[Mosnippy]

lol! yeah you think you wouldnt have to worry about pads and liners but actually lol

ohhh another joy of pregnancy!!!

I'm not jealous I know nothing would've happened between the two. First of all she is completely ruined by her ex and is off men right now and I mean hates everything they do, which is why I know she knows I'd have gotten pissed off (to say the least) at that situation. Secondly, that said ex is both mine and OH's best friend. Thirdly, I know OH's views on cheating as his ex did it to him. I know if he'd have done anything or even thought of doing anything he'd have told me and broke up with me because he'd see it as a sign that the relationship was doomed to fail if he was planning on cheating!

He gave me a massage whilst we watched One Tree Hill on DVD and I ate Ben and Jerry's last night. I'm kind of liking this grovelling thing lol.

What kills me is I know OH would have gone absolutely ape shit if I'd have gone home drunkenly with one of his friends and stayed at their house. Not so much because he doesn't trust me but I don't think for a second he'd trust his friends with me.

 

[misse04]

Ahh I've always wanted to get into one tree hill and never have but definatly sounds like he's making it up to you

groupon just emailed me with a voucher for 2 nights over the IOW in a hotel with breakfast for 2 people for £95 so weve booked it for start of June, will be nice for us to do something with Connie before Harveys here. Thought we will take her to the zoo over there or something on the saturday. We live in Portsmouth though so weve just got to get car ferry/ hovercraft over there Really looking forward to it x

Gah Misse you lucky girl!

Winge alert!

Abby and i have just been to a baby group al lovely but my pelvis was in agony by the time i was back in the car, breaking ouch etc. So I'm thinking i live on a bus route i do not have to be house bound call up the council their version of temporary disability is a year

 

[misse04]

Ouch mine doesnt get that bad but mines more my back than pelvis at the moment though. Picking connie up is seriously taking it's toll too! Bought her a bounce and spin zebra off eBay so going to pick it up later. I know it sounds tight but don't want to spend 45 on a new one if she might not even like it (it's for her bday) and would rather be able to buy more of other stuff too

 

[molly85]

Misse i'll photo al the stuff abby has not sure any of it is new!

 

[kittylady]

Hi ladies

Sorry to hear your hip pain is so bad molly, mine has come and gone but not been that bad.

I've been working a lot over the last 7 days so I haven't had time to get online since my incident a week last Sunday.

Baby seems to be moving fine though I haven't actually had time to kick count apart from sometimes at night but thats when baby seems to be most active anyway

Have you got everything yet? I'm trying to scrape together funds to spend at the baby show next weekend. But had my car insurance renewal up and to top it I now have had the electric/gas bill through so I'm skint

 

[molly85]

we're nearly done on basics might have to look at that hospital bag and start the laundry soon

 

[stardust599]

Ooooh hospital bag! I forgot about that!

What do we need again :-S

Birth nightie
2 pairs PJs for afterwards (with a vest to go underneath and buttons for breastfeeding)
2 nursing bras and 5 pairs scabby pants
Maternity pads
Coming home outfit (something nice/new to make me feel good!)
Shampoo, conditioner, shower gel, toothbrush and toothpaste
Make-up and straighteners

Baby stuff - nappies, wipes, vests, sleepsuits, bibs, mits??????

Is that me? I took far too much last time - I was prepared for a week's holiday haha. I'm pretty sure I took razors, fake-tan and all sorts

Also still to buy -

Dummies
Bibs
Mits
Changing Bag for 2
Ring Sling
CarSeat
Cot

I get paid on the 15th so might as well just finish it all then I can concentrate on washing babys clothes (not ironing this time though!) and finishing up decorating and spring cleaning (again!) xx

 

[misse04]

Lol that makes me feel better when's abbys bday?

I havent even thought about kick counting but I never did with Connie either lol

I didn't wash conies stuff and glad I didn't because I ended up taking so much back to exchange that she hadn't worn and all still had tags on so will probably not bother this time. Actually might do sleep suits and things.

