Congratulations Bailey!

Yes I'd noticed that too. I expect you're right about why they haven't let us know yet but perhaps we should add on another column to the list called "assumed have delivered" or something like that so we can add people to that to keep the list moving on? I wouldn't want to delete them as I'm sure they will be back to MSE at some point - after all who can keep away!

What do people think?

Best wishes

Just in case anyone's not seen it, there's a good post about the Toys R Us club.

We'd decided on a particular travel system the other weekend and it was cheapest at Toys R Us anyway. Got there (already armed with a £5 off voucher from the local paper) and the sales assistant said if we joined the club (pardon the pun!) there was another voucher in that catalogue for £10 off travel systems. There's also a £10 off cots voucher amongst others so definitely worth joining if you're getting your cot from Toys R Us anyway

Ebay is great for travel systems. I got the Graco Mosiac travel system with auto base, raincover & cosytoes for £155.00 including delivery. The travel system on it's own without autobase, cosytoes and raincover is £167.99 in babies r us.

Think that's a great idea Money Maker Shaker - only it means I'm closer to the top!!

Just finished work at the office yesterday - hurrah! I work 3 days there and 2 days freelance. I'll still be doing my work from home for a couple of weeks yet, if the little one can hang on! I'm hoping for a Jan 07 baby (EDD 23/12) but as she appears to have swapped sides this week, I reckon we may be in for a pre-Xmas one. :eek:

Interesting fact I learnt at my birthing class - from 30-ish weeks most babies lie on your right-hand side. They then swap over to the left before engaging and then lie with their back sticking out of the front of your tummy (unless you're unlucky and end up with a back-to-back). According to the midwife they have no idea why this happens, it just does!

I'm taking the movement as a sign that baby is getting ready to meet us, so a bit excited about that. Got to write my birth plan tonight ready for a final check on Sat at the birth centre I want to go to. It's all happening a bit fast now!!

Hi there. I'm thinking I might just have to ask if I can join you guys - "I Wanna Lose Weight" was great but as I have just found out I am pregnant I suspect it's not quite the best place for me to be right now!

I'm Eels, I'm 25 and this is my first - I only found out yesterday after doing a home test (OK, OK, I did 5 just to be sure!) so I've yet to see the doc and ask all the questions etc. I am absolutely terrified but really excited too.

Money's going to be really tough as we've only recently bought our first house but I just know we can manage with some sound moneysaving and lots of old styling!

One question for you guys though - will my boobs stop hurting at any point in the next 8 months, cos they're agony and I reckon I'm only about 5 weeks!

Becles

Congrats Eels :beer:

My boobs hurt for the first couple of weeks or so. I found normal underwired bras to be uncomfortable, so I bought some non wired maternity bras early on. They're not the most sexiest item, but they are incredibly comfy!

I'm 13 weeks and they still have a bit ache now and again, but it's not too bad.

Have a search as there have been a few threads in here and Money Saving Old Style about cutting costs for baby items.

congrats to all pregnant ladies and new parents

id like to join you all too, im 18wks 5 days with my second child.we have a 20 month old dd called sophie as well. Im not having the best time in all honesty, its been confirmed today that i have spd though ive known for a few weeks, as well as the consultant being determined ill have pre eclampsia again this pregnancy (shes a bit doom and gloom really!). Other than the spd im feeling good the last week, sickness seems to have finally gone and i can actually manage to get into the kitchen cooking and baking again!

Im hoping for a homebirth and so far all but the consultant are keen on the idea and she hasnt said no so its looking set so far :j

Hope your all well and i look forward to getting to know you

Sue
