[Inoue]

Im such a bad friend for not loggin on recently *slaps hand*. Congrats to all who have had ure scans, such an exciting tine!

I got a letter from hospital saying my appt scan on Monday is now on the Tuesday so ive got to wait an extra day to see my LO . Not too bad but I was so excited for Monday.

Scally, can u change the front page that my 20w scan is now on Tuesday 10th x

Hehe I just got another bargain! Rainforest jumperoo in excellent condition for £30 off of someone on a Facebook sales page I know it's early but too good a price to turn down. Last time we paid £55 off ebay

I LOVE finding all these bargains! X

 

[time]

just got home from my scan! baby was fine.. had no idea how long the scan would take so i am feeling achey now! baby was far down on my left side so they had trouble seeing the bottom of her spine, so the sonographer sent me to walk around the hospital and do some star jumps! when we got back baby had moved slightly and we could get everything we needed! confirmed she is a little girly so so happy!

sad that that was my last scan though

[Scally]

Hello!

How is everyone doing?

And with those still to have scans, hows the wait going?

I am trying hard to keep grounded with the stuff i want to buy, if i had my way we'd be zooming up to Mothercare today! But I am restraining myself and trying to go for secondhand/cheaper things but my god they do some adorable clothes! (and some things buy one get one half price at the moment!)

We have bought a little chest of drawers to put in our room for baby, so at least she wont have to share drawer space with her sister yet! A bargain of e bay- going to pick it up today! I am very excited and know i'll want to get straight down to sorting!

Im still miffed about having to wait till Tuesday . I just hope today and tomorrow goes quick. I m really looking forward to seeing what my LO looks like and see whether she freaks out again . Also hoping they can say the gender so I have sneaky confirmation! Got busy month with baby deliverys, I pick a gorgeous liliac pram up on 23rd, my homebase nursey set is being delivered on the 16th and my kiddicare nursing chair on the 29th x

Hi ladies!! So pleased everyones scans going really well! congrats to all of you

My scan is tomorrow at 2pm, nervous but excited!! obviously team yellow so not finding out but kind of wish we were.. I know when the time comes I'll be glad I waited though.

Now I have a favour to ask! You all seem to be buying stuff.. well all we have is a couple of newborn baby grows.. I have absolutely no idea what we need!! Can anyone do me a list for a first time mum of the stuff that you genuinely so need? My list so far is as follows:

Pram
Car seat
bouncing baby chair thingy
nursery furniture
gender neutral clothes
coming home outfit
first toy!
breast bump
bottles
bottle steriliser
bibs
muslins
grow bags
nappies

this is list a written diarrhea list, I need help! xxx

 

[Scally]

Hey pops! Oooooh exciting for your scan, it is amazing staying team yellow, we did with my daughter and the surprise was wonderful!

Your list looks good, I'll have a look at mine and see if there is anything you've missed.
Change mat
Bath/bath seat
bottle brush
fitted sheets for cot/moses basket
we have got a Morrck for the car
Carrier- if you want to baby carry
Car mirror- you attach to back seat so you can see baby is ok when you are driving
Breastfeeding pillow
Breastfeeding things- breast pads, lasinoh, nursing bras
Stuff for in hospital- maternity pads, big knickers
Hooded towels
Breathing monitor/monitor
We have got 10 newborn sleepsuits and long sleeved vests and the same in 0-3
Nappy sacks- we found the best gorgeous smelly ones to be Sainsburys
Sponges/flannels

Boo to you having to wait longer!!!!!! Fingers crossed it goes quickly for you!

OOooooooh baby deliveries- sooooo exciting! I have a few packages to come from e bay this week and I cant wait!!!! Your pram sounds lovely, can you put on a pic when it arrives? x

 

[Inoue]

^^ Yep, will do . Im buying it off a friend so I get it at a cost price (normally about £350 in kiddicare). Ive actually already got a pram but I dont want it anymore . Babys been really active today with flutters, maybe due to all the chocolate ive been eating.

All the best tomorrow pops23 x

ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!! MY HALF WAY POINT TODAY!!

 

[time]

good luck today pops! and tomorrow inoue! sure today will go quick, hopefully, and 20 weeks is an amazing point to make i feel as though this last week has gone soooo quick since i hit half way!

pops: i think you and scally have covered most things, i also have a gym mat on my list, for tummy time, plenty pf blankets with ours being winter babies, a snowsuit, baby toiletries, thermometer (room/bath and baby), hair brush, nail clippers, and i would say plenty of sanitiser for guests visiting when baby is tiny (better to be safe than sorry!!)

 

[Sarahcake]

Good luck today Pops and Brunette
Not long now Inoue and congrats on the halfway point! Such an awesome milestone, did a little happy dance last week when I hit my halfway point

Went shopping during the weekend and picked up our first lot of baby things Nothing too flashy, just some basics. Went into Primark and was surprised with what we managed to get for a relatively small amount of money! My favorite purchase is the snow leopard suit, my OH picked it and its gorgeous!

Happy to have been able to go out and get some stuff! My shopping urge has been sated....for now.

 

[time]

awwwww that leopard suit is gorgeous may have to go and get one of those!!!!

 

[Sarahcake]

I sat at home when we got it and just hugged it, its that soft and fluffy!
That one was from Mothercare and was £17.50 down from £20. It was our most expensive single purchase but we just had to have it!

 

[Scally]

Gorgeous purchases sarahcake!!!!

Good luck today pops!

Yay for halfway point Inoue!

[pops23]

Thanks ladies!! leave at 1.30, scared but excited!! xx

 

[Sarahcake]

Thank you Scally!
Bout time we got some stuff really, the only thing here baby clothes wise until that point was a Darth Vadar outfit....my OH is a massive Star Wars fan so that was his first purchase lol

Now I just have to talk him out of making that Logan's first outfit...

How are you doing Scally? Did you have a nice weekend?

Oooo not long now Pops

 

[time]

it is pretty nerve wracking the anatomy scan but so amazing to see baby for such a long time and in such detail! once it is done and everything is fine it is so relieving!!

i've looked on mothercare online for the snowsuit and nothing comes up.. may have to go in store to find one!
