Busy weekend with an actual gig and then at a wedding the other end of the country so only just having a chance to catch up...

House stuff is super exciting @Vil10!

And whoop on house sale @Soph0105 that's fantastic. Has your bestie had her baby now?

As if she's a month old @DKDK123!!

Great news on work deadlines @Juno231 but wtf on 30cm short?!

That's tough with Z @bez91 - no advice as I'm sure you've tried it all. Oh actually have you tried a cranial osteopath? Might be some sort of discomfort from his birth? We took DS when he was tiny and it meant he could turn his head both ways.

Yay on 💙💙💙 @BellatrixK!

Whoop Little Miss B on the weight gain @Minster2012!

Loved the nursery @feliznavidad2 and sounds like a plan on the OC. Are you super itchy?

Huge congratulations @2under2in2022!! That's a great weight for her gestation! How long do you think you'll be in for?

Pleased you got away @paintfairy - are you in for a scan this week? Oh I read your update, that'll come round soon enough!

Sending love @Franklydear

Haha bloody typical @InkyPaper!

Nothing much to report here, spoke to the Dr about my migraines today and other than the advice I can take co-codamol if need be there was no other advice. My friend did suggest I should get my eyes tested though which I will do.

Big week here with a 3rd birthday to get ready for and a holiday to pack for!

@Minster2012 turns out I was able to get mine from the hospital today (thanks @paintfairy!) So I'm all sorted now 😄 just waiting for HR to come back to me. Is B feeling better after the sick bug? Also, have the shower people sorted your shower out yet?! As for burping/winding, my nephew seems to respond to his legs being pedalled? Thanks for the reminder on blackout curtains! I need to get some liners for mine

@Soph0105 33k over?! Brilliant! Glad you can stop all the viewings now 😄

@becarefuloutthere aww! Glad she's doing so well!

@bez91 colic sounds awful! Poor little man (and poor you!)

@Vil10 ooh interesting, I'm gonna look into some online I think. Hoping it might help with the hip/back pain. I'm also planning to work right up until the end. Starting my mat leave the day before my due date but taking two weeks holiday before that. I figure I work a desk job from my house, so I don't need to worry about getting into an office or anything, so there didn't seem much point in going off sooner (unless there's a need of course)

@DKDK123 omg your DD is a month old now?! Where is the time going? Hope she starts letting you get more sleep - less than 3 hours is just torture!

@Juno231 hurray for smashing the big deadline! A 30cm difference is madness - are they correcting it now?

@BellatrixK I'm glad you made it home in the end, even if it was later than planned 🙈 hurray for a boy! How exciting! We need to go for a private scan to find out now as baby was being most uncooperative today 😂🤦‍♀️

@Franklydear the biggest of hugs for you ❤️

@paintfairy sucks you're not feeling well - perhaps baby is kicking/punching near your stomach?! Baby stuff is so unbelievably expensive to buy new 🙈 scan is booked for this weekend! Baby had better be in the right position this time 🤣

@becarefuloutthere I remember googling when you said you'd had the balloon as I'd never heard of it before. In hindsight knowing what I know now I think I'd have insisted on that method 🙈

@kaylsd nipple milk sucking machine 😂 if men marketed these things!

@Franklydear really sorry to hear of your friend ☹️ they will need you at some point and you'll be the best support through a real tough time for them

@feliznavidad2 love that you have a plan full of everything, can't say you won't have tried!

@Minster2012 on the rougher pram, our town centre has old original cobbles, we've been in a few times and it really is like shaken baby syndrome😂😬 definitely didn't help him sleep

@DKDK123 how random of E,like we all said before she was born she's going places that girl. She'll do what she wants!

@paintfairy reading your mention of anal just made me wince 😂, still haemorrhoids over here🙋🏼‍♀️ going to the docs this week. That's annoying on the gap between the scan and follow up discussion! £270 for a monitor!?! Bloodyhell does it parent the baby for you too?

@InkyPaper naughty baby, they just have really had their legs crossed - do you have long to wait?

@larrythelizard yes I have a osteopath booked for next week, interesting you took DS, do you think it worked? We'll do the initial session and see how it goes! Good shout on the eye test, definitely get that booked in. What's the third birthday plan?

