I love seeing everyone's hoarding, especially as most of my stuff is Sophie's, so I need to get my buying baby stuff kicks off you girls instead!

Amantilia, very wise to get your house through first! No point having a load of baby stuff and nursery furniture if there's nowhere to put it! House buying can be a very temperamental and contrary business.

I was going to get a boppy pillow last time, but not sure if I went with a different one in the end, shall have to look when I get it down. I've dug out my pregnancy pillows for support at bedtime and I slept all the way through last night.

I've had a lovely idea whilst in the bathroom (don't laugh!) but whether I can do it or not, I don't know. I have a nasty habit of taking on too much - I've already agreed to make someone's wedding invitations/RSVPs right before baby is due.... but anyway, am excited about my idea so might start working on it soon to see if I can pull it off.

Aiden- Oh my those baby stuff still make me squeal in joy. Are you having a girl!? The stroller is pink!
Is that a breastfeeding pillow!? I had the Boppy and didn't love it so I switched to "My Brestfriend* and loved it, much better back support, it's just the name of it :p

The stroller definitely does look pink in the picture :haha: Its actually tan and green. Apparently the lighting in my room is worse than I thought. :haha: I'm definitely having a boy though. He likes to be uncooperative during ultrasounds but he did make sure to let us know he is definitely a boy :winkwink:

It is a Boppy. To be honest, I didn't even know there were other options for breastfeeding pillows. :dohh:
 
We already have the cot and mattress, the moses basket a solid plastic carrycot I use as a moses basket some clothes the steriliser the pram baby monitors, I just need to decorate the nursery really :)
 
Good morning ladies!! I hope you all had a great weekend!

Congrats on the boy Dreamer!!

I cant remember who asked, but our nickname for baby is Tiny Minion. At least until we find out what gender we have (one more week!!! YAY!!:happydance:) And I think we may have thought of a boy name this weekend. We will see!

As for buying stuff, we havnt really gotten a start on it yet. We will be moving before baby is born, and we don't really want to have mess with all the stuff we wont need yet.
We did get a car seat since it was on sale and a couple of onsies. Found a My Breastfriend at a second hand store (in great condition and with a nice green cover! Yay for gender neutral!) but that is really all for now.

Have been feeling movements pretty consistently and I love it!!
 
Amantila- we haven't bought anything for bubs yet, partly out of superstition, partly out of not having any idea what we're doing :) We recently bought a house, and I agree it's good to wait until the ink is dry on the contract to make big purchases. It actually was really useful for us- when I went into department stores and they started pressuring us to buy credit cards we just simply said we were in the process of buying a house. Stopped the sales pitch immediately!

I've been feeling quite a bit of motion today. I guess someone is as excited for his scan tomorrow as we are.
 
good morning ladies!!! I gave away everything with my last baby. lol Going to be a big expense getting it all again. I plan to slowly buy things over the next few months. This weekend we bought a crib!! :) It was on sale for a really good price. It is a white crib. With my other kids I had a dark wood crib and this time I really wanted a white one:) I have my anatomy scan tomorrow, hopefully all goes well with that.

Just1more - super cute nickname! SO great you are feeling lots of movement:)

aidensmomma - love everything you have bought for the baby so far:) Makes me want to go shopping now!! lol I am having a boy too:)
 
Well I'm measuring 2 weeks ahead already and midwife agrees it looks like I have gd she has made me an appointment to see consultant in 2 weeks time and will hopefully speak to gp about me getting more test strips to continue monitoring my sugar levels as an hour after eating they were 10.4 :shock:
 
Goodness those outfits and baby things are so cute.
You ladies are making me feel jealous (happy jealous) because, I don't know the gender yet and neutral things arrso boring to buy.
 
Not doing much shopping here. We still have almost everything from DS so that's a $$ saver! So far I've only bought my breast pump and some gender neutral onsies. Oh, and we got a new car seat back when Babies R Us had their trade in days. As for nicknames for baby, we've had a hard time coming up with one but so far the one that's stuck the most is Bug.

Hope you all have a lovely week!!
 
Uni- I always edit my posts too so I won't quote you again, sorry! :) I just got a dresser and put a changing pad on it (those thick white ones you can cover) and used this as his changing table!

And you're welcome about my Brestfriend! I loved it! I'm giving my preggo sister my Boppy as I'm not going to use it and she has nothing yet for her baby. I'm also giving her all DS's clothes forget boy, but I will keep the sentimental outfits :)
 
Megan- Call your insurance and let them reimburse you for the breast pump!

I feel like I'm lacking on all the baby buys hehe! I may go ahead and order a crib and dresser I found online for a good price, both white.
 
Ginge- sorry you're dealing with GD. Does a bigger baby increase the risk?

For anyone still sick or feeling queasy, I just read an article that said that vitamin B6 helps. You can find it in avocado and chicken, but also in bananas. I swear, bananas are my miracle pregnancy food- if I go more than 2 days without them I get headaches and muscle cramps. The only thing is I'm really sensitive to texture, and when they go brown I can't eat them. But I recently discovered banana and plantain chips (really just dried bananas/plantains) that are easy to carry around and snack on.
 
xan, banana has been life saver for me too. I definitelyrecommend it for those still suffering from ms. Also, for some weird reason I am craving avocado sandwiches this pregnancy and having them daily for breakfast.
 
I bought the mybreastfriend nursing pillow when I was pregnant with DD. It was one of my favorite purchases! I am definitely buying another one:)


ginge - so sorry you are having to deal with GD. Hang in there:hugs:
 
Mmm... avocado sandwich. I guess I know what I will try to track down for lunch now. At my old job, there was an avocado sandwich with pickled red onions that just flashed into my mind.

I have crap insurance so I'm sure they won't cover the fancy one I bought but I plan on finding out what they do offer and getting another free one for a back up. When DS was in the NICU I got spoiled using the hospital grade one and when I got home to the crappy one I had it was a shocking difference. I think that played a big part in me throwing in the towel on the breastfeeding thing. This time I'm bound and determined to make it work even if I have to exclusively pump so I splurged on a very nice pump.

I second the dresser as a changing table idea. That's what we did for DS and it worked perfectly. If we have another boy we will just use DS's nursery and move him out. I still have all my bedroom furniture from when I was a little girl (in the early 80's lol) and I plan on refinishing it and using that for the nursery if we end up with a girl.

Ahaha :blush: you can still quote me. I never change the intent of the post, I only add more details. I just thought, I needed to explain that I am simultaneously indecisive and OCD :haha:

Actually, a dresser with a changing pad on top is exactly what I want! I've just gotten in the habit of calling it "changing table" because DH agrees we need one of those, but he was ambivalent about a dresser. I want a low dresser for the changing table and one of those tall dressers for extra storage. And a bookshelf. And some sort of cute stackable bin system. We have the arms reach bassinet, so I think I'll try to hold off buying a crib until after baby arrives. The only other furniture I have so far is a rocker that's been passed down in the family.

Once again, I had a lovely morning catching up with everyone as I sipped my coffee. You ladies make me smile <3
 
Our nursery furniture consists of a chest of drawers with the changing table on top. Very handy for grabbing what you need mid-nappy change! Shall find a pic of our nursery for Sophie.
