Due towards end of January 2009

[LuluBee]

Hi Charlie and Bellylicious, nice to see you on here. I'm due on the 28th Jan, but have cervical stitches in and am due to have them taken out around the 7th, am not sure how long Pip will stay put once that happens!

Am panicking otday, had a letter from one of my friends at work, she mentioned that they're reshuffling our department and merging it with another team - but with redundancies. I'd feel quite confident my job was safe - as nobody else on either team does anything like it - but am worried because I've had to take so much time off sick with this pregnancy and will be going back part time. I hope it doesn't count against me

Welcome babylicios!

blah i am going with a posh theme and most the stuff is black and white and apparently babies respond better to that colour. The room is an ivory cream, curtains black, got one them things you stick the boxes into black boxes and some cream and white things. When i know if ts a boy of a girl i can add some colour. The radiator is still purple! only because i dont paint it with gloss as the gloss smell near kills me and you can smell it for months after you paint it. I cant stand smell of paint! I have some money tomorrow to order from argos as some of the furnishing stuff like curatins are not in my baby budget so i may get it when i have the money. have the flooring to get i only have half of that. Stuff left over from livingroom so probably just a bit more i need. I hope it looks ok when i am finished as the furnature is second hand like cot and units. I cant afford them with the rest of the stuff.
baby wont be in its room for a few months after its born but need somewhere to pt all the stuff and cloths as i have animals and cant have it lying around the house where they may get at it. Want a nice hairless room, no pets allowed.

Sounds like you're getting all sorted Dragonfly - post some pics when you're done! Helen -that's rubbish about your work, how stupid are they?????????? Make sure they come to you or do something sensible at least.
With my stitches I'm not really sure what will happen, all I've been told is that the stitches will come out when I'm 37 weeks (because the baby would be fully developed by then) and then he'll arrive when he arrives. But beings as there was so little of my cervix left when they put the stitches in they think it's more likely to be sooner rather than later - you watch I'll go through all of this worry and he'll be 2 weeks late and I'll end up being induced!

fs how much does a radiator cover have to cost! i need a cheap one to cover the purple radiator and make it look nice. did find a cool one at like £650! i akways pick the dearest one! no chance of me painting it i aint having deadly paint fumes in nursary.

I worry to about going over! its bad enough countring own the days without seeing them at 0 and then waiting some more! i will be having sex, curry and cod liver oil ! and having everyone on stand by! that will happen anyway as dad is my taxi! taxis here cant be trusted they come 3 hours later. Hope my dad dosnt grumble if i get him out of bed to go and have my baby lol he probably would!

cant wait till my shopping comes tomorrow! i am starving! so hurry up bed time! and i didnt throw up today! woohoo! lol

getting paid tomorrow have to stick the money on my pre paid cad and hit argos for some cool furnature. childs room will look better than mine!

Hello ladies and welcome to bellilicious - hey charlie! How funny that you didn't know we were here!

Blah - i am the same as you - have not bought anything yet. Well besides clothes! Must get a move on really!

Lol dragonfly, i cant stop eating either - and i tend to want everything NOT good for you x

Helen, good news about the kitchen! How is Rosie?

Lulu, reckon your job will be fine - is there anyone you can talk to?

Hi Girls + welcome Charlie and Bellilicous. Always good to have some new people join in.

I'm feeling like it's time to start getting the nursery sorted out but I can't seem to inspire the same feelings in Jon! He regards the babies room as a junk room at the moment. I suppose it's understandable when we have only just moved in and there are still boxes and stuff to be unpacked. I don't suppose the baby really needs a room of her own for a few months anyway. I ordered a lovely moses basket and stand yesterday which will be set up in our room and that I can take up up and down the stairs easily during the day so I can keep and eye on her. I will feel a lot more prepared when that arrives. Jon doesn't know I ordered it, I decided just to go ahead and not wait for him to show interest. He's so busy right now.

Got to work today and then we are driving two and a half hours to see my mother in law and help her with a garage sale at her house tomorrow and driving back tomorrow evening as I have to be here on Sunday for a Taekwon-Do thing. Then back to work on Monday! I can't wait for Christmas so things will start winding down a bit and I can spend a bit more time thinking about the baby before she arrives.

My mum got a really nice, cheap radiator cover and glossed it white for our hall and it looks really good. i shall ask her where it came from cos it was defo NOT £650!



I'm never going shopping late at night ever again! All the bread, cookies and donuts I came back with just cause they were all 10p

Oh and I'm SO glad it's Friday. It's been a very long week.

 

[LuluBee]

Biscuit - sounds like you're being ultra busy at the moment! I'd start researching different furniture and decor for your nursery as there is so much to choose from and huge variety in costs. then when you're ready to physically get down to decorating it you will know exactly what you want. You could always email different options to your mom as well so she feels more involved?
Baby D, thanks about my job, I'd feel much more confident if I wasn't on long term sick becasue of the pregnancy! But at the moment my job involves running art workshops for primary schools and I know that if I went freelance i could earn a lot more money and do less hours so if worst comes to the worst I'll fall back on that.
It's panic stations today though - MIL called at 9.30 last night to say she is coming this morning to start decorating the nursery - and the room is still full of junk (which I can't move) aaarrrrhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Dragonfly]

OMG my ticker has moved up a box!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[LuluBee]

Yay - Dragonfly you're in the last lap now!

My cat's just done a really smelly poo in her litter tray downstairs - it's made me be sick, I'm going to have to rush my MIL upstairs away from the smell!!!

[Blah11]

Helen - my midwife gave me a form which she had signed, I also needed to sign it then it got sent off so I assume you'll need to sign for one too. Ask your MW about it!

+ Talking of animal poop, my mum came back from holiday, bought me a fruit and nut toblerone I ate a bit, left it on the couch and went into another room tolook @ pictures. When I came back 1/4 of my chocolate had gone. There was my little 4lb chihuaua munching it now he's feeling sorry for himself but it serves him right. So naughty!


p.s only, 2 weeks til weeks holiday, 7 weeks til mat leave, and 11 weeks til she arrives!

Awwww dragonfly, try not to let her ruin it for you! Your bundle - your nursery, so you decide xx

Yay it's Friday and for me that means half term and a week off! Woohoo - just had Ofsted in school for the past couple of days, so am extra exhausted and need a rest!

Lulu - that sounds like a fabulous job!!!!

Hope your dog is ok now, chocolate is very poisonous to dogs, the smaller the dog the smaller the amount needed.

If he still shows signs of being ill i'd take him to the vet.

Hi everyone, just popping in to see how everyone was doing. Dragonfly you crack me up ..so nice for you to join the fart baby boxes!!! Hope everyone is feeling well. Helen enjoy your weekend, I know you're busy with kitchen and stuff, but try not to over do it. We've been busy as well. Don decided to paint the hallway and ceiling upstairs after the nursery was painted and who was I to deter him?? Although a big mess with the plastering dust, *cough cough* Mostly cleared away again now. Flippin dog is getting on my last nerve , whining and bawling to go out, then bawls to get back in...always hungry, she's supposed to be a dalmatian but looks more like a spotted pot belly pig.

 

[Dragonfly]
