cheree where do you live?

lisa- aren't amex rewards points great??!!!

hopeful - the points are especially awesome since my company makes the charges on my card and pays for them, so it doesn't even cost me more than the membership fee!! Only my boss has started using his card for all the big purchases because he gets an extra 10 days to pay it I think its just his sneaky way of stealing all my points!

cheree - the Alice thing can work for a boy, but you'd need fewer Alice pieces and more animal/sidekick pieces. Things like the white rabbit etc.
I think most of the Alice stuff I've seen is very white/neutral looking anyway. I want brighter stronger colors in my nursery though, possibly just an animal theme (there's a pond animal bedding set I like, a turtle one, and a polka dot one that are really great).

I'm quite bummed that I got all these great Babies R Us coupons, but I couldn't possibly use them until after my baby showers. I got a 20% off one item but it was for in-store only, excluded all the major brand names and categories of things that it would be good to save that much on... best you could do is maybe use it on a bedding set.

The traffic here is awesome! Plus, the weather is even better than SF. So its a win-win... just can't afford to live here Need to buy those dang lottery tickets!

Hopeful, I have a bag of the kitkat/reeses cups in my fridge minus the kitkats

Cheree, my ob said she could do the gender at 16 weeks, it was her idea to find out then before the progesterone injections. My last 2 I found out at 12 weeks after CVS. May end up having that this week I guess depending on nuchal scan and bllod test. My downs risk last time was 1:4

Here in San Diego is pretty expensive too, we rent for $2000 a month, not buying until we know where we want to settle Hubby is talking about Boston, apparently he has an interview there

Mummy - Glad your little princess is feeling a bit better and you still got to have a scan and see your lovely bubs wriggle around

Wild - I know how you feel hun, I miss cooking so much

Meow - Lovely piccy hun, bubs looks nice and snug and comfy

Hopeful - I dont have a very high sex drive anyway, and at this moment in time I'm happy if I never do the deed again, unless I want to make more babies in the future (I do feel sorry for poor OH) It is damn amazing when I do it though, gotta love these hormones

I am so jealous about all the nursery talk on here! Bubs and Dylan will be sharing a room, but it will be redecorated to make sure it is nice for my wonderful little man and the new bubs. Baby blue is bubs is a boy and yellow if bubs is a girl

Dylan mouth is looking loads better today, the swelling has gone down and the teeny cut is healing really well, such a brave little man! He is 2 in 5 days! My little halloween baby is all grown up! Its gone so fast, i'm scared to blink in case he turns 18!

Morning wiggler, glad Dylans mouth is on the mend hun , my sex drive is pritty crap lately, i cant even stand dh near me most of the time, poor thing lol.xx

 

[Wiggler]

Our poor OH's! If I'm in a good mood later I might give my OH a nice surprise.. We haven't done it since i got my BFP! I feel sorry for him, nearly the whole time we have been together I have been a hormonal mess. I got preggers really soon after we got together, then the implant when Dylan was 6 weeks old, then straight after the implant came out I am preggers again.

 

[wild2011]

aww bless, i caught on wedding day on 1st, caught with 2nd wen chloe was 10 months old, ( didnt use ne contriception) , and took 2 yrs to cstch with 3rd, this time 18 months, and i caught on my anniversary hahah x

 

[Wiggler]

aww thats lovely! I was hoping I would magically ov as soon as the implant was taken out so i could get my BFP on OH's birthday, but didnt ov for nearly a month so he got a wonderful late pressie!

Do you have any lovely plans for Xmas this year? We are having a very small, low key Xmas as this year EVERYTHING decided to break and replacing stuff has cost a fortune, and we need money for the Jan sales for baby stuff.

 

[24/7]

Just the two of us at home for lunch, then a quick visit to the parents in the afternoon, then Jan sales for baby shopping too!! xxx

 

[wild2011]

we are having a quiet one too, weve moved 3 times in 24 months and finally settled , we got rid of all decs' and tree's so im getting a small cheapy one for this yr, and were not going wild with the kids they'll have what i can afford without going wild. thank god for the likes of homebargains and bm bargains and boots 3for2 lol. we'll be having my mum over as dh family are abroad, and kids and dh are saying they dont want crimbo dinner ever and opting for some nice steak, ill see how my hyperemesis is running up to christmas, if i feel up to doing the big dinner i will, nobody else lifts a finger, and ive spent several pregnancies cooking washing up and cursing my mother lmao.

bring on the january sales! i cant wait. have you got nething nice planned?x

 

[wild2011]

24/7 i like the sound of that hun.. i wonder if i'll ever have a crimbo day with just the 2 of us ever again lol

 

[Wiggler]

I am so excited about the Jan sales its unreal! If the pram I want isn't reduced I think I will cry

Look how pretty it is! I've already had to sacrifice the matching carseat because it is £115 and will barely be used, but I will have the pram

 

[wild2011]

oh i like tehat hun, i know which pram i want, but they have about 50 colour choices, so im waiting till gender scan to finalise, then will get it we can pay weekly so its ideal for me, im hoping sienna will be fine walking she'll be 2 and 2 months when babies here, she'll walk now but uses pushchair half way, i'll do what i did with leila and once ive got bumpage put her on wristlink and walk her, so i dont have to struggle pushing x

 

[Wiggler]

Thats a really good idea! Dylan is going through a phase of not wanting to be in his pushchair, and not wanting to walk, but be carried everywhere. So we are really putting in more walking time at the moment, We found a great buggy board though for if he is still a bit of an awkward walker though.

 

[wild2011]

yes ill be going with a buggy board too, sienna wont deal very well with all the school runs on foot, and i wont be carrying and pushing, may get a baby sling to have baby in and she can go in her pushchair if really tired. x

 

[24/7]

Having a day at home today, to see if a rest helps the feeling rough.
I just can't help but worry about work getting annoyed though, even though I know pregnancy related sickness doesn't count, I worry they might hold it against me when I request part time afterwards. xx

 

[wild2011]

try not to worry, they'd see themselves in a ot of trouble if they did. xxx

 

[Wiggler]

OMG! I'm such a doofus! a baby sling never crossed my mind! that would make things so much easier if Dylan got tired when we are out!

24/7 they wont hold it against you hun! you enjoy your rest, and don't worry about work ((hugs)) x

 

[MikieC]

Can I ask if you all have bought something for your Little Pips yet? I wasn't going to buy anything until after my scan and I was sure everything was going well. I thought I was being brave by going to get my bounty pack at the weekend!!!
