Martians 2014 Thread 14: on intra-uterine discos and knocking stuff over with your bump.

[SuperMuddle]

Come join us on our shiny new thread!

Sounds like a great Christmas yogi :)

What do you have planned for new years?

Right peeps let's try get this thread moving. Tell us what was best and worst present received this year?

yogi hope u made it back ok from your drive.

The best pressy has to be voucher from mil for my hair salon worst prob a diary as I had already received one!! No real clangers this year surprisingly!

Hi everyone, I've not posted for ages. Hope u have all had a fab Xmas x x

Diz is one of them a page-a-day type thingy? One of my friends has kept a diary to her kids since she was pregnant with her first (5 years ago now) and she said its lovely looking back now, and she is going to give them to the kids when they are expecting their first babies. Some pages are incredibly dull, but a lot of it is funny things they have said, places they've visited etc. I'm debating doing one, but obviously DS won't have first 3 years

I didn't have any bad prezzies this year - got an electric toothbrush which is fab, charm for my bracelet, a ton of different yankee candles, new specs, but most gifts were things I'd asked for or at least hinted about so the gift-giver was pretty sure I'd like them :)

What is everyone doing for new year? Think we are just staying in - not paying for a babysitter for DS when I can't drink and will probably be asleep before midnight anyway!

I got a sling to wear my baby until it's seven, a My Big Fat Gipsy Homebirth DVD, some home made mango chutney and a ticket to Gay Pride 2014.

Where have you newbies been for the last thirty weeks?

no the diary is a week to view one, very pretty but not quite like that. OH and i were saying that though, maybe we should keep them from now on.

My mum does and has done since about 1980 i think!

Prammertime I can't wait to see you trialling the sling with your Norwegian Forest Cat

Hi all, happy Christmas!! We have had a lovely time, quiet but good. Have spent entire day today on sofa watching rubbish. Been great!

Hey all, just popped in to say a quick hi before I waddle up to bed!!

Hope you're all enjoying Xmas and the festivities! Welcome newbies too! :D

Hi to everyone and welcome to those new to the thread! Christmas was good - a manic Christmas Day at the in laws as my DH has a big family so loads of people and noise. Then Boxing Day at my folks where there are not many people so a bit more peaceful. Back to work today though, which was a bore.

Got given loads of great baby stuff today by a friend, so we now have a cot bed and a Moses basket and can try and get the nursery sorted. Just need to get a mattress for the cot. Then back to see more family tomorrow then I am not moving again until I need to go back to work next week.
Is it just me or does Christmas seem to be over even more quickly than usual? I am contemplating taking down the tree.

me too faster I just want to clean properly now! hmm will try 2 keep it up til new years day at least!

Morning all. I. Need. Sleep!!!! Had a lovely Christmas tho. Just wish my boys would sleep later than 6am.

Welcome yogi

I've kept a rough diary since I found out I was pregnant with Ds1. Not every day but important things or cute things. Ds1 loosing his 1st tooth yesterday will be one thing.

Pamela I love home made chutney!!

Thanks for all your welcomes!

It'll be a race to the finish for us 'Imeg'

Home safely here. It was a lovely Xmas but mentioned to OH that I won't be doing anymore long journies now. It's right uncomfortable being sat in the car for that long.

Great pressies were brightly coloured change bag and baby clothes including 3 knitted cardigans. Worst was a Nina perfume and body lotion set - I don't wear perfume!

New years is going to ve a quiet one in with oh. Maybe even start painting nursery.

Best present - baby sling
Worst present - clock spanning 1 metre wide with little silvery tassels.

There's a thread on here about crap presents, the one that made me laugh is " DS2 who is two years old got a baby grow 6-12 months with a fag burn on it"

lib that sounds amazing, wtf a clock that is 1metre wide??? With tales Omfg!

tassles not tales

Husband has been away for christmas, and most of our presents are joint ones so I've been very good and haven't opened them yet, will wait until he's back.
Sister is going to make some curtains for the baby's room, so she got me the material for christmas which is very nice, fun but not too babyish so hopefully won't need replacing anytime soon as it gets older. Now we just have to organise a curtain pole.

dizhin if you imagine a sun dial - this clock has a central piece with spikes emanating out. total diameter 1m. at the end of each spike on this monstrosity there are little silver balls, made from cloth, silver coloured and shiny. I supposed like Christmas baubles.

I honestly don't have the wall space for it but even if i did ....

Imeg that sounds so sweet of her to make them

yogi can you exchange the perfume?

So newbies tell us what you've been up to and what brought you to this group / mumsnet?

lib donation to a sensory hospital room perchance?

Hello! I'm new, just joined mums net. Due March 19th - it's drawing so close!!! Only 5 1/2 weeks left at work!
Expecting a little princess- she's been dancing all day yesterday and a lot of today- love feeling her poke about :-)
Great to have somewhere with other people expecting the same time as me :-) xx

Hi Mummyk :)

Hi Imeg, how are you? Good Xmas? When are you due? :-)
(Wow, that sounds like an interrogation!!! Sorry!!)

Welcome mummy the more the merrier :)

How come you joined us so late? Im due 9th its my first and she's practicing tai bo in there

Hi liberuna,
Didn't even know a forum like this existed! Well- maybe if I'd thought about it I would have realised, but only just occurred to me!
I find little one has quieter spells and frantic spells! She was quiet week before last but figured she had changed position. Got more fidgety last week and over last few days has been wriggling and poking and kicking everywhere! I think we got a foot stuck under a rib the other day- ouch!!!! Did have a trip to the hospital a month ago as we'd gone 24 hrs with little movement but she was just having a restful day :-)

What's everyone's birth plans? I'm aiming for home waterbirth and have done hypnobirthing classes!! :-)

Helllloooo everybody! This thread really has gone so quiet. I havent been on in ages and thought it would have moved by two threads at least!

Hope everyone has had lovely Christmases.

Bumps getting big. Not long now!!
