December 2012 christmas puddings

[PrunellaDeVille]

over here, that came around suddenly

pidj I love the sound of the teddy!

SIL found the dn's old playmat, so that's getting passed along. She's got a great pic of them squashed under it together - they're 7 and 5!

Lord only knows what state the bear will be in after 30 years in a loft

silly question- what size nappies does a newborn need?! will we need two sizes like we do with babygrows? :/

eggs- i got an advent bottle in the post yesterday as well, i was very confused! aha

spotty- thats always horrible, even worse when you dont actually like it yourself! what was it?!

nutella i love a good freebie! trouble is, there are SO many groups here that you can join ive forgotten what im already a member of!

friend im not sure if im feeling kicks yet either, dont worry :( when are you due?!

I'm due 16 December.

been feeling baby's movements for a while but none that anyone else would have felt iykwim. Just had a couple of strong kicks and surely one that you could have seen on my belly. First time DP has been able to feel kicks and just the two of us sitting here with hands on my belly made me burst into tears... Sooo happy right now

Getting ready for our holiday tomorrow, hoovered and dusted through out, DH has cleaned the car, all that's left is clean the kitchen and pack (must not forget to pack!!!). Having a brief sit down to sort the sat nav out (It currently has USA and Canada maps on, not much use in Cornwall!)

My Parents seem to permanently think they are too young to be grandparents and have got rid of all the stuff from when I was a baby, was really hoping for some old fashion recycling!

I've spent the past hour researching baby monitors. We thought we'd decided on the BT 250 ages ago but now I'm having doubts. It's now between that, the BT digital and the angelcare with the sensor pad. Can anyone offer any advice on this one? (gonna hop over to the review thread in a min too...)

Hope all having good Sundays. :)

I had the advent bottle arrive too!

Honey I've just been to tesco and used my club card vouchers to exchange them for baby & toddler ones which gives me double the value...I'm now the proud owner of the angel care sensor monitor. It's on special for £75 so used vouchers and I suppose u could say I paid half price? My research found this was a good one in tests but I think they're are quite a few doing similar out there now...

thanks Bella

hmm, wish someone would send me something nice and free in the post. :)

Which club do you have to join to get a free avent bottle? Dsil gave me her avent pump which has neatly made that decision for me, but i now need some bottles!

Bubbless it was cous cous with med veg, feta and mint. I thought it was yummy it was just dp and dd who didn't! Dp's a bit of a 'me man. Me eat meat'

I bought the AngelCare monitor at tesco last week as well! A friend of mine has it and it's amazing. I have steered away from the video one, the screen is too small to be significant and would make me extra anxious as I wouldn't be able to see properly!

Dont know where I got the bottle from, I know I joined Emma's Diary, might be through them.

Just had a look in the toy box, got so many lovely baby toys I'd forgotten about

spotty that Cous Cous sounds lovely. We would have appreciated it! :)

Lovely day bramble picking, now to make the crumble topping

The pram we're getting starts with a carrycot- what kind of covers blankets should inusenin it or is the cover that will come on it be enough? I don't need a footmuff until we move onto the seat unit, right?

I would just get any nice blanket, dd had a cellular one but for ds (hehe ) I've got a lovely pram blanket from John Lewis

I'm happy to take commissions skint as a skint thing if folk want something really special (can't compete with shop prices, though, just the yarn costs more than that!)

Don't need footmuff till they're in the seat bit and I can't see past a beautifully made shawl for in the lie down bit. I'm very lucky to have a wonderful shawl my mum made for DD, used for ds too, now getting used for this lo. They are suck fine wool that they wrap supersnug, and nothing beats homemade knits for newborns, old fashionbed but gorgeous

Pidj I have the same problem with my knitting, I want to knit mine and new niece an Aran blanket, but the wool even on eBay is about £30. I'm currently using odds and ends for cardigans, knowing they will have sleep suits underneath to prevent itch!!!

Pidg are u a knitter? Such a fantastic skill wish I could do it

thanks :)just to double check (as i am stupid) in the carrycot you'd use a blanket instead of the coverlet type thing that comes with the pram?

Umm the coverlet doesn't actually touch them does it it kind of goes across the top? I would use both it's going to be pretty cold I reckon!

Hello
