Morning!! How are we all?? Got my GTT and growth scan a week today, can't wait to see little miss again

 

[HanSam]

Lovely photos ladies - makes me want one now lol.

Well we have made a start on nursery, by that i mean we have moved all my wardrobes and dressing unit out as it was my dressing room . Just need to decide on a paint/walpaper now and get that started. How are your nurserys coming along?

Sitting here having a rest while daughter has her nap making a list of things i need to get. Didnt realise there was soo much seeing as i already have one.

Hope you are all enjoying your bh weekend x

Not started yet, need to crack on once all the holiday washing has dried. We are then going to have to strip all the two top bedrooms and then cracking on. We are also then decorating our current bedroom to be the spare in place of the top ones. It's a long process and we then have the rest of the house to redecorate due to some damp that was caused by the leaky roof *sigh* big jobs and I'm not allowed to do anything. Hubby and family won't let me do anything!

 

[HanSam]

Wow sounds like a lot of work! We got a team of decorators in when we moved here last year which was a god send. Although still took them 2.5 weeks!! I was thinking of attempting to strip the walls or do some painting but think i may regret it after with the pain from back and spd.

Can't wait for it to be done so i can actually pull all baby stuff out the loft and sort through it x

Hi all!

Kaffee- great re sling! Sounds like u had a good get together yesterday! Amazing how knackering that can b though!

Mrsm- good luck for scan and GTT this week! Let us know how u get on

HanSam- We already moved Ethan out the nursery and have made the cotbed back into a cot and bought a new mattress. I've touched up the painting and the room itself is pretty much done coz its yellow and blue with jungle wall stickers so still absolutely fine for this little boy too!..... Just got to wash all the clothes and bedding and sort out the wardrobe, draws etc and its done!.... Got the moses basket to go in our room initially too! So quite organised really! Don't think I'll have the energy later on and got 2 weeks holiday soon so nothing will get done then obviously!!

No major plans with me today! Done some food shopping and we're taking Ethan round to see grandparents later on. Enjoy the rest if the bank holiday xx

Hey girls hope u all had a good bh? Weather was rubbish but nice having the extra day off I ended up at triage at 11 last night as baby hadn't moved since morning! Felt so stupid but they were lovely. All is fine tho and when I got home she decided to have a party typical!!! Have u all started ur nursery now? What themes have u all gone for? Xx

Morning ladies sorry not been on been on busy weekend at work ! Only downside to working in a pub I get the today off instead and serve everyone over the weekend but it was nice to be busy making these weeks fly by!
Lioving all the 3D scan pics ladies xx
Keep trying I'm glad your baby girl is ok it's never nice when they try and scare us like that I always try drinking hot then cold drink one after the other when my little man is quiet not that it's very often! Do t feel silly it's better to be safe than sorry if something was wrong you would have needed to be there xx
I've got everything in my nursery just but haven't actually sorted it properly yet need to get some draws and then will be decorating looking at Eeyore and tigger wall decals as we can't paint with it being a military house! X
Hope everyone had good weekend! Xx

So pleased all was ok hun! It is very scary when they do that to us but u did the right thing and each time I've been for reduced movements or such like they have always been so nice and always say to come if worried! Xx

Hi Zoe- hope u r chilling out today!..... Saw your bump pic hun- u look great

 

[HanSam]

I feel shattered today! I think a combo of busy weekend and this gloomy weather doesn't help.

Ive given in and put tv on for daughter as dont usually allow it in the day but really run out of enegy - bad mother!!


Glad all is well keeptrying. I had a scare like that in last pregnancy and i felt silly but they would rather you went in than left it.

Im hoping to get some nice star wall paper and keep it simple with white/grey but may be lured to get a wall decal before. Love some of them on etsy

Hope everyone had a good bh weekend. X

Great something else to worry about!! Boob leakage just noticed tonight when I had an itchy nipple, when I squeezed my boob clear fluid came out!! Not fun

Been getting that last few weeks, thankfully just drops, so no need for breast pads yet!

Woke up really early today (5.30) which is miserable as planning a small lie in as it's my birthday today! Oh well more time lounging in bed before getting up.

Rung our HR dept yesterday as hadn't heard about mat leave after sending matb1 form, turns out they hadn't had it. Went down to facilities and envelope had been sat in the wrong pigeon hole for a month, so much for giving them 15wks notice!

We're going for safari nursery theme, only got a mobile and changing mat so for it far, got some stickers on order from amazon and need to look for curtains and other bits and pieces to make it very obvious. Walls are already cream so we've decided to leave decorating till he's interested in something in particular in a year or so's time.

morning guys thanks mum2b feeling big but your also looking fab in you bump pictures xx
sound like we are all getting organised with our nurseries now cant believe how quick it come round xx
ive been looking at bridesmaids dresses with my friend for her wedding and its just making me feel frumpy rather than good :/ I'm hoping we can find something as i will be 36 weeks pregnant when I'm her bridesmaid and its my own fault for getting pregnant so quickly when hubby got back from tour!
not that I'm complaining about any of it i am grateful its happened and that she still insists she wants me to be her maid of honor just feeling frumpy! Doesn't help that i also went shopping for some comfy clothes yesterday and Hereford is like pregnancy fobia no maternity wear anywhere and few places that do have it the selection is poor xx

 

[OfficiallyMrsM]

H&m seems to be the only decent place for maternity wear on the high street. Everywhere else is online which is just stupid I want to try it on and buy it not have to wait for the blooming thing to arrive!

Happy birthday Kaffee

 

[mum2b410]

Happy birthday Kaffee!! Hope u have a lovely day!
So annoying re mat b1 form- grrr!!

Zoe- really hope u get something u feel comfy in and beautiful!..... I'm going to a wedding at 33 weeks- just as a guest, and that oufit's been a nightmare to put together!!

Completely agree about lack of maternity clothes actually in shops! Even the biggest h and m around here didn't seem to have any!! All my new bits this time have had to come from online- so annoying!!

Got my first one to one CBT session this morning and feeling pretty nervous :-/ I feel resigned to the fact I will get PND again this time round- not good! I need some positivity guys!! Xx

 

[Kaffee]

i find new look quite good, went to one on retail park near work yesterday lunch and got two pairs of trousers for work as the ones I have from mama and papas and mothercare are really digging in now.

Hope your CBT session goes well today mum2b, my sister had really bad PND with her 1st but not her second, so don't resign yourself to it, might not happen

 

[Zoe S]

Happy Birthday Kaffee x
H&M doesn't have them here that I can see! How bad is it that we have to shop online just to get clothes and when you get them they are either uncomfortable or size is wrong Gggrrr! X I tried going to retail park in Malvern and not a single shop not even new look had any maternity clothes I've given up x
We have been looking at Tiffany rose online and everyone on there has amazing reviews on all the dresses so I'm hoping when we decide and it arrives that I will feel as comfy as these women x they seem to do quick delivery and returns and refunds too just incase I don't x
Hope your CBT session goes well mum2b xx