I'll probably start thinking about hosp bag around 34 weeks but your list sounds about right, but I'm taking blanket for baby too and dummies and formula and bottles. Are you really taking straighteners! Haha ad my coming home outfit will be a comfy tracksuit lol. I doubt I'll even be staying night in hospital this time but obviously that depends on what time he decides to come and everything going to plan x

 

[misse04]

Ad I've got most things need cotand cot bedding but won't need them til a few months after he's here so not bothered if I don't have it before he's here. My mums got a cot a hers for connie which I might jus have as she goes in travel cot here anyway. Just a couple more blankets and wantto get a playmat and then just formula nappied etc

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I find the whole hospital bag quite daunting lol. Like it's really real when that bags packed lol, it's actually going to happen. I have shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, lip balm, breast pads, maternity pads, nipple shields, dummies, button down nightie, trackies for coming home in, old knickers, hair brush, tooth brush tooth paste, nappies, wipes, sleepsuit, vest, hat, mits cardigan, blanket and my iPod/OH'd DS for labour. (and the car seat) and I think that's about it. Please someone let me know if i've missed anything :S x

 

[stardust599]

I forgot breastpads! And a hairbrush.

And cardigan and blanket for baby!

Will take nipples shields too as LO couldn't latch without them.

km you might need more than 1 nightie? think i used 2 in labour with LO as my waters soaked them! and i had nighties for afterwards but hated wearing them when visitors/cleaners etc. were in so my mum bought me nice button down pyjamas and i wore those instead. felt much more refreshed! i think i got dressed for visitors last time too but just slumming it this time LOL.

I missed the S off I meant nighties lol. And so long as baby is okay I will be leaving as soon as I can whether they like it or not. Middle of the night or not lol. And even if I do have to stay one night I don't want any visitors for the first day or so so it doesn't matter what I'm wearing. Oh I have hair bands/bobbles too x

 

[misse04]

Erggg hate the visitors part lol. With connie I was jus like leave us alone hated everyone holding her x

 

[kmbabycrazy]

Well it's mainly his family (and both OH and I agreed this). They are really controlling and would be telling me how I should be doing something and how terrible they think it is that i'm not doing this and they would do this and I think i'd end up punching them in the face lol. So when we tell everyone that the baby has been born we're telling them that we will let them know when we're up for visitors. I'd originally planned on the first day or so and my friend said they didn't allow any visitors for a week. I don't think I could have my family away for that long and it's not fair to keep his family away longer so we're thinking the first full couple of days so...

 

[misse04]

My mum will be at birth then visitors will be over the first few days of OHs mum his dad sister and one of his nans (the one I like) haha. And my mum, my nan then maybe my dad and a few of my brothers and sisters (i have 5 on my dads side lol) then there's 2 of my friends I will let come round but will be having a break after that for a good week or so for everyone else ... Now I've written it down I realise how many people there actually are... Erggg

 

[molly85]

lol I meant my hospital bag, the one you grab if you randomly need to go get monitored etc. the big ones can wait.

I'm getting a back pack for double changing bag.

Visitors we run a by invitation or book in advanced policy once home. You turn up at my door you will be given sort shrift! You turn up on the ward you will be told to leave! I'm thinking going out to visit people will be easier if your not in the house your not needing to clean it and some other bugger can make you tea and bring you food!

 

[irmastar]

hospital bag I totally forgot about it

 

[Mosnippy]

I agree with KM, i been getting stuff in the background lol but once its packed! thats it! means im ready and not sure I am ...lol not that i can stop it! i bought all these little travel size toiletries from home bargains.. i got all the maternity pads and breast pads. just needs the nighties, underwear and nursing bras. just a few things i need for babs,

i made a decision that when I am back from london travels, then i pack my case! as i wont be travelling anywhere else!


oh ladies i am so stuck as to what to do with OH, he is wound tigheter then a rubber band! i was in tears this morning cause i feel he is going to crack! and i am exhausted trying to be the strong one and keep everything together. its his work he hates it! he has tried for other jobs but no luck which flaws his confidence. this morning he nearly exploded cause he spilled coffee on his suite (never at me) he just rants in the open.. no matter what i say he doesnt calm down.. so i just shut up i find he calms better if i just butt out..but my emotions got the better of me and i was in tears, he never saw cause that would stress him more knowing he was stressing me...but all i seem to get from him is work work work complaints..and onlyso much i can be supportive..i mean i need some back!
i am the one that has made sure we got everything for baby, the bills are covered now and when im on maternity etc.. i planned the holiday etc i make sure there is stuff to do for his kids...i just cant anymore i need a break off all the organisation lol..then because i am so exhausted cant be bothered to cook in the evenings..he doesnt cook.. i always get ready meals or take aways so i dont have to stand and cook..then i feel guilty cause its crap lol

sorry just need to rant that out! i just feel so useless as to how to get him to come back from the stress ball explosion!
