Hey ladies, sitting here (on my ball) desperately trying to soothe my groin muscles must have been one move too far for Mummy in the park this morning and I had to hobble all the way home, it?s agony!
Chooster ? hey there Chooster yes, got off lightly with Xavier, I didn?t know the meaning of sickness then!! Luckily the sick days are getting further apart now and I suspect anyway that I did too much and didn?t eat enough on Sat and that is why I felt so awful yesterday! I?m not down about it but I do feel guilty, as if Xavier only has ½ a Mummy on the bad days I bet I?ll have put on some weight at my next appointment though as I have had a better appetite (anomaly scan on Thurs, scary!) I have to admit, I do hope the next pg is more like Xavier?s than the others I?ve been through (or partly through!) DH is getting funny about 4 DCs now he thinks he?ll be too old and all because I said I?d like to wait until B2 is 1yr before trying for B3, I?ll only be 36 .. hey ho he?s still up for a 3rd and there are plenty more years left after that to persuade him if you ask me and I have also found a German company who make triple buggies what a good memory you have for remembering Natty?s full name back in those days!
Wooow Babylove ? let your DD have a babyhood for a while before you think about siblings! DH and I had always agreed we?d try for another in the summer after DS was born but when the summer came, I wanted to push the months forward a bit as felt DS was still too small. He?s still small but I am glad I had 7 months just thinking about him alone and not the next one too. I have to admit, age was a big thing for us, at 35 I can?t hang around too much if I want a few more kids! Re work, hey lady, that?s the way the system is, we didn?t invent it and your are entitled to a family; don?t feel the slightest bit of guilt over it.
Hey Scorpio I thought it was 3 of your own plus a step son you had already! I agree that the 2nd time round is different. I feel guilty for not thinking about B2 enough as through my pregnancy with DS I thought about him so much more. I guess that?s Motherhood for you, guilt about everything!!
Rainbowdays ? thanks for your thoughts on my product questions
Natty ? what have you been up to on the AIBU threads then hon? wonder what flavour baby you?ll have this time, do you know? My baby is a girl so like you I?ll have a boy and then a girl thanks for your help on the double buggy front. I think I?d like a side by side. I walk a lot and need to be able to feed both babies food in the buggy when out and about (and of course when B2 is old enough!) I would also like a carrycot for B2 because it is just to hot to have a foot muff on in the summer here (did you know I am in Spain now?) but a carry cot was perfect for DS this summer. I was looking at the First Wheels City Elite twin last night and it seemed to tick a lot of my boxes, have you heard of it?
Ready ? hey pregnant lady! any vibes on your baby?s sex? I?ve had very strong feelings both times and been right but only once I got past about 16 weeks. I?m good really thanks, and no, never really suffered before at all. I had a sea sick feeling with the last 2 pgs but now I know what MS really means! I only have good things to say about the bugaboo. I love mine, I am so pleased that we went for that (even if we now have to change it ) Here?s 10 things I love about my bugaboo (and there are so many more):
? The carry cot is a great size and I only moved DS out of it when he started to chew the zip, it was great for going out and about and he could roll over in it, also great for changing nappies in as there are very few facilities for that here in Spain.
? Now that he is in the seat, it is fab that he can face both ways, very handy. I like having him facing me most of the time but it is nice to have a choice.
? For feeding it sits really upright and as you can move the handle bar over, you can pull it up to a table like a high chair.
? It is great to have the 3 settings for the seat, he can lie flat to sleep, relax back to watch the world go by and sit up straight to eat. You can also change settings with the baby in it which you can?t do with all buggies.
? The visability is great for the baby, much better than a lot of friend?s buggies; DS is quite happy sitting in it looking around.
? All the materials including the foot muff and fabric (we got canvass) wash really well.
? Because the seat uses the same frame as the carrycot there is very little to store when you change over which is great if you don?t have much space at home.
? There is plenty of storage space under the seat for shopping/baby paraphernalia.
? It has an adjustable height for the handle bars which is great if people of varying heights push it about.
? There is a beach mode; very handy for us!
Only criticism I have is that they don?t do a double buggy! I honestly didn?t want a bugaboo, I thought it was just a statement but it is worth every penny (and they hold their value well too)
Iammummy ? hey there! Re the jag, I think I?ll have Xavier inoculated, I feel that the diseases it protects from are the greater evil. It is going to be tricky getting it here privately though, wish they?d hurry up with our social security docs.
