That makes me laugh, considering all I have, still, are the baby clothes. Oh, I did splurge and get some nursing bras, but I'm tempted to take them back because they were so darn expensive, and the only real difference from a normal bra is they have a little plastic clip on the strap. Jeesh.

I got my nursing bra's on Ebay. One was a bargain at £5.99 & the other not bad at £9.99.

Lol G, I cant stand it i like 2 be organised lol,

EB nursing bras how many sizes do u go up or do u get ur normal size, i was gonna get messured up for them but i bet they will try make me pay more

 

[godivalocks]

I got a couple nursing tanks, and a few nursing sport-type bras. They were about $17/piece, which is probably somewhat equivalent to what you spent.

The tanks I wanted most, since I should be able to wear that in the hospital and not have to have everything on display, iykwim.

 

[Elliebank]

I presumed you just bought yr normal size TBH. That's what I've done & they do seem a little too big so maybe they are bigger on purpose to allow for growth

I got what size I am now, pretty much. You will go up in size when your milk comes in, but from what I read, it should settle back down closer to what you are around now. I figure with stretchy tanks, sport-types, it gives leeway, either way.

Also, the breastfeeding class I went to said to try and stay away from underwire bras, if you can, and get bras with sewn support. Underwires can contribute to clogged milk ducts, etc, if I recall right.

G- thank you, i might order them off line then, tank tops sound like a good idea as well

I'm trying to hold off going shopping until family is here. I'm hoping to inherit a crib from friends trying to get rid of theirs. I will be purchasing a travel system a little closer to the date, and hopefully inheriting another car seat for back-up.

Family is supposed to bring some diapers/wipes/bath stuff for baby. I have clothes, but I'll probably pick up a bunch of plain onsies. I'll also probably get a baby backpack since I don't see myself lugging around a baby carrier everywhere.

Hmmmm, crib sheets/pads.

That will probably cover me for now. Honestly, you really don't need a whole lot to start out with.

I have NO nesting instincts at all and I hope it stays like this...I hate housework and only do it when I have to I loveeee cooking though and have been doing that loads lately and Liam thinks that's my nesting instinct so I'll leave him to that

Ahh I have had some wonderful news! One of our realtives was told she was infertile and so they gave up trying as they couldn't have IVF due to him already having kids...well 3 years down the line she's 12 weeks pregnant with a happy little bean! am so happy for her

 

[maybethistime]

I know wat u mean twig, my friend had been trying four years got told only way she would fall would be through ivf but they decided to get married first then poof she falls preg she has a 8 month now, and she thought that was a mirical well she is preg again after 8 months of trying doctors really no nothing lol

 

[Twiglet]

Exactly...sometimes I feel that doctors are too easy with the word infertile.

I was told I'd have to wait a longlong time before getting pregnant and that my chances were really slim...well I got pregnant on the pill so boo to them!

Ahh and another baby? Bless her such a lovely thing when people get pregnant after being told they wont

Hey girls,

Ah thats so nice for your friends and relle's to be having babies when they shouldnt - if you get me?!

Hope everyone is well? I had my exam today which wasnt too bad to be fair. I dont think I'll do as well next wk with chemistry and physics - but you never know! Lots of revising needed me thinks...

Well today I am suffering. EVERYTHING hurts! Back, bones, legs... and sorry girls Im not cool and the gang - I have nesting - but Im a bit of a clean a hollic and im always cleaning so its not different. Just tonight (even though Im in agony from being out all day) I have had the cupboard under the stairs out and cleaned it all!

I got me some rasberry leaf tea today too. I figured if baby is 6lb now, she'd be ok being born - so Im starting! Long walks, lots of curries and tea. Fingers crossed!! Not too sure about the pineapple though, my insides are unpredictable at the best of times - let alone bum wee!!

xxx

sorry to hear you're hurting my feet and legs were sooooo sore by the time i went to bed from being on them all day sorting out the nursery. i couldn't stand on my feet cos they were so swollen it hurt and i even had deep creases round some of my toes where the skin had swelled so much! i've left a message on my facebook status saying 'ellie isn't here right now, leave a message with elephant lady and ellie will get back to you after the birth!!'
