I'll join you with the request for matchsticks, ice. DS woke at 4.45am today. just whinging and wining, the little shit darling. Could not convince him to go back to bed, or come to our bed for a snooze, so I had to get up and go downstairs with him (DH is ill at the mo, otherwise I would've kicked him out of bed). And I have to admit that at that time of day, my entertaining skills lie dormant, so I plonked DS in front of the TV (bad mum). To find that even CBeebies at that hour is definitely not at its best, some very strange shows (looked like old repeats to me). But hey, whatever works...
MTB I feel your pain, literally. I had some -ahem- relief at last, too, this morning. Although it had only been 3 days for me (but I'm normally a once-a-day kinda girl, so it was really uncomfortable). I'm eating vast amounts of linseeds at the moment, which really help.
Pram I used to think that I didn't need/want a smartphone, but then I got an iPhone for my birthday, and I love it. In the end, you choose how much and what you use it for. But when I had to go into hospital unexpectedly last year, it saved me from going absolutely mental. Little window to the world and all that.
A gadget that I really can't recommend enough when having a small baby is an eReader. My lovely and very generous SIL gave me one when DS was born (I loved her for that, it was the only present for me, not for the baby - she did get something for DS, too, just to clarify
), and it is brilliant for when you spend hours glued to the sofa feeding, or the night sessions. And so easy to take with you anywhere you go.
Thinking of all of you having a scan today, wishing you nerves of steel and strong heartbeats!
