bradley is still not to good, so another day of looking after him...i did get a better nights sleep last night, with hardley any heartburn yay..

i dont really do gardening as i have bark on the play area and the rest is concrete, we took up all the flowers as the kids just picked them all the time so it was easier to remove them

not good weather today, dull and cold but its supposed to get better this afternoon FX

will catch up later as the normal things have to be done...ie housework and washing

 

[mrsholmes]

hope bradley gets better soon!

Claire- we have loads to do before the LO arrives! I wanted the nursery done first so I can get everything from my mums and sort the spare room out as everything from the wardrobes etc is rammed in there. we also have to paint halls, stairs, landing and lay carpet, re-done dinning room floor cos we have park flooring but oh didnt seal it properly first time around and the cats have wrecked it! we also have to lay a lawn, power wash garden and gloss!!

just had a bath plucked my eye brows and sahved my legs found it very diffcult to do the backs and the bottom

carol- u must be wrecked! can i ask does violet cry when she wakes up or just comes into u? im dreading losing sleep!

thanks Jue, im not a fan of gardening so need very low maintance

[mrsholmes]

take it easy mind!!

ur pram is lovely!!!! cant wait to un pack mine etc its in my mums at the moment untill we finish the house!

 

[ClaireyF]

wow cath, you have a lot to do before june, don't work too hard though hun!

Serina, sounds like your busy too! have you got to put the pram together? its so gorgeous on those piccies!

Where are you both getting energy from?? i feel like i could go to sleep right now! xx

 

[Jkelmum]

Carol I am glad am not the only one with a 2 yr old that doesnt sleep ....ethan wakes 2~3times a night either he as lost his dummy or run out of milk ...he lays and crys until i go in normally goes straight back tho ....Hope violet grows out of it soon xxx

 

[ClaireyF]

i can't wait to put ours together either, its in the loft at the moment, roll on the end of april and hopefully the nursery will be done then! xx

 

[Jkelmum]

Yes she deliverd it and showed me how it all goes its lovely xx

 

[Hunnyx10]

bradley tends to wake at least once every night and he is 4, but courtney sleeps right through most nights unless she is ill and she is 19 months

so losing sleep is normal for me but hubby helps a lot as he gets up to bradley while i sort out courtney lol, so when Summer is born i think it might be the same that she will be another lil waker too..just hope she will be more like courtney and only wake when ill

 

[mrsholmes]

omg im going to be like the walking dead if I dont get sleep for 2-4 years!!!

Claire Im not actually doing the work OH is I just supervise I do everything else around the house, I refuse to do DIY as well!

what have u got left to do in the nursery?

 

[ClaireyF]

Lol i have everything to do too in the nursery, strip walls, re-wallpaper, paint ceiling, paint door, paint skirting boards, paint the wallpaper and put the border up. curtain rail needs to go up but that can be DH job and he wil do all the painting except for the walls can't wait to get started though! xx

 

[mrsholmes]

[Rosella]

Hi Everyone,
sounds like there's a lot of nesting/ house prep/ nursery prep happening on here!!
Going shopping this w/end for the first time and *hopefully* going to try and pick a pram. still don't know what to get...
yours looks lovely serina

Claire - not sure about the deadline - drawn a bit of a blank as half the stone hasn't been chosen yet...(not by me, by the client that is)! difficult to finish therefore ... Have mw apptmt this afternoon which i'm looking fwd to.

Antenatal class lady said get your bags packed by 28 weeks! better get a move on then!

 

[Rosella]

what's beard pudding?

 

[mrsholmes]

typo! bread putting- like bread and butter but without the butter


28 weeks really...........! prob do mind next weekend while im putting everything away in the nursery

have u see any prams u like?

 

[Rosella]

bread pudding!!! ahhh. I love it actually!

well - i just don't know...being in london you need something a bit nippy i think. but we live right opposite a massive gorgeous common and i want to go walking on it. it's not all manicured paths - some are quite like tracks. so something like a phil n teds is really good for that. but it seems to be quite a big pram to me, and not that light! everyone says get really big wheels if you're going walking. mclarens are really popular here cos they are light and fold up small and are practical. But would it be good on the common???

Then i have a moses basket/ carry cot dilemma. Should i get a pram with a carry cot or just get one that lies flat and get a basket for the flat...???

just don't know what to get cos i can't quite envision what it's going to be like...totally stuck!!

 

[Jkelmum]

My baby clothes that are for my hospital bag are bin washer as we speak ...will be all packed by tomorrow so then she will go over

 

[Rosella]

good plan serina!!!!

 

[mrsholmes]

the janes prams are nice my friends got one and she needed a nippy/on for walking- I found the quinny type ones were nippy but the child would get soaked should it rain!!

she used to have a mcclaren and she bought the janes as it wasnt surdy enough!!

thats def a good plan serina!!

 

[mrsholmes]

just had this text off james.........


"how about Evlyn Francesca Holmes"

he's given in!!!!!!!!!

i dont mind francesca as a middle name not a first!