@Franklydear oh no. Such terrible news. I know there’s so little comfort we can give, but I’m here if you need anything. I’m so so sorry. Love to you, and to her family.

@kaylsd 😂😂😂 love that description. I can inside my DH coming up with similar.

@feliznavidad2 wow! Exciting is all planned and organised! Does it seem real? Also, your nursery on IG looks lovely 😊

@Minster2012 I love that eternity ring! I have one from my grandma that is similar. If the baby comes on time it will have a November birth stone (same as me) which I don’t like. Diamond and ruby are definitely better! How’s the shower situation?

@DKDK123 definitely claim it! Much better if you get to go and choose your own as well. Oh gosh - E is definitely a stubborn one! At least you know that she won’t be easily led!

@InkyPaper I’m fuming for you! Cheeky baby! Glad you’re finding out soon though.

@larrythelizard whooo! What a fun week ahead! Any particular plans for the birthday? I get migraines -luckily had none this pregnancy, but had horrible ones before. I think my eyes/tiredness are a huge cause for me. Definitely keep Midwives and doctors informed.

Oh gosh, I’m starting to believe I’m this baby properly now, but I’m feeling very under researched! I did get a second hand Snuzpod this weekend which I’m pleased with. But what pram? What baby monitor? Gosh, there’s so so much! Any advice?

Also, my pup (not so little now at 1 Year old) had just come into her first season. She’s so restless and unsettled. Lots of love for her this week I think.

@bez91 xanders fave surface in the pram was cobbles, honestly he loved it 😂have you got Z into the docs to get something for colic? Def agree with you that @larrythelizard should also get eye test

What was the gig @larrythelizard, I was having #killersregret when X was being a right little s**t on sat 😝

@BellatrixK the shower is STILL a situation 😂, I'm waiting on word from an engineer representing the manufacturer to get back to me saying they've had a new one delivered then they have to come to inspect it was fitted correctly & therefore under warranty & then if so they'll fit the new one. So still on hot baths or tepid lack of pressure shower here 🤦🏼‍♀️. Poor baby girl dog, I have to say mine wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. I need to see if I can get another tiny Ruby put in the ring I guess

FWIW on the monitors I love mine & very inexpensive, reaches far & goes into eco mode so you don't have to have the video & noise on constantly (we play white noise), same as we had for X, this one's temp thermometer is a bit off though. I have 3 cameras for the one monitor in diff places, here it is...you don't necessarily need one from the start, obviously I'm going against guidelines without having her within 20cm of my face to breathe on her or whatever, so that's my disclaimer, it's whatever you are comfortable with

Damn this is being stupid again not tagging ppl correctly @DKDK123 you wouldn't happen to be feisty or strong willed would you?! 🤔

@Vil10 I see you are in greige choosing hell, I get so wound up & going round in circles over colour choices

I need to get better again at the winding @InkyPaper she seems so unsettled with it, but it often takes me like 30mins to get good burps. Glad you got your form but not good Yes please didn't get to find out?! When's the private scan? I'm also VERY impatient to know 😂

@Franklydear there are no words you no that. Sending all the love and strength for you all ❤️

@bez91 @Minster2012 gender scan is booked for Saturday afternoon! Kid had better not be doing their best mermaid impression by then!!!

@BellatrixK absolute mood. I'm lost in a sea of car seats and baby carriers at the moment and I've no idea where to start 😂 we've also been given a cot that goes next to the bed and a pram (a silver cross one, which my mum insists is like the beat pram make ever if that helps?!), but everything else we need to get.

@InkyPaperi do think the baby has moved up. The gender scan people will spend longer trying to see than the hospital would. Obviously it's not what they are there for. Fingers crossed for Saturday! Take some fizzy drink or sweet things to eat with you too, in case you need to help them along a bit! As for prams and car seats etc @BellatrixK go to mamas and papas or something and try some out. You can see how heavy they are etc. Also check out reviews online and there's loads of YouTube videos (independent too) with demos. Then you can narrow it down. I bought mine 2nd hand though (pram) and I actually managed to also get a cheap starter car seat (maxi cosi) but I reckon I'll buy a joie 360 ispin once she's a few months old.
@Minster2012 I certainly won't be buying a £270 monitor! I'd rather never leave the room. 🤭 Madness.
@bez91omg. Definitely no anal with haemorrhoids. 🙈 Nope nope nope. 🤣 And yes I'd want the monitor to parent the baby for that price. And deal with it in the night. 🤣 Be interested to know how the osteopath goes?
@larrythelizardeyes definitely change in pregnancy. It is a thing. But I refuse to pay for new glasses etc for such a short time. Eyes also get dry- i wear contacts and I struggle now some days. I found with migraines- changes from dark to light did it to me? Or, just light. 🤣 But glare from sunny windows, or one day I was mucking out my field shelter at the horses and I'd got the wheelbarrow in the door. A few turns towards the sun/ barrow and back to the darker inside and bam. Great. So now I'm paranoid about sun!

