Everyone sounds like they've a great Sunday planned haha I got up at the crack of dawn to leave my husband to work and he is working all day so not much planned. We bought yet more baby stuff yesterday cuz apparently we have an obsession haha pretty much sorted now except a cot and it's so early so I'm pleased we can just relax now until nearer the time when going to wash the clothes and everything.

Got a fun filled day of uni work planned which I'm already struggling with the idea of.. Can't concentrate or focus and I'm loaded with a cold. I seem to have been ill non stop which is so annoying cuz before being pregnant I never got colds and things really.

GG glad u got all your time consuming things done so you can take a few more rests today! Xx

Lovely to hear you sounding so happy and I am so jealous of how much you've bought already. Then again, I'm consoling myself with the fact that a new car that has isofix is extremely important and responsible baby prepping so hopefully that will last me a couple of months lol.

Yep...going to be an easy carvery today for sure

We got the Isofix base too. Really glad we did as we have a 3 door haha yesterday we got a Fisher price rocker seat and some wee teether toys and things and yet more clothes haha this child's wardrobe is going to be enormous and if it's a boy on weds I'm screwed cuz it's all pinks, purples, corals, mints for sleepsuits with wee bunnies and girly patterns and dresses and cardigans hahaha xx

Ouch Shep 450! I am dreading our MOT next month!! x

Nice bump GG! I feel like a whale in comparison lol x

Sarah and Laura, good job! You two are super organised! Hope your cold passes quickly Sarah x

Not much planned here today either. If the sun comes out we may take DD to an animal farm nearby and a walk through forest. Have a nice sunday everyone xx

 

[Shanivy]

GG you've a lovely bump starting! Looks like you're going to be so neat. Look after yourself today. I had quite a bit of pain last night that worried me with my back but this morning it looks as though it's come to nothing thank god. Starting the physio in march. Though I've no idea what they'll actually do and if it will be helpful xx

Shep I was thinking about this too. I think it's early 3rd tri you can actually feel them. But I can't for the life of me remember when I actually did with dd. I had an anterior placenta I'm not sure if that made any difference xx

Dd is definitely my daughter. Been arguing with a four year old about how to pose the doll for her book haha. Away to the park now to get some more, even though it's freezing cold. Have a nice day ladies!

 

[Amy207]

Today.... it started for me about 2:30am up coughing and snorting everywhere!
Think at some point when I managed some sleep a steam roller hit my head a few times!!
So a day of chilling walking the dogs other half doesn’t want to do anything other which is a bonus! Plan was originally to finish last bits in baby cave but that can wait!

 

[JemRose]

Morning everyone, busy day yesterday. We got our new bed delivered and taking apart the old one, cleaning the bedroom top to bottom, rearranging the room and putting up the new bed. Took it out of me!! I did the little things like unscrew screws lol at least I helped a little! But still so much moving about and I probably did push myself further than I should.
Anyway night in new bed and we've both woken up with sore shoulders haha, guess it will take some getting used to!

Lovely bump GG

Sorry forgotten everything else, I well and truly have lost my brain recently lol.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday x

 

[JaneyJan]

Sounds like everyone is having a good time planning and getting things ready! So exciting! I haven't bought ANYTHING yet for baby. I kind of want to have the 20 week scan first... So I know what I'm having! And once I'm in second half of pregnancy I'll feel more ready... Cuz I know once I start I'm going to be mad about it!

Am at work today on another long day... Ate a tiny breakfast to try not to be sick but no good... Ran to the bathroom vomiting half an hour after arriving... But I'm eating very slowly and small amounts and it's settling thank goodness! All my clothes are getting baggy and I know I'm still losing weight but figure I don't need to worry too much as baby has plenty of my fat to get nutrients from..!

