Lucky thread

Thinking about it cupcake, I find it easier having a Moses basket rather than a crib because she can fall asleep in it down here with me and then we just carry it upstairs when we go to bed. If you had a crib you'd have to lift him out of the carry cot or Moses basket to put him to bed if you were to keep him downstairs with you. Some people put their babies upstairs anyway and have monitors on but we haven't managed to do that yet because she has tended to have her fussy/grumpy time between 8 and 11pm but that's easing off now and I'm just trying to get her into a routine before I start putting her upstairs on her own.

Does that make sense?
 
Yeah totally. Just don't know about when he grows out of it as I don't want him in his room too soon, ESP as I'm hoping to bf. I'm over thinking it I think!
 
Maybe ill go for the Moses and if I'm not ready to put him in his room when he grows out I can get the small crib, it's only like £55 with a mattress so not the end if the world, and actually some Moses baskets when not on offer work out £100 with a stand etc so won't lose anything! x

V day today! x
 
Happy v day :) cupcake we carried our Moses basket up and down stairs to begin with but the prams a god send cos it's the only thing tht settles him at his night nap. Xx

Hey mrs d u off today?x
 
Yay cupcake for vday! You should order the Moses basket to celebrate! Good plan getting it and then the other if you need it, and good logic with it being on offer its not really anymore expensive even if you end up with both!

With Emily we use a Bassinet on a stand (same exact idea as the Moses basket) in our room. Our bedroom is on the same level as our living room so she's been sleeping, naps and all, in our room during the day. I initially thought I'd bring the bassinet, or the entire thing (it is on wheels) out here during the day but I haven't. Every once in awhile she also naps in her crib upstairs to get her used to it, then we use a monitor.

Hi all! Hope everyone is well!

Sorry I've been so quiet, it's a combination of just being busy and spending time with an either fussy or playful Emily. She gets her 4 month check up today,and her next set of vaccines she was miserable for a couple days last time I am hoping, but not expecting, her to not feel so miserable this time. I have a few concerns about her and am glad I will get to,bring those up.
 
Hey Amy! Great minds think alike, I bought the Moses! Yey! Decided that and the crib together would be like £90 so I'm not really losing anything if I need both as a non offer Moses with a stand etc is easily like £100 - the stands alone are £36 on mamas and papas, so I'm sure we could sell it afterwards if need be!

Hope Emily's jabs go ok and they don't hurt her too much xx
 
Cupcake, you sound like me there, justifying your decision to make a purchase! I do that a lot, even when DH and I have decided a deal is a good deal, I still have to remind myself it was! I think you will definitely get use out of the Moses basket. It was a great deal!

Thanks for the luck for little miss, last time they made her feel poorly for two days or so, not to mention how hard se cried when she got them!
 
Aw poor Emily bless her. I hope they don't make her feel bad again.

Cupcake happy v day and yay for the Moses basket!

Hope everyone is well today!
 
I hope little miss Emily is ok after her jabs and all goes well at her check up x

Yay for making a decision on the Moses basket x

Hi bailey and Cheryl :hi:

Ooooh yay for being off til weds mrs d!!

Can't believe they haven't replied yet!!!
 
Yay for days off MrsD! Boooo for no response to the letter.

Bailey and Cheryl, hope all is going well.

Cupcake, do you get a long weekend? How is your back? Energy? Is the nausea totally gone for you now?

Emily's appointment went well, dr is pleased with her growth and development. She cried for her shots and is very sensitive/upset now... She just fell asleep on me and I am letting her stay here for extra mommy snuggles/ comfort.
 
Aw hope Emily is ok and doesn't feel too poorly later.

Yes we have a long weekend here, but I'm off all next week to! Yippee! My back is still sore a lot but not as bad as it was thanks to the granny chair support mum got me! Energy, erm still waiting for the burst of 2nd tri energy everyone promised me haha! But I'm mostly ok. Weirdly had some nausea last week but fine again now!

Do you have to work tomorrow hun?

What's everyone doing this weekend? X
 
Aw enjoy them cuddles while you can Amy, I know people keep telling me about how quickly they grow up and don't want to cuddle you anymore lol!

Yay for a full week off cupcake!
I've got nothing planned for tomorrow and Sunday and I've got a spa treatment from my mum as a birthday pressie Monday morning, some sort of surprise Monday afternoon/evening from df and then a massage booked Tuesday morning from df!!

What's everyone else up to?
 
Oh Bailey, sounds good... Spa treatment, massage, and surprise... Enjoy them!

I have off tomorrow as it is a holiday weekend, DH as off Monday... No plans but we may try to go do something out of the house depending how Emily is feeling and what the weather is like

Cupcake, glad your back has been better and that the nausea didn't return and stay!

Hi MrsD and Cheryl, I see you lurking around! ;)
 
Thanks Amy. I'm sure I'm gonna love them!
Does Emily like baths? Emilia really hates baths and I hate giving her one, she sounds so distressed!! I've tried different temperatures in case I was doing it too cold for her coz I've read that the recommended temps can be too cool for some babies, but she still screams no matter what and she writhes about!
 
Hi Amy :hi:

That will be nice bailey, you deserve a nice pamper, in fact all you new mummies do :)

Have you any idea what df has organised for you bailey?

I'm working on the boat tomorrow with hubby, giving it its final cut and polish, then we are out for dinner, I want to finish my gardening at some point over the weekend if this wind buggers off and then off to France Tuesday :)
 
Mrs d are you coming over for the busy show this year? M

I dunno about you bailey but I'm desperate to know what ur df has planned!
