I've not done my bag either. I keep putting it off to do when I go on maternity leave cos I don't want to get bored waiting for LO although my mum keeps nagging me about it saying you never know lol.

Tesco just delivered ours and it was one of those where you need everything, shampoo, cleaning stuff and the like so came to £90 eek must get cheaper products I guess. Although they did substitute my bread dough for cookie dough wtf??!! But I kept it cos I want to bake cookies this afternoon now haha yummy xx

My plan is to use a small suitcase too. One that you can take as cabin hand luggage on planes x

My weekly shop is always over £70! I have a big suitcase, think I might just take that instead of faffing with smaller bags xx

Hi girls. Sorry not been on for a while. Life seems so busy! Been out two nights in a row!! Tired now as didn't sleep very well last night. I'm with you girls about needing wees. So frustrating!

I have packed hospital bag and baby bag to a certain extent. I need to go through it as I am sure I have forgotten loads of stuff. Probably the most important stuff too! Loving the reindeer pj's! I have bought a nightie for after labour but I didn't realise it is not a nursing one. Do you think it will still be ok?

I'm cooking today for the freezer! So far made a big batch of bolognese, 2 moussakas, a roasted red pepper sauce for pasta and just about to start the salmon fish cakes! Although they will be for me as OH is allergic to fish!
I fancy baking now though so might make some cakes!! OH is out playing golf so I'm just enjoying the peace and quiet! Lol.
A cake would be nice though.....!!!

Hope you are all having a nice day. I'm dreading going back to work tomorrow after my week off! Oh well, 4 weeks left until mat leave! Xx

 

[Doob]

Omg you lot are so organised! Loving the Christmassy hospital bag theme, might have to find some for when I do start packing!! I'm baking the cookies that Tesco sent instead of bread and then I might ponder the bag situation lol xx

Bliss I'm with you on back to it tomorrow but only 2 weeks to go for me yay

Those are the ones I have!! Xx

 

[newbie1984]

Haha I have them on now.

I've done another cleaning spree today. As most of you know OH and I live separately, we have only been together really since the beginning of the year and obv I wasn't planning to get preg so quickly but now OHs stuff is moving in and he should be here permanently this week. We are moving into my 1 bed flat which has limited space!!! Plenty for me and a newborn but it'll be tight for 3 of us! Its a big 1 bed flat so we will figure it out but i just need to be inventive using the living room cupboards. I wanted to sort them today but it's a lot of lifting so we are going to do them tomorrow then he can start unpacking.

I finish work end of this month. Start reduced hours from tomorrow too so I get to finish at 4pm so it'll cut a couple hours off my day should help!

I've lost oh to football today so enjoying catching up on crap tv

 

[newbie1984]

It doesn't help that I've turned into some OCD nightmare so everything has to have a home
Lol my flat looks like a showhome right now!

 

[Doob]

I cleaned again this morning lol. Exciting about OH though xx

 

[newbie1984]

Haha yeah we finally got there!!!

Has anyone bought any nursing clothes yet? It's all sooooooo expensive!!!!

 

[Doob]

No not looked into this yet. What items are you thinking of getting? Maybe worth holding off getting lots until the January sales? X

 

[sophs85]

You dont need them. Just use vest tops and whip them out LOL x

 

[newbie1984]

That's what I was thinking soph I'll prob just go to h&m and buy some vests in the next size up

 

[newbie1984]

Also make sure you pack a snow suit in your baby bag it's gonna be cold in December! I've done away with my coming home outfit and just going to bring him home in his snow suit (and obviously clothes underneath!)

Eeeeeeeeek next month we will have BABIES!!!!!!!

 

[Doob]

I love the cute snowsuits. My LO is coming home in a tigger one or a little hedgehog one from h&m. Decisions,decisions! It doesn't quite seem real NEXT MONTH?!!! feels like forever away at the same time though too x