@Franklydear I'm so sorry about your friend. 😢😢

Thank you, everybody, very tearful evening in this house, we decided to tell ds immediately, very tearful as expected, lots of cuddles but he hasn’t expressed verbally much yet, support in place in school and after school club, we are all numbed at the moment, family processing things alone yet, but hubby has been messaging me back, ready to jump when needed, hopefully soon, but her family is here, so I know they’ll be well looked after
missing her already, she would have hated all the fuss we are creating on her behalf, chin up and get on with things, lots to do, she would have said

I just saw that I posted a message for you on the other bus a couple of days ago, I was just thanking you for the support and welcoming your precious babies, I know is early, but I did sleep soundly from 10 till 3.30, I’ll go for a swim before work as well, I am ok sad but ok

Even with a chin up we can grieve darling @Franklydear im pleased you feel ok

@BellatrixK we have 2 prams both made by "baby jogger" our "big one" which is for dog walking & stays up in the house it's got huge wheels for going over tough terrain ( it's actually a running pram but I've only in with it twice) it's a summit x3, then our "everyday pram" is a baby jogger city mini gt, which is also good over rough ground as well. They don't "parent face" though other than the carrycot. Car seat we have a "cozy n safe merlin" which is a 360 spin & X used from birth to nearly 4, we love it but you don't take it out of the car.

I've woken up to a beautiful sunny day again, it's meant to get up to 27 this weekend!! I think I've broken Bronte though as she was going Lovely big naps & yesterday I literally had to walk around for the entire 1.5 hours to keep her vaguely asleep then at lunch she was a bigger too so I couldn't nap 🤦🏼‍♀️

Also seem to have missed a life island where Jaques appears 😳what?? Anyone else hate Davide?

Day with both kids & no plans today 😬😬😬

@paintfairy how much for a monitor 😱 was it gold plated and gets the baby to sleep for you for that price!? Think mine was around £30 on amazon.

@InkyPaper how disappointing that baby was being stubborn but glad other than not being able to find out the gender, all was well.

@Franklydear so sorry to hear about your friend, thinking of you and sending all the love in the world.

@larrythelizard it wasn't migraines but constant pounding headaches was one of the signs that I needed glasses so the opticians is a good shout to rule that out.

@BellatrixK I second what @paintfairy said, go into pram shops and test out different prams so that you can see what kind suits your lifestyle best in terms of weight, size, where you're going to be using it etc but I then recommend noting the makes and models of ones you like and looking on places like marketplace to see if you can get a second hand one in good condition, you'll save hundreds! We got a whole joie travel system for £50 in pristine condition. For DS we had the mother care orb and again i think that was only around £50. I'm loving the joie one so far it's one of the lightest prams I've had, can push it one handed easily which has came in handy when DS has started to feel a bit left out and wants to hold my hand while out walking ( even tho prior to DD he hated holding hands).

@Minster2012 just as you think you have them in a routine they like to mix it up. I had the opposite problem last night, DD slept loads but didn't give me the memo so I was awake waiting for her to feed when I could have been asleep! She slept through her 10pm feed so I didnt go to bed expecting her to be awake any min screaming for it. By 12 still asleep and I was shattered but her next feed is usually 1pm so I thought no point in going to bed now as she's going to be starving and wailing and waken DS. I changed her nappy and stripped her off to waken her up but she just rolled her eyes and went back to sleep. By 1am I gave in and took her upstairs I lay in bed but couldn't sleep properly as I was just waiting for the wailing to begin......4am before the madam finally decided she wanted fed!!! I could have had an amazing 6 hours solid sleep had she let me in on the plan, instead I'm shattered and she's all refreshed and not wanting to nap today 😴

