[Wiggler]

Only £8 and so adorable, I hope I can get this, I want bubs to wear it home from hospital with a pink/blue cardi!

 

[wild2011]

thats lush.

chloe got dressed in pink from head to toe, mainly hot pink cos she was olive skinned with seriously large ammounts of dark black hair. leila i didnt know what i was having and everything for the first few months was cream, sienna it was all creams and baby pinks.

im off pink and cream totally, so will now be white lemons mints if a girl or all blue for a boy lol. strictly no pink

 

[Wiggler]

If bubs is a girl I won't be overdoing the pink, but the clothes will be girly, I don't want anyone saying "Aww, what a gorgeous little BOY"

Although when Dylan was younger, I took him out in his blue pram wearing blue clothes and someone came up to me and said "What is it" That really offended me. I told them that he was a baby and walked off. Hehe, I'm very sensitive about the word "IT"

 

[wild2011]

lol i know exactly what u mean, i think thats my problem i totally overdid pink last time, id get old dears asking if it was a boy in a pink pram and everything pink and flower headbands, arghhhhhhhhh lol

 

[Wiggler]

I talked to OH about the total redo of the flat and he says its a good idea, we are going to pain/decorate all the rooms first, the recarpet, then buy all new furniture/furnishings, apart from the kids rooms will will be totally done first. I'm going to start properly picking stuff out for all the rooms soon.

Am I crazy for wanting cream carpet throughout the flat though? x

 

[lisaf]

Wiggler - with kids, you probably are a little nuts, lol!! I lived with white-ish carpet and... well it never stays totally white. Most people do have light colored carpeting though. Just cover high traffic areas with throw rugs.
My mom had dark brown and you can't see any stains on it even now, lol!! Just depends on the colors you will like and can bear to live with.

My mom once had me dressed in a blue dress... but frills, bows, lace, headband with a flower, mary janes with white socks etc... and got told what a lovely boy she had
She loved dressing me in blue because of my blue eyes but I don't think she bothered much after that.

 

[Wiggler]

Yea I'm planning on getting nice rugs for all the rooms, I love rugs. Also going to invest in a good carpet cleaner and give the carpets a good clean once a month.

 

[lisaf]

If you have the chance... also don't allow food in carpeted areas... that is the #1 way to save your carpet, lol!

 

[Wiggler]

Don't have a chance of that, my flat is teeny, we eat at our table in the lounge, I will be buying splash mats though, Really don't want food on the carpets when I get them.

Just been looking at some of the room decorations I have picks for the kids room, they are sooo nice. I really can't wait to find out the gender so I can start buying stuff to redecorate that room!

 

[wild2011]

i have lightest cream throughout my house even the kids bedrooms, they are now 11 months old and immaculate, no shoes end of, that includes guests the respect the rule cos my carpet still looks brand spanking new, the kids eat at the dining table and we have bamboo flooring at one end of the room. might i add, once you washa carpet once u have to do it regularly and it gets wrecked ten times quicker ive not washed mine yet and wont be till atleast the summer, have a bottle of stain devils and any marks scrub with a little stain devils and hot water, you wont get ne stains that way. i still have nt a single mark on mine

 

[Wiggler]

Rightio I'm off for the night. OH wants to play Facebook games.

OMG I thought I was going to black out today, it was so freaky. I had to put Connor in his room in case something was to happen. I nibbled on a cookie and tried to lay down on cold sheets. Felt better after about 30 minutes, it was really scary. Uh, pregnancy can be scary sometimes.

 

[wild2011]

night night wiggler. x

lucky- hope u feel better now, it really sucks some times xx

 

[hopefulmama]

lucky- thats what happened to me yesterday! it was soo scary

 

[Soph22]

hi ladies-
so excited to hear some of you already have bumps showing! mine has disappeared after the bloat from the progesterone subsided. Can't wait to look pregnant instead of just a little chubby.

anyone else suffering from headaches? My m/s has recently subsided but as soon as it did I started getting headaches! everyday for over a week now. I'm prone to headaches anyway, but now I can't take any of the drugs I used to. Tylenol is just not really cutting it. I'm trying to drink more water and eat more often, but still. I keep seeing "paracetemol" (not sure on spelling) on posts here; I'm not sure what that is. Is that just the UK version of acetaminophen or is it something better I can ask for?

My favorite color when I was little was blue (light blue). My carpet was blue, my walls were blue - every accent in my room was blue (and white). I loved it! I just recently saw a living room decked out for the holidays with silver blue walls, white trim and beige/tan accents and thought - I am totally doing that up for the nursery!!! My mom objects b/c it will feel too cold. Although it is funny she didn't object over the gender issue!

Lucky - I have had a few light headed moments too and my MW said it may be due to low iron. You might want to have some molasses on your oatmeal in the morning. Or at least that is what I do and now, no problems.
