Sorry did forget to say Im trying to limit it to two pressies as hubby says hes got me 6, so that'l be equal when we open them.

He does like very warm socks so Il have a hunt on t'internet now. Any thoughts on aftershave??

RE: massage oils, the baby oil bought for bump has already been put to good use there so I think its his turn for that!, lol!

Girls need your input on a xmas pressie dilemma.

Both me and hubby set ourselves a xmas stocking limit of £20 ive got 4 gifts so far and £11 left so think ive done better than with a unlimited budget!! BUT what else to get, Im on aftershave but normally would spend £30 st least, help please.....

BTW Ive got DVD, small book, posh bubble bath and a gadget

Sounds like a challenge for boots 3 for 2 offer to me or does he like novelty slippers? we get my dad a pair every year, this years ones are monster feet £8 from tesco

You might be able to get a small bottle of aftershave from bodycare for about £10 do you have one in your town?

boots or superdrug maybe for aftershave. you might be able to pick up a pack that have the sample(ish) size bottles??

i too have this problem as hubby and i are going to spend about £20 on each other. i have no idea what to get him as i struggled enough for his birthday at the start of the month (he got a 'pot of gold' [thanks special occasions board]; gilette fusion set; money and an angel wing keyring)

Morning ladies! (Apologies for this very long post!)

I had my 12 week scan yesterday - bubba gave us a wave and was kicking it's legs about - we didn't expect to see any movement at all at this early stage, so we were chuffed to bits! :j

When sonographer first put ultrasound thingie on my belly we got a perfect view of its face profile - unfortunatly, she wasn't quick enough to get a picture of it . We got two pics, both were quite blurry and sonographer apologised and said we could have them for free as they were so bad!

We then saw the consultant, he said I can have a natural birth - no c/section needed! Although this will be reviewed at labour stage. I had been told previously that C/section was a must for me as I have very limited movement in my hips, (I had both hips replaced when I was 25 due to severe juvenile arthritis). Because of this I will be having Physio throughout pregnancy as I am at risk of SPD due to already weak ligaments and muscles.

All in all, it was a very postive appointment. Everyone we have come across at the hospital, GP surgery and midwife clinic during this pregnancy so far has been so lovely - I guess we have been very lucky!


I have a very busy day planned today, I am so unorganized with xmas stuff I haven't done anything yet :eek: . So the plan for today is:

- Make 2 Xmas Cakes and marzipan them (One for us, one for hubbys office team)
- Write all my Xmas cards
- Wrap all the presents I have bought so far
- Make a list of all the presents left to buy
- Then start to panic, that I have so much left to do!

Slippers, hmmm, ages ago he said he wanted new ones with a proper back on (not slip on) but i thought it wasnt a very good pressie bit old manish, lol, maybe novelty ones will be better though.....Il have a look now, any cheaper ones so I can still get something else. Ooh I sound cheap now but really just trying to get him the best I can for my little budget

Thanks Angel Il look on their website

SB and Sami - I seem to be a bit behind in some of the things the baby centre emails say. I do remember the one saying you will have a bump (must be the one you had Sami) when I didn't. You would think they would generalise things like that side of it a little more considering how different everyones pregnancies are

I think my emails are out of whack sometimes, unless Im reading it wrong EG. I was 18weeks Monday but have had week 19 emails, am i in my 19th week because im 18 weeks gone or my 18th week????

This is probably really easy to work out but my brain wont let me, btw the edd on the email is correct.
