Heres her website address hon

and heres my pregnancy prediction

Your reading reveals that your current pregnancy is with a baby girl. Her EDD is referenced in the reading around the 15th of April 2011 - however come October there seems to be discussion around a c-section for delivery. Reasons for this are unclear in the reading unless you had a c-section with your previous baby and your doctor is pushing for it again this time around. Things will be more clear on this issue the end of January 2011. It also looks like you switch doctor's care during this pregnancy to a woman - maybe even a midwife - but then it looks like your get switched to another OBGYN (also female) because of issues with the pregnancy. It may be pregnancy induced diabetes or preclampsia. A c-section is shown for a delivery - and they joke about it being set for the 1st but you are determined "no child of mine is going to be born on April Fool's Day - so the date is set for the 2nd instead.
She is born around 5pm weighing in at 8lbs 10ozs.

yeh something like this we have in mind or similar (would quite like one in red too!).
The prices range so much as well, im not sure whats considered good and whats not for the price.
am i right in thinking travel systems are a pram, a buggy and a carrycot/carseat?, or do you buy a carseat seperate?.

I so don't believe in any of this reading stuff but I might have a go later and post it in my journal, just for fun!

Madcat - travel systems are prams where the car seat will attach. Some will come as a complete set with the car seat but some are just compatible and you have to buy the seat separately. The cost varies but £250 is the cheapest you'll get a complete system. Ours is a Britax one (and old model now) which we got for about £300 but we also bought an isofix base for the seat. It was all on offer as it was just before a new model came out. People on here talk about icandy and bugaboo and the likes. When researching into tandom prams I looked up icandy and was utterly astonished at the amazingly extortionate cost! Like up to a grand! I think a lot of people will pay more for a status symbol, just like with a car! It's fun to have a mix of fabrics and things like that but they only vomit/wee/poo on them anyway! you can always buy fun cosytoes for some individuality. We had a tight budget so went for the system because overall it was cheaper. We later bought a buggy for light weather and street use, it was about £80 and is also from birth so can be used with the next one.

Both of ours are Britax which is not common as they've not been doing prams long. The first one has been used for daily walks with the dog in all weathers and on rough terrain and still works just perfectly. If we do get a tandem I'll probably get the Britax one, though it's quite expensive, as I know they make really good sturdy prams.

By the way, Mothercare are fairly consistently the most expensive place to buy prams (and most things!) so unless you choose a Mothercare own model definitely shop around. Kiddicare do stuff cheap and Boots quite often have good offers on, especially on odler models (where we got ours from). Toys r us are quite good for offers too.

wow, its a whole new world for me!!!!!!

um, ok, might give mothercare a wide birth then! (hahahahha!)

is this isofix base something you need to buy seperately for the carseat to be fixed to then?.

gona have to do alot of research!!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I agree PeanutBean most buggies are extortionatly priced and generally so b/c of the bling bling name like icandy etc! I had a graco travelsystem as my 1st buggy with DS which I absolutely adored that was until it collapsed with DS in it and nearly crushed him b/c the folding mechanism thingy gave way It was replaced by graco with their new mosiac model which turned out to be my best buggy ever. I have had a fair few different street buggies all different makes for DS and b/c I dont drive they got quite an hammering and didnt last long. Nothing compared to my Graco mosiac though and I would be inclined to get another one however for the same price more or less I can purchase my obaby zezu which has so many more features to it and excellent reviews that said I will not be spending more than £250 on a complete travelsystem package because trust me the more expensive buggies are no more built to last than the more reasonably priced ones! My sister has a silvercross travelsystem for her DD who is 6months old...Her buggy set her back about £400 from mothercare and that was on offer sadly her buggy has been in repair 3 times already and she doesnt use this buggy solely either as she has two streetbuggys! The bar that supports the car seat keeps snapping and her brake bar doesnt work....I have been with her on the bus many a time and we have had to throw ourselves at the pram when turning a corner b/c the brake bar simply unclicks itself silvercross use to be the best buggy maker around my mum will tell you but alas no more buggies are whacked together these days at such a rate they are not built to last like they use to be!

My Zezu will be our main buggy but we will also purchase a streetbuggy too!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

No madcat some isofix bases come with the package but most car seats are now made just to simply strap in using the seat belt in the rear of your car!

Mothercare is expensive and I agree with Peanutbean Kiddicare.com and Babies r us based at toys r us stores (also on line but dont have full extensive range!) are the best places to shop....I think I will be getting mine from kiddicare.com

 

[madcatwoman]

oh ok, thats cleared that up then. we would probably look in toys are us first to see what theyre like, and what we like,(nice excuse for me to get a trip into chester!), either buy one from there or from kiddicare. I think£250 would be our very top max budget!. We think DH's mum will help out quite a bit at christmas so we would probably ask for vouchers or for the things we need i think, we lucky as she does tend to spoil us, plus this is her 1st grandchild (that she doesnt yet know about, and probably wont believe us anyway- as ive told her im not having kids! ha ha)

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

sounds like a plan hon!

`what would you like us to buy for baby?`

You could make a baby wish list with things on it you would like/need including details where from, price etc kinda like a wedding gift list with gifts of different price ranges on it to suit all budgets We might do this on say a word document on the laptop b/c we will get asked this question loads (we did with DS!) Sometimes people duplicate gifts and you will recieve say 10 photo albums I intend to stick the practical def need stuff on my list and that way if people do ask I can point them in the right direction no money wasted!

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Grandparents generally contribute to the practical stuff like pushchair or nursery furniture so I reckon its ok to put steriliser, bottles, box of nappies etc on your gift wish list!

brilliant idea. like a wedding list and as you say people can pick out what they can afford from that!.
I think we'll be compiling one of those y'know!!!!

what i could do with is help for you girls who already have kids, i know roughly what we would need, but im far from knowing it all!!, maybe start a list on here for people like me!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Hm, things we used:
Pram
Muslims aplenty
Soft bibs aplenty
Sleepsuits/vests/socks
Baby bath and towels
Nappies
Bottles? (I BF but expressed)
Steriliser
Blankets
Thermometer (bath and digi)
Sudacrem
Rocker chair (only thing he'd sleep in that wasn't our arms)
Baby carrier

Things we didn't use:
Moses basket (he wouldn't sleep in it)
Changing table (didn't get one, didn't need one)

Just what I can think of right now and just for the beginning, you need more and more as they get older. Probably forgotten loads though, it doesn't seem a very big list!

thats great, one or two things on there i hadnt thought about.
interesting what you said about the moses basket, did your LO go straight into a cot then? it seems like everyone has moses baskets.
and you didnt need a changing table- i thought that was a must??

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

I got a changing table madcat and never used it except to pile things on kinda like a junk table

I cant think of anything else Ladies from your list PeanutBean except:

Changing Mat
Baby Monitor (personal choice so if you are in another room you can hear baby although you could be in a coma and still hear him or her cry )
Lots of cotton wool for changing bum in early days and then babywipes when a little older!

AND TWO OF MY MUST DEF BUYS

BABY SLEEPING BAG.....stops you worrying they will get cold b/c they tend to kick off blankets when a few months old
BATH BATH SEAT..... great for 1st time parents madcat fits into babybath and normal bath and b/c you can sit baby in it and wash hands free its great! It can be really scary esp for dad to bath baby who no matter how big at birth seems so tiny to hold in the water! I will post pic of the best one to get if you like!
