The Chatterboxes

Bw- I declined, and OH also thinks the same.
I know we are more prone to getting it, but im just trying to stay cautious when I feel the way I do about the jab.
Glad your feeling happy today I know what you mean, sometimes I even miss the single life lol when all I worried aobut was if I had the right extensions in lolol, now im having a baby, and getting married... When did I become an adult?!
Lol well OH picked a good dinner lol.

Whoooo thanks Claire!
I know oooh 30weeks sounds so, there lol

I cant wait until I can start mine... 10 weeks and counting! xxx

hello, thanks for all Roxies birthday wishes, shes having a great day, loving all the toys & attention. Reese on the other hand is very jealous & has sulked this morning, think shes going to be fine later at the play centre though she moaned all the way to school & then refused to go inside lol


i heard that the flu jab only protects against certain strains, also once you get it you aint immune from getting a different strain, it scares me even more now i know how bad it is!

Happy birthday Aimee, hope you have a lovely day.

Morning chatterboxes! :wave:

Well i needed that lie-in after shopping yesterday! Was bloody knackered!

Firstly Happy Birthday! To Aimee and Roxie today!

Happy 29 weeks to PC! (omg thats so scary you're in the 30's next week, ah!!) and also happy 27 weeks to me and callie! lol...finally 'official' BnB 3rd tri'ers!!

Callie- i was soo good and only bought two baby things! A little pink animal print cardi for her (which is so stylish it makes me weep!) and also a little pink teddy for her crib as iv now finally got it all set up!! I'l attach some piccies for you to see my work! lol

Other than that we were looking for a 'peter pan' outfit for my little sister as she decided thats what she wanted to dress up as for the children in need day at her school lol! No idea why 'peter pan' and not tinkerbell like most little girls but ah well!

MS- i find keeping the window open at night really helps me sleep too, glad you're feeling better and hope Alex doesn't get hit too badly- he sounds like a little soldier!

Im also one of the ladies who has turned down the swine flu jab...for pretty the reason im just not 100% comfortable with it and im just opting to take extra precautions instead! Although it does scare me a bit...hope iv made the right decision!

Some lovely stuff you have there twigster, i have that crib aswell! x

 

[3 girlies]

that crib is gorgeous, so girly

 

[pinkclaire]

Twiggy you put me to shame! I spent all weekend shopping didn't buy anything for baby! Although I did get my wedding shoes, they are lovely and really sparkly but with a kitten heal so I can walk in them (bloody pregnancy!).
Ps congrats on 27 weeks xx

 

[nervouspains]

Yay Twiggy! Happy 27 weeks to us!

The cardi sounds lovely! Wow the crib looks beautiful

me too- we always sleep with the bedroom window open- last night though the wind woke me up and I was up and down needing a wee! So annoying!

xxx

 

[twiggy56]

Aww thanks ladies! Its taken ages to get all the bits and bobs together but its nice i can see it all done! All the stuff will need to come off and have a wash before she can actually go in it though!

Do any of you have a time in mind for starting to wash clothes, blankets etc? I didnt wana start too early cause then it will just gather dust!

I also was thinking about this the other day, callie- you said you keep the window open at night...well...will we be able to do the same once babys here? I mean...we have the room quite cold but we get cosy under a high tog duvet and a throw- i just love the cold air on my face!

PC, the kitten heels sound like a good solution! I miss my heels so bad!! I used to LIVE in them!!

 

[nervouspains]

Good questions Twiggy, thats true- I didnt think about that! Oh I hope so, OH cant sleep without the window open! I suppose it will be colder in Feb, but then we also turn the heating off before we go to bed...

I think I am going to start washing all his clothes at about 38 weeks... so time to wash them, dry naturally and then iron, so I dont have to rush

Plus I am sure that people who have bought things for him will not wash them first lol.

I am having a shower in Jan, so I know the bits I get from friends then I can wash myself, but my mum is giving me a big box of things she has been collecting since my 12 week scan, btu I am not allowed that until he is here!
So fustrating when that will all need washing too! lol xxxx

 

[nervouspains]

I was thinking about my materinty shoot... and what clothes to wear

I was going to wear 1 shoot of casual clothes, like jogging bottoms and a t-shirt/ vest top... Same for OH to wear simular clothes to me

One set of photos of OH and I topless, just in our jeans

and then a few of me topless in just my jogging bottoms

I also want one 'sexy' kind of photo, so I really want to wear heels, but I dont know what else, I dont want to wear any sexy undies only- because 1, OH wont let me lol and 2, I wouldnt feel comftable as I feel like a bloater already... What about heels & bed time shorts? or maybe a silky nighty? xxx

 

[pinkclaire]

Twiggy, you'll be surprised at what temperature a baby is meant to sleep at, a window open is also good for them to stop germs spreading. Have you got a room thermometer? The ideal temp is 18 degrees which feels pretty breasy to me! X

 

[3 girlies]

i always slept with my window open when Roxie was born, she was always warm though & out of the draft. she slept so well & im sure its coz it wasnt stuffy at night.

np, defo have a pic in heels! & i love the jeans idea. when are you having them done?

 

[twiggy56]

Yeah my OH cant sleep without the window open either! Even when its baltic outside!! Thanks claire, i think i will get a room thermometer actually so hopefully that will help give me an indication to how cold the room can be...and OH will just have to like it!!

I think i might start washing at around 38 weeks too...im guna take a load of washing down to my mums and use her tumble dryer for the very newborn stuff...like the vests and sleepsuits she'l first be in so they're nice and soft...but as you say callie, all the stuff we're given will have to be washed too! Last thing il want to be worrying about when shes only just arrived and im sleep deprived!!

My shower is on the 19th Dec, so hopefully that will give me the chance to get any bits organised in January.

Callie - about your shoot...one of the display photos for my photographer was this really simple one and it was both the woman and the man in plain blue jeans and both in a white t-shirt...it looked really good! It was simple but really effective...and i probably will do that for my shoot, but wear a tight white t-shirt to really show bump off! Oh and for the sexy one, maybe some little shorts type-thing? Or even some not too fancy french knickers? They cover a bit more than other sexy underwear?

 

[randomxx]

Thanks for your input girls

[3 girlies]

np, 34 weeks sounds great, not too big so you can feel comfy in the pics.

Roxie is now a very tired & grumpy birthday girl, shes laying on the sofa with a blanket watching playhouse disney i need her to have a nap coz shes gonna be even worse when we go out later!

 

[mummysuzie22]

Thank you Twiggy..he deals with being sick alot better than his mummy lol
I have to sleep with a window open or i feel claustrophobic..poor hubby has to wear 3 layers to bed lol

I love the crib and bedding it's gorgeous!!

I bet your pics are gonna be gorgeous np!!!

I'm gonna wash Kellan's new stuff i bought about 36 weeks..i already washed all Alex's things i took out of storage so not gonna bother washing them again.

Anyone know of any places to buy baby blankets? Not too expensive? xx

 

[nervouspains]

MS- try tescos/Asdas?

My nan bought me a lovely fleece tigger blanket from there in blue- its lovely and warm xxx

 

[mummysuzie22]

[pinkclaire]
