Whoop, brand new shiny thread!

Oh ivana I hope you feel better soon, I should think the antibiotics will kick in quite quickly, hopefully you will be able to have a good sleep tonight

I've just added a message on the last to thread introducing myself and then realised you all moved to hear... never mind, my name is Emily I'm 14w4d due 28 dec and over the moon! I have a stepson and stepdaughter dd5 ds11. I lost a baby
near Xmas and had an erpc on the 23 dec. I was so nervous all the way up untill my 12 weeks scan but was so happy to see a lovely little baby on the screen
I shall be looking to all you ladies for tips on what a first-time mum should buy as I haven't a clue!

Ps, COD I've had a day just like you but it's reassuring to hear this is normal

Hi folks, been reading to keep up ( just) but never get chance to post!
Please can someone add me to Scotland list - am in Ayrshire!- thanks.

Brooke- weird dreams happen to me too. Isn't it peculiar when you wake after a really vivid one and it takes a while to register what's going on! I think it's quite common.

Sorry to hear about those having work probs. been quiet my end because although I'm glad to have job and usually quite enjoy it I had to go to union about my boss- complete bully. Anyway school holidays now!!

Been feeling movement for while now (dc2) but was so early I wasn't convinced even though I'd felt it before!!

Just been out for huge family meal and bump is huge- I was showing really early, now blinking massive and am curled up in bed hoping to sleep soon- night All!

Hope ?ou feel better soon ivana!

Welcome Emily - in a first timer too and haven't got a clue what to buy either...planning on making a comprehensive list tomorrow and running it by you all to see if ive forgotten anything/gone OTT!

I dunno minipie having left London (I miss it sooo much ) not quite two years ago I can only assume that Christmas babies are perhaps not in vogue or London is working towards becoming a baby free zone?

I'm kidding!!!

And thanks Cakebump for updating my foreigner status on the stats list :o thought that was really sweet of you!

Blimey I pause for breath and have a bizillion posts to catch up on. I've been feeling a bit weak and funny today...drank plenty and vegged relaxed on the sofa, went with the eat little and often approach but still not quite right... But I am hungry... what else do I have in the kitchen

ooohhh Bella that's very organised of you :o I'm looking forward to your list. Gosh I have no idea still... I think some of it makes sense but arghhh I'm still busy being terrified I think

So far I have maternity pads, a few bibs, a suction thing for the nose (gets snot out) cotton wool, room/bath thermometer, cardie, hat, boots and gloves.....i'm all set lol

Yay, that's at least one in each area and hopefully more to sign in! Hopefully we can get some RL meets out of it :o

I'm not organised honest - just freaked out as I was chatting with someone at work and didn't realised half the stuff needed!!! Oh even what they're for...only learnt about the snot thing today ewwwww!!! See a lot to learn hence the decision to get organised!

Don't worry about the snot thing, you can just suck it out if they get a blocked nose that bad

Gross trying not to gag...OMG I'm 32 and have to start taking care of a little baby....argh I honestly don't think it's sunk in yet!!! AND BREATHE!!!

Still laughing have a vision of me actually trying to suck it out as u really do t have a clue !

DH said the same about the snot but I would end up gagging.....sick I can deal with bit not snot

Bloody predictive text - as I don't have a clue!

as ever i can't be sure whether gloucestershire's south west or midlands - Barbeasty - found out today there's an NCT nearly new sale at gloucester on saturday morning just in case you're interested/nearby.

Can someone add me to the list under south west, Devon

ha ha ha ha at all the face-sucking mothers sucking the snot from the nose of their newborn.... but then I have no idea if perhaps people are being serious

I'm off to search the streets for forgotten bags full of cash/ buy a lottery ticket to help pay for:
1 the nanny I obviously need
2 oh yeah all the baby stuff
3 a cleaner (well come on, why not?)
4 family therapy!
5 a 5kg jar of Nutella (check my pics, they exist... was soooo tempted to buy one!)

oh and I almost forgot:
6 a Gin subscription a very large bottle of Gin and an appropriate amount of (slimline) Tonic and limes
