January SnowAngels 2012, 2nd and 3rd Tri

[5-a-side]

Thanks to all those who popped in over at my journal
Yes, We're having a GIRL so Team Pink please for us.
Hope everyone is well. DD1 is off on a school trip today, left at 6.45 and not getting back til 9.30pm! Me thinks there will be one grumpy 10yo by tomorrow evening.

Got the Estate Agent coming round today to take pictures of the house to get it up for sale.

Going to check out if there are any NCT nearly new sales nearby soon. I loved going to them when getting sorted for dd1.

Right time for school

Thanks for updating the front page Rees. Still Boy domination though isnt it.
Will you start a new thread when most are beginning 3rd Tri? Just wondered that.

I hate waiting for things, Estate Agent isnt coming for another hour yet and he'd better be on time too so I can do school run.
Its scary putting house on market half-way through pregnancy, could literally be homeless by time baby girl arrives.

I remember my Mat Leave with dd2, last shift was on the Sunday and she was born on the Tuesday, 3 weeks early. She obviously didnt want me resting up before her arrival. How long is maternity leave now? I think its all changed since then.

i lost track of this thread im now due 1st jan with a blue bump

 

[truly_blessed]

hey hun, you can take upto 12 months but smp is only paid for 39 weeks.

*EDIT* then you can tag your holidays for this year at the front and next years at the end if you wanted to

I actually hate my neighbour and her stereo! What makes it worse is OH always takes her side with his "you cant say anything it will make them do it more" and "there's no point having a go her" comments. Does the man not realise that I am tired, hormonal and in pain or discomfort 90% of the day?!

Sorry for the rant!

3 Girlies - i love the name Freddie!

I havent been able to stop eating, Im getting really worried about how Im going to shift this weight once baby is here!

 

[Dizzy321]

LM i would be going next door & getting them told grr

I feel fat as hell too but trying to be positive x

 

[TillyMoo]

Hey ladies!

Congrats to all who found out if they're pink or blue & congrats to those who managed to stay yellow!

Paula - well done on keeping positive on the weight gain. I'm trying to do the same although I feel like everyone around me is shrinking.

LM - come January your noisy neighbour will be so knackered by the sound of your noisy newborn she won't be in any form for her stereo Seriously, sorry you've got that problem - I know what it's like to have noisy neighbours & can totally appreciate how it drives you crazy! x

Think my UTI has cleared up, yay for antibiotics

 

[KristelB]

Hiya ladies could I ask how many onesies, footed sleepers, etc for each 3 months (0-3,etc) we should plan on having? I think I'm buying too much 0-3 plus the possibility of more from baby shower gifts,

 

[3RARwife]

hi ladies

Happy V-day to me

KristalB i'd say proberly 6 0000's and 7 000's onesies and footed sleepers. you will get alot of people giving you those sizes at a baby shower. proberly a few in 00's wont hurt either for those colder spring/summer weather.

TillyMoo for antibiotics

LM men are to thick to think you are tired and in pain maybe you should call the coppers on your neighbour i always wake up with random scratches and bruises, too buzy to notice i've done them i suppose and i'm terribly clumsy

Daisy congrats on V-day! have you tried lollies after she 's used the potty. i know not very healthy but it worked with my first. got lucky with my second she trained herself

3 girlies congrats on your blue bump. bet your hubby is over the moon

5 congrats on the pink bump i hope you house sells quick and you can get set up in your new house before bub arrives and christmas

Maz ewwww curry i have quiet a sweet tooth at the moment i'm normaly a salt and potato person.

Paula hi i hope you and blue bump are doing well

Lintu i didn't manage to crush my girls by ending up on my front. It'll defiantly let you know if your restricting their space (punch, punch, bladder kick)

21 mine kicks me in the nerves all the time, naughty baby's

Rees welcome back!

Getting a bit bummed about my eldest starting school in January but i guess they have to grow up.
Think i might make some cupcakes

 

[3RARwife]

24 week bumpy. i think that bump needs some sun

Same! feels like everyone is losing weight and I am just huge (I am anyway but still ) plan on dieting when baby is here and shifting this weight...bring on the pram walking (might be a big icey like lol)

glad your UTI cleared up

Awww look at my chubby baby today! 23 weeks
He has not stopped moving all night and he's still going for it this morning

Hope everyone is well x

 

[Dizzy321]

Lovely bump 3RARwife! and happy V day!! x

Kristel- Ok, bear with me here- hope this makes sense - In the uk we call the all-in-ons, with little popper buttons up the front & inbetween the legs & covered feet - sleepsuits. We call the little vests with short sleeves & legs that go over the head & button inbetween the legs - bodysuits.

I actually can't remember how many sleepsuits & bodysuits etc I went through with my first (will be getting all my DS's baby clothes down from the attic in the next couple of weeks & as I couldn't bear to throw anything out at the time I'll know exactly how many I had!) BUT I *think* he had 6 sleepsuits & 12 of bodysuits in each size (I found I needed more bodysuits due to leaky nappies, grr).

I know people say buy loads unless you want to be doing washing every day - well I do remember doing washing every day / every other day but that was because I couldn't stand the smell of poo / milk stained clothes sitting about! We used the tumble dryer a lot too so it meant we could have his clothes washed, dried & ready for action in about 2 1/2 hours.

As for wee outfits such as cute t-shirts, jeans etc - I wouldn't even bother buying any for a newborn as they'll most likely be wearing their sleepsuits 24/7 for the first few weeks. Maybe a couple of day outfits for 0-3 months but you'll probably find you'll get loads as gifts anyway.

Nice bump rarwife! Jealous though as you're still looking pretty toned Happy v-day!

Aw Paula, I'm sure we're just "glowing" he,he. Not long now to our v-days

 

[mmcheek1]

well i think me and hubby needed this break he is away for the week training and i am really starting to miss him. i will prolly attack him when he gets home(well after he showers) lol he has been in he field training army stuff. It will remind him of when we were trying to get preggers.we ave not been getting along super well lately and i know that 95% is me i hate my hormoned this time and my body always hurt. its so weird like i have worked ot or something i just plain hurt

 

[LM2104]

OUCH! I really ache today, and I have loads to do which is not good.

Glad you feel better Tilly.

 

[daisybby03]

Had growth scan today. Girl is 1.10 lbs and boy is 1.14 lbs. Both still transverse. I do have to go see a specalist b/c my boy looks to have an enlarged ventrical is his brain. They want the specalist to look at it b/c she has much better ultrasound machine. I am nervous, but I guess there is nothing I can do but pray he is ok and that it is nothing.

 

[LM2104]

Best of luck daisy, I hope all goes well. Please update us as soon as you have seen the specialist! Do you mind me asking what an enlarged ventrical means?

Those sound like good weights though!
