due in november - part 4.........

[saralou100]

we are here!!

Alright, it was sunny and then the clouds came in. You're right, I would still worry anyways about her coming, with or without all the terrorism problems. And I'm sure all will be well.

morning everyone! FB i had those feelings when i was pg with dd, the world seemed like the worst place to be bringing a little one in to, you do get over it, just look how much love that little one will gt from you and the family! it'll be fine!

and yeah FB it was sunny here wasnt it! now its miserable, damn!

Hi ladies, hope your all having a nice day. FB sorry to here your not feeling great, i try to thik that however bad the world may be i know at tleast my babies will always have a great family who will love them no matter what.

It's a lovley day here sunny but not to hot and a lovley cool breeze.

I have been shopping today getting picnic food were off for a family outing to paultons park on Saturday, its a theme park for little kids so DS will love it and were taking my sister and neice.

Bubbas ok wiggling merrily around although i am getting fed up of having to wee no fewer han 8 times the last 2 nightsin a row which i wouldnt mind so much except i sleep in the loft conversion and our bathrooms on the ground floor so i have to scale to flights of stairs just to have a wee!

Were getting a Puppy in 3 weeks time, my sisters housemate's dog has had pup's and there adorable! My mum lives with us and she's getting onw when there ready, tiny little collies DS is so excited and at least we can train it not to bite him like the last one.

fatbetty - I'm always symetrical fornt/back!

Was a terrible shock the first time I caught sight of a pregnant rear end view.

MGLP - Don't get me started on housework! It reminds me of a fridge magnet i saw:-

'tidying the house while the kid's are growing up is like shovling snow when it's still snowing'

I tidy one room and then leave it to tidy another within 5 mins the one i have just done is strewn with DS's toys.
I hoover and mop my kitchen floor everyday and tidy the living room about 4 times a day!

DS's room is piled high with the babies stuff in one corner i would put it away but half of its boys clothes and half is girls so im waiting untill i know the flavour for sure.

oh well - only dull women have clean tidy houses - life is far too short (unless you have a potential purchaser coming round).
Still haven't sold the house and moving 3 weeks tomorrow. Loads of viewers (and the mad tidying/cleaning that this involves) but just no one biting.
On the brighter side the world really isn't that bad a place - sure there's all this nonsense going on at the mo but at least people have the conviction to act on what they believe in - the world would be a far worse place if we couldn't. I certainly don't condone whats happening but in a society that holds liberty and freedom as core values then surely its all part and parcel. And who knows our LOs may be the ones that make this world a better and safer place.

Thanks all for your positive and encouraging messages. Agree with you CattyB about our LOs may be the ones that make a better place.

Oh, I could go on for ages about keeping a tidy house. I really don't think it's possible!! I try to keep the downstairs tidy but then the upstairs gets neglected. My in-laws are down tomorrow so have to do a major cleaning spree in the morning.

Good luck with selling your house CattyB. We were in a similar situation last year. We moved into our new house in June and didn't complete on our old one until months later. A real pain but at least we didn't have to clean the empty one.

Morning!

Re:tidy House - I only have a 2 bed flat and that is hard enough with DP leaving a trail of destruction behind him and a white rabbit who I am sure loses more hair than he grows! I try and have a blitz at the weekend and rope DP in but it is never enough. Am thinking of being thoroughly decadent when I go on Mat leave and hire someone to come in once a fortnight to blitz the place for at least 3 months, as I can't bear the thought of bringing the baby home, having shed loads of visitors and having a pig sty for them to sit in! Then I can keep it ticking over in between times...

FB - really sorry to hear about your friend that must be a terrible thing to go through.

Morning, im sitting here at the computer curled in my pj's and duvet, it was the 4th night in a row i haven't slept and when 5 o'clock rolled round and i had a splitting migraine i decided to give up and come downstairs

I have been really sick this moring and feel like death warmed up, i hve asked DP to ask for a day off next week to look after DS for the day so i can rest im really begining to feel ill and depressed through lack of sleep.

On a lighter note we are going out tomorrow to a theme park with a huge family group and were having a lovley picnic and shold have a great day if it keeps sunny so that will be nice

morning everyone, charlee hope you feel better a bit later, i cant sleep well atm and last night madam was having nght terrors so it made it even worse!

and to top it all off i managed to spend £100 on make up yesterday for the wedding!!!! cant believe it, it does look beautiful tho!!

taking madam swimming and then going to look at double buggies, think we've decided on a maclaren as i like the side by side and they'r the right height etc. hopefully gunna get one for around £150. Dp wants a new one as we've never had a new buggy (except dds pram but my mum brought that!) so he wants to buy a 'proper' one!

have a good day everyone, got my hen night/ ann summers party tomo! cant wait! lol

Im thinking of getting a single pushchair with a buggy board rather than a double, DS is 23 months so i figure he shoudlnt be in a push chair to much longer............ well hoping anyway!

