Curvy ladies

its pretty good Helen, because its an older model its sturdy, it has swivel wheels for curbs and bus and the buggy is fab. I love the fact that its got a good so will protect against the weather and as a buggy its has cosytoes and rain cover with it too. I do like it but was just worried its old fashioned :(
 
Theres is a lot of pram envy out there. You see people strutting about with their prams which cost them £1000 and theyre lovely but really, its a pram. As long as it does what you want it to then spending that amount of money on something is just insane.

Maybe get a nice modern pushchair for kitty when shes 6m (or whenever they start using a pushchair, i have no idea :p ) then youve had the best of both worlds. Pushchairs are much cheaper as well. I saw a lovely quinny in costco and it was about £50!

edit, oh its a buggy too. well you could get a second :p
 
gah. the hospital changed my heart scan. ffs.... its brought forward to next mon but why cant they just bloody make their mind up. its not as easy as just telling my boss i need time off.

have my scan tmw too, will be nice to see baby again and check all is healthy but im not counting on a nice fluffy experience like saturday. its at 4pm. Might book a 4d scan at 32w or so, rich says he'd like to see baby and i think we're gonna sack off the growth scans. £140 tho, eek.
 
From what your saying rach it sounds like a great pram/pushchair. Id go with it and when Kitty arrives if you decide you dont like it after using it, i would then buy another. Pram envy is horrible tbh dh would let me have whatever i want in terms of spending money on a pram but i just dont see the point in spending an obscene amount of money my friend spends hundreds on the newest travel/pram system and you can guarantee a few months down the line shes bored of it and buys a light weight one...i think its crazy.

Yes gap is great learnt my lesson there though dd's wardrobe was full of it...never brought one item for ds from them just way to expensive for a baby lol! Good idea though hit ebay! Im watching some pram toys from mamas and papas..need to see how much they are new though before i bid x
 
oh god no, not new! Theres quite a few bundles on ebay for £2 or something so have a couple of bids on.
 
that sounds great...you got me looking at baby gap now...only looked at the girls stuff...omg im in love...MUST STAY AWAY FROM GAP!!!

Grrr at the hosp by the way...you have no bloody luck with them! I try and tell you there not so bad (hehe) and they just constantly mess you around! What hospital are you under? x
 
its st michaels in bristol, tbh everyone i know has had shit care from them. everyone on here says theyre great but irl friends just have nothing good to say. they didnt taint my view of it btw, i work there quite a lot and hate the place. Every single client i see there has something go wrong, or theres some kind of hiccup.

someone i was talking to today had cysts or some kind of weirdness of her ovaries. she had keyhold surgery at st mikes and had said that she would prefer not to be opened if it can be avoided (it would mean 3m off work) but obv do whatevers necessary. there were complications and the surgeon had to open her up in the end but delayed it so long that he screwed a lot of stuff up in the process. then blamed HER for it because of her unwillingness to be opened up. Shes since been to a private dr who said she didnt even need the surgery!

Shes having ivf now because of the op - maybe would have needed it anyway, but it cant have helped.

Im trying to chill about it all tbh but they dont make it easy. hope the scans nice, the NT was good tbh as it was a consultant rather than a nurse. They dont do routine NT scans here so the plebs arent trained. I assume its the same with the heart scan, wont be much to see i suppose but will be interesting seeing it all.

rich just got home and our clapped out old vw camper passed the mot with only one warning about some bullshit thing. woo! it needed loads of work done last year because for the last 10 years its gone to a total cowboy and there were things like the passenger seat swang round when you went round corners lol. was fun (weeeeeee) but not safe at all and obviously a fail :rofl:
 
My hubby is a mot tester and even he says some of the things they have to fail you on are mad...and its only set to get worse apparently...hes been going on about more silly things they will be adding to the list for failing and warnings etc etc.
 
Jayne, too bad your parents didn't really care for the flight. My parents have never flown either. Dad wants to try, but mom is completely against it. You should have heard her when I flew to Brazil a few years ago! She was a nervous wreck the entire time, just knew I was gonna get killed in a plane crash! lol

Han, sorry OH was being a jerk this morning. We try to do little things to make life easier and they jump down our throats for it. Men!

Why don't you all have baby showers??? That sucks! Sorry. Wasn't trying to brag, just didn't realize you don't have them.

