[WeeJo08]

Hi everyone!

WeeJo

Just marking my place :)

Checking in otherwise I get lost!

Weejo thanks for the new thread :) i really likr wraps/ring slings/mai tai's wgeb worn properly do not cause discomfort to the wearer and also hold baby in a much better position than 'structured carriers' i have pics on my profile if you'd like to see:)

Congrats on anniversary bubbless

Me & fairy checking in!

the nearest mamas and papas factory store is stoke on trent.. 2 and a half hours from me?! eurgh.

im addicted to prawn cocktail walkers..

hello :)

i would be addicted to pickled onion monster munch if you could buy them here

Congratulations littlemiss and bubbless!

Dh has physio at 12 and dd has nursery at 1, I've got a horrible cold and dh has decided he will take her to physio with him and then drop her at nursery so I can rest in bed . I feel very lucky right now, hmmm shall I watch this morning or passport patrol? I feel no guilt as there are only 20 weeks left in which my life will be this easy.

Hooray! New thread!
I've had to loop a hair band round my jeans button today! Bump making its self know seen some nice maternity jeans on jojo maman bebe web sight and not too expensive!

im just starting to realise im a crazy women... ive offered to volunteer at a childrens activity week in bucks called Lighthouse. ive done it every year for 9 years.. but its bloody hard work..

can everyone take a second to look at the monsoon outside their windows..

Lighthouse is held in a school field in a load of marquees.. there will be 1500 children and a tonne of helpers...

my day will be 8am- 10.30pm... at 17 weeks pregnant... ohdear

I missed your news in the change over bubbles! congratulations :)

Id go for passpart patrol strawberry. im having a very lazy summer as all the kids i teach are on holiday (sweden shuts down for all of july and most of august.)

im wondering if there is any useful baby related things to do... am i supposed to wash the baby clothes even if they are bought new?

Littlemiss LOL! I was literally just walking back to my desk to post "I think I'm going to go out and buy a packet of Pickled Onion Monster Munch" It was Bubbless who put the idea into my head with her Walkers post! Also, Littlemiss CONGRATULATIONS! That is such lovely news - enjoy this super special time How did he propose? Was it lovely? Did you cry?

bubbles you are a brave lady! im keeping my fingers crossed for sun for you :)

CONGRATULATIONS littlemiss!!!

i didn't cry he cried and im not great at cute subtle crying it all or nothing with me! we went to a mongolian bbq restaurant where we had our 1st date and he said just said how he was proud i had learnt swedish and how he loved me so much and how he was so happy we were having a baby and would i be his wife? he said it in swedish and i said "jag vill" which means i want which is compleatly wrong but he got the idea.. we were supposed to go out in his families boat that evening, the lake that we live on has lots of little islands but it was raining so we went to the city instead.. would have been more romantic on a boat but oh well, it's normal here that a couple just sits down and discusses it and decideds to get married they don't really do proposals so i was proud of him for trying :)

weejo i have monster munch envy!!

Pidj I can second how awful maternity wear was in the past. We're going to the Goodwood revival again this year, and trying to find 1940s maternity wear (or even up to the 60s) has been too difficult. I've ended up going for a dress which looks vaguley like something a non-pregnant woman might have worn at a non specific point in the past.

Stacey hope the GP trip goes well and they manage to sort his ear out.

I have come away from the GP this morning with antibiotics, an inhaler and a peak flow meter for suspected asthma. I had pneumonia nearly a year ago and have had a cough ever since. Finally got round to going back to the Dr and have all this- I'm glad we get free prescriptions! (The pneumonia started about a month after my certificate from DD expired and cost me a fortune in antibiotics and inhalers.)

With movement it's still fairly intermittent and mostly when I'm on my back. Last time I think it was around 25 weeks when I suddenly stopped feeling movement, so went in to be checked and DD kicked the monitor and I still didn't feel it. Position of the baby, the placenta and where the baby is aiming can really change what and how much you feel. But if you're worried, contact your midwife. They'd rather check you and find it's all ok than miss a problem.

Also grateful for suggestions of things around Peppa Pig world. We're staying for a few days with my SIL in Bournemouth at the end of the month, and might look at something to do on the way home.

I will wash all of the new baby clothes in fairy non bio until I know what sort of skin they have. I will stick with non bio if they are sensitive but go to normal bio if they have 'normal' skin

at engagements and rings

thanks spottyteacakes, really i just want an excuse to get the cute clothes out and imagine a little baby in them! must remeber baby isn't a doll...

Congrats to you littlemiss and at the lovely ring bubbless

Well doc wasn't impressed that ds's ears hadn't been swabbed so he's done that and sent it off, we've got antibiotic ear drops for now and he'll ring on Friday and let us know if he needs anymore oral antibiotics!

I really want cake but have no ingredients :( although do have left over roast dinner for lunch

i have a stuffed reindeer who i love soso much hangs around in near my bed.. he has worn many new baby clothes.. dp looks on like im a crazy lady!!
littlemiss they ARE dolls clothes until DC arrives!
the proposal sounds very romantic for the both of you!!

sorry weejo, i cant help that my baby wants crisps!!

It's okay Bubbless I actually went out and got some (in the pouring rain, I might add) such was my NEED to have Monster Munch. I actually got 2 packets which I know I will eat one of which I can post to you Littlemiss - I was planning on marking it:

I'll send you a box of monster munch if you send the sun here please.

On lunch break so just checking me and bump onto the new thread and will catch up properly later

Has anyone tried ASOS for maternity clothes, I can't afford to keep looking as I have lots from friends but had a quick flick.
