Hey lovely peeps!

So sorry for delay I have only just got out of hospital so haven't had time to come on here. Apologies for not reading the last weeks posts but I have a good excuse as you probably know.

Zachary William was born by emergency CS at 5.18am on 21st May weighing in at 9Ibs 2oz.

Somewhat of a story and not too sure whether to write my birth story or not. It was a prolapse cord. Anyway, I will ponder whilst I sleepwalk around this 'new mummy again' world! I'll be back, just need to get into swing of things first!

Hugs, love, labour vibes and everything else to all you lovely friends who have been great company during this journey.

Barking x

MoneySaver - That one was a set of 2 from m&s, just the standard non underwired as opposed to maternity ones. I think it was £12 for the box of 2. If you have one nearby though, and they stock the maternity stuff, can really recommend the Peacocks Nursing bra, £4, looks pretty, undoes easily for feeding and really ruddy comfy...

Obviously back from town...... i defo dont think i should go out by myself anymore LOL totally overdid it, obviously forgot anything i bought I'd have to carry. Hit some of the charity shops in town and was finding loads of books for DH. He likes a few authors so I kept finding ones that he hasnt got yet, and at like £2 a go or less, seems silly to not buy them LOL
Bought myself some fat knickers WOOOHOOO my butt might be covered once more, got a nice overbody bag ideal for going out with baby as I cant be doing with a shoulder bag with pushchair etc. And got fathers day cards, thankyou presents for parents for helping us so much with baby, and also found some good baby bits in charity shops as well, just clothes but the right size for the season when he's born. Kept thinking if it was nice and hot summer im gonna struggle, and at like 20p a go..... doesnt matter what he does to them, but also picked up some brand new bits still with tags!

but still got totally exhausted and it was raining but i had too many bags to put up umbrella, and couldnt sit down on any of the benches etc as they're all wet, debated going to starbucks (craving a coffee now) but it was packed......

oh bought some munchies as well shhhhhhhhhhhh noone else need know about th 2 packs of oreos or the 4 pack of mars bars

Oh and KK - Its perfectly normal to panic about it, I had the same thing. Just keep a list going of everything you have got, whats essential that you need to get and then a list of things that would be nice to have. Ideally you pay very little for the essentials and get the wanted bits for free/gifts

TigTag just had a thought....could KK's OH still get paternity pay seeing as he was working????

No because he wouldnt be able to have it until the baby was born anyway

I'm not sure if there is a MA alternative but thats worth checking out.

:rotfl::rotfl:I'm impressed with your determination:D Unfortunately my willpower isn't that strong...I prefer the non queasiness a bit more than I like my chocolate:) Although I haven't tried bubs with dark chocolate yet.....hmmm, this may be where I'm going wrong:D:D:D

the sick thing doesn't bother me so much with babies coz it's just their reflexes and its just milk that comes back up...completely different in adults, it's usually full of chunks/messy and self-induced and..OMG I can feel my stomach turning now:rotfl:....and gratuitous cartoon puking..makes me gag coz it's unneccesary Eugh!

At least you've got a meeting to wait for...I'm just waiting for 5:30 to hurry up and get here:D


How organised are you?:T very impressed:D Had to laugh at the white good ganging up on you comment..had images of you huddled in a corner while the whole kitchen stood over you:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

The thought of sick makes me feel sick, i too can't deal with adult sick. I can deal with baby sick. Im waiting for half five too as dh finishes work then and we are going to take our dog for a walk to the field.
