Morning fellow bumpers

I hope all had a nice weekend.

Firstly, massive congrats to all the new mummies and daddies *tries to remember them all from the big read-back* keith, kittykate, alfalfa, dipsy and chicky. (Really sorry if I've missed anyone!) Fab names, all of you - loving the influx of Amelia's!! It really is a lovely name. Wishing you all the best in parenthood!

Sequeena - congrats on viability! :T

Apricot - love the pram - definitely the one I'm going for too - just we don't know what colour as we're staying team yellow. Very cute outfit too!

Puzzled - we've gone for a jungle themed nursery too - we had decided on jungle chums from Babies'R'Us but they've since changed it to Jungle Fun (which is more green than yellow) which doesn't go with our yellow walls as much Currently scouring Ebay for bits and bobs.

Wendz - sounds exciting for you!! Hope all goes smoothly!!

Vroom - I'm really wishing this baby out soon for you.

Ermmm.... memory has now gone.

I'm 18+2 today. I know it's a bit premature, but we put our cot up at the weekend.:eek: We got it free from a friend and all the bits and bobs were in a carrier bag loose with no instructions so we wanted to put it up to make sure all bits were there. Now it's up, we don't want to take it down. It really brought it home that I'm actually going to have a baby to put in there. Eek!

Went to a car boot yesterday too and picked up a few vests etc for a couple of £. There were a few moses baskets there with stands too, one was £10 and a neutral colour but I decided not to go for it in the hope that there'll be a Jungle themed one there in the future - hope I don't regret that decision!!

Finally - am I the only one who is massively excited about the pending influx of babies!! I can't believe how many of you are due so soon - it's practically a baby a day!! If you ladies could time it so there is only one a day, that'd be great!!! :D:D:D:p

Oh - and massive labour vibes to the boldies.

Labour vibes to those that need them!

Fluffy so sorry to hear that hun, as PigPen says, take a deep breath and fill in that form, look forward to the time off and focus on bubs, as what will be will be sort of thing. I would imagine they'd be under more scrutiny if they picked you but fill in that form to the best of your ability so they see they can't lose you!

Apricot gorgeous outfit she will look soooo cute! Can't wait to see her with that on, 15 weeks to go :j
I need to have a think about our first outfit too, mum gave us one which is so pretty - however it's knitted so in July will be too warm.

Nice to have a 2.5 day this week so I can start to organise the back room and finish bits and bobs. Like you I also want to start to look at some of the more boring stuff like creams, pads etc which will all be essential and I know in the next few weeks my energy could start to dip again.

My ideal nappy bag is now one step closer as I won a really cute bottle insulating zippy bag thing on ebay, it is white with a blue design much more interesting than the all one block colour ones I'd seen on the weekend.

Keith I will have a read through soon - best to be prepared from what you say

Good morning everybody hope you are all doing good today.

Am sending the strongest labour vibes possible to all of the ladies in bold.

Nothing to report here today and there probably won't be either as the ms has stepped up a gear and is back to ferocity of the first 20 weeks where even water won't stay down so unfortunately plans are on hold.

Morning everyone,

Fluffysox - that is horrible you are going through that. Try not to think about it, there are more important things like your little baby.

Ddebski - yay for putting the cot up, does make things feel real!

I have had period type pains through most the night and still have them now, get the occassional one that seems to build a bit into worse pain? Don't know if this is the start?

Morning everyone

Thanks for all the advice, i thought a new mattress would be best

My ankle is now not sore at all after a good nights sleep so im going to keep an eye on it and see how it goes.

Keith, thank you for your story, i hope that everything goes smoothly from now on!!!

Wendz sorry, i dont know the answer to your question hope it is a sign of you making progress

pigpen and all others with SPD hope you had a good night.

As for me, nothing exciting to report apart from what felt like a lot more movement last night only 19 weeks but am feeling big flutters and a pulse which is exciting and OH is dying to feel baby move so keeps grabbing my "bump" every time i say ooooh lol Cant wait until he can feel it too!

Morning ladies, still here! Booked in for a sweep tomorrow, really scared about this induction so all labour vibes appreciated.

Thanks for the advice pigpen, its a dog in the background though lol :rotfl:she is a tiny bit smaller than our cats though!

Koalamummy-sorry your MS has come back, if it has gone before I'm sure it will again though hun x

Apricot-that outfit is gorgeous

Wendz-exciting that things may be progressing for you, sending labour vibes your way (and to other boldies).

Hope the pics have shown up this time!xx

Apricot

Wow Keith thanks for sharing the story, it brought a little tear to my eye too. Just hope Amelia is healthy and well from now onwards!

Ddebski :jyay for putting cot up - that must be exciting! Just a thought, have you looked on netmums for a Jungle themed moses basket? Moses baskets are quite often posted on my local Netmums pretty cheaply. Mine is just plain white as it's from my sister - couldn't turn down a freebie!:o

sparkle Im jealous of your 2.5 day week! Can't believe everything is coming closer now, seems like only yesterday we were posting on the less than 12 weeks thread!

wendz I have no idea but it sounds v promising so good luck!

Im really excited about all the impending babies too! :D Come on boldies get a move on we need some more cute babies to coo over!:rotfl:

bellabear_2

Keith, I've just read your story, that must have been terrifying for you and Nicole, wish you 3 all the best and a quick recovery for both mum and baby, thank you for posting it (I'm going to go and find a tissue now!)
