[Mummy to be x]

Mmmm cherry and vanilla sounds amazing! I didn't know asda did Yankees! OH bought me the snowflake cookie one and I can't even bloody smell it I'm a bit disappointed x

UB I agree with the others, don't move away from your family and the people who support you! I've never been without my family but I'd hate to feel like I was being made to choose, if that's the kind of person he is that would make you chooses between your family and him then I I would choose family every time!
From what you've told us about him it's probably best you save up for Jaydens present yourself anyway, just incase he doesn't have the money come Christmas time.
I tried net mums too but the people local to me just didn't seem to "click" I just didn't feel like they could be longterm friends if that makes sense.

One of my best friends found out she's expecting a little girl yesterday! She's so excited!

What's everyone's plans for today? I'm meeting up with an old work friend and we're going for a brew and a catch up xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Congratulations to your friend

Today we are heading down to spend the weekend with my mum, Madeleine is sleeping at my mums for the two nights and we've booked ourself a hotel, should be nice to spend some time together on the evenings while Madeleine spends time with her granny it takes 4 hours to get there though and I'm dreading the journey I will be so uncomfortable so I'm taking my pregnancy pillow x

Enjoy your catch up and brew Carly

 

[Carlyp1990]

That sound lovely mummy! Madeleine will love spending time with her granny and getting spoilt im sure
We did an almost 4 hour journey when I was 32 weeks pregnant with katie and it wasn't that bad tbh, oh thought I was going to be a nightmare but we only had one stop off on the way and I was relatively comfortable. Fingers crossed you won't be too uncomfortable though mummy xxx

Have a safe trip and a nice weekend mummy xx

I love yankee candles. Don't have any just now tho as there is nowhere to put them in this house. I like vanilla candles, used to have loads, and those cookie melts from partylite. Dh hates the smell of them lol.

We are not up to anything this weekend, skintish until next week, spent too much last weekend lol and all the bills come out this week.
My mum and sis are coming up tomorrow to see the girls for a couple of hours but thats about it.

UB, at least if you are saving for J's Christmas you will know that the stuff will get bought. So much for oh working away to benefit you all xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Thank you ladies! It's a shame me and OH won't be able to go out partying with the one chance we get a baby sitter huh? haha!

I can't believe I will be 29 weeks tomorrow, nearly 30 weeks!! Is it just me or is there something about reaching week 30 that makes it feel like your at the end nearly lol x

 

[Carlyp1990]

I agree mummy, 30 weeks is like the home stretch

I'm skint too ab, still going for dinner with my friends tomorrow though... its only money

What's everybody's one thing they can't get enough of at the minute? Mines nutella on toast... im eating about 6 slices a day at the minute xx

 

[ab75]

Marmalade on toast xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

Marmite on toast and mcdonalds! Oh I've had about 3 mcdonalds this week I will regret it when I've all the weight to lose

 

[ab75]

I always think time goes quickly after 30 weeks too.
I must remember to get a mattress for the moses basket xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Good morning ladies .

 

[Mummy to be x]

I need to do that too ab. We got the Moses basket that was on display as it was the last one and we really liked it and we took the mattress in there too but it's too small for the basket so need to get a new one

Morning kiwi! How's baby Riya doing? Xx

 

[ab75]

I'll get one next weekend!

Hi kiwi. Hope you and Riya are good today xx

 

[Kiwiberry]

Riya is doing great as of last night! I am going to go in to see her sometime today once I get a good supply of milk for her.

Do you ladies know how you would "reheat" breastmilk? I want to know for the future once she is released to me. I plan on freezing it right after its pumped, I just have no idea what to do with it from there when it comes time to feed her. I will breast feed as well, but that much I already know lol.

 

[ab75]

I never froze it so I can't help sorry. I just fed or expressed to bottle for dh to feed. Google? Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

My sister froze her breast milk I think she used hot kettle water and put the bottle in a jug of boiling water from the kettle till it heated up the milk. Some people microwave it but not sure if they reccomend that x

 

[Kiwiberry]

Thanks AB and Mummy. I will for sure google it, I just wanted to see if any of you pro-mommies had any better tips for me.

Have any of you ever used a bottle warmer?

 

[Mummy to be x]

No I never did use a bottle warmer with Madeleine kiwi but I so wish I did! I'm getting one this time much easier. X

 

[ab75]

No sorry. I always breastfed then when they went onto cows milk I heated it in the microwave( I know you are not meant to but I made sure the bottle got a good shake, bad mummy here)!!!! Xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Morning Kiwi, glad you're both doing well!

With the breast milk I used to put the bottle in a bowl of hot water

OH is coming down tonight so I have deleted the bank apps from my phone, hidden my secure key and given my Nan the money I had left. Simply because he doesn't know I borrowed money to get the warrant off my back.. If he finds out then there's not a lot I can say but we'll see.

You'll have to let me know about the journey Mummy as I have to have a 3 hour drive next week

I got Jaydens cousin a big Minnie mouse teddy, it was 15 pounds down from 30 which is a bargain. Jayden thought it was his bless him and Nan said to go get him Mickey but I can't do that, he has to understand it's a birthday present

Hopefully we're still going swimming tomorrow, we'll see if OH bring enough money down!

Oh yes I got a text today from DWP saying I have 14 working days to wait until they make a decision about my claim.. now I'm worrying I'll get declined and I'm screwed! x
