New thread ladies

hello all! Merry I have a bean bag v shaped cushion - got it for DS1 and still going 5 years later! It was from the bump to 3 catalogue as in matching material (Noah's ark) to the grobag I got......It has been invaluable throughout each pregnancy, especially for sleeping and helping to ease SPD. Brilliant also for BF and both boys still love it for a cuddle!!

Hanaflower 3 and half hours to get to work hpoef you get a better journey home, you must be very tired with all that commuting - I presume you are not planning on returning to work once LO arrives????

heartmum glad DH is Ok - although did think it funny he was doing it for are oyu being framed - that'll teach him eh!!!

when are we book swopping??? This weekend???

DM friend had the beanbag one and tried washing it in the machine ended up with a very beany washing machine lol! god Otherwise very good, I think

I have washed mine loads of times - it basically unzips so you just put the cover in........Pink still waiting for payment - sorry to be a d-r-a-g...........

I think she made the mistake of actually trying to wash the inner cushion itself! Slightly overtired new baby thing, methinks!
Will send baliffs around later

Pinky - OMG YES! My kitchen floor currently has half an onion, an empty coke bottle and the top off a juice bottle on it as I have given up because bending down is so unpleasant. It gets dropped, it stays dropped. I need a long-handled dustpan and brush or one of those pciky-up sticks litter collectors have (or, as DH says, like old people have).

I wish my hair was both thicker and self-dyeing - I can't get it cut til early October and I look like a ginger Professor Snape. Crossed with a space hopper .

Cushions/pillows: What are those cushions that are sort of the same shape as a fat fortune cookie (I know what I'm on about) and that you can use as a bump cushion and then as a breastfeeding one? I saw it in a catalogue but can't remember which one.

I've just re-read that sentence and it's obvious I need a coffee - off to put kettle on.

For ruthosaurus

and heavily pregnant ladies everywhere!

I tried to get off the floor whilst holding DD earlier.....I gave up after three attempts and nothing happening

tee hee...LOL at the Handy Reacher...I am really struggling to get my shoes on in the morning. I feel like an OAP. I can't see anything below my belly - no idea what my (quite recently waxed) mary looks like anymore. And yes, I continue to dribble food stuffs down my top each day. Today I had lunch in town with clients, and dribbled Olive oil down my top. Which looked attractive. And oh so professional. For the rest of the day.
Can't wait for my bosoms to start leaking. That will really add to the effect I'm creating.

tee hee - I also can't bend over....my kitchen floor is a DISGRACE...have got one of those old granny sweeper things to do the job for me was reading DS1 has story tonight and couldn't get up off the bed (single) he had to push/pull me up whilst saying "mummy you really are quite fat now" but forgiveable as he is 4 unlike heratmums Dad!

I am soooooo bad - have cooked a really healthy chicken and borlotti bean caserole with tons of veg for the DH and DS's but all I want is pancakes and grilled peaches - with sugar that is SOOOOO bad isn't it????

And yes to the dribbling thing....sound advice- never order soup in a restaurant when yuo are very pregnant- the distance from bowl to lip is just too far to risk it.

Lacks- am totally with you on the picking small children up off the floor thing. Especially when older sibling does a 'pile-on' from behind whilst you attempt it.

Monkey this is where the Birkenstocks really come into their own. Slip on and super wide fitting- so no chnace of slipping them off under the desk then having to spend the rest of the day barefoot because you can't get them back on your swollen up feet!

DM appparently I am going to get bigger and bigger and bigger and then bang the baby will come out.

Thanks for the handy reacher - DH came downstairs to find out what the screeching was all about! SO tempted to get one.

ds has his uses. picking everything up for me (still a novelty at under 3!), especially as i'm super clumsy at the moment so drop everything - keys outside the house, letters, bag, purse, small bits of irrelevant paper etc.

ps. dozy, my kitchen floor is always a disgrace, but I have cleaner starting tomorrow . Boy, is she going to have the shock of her life when she walks in! Was thinking of tidying so she could actually clean, but only managed one surface covered in gunk (put it all in a box to be sorted at another time)! I think the floors and bathroom will keep her busy enough for 2.5hrs anyway.

LOL at Handyreacher.
MerryM, my boobs have started leaking.
Shit still haven't bought anything for stork. Starting to panic now. Still haven't come up with anything.
I can't eat anything, whilst sat in the lounge now. I can't get the plate near my mouth becasue of my bump. But I did place my cup on tea on the bump the other night. Don't worry, it had coolled quite a bit. The bump= shelf was extremely handy and I kept my mug of tea there for the whole time. Very handy.

When I had my Cs for ds. the lady in the next bed had a handy reacher. Honest govenor.

DH just made me LOL! He saw the photo of the handy reacher and thought it was a harpune! He said "what do you need that for". So far still managing to pick things up but will definately bookmark the link.

hey, dh had a handy reacher as he couldnt bend down for two years. it couldnt tie his shoe laces though so i had to do it for him.

anyone else getting into a mild panic that the birth is 10 weeks away or under?

[scared]

I'm seriously considering one! I have really dodgy eyesight with different focal lengths in eye so my stereo vision is pretty poor. Bad enough when you are pregnant and can't reach things, but when you have failed to reach things four and five times in a row it gets very frustrating!

am also a short-arse so would be good for reaching high shelves as well

I got my stork present when out and about today.....after the website I had ordered from let me down on delivery dates and it won't arrive until after the posting date . Good job it's something I can use for virgil!

at your dad heartmum...talk about insensitive.

less than eight weeks for me misdee .......eight and a half at the very outside as I am to be sectioned if I haven't delivered by 41 weeks!

lacks - 7wks until EDD! I think I'm more worried about the fact nothing is organised and my life is chaos at the mo and based on estimates will be until 39wks rather than going through birth. STUPID I know!

BIRTH again EEK!
