Have fun at Asda, Glam! I need to get some groceries later but am going at 9pm after work so at least it will be quiet!

I am so wiped out today- don't know what it wrong with me (apart from the obvious, LOL). Could it be that bubs is having a growth spurt? I'm 10+3. I so do not want to go to work and be on my feet for 8 hours- aargh!

Hope everyone who has Easter weekend off is enjoying it- weather is carp here but I'm hopeful for a bit of sunshine tomorrow. If so will get the parasol out and lounge about in the garden all day! x x

chopsticks, theres nothing in your list i've not used so i dont think you've gone overboard!

this may sound like a ridiculous question, but what are you using cotton buds for? is it for boogers?

Thank you - that is reassuring. The only thing I've got that I haven't put on there is a top and tail bowl. Somebody has given us one but if they hadn't, I wouldn't have bought one as I don't think it'll get used very much .

The other thing that isn't on my list is a bottle warmer. I just thought a jug of warm water would do but then somebody said to me that if you get a cooler/warmer type one, you can take it upstairs and night and it will keep the milk cool until you tell it to warm it up. That way you don't have to traipse up and down the stairs in the night. What do others think? I'm planning to BF so haven't put it on my list as even if/when we do move to bottles, there will be plenty of time to get one after bubba is born.

Re. the cotton buds, yep for boogers . Obviously, I won't stick them up bubba's nose but was going to use them to clean round the edges.

One of the books I've been reading mentions that when you leave the hospital they give you an aspirator and the author said it was one of the best things she bought. The book is US-based so I know I won't be given one, but was wondering about getting one or not. There is one here at BabiesRUs. Not sure whether it's worth it though. Has anyone else used one? It looks a bit scary to put up bubba's nose

The hospital food is actually quite yummy and a good menu to choose from.

Im starting to settle better now, DH is visiting twice a day once without the kids and then back down later with them. Now that I have my lappy some dvd's and my books I feel alright.

Im trying not to worry about bleeding and what might happen and just take it each day as it comes. Though I know it will be a CS premmie.

I didnt want to know the sex but 2 docors have let it slip its a girl, I think DH was a little dissapointed as he was hoping to even up the score we have 2 girls already and a little boy at 16M.

I dont care in the slightest I love pink frilly dresses and all the girly stuff. I like Cliana for a girl (prounounced clane -a) but DH has said no way :mad:

Having spent 2 hours on tesco website ordering groceries for the house, DH will be learning how to go to a supermarket next week lol.

Good news today from the Doc, Im being allowed home tomorrow afternoon for a few hours for my Easter dinner. I only live 10 mins up the road and DH has promised a slap up meal with dessert hmm.

It will also give me a chance to make sure the house isnt being trashed and the washing is getting done lol.

chopsticks, I think SB has one of those bedside warmer things..

Have you tried sleeping with "the long bit between your legs" yet?

re cotton buds - MIL has some with a tiny bud that can't get stuck anywhere cos then they get really fat! I think they are from Boots and are called Safety Buds

definitely! we've only needed to use it once but it was amazing when we did!

Is there an alternative to gripe water that can be bought off the shelf? DH is allergic to fennel and from googling "gripe water", it seems that fennel is one of the ingredients :rolleyes:

I've been keeping up, but not posting much! Hiya to all the newbies :hello:

Spent yesterday blitzing the house - not quite sure where all the carp came from Hubby insisted on doing all the hoovering and anything he deemed to be too much :rolleyes:

Glam - I'm a Tori - well Victoria offically, but Vicki at work, to friends etc but I was always Tori when I was little and Anutie Tori to my nephews.

Mrs Moc - Sorry to here your in hospital, but good news on being allowed home tomorrow. Like everyone else had said, at least your in the best place.

Hi NMS

I am a Vicki but not a Victoria, my stepmum used to call me Tori or Tors to wind me up.

I wouldn't mind if it was Victoria and it was shortened but I wouldn't name a child after myself and OH just wants Tori on it's own.
That awful Tori spelling was on an advert the other day and it just wound me up! He like it cos there'a female wrestler called Tori!

OK, so I like Zac because I like Zac Efron and HSM are my fave films but that's different!

There is something grossly addictive about using cotton buds to chase boogers, it's like a game! Or is it just me? :rotfl:

I like Claina too!
