***December Dreamers*** 70 babies born***

[Nessicle]

i came over early too Louise! at 11+6 ! x

 

[lozzy21]

Ooooooo my MIL is going to set up a payment plan for my pram this week

 

[Nessicle]

i've found mine its a petite star city bug (i think that's what it's called) and it's £150 from boots and comes with a car seat to click on the top of the pram too!

 

[lozzy21]

Im getting the silver cross linear freeway, its big but we dont drive so baby will be spending a fair bit of time in there

 

[ducky1502]

Me and OH are struggling to agree on a pram! He wants the icandy peach but that's going to cost about £800 with all the bits, whereas I am happy to go for the icandy cherry that is about £500! The reason he wants the peach is because the stroller is SHINY and not matte like the cherry! MEN aye!!

 

[Nessicle]

we've been offered a pram but it's quite big and we only have a ford focus lol so wouldnt be able to fit the pram and baby in the car

OH's mum and dad want to buy the pram and we decided not to spend too much money on, some of them are soooo expensive!

 

[ducky1502]

I'd be happy with a cheaper one but my OH has that problem where if you show him 10 items he will automatically like and only like the most expensive one! It's such a pain.

Also, is anyone thinking about antenatal classes yet? I started googling it last night and found people who were still very early on being told they couldn't have them on the NHS because they were already booked up (some of these women were only 16-20wks). Have you looked at the NCT courses? I've found some good ones in my area for about £110 for a weekend course. Not really sure what to do. Going to mention it to my midwife on tues and see what she has to say about it.

 

[Nessicle]

I got told to hand in a form at 20 weeks for the NHS classes so gonna do that

Lol ducky my OH has no interest in picking a pram - he lets me get on with it as he hasn't got a clue as to what we need or the different stuff avaialble out there x

 

[billylid]

Well it might sound silly and a little bit early, but with the sales on over here we couldnt pass it us. We put on layby our pram and nursery furniture today. We were really chuffed

 

[ducky1502]

I wish I could buy stuff. OH doesn't want to buy ANYTHING until 20wk scan is done. He says he doesn't want to jinx anything. He also doesn't want to buy any big bits until later on or we'll just get too excited plus we can't buy furniture as we don't have a house from 23rd august as yet

1 wk 6 days til my gender scan wahoo!

 

[lozzy21]

My OH isent botherd about the pram, hes said its going to be me pushing most of the time so he would rather have something i want. Im going to get him to pick the colour though.



Iv been thinking about antinatal classes but more for OH than for me. I know whats going to happen but he is being rather blasea (sp?!) about it all. If i bring him to a class with me he will have to listen.

 

[sammiwry]

All the classes my way involve morning sessions which neither
me or dh can do so unsure what to do as I want us to go together and think it might be useful for us to go

I am so happy to move over to the 2nd Tri ! 13 weeks today.

And I need to change my due date listed. It was the 12th but we are now due Dec. 18.

I am feeling great, but still very tired. No ms though so I can get through the sleepiness.

 

[louise1302]

ok ill come over early

im not feeling too bad these past few days "touches wod" the sickness seems to have let up and im not as tired did this happen for everyone else yet? i can actually eat a meal now too without wanting to throw up halfway through it

still waiting for an appt for my nhs scan and booking in (my own fault for going in late) and as far as prams go im getting the babystyle prestige in doodle black

 

[peaches31]

everything is much better here today! you ladies where right! he calmed down then apologized and said he loves me and wants whatever makes me happy. i told him to stop stressing so much. i will plan everything and you just show up! lol

i want one of those strollers that the car seat snaps into but i cant seem to find them. does anyone know a web site where i can find them?

 

[ducky1502]

peaches lots of places do them here in the UK, not sure about where you are. Try googling travel systems because that's what they're called over here.

 

[ducky1502]

Does anyone else find having something to count down to helps with the waiting?!

Right now it's 3 days until my MW appt, then it's only 10 days til my gender scan, then it's 4wks 3 days til my 20wk scan............ It's all a game of counting down to the next thing keeps me sane!

 

[louise1302]

ive got nothing to count down to yet lol but i will , i used to do it all the time for archie

oh i can count down 8 weeks today til holiday

 

[Mincholada]

2 more nights sleep and i'll finally see a doctor and hope he'll do a scan and everything that needs to be done. 14 weeks today! enjoyed some time at the pool, cooked some super healthy dish (whole wheat pasta, organic broccoli, good shredded cheese, made a sauce and turned it into a gratin) and now getting ready for a suuuuper long shift at work. 5 PM til 2:30 PM... baaaaeeeeh :-/

Antinatal classes are classed as apointment so you are legaly alowed to take paid time of work for them
