Official October Team Bumpkins

[lucilou]

I feel like I'm just making things worse now... whole flat looks like a tornado has ripped through it! three bin bags filled so far though... hope I can pull it together before hubby gets home so he actually notices I've done something positive and not just made a big old mess! Have gone through the entire BBC adaptation of pride and prejudice on dvd to keep me company so far... Bridget Jones 1 & 2 next, I think... it's a veritable Colin Firth fest!

I normally hate housework but I'm actually getting on ok.... I guess this must be that 'nesting' thing I always thought was a myth!

Afternoon all, well OH called me a few hours ago and said do I want to meet him down the pub with a friend for sunday lunch (he'd been out to tae some photos) So hoppedin a taxi and had a lovely steak and chips, followed by rubharb crumble. I got the bus home and now totally whacked.

I've noticed at night when I roll over from one side to another i'm getting horrible cracking in my spine. I'm wondering if it's the extra weight/pressure of the baby.

Hiya girls....

well i am on a roll The bouncer we brought yesterday is all washed and fresh, i am now washing all the moses covers and sheets along with all the cot bedding

Thought i'd show you all the Moses we got months ago lol... This came off ebay for £18 and i love it.. cant wait for my little lady to be sleeping in it I loved this one when pregnant with Ethan and couldnt afford it .. Plus we didnt know the sex with him x





Will get some pics of my swing etc later as we are gonna sort through everything and start sorting the things we will need straight away, the rest is going in the loft as my house looks like a franchise of Mothercare .. TTFN xx

 

[lucilou]

thanks BabyLove... I was just starting to run out of steam and you have got me motivated again.....can't believe how organised you are and how many lovely things you've got!!!!

 

[baby.love]

Lucilou its all been done on a budget believe it or not! Most of Freya's things are off ebay and carboot sales... We just couldnt afford to buy all new.. Obviously my bottles/dummies/steriliser etc are new, but even then we got them in sales

I'm not that organised TBH, just been doing bits slowly since we moved into this house.. When i get tired i just remind myself why we are doing it all.. I know i have 8 weeks 5 days at the most till she is born but that time will fly and i want to be sure we are ready for her, that way when she is here we can relax and enjoy her.. xx

Hi all,
Weve been to a carboot today too, got a few more little bits for Ethan..some newborn tops and a gorgeous pair of reindeer bootees for him to wear around xmas time,I'll take some pics of them after Ive had my tea,which is being made by my fantastic hubby Then when we came back and I had cooled down abit (sooo hot today!) hubby put the cot up while I cleared out my corner wardrobe then sorted through all the baby clothes,putting them on hangers then hung them up. Ive not washed any yet,I'm waiting untill I go on maternity leave from work to do it,give me something left to do!! Well, I'm chuffed to bits with the cot,it's gorgeous, I'll have to take a pic of that later too along with just a few of my fave baby outfits. Right, teas ready, back later xx

Evening All!

Lunch was fantastic & massive! Had a wonderful time it was lovely meeting up with our friends again, last time we saw them both was at our wedding, when we'd arrange to meet up for lunch other wifey was poorly. Today evryone was there...

And I managed without snacking too, good job really otherwise I'd have never managed a pudding... Hehehehe roast beef, yorkshire puds and all the trimmings with apple crumble and custard for pudding... Still full, even now... Planning on having cornbeef and beetroot sannie later... Yummy..

You've all been very busy today, you've really put me to shame... I'm changed into my pj's already and have done nothing since getting back; ok I've done 2 more loads of washing... Woo Hoo for laundry!!! - Beginning to really hate it... I found some more black bags as I was going to bed last night... Oh did my heart sink...

Baby.love - love the moses basket...

Chaos - Hope your wrist improves, I've never heard of it... Guess you're gonna have to start taking things easier... Have a great time at the BBQ - I don't know where you get all the hours in your day from, would you mind sending me a few; please... Oh and a couple of cases of energy too...

OH is being a super duper star, we've come back and he's cracked on with painting the livingroom... He's planning on finishing our room off next weekend... Bless him he's really really has stepped up to the mark 10 folds... I'm so proud of him... I could marry him all over again... Ok I love him...

Even his mate today did the finger wagging, at me 'you can't do and shouldn't be etc' OH did defend me and told the friends how work are and have really looked after me etc... They then wanted to know all about which hospital, how long, what about the cats etc and labour plans... 6 weeks until maternity leave.... And counting lol

10 weeks until babes due - argh!!! So much yet to do... Will it be done? If not, almost... I hope, and I can't say that OH isn't doing more than his share... He really has excelled himself...

 

[lucilou]

glad you've had such a lovely day eswift... sounds like your hubby is a keeper for sure!

Yayy for lovely husbands!
