We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[Mummy to be x]

I'd love a home birth! Just so I could cuddle up with oh after and have a Chinese xx

Ooh that sounds great!!!

 

[ab75]

Thats what I want to do Carly, just be all snuggled up on our own sofa or bed, eat what we want and do what we want without being restricted xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I Don't think I'd be brave enough for a home birth.

They do sound amazing though. Xx

 

[ab75]

Mummy, I won't be getting a pool or anything. Won't have time anyway if he comes as quick as the girls. But I don't really fancy a water birth xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I wanted a water birth with Jay but because I was 8cm so fast and needed to push at that point by the time it was ready he'd nearly be here I hope for a water birth this time.

I've completely changed my mind on the pram I want, I've been looking at the Silvercross Surf now in black.

I'm going to order Jays train table next week then I can start buying baby girls bits properly.. I need to sort out all the clothes I have for her because realistically I'm not going to need them!

Mothercare have a sale on the closer to nature bottles, 30 down to 15 pounds! x

 

[ab75]

Thats a good price for the bottles. I need to go to mothercare and order a new rain cover for my pram and get a mattress for moses basket.
Let me know b4 you order Js train table coz I sometimes get codes emailed to me xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Hats a really good price for bottles.

Ab thanks for reminding me I also need to buy a new mattress for the Moses basket, I'd totally forgot!

Xx

 

[ab75]

No problem. Thought you got a new moses basket xx

 

[ab75]

Oh you said it didn't fit. I remember now xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Yep, it's too small so need to buy a new one. We got the one off display and it already had a mattress in it, although I really don't think we where meant to talk the mattress too xx

I've picked up the Munchkin latch bottles and some Tommy T's. I thought I really wanted Avent but I hear so many complaints about leaks. I got the TT's because I could pay $4.99 for two at Ross Stores, but at big chains like Babies R Us they are more expensive.
When did you all that breastfeed introduce a bottle?

 

[ab75]

I think Zoe was about 4 months and Zara was 3 months when I introduced bottles. But can't remember exactly xx

 

[Swtpinkbabi]

I only get to be off for 6 weeks and I know I have to start a bottle before returning to work. I keep reading that I should start at 4 weeks to make sure breastfeeding is going well. We are also thinking about using paci's because baby has to go to daycare. I'm nervous about nipple confusion.

 

[Mummy to be x]

Pink Babi - I can't believe you only get six weeks off work, that's such little time

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I think we used bottles in the night time so OH could feed but after a while Jay started to sleep through so we stopped using them then after months of not giving him a bottle he wouldn't take one

Thank you Ab, I definitely be ordering it in the next week! x

 

[brunettebimbo]

UB we had the Silvercross Surf for our son and plan to use it this time too. Love it!

It really is little time. Unfortunately, they don't provide maternity leave, so I have to use up all my annual vacation, sick leave and personal business time to cover. Afterwards, your basically off without pay until you come back. The most time you can be off is 12 weeks. We have a leave sharing program, so hopefully people will donate me time so that I don't have to be without pay. 6 weeks is how old baby has to be before daycare. I hate that he even has to go, but my mom works full time and me and dh work the same shifts. All dh relatives live 700 miles away, so no other choice

Wow that must be really hard for you. I never knew that was the case where you lived! It's amazing how things differ in different parts of the world x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I think we have it so easy here.

OH wants to still get the Orb so it looks like I'll just have to go ahead with it. I told him I will be the one pushing it most of the time but I only started to dislike it because of the fact there were so many bad reviews but he said you'll get that on any pram

How's everyone doing today? I feel so much better after a proper sleep, minus the pee stops

Jays in nursery today and I'm really not looking forward to taking him because I know what's going to happen. It's a shame because in the mornings he used to be so happy to go x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ub we are having the same problem this morning, Madeleine is adamant she doesn't want to go to nursery, she keeps saying she doesn't like Vanessa, I think she's one of the staff, it's concerning me quite a bit.

I'm good this morning I went to bed at 8.30. So I've had lots of sleep, minus the pee breaks lol.

I hope j goes into nursery ok today xx
