    Hi all

    We've finished sorting the rooms, I have a box of photos to sort through at some point and the cot to go in the baby's room when we get it from friends but we're almost there. Spare bed coming next monday (must book day off/work from home)...am hoping MiL has some bedding for that to save us buying any - I have a lovely cover which I've had for years which will go on top.

    am 16+1 now and definitely have more energy :) still tired in the evenings but feel human again at long last!

    Hope you manage to get there and have a look....I VERY nearly bought the iCandy peach blossom as my double, is that the one you are thinking of or the apple/pear..I think you can get them fairly reasonable on eBay now, esp since the peach/peach blossom came out.

    I am not sure what to do about a single, I don't really NEED one, I just HATE mine!! I have a Squicco 4 me..and it is awkward to push one handed, bulky and awkward to fold and Squeaky!!! I know if I just hang on 10wks then I will be using the double....

    Congrats Jolene:)

    I was thinking of the icandy pear but will have to wait and see i have resigned myself to the fact that a decent two seater is going to cost me a small fortune.

    Could you not just go and get a cheap buggy for now instead of a big expensive pushchair there were some really nice ones in mothercare yesterday it could tide you over for the 10wks if you can't manage the one you have ?

    Told you once you hit 16 weeks things improve!

    I have however practically killed myself fitting this carpet.. BUT.. it is done now and I don't have to fit another one in the near future!

    I do have a Mamas and Papas Kato too, but I don't like that either!! Fussy Moi:p:o

    I was thinking about getting one I really like and then I can keep it for after ds3 is out of the double and I only need a single again....But i know I should wait as anything I buy now, I will probably 'go off'' by then!!

    Ah, i'm sure I will get something in the end.

    Yeah I am sure the pears aren't too pricey secondhand....or were you after new?

    I have almost done myself in, in the garden today...we are trying to clear it/prep it ready to rotavate and lay new turf (and build a sepreration fence to the new lawn and paint all the fences and lay the edging and put the slate down!!) after we come back from our trip to york....I ended up breaking the fork though:o so need to go and buy another one tomorrow.

    How many weeks are you now Pigpen?

    Sounds like we're all trying to get sorted this weekend! We've set about stripping (4 layers of) wallpaper off the spare room, ready for the big move-around. I'm like you Rach - I have more energy now (just turned 15 weeks) but am exhausted after about 20 minutes of it...

    :hello: hey there everyone, I am graduating from the less than 12 weeks thread. I'm 13+3 with my 1st (although sadly 3rd pregnancy), had my scan last week (my 3rd) and all is well so far. starting to look ahead now and thinking that it might actually be happening for us. although we have no clue what we need and having been lurking on these boards for a couple of weeks its all a bit overwhelming. I am starting to feel more human again now, have been suffering with nausea/bloating and exhaustion since week 5 so its nice to have a bit of energy back and also be able to eat healthy foods again without wretching, I was worried I was going to end up with an undernourished baby :o.

    BTW, I have worked out that RLT is raspberry leaf tea, but what is this EPO everyone keeps talking about, thanks

    xx
