November Mummy's - It's nearly time

[XKatX]

Afternoon ladies.
I didn't realise I was being that active! Just making sure I get out and about everyday!

I had a lovely walk to the shops and then went round to my friends. She has a 6 month old, who is to die for! He is so chubby, it's funny. She gave me a moses basket and some baby toys. So now I'm like Mrs P - just way too excited for my own good!!

Then I nipped into town - I'd run out of Raspberry leaf tea.

When I got home, the Kleeneze man turned up with my delivery. So I have put together my shoe rack - this house will be so organised by the end of my leave!

I plan to chill this evening - hubby out to Kung Fu in a while, so probably watch some Greys anatomy. Then an early night after last nights efforts!!

 

[MrsP]

Aww glad you had a nice day Mrs P, 20 mins is better then nothing i think i was only got that long with the dog, wasnt sure if the rain was going to stay away!
OH is off to pub 4 a pint with his step dad later so i will just be relaxing at home a hot bath and watching the Bill! Baby P will be here soon! just try and wait! xx

Claire and I got caught in the rain! But like you say better than nothing, want to try and get out everyday.

Hey lovely,

I have packed, 1 pack of tena ladies medium absorbancie (sp), 1 box of disposable underwear, 2 pair of knickers, 3 nighties 1 in which to give birth in, 2 pair of socks, slippers dressing gown, toiletries. I have packed 4 outfits including coming home out fit, which is a baby grow to match nursery interia which is Zeddy & Rhubarb from M&P's, 4 vests, 2 hats, 1 pair of mittens, 1 snowsuit (don't know how cold it will be), I have packed 2 blankets, one is for the carseat and the other for hospital, plus the shawl from when I was a baby. I have packed a long sleeved t-shirt and pair of velour tracksuit bottoms to come home in, 1 pack of nappies, 1 pack of cotton wool, sudocrem, vasalene (sp) and a towel. Also packed a spare t-shirt for DH, deodrant and some facewipes so he can freshen up.

Oh and some carrier bags, not that I expect pressies, but just encase.

How I've packed. I have to bags, both mixed. 1 for the initial labour and one with the things in for coming home in.

I have tried to pack main bag in order that we will need things. I have also put LO's outfit, hat, nappy and cream in a carrier bag so that when they dress baby Si just can hand it to them and not have to rumage through the case.

Hope this is of some help. x x

Thanks hun, i have no idea on anything, i have read through the hospital bag list over and over again and i keep coming with a blank.
I live opposite the hospital, so what i do forget is fine as it's so close, but i just want to know im covered for everything.
Didnt make antenatal classes last night as have been poorly, and now i just feel really unprepared.

Evening mummy's,

Quite a catch up I've had, anyways just managed to rescue the shortbread before sitting down - still need to do caramel and choc tho!! Yummy!!

Luvbunsazzle, baby is coming home in this https://www.mothercare.com/gp/produ...?ie=UTF8&m=A2LBKNDJ2KZUGQ&n=76087031&mcb=core
Still got to sort through what I've packed as not happy, cant really remember what i packed! Although at the min mine and baby's things are seperate, I'm going to put coming home outfits for both of us in another bag (which can live in the car till needed) - total no of bags = 3!
Think I've packed about 3/4 babygrows and vests. OH can fetch more if needed, and thinking 2 packs of 10 maternity pads.

Hope everyone has had a good day. x
