It's difficult to control the urge to spend on the baby isn't it Even though we know we'll get given loads of clothes whenever we see a babygro or something with a lion on we have to buy it I think we bought too much too soon (already got car seat, base, buggy, cot, decorated the nursery etc) basically as soon as we were past the danger zone.

On the other hand, spreading the cost has been good - we've never spent more than we could clear the following month using our salaries (ie no outstanding CC debt so far, no use of savings) At least that's my excuse!

ahh, yes, I can't wait til I get past the "danger zone" so we can start buying cute little baby things! ml - I love how your family is lion-themed, so cute!!

mountainlioness

aless - thanks! Our absolute fave buy so far were the cutest ever little babygros, one with a male lion and cub, one with a female and cub with 'Daddy's/Mummy's pride and joy' on it. From GAP so really nice quality and totally overpriced We were also going to do the nursery safari themed but thought that might be a step too far so went for the underwater theme

DH roars at the bump too but yesterday he read that they don't like loud noises so decided to stop - bless!

Most of the lion stuff is allegedly for boys but we don't care - who's to say that girls aren't allowed lol

I saw a program on feotal development that said babies jump in the womb the first time they hear loud noises but then become desensitised to them... So maybe your baby does like it ml

Havn't caught up yet but I have a quick question..can anyone remember the website that tells you the recomended weight gain for each stage in pregnancy, I can't remember what site it was on and I can't find it in my history! Sami???

I'm not sure but i think it is mentioned on the babycentre emails each week?
there is a total weight gain calculator on babycentre

KT - I shall tell him that - he can then go back to roaring and blowing big fat raspberries on it

Chris did a wee on the potty this aft! :T

ml - that's so cute!! I totally agree that lions can be for girls, too! You should bring up the little cub watching Lion Man on SkyThree, lol...

Sami - I wonder if they do that in husband size (the t-shirt, not the wee!)

Aless - it is - we bought 3 in the end to take her up to a year old May well be going home outfit - will def post a photo on here. Just imagining her in her daddy's pride and joy outfit is making me all emotional :rolleyes:

We will of course read her Born Free when she's old enough too
