Mine has to be his baby bouncer

 

[Angel2Fire]

Hi everyone

My must have's are:

*A cot-bed with a higher setting for the base so I don't have to bend down so far.
*Making up bottles with sterile water for the day, so only the milk powder needs adding. saves all the energy of warming up/cooling down bottles.
*Having a bed in Chaise's room so I don't have to walk back and forth when he's having a bad night.

I also have a baby bath that goes over the bath, its soooo much easier. And when chaise comes in the bath with me I have a seat that kind of lies back.

When Chaise used to sleep in my room sometimes, we kept wipes/ nappies ect in a box that we could just carry from rooms so we didn't have to go searching for where we'd left the wipes ect.

Anyway, How is everyone getting on?

 

[Jemma_x]

:wave: Hey girls, I'm in!! Thanks for setting this up Angel, great idea, and ta for the invite too

Must have, Vincent's Link-a-doos chair, my Close baby carrier (PERFECT for using with wheelchair / carrying him with crutches!) ummm.. There may be more, I'll think on it a bit! Like the sound of the bathtop baby baths, must get one of those, it's a nightmare at the mo!!

Would you guys like me to make some blinkie badges for our sigs? I've done a couple in the past, any ideas about what could go on them are gratefully received!!


Jemma, so sorry to hear about your PND, I skirted the edge of it but luckily passed quickly for me... Stay strong honey, hope you're getting plenty of support!
Abble, Tyler is gorgeous, love your sig!!

How old are everyone's little ones now? What names have you all chosen?

Shadow xxx

 

[Abblebubba]

Helloo Shadowrat i remember you from another thread you've had your little boy! congratulations hes gorgeous.
My little boy Tyler-Jay is 4 months 1 week old, crazy how fast it has gone!
Erm what about a blinkie simply saying 'disabled mummys club'? that way you wouldnt have to have a blinkie for each disability?
How are we all this evening?
Thought i would share this photo with you all.

[Nanaki]

Yeah Shadow, I am very much nervous now but also exciting lol! Less than 4 weeks to go!! *gulps* but I think the baby will be making an appearance anytime because of the baby is big, more pressure on my bump and my private xx

 

[ShadowRat]

Nanaki, will you be delivering naturally honey? Will this be your first? Any "feelings" whether it's a boy or girl? Got names picked out yet?? lol... Lots of questions, sorry about that!!

Abble, yea, I started a disabled mums-to-be thread a while ago and I remember you from there In fact, I got "spotted" in there by a BBC radio chick who interviewed me to make an 8 minute radio piece about becoming a disabled mum! It was pretty cool hehe, never been on the radio before that! Might be able to dig out the link if it's still on the site... As I said, your boy is GORGEOUS! You must be sooo proud I know what you mean, time really does whizz by doesn't it? Vincent is nearly 2 months now, and I just can't believe it!! He's my gorgeous little trooper, I am soooo in love with him hehe!!
Those of you ladies who are still pregnant have all of this to look forward to, even if it's tough in the early days, just sitck with it and it gets sooooo good very quickly!! The first time your baby smiles right at you is just the most magical thing

Thats alright, Shadow! Yes I am hoping to delivering naturally. And it is my first child of course. I got a gut feeling it would be a boy, but don't know until the birth! Two opposite sex names already pick out but wait til the birth as well to see if it suits them. Don't worry about the questions being throwing at me

Hope you all well, I guess I am only one not yet popping out! xx

 

[ShadowRat]

Nanaki, I think Seraphim is in third tri also

I had a gut feeling that Vincent would be a boy right from by so you may be right!!

xx

 

[Abblebubba]

I said from the moment i took my test that my baby was a boy. and i was right a little boy
How is everyone this evening? Shadow have you thought anymore about the blinkies hun?
