October 14. Thread 12. Still no babies? Let the raspberry leaf tea drinking commence

[YellowWellies]

New Fred

Another who can't be added!! I so want to nest and make the house beautiful but everything makes me sweaty and breathless or makes my whole body feels like it's splitting in two.

Also finishing in 3 weeks, although only have to go in on Thursday morning this week.

IKEA in the morning, wish me luck!

Arsed not added!!

Munday I only have 5 days left too, I'll count down with you! Pregnancy pamper day sounds good :)

I've already finished work.

The Antilop seems to be back at IKEA again, thankfully. I think there was a change in manufacturer that caused the shortage over summer. They are the best chair out there imo.

PS love the name Alfiebear - I'm longing for the day I can throw ours out of a 100th storey window!

Kirsti my DH offered to pay for a pregnancy massage for me but I'm also getting my trotters sorted as they've been sorely neglected, as has my bikini line so having a pre-baby wax as well it's definitely been far too long but I haven't been able to see it, or had any urge to use it (sorry TMI) for some months now

Yes the antilop rocks! Best highchair by far. The cutesy wooden and fabric ones are all well and good until you actually put an eating child in them and then they just get manky and crusty. I love popping the whole tray in the dishwasher

Those thinking about weight loss post baby - I'm a fitness instructor in one of my lives (plan to do this FT post dc2 instead of returning to my other career) so can give you some tips - or if you live near me, happy to take you on as a client! My sister just lost 10lbs in 6 weeks with my support and she was probably one of the least motivated / likes her food people I know! I'm etching toward a 3 stone gain at the mo so I'm going to be getting myself sorted too.

So tired today but have had a rest day ahead of manic week. DH goes to Canada and we are living at my sisters whilst they are on holiday, and ds starts new nursery which is a about an hour away from sisters. but hoping to move back into house next Monday... Fx!

munday I too am going to get a preg massage and a pedicure and sort out my bikini line! I saw mine in a full length mirror and it's not good

Fedup could you link me to some good exercises for transverse stomach muscle work outs. I have read it is necessary to work on those first post baby.
Mum2 you are hardcore working to 38 weeks! Same EDD as me & I have 3 weeks to go, 37 weeks seems like it might be tough enough for me to manage.

Yes to thinking about weight loss post baby, I was toned before now am all flab and determined to get back to previous size as want to wear all my old clothes again.

Two weeks left at work now, plans for mat leave are washing, cleaning house top to bottom, batch cooking, baking, painting, read up on breast feeding and sleep training and catching up with few friends. Not sure how realistic this is though.

Excited what I am is a crazy fool! If it really is true that 2nd babies are usually 2 weeks earlier than 1sts I'll still be working when baby arrives!

Envious of those with three weeks to go at work! I'm laughing at the eating snacks from the hospital bag as that is so what I'd do - there is a snickers and a maltesers in the fridge at the moment and I'm hoping the baby might demand it's 4am snack tonight so that I have an excuse for the munchies - oh and we have squishy white bread in the cupboard - hmmm with butter and marmite.

Finally did some nesting -DH made the cot, we hung a mobile and some prints, sorted the clothes out into a wardrobe (still have to wash them), ordered the car seat and buggy. Progress made!

Eeek if second babies arrive two weeks before the first - I can expect this one at 34 weeks. So a week on Saturday. Wah!

Need to fill the new chest of drawers with neutral baby stuff from J's old things.

bugs I was considering warning this group about hair loss the other day....um...lots of it comes out!!

fatpony LOVE the rug...may end up having to relocate it from being so close to the changing mat before long though once the poo explosions and puke fests start!

I didn't find that I lost too much hair post birth of DD, might not happen.

Fatpony LOVE the room..

Yes to hair loss, my hair is ridiculously thick as it is so not falling out has been nightmare for me although been nice not seeing it all over the floor and round the house! Perhaps once it's all fallen out I won't have to wait three hours for it to dry anymore, not to mention time it takes to straighten lol
