*** November 2014 Mummies! ***

[Kaa286]

Thanks for that Katie they're fab!! I've found the perfect bag for me already. Can't believe how good the price is the bag alone would cost about that I bet!! Can't wait to get mine.

Ooh Yeh share list too please haha. Good job we have you!! xx

 

[mellie_88]

I haven't even thought about looking for a hospital bag yet! Been more preoccupied with organising baby things.
Ive gone over my list loads but im bound to have missed loads, feel like I have anyway. So the link would be useful if you can find it

 

[katiee24]

I'll hunt it down and post it soon! Been so helpful for both pregnancys! X

 

[nicejuicypear]

the list is called Kezza's list, it's here http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/second-trimester/211767-kezzas-list.html. I found it once and copied and pasted it into word. It has formed the basis of my spreadsheet but I didn't put everything from the list onto my sheet.

The prepacked bag looks good, I'll probably just end up lobbing all sorts of random things into mine! I will start planning stuff like this properly once school breaks up. For now I'm content buying the occasional cute thing!

 

[Toffeegirl]

OMG, do we really need all that for one tiny person. I have now gone into panic mode (lol)
Thought I was doing ok now I am thinking I haven't even scratched the surface.

Toffegirl, don't panic, it's just a list of everything you possibly could want. My list is well less than half that. I'm buying a little as possible!

 

[mellie_88]

Going to go through the list tomorrow, hopefully I wont miss anything off with this to help!

My boyfriend just felt the baby kick, he wasnt quite sure if it was a kick because it was so little but I obviously felt it stronger than he dis. Hes happy now

 

[katiee24]

also gonna buy one of these kits as well - still remember the moment hubby did our little girls hands and feet whilst waiting to be discharged!

 

[katiee24]

Aww that's lovely Mellie! Hubby was pleased when he could feel PJs first kick even more so with it happening on Father's Day - he hasn't felt since though

 

[Kaa286]

Oh Yeh I've seen that list before not sure if I saved it can't remember. No way I'm buying all that though think it is just defo considering every possible thing u could want or need but I will defo be getting a heck of a lot less than that. Is a good guideline though!

I'm also waiting for school to finish for summer as it's still very early yet but not much can get at times coz we not finding out sex and really hard to find a lot of neutral these days. Xx

 

[Nuala]

My due date is 28th of November! So exited!

 

[katiee24]

Congrats and welcome Nuala!

 

[Nuala]

Congrats and welcome Nuala!

Thanks! Glad to see so many November babies coming! And bump is growing now

 

[katiee24]

Im already a november mummy to my little girl so will have lots to celebrate this year Aw thats lovely! I still havent got round to taking a photo of my 22 week bump lol!

 

[Nuala]

November is your month! For my family it's first time having someone in nearly winter time Everyone born in spring for generations!

Is the one you expecting a girl too?

 

[Kaa286]

Welcome nuala

Katie post a pic of it today I can't wait to see it. My bumps definitely progressing but I'm still too overweight for it to be round enough yet. Gravity doesn't help :-/ haha. Xx

 

[mellie_88]

Welcome Nuala my family is the opposite, nearly everyone is an Autumn/Winter baby. Just glad he won't be born too close to Christmas like most of the family.

My bump is getting bigger now too, although my work uniform does just make it look like I've been eating too many pies!

 

[katiee24]

Here's my 9 weeks & 22+3 Bump pic! Defo a big change! I didn't realise how big I look! Think I'm carrying a lot of water and fat again as when I lie down it's not this big!

 

[Kaa286]

Our family are spread out a bit so it's hard to judge. We all over the place haha.

Aw it looks like a proper bump though Katie doesn't look like fat or anything so I doubt that hun xxx
