New Year Rockers (UK & Other)

[sazzle123]

Hi all. Hope you are anjoying your holiday Margie. Both my nan and my mother-in-law broke their hips last year, my nan is 86 but my MIL is only in her late 50s so that came as a shock and it was very difficult for her to adjust to not being able to get about and do things around the house, but she's on the mend slowly. Sorry to hearabout your mums leg Flowertot, sounds like you will be busy helping her and your brother.

Nice to hear from you Emma - I see you are having a boy, have you picked a name? Is this your first baby?

Well I dont have much to report, just decorating the lounge, im hoping it will be finished in a few weeks,we can get back to organising the nursery. xx

 

[Margie]

Hi All,

Certainly sounds like everyone is busy decorating and generally nesting. I can't wait to get started on the nursery when I get home. I'm glad I have something to look forward to because leaving my family behind is always hard and I'm sure my hormones are going to make it even more difficult this trip The weather here is still awful (hence time spent in front of the computer rather than on the beach), although we have decided we'll go out for a walk along the beachfront later and then fish & chips So not all bad.

Also nice to chill out and have nothing to do - my sister is trying to teach me how to crotchet

Hope all is well with you all

Yeah, i'm settling in fine, unpacking was a mission, but i was determined to get it done straight away so i didnt have boxes everywhere for months, i just have one box left which is full of old photographs an stuff that i am yet to sort!

Hi Sazzle, yes this is my first, not really picked a name yet, got several floating about in my head, i guess i'm gonna see what he looks like first.

Shopping today so i better go get ready, nursery stuff to be bought!

 

[flowertot]

Well ladies here is my bump pic. DH took it for me last night. i'm so shocked by how big my bump is. can't believe it will probably get much bigger

i'm finding it quite difficult to lift DD now. my bump is getting bigger and so is she!!

 

[Lullaby2010]

Great bump flowertot!

Sorry I've been not been on much lately. Been working very hard on my support group website for Epilepsy.

Glad to see everyone seems to be doing well.

Still no photos yet I'm afraid but have started buying the safari themed items for Ruby and DSD's room.

H2b has been fantastic and has been getting me to teach him to cook so he can prepare meals in the days after we come home from the hospital with our little one. He learned how to make lasagne tonight, it was delish!! Big thumbs up to him!!

 

[Emma1980]

nice plan lullaby!

I'm going for a safari theme too i think, though i havent started anything yet, i suck.

 

[flowertot]

morning ladies.

i have no idea how i'm going to decorate the nursery yet. at first i was thinking blue and beige but then i thought it might be a bit boring so now i have no idea.

looks like a few of you will be moving into third tri in a couple of days. how exciting!

 

[sazzle123]

i bet you have had enough on your plate with moving house emma, plenty of time yet anyway

love the bump pic flowertot, im gonna try to take one later and post it on here later 2nite. i cant believe how much my bump gets in the way already! really struggle to put my shoes and socks on! and i cant reach my keyboard at work very well anymore! it aches a bit too by the evening at the top. anyone else get that??

i think i must be moving into the 3rd tri because im 27 weeks 2moro, im REALLY excited about that! the last month went so quick.

im hopefully going shopping on sunday for some new clothes too, its about time because im really scraping the barrel of what will fit. im after some comfy flat boots, something similar to uggs (but cheaper!), a new coat and some maternity jeans and trousers, and some tops...! i guess thats a whole new wardrobe then. ill be searching for the bargains because im on a very tight budget!

hope you are all well x

Welcome Becyboo, good to see you xx

I feel massive now and top of my bump hurts by time I go to bed now.

I have a friend coming to stay tomorrow for the night, and she's bringing some pampering stuff with her, lol, she said I need a good pampering session so she's gonna give me facial, a manicure, foot massage etc. Bless her, she's so lovely!! I'm really looking forward to it!!

xx

 

[flowertot]

hi girls.

hope you have a lovely time with your friend lullaby.

my bump it hurting too girls. went for a walk to the park with dd this morning and by the time i got back i could hardly move. its scary to think that the baby is only about 1/4 of the weight it will eventually be.

 

[Margie]

Hi Girls

Welcome Becy :wave:

Glad you are feeling a bit better Lullaby - I sure could do with someone to do my feet for me. Putting my trainers on in my plane seat this morning was quite an experience!

How was your shopping trip Emma? Did you get lots of goodies? We are going to a NCT nearly new sale on Saturday and are hoping to get some of the essentials.

My bump has started to stick out forward more and I get a really weird feeling at the bottom of it... like it's going to pop open All the skin is starting to get quite tight now too and I'm rubbing lotion on like crazy.

Well I'm back in London again, my flight arrived this morning. My hormones were dreadful yesterday and I spent most of the afternoon in tears about leaving my Mom. It was so great to see my family though - I have 4 older sisters all with their own families so it was quite a crowd, I haven't laughed so much in ages. My bump got loads of attention, rubs and even songs lol. We were also given so much stuff for the baby, my sister is sending it over for me because it didn't all fit in my suitcase. Got a couple of blankets that people had made and a teddy made by my MIL - can't believe people went to the effort of it... again got very emotional!

Hope you are all keeping well

[flowertot]

welcome back Margie, glad you had such a lovely time with your family. i can understand why you are emotional.

i've just got my new car and can't wait to go for a drive in it. i think little pudding is excited too because he's jumping around in my tummy.
