Praying for a 2012 BFP and 2013 Baby!!!

[MrsPTTC]

Ahhh Harry's first steps! Well done Harry! And what a cutie thomas is bless him . I love m&p but goodness so expensive! I want the changing mat to go with the nursery but its over 30 quid for some reason the 20% off doesn't apply to it...x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Oh and I wish this shitty weather would feck off! Everywhere chaotic & roads flooded, nightmare x

 

[30mummyof1]

Oh I know have a look on ebay, sometimes people are selling new or excellent condition used. I got the cot bumpers on ebay loads cheaper.

We've been lucky here, just the usual miserable cold weather but not the flooding. Are you still able to get out and get to work etc.. ok? x

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ah yeah thanks, the roads where I live are fine, though I'm off today and have heard on Facebook my route to work is bad. Hopefully be better tomorrow... The paths taking the dog out are about a foot deep in water in places though! Good job I've got my wellies

I've been checking out eBay but still quite pricey for used. I bid on some of the tie backs the other day but by the time you added postage on top it was only about £4 more for the new ones! Will keep my eye out though as m&p have a 365 day return policy I noticed so can always take what I've bought back x

Sooo good for Harry and his 1st Steps!


Yes Ladies, a New Year's Eve gender scan will be GREEEAT!!!

 

[Flowerbaby]

Yaayy well done Harry takin his first steps! You will have too post some updated pics of the boys Rach xx

Weather been awful here too, couldnt get in or out of our village for 24 hours so ended up staying at my mams an extra night. Poppy is teething at min think her top teeth are pushing on her gums so shes hardly sleeping or eating at min, shes quite chirpy in herself but her milk intake is terrible at mo, she only had 9oz today! Eeekk! Think i will dreamfeed her tnite too try n get more into her. Am taking her swimming with tosspot tmor so that will be interesting, his idea though so will see how it goes.

How is everyone else? Anyone got anything exciting planned this week?

MrsP thanks for letting me know how your friend got on, ive been online looking at some self-help sites and im finding them quite interesting reading, ive been cutting and pasting some paragraphs from them so i can refer too them when i need too.

 

[30mummyof1]

There's a new one on my profile hun, of both boys standing behind the sofa which is rather cute!

ahh poor poppy, those horrible 1st teeth Wondering when Harry will get some more, he's had 6 since he was 7mths!
Goodluck with the swimming tomorrow, hope it goes well with him

Not much on tomorrow, Thurs have parents around in the morning and swimming lessons in the afternoon. Then Friday my friend is over for a catchup and drinks.
Excited about the weekend though, Christmas tree up Saturday and taking boys on Christmas santa train sunday!

How lush that Harry has taken his first steps!

Hope ya all are staying dry and safe in that wet weather.

I'm doing fine over here- not much happening besides school and lots of work. I have training this weekend. No time off until next weekend on the 8th of dec.

 

[MrsPTTC]

Aw Rach that pic on your profile is so cute! Bless them!

Claire I'm so pleased the self help is interesting Hun how did the swimming with dh go?

We went to see Skyfall last night, it was fab! Tomorrow night got the builder coming round to finalise things before the extension gets started on 10th! Work on Saturday all day & not overtime pay . Funny mood tonight, tired, emotional, ratty, feel like crap

Uk ladies did you have cot bumpers? Reading conflicting reports & some worrying stories x

 

[30mummyof1]

Yes Claire, how did it go?

Don't think we'll get to see that at the cinema, but will watch it when it's out on Blu-ray

Great news about the extension, will it be going on over Christmas then?

Well there are risks with bumpers hun yes, some people are very anti them. I'm not going to recommend them, however I have used them for both boys and obviously had no problems. My boys are both fidgets and would end up anywhere in the cot and then bang their heads on the sides and wake themselves up.
Also if you are using a moses basket then they won't be going into a cot until at least 3mths maybe later depending how big they are.
I think you've just got to weigh up the pro's and con's and see whats best for you hun x

 

[30mummyof1]

Just seen you are an egg plant! or an aubergine as we brits say!

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ha ha yeah I know! Only 3 more fruit to go how scary! I'm going to ask the mw next week about bumpers & if they say not to use them then I'll take it back. But DH has agreed to me buying the curtains so I'll order them & if I get second hand ones in the meantime I'll take them back. Would rather get them now when they're cheap x

 

[30mummyof1]

There is a more another option to bumpers and that's something that goes around each rung of the cot, think they are foamey material? If baby kinda stays where they are put I guess you wouldn't have to cover every single one might be an option if midwife is against it?

 

[MrsPTTC]

Sorry forgot to respond to your question about the extension - starting 10 th December, assume he'll have a break over Xmas but will find out tonight. Dh in control of everything I've got no idea what's going on ha! It won't affect the indside of the house til they knock through & that'll not be til Jan so only the outside will be a mess!

Yes I found them, bumpsters they're called, really good idea! But liked the m&p one as it goes will the nursery I think if mw says no then I'll take the m&p one back & if I think I need something when babies a little older then I'll order those bumpsters

X

 

[30mummyof1]

Oh that's ok then, was picturing you house being a mess inside whilst they worked

Cool, glad you found them

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ooh no I would've put it off til Jan if that was the case x

 

[MrsPTTC]

hi all, did you have a nice weekend? Ive been busy busy busy, had the week from hell and was unfortunately at work all day yesterday so my weekend is almost over before it began! Went to my preggo friends last night, didn't go to sleep until 1am then the dog had me up 4 times being sick He seems much better today though and I've had a little taster of motherhood I've been shopping today and went for tea with DH, my BFF (who split up with her DH this year) and her LO. She had us creased over tea, wiping the table and walls with her baby wipes lol and chattering away. She's 2 in March, very cute! I was supposed to put the tree up today but with my bad night I had a lie in and just didn't have time. We might end up getting a real tree next weekend anyway, never had one before and though it'd be nice...

So DH felt LO kick for the first time this morning! and I saw it move for th first time. Very nice but weird!

x

 

[30mummyof1]

Hun, ahh how exciting and your dh must have been made up

I'm so lucky my lo's have never had vomiting but I'm sure that will change when Thomas starts pre-school poor pooch x

We put Xmas tree up yesterday, think baubles have been removed about 5 or more times already! Make most of Xmas tree staying as you decorate it! Then today we took boys on Santa train! Bless Thomas he found Santa a bit scary to start with, never known him be so quiet! He loved it though

 

[MrsPTTC]

Ahh how lovely! Time for the Xmas smilies ha ha Really wanted the tree up this week but have now decided to get a real tree as I'd rather experiment this year than when we have a crawling baby. If they're too much hassle we'll go back to our artificial one next year. Pooch is much better today! Been to his grandma and grandads as thought we'd better keep him away from the other dogs with his walker today. He's back to normal tomorrow though. Got my 25 week mw appointment tomorrow x

 

[30mummyof1]

Good luck tomorrow Hun, i used to love my midwife appointments
