:) I know! I think Papaya was 3 weeks, but now I am not sure. It all runs together lol.

We went looking at carpet for the nursery yesterday, it was very exciting, but all the options were a lot more expensive than I thought they would be. Most things are it seems though. Can't wait to get started on the nursery!!
 
I can't wait to start nursery either. Bought car seat yesterday which was exciting!
 
Hey Emeraldmoon, of course you're not too late! :wave:

broodymrs - we got a car seat yesterday too :) which one did you go for?
 
Welcome EmeraldMoon.

We got the Graco Logico S HP. I signed up to Which so I can check out the reviews on everything baby related! It fits in a our smaller car without a base (which according to the reviews is safer) and the bigger car needs a base randomly. It's still got great ratings with the base though and it will be easier for getting baby in and out quickly. I'll be using the bigger car mostly.

What seat did you get?

Had a pretty dramatic weekend actually. Found out Fri evening my irresponsbile little brother who has gone travelling Oz managed to find time before he went to knock up his ex! Just so many dramas there I can't even get into it. And on Sat found out last weekend my MIL spiked me! That sounds worse than it is but basically she put rum in a fruit salad she then gave to me, so I am fuming about that and praying it's not done any damage. I've not even had a glass of wine or anything since I found out I was preggers! Argh!!

Anyway trying to distract myself from these dramas by buying loads for baby!
 
Broodymrs - which sounds like a really good idea! we went for the maxi cosi pebble in the end while the sale was on in mothercare. I've read some good reviews about it and they showed us how it all strapped in and such while we were there.

Oh no! Whats your brother planning on doing about that then? I'm sure the rum in the fruit salad will be absolutely fine so try not to worry about it. I'm the same as you and I havent touched a drop of alcohol since I found out I was pregnant but know that some pregnant women have a glass of wine here and there quite often and nothing is wrong with heir babies once they're born! I know what you mean about being angry though as I would have been too. She should have at least told you it had alcohol in it before serving it to you. My OH's grandma almost did the same earlier in the year, making a trifle with lots of sherry in it but thankfully I remembered christmas and the amount of sherry that she put in the trifle then and said I didn't want any.



where's everyone feeling kicks now? It's random for me, I don't know if she turns around a lot but today I'm feeling a lot of kicks above my belly button again so I think she's either still head down or has turned back head down!
 
We got the maxi-cosi pebble too, got that a few weeks ago while it was on sale. Seems to strap into the car really easily and is so easy with the pram we bought.

I'm sure the rum wouldn't have done any harm broodymrs. As SisterRose said, quite a few women have an occasional glass of wine or a cheeky shandy while pregnant and don't seem to cause any problems. I've been really craving a cider but haven't touched a drop of alcohol since Christmas, wouldn't drink while we were TTC, and am managing to ignore those cravings right now. Lol.

We've had a busy weekend really. I've been working all weekend and today OH bought himself a new car (well, new to him). It's a 2004 reg but it really good condition. This way we know we've got two reliable cars that the pram will fit in once pumpkin's here.

Welcome emeraldmoon!!
 
I think maxi cosi pebble was in the top 10 so think you've got a good one!

Feeling kicks all over and i have had what feels like feet under my ribs, ouch!

My bro is going to give the relationship another go but he_doesn't want to come back from oz for another 5-6 months and she wants him back now so they're not speaking. I'm just trying to keep out of it.
 
Welcome emeraldmoon! What team are you, and I will add a stork next to your name on the front page.


I got this car seat https://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=16548906 , that way I could just snap it into this double stroller I bought to get the toddler and new baby around. https://www.toysrus.ca/product/index.jsp?productId=11291073

I don't know where it ranks, but I just did review research and finding something that would make going for walks with both wee ones easy was a priority.
 
Hi :)
I'm team :blue:

DH and I went looking at buggys, cots, moses baskets etc in mothercare yday and boy is it a mine field!

My SIL (DH's sis) is giving us a Maxi Cosi car seat to use from birth and we're going to look at reviews online to figure out what buggy etc to buy

Also looked in Tesco (I'm in the UK) as they have a baby event and didn't know where to start with what brand of new born nappy (diaper) or milk etc to get. Didn't know what size to get as there are a few choices depending on how big the baby is too.
We're a bit overwhelmed to say the least!
 
Emeralmoon - we got a barely used icandy apple off eBay that the maxi cosi goes into so easily. And was so much cheaper than buying new! I bought a few packs of baby wipes and bits in the tesco baby event. We're not buying many nappies because of the differen sizes. We'll get a couple of packs of pampers new baby, they go up to 14lbs and my friend who's just had a little boy said they were the best she found. Instead we're buying gift cards everytime we go to tesco or sainsburys. Only for like £10 each time but so once baby is here and we know what we need, we've got the money put aside specifically of that.

Maze, sounds like the perfect car seat for you but omg, car seats are really expensive there!! Lol.

Broodymrs, I hope your brother figures out what he wants/needs to do and steps up. :)
 
I haven't decided if a stroller is really necessary for us. We never really go anywhere, and if we do, we can just use a car seat/carrier. I did register for one, but I don't think we need it yet. Maybe in the spring?

V-Day tomorrow!!! I'm already celebrating in my head. :-)

Ive been looking at the nappies in tesco too, and was going to buy the boxes of nappies that're half price £15 in the smallest size as I expect to go through a lot in the first month! seemed like a good deal. I also reccomend tesco home brand nappies as we started off with huggies and pampers with our daughter but found that tesco ones are almost half the price and are really, really good. No leaking and very absorbant so we won't be buying the brand name ones again this time.
I'd also reccomend looking in morrisons as they have a baby event on at the moment too and even though i am planning to breast feed, i got a breast pump for £16 and a 6 pack of bottles for £9.99 the other day :D

Also...we're gonna get the silvercross surf pram from mothercare x
 
Welcome emeraldmoon! :wave: :flower:

Sounds like you've gotten some pretty good stuff, ladies! We don't have a whole lot right now and probably won't until later.

I'm pretty much feeling kicks everywhere, but mostly on my sides and hips, though occasionally I feel them around and above my belly button and my ribs.
 
I'm gonna go with travel system route. The one I registers for and got enough store credit to go get after my last shower ( we had a lot of doubles so I returned a bunch of stuff!) now says its no longer available! The registry is at Walmart. It doesn't say out of stock it says no longer avalible! I called the company that makes it (evenflo) and they said its a Walmart exclusive and they still make it! Wtf! I know someone on here works for Walmart. Do you know what all of that means? It's the evenflo journey lite travel system in galaxy.
 
For nappies which says the best are pampers, then aldi then asda. Think we might get a few of each to try.

Sister rose: we've been given a silver cross travel system but it's too bulky for what we want so may sell it. If u don't mind second hand you're welcome to have a look at it. Let me know and i'll send you some pics if you want.
 
I don't know much about online stuff, but I pulled the item number. I can see if it's in stock at a walmart near you. I facebook stalked you for your location, hope you don't mind! The warehouse might be on backstock or something, but a store might have it in stock. Give me like... 20ish minutes and I'll have an answer. It's been a long day of cupcake making, so I'm ready to do something else. :-)

Oh man no, we didn't pay that for the seat lol. We found it elsewhere for $175 in the US. Toysrus in Canada has some of the worst prices for baby items!
 
Girlnboots you were a lot of help! I called all around me but they only had the display. I managed to find one at the local store by my parents. They are going to pick it up tomorrow! Woohoo!
