me.

Helen, Nick's really excited about getting something to be able to wear the baby. I've started seeing them a lot more lately than I ever used to, and after reading more about them it looks like it's really good for both you and baby. A friend of mine is babysitting a boy that's about 9 months old, and she was telling us some of the good ones around here. One brand was better when he was really tiny and the other is better now that he's getting bigger. We're going by that and reading reviews, too. That's always a good place to start. Good luck! :)
 
I'm still an eggplant?? They don't change much in these last weeks, do they? lol
 
urgh just wrote a long post and closed chrome by randomly twitching. cant remember what i said now really

i think ive decided to get a stretchy wrap and tie in a kangaroo carry (kinda high up on your chest and wrap goes over both shoulders) then get a woven (non stretchy) later on when baby gets heavier. will get a pretty one for me and a plain one for rich. id like a nice mei tai (square of cloth with proper straps) but theyre really expensive. ive not read any bad reviews of the baby bjorn tbh, but havent looked that much. will just get my wrap for now and one for rich later on.

the fruit ticker is really boring from now on isnt it. i keep meaning to change mine :/ im sure there must be other fruit!
 
had a v exciting bank holiday weekend watching rich do the gardening and telling him what to do. hes been taking a crappy low wall out and returfed it now so we have one big lawn instead of three stupid sized ones. hes great at growing things but cant make things look nice. i cant grow things and i kill anything that i prune but i can make things look nice. so we do it together like that and it works :p

aqua aerobics this morning was quite hard actually, bump didnt like the jumping around and i had to hold it a lot of the time, also just felt really worn out. id done 20 mins swimming beforehand so i think thats why. its so hard to slow down even tho i know i need to. leg is feeling much better tho so i glad i kept exercising, cant remember if i said but Id been having odd sciatica like pain down the front since pilates on saturday.

we went to costco today and bought big bags of stupid things, toilet rolls etc. bought some pure baby wipes for under £4 for 6 packs which is really cheap. I think ive got enough tho now :p especially as im not even going to use them full time. We have 56 packs (a lot we got free) which I reckon will last at least a year.

I had this idea that we'd buy a few things each time we went to the supermarket but theres not much more we can get. I could get more toiletries but what if they dont agree with baby? dont want to be stuck using baby shampoo on my own hair for decades. they dont sell nice cotton wool pads at our tesco, the asda ones are good, theres some big oval pads for £1 a roll. hmm. maybe ill just stop collecting.

i also got a nightie from m&s. its nice and stretchy but quite fitted also so it looks nice now and will grow with the bump. good ol m&s.

having our new fire fitted tmw so I have to wait in all morning. hopefully he wont be too long as my mums coming down and we're gonna go buy some lino for the study. hes a friend of someone i met on mumsnet so hope he does it well, dont want to have to have a go at him and things get awkward :/ our fire is 20 yrs old and looks crap so decided to spend a couple of hundred making it look nice. i dont think we actually even used it last year as we had some free radiators putting in cos I was on DLA, maybe will need it with a new baby tho.

hope you all had a good weekend/monday

Amy, we're loving the new house, especially Tegan!

Kids being registered for their birthday is bizarre! I've not done it for Tegan or for Jago's birth, if people want to get something then they should choose what they want to give!

My cousin always seems to go OTT on her kids birthdays. Last year I just invited my friend and her little girl around for Tegan's 1st birthday and they had sandwiches and a bit of cake! This year I'm thinking of a teddy bear's picnic with just Tegan's one friend! Family will come and go all day when they feel like it and then we'll go to Paradise Park the weekend after so we can go and see the birds and play in the Jungle Barn (big indoor play area). I'd never go overboard, maybe when she's 7 and has friends then I might take them cinema or something but I don't think I'll do anything extravagant, maybe if Jago was a September baby then possibly, but seeings as he's not gonna be I can get away with little parties :)

Helen - tried reading your posts but I have the crazy MIL here chatting into my ear. You have LOADS of wet wipes, you'll be surprised at how long they don't last :D

Better go and get Tegan dressed and escape the MIL, Luke has just jumped into the shower - ta Luke! Bugger......
 
I loved Paradise park went there last year the indoor playbarn was great...Riley was a bit young for it then ...must go back when i go to cornwall again x
 
Helen, glad the exercise is helping your sciatica! Seems like that's a pretty common pregnancy complaint, and I really hope I don't get it. I've had some back issues in the past because my job keeps me bending to one side and in awkward positions most of the day. I hope it doesn't hit me again!

Leigh, glad you're enjoying the new place! :) We'll probably end up doing big parties for Gus simply because we both have big families, so if we do anything it's a lot of people. But Nick's family does extravagant stuff, and he won't want to be outdone every time by his siblings' kids' parties. Who knows what we'll end up doing!

I'm so mad and hurt at Nick tonight! He found out he got the new job today, so he's been in a great mood. We were cuddling on the bed and I started trying to make it a little more than just cuddling. He said he just wanted to cuddle and isn't it nice to just hold each other! We haven't DTD in 3 weeks!!! He would rather watch his damn wrestling than have sex with his wife! And this is the third or fourth time I've suggested it or tried to start something, and he's pushed me away. It's really starting to hurt my feelings, and it kinda worries me, too. I know he's not cheating or anything, but why wouldn't he want to do anything when it's been so long? I mean, I'm already hormonal and feeling fat and ugly as it is. But when my husband doesn't want anything to do with me in that way, I just feel like crying! :( When he finally noticed that I had left the bedroom and wasn't coming back, he even had the nerve to ask why I wasn't in there watching wrestling with him! Hmmm, maybe since I hate wrestling because it's just a soap opera for men, and since I had been shot down AGAIN, maybe that's why I'm not real keen on staying in the same room with him! Ugghh. I'm so upset. Just feel like a big, fat, pregnant, unattractive slob of a person who's husband isn't attracted to her any more. :( Why do men have to be so stupid?
 
With rich he's just totally weirded out by the baby being in there and my body being different. It's not that he doesn't want to have sex with me, but if he could take the baby out and put it back in afterwards he'd be much happier. Have you explained to him how you feel?

Leg feeling fine now. I think it's basically the same mechanic as is going on with swollen feet - pelvis constricting the blood flow but in this case pelvis is restricting the nerve. It's better anyway and will go for a swim later. Had yday off as my mum visiting wore me out. She's so hyper....

Is it too late to join in here? I'm a UK18 and I'm doing SW, well I was until I got my BFP, convinced it is that which helped me finally conceive. Hoping to continue eating healthily throughout my pregnancy though. I'm due April 24th 2012 :)
