shrimpy i think its great you got your stuff early!

i love baby shopping and would be doing more but i still have a lot. im already replacing maternity clothes since like you i thought i was done. thank God that's all i got rid of!

 

[Shrimpy]

I just can't ignore a bargain, not helped by my husband either though, "just get it!", he's meant to be the voice of reason!

AQ: I know what you mean, the clothes are gorgeous! That's one thing I won't be able to be prepared for. We don't want to find out the sex this time so it'll be a major shopping spree as soon as we get out of hospital. What better way to introduce a baby to the world than a major shopping trip LOL!


Zoesmum: Yay for booking your scan only 16 sleeps for you!!

Fitzy: Keeping everything crossed for you. I bet it is just your little beany getting all comfy in there

Hi girls - not bought anything new for bean yet - need to go through DS's stuff and see what can be re-used.

Need to buy DS a bed so bean can have the cot and I'm sure there are some other bits we will need but not a lot so no big spending spree for me. Though saying that I will need to buy maternity clothes - I get sooooo big at the end that my clothes from last time weren't worth keeping so streched and mis-shapen.

I was hoping to hear from the MW today but nothing will leave it to next week and try again.

I am so tired and so sore and I keep sneezing which makes my neck and shouldedr pull and even more sore.

Have a lovely evening all.

shrimpy thats brill your nearly done lol xxx I havent bought anything i recently (about 8 weeks ago) sold my mamas and papas murano nursery furniture set on ebay usually the case isnt it !!! i still have moses basket millie and boris from when i had finely and all the teddies to match the nursery and canvases, cot mobile etc i think we will pop to mamas and papas after the 12 week scan and buy the bedding and a few things that i threw as they werent worth keeping as millie and boris is in the sale then after that i will wait as we will be finiding out if all goes well FX ! so lots of blue or pink clothes

 

[Tanya86]

You are so patient waiting until the birth to find out the sex, I bow down to you and know I am far too impatient to do that!

AQ - so glad to read your news about your scan today, sending you lots of luck and hugs.

I was sitting here reading the replies about the discharge and all of a sudden got a massive wave of nausea, my first proper symptom of today so ive spent the last 10 mins sitting on the bathroom floor gagging but not being sick, I never thought I'd feel so happy to feel sick, I think its little claude (our nickname for the bean) telling me everything is OK

Ive only bought magazines and books so far, this morning I had my pregnancy and birth mag on the tube puffing my tummy out with the hope of someone giving me their seat but it didnt happen! The current P&b mag comes much recommended, there is a big section on birth for first time mums which is really interesting

 

[Shrimpy]

aww the millie and boris stuff is so cute This is the set I bought Thought it would be perfect for boy or girl. The bottom looks like its white with red spots but it's actually bright orange

 

[Shrimpy]

Tanys - YAY for feeling sick I haven't cracked out the pregnancy mags yet. Think I'll wait for my first scan. How ironic, I feel like I can buy baby items but not magazines ... I am a right weirdo


ETA: I am sooo not patient. We found out with both of our girls and since this is our last baby we would like to see what it's like to have a surprise. I've already tried to talk hubby into finding out but he's having none of it LOL I'm quite glad he's strong on that as I think it will be lovely to have a little surprise (God willing)

 

[MumtoJ]

Shrimpy they look fab.

I've bought a couple of mags so far, just to make it feel "real"

 

[readynwilling]

I also bought my crib bedding - its baby sesame street

Zoesmommy - YUMMMMM Cheesecake!

Congrats WiccanRachel & Cherylanne welcome!!

 

[natty1985]

awww thats lovely hun is that mamas and papas? sure ive seen that before is it hodge podge? x

 

[Shrimpy]

It's eastcoast. I found it whilst doing random searches for unisex bedding (obsessed much!) was far too expensive on the website I saw but then found it on Sainsburys website cheaper and then when I looked again it had 1/3 off every item. I took that as a sign that it was meant to be

Aww baby seasame street sounds lovely!

 

[natty1985]

ahh its lovely that is very unisex i really wanted to go new but i just couldnt justify it all again when we had so much already and the fact millie and boris is on sale now in mamas and papas 20% off which to be fair its been a good seller for them they have had it for 3 years !! x

 

[Shrimpy]

If I had kept things I wouldn't be buying new. I literally got rid of everything, blooming typical. I blame the husband, it was all his fault he changed his mind and said we could have 1 more. It's always the man's fault. Saying that I've spent £150, but for what I've got I dont think that's too bad at all

 

[natty1985]

no you have done so well i have only kept a few outfits of Finley's the ones that people bought him i gave so much to my SIL when she was expecting my nephew as there is 1yr 1wk diff so everything fits him a year later xx Silly me i still have a baby bath also lol and i kepy my preggo books so i saved 50 squids there xx

 

[Shrimpy]

aww, we did the same. My youngest was born in July and my niece was born at the end of November a year later. They live over in New Zealand so although it was a different time of year the seasons were switched so we posted everything accross for them. Apparently it's really hard to buy baby stuff over there. They don't have places like Asda or Tesco where you can buy cheap baby things. Everything seems to cost a fortune. I love the baby books, I get all excited reading them, I used to always read a week ahead lol shock I gave them away too

 

[natty1985]

haha i know how you feel about the week ahead your never reading whats actually going on with baby lol i think its your mind wishing you were one week ahead hahaxx oh thats really good you could also make use of your clothes when you keep them so nice you dont want them going in the bin do you fin was 6lb5 born and we had all stuff for newborn bless him he had next to no clothes until we came out of hospital and went to mothercare with my 82 stitches in toe tmi !!! i will ensure i take every possible size in with me this time xx

 

[Aunty E]

I won't buy anything unless this one turns out to be a boy I guess. I didn't buy anything for Mog until after the twelve week scan, but I did have a baby stash already. We won't need a bed for Mog until LO is ready to go into the cot, as we used a crib for the first five months or so with her. The only thing I'm considering buying is a double pushchair, but I'll wait and see how Imogen is walking by the end of the third tri. It might not be any use by then.

 

[africaqueen]

I am trying to imagine buying stuff and my baby actually wearing the clothes and i just cant! what is wrong with me? i am starting to think it was a bad sign today that they seen nothing on the scan at all. Not even a sac i was upbeat before and now im getting so scared. Surely if that bleed i had was a mc(what i thought was af) i would not of got a bfp 4 days later and then have my beta double, would i? what if they never find anything?? oh sorry ladies. Having a panic hr. xxx
