Good luck for tomorrow daisy I'm sooo excited!

Wow mamap can't believe you'll be in the top spot - where has all that time gone???

PinkFondantFancy · 22/09/2011 03:12

Good luck today daisy we'll be here cheering you on xx

Daisybell1 · 22/09/2011 03:22

Thank you so much for all the messages, that's so kind of you all xxx

Yes I know I should be sleeping but have just been very poorly-sick Sad. Not sure if its the reflux or if things may be starting to gear up a little...

Will keep you posted tomorrow when possible!

Xxx

PinkFondantFancy · 22/09/2011 05:51

collie I haven't got any experience of gap but Next 'up to 1 month' fits Persephone a treat. I think it's up to 10lb and she's about 7.5 at the mo. Her 0-3 month clothes drown her regardless of brand

IzzyWizzyletsgetbusy · 22/09/2011 07:04

Good luck today daisy !!!!!

laylasmummy09 · 22/09/2011 08:42

Good luck today daisy! hope you're not feeling ill,
xxx

bigmacandhappymeal · 22/09/2011 09:01

Good luck daisy! Hope sickness passed xx

I need to buy a few more newborn things I think. I've gone for 0-3 assuming that Happymeal is going to be a biggun (i'm almost 5'11, MrB is 6'2 and some)

mamap - the top spot is almost yours!

Thanks for doing the FB groip collie and look forward to meeting some more of you ladies through it - I hadn't been on FB other than on my phone for ages and it's all changed.

Have a lovely day everyone x

Daisybell1 · 22/09/2011 11:03

Nowt happening here and they're very busy so we've been sent out for a walk into town. And what have I been occupying myself with? Pram porn Grin!

CollieandPup · 22/09/2011 11:27

Aghh!! I have just let the cat in and he's chased a mouse into the kitchen, which he is now chasing around! Poor horrid little mouse is squeeking and squeeling and I'm stuck stood in a chair!!! HELP!!!!

good luck daisy - enjoy those prams! collie your cat must have had a chat with mine today - was woken up at 5.30am by crashing as the cat chased a mouse around the kitchen. the cat won. Hope you get cleared up soon (fortunately dh was around to do the deed for me!)

dooscooby · 22/09/2011 13:17

Go team daisy!

Just on my way to see mw, might get measured for the first time, woo hoo!

Waves to everyone and sympathies to those with spd and other aches and pains.

blackkat I know I'm a bit behind you but I'm with you on the reluctant shopping front. We're definitely going to have a look this weekend though and atleast size some things up, even if I don't feel ready to buy. I think I might start with a little teddy, as there are some gorgeous ones out there and I'm quite partial to them myself!

CollieandPup · 22/09/2011 14:08

pink thanks for the grow size advice. I've gor some next 0-1, but they don't have that option in gap. Think I'll leave it as most newborn go over 7lb and I think 7lb is just too small.

harassed how are you today?

Thinking of daisy

Katherine how strange our cats have both been mouse chasing in our kitchens!!! It's all cleaned up now..ughh!!

Hiya

I've lost a day on the list - happy to update but before I do wanted to check whether others had as well

I am so hungry and all I want is a lamb chop with really crispy fat Blush

owlbooty · 22/09/2011 17:46

Hello lovelies :)

Greetings from t'other side. Sorry I haven't been in much recently; have been monopolised by very demanding Owlet. He's currently snoozing on my lap so am typing with one hand.

Tis fabulous to see all the babies arriving and lovely new people joining the list :)

wombatinwaiting · 22/09/2011 18:12

Apols for lack of posting ladies- combo of silly busy at work and silly tired at night. Fab ton hear all your news, particularly safe of arrival of gorgeously named Persephone pink!

Very, very best of luck to daisy and daisybean - will be thinking of you.

Lovely to hear ,from you owl and so glad all is well.

And onions you too - we have missed your zen-ness!

All is well here bar slightly overdoing swimming on tues night resulting in physio trio, taping and a rather sore back. Can only blame myself for the extra laps I thought I could manage.....

Waves to all! X

Minnie74 · 22/09/2011 18:37

Hi to everyone

Not been on for ages since going back to work so can't be sure I'll remember everything!

Pink woohoo on the birth of little Persephone-enjoy all the newborn snuggles x

daisy good luck today. Can't wait for news!

collie cats are so gross! Luckily my two are house cats so we don't get any mice-just lots of dead spiders (sometimes just the legs!) How do I join the bookface group? Confused oh and hope you're sleeping a bit better now.

blackkat the pilates dvd was a 10 minute solutions on one on Amazon. I'll try to add a link but am pretty crap at computer stuff! I finally bought something the other day-just a babygro and a little cardigan but it took ages to get up the courage. Even now I'm reluctant to start on major things like buggies and nursery. Hope your dad's ok.

Been suffering with major back ache recently though only when I sit down! And also terrible heartburn- had to be sick in the night because of it the other night. My midwife suggested a bowl of ice-cream before I go to bed might help as I don't like milk. I don't think she meant a regular tub of Ben and Jerry's but it's all I want now!

My boss is heaping work on everyone at the moment-always the way at the start of term but now I just can't be arsed (even less than usual!) as all I can do is count down to mat leave. I will miss everyone as we all get on great and have a good laugh but it's all the other hassle I can't wait to be rid of for a while!

Hi,

Sorry not got on today. This being off work is exhausting!!!

Collie I've always found the Baby Gap to be on the small size. Dd is a tiddler and she could always wear her size so to speak, whereas others dwarfed her. Thank you for the compliment, feeling every single one of those years at the moment!! But I use lots of oil, Oil Cleansing Method and Bio Oil or Nivea....Oh and I used Aptimil with dd. I mixed fed her from 6 weeks as I'm rubbish at expressing and wanted to get one bottle a day established reasonably early for when she went to child minder.

Pink Persephone really is a brilliant name!! Hope all is going well x

wiw look after yourself lovely! Don't push too hard.

Argh brian is alive and kicking in my head! Not been up to much, obviously, but it's lovely dropping off/picking up dd and getting lots of time with her. Trying to find some shoes for a party on Saturday..... Hmm

cep · 22/09/2011 21:32

evening ladies

owl good to hear you and owlet are doing so well.

i think my dates are correct.

wiw rest when you need to rest hon.

collie have never bought gap, i hesitate to buy something expensive that babs is going to grow out of in a matter of weeks.

bigmacandhappymeal · 23/09/2011 12:40

hi all

Just noticed on my lunch break that mama's and papa's have a sale on - it's online but there may well be stuff in store too
xx

CollieandPup · 23/09/2011 14:00

Errrr I've just realised my dates are wrong too Blush I've gained a day Confused does someone who is not mathematically challenged more reliable want to update it instead?!!!

cep only looking at ickle things at gap as had 30% off, but instead have bought pack of cute newborn vests with blue tiny stars from Tescos.

owl so lovely to hear from you at the other side.

wiw sorry your so busy, I hope your managing ok. Sorry about the pulled back to, I hope you're resting it. No more aquazumba this week!

harassed spending extra time with dd sounds nice. Hope you're feeling better.

bigmac i'd noticed the M&P sale. We're getting our cot from there and it went out of the sale so ave been holding out. Mattressses are expensive though but seen one on kiddicare with good reviews for 1/3 of the price so might get that if it will fit

Hope everyone is doing ok. Still thinking of daisy and hoping daisybean doesn't keep her waiting too much longer!!!

Have packed my hospital bag now !!!! I was born about now!!!
