We made the trimesters pass quickly!

[ab75]

Its been on for a couple of weeks now, not got much to be honest. Tesco and sainsburys have just started too xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

I think aldi starts soon too
It feels so strange though because we have hardly anything left to buy now :-/ and we're trying to spend any spare money on katies birthday and Christmas presents as we go so it's not too much pressure closer to the time. Asda have 25% of certain craft sets which includes some playdoh so I may order a set today xx

 

[ab75]

I'm the same Carly. I need a moses basket mattress, new raincover for pram and a caboodle and thats it xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

We've not got everything yet, I need all sorts of bits and bobs really, OH started looking for Xmas presents last night he said we should start now because by Xmas we are going to be too busy making sure everything is ready for labour/new baby xx

 

[ab75]

Yay for Christmas shopping. We are going to go first weekend in oct and finish ours xx

 

[ab75]

I still need nappies and clothes for baby, I just meant I have all my big items xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Yep we need nappies and wipes too, with Madeleine I stocked up on loads if nappies and wipes and I'm so glad I did!

What are you ladies using for baby when they sleep on a night? With Madeleine I used those gro bags/sleeping bags so I think I will do the same thing this time xx

 

[ab75]

When mine were in moses basket I swaddled them in a shawl then put a little cover on top, when they moved to cot I used gro bags, if it was warm they just had a babygro on in it, but when it was cold they would have cozy onesies and then gro bag xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I never tried swaddling with Madeleine, is that where you wrap them in a blanket nice and snug? Xx

 

[ab75]

When I was pregnant with Zoe there was a woman that lived round the corner that did bounty packs for hospital. I got about 40 packets of pampers and a huge box full of wipes, nappy cream, little bottles of top to toe and about 20 of those persil hooded towels, lol, it was fab. My nephew was born the day after Zoe so I gave half of it to my sil. Got another load of nappies when Zara was born too. I'll need to buy my own this time lol. Think I'm going to try tesco newborn nappies. There nappies and nappy pants are good on Zara. Pampers nappies just leak breast milk poo everywhere so I figured tesco can't be any worse!! Xx

 

[ab75]

Yes, Zara didn't really like being swaddled tho, still doesn't like having covers on her lol xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Lol, bless her xx

 

[ab75]

Bless her, lol, she is a horror. So strong minded and stubborn. She is standing on my dining room table throwing fake apples across the room shouting there you go mummy every time she throws one. She does not listen to a word I say. Her and Zoe are like complete opposites, lol, little shit xx

 

[Carlyp1990]

We did the same ab, swaddled in moses basket then grobags in cot
We're planning on using reusable from as soon as they fit so won't need to buy many newborn nappies hopefully but I think we're going to try aldi nappies as they are supposed to be fab! We need to buy clothes and bath stuff but that's about it and don't want to buy too much because people always buy those things so may just get a few vests and Sleepsuits to last the first week or so then go and get what's needed afterwards. My best friend has been shopping as well and said she's getting a little collection of things for us. With katie we had so much that hardly any of it got used or it only got used once so we don't want to go overboard this time xxx

 

[Carlyp1990]

Bless her, lol, she is a horror. So strong minded and stubborn. She is standing on my dining room table throwing fake apples across the room shouting there you go mummy every time she throws one. She does not listen to a word I say. Her and Zoe are like complete opposites, lol, little shit xx

Hahaha sorry but this made me laugh so much!!

 

[ab75]

Yeah, she makes me laugh too so makes it hard to give her a row. This morning she put her duvet, pillow and teddies on the floor, when I asked why she had done that, she just said, emmm me don't do nothing. Don't worry mummy it just accident!
I tried aldi nappies last month on Zara but she was constantly wetting thru them. Lidl nappies are ok. I used bambino mio reusables with Zoe.
Not planning on buying much here either, like you said, everybody buys clothes, I don't know what size he will be and can always pop to the shops when he is a couple of days old and buy things. The girls had loads of stuff that was either on once or not at all xx

Afternoon :wave:

Finally had time to get online. Dropped J off at his first proper day at nursery this morning and balled my eyes out when I got home. He looked a little confused that I was leaving him there. I had a sloppy kiss and 2 huge hugs. When I went to pick him up he was crying for mummy apparently he'd just started to cry so I feel a little better it wasn't for ages. He was sooo happy to see me.

OH is here tonight, been shopping but hand to lend mother some money keeping the gas and electric nicely topped up too got baby girl some pink muslins and tights today from Asda, they're soooo cute!

Did you see on the news about the Manchester dogs home? how dreadful! As soon as I read it I grabbed the bank card and donated some money to their just giving. It's been going out crazily since this morning! x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Lol ab she sounds like Madeline, Madeline is a little monkey with me I feel like I'm talking to a brick wall half the time

Carly that's so kind of your best friend bless her.

Oh UB I heard about the dogs home it's just terrible. Who could do such a cruel thing?!

What's everyone upto today? I'm having a chill day and getting the washing done, OH came in from work this morning after a night shift and was refusing to go to bed as he wanted to spend time with me and Madeleine, he's fallen asleep on the bloody floor! I've tried waking him up to tell him to go get into bed but he just says he's not tired and falls back asleep

 

[ab75]

Aaawww poor J!
I was reading online earlier about the dog home, thats totally sick that somebody could do that knowing those poor dogs were inside.
Bet you're looking forward to OH coming back ub. Is J all excited?
Lol at your OH mummy. He'd be better in bed for a few hours. Does he travel far when he is working? Just wondering for when your in labour, lol!

I've got a little drop ironing to do then going to do some housework. My sis and nephew are coming up tomorrow, so we are going swimming, Burger King and then ten pin bowling. The girls saw it on tv the other day and want to go, lol, should be fun!! And then they have a birthday party at a soft play on Sunday, so busy weekend! Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Ooh Madeleine loves bowling, little kids look so sweet in those shoes they have to wear.

Luckily OH doesn't do long distance anymore so the furthest he travels in around 3 hours away, I've attempted to wake him up numerous time now, I give up. If he wants to sleep on the floor then so be it
