Due in June 2008: bring on the bumps! (and that's before Christmas meals!)

[aberdeenhiker]

The last message I posted seems to have filled up the old thread so I thought I'd start a new one.

Since bump size was our last topic, I thought this might do for a thread title.

aberdeen -just got a phil and teds from kiddicare.com. Came with a travelcot as well.

My sis has a phil and ted's and loves it. I've always thought it was a bit wierd though, putting the baby in what looks like a hold-all and shoving it under the seat! A friend also has one and an old lady stopped her in the street to say "I really don't think you should be putting your baby in the shopping basket"

Aberdeen if you love to walk I am sure the P&T will be just the ticket!

It's been busy on here today - been thinking about the title for our next thread - but can't think of anything witty enough, but it has to include creme eggs in the title

I have also eaten runny eggs, brie ,a little smoked salmon and prawns.

On the baby things front - we have bought nothing yet. I just keep accosting Mums in the street to look at their pushchairs.I like the look of the P+T (on my shortlist)but really fancied one where baby/toddler can also face you.
Cot I think we'll get from Ikea.
Cradle/moses basket we're borrowing and then the next big thing is car seat.

summer creme egg eaters anonymous?? Creme egg appreciation society?? Will keep thinking.

Anyone have experience of a) jane powertwin and b) buying prams/buggies on Ebay??

I like Creme Egg Appreciation Society...or "How do you eat yours...." which would look quite funny after Due June 2008!!!!!!!

Re: buying stuff have taken same approach a NH and bought most of our stuff on Ebay, as have to get two of everything (not two babies but two houses ). I have moses basket, bedding, towels, baby gym, bouncy chair, baby carrier, pushchair and car seat but have been weirdly superstitious about buying clothes just yet. Have my eye on a swanky new cot though...hdeously expensive Mamas and Papas Ocean. Have to sweet talk DH on that one I think, as it's too new to find one on ebay.

Glad to hear I am not the only big busomed woman...and devourer of creme eggs. Had two on the train home, and they didn't touch the sides. I confess I've been eating whatever I feel like, especially runny eggs as have heard about lion egg thing. Not really a fan of peanuts, so that's not an issue. Latest thing is pickled onions....

SPD officially diagnosed by doc yesterday and she has faxed off urgetnt referral form so will hopefully have firs physio next week. She also mentioned supportive girdle! And told me not to walk up stairs more than necessary...but I live in a three storey house, so easier said than done. Good thing I sorted the Wifi out.

Love 'The Creme Egg Appreciation Society' as thread title, but do we think think it should have 'Due in June 2008' first so that anyone who has been away for a while can find us again ... ?

'The Creme Egg Appreciation Society...memberships expire June 08'

All this talk of creme eggs had me remembering the advert where the pregnant lady dipped her chips in her creme egg it has me sickly wondering what it would taste like

gardenangle my sil has the jane powertwin I think her only problem with it is she keeps having to take wheels off to get it in the car

'The Creme Egg Appreciation Society...memberships expire June 08'

Perfect!

'The Creme Egg Appreciation Society...memberships expire June 08' - another vote for that title

Hello all!!

Well back up to date with posts

I vote for 'The Creme Egg Appreciation Society...memberships expire June 08 but not impressed with all this talk bout them as you cannot get them out here and dont think they would survive a postal journey!!

Hi to all newbies and Hi Sarey and Penguin Im a first timer too mn is fab for info and general chit chat

Littlemy- Bye and my biggest hug

Makecakes- Think i beat you and prob every one on here!! i was 38 FF and now im ....wait for it.... 38H H for huge humungous, hippo like!!!! Holland ( had to buy bras in holland while i was there none in my size on the island!!!!)

Well as youve seen been away for a while went to Holland to see mil Think it will be last time ill see her . She is very weak and not very well now.

Well carnival day and school tomorrow have found biggest costume so going as a fat clown!! Oh what a long post !!! oh well speak later

virtual creme eggs for Parofleur, Debs and Ernest

I really really really really don't like creme eggs, does this make me odd

No -I'm not keen on either on them either. Galaxy on the other hand...

Just nipping in to say had 20 week scan today and all went well (yay!) .. and its a girl..

good luck to those that have their scans over the next days.

Off to celebrate now by ordering some maternity clothes

upside down - that's a great site - thank you!!!

Sophie - yes you're odd - I'm sorry!

Congrats Poopy, still got 2 weeks to my scan, doing it laste to combine with consulatant and hopefully be able to find out when they are gping to deliver. I agree with you entirely on Galaxy and am happy as I have just scoffed bowl of Purbeck Serious Chocolate Ice Cream, a brand I can't reccommend highly enough.

I like being odd.

So sorry Poppy not Poopy

I'm so pleased for you Poppy. I bet you're one happy momma. ROFL at "Poopy" . A friend of mine has just had his first baby after trying for 7 years - with similarly horrible experiences to you - and I don't think I've ever heard someone sound so happy. I bet it'll be like that for you too.

I like creme eggs and galaxys. And have huge boobs. Just so you all know that I definitely belong here

now debating whether to change my name to poopy...

Congrats Poppy. My scan is on Monday and have decided not to find out flavour, but everytime I see one of you guys announcing yours it makes me want to know

I got DH to get me a creme egg on way home tonight. Had one earlier today while catching up on MN and now its waiting for me, calling my name...

Sophie - yep, you're a bit wierd but wierd is good . My favourite creme egg is the 'first of the season' - you know, that first time you see them in the shops just after christmas, mmmmmmm.

Evening all. Three more posts and this thread is a bust! Love the new title though. They were selling creme eggs at the train station tonight - three for £1.20. So, erm, I've only eaten one so far, but suspect it will be two tomorrow.
Poppy - congrats on it being a girl! I am trying to rein in on the pink in case the scan was wrong but all I want to buy is tutus and fairy wings!
Gardenangel - was it you asking about the Jane PowerTwin? Was looking at possibly getting a Phil and Teds so that I'd have space for BF/ SIL's kids, or maybe another of our own in the future. The woman in the buggy shop steered me away from the Jane Twin saying it was "very heavy" - just a thought. This is an independent shop, with experienced staff (she knew all the buggies inside out, bless her). I didn't try it for myself and have decided to get a single after all, but thought you'd want to know.
Right, must do some freelancing before I pop off. Got birthdays Friday/ Saturday, so doubt I'll catch up again until we're officially the Creme Egg Appreciation Society. Might have another one now actually...
Night!

I've started the new thread for us with being the 1st one up...come and find it

Garden Angel my scan is in 30 mn can't wait

Good luck with yours, let me know how it went

Gosh it is quite here today can't believe my post and the 1000th on this Thread is the last so far. Perhaps we should start a new one.

Back from my scan...and it's a boy. Not sure what to think really. Everything was pretty normal apart from Kindneys so we have to go back at 32 weeks

Hey all

I am due on 28th of June, I having another girl whick makes two of each!
