Curvy ladies

its colder here too which is LOVELY. I bloody hate the sun and heat. Havent had any proper cold days yet but theyre in the making :)

Feel better today, god I get moany when im in pain/ill. Didnt go to the wedding last night and good job really. Id have been crippled today if I had, could hardly get up out of bed. Rich was v manly and forbid me from going so we lay in bed and I went to sleep about 9pm. then was up at 1am til 4.30! Finally got back to sleep til 10am. Havent slept that late for ages, was lovely.

Hope the bride isnt too grumpy about me not going, Ive sent her a msg explaining and tbh i do suspect that i was a fill in as the invite got 'lost' and i had a last minute invitation. maybe im being too cynical

i think i might have a bit of a problem tho... i now have about 40 real nappies. just bought another 15 on ebay, half of them havent been used at all and other half only used once so they were a great price (£24 inc postage), but i only really need two of each make. seems silly not to buy tho when theyre so cheap, theyre like £5-£10 each new.

I also now have three changing bags :p Bought a black skipp hop to attach to the pram, then realised itd be crap for babywearing, so bought a jujube which is lovely. but its quite flowery so rich said can we keep the black one for him. then i got a bundle of stuff which includes a skipp hop bag. i think im going to sell one of the skipp hops. should make a few £s tbh.

on the look out for a bouncy seat and a swingy seat on ebay. dont wanna buy new as loads of ppl have said that their baby hated x but loved y, then someone else has said the opposite. so i reckon if i get both styles cheap then im even.

then i think we're about done for the big things. nursery still needs some finishing touches, shelves putting up etc. bought two floating shelves from ikea and going to cut an action man in half to use as book ends (you gluegun it so that it looks like hes going through the shelf kinda) which means i get to buy a gluegun! woo. v exciting. always wanted one :p

rich is watching the stupid rugby then we're going out. was planning on sitting and doing nothing but as i feel kinda ok im going to do stuff but just take it easy.

hiya

going bra shopping today. decided boobs have outgrown my original non wired monstrosities. going to go to m&s and get properly measured like a good girl. i hate bra shopping but my upper back hurts which might be because im wearing a shit bra. cant make it worse anyway.

was recommended a good yoga podcast the other day, downloaded it yday and its rly good. its called mamaste yoga. theres short routines so you can pick whichever you want to do. theres a birthing ball exercise too and some other stuff. gonna do a bit before i leave, also will eat toast!

have a good day

hi Helen
Hope the bra fitting went well! Ta for the Yoga site - will check it out....
Don't forget to post pics of your nursery!
Do you have a standard "gym" excersice ball or a special one? x
 
its just a normal gym ball, have to make sure its the right size so that your hips are higher than your knees. im 5f6 and a 65 cm ball fits me, think if youre over 5f8 you need the 75cm one, dunno about the 55cm one tho. rly wish i could sit on one all day, so bloody comfy.

heres a pic of our cotbed, theres a few more pics on that flickr account of the nursery i think. not finished yet really but the main things are done https://www.flickr.com/photos/helenshingler/6045465213/in/photostream

nct tonight,just trying to catch up on here quickly before we go!
 
hmm will have to look at those I think! (ball)
The cot looks lovely! I see you have a bumper - been reading lots of positive and negative stuff about them - I hate conflcting advise!!!!
Ooh exciting re NCT - mine isn't until Nov 12th!!! Hope it goes well - do let us know T xxx
 
Nct was good. The teacher is v v pro home birth and I was the only one planning one so she kinda went on about it. Bet it was annoying for the others who were going to hospital. Maybe I'm just overworrying. Everyone was nice tho and the teacher was what I wanted rly. Talking about what you can do to help your body along etc. Was good.

Re the cot bumper Ive looked at the pros and cons and really the cons do seem a bit scaremongering. I mean yeah you wouldn't put baby with his head right up near it but that's kinda common sense. Can't be worrying about everything or you'd never get anything done
 
Im still here just about...find it much easier to write on facebook and quicker and cba to keep repeating myself all the time. Glad your NCT class went well, how are the plans coming along for the home birth? x
 
ah right, i dont read half of whats posted on there tbh. takes too long to catch up with ppl going back and forth i find. always get home to find 15 replies to something ^^
 
Hey I'm still here too, sort of. Facebook is easier and like you said Jayne, i seem to repeat myself alot otherwise. BnB should get its act together on the application they are meant to be making! Lol.

I've had bad news today! My car is poorly and gonna cost £300 to fix :( We are so skint at mo and it means adding yet more to the credit card, its so depressing, but its the only way we can survive. I can't even afford to pay chunks of it off as only just surviving on Marks wage and my SMP. I feel like there is a big black debt cloud over us at the mo!

Tanya, I got a normal gym ball and its 65cm and is big enough for me, I'm 5ft6". Its really comfy to sit on, I got mine in Home Bargains for £4.99.

I'm meant to be going up to my friends mums tomorrow to make my baby sling, the material arrived today, I really like it, grey and white stripes. However now the car is broke I can't get there and she can't drive as have epilepsy and is 37 weeks pregnant! Hopefully I might get a lift there off someone else, will be gutted if I can't make it :(

aaw Han sorry to hear about your car. It's never nice having unexpected bills especially at this time! we have just been saying we really need to get a new one as my polo is dying! We bought Didi a lovely car last yr before we knew about Beanie so it makes mine look even worse!!!! Trying to work finances out now...
I am waiting for the arsenal game to finish as we are then gonna start stripping the nursery! hooray!
Thanks for the ball recommendations - will have a look!
Will pop over to FB now and prob copy and paste this!!!!
see you there xx
 
Hey ladies! I haven't checked in on this site for a while. Like you all said it's easier to get on facebook. Anyway, Helen I love your bedding! That's so cute and bright! I wonder if my mobile will fit in the middle like you have yours. I'll have to see if it will. Mine's on the end right now, but it's really not long enough to be on the end. Hadn't thought about putting it in the middle like that. Good idea!

Han, so sorry about the car and money troubles! :( I got a new car last year. We planned it so we'd have something a little bigger to get baby in and out of. Now that Nick's starting his new job, he keeps talking about wanting a new car, too. I want him to have one, but I really don't think it's the right time now. Too many bills to try to get paid off still in the next couple of months.

Can't believe so many of us only have a couple of months left! It's really getting down to the wire now!!! :)
 
Hi ladies.... I love the idea of this thread.... am I too late to join you? I'm due on Halloween, but will be delivering early..... I'm having a boy
 
Hey Angelique,

I'm Hannah, welcome over and sure you can join. The only thing is that most of us have migrated to our Curvy Ladies group on Facebook and tend to use that for keeping in touch and general chatter as we find it easier etc. If you'd like to join that would be fine. The link is as below, whats your name? I'll add you when a request comes through.

Hey Baby Deacon,

Wow lovely bumps, you're really coming along now.

I'm not sure why the link isn't working, send me your fb name and I'll add you to the group. Its a secret group so you won't be able to search for it on fb.
