Aww Zephyr that is too cute..I have two blankets half finished better get a move on or they won't get done it time.

Ahh how cute is that Zephyr! I'm planning on making some things when I start Mat leave in 4 weeks (well I start my holiday then).

Sounds like everyone is getting organised with their travel systems and nurseries. Getting closer now!

I started making a list yesterday of what we have and what we need to get, nothing major so think I can do it all with a good price...having the wedding 2 weeks before baby is due definitely wipes out your bank!

Rburnett - Jenson is a lovely name, apart from the racing driver I have only heard of one other Jenson and its a cute name.

I'm still home in pain with my pelvis and tailbone, can't see myself getting back to work this week so will have to pop back to the doctors on Friday and possibly get to physio.

Baby must be growing as I am getting some full on jumps and thuds, love every minute of it though

I braved the ice out there today and took my dogs in for their booster injections and worming tablets. Glad that's done! They need to be wormed again when baby is due so I might just send OH in to get the next ones.

I need to sort out my mat allowance form sometime soon. I'm starting to get stretch marks on my thighs. So sad! :'( guess that's all part of it though.

 

[RBurnett]

I got stretch marks on my boobs so far. Im just waiting for the ones on my stomach although im creaming up everyday so hope thats helps. I ignored my boobs for a bit so that could be why they are there.

Anti - how are u enjoying your freedom from work. I go back next Tuesday after been signed of for 2 weeks and im dreading it. I suffer from anxitety and im soo anxious to go back. Its got very busy at work and i just dont have the brain for it, im too tired and in pain to focus. OH said if im not ready dont go back but i think the longer i leave it the worse it be so my plan is to get through the end of feb and March and get signed of from April up to my mat leave....hope it all works out!

I'm loving being at home and just relaxing!! It's amazing!

Been looking at travel systems and I was set in the hauck Malibu but after googling it I found some awful reviews of it saying that the chassis snaps after about 6 months. I really don't know which one to go for now. Sigh*

 

[kwood]

yazzy - I know so excited about getting all the baby stuff, think I only need one or two things but we aren't really doing the nursery until after the baby comes, then we can make it more boy or girl (baby will be in our room to start and my very artistic mum will be over to help with the nursery)

RBurrentt - I like your new photo, you look like a very lovely couple.

Anti - That's a pain when you find something you really like and then find all kinds of bad reviews. So annoying, hope you find something you like even more.

hey everyone hope all is well... am having a bit of an achy day today, can't really put my finger on it but feel like my lady parts have had a kicking. junior has been a bit quiet too so had a listen on the doppler to put my mind at rest.

i'm dying to get started on the nursery - but can't quite yet. our spare room currently has a bed in it which needs moving & I am hoping to put a sofa bed/futon in there so we still have somewhere for occasional visitors. but i we can't afford it just yet & i can't make up my mind on which sofa bed!

Zephyr- That is too cute. It's so cool that you taught yourself so recently and look at what you have done already.

Went to the doc today and declined the glucose test due to being sick, so they simply just pricked my finger instead

 

[bumpin2012]

Zephyr: I want that pattern!!!

Thanks! And thanks to everyone else as well. We went and signed the paperwork today. It should be ready to move in March 1st which is just 3 weeks away!!! I'm getting boxes from work tomorrow so I can start packing. We spent most of the day shopping for some last minute things. There's a bit more we need but have nowhere to put it until we move out (food, toilet paper, etc) so that's going to wait but furnishings, supplies and decor is pretty much all taken care of. I also got the call that I passed my 3 hour glucose test which is a big relief. I knew I would but there's always that chance you won't, you know?

And my sister just text me to tell me that my travel system she ordered (as a gift) for us arrived in the mail today!!! The only things I need to get still besides diapers/wipes is the Diaper Genie (which we don't NEED but I really want to have one), the swing and a play mat for tummy time. It's always real nice when things finally fall into place after thinking they never will, you know?

Tomorrow starts the 3rd trimester for me and I have an appointment with my doctor. Looking forward to seeing where I'm measuring (I feel MASSIVE compared to my last appointment, I was a week ahead but I feel like I'm 2 weeks ahead for some reason... I don't know, I'm probably right on track haha) and hearing the heartbeat again!

OMG, Zephyr, I did not intend for him to LIKE the shirt! LOL That comes from a pitcher from the San Francisco, California baseball team. He had an epic beard that (obviously) got serious media attention and became a marketing ploy! LOL

 

[zephyr]

bumpin - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbr01SXtKC4 thats where I got it from, I'll be interested in checking out some of her other videos Those Mary Jane booties look adorable too

vaurissa - haha yeah thanks Its okay though he actually bumped into a friend of his today and he has a massive beard too and now they are competing which is gutting cos somehow I dont think I will get a surprise now
Oh and the surprise for valentines day in case you were wondering.....urm its lip balm ahahahahaha
See he gets really chapped lips at work so he keeps stealing my lip balms and I have run out!! So I got heaps of little containers and have all the ingredients to make some manly lip balms that aren't pink or fruity tasting lol I thought he would like it but I'm having seconds thoughts now. Also never made it before so this shall be interesting.

Waves - Congrats on the apartment! I can't remember if I already said that or not (pregnancy fog sorry) and also yay for the passing of the glucose test!! Those results came in quick Good luck for your appoinment tomorrow.

I am so exhausted today! I have been run off my feet all day long doing sooooo many errands that needed to be done! I changed my sons day care hours so that it fits better cos the days he has daycare my daughters have dance classes and I cannot be at two places at once anyways my poor wee man, usually gets dropped off at 9am and goes straight to the trains but he gets dropped off at 12:30 now and he was taken straight to the sleep room!! I couldn't believe it, he looked at me like wth is going on mum?? you drop me off for a sleep??
They said to me last week if I changed to the afternoon session that he will miss out his nap and I was like thats okay anyways cos he shouldn't be having a nap! but apparently he comes right on nap time!!
So now I am in two minds about whether I should keep him there or not. He goes 15 hours a week over 3 days and becuse I am not working its more just so I can get stuff done during that time and also so he can have friends to play with.
Most days I send him I miss him and this whole nap thing just doesn't seem worth it and they wont let me change the hours any other way. Oh I dont know what to do......either way I feel guilty.

Oh yeah forgot to say I packed my hospital bag yesterday! Finally well.....the babies hospital bag anyways, I think I need another one though cos I couldn't fit everything in the bags not big enough :/

 

[zephyr]

OMG that was a really really long post!

 

[RBurnett]

Anti - Glad ur relaxing and enjoying the time.
