[tink]

Morning girls!Hope you are all ok x
woohoo! so glad this weekends work is over,i'm on nights for a month,although it doesnt make much difference because i'm not sleeping well anyway,its just getting harder to keep up because i work on a 26 bed medical admissions unit and they come in from A&E or GP and then we do all the observations and taking bloods and then they get seen by docs ,tthen we,the healthcare assistants ,have to take them on beds and chairs for xrays(yes all thru the night!)or up to the wards when a bed becomes available.As well as toileting and care in between!!
I wont be working any longer than i have to!
At the moment i just feel sooo bunged up and uncomfortable,i need to go iygwim?Ive been taking fybogel and drinking fluids and eating fruit for england!But just getting lots of wind!!!
And my 14 yr old son is being a pain in the arse!!
BUT i dont care cos i've got my 20 scan on wed morning!

Morning all
I am hating this snow grr its freezin my chest hurts and all kids are off school

Hi everyone,

Just back inside in the warm after taking my DD out in the garden for the first time in the snow. I'm not sure if she liked it or not. She wanted to go outside but then once in the snow she wanted to come inside again. But every time I took her inside she wanted to go out again! I'm not surprised though as the snow was up to her knees!

I finally started buying some bits this weekend. Got a Tommee Tippee electric steriliser in Mothercare for £24.99 and it came with £19 worth of bottles. Am planning to BF, but am hoping to express. I think I might go for an electric pump this time round though. Also bought some vests, sleepsuits and a little blue and white cardigan

Also checked out the Phil&Teds double pushchair while I was there. Am very tempted but my DH says I have to sell our Quinny Buzz as we dont have room for 3 pushchairs (we also have a cheapy buggy). Does anyone have any ideas how much it might be worth? It's just the pushchair in bright red (no car seat or carry cot).

LOL! Talking of boobs tho... Those of you who have little ones already, how much did your boobs grow? I went and got measured the other day and am already a 40E... how big are they going to be by the end?!

I was a 36D before I got pregnant with Violet and whilst breastfeeding I went up to a 34G!

Welcome Tweeny :wave:

Serina - I hope you feel better soon.

Sounds like you've got the baby shopping under control xx

Hi Jue,

We've had about 6-8 inches of snow here and it's still snowing! DH is at home too as there are no buses or trains running into London.

Not quite sure about having the baby shopping under control. I only started on Saturday! I had been saving some of Violet's clothes but I guess I won't be needing those now. I guess I should keep them for a little while though just in case the sonographer made a mistake!

[Cariad_bach]

Carol i have that problem .... after having 2 girls i had loads of girly baby stuff saved but my little boys baby clothes are all winter stuff (he was a November baby) and they arnt in the best of condition so im having to get it all in again....

...i hope the stenographer didn't get mine wrong because i spent half of the weekend going through the loft and bagging up all my saved girly stuff (other than a few sentimental outfits i will keep for ever) and my OH is right now taking the bags to a charity shop .... if the scan was wrong i will have a fit lol

 

[ClaireyF]

lucky you Baci with all that snow!! we had some but not enough for me not to go to work i kept getting out of bed in the night just to check lol.

Jue, i am still absolutely fuming about the weekend. its really starting to worry me and can't sleep at night, which is no good for me or baby Josh. i have booked a week off work starting the 16th Feb so hopefully i will have a relaxing week off xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Id be bloody furious to if i was you hun

You really deserve a nice week of so you can have a little R & R and do a bit of baby shopping lol xxxxxx

 

[ClaireyF]

lol no more baby shopping for me we have everything except for the cot and nappies now. Well, we certainly won't be going down to see MIL as often now! costs us about £60-70 of petrol and thats money that isn't going to be spent on that. she really infuriates me!! i assume she wants to come up straight after josh is born but i'm not letting her, she winds me up and tact isn't her strong point! she isn't coming into my house to tell me how to look after my little boy. sorry for the rant, i have cut it short.. i could have carried on forever she's not going to see Josh as much as she would like, but thats her own fault for not letting us save money every month WITCH!!! xx

 

[Baci]

We certainly have had a lot of snow here! We live next to a small green and there are already 2 snowmen built and a few kids out there having snowball fights. I'm guessing most of the schools around here are closed today. And it's still snowing at the moment!

I suspect my DH is hoping the trains aren't running tomorrow either!

 

[happy mum]

Hi all , back from bp check. it was better so thats good. Mw checked hb, she said it was good so she doesn't think i should worry, any way i'll be off to scan soon, as its 40 mins away, then a bit of retail therapy!!! dh can feed, bath and put kids to bed for a change i need abreak!!

Claire you HAVE to get a Bumbo! i didnt have one for my first 2 kiddies but borrowed one for my last and it was brill, she used it alot and she loved it, she sat in it for feeding, days out on a picnic on the beach etc, watching tv or me wash up and hover ... she really loved it.
Where are you off to in March?