So my not so baby boy graduated from nursery yesterday, I just wasn't ready for this level of growingupness 😭 He wasn't supposed to graduate till later in the week but got a call from nursery yesterday afternoon to say they have too many staff off with covid that they have to shut for the rest of the week as they don't have numbers to run it safely so just like that his final days of nursery were cut short. Luckily they had arranged a photographer to take some shots of them in their gowns the other week so that their photos would be back on time for graduation and he had his graduation and gifts etc before he left yesterday. I quickly threw together a graduation party at home in an hour before he got home running about putting up decorations with one hand while having Emily wailing over my shoulder with the other hand, it was multitasking at its finest 😂 So that's me now stuck trying to entertain both of them myself Mon-Sat from now until mid August, praying for decent weather this summer so we can spend most of it outdoors, I feel there may be lots of wine consumed in the coming weeks 🙈

Just checking in after a busy weekend, still no baby from bestie. Unlikely to be a surprise baby now anyway because she's just found out it's actually breech so unless the ECV works this week she's headed for a section. Bless her, she's gutted. She'd planned a home birth with a pool 😬

I'm so sorry about your friend @Franklydear ❤️

Yay for team blue @BellatrixK 💙💙💙

Yes I second @DKDK123 on the monitor @paintfairy we got a super cheap ikea one and it's been fab. Controversial opinion here, we deliberately got one without a video because we didn't want to be obsessively watching it! The audio tells us all we need to know- asleep or awake 🤷🏼‍♀️

Sorry about the continued team yellow @InkyPaper ! Hope it's not a sign that you have an awkward buggery baby 😂

@Franklydear so sorry to hear darling, I'm glad you're doing ok xx

So sorry to hear that @Franklydear, I'm sure you'll be of great comfort to her family.

Oh bugger that's not ideal if she planned a homebirth @Soph0105

Jeez I'd also want someone to be looking after the baby for that price @paintfairy - what was it?!

Those photos were gorgeous @DKDK123! I'm thankful that we don't HAVE to have DS at home all the time once baby arrives (do need to decide when we're dropping his hours and what to though!)

Do you follow any of the wonder weeks stuff @Minster2012? I know that some people think it's nonsense but I'm a fan and it sounds leapy to me...not that you can do anything about it other than be pleased you haven't broken her!

Yeah light is a bugger @paintfairy - i googled to find common triggers and one of them was the weather, that is not helpful as I can't do anything about that!!

Was rag n'bone man @Minster2012 - im not a big fan but was local (and should have been 2020!) and actually pretty good!

@bez91 DS did seem more settled after the osteo but whether it was that or just time passing i don't really know, sometimes just helps to try everything so you know you've done your best!

Was planning ThomasLand for DS' birthday but weather is looking very hot and not sure there's much shade up there (one review from 2018) seemed to suggest there wasn't any so may come up with a new plan. He was asking to go on a rowing boat this morning (no idea where that's come from!) so maybe we'll head to a nearby man made beach where we can play on the beach and paddle and stuff.

Was planning on cleaning the house before holiday but instead am going to treat myself to some cleaners when we're back!

Optician booked for tomorrow, doubt it's my eyes as I had them checked after the mega migraine last year but definitely worth checking.

Been very productive today, a load of work and have cleaned the sofa - cushions are out in the sun drying off!

@larrythelizard I actually woke up with a slight headache today from sleeping funny i think. And going out in the sun to hang washing is definitely not a good thing. Bloody weather. Very unhelpful. No idea what the monitor was- didn't even look! 🙈
@DKDK123 yeah I pointed out to DH that the shop is just insane. And most people probably don't pay that.
@Soph0105 I do agree with you. My neighbours kid is 3 now and they watch the monitor like a TV? Is it really necessary? 🤷‍♀️

Too hot here. I likely don't have enough summer clothes so I'm hoping it doesn't continue too long. 🤔 But buying them for a month now seems pointless. When it'll probably rain next week again anyway. I have got my cot/moses basket sheets on the line though. So that's those washed. And I'll start on baby clothes next if it stays dry! I'm slightly worried I'm going to end up realising I've got loads when I go through them. I have also decided I don't like the smell of fairy non bio. 🤨 Might have to try another brand when that's gone, but I have a massive box.

