[pebbie1]

Yes they are the best as you can add or take off a few layers of them to keep baby at the right temperature. X

Hi all!
Just thought I'd drop in and see how everyone is.
I'm officially done at work now thanks to this stupid muscle and generally getting so tired now it's madness.

How are things now you are home pebbie?

 

[pebbie1]

Hey! Had my check in hospital this afternoon and the medication is doing its job very well so far! Seeing the consultant on Tuesday.
I've got 2 weeks left in work and can't wait!!!!!!!
Absolutely exhausted here as well. Hope my nesting sets in soon so I'll get something done in the house hahahahaa

 

[Zfbaby]

Really glad to hear it pebbie! You must be relieved it's working so well.
My nesting has definitely kicked in but have zero energy and it's quite painful to move so I'm making dh do all the cleaning. Ha ha well see how that goes I'll probably end up doing I again anyway.
So glad I've finished work but wish I'd had the chance to have a last day and say goodbye to everyone.

My nesting set in super early! I love it, I went from being really lazy and not wanting to lift a finger at the start of pregnancy to having the whole house gleaming everyday!

Hope everyone is doing well

Still waiting on the nesting to kick in..... Didn't have it with DS either. Think I am missing that gene.

Gorgeous quilt char. I am on maternity leave in two weeks (9more work days!) so am leaving everything till then. Bunting/ quilt/rug/ cushion/ wash bags/ shoe boxes decorated with ribbon/ wall hangings and window decorations for nursery. Hopefully doing some dribble bibs and a changing mat too. I have given up on the crochet. I need a different teacher. The woman who was teaching me explains things in a way I don't understand!

Glad things are going well pebbie.

Zf- have they said how your stomach muscle will impact your labour?

Ducky- I am clueless too. Can't remember anything from DS. I have cotton blankets too. I know they say when checking baby's temp to feel their tummies, not hands and feet.

 

[Little Ducky]

Glad to hear that Pebbie!

I'm envious of those of you getting to leave work soon, I'm sticking it out until the beginning of May but I wish I wasn't!

DH and I went to a NCT nearly new sale today, omggg it was carnage Lol

 

[OmiOmen]

Unfortunately I have no nesting instinct as of yet either. My muscles feel like mush now though, I can't believe how achy I am. The more walking I do in a day the more I hurt and the more swollen my feet become. I already feel ready to burst!

 

[pebbie1]

Same here! I was trying to get something off the fridge the other day and my arms went tired as heavy after like 5 seconds!!! No strength at all and I feel like I'm ready to pop as I can't imagine my belly getting any bigger than it is now! lol

 

[babyface15]

This is a sleepsuit (so they're the little outfits they wear over the vests)
And then the cardigans. Depending on how warm it is, but my baby won't wear them inside, but if its a bit warmer outside baby will wear the cardigan (little jacket) instead of a coat over the vest and sleepsuit.

bahaha pebbie - love you!!
I misread your first msg and thought that the sleepsuit goes on over the jacket. I think we are on the same page with jackets and sleepsuits. I thought you meant this by vest hehe

But all the same I didn't realize they wore the little vests under everything. Mom tells me its to stay warm and protect their skin from rougher outfits

 

[babyface15]

glad to hear you're done work zfbaby!!
And pebbie good news that the results are looking good. Only 2 more weeks to go.
Ducky poor you, I am staying on until1 month before my due date which I think sucks. But you know I bet the time will fly!
haha Passion I don't know where my nesting instinct is either. I think it's hiding somewhere lol.

I have to say I don't feel like I'm going to pop any more. I thought I would be bigger now than I am. Which of course has me all worried! My friend at brunch commented on how it looks like my bump has changed and gotten lower. Maybe baby has dropped? I might take a pic and get your ladies opinion

 

[babyface15]

On topic with all this baby clothing talk - I am panicking BIG time about what to sleep baby in?!
I'm a first timer, and I know NOTHING about what babies should be wearing, how warm they should be, etc and I just kinda thought in may baby would want to sleep in a baby grow and a blanket, but I mentioned that to my MIL and she told me that they shouldn't have blankets because they can get too hot/cover their faces/die/other terrible stuff, and they have to sleep in like sleeping bag things... so I googled sleeping bag things, and the general consensus seems to be not to use those because the baby can wriggle down and get too hot/suffocate/other terrible things...

So now I'm all worried, and panicked and I dont know what I should be doing

So tell me ladies, what will your sleeping arrangements be for your LO's?

sorry hun I missed your q.

We have a moses basket given to us by friends, a pack n play and a crib. Not sure what we'll use for the first few weeks but then move the baby into the crib. We're going to have the baby in the room with us for at least the first 6 months or whatever ends up working best.

I think you guys call a crib something different so I will attach a pic lol. This is our actual crib bought by my in-laws for our shower
As for blankets, I plan on swaddling and using sleep sacks so long as baby doesn't hate it!

I will have a Moses basket for downstairs and a swinging crib for my bedroom

My daughter used to sleep a lot in her bouncy chair tbh downstairs, if he likes his Moses basket, then I will put the basket in the swinging crib til he's bigger.

I don't finish work til the 17th may! Ages away

I put baby in vest and sleep suit at night, and I used a blanket aswel if really cold.

This is the swinging crib I have : https://www.toysrus.co.uk/1/1/23720...ib-white-babies-r-us-moses-baskets-cribs.html

Not in white though.

My mil wants to take me to next durin the week as let me pick out the sleep suits I wanted ...

Bought this blanket today: https://m.mamasandpapas.com/search.php?q=Blanket#product-2229C9200 .. Love it, we got the one from the gingerbread lane last time so had to get our boy his own this time!

Also bought the rainforest deluxe play mat today! Shop shop: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B000FFL58Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1363470874&sr=8-1&pi=SL75

Same here. Swinging crib in our room, pram carrycot downstairs, cot in bubs room.

Did you buy anything baby? I missed our local one yesterday

 

[charbaby]

I have a moses basket, swinging crib and a cot.
Got the rest of my essentials for hospital bag just incase I need to go in for anything, going to try pack it sometime this week

 

[pebbie1]

We had Marielle in the Moses basket in our room. But she was the worst snorer ever!!! We were awake half the night and so was she so after two weeks we couldn't cope with it any longer so we put her in her own room and since then we all slept loads better!!
We'll try again with the Moses basket in our room and see how things go this time round

 

[Zfbaby]

Passion- they've not really touched on it I just get the "wait and see".

My nesting has kinda kicked in. I've got 1000s of lists of jobs I want to do but I'm so tired I'm finding it hard to get through them. He he he making dh do it all, best of both worlds.

31 weeks midwife appointment on Wednesday, Looking forward to seeing how baby is measuring this time and find out what position she is in! Not sure if they will take bloods to check on my iron levels or leave it untill the next appointment to give the iron tablets longer to work.
Anyone else got appointments this week?
