Hmmm that's a tough one, it's got to be nice foodie things that he will like. What about a nice 'daddy' mug for when he has a coffee?

 

[cupcake1981]

I like the daddy mug idea! Yeah I'll get him some foodie treats and stuff to.

How is your first day back going?

Did you get any further with your pram shopping?

 

[MrsDuck]

It's dead at work so left at 2pm and went supermarket shopping.

I've just blitzed up some peas, mint, balsamic vinegar, breadcrumbs and olive oil to top some lamb steaks for tea. If I buy it with the topping already on its twice the price!

I'm a bit superstitious about prams so I won't get that until baby is practically here but I want to decide now so that we can order a car seat that may or may not click into the pram, if that makes sense. I think me and hubby will have a Christmas or new year trip over to Southampton to buy the majority of our baby stuff

2 weeks until my next scan I can't wait although I am nervous, even though I still have strong symptoms

Yikes I went into my ginormous under the stairs cupboard and now my lounge looks like a bombs hit it lol! I've gone a bit mental on clearing out and packing already!

Mrs d I can't really help with prams coz I just got mine from a catalogue seconds store, sometimes it's best just to go and have a look at them and a play about. I liked mine coz it's fairly compact and easy to fold down. Plus I was on a budget (as always lol).

Well we move end of October! As long as our application passes the credit checks (which I hope lol, they should but I've not got the best credit history so I always worry!).

 

[baileybubs]

Cupcake I think the daddy mug is a good idea, and really cute lol

 

[cupcake1981]

We didn't order our pram til after my anomaly scan at 20 weeks but only then cos of the lead time (still don't have our seat liner lol!!) there's no hurry for you anyway, most come really quickly.

Your dinner sounds good altho I don't like lamb. I did some baking this afternoon first time in ages! I made choc chip peanut butter cookies, yummy!

Bailey we've been sorting out today, kitchen got a blitz and we gave loads more room in there now.

Zach was a bit of a monkey overnight so really tired today, not been out the house!

 

[MrsDuck]

Sounds like we are all having a bit of a clearout

October will be here before you know it, I hope all is good with your credit

I stupidly over cooked my lamb bugger, your cookies sound good.

Did you ladies struggle to eat while pregnant? I'm finding after a couple of mouthfuls I just don't fancy any more and if I force more down I feel really ill

 

[cupcake1981]

Totally struggled to eat in first tri, and then around 30-34 weeks I lost my appetite cos baby was high up and all the heartburn. Made up for it last few weeks tho!

Funny to think I could still have been pregnant now, albeit I'd be getting induced tomo!

Hey ladies

Aw cupcake the daddy mug wud be good.x

Aw mrs d not long Hun. I ordered my pram after my 20 wk scan. X

Bailey so good ur moving I'm sure u will get it no bother x

Well today has been very stressfull Leo was up most of the night so had been cranky and teething in the morning then he slept we went to his class and 15 mins in he was screaming he wasn't due a feed and he had just slept an hr and a half so it wasn't tht it seemed like a pure temper tantrum I was so embaresd everyone was laughing and I just wanted to leave I got home after it and burst into tears when hubby asked wot was wrong.. I think he is starting to scream when he's bored or wants lifted and its so frustrating when ur at a baby class and everyone else's babies are so good

 

[baileybubs]

Aw Cheryl, don't feel embarrassed! Although that's one reason I don't take Emilia to classes, she seems to get bored of things really easily and likes to change activity every 15 mins (hence why I never get anything done when she's awake lol). Were other mums laughing because he was screaming?? That's awful!! Really not helping you is it? They sound quite nasty! Another reason I won't go to baby classes, judgemental mothers lol!!

Emilia is constantly having little temper tantrums, she can be quite demanding but it just means she's got some of my qualities lol!! I'm not exactly low maintainance haha! But it can be so stressful sometimes when she does it, I was trying to sort out a paypal refund the other day and I couldn't get it working and my bank wasn't recognising it so I phoned paypal. Well it was an automated thing, and Emilia was grumbling and whinging at me and this automated thing kept asking me what I was called for and I ended up shouting down the phone that I just wanted to speak to a human being!! All because Emilia had been cranky all morning lol, I even started crying coz all I wanted to do was refund £3 and I couldn't and it was hard enough phoning someone when Emilia was cranky without it being a stupid automated service lol!!

Weird to think Zach could still have been in your belly cupcake lol!! And I wouldn't worry about feeding him too much, I don't think you can really overfeed babies too much when they are so young. And if he's hungry then you should be fine.

Mrs d sorry your lamb was overcooked. I did lose my appetite for most of the pregnancy, especially at the end. I think first tri I ate most (still not a lot) but once baby got big enough for a prominent bump I think my stomach was in my chest lol! I didn't have sickness in first tri tho so I wasn't put off eating as such, just didn't want to eat.

 

[CherylC3]

Yeah see some of the mums are nice but I really think it was partly to do with his teeth.. He will be moving up to the next class in a cpl of wks and thts at 11 instead of 1 so il see how he is at tht but if he's not any betteri think il just stop going.

It's awful how u can just burst into tears so Easily I don't think I really cried before I had him. X

 

[MrsDuck]

How is everyone today?

 

[baileybubs]

Hey mrs d, I'm ok how are you?

Emilia had a proper screaming session earlier, pretty sure she's teething!

 

[MrsDuck]

Aw poor thing, toothache isnt nice so for babies cutting new teeth it must be so painful

I'm good thanks I'm just waiting for my dad to pick me up for lunch, I'm starving but also feeling really sick, not a good combination

After a warm sunny day here yesterday we've got think fog today, my hair has gone all fluffy haha

 

[cupcake1981]

Ah poor Emilia, what are you giving her, I've heard teething powders are supposed to be good.

It's really muggy here today mrs d, horrid.

 

[SATH]

Sat at QE waiting for appointment. So nervous already cried lots and now its all gonna start again. Wish me luck. Catch up later x

 

[cupcake1981]

Good luck Sath, remember this is the first step towards your baby! This is positive!!

 

[baileybubs]

Does anyone know where I can get teething powders? I've tried two different supermarkets and a chemist today and none of them do them!! The dentinox is just not doing anything and I think I'm going to have some sort of breakdown if she doesn't stop screaming lol!

I just had a terrible half an hour, I took her to the supermarket and she was fine. As soon as we got back home again back to screaming and screeching. Then I was trying to move our dining table and stupidly didn't take anything off it first, managed to crack one of the legs coz it wouldn't slide on the carpet and sent my case of flowers spilling all over the floor. So I swore very loudly for 5 mins and cried a lot and now I feel like a bad mum

 

[baileybubs]

Sorry that was a selfish post wasn't it?

How was your lunch mrs d?

Let us know how the appointment goes Sath!! Fingers crossed for you it all goes well!

Cupcake are you still managing to express ok Hun? How's Zach today?

 

[MrsDuck]

Sath I didn't realise that was today, I hope all goes well and like cupcake says this is a step towards your rainbow xx

Aw bailey did you ask where else you can try in the places that didn't have any? Aw you poor thing and your poor table, can it be fixed?

My lunch was yummy thanks I had a steak and fried onion roll at a garden centre mmm

Hi cupcake are you driving now?
