pregnancy buddies due in June 2009!

[Baci]

I mentioned that at my last appointment. I can see me having a hard time getting the form as the midwife said she didnt have any.

 

[ClaireyF]

yep i will ask her about that!! i had forgotton lol, i will write it down and put it in my notes. remind me before Thurs lunchtime Jue, your memory is much better than mine!!! They should start paying out the money in about a months time shouldnt they xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Carol from what ive read on here in the diffrent sections people over the last week or so have just started getting hold of them so hopefully next time you see her she will have one for you.

Yer Claire i think its April they start to pay it out but because of the back-log it will probably be June before we get it

 

[Baci]

I hope so, the MW just suggested trying the hospital. Very useful eh?

 

[ClaireyF]

i dont mind when i get the grant, i just want to get it at some point! i am bidding on an I love my bear dresser on ebay...fingers crossed i win it! DH doesn't think it will fit in our room/nursery...Im sure it will!! xx

 

[Baci]

Good luck with the bidding!

I dont mind when they pay the grant, just dont fancy having to chase around trying to get the form in the first place!

 

[happy mum]

Hey girls,
Good luck in getting the forms!! i'm on weeeklys withh mw and she still hasn't got forms!!, i 'm hoping if she doesn't when i se consultant on 19th he'll have some?? who knows.
well we had terrible night with dylan, up hourly crying, threw up at 2am all over me so had to get shower. i think its just a cold but hes such a boy about it!! evie had it a couple days ago ended up taking her to out of hours at hosp as couldn't get her temp to drop below 39.5 so was panicing, but shes ok, just a nasty cold i think? that or virus, seems to cover everything!! lol, poor dh up at 5am every morning milking too so hes really knackered. looks like we'll be in bed at 7.30 with kids tonight!!

 

[Cariad_bach]

Aww Nats poor dylan hope hes over it quickly .. yer it will be early nights all round in your house!

Claire how did the bidding go?

Carol your MW sounds as helpful as mine lol.

Does anyone know when Serinas back? im not sure if she went for a week or long weekend.

Cath hun how are you feeling today?



Well its Birthday day in my family .... my little sisters 16 today, my step dad is 50 today and my dad is 64 today!
How weird is it that they all have there birthday on the same day lol

 

[ClaireyF]

oh dear Nats sounds like fun fun fun in your house at the moment!!

Jue, i won the I love my bear changing unit i got it for £62...they sell them for £149 (i think) on babies r us. only problem is that its in Weston Super Mare near Bristol so can only collect it at Easter when we go down to my MIL. The lady off ebay was happy about that coz i thought i better email her before i bid.

Whats everyone up to today?

After my huge meal at lunch time i never had any tea last night but then was starving at midnight lol!

Carol, hope your feeling a bit better

I think Serina has gone for a week...but i could be wrong
xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Yay congrats Claire thats great ... its a long way to go tho! ... you planning on going to see your MIL then are you? your a better person than me hun xxx


Im not doing anything today i dont think housework i suppose and eat ...eating seems to be my main hobby at the mo

What are you up to hun?

 

[ClaireyF]

yes we are going to see MIL...its either that or she comes up to us...atleast its only a couple of days if we go there, last time she came to us she stayed for 2weeks!!! it was just after my MC and she was so insensitive i went mad at her! it was only a about 3 or 4 weeks after MC and she was going on about how it would be nice if there was a new baby in the family

Housework...thats something i'm putting off until the weekend. i'm out for tea tonight with my friend to a carvery near her thats £3.50...we have one near us and its so so tasty mmmmm Josh is gonna be having a good time again

At the end of this month i can start decorating the nursery i am sooo excited, can't wait to get all Josh's things out xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

I tell you what hun i cant believe your still speaking to you MIL .. you must have the patients of a saint!
I dont have alot to do with mine ... shes never done anything to me really.. i was just never 'as good as Karen' (karens OH's ex)
Then i dragged my poor OH all the way to wales where she couldn't see us every day


Bet you cant wait to start decorating .. im missing out on that again ... i have a girls room and a boys room so Jamie will be in with me until he's 6 months then he will be in the boys room (which is flipping Liverpool football club themed )
It was the same with my last LO Katie, i already had a pretty pink girls room for her to go in to.

I hope your going to take before - during - and after piccies for us to see

 

[ClaireyF]

lol you evil woman dragging your DH away to nasty wales...exactly what i did too Paul moved from Exeter upto just outside Chester to be with me.

I will take pictures of the room, it looks so small at the moment because we have a double bed, huge fitted wardrobe and chest of drawers on the room, its gonna look much bigger when we get the bed out of there! but then again it will be full of baby things! i'm surprised that our ceiling hasnt given in yet with the weight of all the things in the loft

xx

 

[Baci]

Morning everyone.

We both still have colds so having to give toddler group a miss this morning. Apart from feeling ill, I dont think it's fair to take our germs there to share either. Looks like DH has also got it now too. Violet was up at 5 this morning, then fell asleep on my lap at 8!

Nat - hope Dylan gets better soon.

Congrats on winning the dresser Claire. You'll definately have to post pictures of your nursery. I have a room for bump but it's just going to be a case of removing the spare bed and putting up the cot. We're renting so we cant paint or change anything

Jue - wow, three birthdays on the same day! I wonder what the odds are of that!

Edited cos I'm stooopid. Sorry Nat!

 

[ClaireyF]

its a shame you can't paint or anything but atleast you can still make it look nice by curtains and bits and peices its nice that Violet and bump will have their own rooms, we only have a 2 bedroom house, i wish when we were looking to buy a house 2years ago we'd thought about our future a bit more and looked at 3bedrooms. Oh dear if Carol, i hope your DH doesnt get the dreaded man flu...if he's anything like my DH then it will be the worse thing EVER!! xx

I think it may be too late Claire - he's heading towards man flu! Saying that, he did go into work today.

We have a two bedroom flat which we tried to sell last year and are now renting out instead and we're now renting a bigger house ourselves. It's great to have a bigger place but it's a pain we cant decorate. All the walls, carpets and blinds are cream, so it's really hard to put some colour into the room apart from a rug and bedding etc.

 

[ClaireyF]

Gosh, atleast you've managed to rent out your flat! i bet everything is so expensive in London, i was watching a programme last night on TV and the house/flat prices are ridiculous compared to N. Wales! it seems for the price of a tiny flat in London you could buy a mansion up here (OK that might be a bit exaggerated!) but its like a different world! xx

 

[Cariad_bach]

Its not a exaggeration Claire.... on Anglesey my dream dream house ( new build or Victorian, 6-7 bedrooms, massive kitchen, set in a acre or more of land, out-buildings, separate annex etc etc etc) costs about half a million depending on which bit of Anglesey .... from what ive seen you'd struggle to get a 2 bed house for that in parts of London!

Carol hope your DH can struggle through his man flu poor thing!!
