Hope the car gets fix before baby comes!! Enjoy your time of before baby comes - make sure you relax lots Bet you cant wait to meet bubs now.
Good idea to wait on the wraps front - good to see how you get on with them. I think im going to save around £50 a mth using mine (but do have 2 in nappies and using washable wipes) I used to buy when on offer and cheap as possible - but its still such a good saving.
Well done on getting to under 17k:j:j

Thanks M2MG

I definitely can't wait to meet bubs, it's so exciting. I'm really looking forward to using the nappies, it'll make me feel very MSE and green If it all goes ok and we have another - it'll be even more savings so all good.

Car's looking expensive to get repaired which is very annoying. Still got MOT to come in Sept and tax in Aug - I did have some money put aside for these things but I'll probably have to use that for the repairs now. I still reckon it won't pass MOT either as last MOT garage said exhaust would need doing next time. At this rate I will have spent enough to buy a new one! Grrrr!

Oh well not much I can do about it - it's all we have atm.

Hope everyone's Mondays are going well.

Ha ha, glad to see you have one too! And well done, on the percentage paid, you're a fifth of the way there! :T

Hope all is going well, bet you're so excited counting down the days till you get to meet baby!

:wave: Beccie - Ooh a fifth sounds quite good doesn't it!? :A:

Definitely counting down the days, I'm finding it a bit weird that there is no certainty about when the baby will arrive though, I usually like to be in control of everything and make plans - this is throwing me right out!

Hope things are good with you.

Quick update on the car - might not be as bad as first thought. We have it running anyway and that only cost £50 so with any luck it will just have been that problem and not the expensive one - time will soon tell I'm sure!

D2GDF - When is your due date.

My cousin went in on weds and had her little boy yesterday - Leyton Jack. She was under consultancy care as they thought he would be huge. Her last son was 8lb 15 - same as my DD2 so not massive.

Leyton ended up only being 7lb 10 so unsure what they doctors were predicting!!

He looks gorgeous and i can't wait to meet him - hopefully will manage to keep my broodiness at bay!!

I hope you are keeping well xx

Hi all - and hi LK! :wave:

Well I have some news for you!! I had my beautful baby girl last Saturday, she weighed in at 5lbs 14oz and we've called her Olivia. She is absolutely amazing, we love her so much and feel so lucky to have her. This was really the best experience of my life and has put a lot of things in perspective. She was weighed again today and has gone down to 5lb 5oz but she is very strong and feeds well. So far the bf is going ok although she is far too small to fit into any of her cotton nappies at the moment.

I therefore may not have as much time to update for a little while but I'll pop on when I can - I hope you are all ok.

:beer:

Congratulations on the birth of Olivia - such a lovely name! She is soooo small 5lb 5oz at the moe - all mine were born between 8.5lb and 9lb so must be like giants compared to her!! She will soon fit into her lovely fluffy nappies
