I love after Christmas sales in the USA!!!!! Lots of new baby clothes and a baby record book plus two books for me (non-baby). $15 jeans (that's like £8 for you UK ppls ) And a new ring for me Yay! Only 3 more days left though

 

[PeanutBean]

Enjoy the rest of your holiday Ozzie!

I hope you got rid of them Gilz. Stupid men. My dog is funny too when it's a late night for her. Back in the day when we could manage watching a film at night til late she'd get up 5 minutes before the end and stand in front of the tv. She has an excellent talent for knowing when films are due to end even if we don't. But she won't go up without us, she'l stand indefinitely giving us pointed looks.

Well morning all. Today we may or may not be seeing my MIL (again). I wish she'd just posted Byron's presents as I doubt she'll ever visit now. I'm going to try and finish my volunteering course module today if I can as I think I've missed a load of deadlines being ill then it being Christmas and it's preying on my mind. DH wants us to go out for the day if his mum doesn't come but I can't see it happening. I doubt anywhere much would be open and I can't cope with the cold at the moment.

 

[gilz82]

Hope you get your coursework done Peanut and have a nice day even if your MIL does appear.

My OH has been up all night being sick, basically because he shouldn't drink, so our day is now wasted. The boiler in my flat that I rent out has packed in so I'll need to find a plumber to look at that and I can't get a hold of Admiral so that I can insure my new car. I can understand them being closed today, but they weren't open at all on Christmas eve either and their stupid phone message doesn't say anything about them being closed for the holidays.

Think today till be a stinky day

 

[PeanutBean]

Oh dear gilz that doesn't sound like much fun. Since writing my update I came over with the worst nausea and had to flee, retching, to the bathroom thinking I was done for. I really do think that was my bloom. I also have a headache which at this time if day is likely to turn into a migraine so my day is probably shot too. I hope other grads are doing better!

 

[molly85]

get online hun to insure it, save your self the hassleof smelling everything 4 times.

Eugh dad was going to look round the sales with and cocked up his timimnbg thought I said after 4pm (what?)Sonow i have to go over to work alone and have no wish to do the sales alone I need propping up

 

[molly85]

it didn't post before my shower, tesco hair removal cream is evil, I now have sore bits which are still hairy it was for sencitive skin!

 

[gilz82]

We've got a multicar policy thing Molly so can't make changes online, but thankfully I just got them on the phone. They must just be working odd hours cos of the holidays.

Not so good that your dad got the times wrong for shopping. Don't go hon if you don't feel up to it, you'll only feel worse for it later.

Peanut hon hope you don't end up with a migraine.

 

[molly85]

i'm considering going back to bed. its a lack of energy. I'm rubbish at bargains so will prob end up paying full price lol. I don't have the energy to go to work alone, I know what some of the nurses are like they will want me to "help" them with something or ask why I am off I have generally been using the SPD bt my boss and deputy know I am sogned off with pregnancy related anxiety and depression. The SPD is just and extra factor.
We need milk now and matt wanted a fried breakfast and can I be assed can I hell. I can always go get the bits when he wakes up.

Sorry Peanut hope its not a migraine. Hugs

 

[gilz82]

Aw Molly hon nevermind with your work you don't need to be thinking about just now. Just get snuggled up on the couch or in bed and get milk later

Afternoon!

sorry to hear your boiler is packed in gilz, what a pain in the @rse

Ive just got back from chester(toys r us), the mind is willing but the body is weak, i feel tired again now.
We looked at cots and made a note of one of them, bought some cot bedding, really georgeous patchwork set.... and a border for the nursery.

Good grief. DH&I :had sex:, 2nd time since the BFP. it wasnt good, its like being a virgin again!, far too tight downthere and for the rest of the day my round ligaments have been aching horribly. We were gentle but i told DH he's nearly crippled me and that until further notice we're facing a draught!!.

this is the bedding set we have bought

and this is the border

on another note, we were looking at changing bags today, can someone advise me as to what bag is best?, any examples?

 

[gilz82]

Oh Madcat lovey border and bedding On changing bags I really have no idea, I'm going to have a look when we go to buy our pram but to be honest it'll probably be the cheapest practical bag as I'm really not a bag person.