@minster2012 your push gift ring is absolutely beautiful I love the thought of having a birth stone related present I may look into some earrings or something like that to sway his way rather than the breast pump he’s recommended 🤣 but I didn’t know that about the eternity ring either that’s really sweet 🥹
@DKDK122 it sounds like just when you think you’ve figured them out then bamm the surprise of change happens once again, I hope your supply comes back in to support the pro suckle action what has been going on for you with baby E🙈
@paintfairy I don’t know if I have the guts to try that adventure again sort of speak it may have to be after an occasion with wine to
Ease me into the situation sort of speak ;) I’m going to invest in a electric shaver on pay day it’s a must but until then I’m going to rock the fur life as it’s not worth the flap distress once again 🤣 I never realised how expensive baby monitors are and check the reviews a lot of the cameras ones have been complaining of being hacked and hearing other voices through them - that would terrify me! Being so, let me know if you find a good recommendation?
@inkypaper my baby at 20 week was dying to flash there bits I’ve never seen the sonographer rush to turn screen round so many times 🤣🤣🤣🤣 hope the little one isn’t as shy for your private scan! Eeeekkk how exciting for you :)
@franklydear sending you all the biggest hugs and loves right now, your going to feel a rollercoaster of emotions right now but just know your not alone and we are here for you xxxx
@larrythelizard sorry to hear your headaches are still being a pain in the arse, watch out for the constipation risk with those pain relief chick they were a nightmare for me when I trapped a nerve in my shoulder 🙈
@bellatrixK awwww on your little pup becoming a lady, I get mable her favourite treats when she breaks down so it’s like a period pick me up 🤣🙈

I attended my second antenatal class yesterday number 2/3 next one at 34 weeks, this one was about birth and pre labour and stuff you can do to help labour breathing techniques ect. They were talking about perianal massages which are useful at 34 week I didn’t even know about these 👀 did anyone do this daily? They recommend to use oil whilst doing it and someone asked in the group if they could use Greek yoghurt instead 🙈🙈

I have good news with the house my carpets will be placed when I get back from my staycation seaside caravan break with DH and mable 🐾 our little holiday before the little one, the day after we return so it means by the 7th of July we can move back into proper rooms unbox out of our storage and crack on considering nursery buildings and baby things yay!!!

Also love island aka Gemma show is actually irritating me now she’s getting so much air time! And the snogging techniques of davide makes me want to VOM :) but catched up in my work break, 3 more working days until I leave and I’ve just had my mat pay breakdown -I'm just thankful that I have maternity pay through work as some people don’t.. :) same time every day my reflux has kicked in and no doubt will last until about half 3/4 🤣 hope everyone’s okay ❤️❤️

Tbh @kaylsd the whole ring thing could've been made up by my SIL, but his cousin did get one too (a big F off diamond eternity ring 😂not jealous, nope 😝) and same I would've got something with his birthstone in anyway. Btw you could combine the two thoughts & make a piece of Jewellery with both the birthstone AND breast milk in it, yes that's a thing too 😂no perianal massaging here unless you class poking my 'roofs to check how bad they were???

@paintfairy I also hate the smell of most non bio brands so I use a non perfumed one.
I'd def want the monitor to parent for that. And be gold plated, I'm with @Soph0105, the eco mode on ours shuts off the screen & noise & is reactivated at noise or movement so DH & I could sleep & not worry or fixate on it.

@larrythelizard I know of wonder weeks but I don't really follow it or pay attention cos my attitude is "the baby will do whatever it needs to" and I don't want to cause more anxiety by thinking "oh god there's a leap coming up". I did basically know what WW was saying at each age tho as that's all other mums talked about at classes 🤦🏼‍♀️ . I def think the cleaners is a better idea!! And the beach 🏖 sounds fab! DH's family have rented a beach hut for 3 weeks soon and that's over X's birthday so that's good. Not sure if we'll do a party

@DKDK123 ha ha so annoying DD not sending you the sleep memo, can't believe you didn't go to sleep!! Every second I can I'm trying to do extra sleep. Only trying mind, doesn't work very well 😂

Love island OMG @kaylsd yes it's the "Gemma Owen show" and the NOISES when they snog make me want to vom 😂

