Afternoon!

Just been reading through the posts and I was going cross eyed I'm so tired and now I can't even remember most of what I read

Good luck with the scans girls!

I'm quite nervous for tomorrow morning about the home nursery visit, I pinched some febreze from my Nan after that I'm going to town on Thursday to have a word about getting these outrageous charges wiped off my account then no plans till the scan so it's going to be a very slow week x

 

[Mummy to be x]

UB don't be nervous everything will be fine have you noticed your little boy is 2 year 2 month 2 week 2 days old

Ub everything will be fine, she's just coming to meet you not to inspect your home xx

Mummy the access course I did was made of 2 subject each with 3 written units and an exam then a toolkit which I think had about 6 pieces of work to be done. U get set deadlines for each unit which can overlap with the other subjects too so you could have 3 pieces of work due in on the same day which can be hard but you just have to manage your time wisely, I did the course whilst working Monday to Friday evenings and then looking after katie everyday too apart from a Friday mornin when she had nursery and I managed to do it!
The 4d scans are amazing! We had one with katie and you could see all her little features! I would definitely recommend them. I'll try and post a couple pics later
UB when I had katies home visit they just discussed what things she likes and dislikes and what her general routine is, whether she naps or is attached to anything etc etc. It was fine! They don't come to check you house, just to discuss your child's needs xx

I hadn't noticed that, thanks Mummy that's pretty cool

Now I know it just may be like that It's not so bad, OH will be here anyway! Just over 3 weeks till he starts properly, so scary!

I didn't have any scans after my 20 week one and I don't think I will with this baby either, I'm so excited to see if he/she will look like my son did x

I'm the same UB, katie had loads of dark hair so I wonder if this baby will too it's so exciting! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

UB - you'll probably find it quite nice getting to know the teacher, it will be lovely, after all that's who's going to be in your sons life quite a lot

I never had any private scans with my daughter either but I'm going to this time for sure

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I'm so excited, a week will probably fly by it's not exactly long

What's everyone up to tonight? x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm wAtching the soaps UB and I'm going to comb through the kitten and make sure the horrid fleas are all gone. Yak!!

How about you x

Hi ladies, it's been a long boring hot day. Now it's storming out. I finally get my gender scan on Friday . Those five weeks since my last one seemed like such a long time. I'm just hoping baby is in a good position this time. Last time she/he was being stubborn and wouldn't change positions.
Wow, I can't believe most of you have your last scans at 20 weeks. My doc told me every 4 weeks until 7months and then twice a month. In my last month, she said I would have one twice a week. All I could think was omg this is going to be expensive. I seriously volunteered for overtime at work to help with the cost. Dh has also, he works 1 to 2 hours over a day and then every other sat.

Lol I wish I could go back to the place we got ours done it was such a great experience but unfortunately we have moved now, so I need to find a new place. Have you got everything sorted for baby yet?

We pretty much have everything we need now. The only things we are really missing is my diaper bag, breastfeeding items, and the diaper items. We decided we are going to order diapers for our baby in December so that we are ready. The place we are going to go through is the honest company. I am not sure if you heard of them? Link posted below in case you wanted to take a look. They have diaper and wipes bundles. You can add extra too like diaper cream, powder, etc.

Here is the diaper bag I will be getting. A bit expensive, but I am really a sucker for fashion lol. If it shows up with the blue one, there should be a color box to select to the right of the picture. I want to get the pastel multi colored one since our baby is a girl.

What about you?

What made you decide to go with the honest company? I checked them out, but we decided to go with pampers swaddlers and Huggies pure and natural. We're going to use cloth diapers at home, but since baby has to go to the nursery, we are going to get throw aways for them.

Halfway today, although I probably won't go to 40 weeks, but this is flying in now! I want to cherish every minute as it is my last ever pregnancy and I love being pregnant!
Will post 20 week pic and scan pics later.
UB, good luck with the home visit, not that you'll need it!
swtpnk, good luck on fri!
mummy, hope your kittens fleas have gone xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ab - what time is your scan? Do you usually go into labour early then? My dd was two weeks late I went into labour the night before I was due to get induced lol. I'm hoping it's not the case with this little man x

Yep I think the fleas have gone, no signs!

What's everyone upto today? I think we might go for a walk along the beach, I've done no exercise in this pregnancy and I'm sure it'd help with labour if I did x

 

[ab75]

9:50am!
yip, zoe was born at 34+5, 90 min labour(total, from start to finish), zara was 38+5, 50 min labour. Dh says if I cough this time the baby will fall out lol.
I'll have to take the dog out after my scan, tire him and the girls out a bit xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Oh my goodness that is fast and early babies!!! That's crazy

Good with the scan ab let us know how you get on

Kiwi I have my sons nursery home visit today

If this baby came at 38 weeks I'd cry, that would be one hell of an expensive Christmas! x

Are you sure you will be getting a scan for those appointments? I have the same type of schedule, every 4 weeks then every 2 weeks, then every week, but I am not sure if I get an u/s for those appointments or if it is just a checkup!

It is quite expensive though I feel ya there. My insurance only pays 80% so we have to cover the rest out of pocket.

What made you decide to go with the honest company? I checked them out, but we decided to go with pampers swaddlers and Huggies pure and natural. We're going to use cloth diapers at home, but since baby has to go to the nursery, we are going to get throw aways for them.

We went with the honest company because I just love the designs on them! Plus, they have a really good deal when you bundle and its delivered to your door. It is still not 100% that we will be sticking with them or not. I am going to try them out and if we like them we will stick, if not we will most likely move on to Pampers.

Congrats on being halfway Ab!

What is a nursery home visit?
Good luck with it though btw!

Pampers isn't organic

Is that really the only difference lol? I was expecting some more details on functionality. Or maybe why you think Pampers is better.

Pampers held in the poopie explosions better.

Congrats on getting the gender scan soon! The schedule you describe sounds like the one for regular visits. I'd be surprised if they scanned you at all of these. I wouldn't think it'd be necessary. That sounds excessive even for someone who's high risk.

A walk on the beach... that sounds heavenly!
