Thank you ladies! They said since hubby checked cervix and saw its still close then I should be fine but if it comes back go to labor and delivery floor so they can further evaluate. Hubby is great, he doesn't touch of course, but will look and let me know. I explained what it's supposed to look like lol I really wish I could make love to him dammit!! Lol

Kelly oomg omg! Your bump is gorgeous!!! And Bennett looks too cute... And snug.

Midwife appointment yesterday was great! She said my 19 week ultrasound was perfect and they said my due date was may 3rd so super exciting!!! We are going to get her infant carseat today!!!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

I'm already shopping too Amanda! LOL Can't find a carseat I love yet though. Not enough boy choices!

Thanks Mizz! Do they measure your cervix ever at a scan?? They did mine last week and it was very reassuring. I've already started the BH's but with dh this week of course everything is fine!

Thanks Cupcake!

Iluv, gorgeous baby and gorgeous bump!

Mizz, your hubby sounds wonderful, mine would freak out if I asked him to check my cervix! As for making love, he's scared to touch me unless it's to kiss my bump or shout "HELLO BABY" through my tummy! He's so nuts, good thing I love him!

21w 2d now, it's getting so exciting, but I still can't really believe this is going to happen. We haven't bought anything yet! I think we'll wait for the January sales and try to get some bargains.

I've got my anatomy scan on New years eve! Can't wait! I'll be on my own though sadly as OH is working. No matter, he can see the photos.

BIG to you all!

Felt him move on the outside tonight!!!! I so love it!

I actually think I've pretty much done te shopping. Oops. Keep seeing good deals. Got our travel system and car seat a couple of weeks back when it was reduced as I had vouchers.

We've gone a bit mad shopping today. Sooo many good deals on and we got money for Xmas and I won £100 on the premium bonds and we had £150 John Lewis vouchers left to spend so I just bought:

-Cot (down from £130 to £40 on kiddicare)
-Mattress
-Mattress protectors and sheets
-Bibs
-Medela Swing Breast Pump
-Spare bottles and parts for pump.
-Angelcare baby monitor
-Mummy Buggy Clip
Swaddle wrap thing
-2x totsbots nappies (in the sale would've been rude not to)

 

[Tournesol]

OMG Cupcake! You're so organised.
There's so much to think about, I'd better get cracking!

 

[MightyMom]

Well I haven't been as good about buying while everything is on sale, but I did find a deal on the Diona Radian RXT car seat. It's normally about $330 but it was on sale for $235 plus the site offered $20 off so it was only $215 with free shipping. I'm so excited, it's rated 5-80lbs so it's like the only car seat we'll ever need! At least I got one thing checked off the list.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

Tourney - it just sort of all fell together and was great offers.

I wasn't going to get the cot until march. But it's the perfect size and 70% off and we had the money. So I couldn't really say no.

Was the same with our pram and carseat. All on offers ending in December and I had vouchers that needed using.

We've got loads of sorting and decorating and stuff to do in the house.

On our spare room (which will be Bee's room) DH has a bookshelf filled to the brim with books.

I want the shelves for baby stuff. So he's got to sort that out ASAP. And he has to convert our huge storeroom into a cat room and put in a cat flap to the store room.

He needs to get cracking!!

MM - that's a great deal and a great carseat.

Ours only does up to 22lb and is the carrier type. So we'll need a new one once she's a year or so.

 

[Tournesol]

Oh gosh, our baby room is currently the attic! It needs converting, which involves putting in sky lights, plaster boarding, carpeting, painting and general renovation! Eek! And now it's winter, so we really can't start bashing holes in the roof until spring, which doesn't leave us a lot of time before baby comes.
I just don't think about it. Everything will be fine.

Anyway, I plan to have baby in with us for the first few months at least. I want to get one of those co-sleeper cots with the drop down sides. They latch on to the side of the main bed, so that it's like co sleeping, but much safer and everybody still has their own space.

 

[CupcakeBaby]

We're makin our own co-sleeper crib. Hopefully the one I ordered yesterday will work just fine.

We're going to build it with 3 sides and then attach it to the side of our bed.

All the proper cosleepers are sooo much money and I've seen a few blogs online where people have converted normal cots so I'm sure it'll work fine.

I too love the thought of co-sleeping but am a little nervous so the sidecar cot is the perfect solution.

Almost took a spill tonight coming out of Bob Evan's!! Darn snow and ice! Never a dull moment!

I have bought this week the pack n play and the snugabunny bouncer. Still need a new carseat and thinking about getting a snap n go stroller and just getting a regular stroller later. Also a swing and highchair. We got rid of pretty much everything from the other 2 kids so I need a ton!! I have picked up some blue stuff here and there in the past week.

 

[MightyMom]

Why is it that all of the glider rockers I've seen are the same boring fabrics (or a really hideous fabric)?? I've seen the same boring beige, cream, sage, and pink or I'll see something that makes me cringe like sunshine yellow, denim, or red gingham. All I want is something I can purchase that I can use for reading after I'm done nursing. Something comfortable, like a mommy armchair. Do they even make those??

I'm so jealous of you ladies who get to makeover a whole room or attic. I live for DIY projects!

 

[EMTAmanda]

Baby girls infant carrier!

 

[Tournesol]

Amanda, that is too cute!

MightyMom, you're very welcome to come and sort out the attic for me!

 

[ILuvBabies200]

Love the pink Amanda!!!!!
