Due April 2008 -The one where SCORPIO GETS MARRIED!!(and we get virtually drunk)

[VictorianSqualor]

Booooooo!

My thoughts exactly.

I have to admit I had a sneaky peek at the order to see which colour you'd chosen, and grinned very much like this when I saw! (I can stalk you too now though)

Knitter, strange question but did you feel excited in the delivery suite this w/e??

I sorta knew baby was fine and wasn't going to come but it was so exciting, I was looking round the room at everything and I could hear babies crying and the woman in the next room on her gas and air and...oh...I WANT IT TO BE ME!!

Hmmm, sort of excited because I knew we'd be back there soon enough to meet our little man, but the room we were in was kind of in a corner corridor bit and we couldn't hear anything else. It did put my mind at ease a bit because the midwife and doctor I saw were both really lovely. I'll be being induced in 9 - 10 weeks now (actually thinking about it, I should be on the due in March threads shouldn't I!) and it's going soooo quickly!

I´d have felt the same as you if I´d have been there. I can´t wait for Sam to be here, but at the same time I love being pregnant & don´t want it to end (most of the time anyway )

I love being pregnant too, just wanted to say that out loud!

Yay, it´s not just me then Even though I'm a thousand times more grumpy this time & feel like a barrage balloon DH reckons I´m gorgeous though so that´s all that matters! He's going away next week

GAwd I am now heartily sick of being pregnant! I can't bend over (Dh not ehre to tie laces), and keep bursting into tears- embarassingly at the Paediatricians today (finally got a confirmed dx though, she will try and resolve schools etc (she wants a Sn placement for him but the local ASD school is under threat) before baby comes). Oh and i dented the car door today so Dh will be amssively annoyed! (wind caught it out my hand, no dodgy driving or anything like that).

Have a big bag of clothes to sort through from my sister- ahd to LOL as she said to let her have anything we don't use back, but when we started looking it all looked startingly familiar from what we lent her after she had her ds1..... . That's making me particularly broody.

Can't wait for the next ten weeks to pass.

Me too Peachy, not that anyone woudl expect me to agree with you!

I hate it, I can't sleep, I am sick every day, I have pain, I can't walk far without getting out of breath, my bump has changed shape so now I waddle, I've got heartburn, I HATE IT.

I know when it's over I'll miss it, especially as DP said after all the fuss this time he doesn't think he wants another

I just want it out, if I could be put in a sleeping beauty type state for the next 8weeks I would and then I'd be trying everything possible to make it come.

On another issue, I've bought a freedom ring-sling off ebay and didnt think to ask the seller if it had instructions, anyone know if they are easy to use?

Morning All Scorpio so glad you had a nice day

VS / Knitter it is easy for us to say take it easy BUT take it easy!

Bought the bubs car seat at the weekend ohh its getting closer Egg from the Feb thread (we were TTC together) had her twins on 10th Jan sounds stupid but that made it so more real!

Just thinking when we start to have our babies do we leave here and go to post natal that will mean you will all be on post natal and i will be here on my tod

Went to Asda to get some baby bargains at the weekend and they had nothing left oh well to be fair I have most things anyway only really need a nice baby towel and umm thats it! I am sure there must be something else will go away and think

It's easy for me to take it easy, I'm not working any more! Actually that's a fib, I've got 2 days this week and 2 next week, but we really need the money and I can put my feet up when I get home anyway. I'll have to make the most of it, there'll be a lot more to do next time round!

I think we've got most things, just need to order the cot (speaking of which, I have a question for anyone who've used sidecar cots before. I've been wondering about how the baby will lie in it to start with, because they're meant to go with their feet to the bottom of the cot aren't they. And that would mean the poor little thing would have his head round about where my knees are. I'll use grobags as soon as he's big enough so that'll be fine having him with his head next to mine, but what do I do in the mean time?) , we've got the pushchair in the loft, tons of other stuff stashed away, but I've insisted on keeping the car seat on top of our wardrobe so I can see it every day and be excited!!

Oooo, the postie just came, and delivered my birth ball. I'm off to pump it up and have a bounce!

Good Q Knitter i never thought of that one umm hopefully someone will come along with an answer sorry i have no idea although you can get those bar things that make the foot of the cot higher Here but i dont know if you need both sides of the cot for that or there is the co sleeper thingy here

IIRC you can get like bumpers that you put the feet against to stop them wriggling down the cot (the point of the feet to foot thing), but baby won't care less where his head is anyway! As long as he can hear and smell you.

We haven't yet decided if we are buyting a new cot, dh has to see if he can find spares for the old one. Crib will do in the meantime though.

Saw my nephew in the same sling we have at the wekend and he looked blissfully happy so pleased with it now

TLSM - I remember Egg. Wow, twins Don´t worry I´ll be here with you as no-one can make up their minds when I'm due & knowing my luck the one that said 8th May is probably right! Am going to start shopping in Feb, otherwise I´m going to have nothing!

Feet to foot isn't as rigid in a cot when you're co-sleeping/sidecar, if you put baby to bed alone then feet to foot them but once you're with them it's not really a problem, the idea is that you'll be there anyway to rpotect them, think about it no-one puts their baby at the end of the bed if they sleep together!!

I'm fed up of being pg. If I could have the baby now and take her home I would - I can't wait to meet her!

knitter - we can't both stalk each other simultaneously, we'll have to work out a rota.
How many weeks will you be when you are induced then?
[selfish emoticon] hope my wool isn't too delayed then....

They said they'll induce between 38 + 39 weeks. I'll be 38 weeks on March 25th.

Just had a quick look on ebay and cucumberpatch have 15 balls of hiss in, [[http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Rowan-Wool-Cotton-Hiss-single-skeins_W0QQitemZ300191548504QQihZ020QQcategory Z36593QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQtrksidZp1638.m118.l1247QQcmdZViewItem here]

When I've ordered from them before the wool has arrived the next day or the one after, how about cancelling the other order and getting it from there instead? I think it would be the same price.

oops, here

Has anyone got their labour bag ready yet??

Think I'm going to get my stuff either this or next week and pack it and put it in the boot, partly because they mentioned keeping me in at first yesterday and DP would have had to come all the way home (we live quite far from the hospital) Also want a bag of stuff ready for the kids, they went straight to MIL's yesterday and took some toys but we were wondering what the hell would happen if we were there late.

hi scorpio, glad you had a nice day on saturday

I haven't got my labour bag ready yet, but made a list of what needs to go in (made from the lists earlier on this thread), and it looks like I'll be needing a labour trailer rather than a bag.

LOL, I was actually thinking what bag do I have I could use? I do have a lovely mini suitcase on wheels ........

VS I have pack the babies hospital bag yesterday am not due for 14 weeks! wont do mine until the beginning of April as i wear the clothes i will put in as have to stay in for 48 hours at least!

think I'm getting a bit nervous now. you all seem so well prepared and organised.
the only thing we have done so far is to decide which room will be the nursery...
no pram, no cot, no clothes, no antenatal classes and definitely no labour bag ready until now
