May 2017 #6........ 'Half way there and trips to Mothercare'

[Adventuregame]

And the chat/moans/advice/excitement continues.............any newbies welcome !

Where are you planning to meet?

rustler sorry to hear work is still a stressful situation. So you are off until it's being resolved is that right?

Welcome blossom!

Hope you had a fab time in Australia shinni and the jet lag doesn't hang around too long :( And you too lullaby where have you been?

jenny hope you're feeling a bit better now. Are you back in work tomoz?

sauvignon, I feel your pain although my main sleep prob seems to be that if I wake up I'm wide awake and my brain switches on then that's it for a couple of hours however I've had lovely sleep last 3 nights.... bliss! Have you tried those snoring strips for nose? I think they help open up airway.....

Loving the bumps and thanks for adding me to list raspberry

I actually slept through for the first time in months the other night (didn't even wake for a wee!) and I was so confused when my alarm woke me and it was actually time to get up.

Spoke to midwife this morning and she said my pain sounded like SPD so I should be getting an appointment through to see the physio.

badgerbird long may the improved sleeping and I am going straight onto Amazon to order some nasal strips - will try anything! Thanks for the tip and I'll let you all know how I get on, in case there are some fellow nasal congestion sufferers.

I'd love to come for a drink but I'm a hard person to pin down so... if it's a date I'm in London then I'll do my best but otherwise hope you all have a fab time.

Hope you are all keeping well and have lovely, relaxing weekends x

Aha ! I did wonder........

Meeting at Victoria station again would work for me

Ooh yes I can do that Monday. Though will be a little late as Monday's can be a little tricky to leave on time, I will try my best to nip off and get the train up.

No problem peach be nice to see you again!

I've added a second tab to the googledrive spreadsheet with the details

Rasperry I may not be on here much next week as I'm off on holiday but if the Meet up changes can you private message me so I don't miss any details ?
Thanks

Rasperry- have a great meet-up. 'Fraid I can't make Monday 16th but would love to another time!

I should be able to join you all on that Monday too. I will be there as close to 6 as I can - but will probably be a bit late as it's a bit of a journey.

Badger - the question is, can you tell which is me!

So jealous of the actual bumps

I'm up for the 16th

I don't work Monday's so won't make the 16th.

blossom I'm lurking on all my local FB parents selling sites trying to find a second hand double buggy. I fancy the Mountain Buggy Duet as its narrow for the bus, but I'm not that bothered. I haven't yet tried dd on a buggy board. She's not two yet and I don't think she'd get the concept of staying on it.

I won't have access to the spreadsheet over the weekend, but will update on Monday for those coming on the 16th!

I'm hoping that 16 would work but not sure at the moment as I'm due to go back to work next day. Thinjgs will become clearer after next Thursday x

Need to have a bit of a moan, after two days back at work I'm knackered, I could have cheerful climbed back into bed at any point today. My back is sore, had ligament pains all round the bottom of my bump all day... I feel like I've cycled 1000 miles and all I've done is sit at my desk Been for a bath which helped a bit but just generally feeling sorry for myself... Keep telling myself not to complain too much as I'm only going to get bigger but I think I'm just having one of those miserable days.... AND I still need to take the Christmas tree down

Have a lovely meet up everyone!

Thanks for the tips on sleepyhead. Do you think it's worth getting one if I have the park carrycot for downstairs and snuzpod for upstairs?

23 weeks today! Here's my bump pic ...

*pram carrycot!

It can go in the Snuzpod grow so could still be useful if you have one of those newborns who won't be put down. And it is very useful if you are planning trips away. But you could just wait and see if you need it. Lovely bump pic!

Sounds like our dd's are a similar age then blossom so maybe I should get a buggy board and try it out. Do they not get tired from the standing up? We mainly get public transport so the main advantage I can see of a double buggy is having them both safely strapped in! I also intend to use the sling lots while number two is small.

Fab spreadsheet, thanks Rasperry. I think I've managed to update it!

Has anyone else noticed an increase in hair on their belly? 😖 I'm glad I have such light hair, but it can definitely be seen in the wrong light.

Would love to join on the meet up, but live too far away to get home at a reasonable time, hope you all have a great time :)

Thanks Badger
