January Jellybeans 2013!...

[Soniamillie01]

Deedee - what a lovely surprise.

Melly - Rennie's are fine, I checked with my GP and the pharmacist and she made me laugh by saying they'd be closing down if they weren't pregnant safe as it's pregnant women who buy them more than anyone else!

Span - you're not far from me, I am in Horsham x

DeeDee, that's so awesome. My favorite quilt that I got for baby at the shower is one this gal named Bonnie made herself. Its the white one with blue and green circles sewn on the front with blue flannel backing. She's kinda like my "adopted" mom out here. I can't wait to see pics of Matthew wrapped up in his quilt!

 

[La Mere]

[sassy_mom]

Deedee what a wonderful surprise! How nice it was for them to give you those gifts!

La Mere - I use 1 cup of Borax, 1 cup of Washing Soda, and 1 bar of Ivory with Aloe soap (you can use regular Ivory, I just like the one with Aloe in it). I grate the soap like cheese and stir it all until it is well mixed, stick it in my little jar and I think I only need about 1 Tablespoon per load maybe 2 if the load is heavily soiled. There are several ways to make both dry and liquid. I have found this is the easiest. You can also use the Fels Naptha soap.

This has seriously been the longest day for me. I have handled so much today with shopping and crossing things off my list and handling phone calls for DH ... now I'm sorting through baby stuff and I realized finally having my diaper bag in front of me ... I can't remember for the life of me what I actually put in there. HAHAHA! I had that moment today .... I have a 4 year old and I am use to my 4 year old ... potty trained, do it yourselfer and now I have to start all over and felt completely clueless. yikes! lol!
I left the baby stuff sit for now and cleaned my kitchen and am doing laundry. I thought I would come back to it later. hahaha! Folding laundry sounds easier at the moment.

Thank you everyone for the compliments on the dress. I really love it. I bought some cotton tights and just in case those didn't seem warm enough, I also picked up some little pants that would go well with the dress. Can't wait to see her in it.

I worked 14 hrs today. I need to stop doing this. I only have one more 12 hr shift scheduled then I start decreasing my hours and wrap up the week before Christmas. No swollen ankles or feet but I am sore!

 

[sassy_mom]

wow ditty! That is quite a shift! Get some rest in there somewhere! I'm sure it will be nice to have a decline in the hours. Glad you aren't having any swelling but make sure you are taking care of yourself and not overdoing it.

 

[ARuppe716]

Ugh... I slept for an hour before we went to bed then got up to brush my teeth, etc. while exhausted. The lights went out and I was then wide awake. I've been up since 11pm and its now 4:30! The irony is we have a newborn care class in the morning... I'm getting a taste of it now!!

 

[snowangel187]

So kinda having an oh crap moment right now. DD was asking how many days until Christmas...realizing I'll be giving birth the day after if not sooner. Eek. 39 days or less.

 

[Kaiecee]

I have refused to talk to dh so far he will learn u can pull stupid crap with me then pretend u didn't do anything the worst part is while we were having a little fight his mom out of everyone tells him to call his ex back!!!! Wtf are u KIDDING ME we have a baby coming we plan on getting married and she says call ur ex I don't even know what to do about her now cuz I know his ex I went to school with her and she's not a nice person and for 3 years used dh for what he had so that makes me so mad I'm just so angry

awww!! I have a little maltese and she is the best too!!! My husband and I are OBSESSED with her!!! I am concerned about once the baby comes too! Some tips I heard was while you are in the hospital still with the new baby, have someone bring a blankie with your new baby scent on it and bring it home so your puppy gets used to the smell. Also, when you come home for the first time with the new baby, set the baby somewhere and greet the puppy as you always have and give her lots of attention before introducing her to the baby!
Here is my little Lola

[DittyByrd]

Welcome Mummy! This is the only thread where anything goes! I think we've talked about everything from bowel movements to sex to leaking breasts! It's a great group.

 

[Mummy.R]

I just cant believe how fast the time is passing. Im getting so excited now!!!
I work as a childcare giver and finding it harder to get through the day this time around, as i have a Toddler to chase around after work hours!!!
How long before you are due are you taking mat leave?

I am stopping about 4 weeks before I am due. I don't get paid maternity leave nor am I at the whim of an employer. My job requires me to be on my feet for long periods of time so I decided to stop well before my due date!
