Had a look online, and it made me feel very stupid! It all seems so confusing, so many different bases and seats, different names at different shops, confusing installation guides (Green smiles, yellow smiles, triangles, 2 point isofix, 3 point isofix - argh!). Local stores (5 closest ones up North and my closest 5) don't have the right combination of seat and base (either Maxi-Cosi or Britax) in stock.

Do I order online and fit myself and hope it comes in time, drive further to somewhere that has them in stock, get them to order it or refuse to let the baby out for a while?

Have you looked at this site to see if there is somewhere else to get carseat advice in ur area? http://www.childcarseats.org.uk/advice/index.htm

Your bump looks lovely You are always wearing really nice tops in ur pics too

I started going to bed earlier (pretty knackered anyway) and getting more sleep did help. Now nearly 11 weeks and still going to bed at 10pm-ish every night, including weekends. I've only had nausea and a few occasions where I though I was going to puke, but so far no actual sickness. I tried the bands and they didn't help, I have rich teas by my bed if I wake up hungry etc. I find grazing through the day helps and just anything you fancy. I went off milky things at first but now they are fine so the feelings depend on the level of hormones I think too (supposed to peak week 8-11 possibly then can decrease so it might ease up in a few weeks). I also feel worse in the evenings and if I don't get some dinner down me pronto it only gets worse. So in summary I would say get enough sleep and don't let yourself get hungry/have an empty stomach. Oh and the EPAU nurse said to eat whatever you fancy no matter if it isn't necessarily "healthy" it is better to eat something rather than nothing.

I'm so glad I've given up work now! It was so exhausting.

Have you quit work altogether? So jealous. Would love to not be in work right now.

I worked out the earliest possible date i could start my maternity leave, and its the 1st October
After maternity leave i'll be going to uni and the NHS will pay me as a student midwife so i wont need to work as such

Had a good shopping weekend to. Have picked up a moses basket and stand with a change of trims for £8. It has only been used once. 2 moses basket sheets £1 each still in wrappers. A Chicco changing table for £8. which hubby is sanding (half done but no rush) all from car boot sale. Am being given a cot bed from a friend. Picked up a wardrobe chest of draws and bedside cabinet from B & Q for £69. I know they won't last forever but they will do for a start and were cheaper than buying second hand.
Buggy's and car seats are a mine field, but have chosen the Britax Vigour 3+ with car seat. Anyone have any feedback on this would be greatly appriciated (sp).

I could have started Maternity leave by now but I'm gonna try my best to hold out as long as I can. 6 weeks at 90% pay just isn't very long and I want as much time with baby as I can before I have to go back to work. It all sucks! Wish I could stay home for good.
