PAL - February 2013 rainbow babies

[Diamonddust]

Brilliant bargains! The most pricey thing I have to get this time is the double electric breast pump, I am still looking at them, but so glad OH finally agreed to get me it

I honestly haven't even started looking into those yet, I figured I'd try and BF and if I get on with it/can do it then I would purchase a pump so OH can do some feeds as I do know its a good bonding time, I've bought the bottle set (tommie tippie) and they are suitable for combi feeding, I've also bought a couple of cartons of the pre made milk for my hospital bag just in case (they were on special) and dated till sep 2014 so didn't think it would harm, I'm very nervous about the BF as I'd very much like to be able to do it!

My OH's bonding time will be baths and nappy changes and cuddles and the odd feed when I am exhausted.

I used the Tommee Tippee bottles with my 2, they are fab!

That's really good to know! OH bought those I hadn't even really looked into it but its the starter kit with bottles, teats, warmer, steriliser and everything else!

Thanks sweets! I did read in your journal about your shopping spree, and saw some of the bits oh making custom hoods sounds great, I wish I was crafty enough to do things like that, I've ordered some custom bits for little mans zapp!

I think you journal needs an update with bump pictures!! I'm starting to get pretty big now too, measure 114 cm around (we measure around the bump) just for fun! I've attached a pic LOL the cats like to curl up but he just likes to kick them!

Can't believe how fast the time is flying by! Xx

Awwwwwww look at your bump! Yeah ive found it quite fun to see the cm go up, we first did it and it about 1 1/2 months ago and I was 90cm and then 2 days ago I was 114cm, I'm waiting for the stretch marks to appear! Some times I feel my skin stretch when I get up to quickly!

 

[Mrskg]

You might be lucky a not get any I'm one big stretch Mark : rofl: good thing is there's no room for new ones

Diamond what a cutie. Fab pics.

Loving the bump pics too ladies. Will have to add mine.

I have the travel system sorted and a few more baby clothes to add the the mounti=ain I kept from Emily. We are hoping to move house so nursery etc is on hold for now. I finish work next wednesday as I have all my holidays for this year to take prior to my maternity leave starting. So will hopefully get sorted then.

 

[Mrskg]

Thanks Debzie your bumps looking pretty amazing!! I've started AT&T my annual leave and my ML officially starts on the 7th dec (annual leave until then) as I work outside with no heating and I've well and truley outgrown the uniform it was agreed with HR and my boss that this was the better option!

I'm bored out of my mind! I need to get on with the nursery but of course I am worried once it is done there will be nothing left to do but twiddle my thumbs! I need to go shopping over the next couple of weeks to finish up the list of things we need! Xx

That really really is so beautiful! Xx

 

[debzie]

mrskg that is so good I love it.

Diamond I cannot wait to start my annual leave as I have so much to do and no time with work and emily to do it. I also have a feeling that my LO is going to come early I dont know why but I do. Im sure you will find yourself something to occupy yourself.

We have absolutely nothing prepared but started the nursery decoration yesterday so that we can order the furniture etc... I don't go on maternity until jan 25th so I know by return after Christmas I'm going to be crawling on my hands and knees towards finishing line! Lol. Just don't want to be sat at home waiting too long!

 

[hope88]

Hi ladies lovely bumps glad everyones doing well i have this horrible preasure pain of an evening down in my vagina area but feels more deeper inside if that makes any sense it makes walking so painful does anyone have this?

Debzie: for some reason i think my little mans going to come early i have no idea why i think this its just a feeling. I heard most women follow the same pattern as there mothers when they go into labour i hope not because mine had to be induced with me and my sibling

 

[shocker]

Mrskg that is so gorgeous!

Hope I had this a few weeks back and have started getting it again the last few days, the midwife said its just when hes in head down position it causes a lot of pressure and it can be painful (trying to walk when he rubs his head off the pelvic bone is agony!) I remember my sister going overdue with her youngest and he was so low down that the day before she was induced she had my nephew waving a chocolate bar between her legs trying to entice him to come out she said it felt like his head was out sometimes!

Heres my bump today at 30+2 , Im convinced hes going to come early aswell even though everyone i know has gone overdue with their first Im just convinced that hes so big and strong he surely wont be able to fit soon

 

[Mrskg]

Nt good for you working so long I'm finishing work 4 weeks today can't come quick enough xx

Hope88 I hope the pressure eases soon xx

Lovely bump shocker x I've always been on time so I'll be shocked if baby comes early xx

Really struggling with heartburn today gaviscon and milk are my best friends just now x hope I'm not in for a rough night xxx

been MIA for a while. School has finally slowed its pace a little, so I have a few minutes to read and catch up. Vericose veins (first experience with these!) sent me to the medical supply store for compression stockings which help a lot. DD (20) moved out again so I will actually take over her room for LO and paint it AGAIN (it's only been 7 months since I redid it) in a pale pink. I spent Friday at the fabric store buying hot pink print and black print fabrics for quilts and curtains, which I'm anxious to get into, but not for another 4 weeks when school lets out. All my baby bits are in storage and will come out next weekend when I drag out Christmas decorations. I will not get to go through them until after school lets out, because I get too engrossed in preparations and don't spend enough time on my studies. I have to admit I will sit watching my bump morph for half hour or so while I should be studying. I just have no interest (ugh!)
I expect LO to be late like her 5 older siblings. If my conception dates are right (not a whole lot of question when it happened just a matter of if it happened the day we DTD or 1, 2, 3, or 4 days later), and this will put her around the 16th through the 20th. I was never certain with the others when it happened, but my ultrasound dates confirm this timeframe.
Lovely bump pictures, and that 3D scan picture was AMAZING!!
Hope you all are doing well...28 weeks 3 days along for me, slowly creeping up on 30 weeks...so hard to believe Thanksgiving is over and Christmas will be here soon. I am thouroughly unprepared for little one's arrival
