Summer Peaches... going to be ripe in late July/early August!!

[kmbabycrazy]

No. None nearer i looked. I'm shattered. We went to the circus today despite the fact i'm terrified of clowns. The things we do for our kids. But apart from the clown it was fantastic and a good day out. But definitely means an early night for me.

Oh yikes i didn't know i was scared of them til I was 20 and my dad comes out with oh you used to scream at clowns when you were little???

You can get proper night time cloth nappies but they are expensive! The ladies in natural parenting can help there!

I use cloth during the day but a "sposie" at night. I love our cloth nappies :-D

I'm not into any other "natural parenting" though - we're very much parent led and stick to routines etc.!

We were at a 1st birthday party today, I am knackered! My friend didn't have a stairgate at the bottom of her stairs :-O so I spent the whole 2 hours running and fetching my LO from halfway up. And trying to stop her mushing party food into the carpets and sofas. Then she had a disgusting nappy so I took her up to the bathroom and managed to get poo on my friend's cream carpet and on my scarf Then went to my sisters where my LO and nephew spent the whole time fighting over toys and screaming at each other. The joys of parenting!

Haven't got any energy back yet, still needing at least 10hours a night and I'm napping during the day whenever I get a chance too. I don't think it's going to let up so I'm taking Mat Leave at 30weeks I think. I want to be as refreshed and as prepared as possible to ward off PND this time.

Off to bed now! xx

Congrats on team pinl Molly!!!
I wanted to use cloth on LO but OH said no no..he agrees with me most of the time and whenever i tell him I want to get something for baby (like a special cot, or car seat) he tells me whatever I want but totally said no to cloth diapers :/

 

[kmbabycrazy]

I thought about cloth nappies but I'm afraid i'm just too lazy

Me too but we need to move first as well lol. Booking 3 days off for the week after we find out (which is on a Friday) so I can go shopping as it's really hard to resist. Especially because I think it's a girl so I just keep wanting to buy girls stuff which will all be useless if (as it seems the odds are) we have a boy lol. But that way I get to coo over all the dungarees again lol.

You know the closer I get to the scan the more I think I don't care what I'm having...still convinced it's a girl though lol...just feels girly to me.

Welcome wantingagirl xx

Lol this is really funny to watch first time mummies get all excited over shopping. I remember doing the same then buying loads of stuff that doesn't get worn

I'm not a first time mummy and I'm excited over shopping. Even if the stuff never gets worn there's people having babies after me and I can just pass it on...or save it for the next one! I love baby shopping and I only have a couple of carrier bags left of Toby's clothes so I get to buy everything all over again!!

 

[misse04]

I've seen sooo many boys clothes lately so would be fun if we did have one of each but dont mind either way will know in 22 days!

 

[molly85]

Soryr KMB it's not just you guys i have a few other friends at it to. Wish i'd listened the first time round we'd have more cash now

Wasn't having a go lol...some people say to me it's hard to believe it's not your first when you get so excited over things lol. I just absolutely hated being pregnant last time but missed it so much when it was over, so I am really enjoying it this time (despite the bad stuff) as I know it'll all come to an end again and i'll be sad lol.

Welcome!!! When's your 20 weeks scan? Are you finding out if it's a boy/girl?

Of course you can join in! We're always looking for new friends xx

 

[stardust599]

I need to go baby shopping from scratch again!! I didn't keep anything from my LO, even gave clothes away- I've only kept sizes 6-9 and up! I have her tummy tub, angelcare monitor, swing but no moses basket etc.

Money is so tight but I'm sure we'll find some somewhere for some new clothes, funky nappies and baby bits and pieces. I want new blankets etc. too xx

 

[Mosnippy]

My friend has two girls and is pregnant. They've decided it's their last so she wants a boy but thinks it's gonna be another girl. I have a boy so it would be nice to have a girl but just think I'm not lucky enough for my instinct to be right twice so we have a running joke that we'll swap (she's due only 9 days after me) lol. Obviously only a joke.

I wouldn't worry OH was like that, he really wanted a boy so used to joke that he wouldn't need to be disappointed by a girl because it's a boy, but now even he's convinced it's a girl and though he was a little miffed to have that feeling at first he's now really excited to have a little girl...which makes me really happy because now I know he'll be super excited whatever sex the baby is xx

 

[molly85]

Matted wanted a boy with abby now I bet its a boy and he quite fancys a girl

 

[Mosnippy]

thinks its just men in general lol... cant make there minds up!

 

[stardust599]

I was sure I was having a boy with my LO, in fact TBH I was probably quite disappointed when they told me at 20weeks it was a girl but I wouldn't change her for the world now and couldn't imagine myself with a little boy!

No idea what I'm having this time xx
