Am I the only one who hasn't quite realised they are going to have a baby in the next 4 months?! I still don't think it has actually sunk in yet LOL:D I post on here and talk about the baby and I'm still feeling sick most days but I still don't quite believe it!

Sometimes when I imagine having another baby in the house I have a wee panic This is a very much wanted and planned baby but I'm still a bit scared :o:o

I wish I'd been offered a flu jab... DD1 was off school with lurgy last week and now it looks like I've got it, I feel like death but still have both girls to look after

Teenie, it's just started sinking in with me, we went to MIL's yesterday to get the baby carseat, moses basket and some other bits from her loft where we left them after Oli grew out of them. Seeing them all around again has made it real, and I have tiny knitted baby jumpers drying round the house now - a couple that were knitted for Oli, some that were knitted for OH as a baby by his grandma, and one little cardigan that my friend has done specially for this little one.

I feel much more relaxed about it all this time though, I was so panicky and worried about the first time. This time, I'm just looking forward to enjoying it all. I think knowing what to expect helps. Like I know it hurts, but I know I can manage. And I remember a lovely midwife telling me last time "Just remember every time you get a contraction that it is one more pain out of the way, and one contraction closer to having your baby in your arms" - I think I might find that easier to remember this time :rotfl:

Congrats on team blue digital!

Im having a hospital birth, but because im high risk. The MW has said the reason im seeing the consultant is because of my high BMI not because of Lilys weight at birth.

Also we have very thin walls, so i wouldn't have a home birth even if i could. Although it would be a good revenge for the boy next door and his music, mwahahah.

Still more belly than bump, my jeans just shape it nicely :rotfl:

Dont worry Teenie it hasnt sunk in with me yet either, and it wont until bubs is born.
Im just panicking about getting out in the mornings. DD is 5 and pretty self sufficient but DS is 3 and a lazy wee poo. He can do it all but either takes ages with me constantly moaning at him or I end up doing it myself. Add to that a small baby, very tired mum etc.
The baby will be popped in a all in one snow suit thingy until im more organised and out in his/her jammies.


After I panic about that i forget im pregnant again until I cant myself in the mirror. TBH I have no idea how im going to cope with 3.
