Thanks Glam. Still persevering with the RLT on your recommendation. Think baby likes it even if I don't. She has a real good wriggle after every cup. Up to 4 cups a day today I think. Though I might swap some of them for the tablets just to make life easier.

Glad expressing is getting better for you.

OK ladies - I've been moaning like mad about how big my thighs are so this morning I measured them and they are 58cm. 2cm short of the 60cm recommended to be healthy according to yesterdays news. So I am firmly back in my place and will shut up now.

God knows why I am up so early, too hot I think, but I'm going to go and have a cuppa and read the paper.

Have a good day all

Morning ladies,

I'll keep going with the RLT and the calcium, Glam. Hope I go back to pre pregnancy shape quickly.

Plan of action for today is to vacuum the house before it gets too hot, suppose to be 27 degrees today! And then pop to the next village to put a couple of cheques in the bank, check in the little Boots for bargains and the many charity shops for bigger baby clothes.

I spent about 1 1/2 hours on ebay yesterday looking at reusuable nappies, as I realised I needed a few more wraps to go with the bambino mio system I'm using, and some more all-in-one nappies for when baby is bigger. Got my eye on quite a few, hoping to get some bargains.

My dad popped around yesterday with the three baskets I'd taken up to mums on sunday to line with oilcloth. Thought these would be more useful than cotton fabric ones, if they are storing bath stuff.

Have a restful one if you can today, ladies.

How long to the tend to keep first time mums in hospital thesedays? like if the birth all went ok and baby was feeding etc, or is that like a how long is a piece of string question?

Bear - I know I was like "but I like Charlies Ark and I think it would look good in a kids room regardless of sex lol"

Ahhh good idea about the ice cubes!

No I mean an American Style one, we have looked at them in the shop and the freezer part is still like twice the size of the one we have now lol (yes its tiny lol)

Thanks karen1907

Glam - thanks for that review on the pump cos I think thats the one I want, how many bottles did you buy? I dont know how many to get? like I dont know how much we can express (I guess that is another length of string question?)

Morning ladies. Not sure why I am awake so early (although not as early as Harley - this is your first week of leave lady! You are meant to be having long lies!!!).
Been up since 6.30am - decided that I would make DH some breakfast as he was going to work a bit earlier so he can finish earlier for his half day. So been up and made scrambled eggs on toast and tea for him and then couldn't get back to sleep. The weather here is awful. All of the roads are flooded due to the heavy rain! Might go and make myself some breakfast now since I am awake.

congratulations xmaslolly:j:T:beer:

I'm sure your little one will love it as much as you.

American-style fridge frezer do look very stylish, be careful not to keeo onions or garlic in the fridge if you have a water dispenser, as they can make the water taste funny.

Refilled the ice cube holders last night after your post. Had terrible backache last thing, probably just overdoing it, but it made me think he was coming early!

Glam is this the one you have got: http://www.tommeetippee.co.uk/product/new_manual_breast_pump/

Do you know how much it is in the event? (I dont know where you have all got your prices from lol I cant find any info lol)

If I buy that pump, am I right in thinking I dont need to buy the steriliser I posted about yesterday, or would you recommend getting one as well as I get the impression the one you get with the pump only sterilises one bottle at a time?

Hi everyone,

I found out I was pregnant yesterday so I thought I'd come and introduce myself. I lurked on the TTC thread for a while.

DH and I have been TTC for about 4 months, so it didn't take too long. Infact this month I'd convinced myself it hadn't worked again after taking a cheapie test 3 days early and getting a negative. My periods have always been very regular so when it hadn't turned up by Sunday I took another cheapie test and got the faintest of faint lines. So I spent all of Sunday getting myself worked up, taking a million tests, some of them with nothing and some of them with faint lines. Went out and got a First Response yesterday and the second pink line came up as clear as day!:j

I'm 24 and DH is 27 and this is our 1st pregnancy so we're both very nervous at the moment, although it doesn't seem quite real yet!

So that's me! I look forward to getting to know you all and I'm sure I'll be picking your brains very soon!

Muso x