Have a great hen night stacey. And at least the make up you've bought can be worn after your wedding too so it's an investment for the future rather than a one-ff extravagence!

Sorry you aren't feeling well Charlee. Hope you are not too tired to enjoy your day out tomorrow.

I've nothing much to say at the moment. I'm still feeling ok, sleeping quite well and am not really doing anything at weekends other than decorating! We certainly can't bring a baby into our house at the moment. It's all plaster dust and bare walls, except the nursery which is decorated now. So our house is never tidy at the moment, and that is before we have any kids!

fat betty so sorry for your friend how terribly sad
Charlee hope you feel better soon and have a lovely day tomorrow.
Stace have a fantastic hen nite hun xx

Hello everyone, still no time to catch up properly, I am still decorating the hall, stairs and landing, and I am feeling very pleased with myself, we have lots of Indian furniture in our house (I am a little bit obsessed!!) and we recently bought a gorgeous side board for the hall, it is all hand made and finished off so well, but this morning I've managed to source an original silk Indian wall hanging, it is about 70 years old, and is absolutely stunning, it matches in so well with the new decor and will just finish this sideboard off perfectly!!! Don't think DH will be as pleased when he sees the price of it but who cares if we can't afford to eat for 6 months because of it?!!! (...Need to loose some weight anyway!! )

Anyway, other than my gorgeous find, nothing much to report here, I am now 24.6 which seems very strange, it has gone so so so quickly, can't believe I only have 15 weeks left to go - bit scary really!! I have a midwife appointment sometime in the next week (haven't actually got round to booking it yet...!) but sometimes I feel like I don't want to go. It is lovely to hear the heart beat, and to know everything is on the right track, but at the same time, I don't like going into a pokey side room with a woman I have never met before, so she can look at me and tell me things that I already know, or that she has said that many times before she doesn't even think about what she is saying... sorry or going on, does anyone else just wish to be left alone until such a time as you want or need help?? I know it is only a five minute appointment occasionally (at the moment) but I just don't want it, am I being cranky?? LOL

Sorry guys, I think I have had too much time to think about things whilst I have been painting! Anyway, hope everyone else is doing OK, and I hope I can get back to keeping up to date with you all when I have finished decorating, feel so out of the loop at the moment!! See you soon, TC xxx

Hi i've only just started posting, only found out about this site this week!
I am due on November 19th, we're having a boy, it's our first.
Am not working at the moment as I was temping and it wasn't working out so am a bit bored at home!!

Welcome Kaybee!
It's always good to be joined by new people. I'm a first timer too. How are you finding being pregnant? Are you buying everything you possibly can and finding it hard to be patient and wait for November? I feel like this is a really long 9 months, but I'm a very impatient person!

Welcome Kaybee

Welcome Kaybee!

I just saw my friends little baby its only 3 days old its so tiny! I cant remember ds being that small and he was smaller!

Im scouring ebay for maternity clothes i dont want to pay £20 odd quid for something im only going to wear for a little while i got some good stuff off ebay already just hunting down some trousers!

Back to the sofa for me dp will be home soon thank god! DS has thankfully been good today bless him

Welcome Kaybee!

Charlee, I found some tops at New Look that were cheap and cheerful to get me through the summer months at least. They're not maternity clothes but they are still fitting - though don't know for how much longer as I feel as big as a bus!! I think some of the New Look stores have now started selling maternity clothes (I know they have them at Bluewater).

Have a good weekend all! Having DS2 2nd birthday party this weekend and I hope the weather stays decent so we can keep most of it outside!

Hi all - when I was pg with ds I bought a load of stretchy tops from Primark for £2:00 each and still have them now - they saw me all the way through 1st pg and hopefully will this one aswell, saying that I did buy a nice maternity top in the sale in D/Perkins today - only £5! Bargain.
I have just signed up as an early essentials advisor - has anybody heard of them? they sell maternity and baby stuff and have a really good selection (and a good website) so I am hoping that I can meet some pg people in RL and do parties for them (a bit like Ann Summers) and hopefully it should bring in a bit of money for us as a family and keep my brain ticking over - just need to get the word around now that the bits can be ordered through me rather than the website - wish me luck
Stacey - hope you have a great hen night, shame you can't get drunk! and to all those not feeling very well - wishing you a speedy recovery. I have got to go back to the midwife on 28th (will be 30 weeks then) as I had protein in my urine last time, not sure what that means really but I am feeling fine - will let you all know how I get on. (sorry for essay)
