Sorry to hear you've been struggling Dani, oh has been out of the game all week with a stomach bug and I've found it hard to handle everything and that's without pgp.

56 days to go, only 7 working days, then 2 weeks hol, then mat leave. Eeeek!

 

[babyslog]

Over done it again today lol! My step dad came over and helped build Noahs new big boy bed (ikea kura which i painted white)

I decorated his room a few weeks ago.
Charlie will be in his cot in with me until hes old enough to have sides off cot which will then go under Noahs bed and the draws in my room xx

 

[jenni16]

The room looks fab Dani lucky boys! the Kura looks so much better painted white too, what sort of paint did you use?
Xxx

 

[babyslog]

I did one coat of normal primer. Then used white egg shell paint. Its a lovely finish! Doesnt smell anywhere near as gloss but also doesnt chip like emulsion can on wood

 

[Jojo84]

Love the room!

In with you until sides come off? You're brave lol we only just took my sons sides off and he's 2! I couldn't share my room until baby is 2. I value sleep too much lol

 

[babyslog]

Noah was 18ms when his come off..
But im thinking of doing it before and buying a mattress to go under Noahs new bed and then a side guard, although itll only be a case of Charlie rolling off mattress. (Seen loads of ideas with this kura bed on pintrest lol)

But yeah its either that or use cotbed under Noahs new bed and put guard on that.. Or share till hes 1.5/2 with me lol!!
His room as u can see is tiny! Im only in a 2 bed n with now being on my own wont be able to afford a 3bed rent in Cardiff xx

 

[Jojo84]

Like could have probably done with being off earlier but we've just moved him in this week (he abseiled down the side on Tuesday night!) we don't have bed guard in his because he would just climb over it and his bed is quite low to the floor.

We're in a 2 bed and Luke will be sharing from 6 months or so unless we move house to a 3 bed which we may do.

I love Cardiff, I used to visit there often in my early twenties

 

[Tigger87]

His room looks really lovely. You've done an awesome job!! What does Noah think? Has he been in his new bed last night?? With the kura theres all sorts of bed hacks you can do, my favourite thing seems to be looking up different IKEA furniture hacks. One day, I'm sure my house could be a showroom....!! Hahaha.

 

[babyslog]

Noah slept fine in his bed!
He shouted for me 10mins ago tho cos he couldnt get down the ladders in the dark lol!
Ive but his step he uses for bathroom by there to help which he managed ok yesterday, but guess he didnt fancy trying 1st thing from waking lol!!


Cardiff is lovely i do enjoy living here when the weathers nice lol!


My bedrooms r such shit sizes in this house!!!

Worst case is id swap rooms ina few yrs, but it should be ok!
As they get older some of these toys wouldnt be clogging up the space anyway!

I love ikea haha!

 

[Tigger87]

There's a restaurant down the road from IKEA, I hope you've been. Cedar tree farm or something? they do the most amazing cakes. We had this the other week:



(The cake is next to Jakeys head to give you an indication of size!!!)

 

[babyslog]

I actually havent been but ive been meaning too haha!

Ive heard about their cakes! And i pass that way going to and from ikea as i come from the m4!

I need to go! I new they were beasty but jesus that slice is huge haha!!! X

 

[Tigger87]

They do takeaway cake too, me and my OH shared this and I STILL couldn't finish it. And I'm not usually one to leave cake, ever you have to go. My mouth is still watering thinking about how good the food there was! (Jake loved it too because they've got a good indoor play bit-hence the very red cheeks!) xx

 

[Jojo84]

We had cakeaway from pub on Mother's Day! Massive but managed it!

I used to go to gigs at the point in Cardiff and uses to stay at the Cardiff backpackers hostel which I believe is now are jab for drugs and alcohol (which is funny considering how much drugs and alcohol were consumed when it was a backpackers hostel lol) I remember locking men's faces down the bay and falling over a wall when I was hideously drunk one time... Oh the youth!!

I've been to church today (I go ever week with my son and have taken him since he was 5 days old) today a woman commented that it annoyed her that children (hint:mine) ran up the side Aisle.,, well any mother of a boy knows that they have ants in his pants - he wasn't even being loud. I gave that woman a pice of my mind- preggo rage came out!!

 

[babyslog]

Haha jojo!!! Xx

 

[Eaw123]

Anyone feel like their bump is growing daily!

 

[jenni16]

Yes! Although mine seems to have shrunk today. I think she must have turned around because all the movements seem to be in different places to usual. Xx

 

[Eaw123]

Mines head down during the day then as soon as I get to bed it turn to lie across.

 

[jem8789]

I think my little terror is sideways it's so uncomfortable, i'm getting all rib kicks and my bump aches so much where baby is already running out of space (or is sat so awkwardly that any free space doesn't matter!)
When does baby's position become a concern for labour? Just thinking I might try and encourage it to move ASAP!

 

[Emmam1982]

I feel massive, every task is a chore, even driving is uncomfortable due tomlogan spending his time with his feet under my ribs. I can't get through the day without a nap. I even struggle to sit on my sofa and spend most of the time laid down.
I also can't believe that I've got less than 7 weeks to go, it's going so quick now x

 

[Eaw123]

I come to bed early as I can't get comfy down stairs. Same as you Emma every thing is a chore and I have out so much effort in such small tasks
