Started TTC in August 2010, 1 has popped, 3 nearly there and 2 over halfway!

[KLou111]

Thought I'd put one has popped since we've not heard and we need a new forum!!
Feel free anyone to join us for a chat :)

yey glad its nearly done, i cant believe how much you get done in such a short space of time! our toilet seat is loose and has been for about 3 weeks, will he do it???? will he fuck. i put it on but i cant adjust it right!

That sounds fine to me liz if i were bottle feeding thats how i would do it! Is the floor the last diy thing to be done in your house then klou?

I don't have a clue about bottles either Liz. Hoping to breast feed if I can. Lol at the toilet seat! My dad is exactly the same. Although sometimes he just starts jobs and doesn't finish them

klou you need to put your feet up a bit and get DP to wait on you. Send him out to buy you lunch etc lol.

melly how's the feeding and sleeping going? Is Poppy letting you have enough sleep?

Off to bed for me in a couple of minutes. Let's see if I can wake up less than 5 times. Would love to sleep right through!

Hi all. Still no news here. [Drums fingers]

Liz this is the current advice on bottle feeding. I think the main thing is to make up the formula with very hot water to kill any bugs in the powder and then cool to drinking temperature for the baby. Total PITA. I only used occasional formula for DS when he got bigger and got so bugged by the faffing about I ended up using ready made cartons when I had to. Some mums I know locally used to use hot water to make up the bottles and had a stash of boiled, but then cooled water in the fridge. They'd make up the bottle with half the amount of boiling water to kill the bugs and then topped up with the cooled, boiled water which meant the bottle was ready to use more quickly, IYSWIM? TBH I'm hoping the BFing works for us again as I am essentially quite lazy and the sterilising thing is such an arse... Anything to avoid washing up

No time for Dh to go out and buy me lunch at the mo lol. We live 7 miles from anywhere shop wise and want this house done!

Last stretch now tho. Finish floor then finish grout in bathroom, then we've got a friend coming next weekend to do finishing off like skirting etc and done! Our bedroom needs doing but can wait.

I've got some MAM bottles Liz for when I can express and they look easy as are self sterilising so may be worth looking at?

Hiya all... Had a 'show' this morning and was crampy last night. Wish me luck, folks...

Ooh thats how i went gruffalo! I had a show about 4.30 in the morning and waters broke at 5.43!

Good luck!!

Have we got a baby gruff too?? Im dying to know!

How long for you klou??

CONGRATULATIONS LIZ !!!! So pleased for you. Hope it wasn't too much of a shock! Hope your recovery is going okay.

No baby gruff yet - have had on-off minor contractions, but really the kind you can walk off. Waters haven't gone yet either but I am sitting on a waterproof sheet just in case Have just been to the doctor's for a blood pressure check. Silly nurse misread it as high - then got her colleague in who read it right. The first one gave me a right fright... I was a bit as I'd been feeling pretty relaxed!

Iwish hope your nipples aren't too sore! D'ya think you might need new bras? With my first I went through about 3 different bra sizes even before I had the baby.

Off to have another raspberry leaf tea and to bounce on my birth ball!

Lol gruff happy bouncing. Been taking the tablets as of yesterday :) Hope yours works

37 weeks as of yesterday so am officially full term woohoo. We're ready now so she or he can come whenever they want.
Flooring finished today and looks bloody lovely! Got to do a major clean of the doors and windows where paint still lightly on them so will do tomorrow.
Just bit of grout in bathroom to do for dh and he can rest but I am giving him the weekend off :)

Mornin folks! And how is everybody today? So jealous of my mum right now, she's just texted me, she's sat on the runway in an Airbus waiting to take off to America! Jammy cows off to Seattle for 4 weeks!

Hope liz is recovering ok.

Not long left now then klou! It's just a case of waiting now isn't it? Hospital bag all packed up and handy?

Any sign of baby gruff yet? Can't be much longer left to wait now, is there?

I really need a wee but poppy is asleep on me. Don't want to move her incase she wakes up! She looks so cute and peaceful bless her.

iwish you could get some nipple sheilds and maybe some cream. The shields look like mice-size mexican hats :o

Ah bless her Melly lol to mouse hats :)

Bag has been packed and in the car since around 26 weeks lol when we went back to the Midlands to 'look after' my brother with his leg, so all sorted there. Only thing I keep packing and unpacking are the bags of sweets

What gorgeous weather today, got my shorts on :) Meant to be having a BBQ although DH just said, lets go for a curry and get that baby out ha ha! (Think we'll be having a BBQ though!)
Think that needs to wait until after next weekend as I want this house totally finished, and dog kennel for Bella coming this week (for her in the day time) so want that doing before bubs then I can have a major clean up, which I know sounds sad, but I can't wait to do!! :)

hiya all i am coming home thiseve soshall fill you aaall in on details. missing chatting to you all

am dying to tell you all the details, bloody internet thing got a mind of its own

gruff not sure if I need new bras, the ones I'm wearing still seem to fit ok, dont feel too tight etc. Hope the tea and ball have helped to get labour started. Bet u just can't wait to see baby gruff now.

melly lol at Mexican hats for mice!! Bet u didn't want to move her bless. Hope you eventually did tho otherwise you may have a very wet chair hehe.

Shorts klou wow it must be nice in your neck of the woods. I'm
Pushing it in a pair of 3/4 pants (they ate one of the only things that still fit lol.

Oooh Liz can't wait to hear the details! Will checking on here for when you get back.

Beautiful here iwish around mid 20s I'd say. Just topping up the tan :)

Liz can't wait to hear from you properly and see some pix. Told Dh that you thought about calling your little one Crystal and he really liked it, especially as you don't hear it a lot. I just hope I haven't put yet another girls name in his head ha ha!
Safe trip home x
