Morning everyone !!
Well I had my first lie in of Mat leave, but kept getting woke up so it wasnt the best in the world, but at least I didnt have to get up !!
No MrsT this morning??? Things may have started for her last night !!

SSS she is beautiful, please post BS, we love to read them all, even the scary ones (and it cant be much worse than my DDs birth!!)
re fainting, I fainted at 9 weeks this time and got blue lighted to the hospital as it took me a while to come round and even then I was overly groggy, but they couldnt find anything wrong with me other than a few heart palpatations which they said were not fast enough to cause sudden fainting. Eating small amounts regularly and drinking plenty of fluid helped me, and I would still get light headed every now and then, but if I get some sugar or carbs in me quickly I'm OK again.

Hope everyone else is OK

Sugar - Congratulations on the birth of Leila, she is gorgeous! :beer: I am looking forward to the birth story too!

Congrats to greent and Sugar! Leila is beautiful and I look forward to the birth story.

Carla - There is also this place which sells US foodstuff. Again, probably not cheap!

We bought/ordered a cotbed yesterday. Got the Cossatto Hogarth one in white/oak. They only had the cot top changer in pine, but I am confident that the Mothercare one will fit it fine. Fingers crossed!

We have the Cossatto Hogarth too (we bought the dark wood one) and we're really pleased with it, it's really chunky and solid. I can't help with the cot top changer though, as we bought the matching changing unit.

Thanks Molly. We did think it felt like good solid wood which should last a few years. Can't wait to get it home so we can see what the nursery looks like. They weren't going to deliver until September, but we didn't want to wait as we are trying to get organised and see how much space we have etc.

Sami - I think you asked yesterday, yes, we are planning on having another one soon after (as long as I am coping ok!!). We are both getting on, so don't want to leave it too late.

Its not overly high carla, just above average.
A reading of 4 - 6 is perfect for most people and once you start going above 6 then there is a concern, but most people with Type 2 diabeties have levels of up to 12 - 15.
They will take a reading of the last 12 days ( i think) and see what you average, or some like you to take daily readings just before food and give them in tot the hospital at the end of a set period of time.

i havent looked at any prams yet.am 29weeks, but its only cos i have my Silver Cross in pristine condition from DD - i refuse to buy a double buggy. i just dont like any of them. Going to get a buggy board for DD, am in the car mostly so fingers crossed it shouldnt be too ackward!
Thats seems like quite a good wee bargain there though nancmat! could you not start to pay money off it, and they keep it held over for you!!??

If this is the right one, then its cheaper in boots !!
