    I'm being all creative and turning a too big pair of jeans into a skirt that fits my bump. They are a nice summery light denim and were just going to waste. Go me.

    Managed the dishes too :j Not going to attempt any washing though, DH will have to do that when he gets home tomorrow.

    yay! had human contact via a phonecall to my mate :D
  • Mrs t - Congrats and enjoy your dinner out :D

    Well most of the nursery has been cleared just have the dreaded filing to go!!!! Also someone is popping round in an hour to see if they want the cross trainer we have for sale as there will be no room after bump arrives (I'm praying they take it).

    Right, off to start the filing, if you don't hear back from me presume I've been buried under a mountain of paperwork!

    Well, I have planted our 2 little strawberry plants we picked up today (just hope the snails don't discover them)... Tidyed and swept out the shed that hubby trashed with his pilling of much junk in there... Strimmed the edges of the lawn... Freecycled the old lawnmower... Set the new lawnmower up for hubby... And now I'm afraid to get off the sofa because I'm pretty sure my legs aren't going to work again...

    Oh well... Dominos is on the way!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Congratulations Natalie. It must feel great to have your little man home at last.

    We bought a new car ready for arrival of bubs today - a people carrier. We were in the car showroom for 2 hours after the test drive while we sorted out all the paperwork and stuff, and I needed to pee 4 times! That was pretty embarrassing. Mind you when I looked round all of the other women in the showroom at the time were also pregnant so obviously new baby/new car is the done thing! We pick it up on Wednesday.

    Was talking to our babysitter last night, and she mentioned that she still has all the baby stuff we gave her for her little boy who is now 4, thinking we were finished, and that we are welcome to have it all back. So that means that we get our moses basket, stand, bedding, etc back plus other bits and pieces like steriliser. Hopefully that means all we really have left to buy will be the pram, and I've promised myself an electric breast pump this time, and obviously new bottles and teats.

    Horrified to wake up this morning though and discover that I have outgrown 2 pairs of maternity trousers in my normal size already. I'm only 17+1 :eek:. Goodness only knows what size I am going to be when I finally have this baby! I have a feeling I'll be wearing a king size duvet cover by then as nothing else will go near me :rotfl:
