Jary how funny because I got some things yesterday too - up to one month! Got the 'dear zoo' 2 pack vests and sleepsuit with hat, and 0-6 month sleeping bag (though baby will be swaddled until 3 months), all sainsburys and one sale. It satisfied my urge to buy!
Yours sounds cute!
So jealous of the babymoons! I so need a holiday but can't see it happening before the baby is born as we have 3 weddings which means stag/hen weekends, then family want to visit, so its getting pretty packed.
Talking of weddings, my BIL got engaged like 3 weeks ago and they just set the date of the wedding to 6th Sept 2013, so baby will be 3.5-4 months old. We saw them over xmas and they turned round and said 'by the way there will be so screaming babies during the ceremony' and stared at me! So I replied saying that of course if the baby cried I'd take it out, and I'll have something with me to keep Annabelle entertained. The ceremoney will be 15 mins long as its only civil not religious so they don't have to stay quiet for long, and as if I'd sit there and let the baby cry through it! Anyway I then got a comment about how the brides sister is getting a babysitter for her little boy (who will be 16/17 months old). I think they want us to get a babysitter for our two which is very unpractical because they are getting married 4 hours away from us, we have no family nearby to help as they will all be at the wedding, and to be honest I wouldn't leave my 3/4 month old baby at that age even with family unless it was just for the 30 min ceremony as it will be breastfed so will need me. I was pretty annoyed that they took that attitude when they are close family. Its not like we are just friends of theirs. Anyway we aren't sure whats going to happen, if they insist on us going down the babysitter route then I won't go. I think they think its a reasobale request though because the brides sister left her baby boy when he was 12 weeks to go abroad for her 30th. He was bottle fed but even so I wouldn't have done it. Sorry if this offends anyone who is thinking of leaving their LO's that early but I just personally can't do it!
So we will wait and see what happens anyway!
On a lighter note - 2 days until the scan yay! Bit worried as felt less movement yesterday and today, hoping baby is just in a funny position or doing lots of growing and sleeping. I am also full of cold which might make a difference. I literally can barely breath out of my nose I am so bunged up. Its horrible!!
Hope you all have a nice new year celebration. Mine is going to be very quiet at home, probably watching the fireworks on tv in bed. Anyone going out enjoy the celebrations and your last new year babyless!!
that sounds like a horrible situation to be in! They should think themselves lucky tho a lot of people ask for no visitors at all until baby is settled at home so they're lucky really! And asking for their xmas presents back is out of order! I'd leave them to stir, they say they won't come at all but I'm sure that will change! Hope you're ok hun xx

to everyone else! I still have family here so it's hard to do a proper catch up, but I've been reading! xx