 

[JemRose]

Knowing the history of me and my sister..
Does anyone else think it's harsh that my scan is on Wednesday and on Friday she decided to book a private gender scan for Monday morning... Her 20 week scan is next Friday..
Don't know why but just feel like she's done it on purpose. She's never mentioned a private scan before and when I mentioned I wanted one she said I was being negative and should just wait for the 20 week scan..

 

[LuckyLaura]

Jem we ordered a new bed due to arrive next week and we are so super excited, hope we dont wake up with sore shoulders haha I know what you mean though about overdoing it even with small stuff! We repainted our bedroom a few weeks back and even though my husband wouldnt let me help move any furniture and i only was doing the edges with a wee paintbrush whilst he did the roller, I was so knackered. Haha That does sound really weird that your sister suddenly did that and with you saying shes super competitive then it is even more suspicious. Im sorry that shes doing this, it should have been a lovely thing that brought you both closer together.

Janeyjan sorry to hear youve been feeling ill! roll on for your gender scan haha

I have pretty much almost finished with shopping until the baby is here. We bought a lot of basics in clothing and in 3 difference sizes, we have 0-3, 3-6 and even some 9-12 cuz we didnt want to get too much of the same sizes and kept seeing so many beautiful bargains. We are going to stop and see how we get on and then once the baby is here if she needs a few more clothes we can always pick them up. The main things like moses basket, the mattress, sheets, bath, and all that jazz are bought and now that rocker chair. Pram and car seat already in the garage haha just a cot and mattress nad sheets then we will take a breather! Need to reorganise our room, were gutting the wardrobe and drawers to throw lots out to make space, have loads of charity bags. Have so much more to do and then need to get ready for the bed arriving this week haha plus need to go collect the duvet and pillows and sheets ive ordered in online cuz having to get all new due to the bigger size bed xx

 

[LuckyLaura]

Plus I have this mahoosive uni assignment due wed and a scan on wed too yay x

 

[JemRose]

I've waited so long for a new bed Laura, but definitely takes some getting used to. You sound so organised with everything you've got, can't wait for Wednesday to find out what I'm having

I'm not letting my sister get to me, doesn't matter who has a scan first, it will be the same outcome either way. And tbh don't expect anything less from her!!

Hope you and your husband are okay now Laura x

 

[Shepherdess]

Jem I've said before your sister sounds very childish but honestly don't let it bother you
does it really matter who finds out first? maybe she's just super excited. if she is doing it out of some sort of pettiness then she'll be gagging too know what you're having by Wednesday so just stay quiet for a little while and enjoy sometime of you and your husband having a secret

That's just childish and pathetic of her. It does seem like she just wanted to know first. Rise above it but yes she's being ridiculous in my opinion. On a positive note, only 3 days until you find out what baby is!! xx

 

[Shanivy]

Mothercare is having a decent enough baby event/ 20% off sale ladies for anyone interested

 

[JemRose]

Very true I think I'll let her wait and sweat it out lol. I'm not letting it bother me but she is just an idiot! X

 

[PeanutButter]

Ah nice bump pic gg.
Jem, just let her get on with it, let her be selfish. Concentrate on you and your baby.
My bump has 'popped' went to in laws ans they were like omggg yourve got big (not in a nasty way).
Weve had a massive clear out and put loads of stuff on shpock. Already made 50 quid from stuff outta the loft so thats a great help.

 

[JemRose]

Nice one PB. Never used that site, but sounds good!!

Anyone got any tips etc to do before a 20 week scan? To make baby more active or whatever, I got a funny feeling baby will be crossing its legs on Wednesday haha x

Fizzy drinks and tangfastic sweets. A friend who had a very quiet baby was told to have those two things on within the hour before the scan, last of each 10 minutes before. Xx

 

[Shanivy]

So my ovia app says baby could be dreaming now. What the hell could a baby in the womb possibly dream about?! Being in the womb? Haha

Jem agree with GG. Anything sugary, ice water or ice lollies, fizzy drinks. Baby had her legs closed though and they usually do a decent enough job of getting baby moving by giving a bit of a shake xx
