Ive got my pram all delivered etc , cant wait to play with it , lol. We have the quinny buzz in black (much to my mums disgust )

That's what I wanted too .... I had a Quinny Zapp for #3 for a buggy and it is the best buggy I've ever had. So nice to push.

We have a cat flap and a cat ban on bedrooms.. so they leave gift in the kitchen and the back room!.

I have to wake up to turn over now and my back wakes me up hurting if I move.. It is better with the memory foam topper but I am struggling to not take loads of painkillers.. Walking is painful too especially the first 20 feet! and getting up the stairs isn't good.. so of course I need a wee every 2 minutes!

We were kindly given the frame and buggy bit ( only used for two weeks before their child started walking ) so just had carry cot and car seat to buy , so was alot cheaper than it wouldve been.We are using carrycot as moses basket for during the day naps as we dont have much room in the flat.I really wanted to get a bright colour but we are team yellow and wanted something that would do boy or girl

Oh I know the feeling!!!!

I've not had a full night's sleep for weeks because of turning over in bed. I dread to think how much worse it would be if I didn't have a memory foam topper on the mattress. I can't wait to be able to move in bed without yelping in agony. We live in a 3 storey house and our room is on the top floor, and the bathroom is on the 2nd, so it's a constant battle with stairs. I sometimes have to come down backwards almost on my knees as coming down forwards is too painful.

I'm determined I will get one at some point

I love my Silver Cross as a pram, but not so keen on it once the second seat unit goes on when they start to sit up. It gets a bit bulky. My plan is to save for a Quinny Buzz so from a year old I can have one of those, and it would last then until walking time. I won't need the carrycot or car seat bit by that time either.

I stop twice on the way up.. and once on the way down.. it kills me..

It was getting in bed that really distressed me last time.. I couldn't get my feet off the floor into bed and would absolutely not ask for help. and it would take me 10 minutes to turn over and about 25 to get out of bed and get to the loo.. I hated it...

And.. colours of pushchairs.. having vast pushchair experience I wouldn't consider anything that wasn't black or very dark.. and never navy.

Good plan MrsS- they sometimes do good deals when your just buying the buggy part

It's the most horrendous pain ever .... mine clicked so loud this morning trying to get out of bed. I'm now at the point of not being able to put my own underwear on due to not being able to lift my legs up off the floor to do it. I'm amazed I've managed this long to be honest - I only have 7 weeks and 4 days left til D day!

Maybe I'll cut DHs budget in half and tell him the other half is going in the Quinny fund :rotfl:

I was ok last time until my kidneys went on strike at 35 weeks.

I am struggling with pants now and have to sit on the bed and lean right forward and sit back up between feet or I send my BP wild!
