Afternoon all

Is it just me or is this heat killing everyone?It's horrible! Have fans going all over the place and im still roasting!

Rach,i think your pram is lovely,funky and retro.Don't give a shit what anyone else thinks....nothing gets on my nerves more than judgemental people!If you are happy with it that's all that matters,and like someone else said,if you do decide you want something else instead i'm sure you'll have no trouble selling it on.
I don't get people spending tons of money on prams,for the use you get out of them its crazy.Even ones that change to pushchairs usually get replaced by a lightweight buggy.I have bought my friends mothercare my3 with the car seat for £50,she hasnt even had it 12 months and i felt a bit guilty only paying that for it as it was in fab condition(she hasnt even used the pushchair seat its brand new).We went in babies r us and looked at the red silvercross 3d with a free car seat,which i fell in love with,but when she offered us hers i jumped at it.I love a bargain!
I am going to pick up a fisherprice rainforest bouncy chair today for a tenner,its only 3 months old too!
We have done really well so far,to say we didnt have so much as a baby sock left from the boys we have got a pram-paid for by another friend, a cotbed and mattress(brand new bought by my sister in law),2 moses baskets and two stands(given to us!),2 baby gyms(given)enough boy clothes to see us until 12months old(all given)Closer by nature tommee tippee sterilizer set with bottle warmer,8 bottles and tons of other bits(bought by my dad from babies r us).So far we have spent £50 of our own money on a swinging crib and that was with a brand new mattress,drapes and bed set!

Round ligament pain sucks!The pain when you move suddenly kills! I get it worse if ive lain on my back,and go to get up quick.Ouch! I'm then rocking like a weeble trying to turn over as i kow its gonna hurt,a lot.Also get it when i cough,sneeze,laugh in certain positions!

Right,enough waffle, i'm supposed to be stripping the bedroom wallpaper!

Have a lovely day girls x x

Forgot to ask,is anyone else suffering with swollen ankles? I say ankles but my whole calf seems to blend with my ankle and foot!Have fat toes too

Am seriously feeling sooo unattractive, im knackered,in fact im feeling like absolute shit today Please tell me i'm not alone.

 

[cranberry987]

My feet get quite heavy at night sometimes a good rub and elevation tends to sort em out tho. The amount of fuss dh makes about having to rub them. Hes going to be useless at rubbing my back in labour

The heat doesn't help does it. I'd say drink some fluids and put em up

In hospital which is like an oven and there's 500 ppl here waiting for a scan. Grr. Need food and air....

Thanks for the pram comment I feel ok about it today, I think I was just having one of those days!

I dont have swollen ankles but my feet are major puffy by about 11am and my fingers feel like fat sausages by this time of day. the muggy sticky heat here is killing me! Our living room is like a sauna and Ive had the fan on all night in our bedroom! It keeps spitting with rain here, we need a good storm!

[cranberry987]

Omg I have to come back again.... Baby transverse and wouldn't move off his back so they couldn't check the spine. All fine tho and confirmed boy

 

[Tizy]

Hmmm, I have been ok with the heat, there was just one night when I was exceptionally hot!! and luckily no swollen ankles etc yet! But Chris you're not alone, I too feel very unattractive, fat and bloaty, defo not sexy in the slightest!

Aww one of my landlords at work just asked how I was doing? and how long I had left to go! So must defo look preggers and not fat (like I'm feeling) Oh the bain of a 'Curvy Ladies' life is her chubbiness! Perhaps if we all get breast feeding we'll all be 'skinny mini's' before long! (hehe, not really holding out that much hope for this - since Holly was rubbish at latching on!).

Oh really!!! God Helen, you're not having much luck!! *giggle* Oh well more chance to see little bubs tho! Try to look on the positive side!

So can you feel that the baby is transverse in ya tummy? or do you just feel normal. I suppose they still have plenty of room. Maybe this would explain the high up kicks round ya belly button??

Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

They're doing it next mon right after heart scan so isn't too bad. Better be some cooperation next time or I'm gonna unleash the cold water on him! Scans are lovely but today was my 6th and I've got 5 more at least!

I feel kicks and jabs all over tbh so I think he does move but I can't rly tell which way he's lying. Although I felt jabs at the top and bottom yday so I assume that's top-bottom lying.

 

[Cherrybinky]

My bubba was transverse at all my scans and no one batted an eyelid or said anything at all. She does move around a lot though. Her hb is normally to the left of my belly button and I get kicked just above so she must move. I hope things are ok Helen x

 

[cranberry987]

Yeah transverse is normal at this stage. If he'd have been on his side would have been fine but he was face up and she couldn't get an angle. Its all fine.

 

[Rees]

Helen - that cot is lovely! I wish we had a white one Ours is just a boring cheap pine one from argos, although the cot mattress will fit into a toddler bed so all we gotta do is get a new one for baby in April/May

Jayne - I hope your cousin's baby is getting better, girl names, hmmmm, it's tough coz I can't think of many that we both like I quite like Kasey and I loved Rhianna last time but that went out the window when we found Tegan

You could always pick a name for a kids TV show? Peppa, Holly etc... (I swear if this is a girl and we ask her what we should call her she'll say Holly

Helen - I really liked Astrid for a bit There's a girl in my mum's school and she's called Astrid and mum told her mum we like the name and she said that she's never come across another Astrid! (Strange!)

The babystyle Oyster is amazing! Looks a lot like the iCandy's and it's easy to push (was on my list for a bit ) Had a test drive around the pram store my auntie works in and she said it's a really good pram

Rach - seriously, don't care about prams, yeah I get pram envy REALLY BAD, I always look and see how fast I can make out which one it is and I'm constantly pointing prams out to Luke and to my mum. I saw a LOVELY really old silver cross, like one from the 60's/70's and both me and my mum were practically drooling.

You might get the odd funny look, but I get them too. Last year a stranger was telling me how handsome my boy was (in his pink pram wearing head to toe pink! ) People will judge you if you have an old pram, new pram, the latest model, last years etc....

Helen - have a look at M&Co for baby clothes, they are amazing quality and wash well and are a decent price (Yeah, I used to work for them but I love their kids stuff! Tegan has loads!)
Some hospitals are pants But the only thing we can do is complain and hope they work! Shit about the girl who they messed up

Amy I can't imagine losing a baby I hope Nick has done well today

Jayne - Happy anniversary

Han - Holly's holiday sounds fab She'll be alright, she'll come back a bit tired I expect though

Chris - the heat is killing me too We were out at the park this afternoon and the sun came out and I felt like I was melting

I love the fisherprice bouncy chairs They're so good! We've still got the one from Tegs, can't wait to give it a good clean

No swollen ankles, not that I've looked, but I did notice my puffy fingers They were lovely and swollen and hurt like hell to bend them Bring on autumn! It's gonna be hot again tomorrow and I've got midwife, so I hope they don't go puffy again It's far too early for this crap!

Helen - you're bloody baby needs a good poke! Bloody men! At least you know you'll be seeing him again hun! And he'll have grown loads in the next week!

Jade has defo gone away Not sure if she was going for just a week or more?


Well, I went and looked at the house today, its bloody lush! I swear we could fit this house into it twice! Letting agent seemed lovely and seemed to like us. We were up front and told her that we get housing benefit etc... and I said that I wasn't sure what to put down on my form for work as I'm not allowed to give out many numbers etc..

We've paid the holding deposit, but so have another couple But she only wants her name on the tenancy, not his, and have to move out of their place by Aug 10th! She said that she's prefer us as we're working and they're not! And that they seem a bit dodgy, but it's all going to come down to which of ours references are better! Eeps! My personal referee is my parents neighbour who happens to be a town councillor and has known me forever.

