October mummy's-are you ready?!

[MrsR]

I slept really well last night! It was really warm though! I ended up with just a sheet on!

Feeling really relaxed this morning! Think the candelit lavender baths will become a nightly ritual! It was gorgeous!!!!

HASGDSHSJBS!!! (Yeah just a little freak out haha) Today went for a tour of the maternity unit. We got to see one of the rooms we could give birth in and then the wards. The delivery room (? that's what I'll call it lol) wasn't as scary as I expected. It was actually quite nice, had a bed, birthing pool, birthing balls, a fan and radio in there etc. But omg going in there it just major HIT ME. It might sound weird, but I think it's actually taken me until now for it to hit home that I'm having a baby... and he's coming soon!! That room, just seeing everything like the gas and air etc. really drilled it in. Fluhhh and then going to the wards and seeing all the new mummy's and the girls in labour waiting to go to delivery etc. It was frightening. And I have to stay, I do not like the wards. It's so hot in there, thought I was gonna melt. And it just seems like very dull/darkish? I always pictured it to be a nice bright place full of babies lol but it wasn't. I really didn't like it. I do not want to have to stay there long!!
Tbh the only reason I went was so that I know where I'd be going when I go into labour... but it just scared the life out of me hahah.

The first time I viewed a hospital room it had a huge bed in it a nice big birthing pool and balls and a en suite - they always like to show you the beat room! Lol when I actually went into labour however it was a different story - bed equipment toilet across the hall a baby "cot" in the corner and oxygen and tubes and gar n air blocks manual bed I was like omg!!! Lol

[Lacey's Mummy]

I wish I had some bacon, i used mine on Saturday! I fancy a egg sandwich now though! Yum!! How long have you been feeling sick for? x x

 

[isobel84]

i have had 2 cups of coffe BUT I BEEN DOIN LOADS OF NESTING THIS MORNING!!
and to be honest.. it dont look to bad here at the moment except from alot of washing that needs to be done but i said to OH that as he brought loads of dirty stuff here, he have to buy a big thing to hang it on so it can dry properly, before that, i wont do his laundry!
I have also sorted out a temp draw for noas smallest clothes!! (he got his own drawers but we are not setting all that up until we move)

 

[Naaat]

Looks like last night was a good night for sleeping! I also had a better night's sleep than I have for weeks. Only got up twice for the loo. It was really cold aswell so I felt all snug under my duvet lol!

 

[serenitylove]

i slept quiet well too and after yesterdays quiet baby day it gone totally hyper today i can feel its fingers playing around i keep hoping it might give its waters bag thingy a good poke so they go lols just waiting on mw for my bp check

 

[isobel84]

since a few nights i have keept an eye on the temp in the room n its been 19ish degreese wish is about right for baby but oh keeps complaining its cold n it is abit chilly?

 

[Lacey's Mummy]

I'm not sure what the right temp is for a baby, ive never used a thermoniter! During the winter i leave the heating on over night with a baby though just be on the safe side. I'm still really really hot, so heating hasn't been on yet this year!

 

[serenitylove]

i got a room themometer thru the post from the hipp baby club my place is always chilly tho as heating is crap so dont put on till last min

 

[MrsR]

I wish I had some bacon, i used mine on Saturday! I fancy a egg sandwich now though! Yum!! How long have you been feeling sick for? x x

A week and a half I've felt sick for! It's constant nausea! Nothing helps or lessens it! Feel like I'm back in the first tri! Lol!

I have never used a room thermometer either LM! Thought I was weird for that! Lol! Never used a bath one either!

 

[isobel84]

`but it says everywhere (even on the thermometer which is a good one from mamas n papas) 19 - 20 degreese for newborn but i think its too cold! but surley you can have a little warmer and just take a layer of the baby?

And another question.. how do you dress your baby at night? i mean is a sleepsuit enough and a couple of blankets? i got a very soft but thin fleece blanket that is doubled in the basket.. and i got a celoular (sp) blanket, but its so big i plan on using it more when i want to wrap both of us up abit..
I want a swaddle blanket i think it would be perfect but im hoping demba will go n get one!

 

[serenitylove]

i think everyone has there own ideas on blankets i only ever use celular for nightimes and fleece for pram but im prob gona get a sleepbag as they seem good

 

[isobel84]

but is yours really big aswell? i could wrap baby in 10 times! i feel really bad not having a clue! or dont you wrap them or just lay blanket on top?