Def some "growth spurting" going on here for both X & B. Both eating like horses 🐎

Thank you all, I think I stopped crying randomly, I still cry but mostly alone, ds went to school and after school club bit was ferried everywhere, school was fantastic with lots of support ready, even though technically is not family, he is copping impressively, he's only little and really loved her, the only experience of death he had was the cat, and that was hurt
I am also late, not by much yet,not symptoms spotting because there's no bloody point feeling like this anyway
Anyway, thank you all for being there for me, you helped more than you know
Ps, someone make me a list of babies and sinopsis from the last week cos I missed everything

I can’t read by I can share www.mumsnet.com/talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4569071-to-not-give-in-to-neighbors-request-for-fence-change
sorry I have no headspace at the moment

@paintfairy ooh good tips! I'll just stick to sweet stuff though - I hate fizzy drinks 😂

@Franklydear there's no timeline on grief, look after yourself lovely ❤️❤️

@DKDK123 that's some impressive multitasking! Your DS looked adorable in his graduation photo

@Soph0105 that sucks for your friend, hope they can shift the baby round so she can have her home birth still 🤞🏻 my mum reckons the baby has to be a boy because "only a lad would mess you round like this!" I think it's a sign baby will take after their dad...God help me 🤣

@larrythelizard aww a beach day sounds brilliant! Bit more chilled than a theme park too

@kaylsd I'm very jealous!! Mine was all but running away from the sonographer 😂 whatever angle she needed, you could guarantee that the kid would shift position to be in the wrong place. At one point she wanted to look at the face and the baby immediately moved their arm across it 🤣

@Minster2012 yes the guidelines 🙄 with 2 it's actually impossible to be in the same room as baby 24/7 anyway 🤦🏼‍♀️ the standby mode is good!

@InkyPaper not too much longer to wait, I predict boy 💙 I could never get on with a baby carrier with DD but this time round I bought a BabyBjorn one second hand and it's great, really easy and not too restricting to move around yourself

@DKDK123 interesting on the Joie travel system, we reused ours (M&P Occaro) and whist it's great it's bloody big and bulky. As we didn't spend we're going to get a bit of a better stroller once he's big enough something a bit more lightweight. Super annoying when you stay awake expecting them to 😂 wow great on her 6 hour stint though! Saw DS's graduation photos 🥹 super cute!

@Soph0105 that's a good idea on the monitor, it can become obsessive. My PND last time made me a bit like that 😬 DH made us get rid of it when she was 2 though, one of DDs friends still has one in her room and she's 4.5 years old which is just too far!

@larrythelizard I'm a WW fan! Was down to a T last time. Currently in leap 1! Will let you know on the osteopath.
Random on DSs boat request 😆 local canal? I think a cleaner should come as standard as a push present!

@kaylsd I'm not sold on perennial massage tbh, didn't work for me first time so didn't bother this time although I know some women say it helped but I'm not sure how you'd know? My uneducated theory is your just have a good perenium or you don't 😂 Greek yoghurt? What? For a thrush infested massage?

I am 1.25 episodes behind on LI, I say the .25 because I have to watch them in 15 minute increments throughout the day 😂 Z is such a fusspot at the moment. Went to register Z today so he's now official

@bez91 precisely, how is waking her up to move her to downstairs when X gets up of ANY benefit to me when I need to put her down in that room not next to me anyway?? 🤦🏼‍♀️argh sorry Z is being fussy maybe he knows he's a proper legal person now?!

Yes to a cleaner as part of push present!! For a year right??

There's been some good threads today @Franklydear I was just reading the one on active about the car seat & thinking that would annoy me 😂There was what wonder who had a girl recently and clolo before that (the one on Insta you couldn't remember) but I think that's about it?!

@Minster2012 thank you, nothing like pictures of babies to make it all worthwhile, @Lexber particularly yours, don't envy your day but look at the pics, also X's great effort for father's day, it did put a bee on my bonnet, have to get a move on on that one, we are still very subdued but no tears tonight, stimming like crazy but still an improvement

In other sleep depravity news. DD still shit at sleeping. Sleep training all over again, 45 minutes in and tantrum central 😂 just waiting for Z to wake up 🙄 going to be a long night