We'll find out by Thursday if we've got it. It is so bloody nice though! The box room where the boiler and washing machine will go is about the same size as Tegan's room now, her room will be about the size of ours now and our new one is nearly double what it is now! The kitchen is nice, the bathroom is nice (It has a bath!) and the yard is double the size of ours too. And the house is old enough that someone stuck a pantry in the kitchen under the stairs Love it!

And Luke has an interview tomorrow! I really hope that this is everything falling into place, July was so bloody shit anything good that happens this month is a bonus!

First full day off in 4 days and I had an hours nap before tea. I feel like an old lady! Tegan has been such a little cutie today though, I even managed to get a kiss from her

Really looking forward to hearing the baby's heartbeat again tomorrow Need to compile my mountain of questions for the midwife! (Group B Strep ones, chicken pox ones, my hurty hip pains etc... fun!)

I want to go to sleep again already, but I'm not gonna coz I've got loads to catch up on

Hope you're all keeping well xx

 

[cranberry987]

The house sounds amazing, really hope you get it and pass on good luck for the interview, fingers crossed things all fall into place!

 

[Tizy]

Hey girlies, all quietish here tonight!

Leigh, I have my fingers crossed for you, the house sounds fab!!

Has anyone else already started stalking the third tri???? I just can't help myself, I'm bored with the second tri now, but still 3 weeks + until officially third tri!!

Han Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

ive not really bothered with the tri boards tbh, every time ive looked theres just nonsense in there.

im bit bored tonight, had steak for dinner, was lush - felt a bit funny today and i think red meat once a week is a good idea tbh at the moment. wish it wasnt so bloody hot, how anyone copes being pregnant and massive right now i dont know, i dont think id leave the house, glad to be due in the winter tbh

 

[Rees]

Third tri is hellish in this heat, been there, done that It really doesn't feel much different though from being early 2nd tri to 3rd tri and wanting baby out!

There's no way I'm stalking 3rd tri yet Only just come over to second. I like the birth announcements and story's in the baby section

You'd think as I have a toddler I'd spend more time in the toddler bit, but I can't stand it in there hopefully the baby forum is better, was a bit busy last time with Tegs and had a massive desktop pc, it's easier to get on here now with my little netbook.

Thank you for your fingers crossed girls My mum keeps saying not to get our hopes up about the house, but she said that about here too and we got this one!


OMG, just looking at Tegan's ball pool which is one of those pop up ones from argos and it looks like it's bloody ripped! I don't want to go and closer and look just in case it is Hopefully it's the green paper she had out that's under it and not the bottom of the ball pool *sigh* Gonna get Luke to have a butchers in a min!

 

[Rees]

Ok, panic over, it was paper *phew*

I swear, she breaks so many things I dread to look some days! At least she went to sleep easy enough tonight! We're now reading some fairy stories as I need a break away from Pratchett and doing the Nac Mac Feegles voice So Wintersmith will have to wait. She fell asleep after Rumplestilskin, which I've never read before! (How have I missed that?)

 

[cranberry987]

I mentioned Alice in wonderland to my 6yo neice and she had no idea what i was on about. Couldn't believe it esp as there's a film now

 

[Rees]

I know Alice My uncle took me to see it when it was performed at the local theatre was amazing

Got the book too, although the copy is older than me Need to dig it out to read to Tegan. Haven't seen the new version of the film yet, don't know if I want to ruin the images in my mind.

Although was chatting to a guy at work and Alice was Lewis Carrol's child bride apparently! He was meant to be some dirty old perv

 

[cranberry987]

The film is good but it's kinda a different animal to the book. If you watch expecting it to be the same you'll be disappointed.

I've got an ace book my grandpa gave me when I was little. It's 3inches thick and has all the stories like twiddle dum and jabberwocky I think is in there. 'twas brillig and the something or other. Think that's in there at least. Not read it for ages but i cant imagine where else I would have read that phrase
