Oh i have only got breast pads, so far lol.... i feel well behind now, i wanted my hos bag, plus his pram all befor xmas, but i just cant afford it all! even with the grant, the cot bed,mobile,bumpers, will all cost 399, i may have to look at getting a cheaper cot! x

 

[AimeeM]

Where are you getting the cot bed from? We just went for a cot because our room would be too full if we had a cot bed in there so we are having the cot then will get him a bed when he is bigger as he will be in kaydens room with him then, unless we get a 3 bedroom house but i don't see that happening anytime soon

 

[Beautywithin]

Toys r us, its because its i love my bear, cot/bed..... thats why its so expensive, the cot alone without the matress is £189

the bedding and bumpers are stoopid priced


pointless it being a bed, i had one like it for Paris, and time she was ready for a bed, she had destroyed her cot with teeth marks lol, so i ended up getting her a new one

 

[nervouspains]

Has anyone thought about just getting a travel cot? You know one of the ones you can raise up though? I was thinkinhg about getting one of those for a while, as well as the moses basket? Just thought it maybe a cheaper option until we get a 'real' cot? lol xx

 

[Beautywithin]

hmmm good idea, completely forgot about travel cots.... he isnt gunna need a cot for a bit anyways, we have moses basket and a crib! x

 

[AimeeM]

The only thing i found with the travel cot was trying to bend down to put him in/out of it so one that raised up would be good. I haven't seen them though?

I was planning on just the cot but my friend got me a moses basket bless her so i am not going to buy the sheets for the cot yet.

It is really snowing bad here

 

[Beautywithin]

No snow here, its still icey, but the sun is out!

 

[AimeeM]

I love snow but i hate ice!

 

[nervouspains]

Its gone all slushy here, apparently we are maent to have sun until the end of the week now!
But its ok, im going online xmas eve to look at the sale stuff

Iv seen a few in babies r us, they ahve really nice ones for about £50-60 quid that you can raise up- and some of them even have a chair slider thing to change the babies nappie on xx

travel cots are a great idea, pauls sister gave us one & they are so handy even when they are bigger.

I am feeling really down today, been rushing around & now im tired. Roxie wont have her nap, she gets straight out of her bed as soon as i leave the room then starts pulling all the toys out. I sat on the side of the bath earlier & just cried, i never cry. I hate pregnancy hormones I need some time out i think, paul was meant to be off work this week, so far hes worked everyday so i havent seen him. Its too hard doing it all on my own.

I havent felt Sydnee move today, it took ages to find her heartbeat with the doppler, for those minutes i felt so sick with worry. I found it but she still hasnt kicked, even though i've poked her. How many movements are we supposed to feel & how often?

 

[twiggy56]

Im not bothering with a cot OR a cotbed as iv got the crib and that will be in with us for hopefully 5 months odd...so we wont need one for another 5 months or so...plus we're moving house in the summer so would just be another thing to lugg about! Iv not had any experience with travel cots though...cant really help there!

No snow here, just bloody baltic!!

3g's i think its meant to be 10 movements? But i dont know if thats in a day or in an hour?!

Callie...are Babies'R'Us having a sale on xmas eve?! I know some places are staring early...but if babies r us are then im sooo getting straight on that one!! Its the only sale im actually guna brave! (and possibly mothercare if they have one!)

 

[AimeeM]

Aww heidi

My mw told me 10 in the am and 10 in the pm but still know what is normal for you. Don't worry about ringing them, if you are worried about baby ring them now.

I hope you feel better soon chick, it is probably the stress of christmas all building up xx

 

[nervouspains]

Oh 3girlies
I knwo how you feel, sometimes when you keep all the stress in, sometimes you just need to have a cry.
Im not sure, tbh I ahve never counted I just know he usually moves for a few mins early in the morn, then again at about 10, then again in the afternoon and then once or twice in the evening.
But I notice nearly everyday changes, liek on the weekend I honestly felt him moving aobut constently from 10-1 then he didnt again until the evening... maybe he had a energy burst lol

Im not sure Twigs- but apparently loads are- i think mainly online and then boxing day in the actual shop.

Yay only 30min until I can leave! I wonder if the mw will tell me hiow he is laying.
I have some questins to ask her too- does anyone else want me to ask her anything?
xx

 

[3 girlies]

yeah definately the stress of christmas, i thought paul would be at home to help me so i could get the last bits sorted & tidy the house but hes hardly been here

well usually if i poke my tummy she kicks me, but ive tried this & she hasnt moved. ive just had a glass of lemonade & a picnic bar so gonna see if that wakes her up. Shes not normally this quiet!

 

[twiggy56]

My mw told me 10 in the am and 10 in the pm but still know what is normal for you. Don't worry about ringing them, if you are worried about baby ring them now.

That sounds about right...10 in AM and 10 in PM, think i get more than that but if thats the average then id go with that! I agree with aimee though...dont hesitate to ring them if you are worried about lack of movement, they have to take it seriously considering how far along you are...

good luck Callie at your app! Let us know how he is lying if they tell you...iv got my appointment tomorrow, im hoping shes head down- not that it really matters too much at this point, think its just reassuring!

 

[nervouspains]

Thanks Twigs

3girlies- have a collllld glass of water- that should do the trick, that works for me mopst of the time But my mw said to ahve a freezing cold drink, and then a hot one- apparently the sudden changes in both tempretures should wake baby up xxx

 

[randomxx]
