Another one here absolutely delighted to be having an Xmas baby.
Can't wait to see the little one all snuggled up in a lovely warm snow suit

expatinscotland · 19/09/2005 16:23

A perfect holiday pressie - a newborn! Can't wait to dress it up in a Santa babygro and show it off all wrapped up in its buggy.

It took a while to conceive this baby, so we honestly don't care about it arriving around Xmas.

ei23mummy · 19/09/2005 16:26

woohoo!!
i got a lovely snow suit the other day all fleecy with a little pair of ears on the hood!! is sooo cute!! and it was only £6!! almost the same as the one in adams for £18!!! oooooh what a bargain!!

Great name for a fantastic xmas thread!!!!!! Don't you just love having the last word!!!!! They're all just jealous that we are all getting an extra bonus christmas pressie. We'll all think of them whilst their unwrapping their xmas sox and slippers............or NOT!!

(that thread didn't make me angry at all, does it show)

flutterbee · 19/09/2005 16:28

Yay to Xmas babies, really really want it here before the 25th so that it will be the most memorable Xmas ever.

Plus don't you think that its great that you can tell other people to the day how long it is till Xmas, ooohhhh they just love it.

sweetheart · 19/09/2005 16:33

YEAH to xmas babies!!!!

Just think of us all snuggled up on the sofa come boxing day to watch a film, stuff ourselves stupid and then indulge in a family snooze!!!

Ohh I've gone all warm and gooey thinking about it

ei23mummy · 19/09/2005 16:34

my dp has told me to stop telling him how long wev got left cos he always seems a bit panicked for a while afterwards!! thats the point tho i think!![evil emoticon}!! i think its the thought of less cash and all those dirty nappies etc that gets to him!! i myself cant wait for a change in activities!!! oh yeah and the baby of course!!

Kangel, what thread have I missed about Xmas babies and how would I find it I fancy a good read

kangel · 19/09/2005 16:43

Flutterbee - Its under Pregnancy and its called 'Is it the worst thing to have an xmas baby'.

Not to be read though if you are in an emotional or bad mood - or have a tendency to want to punch someone! Although I did feel like banging their heads together, they shouldn't even be thinking of having a baby if they think like that. Look at me going off on one again

ei23mummy · 19/09/2005 16:45

flutter, the xmas baby thread is on the pregnancy thread list (again i dont know how to link it so ya may have to search!!sorry)
it is a quite good read as long as you dont get tipped into angry pg lady mode easily btw i do so have posted once or twice on there!! but other than that its worth a look!!

sweetheart · 19/09/2005 16:50

it's here

SH runs for cover!!!!!!

kangel · 19/09/2005 16:51

SH - EI......I just had a quick read through again and I could still swip for that swiperfox! SDD and this baby are going to have a joint 'unbirthday' birthday in the middle of the year - if anything they will be more spoilt for being born around xmas.

Someone stop me.......I'm going off on one again

flutterbee · 19/09/2005 16:52

Thank-you ladies, I am settling in for a read expect me back in a while fuming, good thing is DH is on lates tonight so by the time he gets back I ashould have calmed enough not to take any anger out on him.

Well lets see what the stupid people have to say.

kangel · 19/09/2005 16:52

SH - No need to run!! We are all in this together remember, we are not the ones with the problem...............We're the ones with special bundles!!!

.....And on that note I am off home, will check in tomorrow.

ei23mummy · 19/09/2005 16:53

sh is that a link to the xmas baby thread?? my computer wont let me look!! i had a little gander at the last time anyone posted on it earlier on and it was last week sometime so i think all the negative girls lost interest(or were scared to post anythin more as we were rather like a united front for xmas babies!!)

Wow,you lot certainly could chat for england...lol..Welcome flutterbee...

sweetheart · 19/09/2005 17:03

kangel - breath!!

ei - yes it is a link to that thread!!

flutterbee · 19/09/2005 17:22

OK I have read the link and all I can say is that the ppl who are against have no idea what they are missing out on, I couldn't resist popping my comments on there. I actually had a little cry at one thing that was said about how special it is when everyone is singing about a special boy being born I just suddenly thought that's my little boy little tiny George. Oh hormones are wonderful.
Bloody summer babies over rated if you ask me.

Enid · 19/09/2005 17:33

I have one (Dec 20th, 6 years ago) and it is lovely lovely lovely.

Wait until you bring the baby home and put it in its car seat on the floor surrounded by Christmas decorations. I remember sobbing uncontrollably watching Carols from Kings and just thinking how perfect everything was

flutterbee · 19/09/2005 17:37

Oh my God I can't stop crying, thinking about how magical it's going to be, I love carols from Kings too. It amazes me when I think how lucky DH and I are. I think I need chocolate.

ei23mummy · 19/09/2005 17:59
