    i have got 2 weddings coming up in the near future and will require a strapless bra. i am not looking forward to trying to find one that is comfortable.

    Tinks I'm having the same problem. My only comfy bra is at least a size too small but its the only one I can bare wearing at the moment. Boobs hurt so much at the end of the day though I really need to sort out something decent that fits.

    My little one had her last day of nursery today and i was all teary when the carers were saying goodbye to here. My other little one will start in jan so its not like we will never see them again. felt a bit of a wally and quickly hurried her out before they noticed.

    Not had the car this week so not really done any food shopping. Also keep forgetting to take buggy out of the car and i cant cope with shopping bags and DS, hence takeaway tonight. think it will be chip shop.

    only 1 of the 3 remaining at primary school is having a resident teacher the other 2 are having new teachers.. that should be interesting. DS3 is off up to high school in September as well so only has a week left.

    I have never been upset when mine have left nursery/primary school.. it is not a big deal to them.. they can't wait .. it means they are getting big and they love it!!

    totally agree with you there kitkat i think anyone doing pregnancy with other responsibilities such as children are amazing! i just dont know how i would cope. im finding it hard enough to look after myself at the moment!!

    my auntie says she thinks she still has her stand from the moses basket so shes gonna have a search for me:j

    going into town tomorrow (if i have the energy) to start getting bottles etc as they are next on my list of things i need. but i dont have a clue what to buy or how many i'll need!

    was going to try breastfeeding but ive seriously went off the idea i dont know why i just think its not for me.although i would love to do it i know personally i wont have the patience etc that it will require! plus my nipples are in a horrible state already, i have to shield them in the shower lol the pressure beating on them is like hell :eek: plus my OH still thinks its ok to just cop a feel OUCH:mad:

    going to a friends later and she is highlighting my hair :D cant wait as my roots are down to my ears :rotfl:

    It feels like day 1 of my usual 3 day labours have begun.. it is most unpleasant.. hopefully it is another trial run but it doesn't feel like it.. I might get my Monday baby after all.. and be home in time for my Ikea delivery on tuesday :p

    Bottles.. 2 little ones for the little feeds in the first few weeks.. they come in for water etc later on to.. and 6 full size ones.. tis usually sufficient.

    Well pigpen, I hope it's a trial run for you! You did say Monday would be convinient, lol, Baby must've heard you. When it gets nearer my due date, I'll be ringing my mum, just to check response times, lol. Touch wood, not had any braxton hicks yet and when it comes to the day, I'm sure I'll tell them I don't wanna push, you can't make me, it'll hurt!

    Well our local town is shut down for the weekend again there is another protest going down about the new mosque the muslim community wants to build so you have pro mosque one end of the town and those against at the other end all the shops are in the process of being boarded up as we came through this afternoon it all gets rather silly if you ask me why the whole thing cannot go down peacefully is beyond me.

    I have 12 bottles all in the large size but then i will have two littlies on different milk so will need them.

    Dreambirdie my OH made the mistake of touching my breasts once my milk had come in after giving birth he is lucky he is not dead lol :-)

    I was getting ridiculous braxton hicks last time around and I was worried I wouldn't know the difference between them and contractions... But the old cliche is true... You do know when you're in labour!!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
