I'm about cd 32 lol.. We got maxicosi cabroli fix I used Moses basket but our pram was bigger so used tht more. He was in his cos frm 10 wks but he is a giant lol. Xx

 

[cupcake1981]

Id get a moses mrs d, you can move them from room to room, will a cot fit in your room when baby grows out of moses?

We have a maxi cosi pebble, didn't like any of the m&ps prams, there's a big mothercare by west quay, they are really good in there at taking you through all the prams x

 

[cupcake1981]

Also if you get a pebble you can get the family fix base, which you can also use for the next size up car seat, the pearl.

 

[MrsDuck]

We went in there today cupcake we looked at the maxi cosi but you have to choose a different base for the car seat dependant on if your car is an isofix or needs the belt, our 2 cars are one of each typically so would need to buy 2 different bases. We were considering the m&p because the car seats work on iso or belt or base and click into frame for pram and the same frame can be used for the lay down/Moses style pram, which I thought could be used as a Moses basket style bed until he/she goes into a cot??

Nope I don't think a cot would go in our room coz its fully fitted so we wouldn't be able to get to wardrobes or drawers, but a Moses basket would be fine.

I'm glad I haven't left this crap til the last minute, there are too many options haha

Cheryl you normally have about a 30 day cycle don't you? What a nightmare

Cupcake I like your new ticker

 

[cupcake1981]

Yeah we have that problem, but figured since I was gonna be off with him we'd get an isofix base for my car, and if hubby ever needed to transport the car seat in his car, would just use the seatbelt to secure it.

You would need to check if the carrycot on a pram is suitable for overnight sleeping (ie use as a Moses basket) I'm not sure all carrycots are. Ours can be but they say only occasionally. What prams have you looked at? If you come in to portsmouth go to baby 2000 they have so many prams are know everything about everything and will spend ages with you.

You could get a Moses basket for the day time, while baby is small, and get a wooden crib for your room so that baby can stay in with you until it's 6months, they take up less room than a cot. That's what were gonna have to do.

Are you enjoying all the baby shopping? It's a minefield isn't it. Do you want be to email you my totally anal baby shopping checklist? One thing I will say is get LOADS of moses sheets. Zach sometimes gets through 3 in a day where he is sicky in his sleep, I had to go out and buy more! So now have 12 to use between the Moses basket and carry cot.

 

[CherylC3]

Yeah the maxi cosi car seats are very easy to seat belt in I hav the isofix base in my car and dh and my mum just uses the seat belt. My pram is joolz earth and babies can sleep up to 9 hours in it we used the Moses basked like cupcake said its eary to move from room to room but Leo grew out of his at 5 wks

Yip my cycles were around 28 days so il wait another week or so and if af isn't here I might got to the drs.

I want af so bad I had a dream it came last nifght lol oh and Leo slept 7-6 second for a second night starting to feel human lol."

What are u ladies doing today? I'm getting my hair done thank god...x

 

[SATH]

Sorry not been on all weekend.

Mrs d sounds like you are having a fab time soooo many choices bet your head is spinning.

Hope everyone ok. Have a good day.

 

[SATH]

Hey where is everyone? Guess who arrived today damn her! Had a lovely weekend at least.

 

[MrsDuck]

Back home now yay, I'm knackered, bloody work tomorrow I could do with the day off

Cupcake yes please, I really could do with an anal checklist

Why can't babies sleep in the carry cot that attaches to a pram, it's flat and is more or less a Moses basket just not wicker?

You are right it's a minefield haha

Cupcake is hubby back to work now?

Sath noooooo the bloody witch I'm sorry

Cheryl I hope the witch arrives for you soon so that you can get out of limbo. I hope you enjoyed the hairdressers

I just tried the Doppler but nothing, only 70's, 80's 122 and 137. I know it's really early so not worried, I just thought I'd give it a go

 

[cupcake1981]

Haha send me your email address and I'll send it over.

With the Doppler, the 137 is probably baby! Zachs hb was usually between 130 and 150. It will sound like a train. Go on YouTube and watch some videos, they'll show you what your looking for.

 

[CherylC3]

Hey aw sath I'm jelous I want af lol I sound like a broken record the now. X

Aw mrs d my friend came to mines to do our hairs I did hers and she did mines a good wee deal we hav lol.. Yeah it is early for the Doppler. X

Hey cupcake hows zack doin?x

Afm Leo sat him self today for about a min oh and second night him sleeping 7-6

 

[MrsDuck]

Whoo hoo big boy Leo sitting on his own, he looks so big in your avatar. Yay for sleeping all night too. That sounds like a great deal, I'm desperate for a chop, I've been trying to grow it but I'm sick of it now

 

[CherylC3]

Aw u will need it long so u can tie it back lol... Yip my boy is a giant lol..x

 

[cupcake1981]

Aw haircuts, my waters broke the morning my pre-baby haircut was booked in......I still have rats tails now , dunno when I'll get to get it done, and we have our photo shoot next week to .

My insurance company told me today that I can drive whenever I feel ready to, I thought I had to wait 4-6 weeks! Does this sound right to you guys?

 

[CherylC3]

Yip I drove after 4 wks mines said as long as the dr said I was ok. Xx

 

[cupcake1981]

They said I didn't even have to get approval from my doctor, it's whether I feel up to it?!?

 

[CherylC3]

My dr made me lie on the bed and get up and she said as long as ur not in pain and feel like u cud do an emergency stop its cool to drive. X

 

[baileybubs]

I never checked if it was ok with insurance company I just asked my doctor, but I only did it at 5 weeks pp, but I'm sure I could have been ok by 3 weeks to be honest.

Morning by the way everyone lol!!

Well looks like we have got this house woohoo! Now for the horrible ordeal of actually packing and moving! I'm feeling a little sad about leaving this house coz it was our first family home, but we need that extra bedroom so it's best to do it now rather than after I get pregnant again!

Sath boo for AF! That sucks Hun, how long was your lp this month?

Cheryl yay for your hair cut! I managed to keep it down and styled for a week after I had it cut but now it's back to being tied back all the time lol! Yay for Leo sitting, is he using his hands to prop himself up? Emilia does that now but then throws herself back lol! She's started squealing all of a sudden now too!

Mrs d I agree with cupcake try watching videos on YouTube I did an it really helped. But it is still really early for it anyway.

Cupcake how's Zach doing? What does he weigh now? How long is dh off work with you?

 

[MrsDuck]

Bailey yay for getting the house, when do you move in?

 

[cupcake1981]

Yey for the house bailey but boo for moving!!!! The extra room will be great and like you say better to move now the when preg!! What do your inlaws think about you moving?

I dunno what Zach weighs tbh, he's not being weighed again for 3 weeks. He feels heavier every day tho, and I worry I'm over feeding him as he has between 4 and 5 oz per feed, 6 times per day, but if I just give him 4 he doesn't seem satisfied at the end. I guess he has a breast milk feed per day so maybe that doesn't fill him so much.

Hubby is off til the 7th Oct, ages still!

Need some ideas, it's his birthday this Friday, and have for his present for that sorted, but for his first day back at work I wanted to make him a little bag of treats to help him through his first day as he's gonna be on a major downer after 4 1/2 weeks off! I've got him an acrylic block print of a picture of Zach for his desk, gonna get him some Percy pig sweets from m & s. Any other ideas?
