We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[Kiwiberry]

I was looking at courses through the college and I'm not sure if I can do it with a baby. I'm just wondering whether it's possible to do it through my sons nursery

What's everyone having for dinner? I'm sooooo hungry x

I am eating breakfast right now . Well about to, probably going to have some cereal.

 

[Mummy to be x]

You could do an apprentaship UB most nurseries are willing to take on an apprentice, You used to be able to get the job in a nursery and then train on the job (bit like an apprentice but better money) but they don't allow that anymore, their ever so strict on qualifications these days. Definitly look Into your options

Hmmm I'm not sure about dinner yet, I might just have fish cakes, curly fries and beans, yum

 

[Mummy to be x]

What time is it where you are kiwi x

 

[ab75]

I'm having pasta, meatballs and garlic bread.
omg, I hate beans and fishcakes so that means dh hardly ever gets them lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Really? Fish cakes are one of my faves!!! Yummy! X

 

[Kiwiberry]

Mummy, Right now it is 2:09pm! We use a 12 hour format. No military time here.

Ab, omg I love sketti!!! Especially with big home made meatballs!! I think spaghetti is my favorite food lol.

 

[Ziggie]

I made fish cakes on Sunday never made them before. I'm not really a 'pie and chips/fish cake/egg and chips' kind of person, but my OH is so I made them for him. They were actually really nice. I had them with sweet chilli sauce, he had chips and mushy peas lol. We tend to make most of our meals from scratch, but we had sausage and jacket potato tonight

I've eaten too much so I'm sat in bed!!

 

[Kiwiberry]

This forum always makes me hungry .

Glad your scan went well ab.

Aww UB I bet you were so proud! There's no better feeling than being told your lo is clever.
Mummy I wonder if your BP dropped while you were out walking... If it happens again then I'd mention it to the midwife just to be on the safe side.
We had homemade spag bol for tea and it was delicious! , think I may get an orange soon though and some pork scratchings they are my guilty pleasure! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Haha!! Ooh I wish I new where to start from making things from scratch, I really should learn! My OH is the cook in this household.

I'm stuffed after dinner, but I really fancy chocolate or strawberries....we have none of either in the house

 

[Mummy to be x]

Thanks Carly, I might just do that x

We had spag bol here

I have a little problem. Since having a noticeable bump I can't empty a full bladder, embarrassing but I stood up after going pee at my nans and then peed a little more and about 20 minutes ago went toilet and when I got downstairs I still felt like my bladder was full so went back up and did ANOTHER pee

DS is still awake he napped late so there's no relaxing time for us

Mummy I go dizzy and lightheaded when out, MW said it's a drop in BP x

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.

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.

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.

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

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

I thought it was excessive too, but a friend of mine has the same schedule. She gets a scan twice a week and has since I believe 32 weeks. She is now 38 weeks. All her pics are 4d too. That part I liked but I don't like the cost, not to mention, they make you pay your 20% of the delivery cost up front by the end of 7th month. My pregnancy is considered high risk, I guess that's why. We're not complaining since it took us 8 years to get this far. It's just costing more than we expected. They good thing is hubby's job reimburses us for the cost after baby is born.

Glad your scan went well AB and your visit UB. Kiwi, yes they do have very cute designs, one of the reasons I wanted to try cloth diapers. I love the different colors and designs. Had to do some convincing with Dh though, just wants to get cheapies and go.
A walk on the beach sounds nice Mummy, it's so hot, I can only take walks inside my work building on breaks.

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thanks for the reply Babi! lol poopie explosions!

Now that it is dinner time, we are gonna have marinaded chicken in garlic and herb sauce, angel hair pasta, and a twice baked potato. The potato was my idea lol! I have a huge craving for baked potato and A1 sauce!

 

[Mummy to be x]

UB that happens to me a lot I have to sit on the toilet and extra few seconds and lean forward to squeeze the rest out

 

[Ziggie]

We are going cloth

Sticking to bum genius freetime with the biodegradable flushable inserts. Wanted to try blueberry basix but not many retailers in the UK.

My friend cloth nappies and has helped a lot with what we need and how to use them (sooooooooo easy!!) and we contacted 'the nappy lady' website.

The money saving alone is appealing, the less waste (our bins are only collected fortnightly eeeeuw). Plus comfort for baby and SO CUTE!!!!

We are totally sold struggling to find a reason not to do it... People don't get how easy they actually are to use I don't think or worry about washing. Will only be every other day.. Not like we have to wash by hand lol.

 

[ab75]

I used bambino mio for Zoe but Zara wasn't comfortable in them so we switched to disposable for her and will for this baby too.
Just ordered jeans, a jersey and 3 tops from new look, nothing fits anymore lol and I wear the same pair of leggings all the time, well it seems that way! Be so glad when they arrive xx
What's everyone upto today?
I am going to hang washing out as it actually looks like it won't rain, I hate drying washing in the house xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I got some new clothes from new look the other day, I love their tops but I think there leggings are rubbish they got a hole in after one day of wearing them!

Today, I feel like been creative I might find somewhere to decorate, I don't want another boring day like yesterday lol. Think OH may have a mini heart attack when he arrives home from work lol x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Morning

I think I might read up about cloth nappies and try them.

I don't have any plans today, OH is still in bed (cheek of it) I never get to sleep in

I want to paint Jaydens room magnolia at some point but the carpet is black and the big feature wall is this https://www.ilovewallpaper.co.uk/wa...+ads&cid=GBP&gclid=CJvkrKqkocACFRDItAodB2MAmA so I'm not sure if it will match, the room is about 5 meters long too so I can't get affordable curtains x
