Hello all.
Sorry ive been a busy bee at the weekend.... not that busy but not really had time to update here.
Jbellls, so sorry things are so bad for you at the moment 
. I hope you have lots of supportive RL friends. Thinking of you X (and loving your facebook photos 
)
SWI hope you are getting better, and fab news that can see OH for such a long time at such a crucial time 
AC, lolling at noncommittal answers... at OHs Xmas do when i WAS pg (but didnt know) I had to give them non committal answers about having babies, knowing there was every possibility i might be pg. Even more important as all OH's siblings and their OHs were present and listening too!
100... oh love P&T explorer.... i was stuck between that and a mountain buggy. That was my last 2.... had i have not been able to get a MB made in the old factory in NZ i would have definitely had a P&T from china (made in same factory as the new MB's) I think i'll be torn between that, a MB double and a britax B dual when number 2 comes along! I think if able to use peanut carrycot when in double mode id have gone for that one!
Whywait I am using the natal hypnotherapy Cds. Have been doing pregnancy relaxation since 16 weeks and i have effective homebirth preparation from 32 weeks. There is also effective birth preparation for hospital / midwife unit
They are always on ebay and often go for £2 - £3 so i dont recommend spending the full £10+ on a new one, unless you really want to.
bebe hope you are feeling better and 
at the slugs / snails / caterpillars eating your peas!
Quod you made me LOL at "my birthing centre" 
, and to answer your other question, the hypno relaxing technique can be used for stress, and lots of other stuff... not just birthing
Not that much news here:
Went to Bambino directs new showroom.... it was SO knew it didnt have a sign!!! and i had to go into another shop (on the same industrial estate) and ask.... and they said yes, its at the back of our warehouse . Had a nose at buggys / car seats / pink lining yummy mummy bags, and established that i definitely did want the britax baby safe plus II car seat. (having recently realised that the foot stores in my car means i cant use any car seats / bases with a foot pole, which rules out ALL group 0 car seats with bases or isofix.
also went for a wander around our biggish mothercare and boots and sainsburys
... THEN... i get home, go on mumsnet and someone announces that mothercare has just launched an online sale..... (could not believe my luck, there was no mention of it in the store id been in that very morning) and my car seat was in the sale . Its RRP was £140, but on special offer in boots and bambino direct for £104 and was going to order it this weekend while in sale..... BUT i got it for £69.99 Was well chuffed.
Then someone on my nanny forum found a voucher for babies R us valid sat and sun only for 20% off.... so i ordered my cot and got £50 off that too £200 instead if £250. link here if anyone wants to see!
On Saturday we went to the local agricultural show. Saw lots if animals and sampled lots of local sausages / cakes / jams / pickles etc. Went into one of the local baby shops tent and was browsing at the nappies... she asked me if i needed any, and nearly died of shock when i told her I had 90 already .
Yesturday it poured with rain... we went to MIls and sorted our wills (for them to just write up for us as they are solicitors). We had discussed it before, but went round with it writing to be written up ASAP. Also as we are not married, it is important that I state that my baby is OH's and that i want him to have legal custody of his our child(ren) as if i Died; as we arnt married, my family could quite legally fight for custody of our baby and get it . Anyway OH's parents are writing my will to ensure OH gets all the same rights to our baby, if I die, as he would if we were married.
(I know my family never would, but now they cant, well they can try but wont get anywhere if they did!)
Otherwise nothin exciting... on not such a great note, i had managed a whole week without being sick..... until yesturday.... and then i was sick today as well (dont think ive vomited 2 days in a row for about 10 weeks) and i have been sick again at 11am. Have not been sick at any time other than soon after getting up in the morning for ages either, and i really reaally hope my sickness isnt returning in 3rd trimester (as HG can).. expecially as i have 5 days left in 2nd trimester.
Guess i'll just have to see how it goes... on the plus side i dont feel ill, so thats a good thing.
Hope everyone is ok and that i didnt miss anyone.