Rachel and Helen, I get what you mean about hating the fuss of a baby shower. It kinda bothers me to asking for gifts, but my sister's doing it all and they keep telling me people will want to get us stuff anyway, so may as well make a party out of it. And I'd say with my sister doing it, it will be a major girly ordeal! lol But she wants to do it, and I get free baby stuff, so I'm all for it!

Helen, oh that's awful about the lady losing both babies so far along! When I went through it last year with Asher that was the worst time of my entire life. I don't think I'll ever fully get over it, but losing 2 must be double the pain! Poor woman!

Rachel, I think the stroller is really cool and unique, but you should get what's going to make you comfortable. I agree that you probably will get looks, but in a positive way, especially from older women.

Everybody keep your fingers crossed for Nick tomorrow. He takes the test for the new job he's hoping to get. He's already passed the interviews, so it sounds like as long as he does well on the test he'll have the job! :happydance:
 
Cherry, most of girls who have these 1000 prams normally don't have a pot to piss in. Waste of money. I plan to spend no more than 200/250 for a twin. Helen ur friends story makes me wanna cry:( I went throu a loss at 19 weeks and I'm soo fearful of loosing these two:( felt them kicking proper that oh felt it.
 
I don't get the $1000 stuff either! Nick is dead set on getting one that's $300 and it's the most expensive one in the store. I still can't stomach even paying that much! Seems insane to pay that much for something just to push the baby around in.
 
Oh maybe i should have spoilered the news about the other lady. She did share the statistics of how likely it was and it was so small. Just crazy bad luck and as I say there was some weirdness which I'm sure they would have picked up on early scans but she didn't have em unfortunately :(
 
Sunshine - good luck to Nick - hope the test goes well, i would love a girly girl baby shower...i had lots brought for me with dd then not so much with ds i suppose ppl just think they already done it once hehe! I was just thinking of what ppl got us with ds and we actually had lots brought for us pram, cot, steriliser, baby alarm. I was spoilt! Using the pram again and the cot, got a new steriliser (10.00), using the alarm again too.

Im so tired this morning...hubby woke me up early as its our anniversary, hed got up ridiculously early and gone to asda and got me flowers and chocolates...may have to open them for brekkie lol! Having a bit of a soppy moment and thinking how much i love him and how i would be completely lost without him.

Got my sis and her four kids coming over today and my bros gf and their son..eeek gonna be madness!
 
Amy, fingers crossed for Nick :)

Thanks Spellfairy, I dont get expensive prams either really but Ive seen some nice ones second hand for £60 more modern and mine was £30 so it was a bargain, not a thing wrong with it. Mums bringing it over tomorrow so I shall have another play with it and Im sure Ill be fine.

Well, wind went but now I have pain on right lower side when I bend forward etc. Ive spoken to Drs and Im seeing MW on Thursday before we go away just to put my mind at rest. Im fine when Im sat down, just when I go to get up or bend or sneeze. Google was very kind and said it could be round ligament pains.

I just ate egg on toast and was lush!

Have a good Tuesday :)

Morning girlies,

Rach, I love your pram, I'm sure it will be more than suitable and its very cute, love the design. Hope you start to feel better soon, like the others said on fb just watch how much/intense your cleaning is...Lol.

Amy, best of luck to Nick, hope he gets the job, fingers crossed for you X

Spellfairy, Oh your poor friend, thats just such bad news, hope it hasn't worried you too much, how are you doing anyway?

Helen, hello.

Jayne, Have fun today.

Hi to everyone else too.

I'm in work again today but I'm off tomorrow. I'm a little nervous becuase Holly is going off on a trecking holiday with my sister tomorrow. She has to get the train down to Euston on her own and then my sis is picking her up and they're flying to Geneva to start a 10 day trek along the snow-line of the alps!! Bless Hols, shes pretty fit but hasn't done much trekking before, they've got to carry all their stuff and they'll be staying in log cabins each night. It'll be a wonderful opportunity for her to spend some time with her aunty tho but I'm just worried something might happen to them!

Anyway must dash xxx
 
P.S. Anyone heard from Jade?? She's not been on in a while. Xxx
 
I was thinking about Jade this morning and wondered where she was. I hope shes ok
