Where is this pregnancy going lol

I went through all of baby girls clothes before and oh my god, I seriously have TOO many baby grows and vests! No word of a lie I must have near 80 vests it's ridiculous. I'm going to go through the ones I like the best and sell the rest, they are all newborn and 0-3 so she certainly won't wear them all.

Jayden is looking through the Argos catalouge telling me which cars he wants

Best scoot and go make dinner, home made macaroni cheese with a HUGE amount of cheese on top x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Mmmmm ab that sounds amazing!

 

[Carlyp1990]

Oooh UB im after 0-3 vests and 0-3 & newborn sleepsuits I think so pm me some pics and prices of you want and I may buy some... iv just bought a bundle off eBay but not sure on sizes.
We had a full English for dinner at 1:30ish so ill probably just make katie some tea and some for oh to warm up after work.
Katies supposed to be staying at ohs parents tomorrow night for the first time ever but we found out today that his nephew (7) is staying there all week so we're unsure of were katie will be sleeping. Iv asked him to phone his mum and find out because if she's going to be sharing a bed with his nephew or his mum then I'd rather she just slept another day and she's said that katie will be in a bed on her own and his nephew will share with ohs dad and she will sleep on the sofa. I feel really bad now that his mum's Gunna be sleeping on the sofa just because she's excited to have katie stay over! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ub I just called you ab sorry! X

Carly I see what you mean with that situation, that's nice that she's excited to have Katie stay over though, bless her.

I've just been on the phone to the midwife, I wanted to ask her if they have things in place for people with no child care and basically they don't so we are having to ask OHs mum to be on standby when I go into labour, I really don't want to labour and birth without OH x

 

[Carlyp1990]

She's always so excited to see her but she's never had anywhere suitable for her to sleep before so it's never been an option but she recently got a single bed for the spare bedroom so it's possible now. I'm abit nervous about it though because they spoil her and she gets away with murder when she's there!
It would be good for local children's centres to have standby babysitters for situations like yours mummy. I'm sure ohs mum won't mind though, and it means she gets to be told straight away when you go into labour
I'm still unsure who's watching katie lol, it will probably depend on the day/time as to who is available but we will.probs have to give ohs mum a key to the house so she can let the dog out of were gone for a while xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I know but I'd feel so nervous with a stranger lookin after Madeleine. She said she doesn't mind she would love too, but Madeleine doesn't know her overly well, well she does but not like a granny figure if that makes sense lol. We made sure she would be ok to come at 3am in the morning for example and she said it was ok so looks like that's sorted out now.

Xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Well that's good then, could she maybe have M for an hour while you and oh go shopping one day or something? So they get to know each other? Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

That's a great idea Carly! I will mention it to OH now

We go visit his mum every couple of weeks but I think it'd be good for them to spend time together without us there. Great idea thank you xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

I hope it works mummy xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm sure it will OHs mum is brilliant with her so I feel quite confident, and she's more than willing to come to us, I don't want to be worrying about having to get Madeleine all the way to his mums while I'm in labour lol xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

At least you have a plan in action now... maybe I should at least discuss it with oh xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Yep you should Carly lol, I put it off for too long but it's crept up on me, 9 weeks away from labour! How did that happen?! Xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Tell me about it! A guy asked me today how long I had left n I shocked myself a little bit when I said 9 weeks I think once katies birthday is out of the way and I actually start gettin things organised for baby and Christmas it will fly by! (Hopefully ) Xx

 

[ab75]

Aawww, bless Jayden looking thru argos catalogue lol. These 2 had a Smyths catalogue but they wrecked it.

Glad you have a plan in place mummy. Carly is right, you should let oh's mum have M for a couple of hours soon to let M get used to her. Bet she'll have a great time.

Thats good that you are getting a night to yourselves Carly.

The girls are going to stay at my mums again on 15th nov. I am looking forward to it this time as I know that they were fine last time.

Getting really sore kicks and punches tonight again. I dropped a tray of sausages that I was taking out of the oven earlier as I got a painful kick. Think he's trying to escape xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Yeah we are going to do that ladies thank you and plus it will be good for me and oh to have some time together for a bit.

Oh gosh ab, I can't believe he made you drop the sausages little monkey!

I keep getting period type pains tonight, and his movements are ALL so low down it's so strange x

 

[Carlyp1990]

Tbh it's a little strange ab... we have every night to ourselves as once katies in bed at 7 we don't hear from her until the next morning so it's strange that we can go out! I think we're just going out for some food and maybe to the cinema, it will probably be our last night out until I feel comfortable leaving the baby... which if i'm as bad as I was with katie it will be a loong time!

I can't believe you dropped a full tray of sausages because of Frazer's kicked! Little monkey! Xx

 

[ab75]

We're the same. Once girls are bedded we usually don't see them again until morning. That last time they stayed at my mums was the first time they'd stayed over anywhere and I didn't really see the point but we are going to go out for dinner again and maybe go to the cinema too. Like you said it will be our last night out b4 Frazer comes. It doesn't bother me not going out as I like knowing that the girls are ok but it was good for them to stay at their grans. They loved it.

I can't believe I dropped the sausages either. Luckily they were extra's in case the girls didn't like what we were having for dinner. We had one of those things where you throw everything in the bag and chuck it in the oven, never used it b4. It was fab. Sausage and herb casserole xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Mummy are they braxton hicks? I keep having that too and was going to post a thread asking what braxton hicks felt like.

We're the same ab, proper home birds we rarely drink n would much rather have a night in or family day out than a night out somewhere. I usually just get my.friends round to mine for Chinese and wine night if I fancy a drink

 

[Mummy to be x]

I don't know, I don't know what Braxton hicks feel like (I know that's stupid lol)

 

[Carlyp1990]

I don't either im just guessing!
