    Morning ladies

    Lovely bump saz :)

    I had the best nights sleep I've had in ages last night. Had a full block of 4 hours without waking it up! (it's normally 2s atm - think my body is getting me prepared for when baby is here!)

    Going out for lunch (again!!) with a friend, it;s a 2 for £10 pub we have a £5 off voucher so will be cheap and cheerful, then tonight DH and I are going to the cinema with our £1 cineworld vouchers. A real MSE day, altho I will have to get icecream at the cinema so that will bump things up a bit lol

    I think like you Rach we will be tidying up the spare room and putting things in the loft to make room for bubs. I need to stop buying stuff too, but it has been mainly clothes at the mo. Until we have cleared out the spare room I don't think we will buy any baby furniture and possibly not until I'm 26 weeks as I have a week off so can take deliveries etc. I don't think that is too late and also we will have a good idea of the flavour (hopefully!).

    Feel for my 'friend' on facebook at mo she is 25 weeks and started contracting two days ago, in hosp at mo hasn't had the baby so hopefully it will cook until it is due.

    Enjoy the day looking forward to tomorrow is my nephew's 2nd bday party and should be a gorgeous day.

    I felt him kick me last night for the first time! :j

    For the past few days I've been getting a funny feeling, like bubbles popping but last night I was in bed and OH put his hand on my stomach, bubba musn't have liked it cos he gave OH's hand an almighty kick! I didn't half jump! :rotfl:

    Hi ladies

    I've been thinking about prams and have the quinny buzz 3/4 in mind as I think the mamas&papas pramettes are still to bulky for me.I'm tiny with back problems so I need something that I won't struggle with.
    I was thinking of getting a maxi cosy car seat with it but will I still need the carrycot? Also hubby is tall so need it to adjust in height.Anybody had/got or tested one?
    Love can tame the wildest

    I used to play in mud all the time when i was little - Hubby used to eat dirt (as in plant pot dirt), ewwww - lol he says he was about 5 and loved the taste of it - he also used to eat grass....weirdo, lol! And he is pretty damn hardy - he never gets sick!
    I used to take mud baths with my neighbour, he was about the same age as me (we were about 5yrs old hehe) and we used to fill an old baby bath with sloppy mud and water and get nekkid and swish about in it...Not sure if I ever ate anything gross though!!

    Oh BTW hubby passed his driving test last week, YAY first time round too! We should be getting a car, just something small like a Polo, at the end of the month. I so can't wait!!! Bless, he made a promise to bump (way back months ago) that daddy will drive him home from hosp - it wasn't looking likely but now looks like he might be keeping that promise, lo! :D

    Brought a tear to my eye, how sweet :) and :j
    Yup have to agree its girls my DD is the same she can talk the hind legs off a donkey we have to tell her to give her mouth a rest occasionally :-)

    My ds2 is like this....drives us mad, we literally have to tell him to stop for at least a few minutes:rotfl:

    We've all got the plague, well a sickness bug anyway! Started with ds3 on Monday, me on Wednesday and then ds1&2 and dh last night....Thankfully me and ds1 are almost recovered and dh isn't too bad, but the older two are quite poorly and have been tucked up in bed pretty much all day:( Has really wiped us out though, I am still exhausted from it.

    Really want to get our garden sorted out, it is a complete mess.... so am looking online for all the stuff I would love but probably won't be able to afford:p
    Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot,
    Nothing is going to get better. It's not.

    we have this pram , it is great easy to steer etc, we do have the carrycot which is ok but in next week or so he will be outgrown it , so its a lot of money for 2 months of use, it doies have a well padded seat , but Thomas looks tiny init , if you dont get the carrycot , i would def say get the cosytoes for it as it will make baby look nice and snug HTH , but i love my quinny and wouldnt be without it , also i found a great site for the parasols , as u dont need the extra clip , i ordered yesterday and got it today , heres there link and u can choose a colour to matxch the buggy,

    Dont forget that little Thanks button , only takes a sec

    Hi everyone, feeling better today. Going out tonight into town with dh for a few drinks. will be cola for me. Then think we will go for a meal to an indian, my fave. Not been out really out past couple of months as i have been too tired.

    Went to next today and bought a pair of cropped maternity jeans.

    Baby has been kicking today. Started this morning when i was having breakfast. Think he or she must like coco pops.

    Talking of dirt. I can't stand to get dirty at all. If i get any dirt on my clothes i have to change them.

    Ok we have been pushchair hunting and im not impressed at all. so far all i can find that is in our price range that isnt the size of a house is the phil & teds which im not overly keen on due to the seat being so low down at the back. Bearing in mind we dont have a car at the moment and was hoping not to have to bother with one for the forseable future we may have to plump for the phil & teds as i cant see me being able to get any of the others on the bus. the only other two i like is the icandy and the baby jogger but they cost a fortune and although i can get the money together for one i just cant warrant spending that much :-(

    Hi All,

    Does anyone have the Babystyle Oyster? I'm thinking of ordering one, what's the deal with buying the whole set i.e. the pram, the baby carrier and the carseat? Anyone know roughly how much that is in total and if there is a good website to order it??