On the thing we didn't have any til 11wks cos of the bleeding but we've just gone back to normal now. Nothing feels different for me really other than my OH slightly squishing my bump sometimes

 

[madcatwoman]

oh lucky you!the fist time we was about 16wks, which wasnt great, but ive really felt the effects this time!!, maybe we just havent done it often enough but i always had this worry it would cause bleeding so we didnt!.
im never going to be able to push a out of there!!!.


we looked at bags today in mothercare&babies r us, quite dear!

 

[gilz82]

Yeah after watching all the one born every minutes I had sky plus'd last night i'm seriously not looking forward to the pushing jellybean out part!!

 

[PeanutBean]

Which is funny because I'm looking forward to experience the pushing as I had that taken away from me last time.

Lovely bedding madcat!

On the changing bag front assuming you want something that'll go the distance you wan something big enough not just for nappies and bottles but also spare clothes and food. The pacapod bags are quite lovely but massively expensive. As you know we went for the Beaba open bag; we love it but if you're using disposable nappies and for one child it'll be unnecessarily big. Go for lots of pockets. Pockets for nappies, wipes, changing mat, bottles, food compartments can be good. Space for your own stuff - what do you normally carry with you? It needs to fasten to the pram either with special loops or a big shoulder strap. Can you get into the bits you need to while it's attached to the pram? I have a thing for pockets so always pick bags with many and like the new fashion for them coming with a pull out cool section for food and bag for spare clothes. Ours also has a dummy pouch that clips on though we don't use dummies and haven't decided what to keep in there yet! Hope that helps!

Well so far I've staved off the migraine. Had lunch then a little sleep. Theoretically we're off out for a walk now. Will see how that goes! Our snow has mostly gone today which is brilliant!

 

[madcatwoman]

yes, a bag that will go the distance really.

im not sure if im entering the 2nd tired phase as i was in 1st tri. i have been feeling very sleepy these last few days, it may just be christmas, but for the 1st time since 1st tri ive just had a kip on the couch!

 

[gilz82]

I'm tired all the time these days Madcat but I've been trying not to have any naps. If I nap during the day I can't sleep at night even though I'm knackered

 

[molly85]

cheap one from tesco isgoing to be my startewr bag, then see where we go.
Well going back to bedwas deffinatly the right move, feeling much better.Asda open til 8 so will potter over once matts gone, he got a bacon sarny. Pram shop wasn't answering the phone today Wahhhhh.
Lovely bedding, I was looking on there at the blankets I like the ones that look like picnic rugs. I mightask my dad to make the swaddles and some fleeceblankets.

 

[MADLYSBOYS]

Hey Ladies :wave:

Glad your having a good time ozzie

So sorry to hear you`ve been feeling under the weather again Peanut I think my `blooming` stage has passed too cause for the last two days I have felt crap and madcat like you very tired I had a bath earlier and ended up feeling so tired afterwards I couldnt move my arse off the sofa to load the washer

Ladies I agree with Peanut I about the changing bag Something that holds plenty and also has lots of pockets....my change bag sort of became my handbag too after Oliver cause you end up carting so much stuff around the less baggage the better Mines from verbaudet here it is (sorry not THE best pic cause its on a special offer but there was a leaflet in a baby brouchure for it and I fell in love

https://www.vertbaudet.co.uk/panier.aspx#

Last night was really nice at our friends house All the kids were there and we played lots of prize games inc bingo....whoever won got to pick a wrapped surprise gift Our hosts had gone to lots of trouble even with the food and it was a really enjoyable evening...Oliver certainly enjoyed himself and came home with 3 gifts he had won We got home passed midnight which was a rare treat for Oliver but the night was def worth it and am glad we went although I wasnt feeling too great yesterday aft

Tomorrow we are having our `best bits of christmas dinner` lunch Chicken rolled in stuffing, roasties cooked in dripping, yorkies and DHs gorgeous gravy and for dessert extra special profiterole cake yum yum cant wait!

 

[molly85]

Sounds Yummy Madly and an excellent night.

Slowly perking up now
