i got loads of milk as baby is going straight onto sma wysoy instead of messing about like i did with the other 2 n them being ill etc

i still need to get bottles been looking on ebay this morning saw a load of fisher price ones infact 300 quids worth and they ended up going for 80 quid was gonna bid right at the last minute but i got home to late

the buggy i got is this one

saw one in mothercare the other day which was very similar for 140 n with postage got that one for 82 yay!!

beth took her first couple of steps on friday but hse hasnt done it since shes a lot more confident with standing up on her own now tho!

how are you coping with having 2? i saw one of your other posts n i started to panic LMAO is Dior getting used to Harley now?

A sling to pop bub in whilst you're dealing with your eldest.

www.brightsparkslings.com do some gorgeous ones and they are really comfortable.

Why not give breastfeeding a go? Less chance of your baby having gastro problems

i looked at that buggy here is my post as i couldnt decide
http://www.pregnancyforum.co.uk/forum/v ... highlight=
the seller dont live far from me about 15mins in the car so i wouldnt have to pay p&p, let me no what its like when u get it.. if its heavy or bulky i need something light to get on bus with..

Dior is hard work, the hardest thing u should be ready for is make sure your partner has a good few days of work with u as at the mo my boobs are so full up with milk (i aint breast feding) they are so sore i aint been able to pick dior up since saturday

Nappies?

got dummies n nappies bought bouncy chair off ebay this morning for a tenner

i have a sling tho i was given it second hand and havent used it yet so need to figure out what im doing with it
tried breastfeeding with both of the other 2 and they were exactly the same as they were with normal cows milk (they are both lactose intolerant)

Dionne
hopefully it should be here sometime this week so il let you know
il make sure i get him to book some time off around the time that im due then i think, is Dior getting used to not being the only one now? Where i have got Kurt as well as Beth im hoping Beth aint going to be too bad as she is used to Kurt being about but then when Kurt is at school she is here on her own to be honest i think im making myself worry more than i should

Bibs!!!
It sounds to me like your nearly there hun!
Have you got all you need for your bag?

 

[bubble_dreamer]

i have loads of bibs although i do need to get some white babygros and sleepsuits as where i knew beth was going to be a girl i bought EVERYTHING in pink so if its a boy i dunno what im gonna do with it all but if its a girl then im sorted

i hadnt even thought of my bag

 

[Rosieroo]

You can never have too many bibs (as I am finding out with Ella's dribble at the moment )

The sling - is it a pouch? If so then it's really easy to use. Any probs drop me a pm.

 

[bubble_dreamer]

yer its a pouch one i think il have to dig it out soon and learn how to use it beforehand tho if i have any problems with it il give you a shout tho thanks

yer it wasnt just bottles though it was teats, bowls,weaning spoons, trainer cups infact everything you could ever need! n when i thought about it the amount of money i had spent in the past year on replacing teats and bottles of beths i have probably spent well over a hundred quid anyway!! so figured in the long run would save em some money

 

[Kim]

ah right!! i understand now, i was gonna say, i only have 6 bottles, they cost about a tenner!!! lol

but it does add up doesnt it

 

[bubble_dreamer]

yer definatly its been worse with beth as she started throwing them and they started cracking and leaking everywhere was really suprised coz they were avent bottles as well speaking of which i need to replace hers again

 

[Kim]

Avent are rubbish, I much prefer Tommee Tippee
