June Bundles of Joy - 2016

Pixie, my last pregnancy I got most of my clothes from.next because nowhere did it in store so I bought loads to try and sent loads back. This time I have bought everything from H&M and a couple of bits from New Look, they both had nice stuff in. The only places where I live that still stock maternity in store is H&M, New Look, Mothercare, Mamas and Papas and Debenhams.

Angel I love those clothes! I have never looked at babies clothes on Frugi but they do some breast feeding friendly dresses xx

'Accidentally' Angel those clothes are so gorgeous though! I wish I'd had gender confirmed & could feel more confident about my pregnancy so I could buy things.

I'm babysitting for a friend & their cat has come over to sit on my stomach but it has really long nails & keeps snagging my pinafore...

 

[Lavochain]

I've never heard of Frugi but those clothes are cute. I got some more bits in Sainsburys yesterday for under £3 each, I've just filled half of my wardrobe with Rupert's clothes. Better take it easy for now.

Really sorry to hear about your grandma hun. I hadn't seen your post until now (hugs)

This time I've got some lovely maternity work trousers from mothercare. And my jeans are from topshop, their 'joni' ones fit like a glove but I bought some 'Leigh' ones as I love the look of them but the 12 hang off me and the 10 are far too tight. Which is frustrating. New Look is best for tops, they're cheap but look nice and you don't feel bad giving them away to charity or friends or the bin (!) at the end of pregnancy x

Mommy so sorry to hear about your grandma

Angel I love the dinosaurs!! I've never seen girly dinosaur clothes around here! Precious!

I just returned from a consignment sale and bought so so much stuff for baby. Tons of new jammies and other clothes I felt I couldn't live without. The best part though is that I only spent a total of about $22, which was actually for four big bags of clothes for all three of us! I got dd some stuff to grow into and some nice flowy shirts that should work as maternity tops for me.

Love, love, love frugi! I have a few of their items on bookmark until we find out the gender

I hated not being able to try on any maternity clothes instore - I ended up buying all of my maternity clothes at Next online.

Just a flying visit as we are in our favourite reateraunt having some lunch. We went for the scan and the baby is really healthy, or should I say HE is healthy. We are having a boy. He wasn't very cooperative and was facing my placenta but we got a few nice bottom shots

Hope you're all well and look forward to catching up later.

wow congrats!!!!!!!

Congratulations Lavochain!
Our scan went well, baby very cooperative and all the measurements were good.
Well we are also on the BLUE team
Had to buy a few bits after the scan.

congrats!!!!

Boo we've not found out the gender yet but we already have a boys name I love it too. This is our last baby, I'll be sad to see the name go unused lol. Not sure Gabriel Thomas is so lovely for a girl though

you can always do gabriella and call her gabby!

Welcome lav and congratulations to you and tink and welcome to team blue!

Have any of you other team bluers got any idea of names yet?

I couldn't resist buying my baby boy some bits in next today even though I never usually buy this early!

The baby grows are first size and I think will be to take to the hospital, and the little outfit is 0-3 - I just adore baby boy leggings!

ours is James

Congrats on the blue bumps!!!

Boo I have had my heart set on Jude since we found out I was pregnant, but I also had Rupert and Robin on my list this time. I keep asking OH tO think about names but getting nowhere so far.

I managed to sort through all of DD's baby clothes today. It was harrrd but I have got a small bag of my favourite dresses and outfits from the last 2 years for if we ever have another girl or to make in to a memory bear. I now need to get rid of 6 massive bags full of newborn to 18-24m clothes. Xx

oh i just did that yesterday. terrible isn't it?

Hi ladies

So at first it was difficult to to get bub to uncross its legs lol i had to crawl on all fours, but we are also team blue!
I am so in love with him already

Congrats ej!!!!

Tink we just used regular baby wipes. Our hospital (according to my sisters lol) has always been very strict on cotton wool and water, but aparently not on the post section ward all the midwives carried wipes in their pockets for nappy changes (since mums who had had emcs or complications weren't always able to get up to baby) I figured if the midwives weren't too fussed I wouldn't bother. Xander never had nappy rash or anything g anyway or I would have switched. Surprising since his wrists and ankles/feet were cracked and bleeding.

I want to get some yarn today to make a blanket for a friend's baby shower next weekend. I need to pick her up a gift too - any suggestions?? My mind is blank!

I always get my friends things they don't think of. like they always put big items. But i get the littles. Like the best diaper cream, laundry det for baby, toothbrush, sometimes the first box of baby oatmeal or rice, things they don't normally think of so that when suddenly they're told they're supposed to be brushing teeth they already have the stuff. They don't hve to go searching for it. Or the soothing lavender bath stuff for nighttime. orajel for the teething. ice teethers. anythign that will make everyday life easier.





afm my day plans were changed. Gram was admitted to the hospital yesterday not looking good. i spent the day helping mom clean the carpet. gram had broken a lamp and cut her foot on it, and bled all over the room. so dad took her to the hosp and we cleaned.

I'm really sorry to hear about your grandma, I hope she gets better soon.

Sorry to hear about your gran mommy.

 

[wishuwerehere]

Sorry about your grandma, mommyofone

I get maternity tops from new look and trousers from h&m. Last time I sold the trousers after as i think they keep a bit nicer than vest tops.

 

[Becyboo__x]

I really don't remember having anything with my son
I've been getting pains in my stomach now its gone to more period type pains? And I feel I'm leaking unless thats poor pelvic muscles I'm not sure if she's pushing down on my bladder a lot ..

 

[mommyxofxone]

becy i get those weird pains too. i think they're moving around onto something down there. I never had them with dd but this time around yikes.

Saw gram yesterday, not looking good. they're talking hospice care. they can't get her to eat and her back is broken in two places, and of course then there's the mass in her head. she fights them all night long and tries to get up. but when we visit in the am, she sleeps all day cause she's exhausted from the night.

Beccy why don't you pop to your local assessment centre for a check over if you have pains and possibly leaking? They can check for you. I'm sure it's just discharge etc but there's no point worrying over it x

 

[Starlight32]

Tmi. Today I have weird pains in my butt. I don't know how to describe it. Sore? Its more noticeable when I'm walking about. I would think constipation but I've recently have a bm today. What could this be?

Ouch! I get this a lot and it is a pain (if you can excuse the pun) no advice though sadly as mine just seems to come and go without warning.
