So ness is this something you have to live with forever or will it go away? I don't know too much about it.

Ooo Ness I picked up a loaf of that genius bread today at work and even though the bb date is the 27th June it just felt so hard and uninviting Made me think of you and the stuff you have to eat that just isn't the same.

It is hard and crumbly and just not the same I feel silly getting myself upset about it because I know theres nothing I can do to change it but its just so hard (literally lol).

I never feel fully satisfied at meals either so constantly hungry and nibbling at stuff. Sometimes all you want is a slice of toast with just butter on *sigh*

That's what I mean I picked it up and it was like a house brick Have you tried making your own gluten free bread? I can't remember the name of the flour as Tesco don't sell it anymore but there was a customer asking about it the other day. Or does it still taste just as bad?

 

[Nessicle]

ducky - it's a life long gluten free diet unfortunately and the longer you have lived gluten free the less you are able to tolerate like if I had a sandwich I'd be in pain for days and have blood in my poops and stuff. If I were to eat it long term your body starts to attack it's own tissues and then you stop absorbing vitamins and minerals you get very ill.

Yeah it's still pants Sammi - plus to make you're own GF bread you have to make sure that every ingredient is exact or it end up a right mess lol, I'm definitely not a baking kinda girl either!

Poor Ness lots of hugs!

Oh god people I've started bidding on stuff on ebay.... my OH is going to tell me off lol. I can't help it though. It's not big things. I've just ALWAYS wanted one of those nursery thermometers that changes colour so you know if the room is too cold or too hot (strange I know) and it's a good deal.

Hi thanks about names#
Kerri i agree boy for me and i think there will be plenty of blue

Ness that must be horrible my mum has to eat crappy bread like that and she always tries to give me it!
I am going to bf but still going to expres so will also need bottles ect, but no dummies for me ds never had one or sucked fingers so i plan the same with this one.
Just been in to mothercare could ahve spen a fortune but instead came out with a toystory book for bradley!!!

So were going to get that next tuesday!!!!
We might get our cot then too undecided whether to get the humphreys corner as its down to 150 from 300 or i might get one from john lewis as my friend works there so can get 20 % off x

 

[Nessicle]

thanks guys - it just really helps having you all to moan to

Ducky they sell those thermometers in Boots for about £3 I think in the baby section!

 

[ducky1502]

I have been SO lazy today, I have spent pretty much all day online looking at baby stuff when my house is a mess and I should be cleaning and doing washing! Plus my OH is working 8am-10pm as overtime makes me feel guilty. He works SUCH long hours and I only work part time but finding extra work whilst pregnant and the fact that I am throwing up until lunch time most days isn't easy

 

[Nessicle]

ducky I've become very lazy since getting pregnant lol I just can't be arsed to do anything - I do work full time 37 hours a week but OH has been great doing the washing and tidying etc. He always vacs up too, but he's always done that. I'm trying to make more of an effort with the house work but the last thing I want to do when I get in a 6.30pm is clean so sod it ha ha

 

[Kerrieann]

Jake had a dummy and it was a nightmare, especially if we lost it when we were out and he would scream and scream until we had to go and buy a new one and then weaning him off it was hard! So this baby is defo not having one!

Ness i feel so sorry for you, i couldnt cope on that diet

 

[Nessicle]

I'm gonna try not to give baby a dummy either. I have bought a few just in case it's the only thing that stops it from screaming lol but really want to avoid it if I can.

Lol thanks Kerrie - yeah its really tough, especially as I adore bread and pasties and pizza (pizza is my fave food ever!) x

 

[Kerrieann]

Jake only ended up with a dummy coz we had one in the house! It came with the avent starter kit we had bought, if we didnt have it i dont think he would have had one tho so im going to avoid it by just not having any, dont wanna go through all that palava again lol!

Pizza is my favourite too!! But am starting to go off it abit

 

[ducky1502]

I just wanted to get a rough idea of what everyone has bought so far.......... and also why? Was it just a good offer? Excited? Spreading the cost?

Because I cleared out a drawer to put baby stuff in and so far it has the I love daddy sleepsuit I got for OH for fathers day, a pack of bibs that my mum bought and a really cute knitted blanket my OhH's mum got at a car boot yesterday. So I actually haven't bought anything but the sleepsuit..... I'm starting to think I should actually be buying things now..... I have NO idea where to start!

 

[cho]

I think dummies can be used rightly and wrongly i dont agree when some people give them to kids everytime they cry, when actually your not sorting oput the reason there crying, i know some babies like it as a soother though!
Ducky i have bought

One outfit (no reason just cute)
fisher price Baby bath (got 10% off as it was at the baby show)

https://www.mamasandpapas.com/produ...m_re=Category-_-CradlesSwings-_-StarliteSwing

This because it was 100 at the time and i got it of ebay for 50 brand new!!! its so cute it has starlights on the hood!

Loads of bottled bits like baby bath ect (i grab whenever they are on offer, same as nappies and wipes)

All my tommee tippee bottles i got in tkmaxx and they were really cheap and my steriliser

Nappy sack wrapper bin (was on offer(
I only really grab things that are on offer same as my buggy, its on offer at themo so going to buy it next week, but if it hadnt have been on offfer i would have waited till it did as i hate it when things go dow after

 

[cho]

ooh and i have a double electric breast pump but i got that of my cousin as she swears by it thinks its medula or something

 

[lozzy21]

Ducky i spent over a year in WTT. For me it was having an OH who wasent ready, saying we couldent cope financaly ect.

Fate had other ideads and he hasent mentioned it once since iv been pregnant

That place was home for me and it took me a few weeks to stop automaticly going to that board

 

[Nessicle]

this is what I've bought so far! Just cos I thought they were cute! I havent actually bought anything useful yet apart from nappies and babywipes as I thought the sooner I start stocking up the better! Plus we need to get rid of the bed in the spare room first before we can start buying the bigger stuff.

 

[cho]

ahh cute ness!!!
I really want to buy clothes but it hink if i had a girl i wouldnt want her in neutral colours or a boy actually! lol

 

[ducky1502]

Wow! I feel so behind.

With things like nappies what size are you buying? I've heard you should only buy 1 pack of newborn size because if you have a big baby then you're going to end up with a load of nappies wasted! This true? I also don't know what kind of nappies to go for, was thinking of going for more natural nappies or biodegradeable ones or to just go for huggies/pampers......

 

[Nessicle]

I just couldnt resist

yeah I haven't gone mad that's all I'll buy neutral and probably just use that stuff when it first arrives for when we're at home. But once we know the sex we'll buy proper outfits and a snow suit etc

well the Pampers New Baby go up to 11lbs so they should be fine to use for a few weeks unless you have a mammoth baby

I'm just buying size 1 - I have about 5 packs and will just start buying size 2 soon
