Snow Patrol. We had tickets for Bangor last year, and couldn't go. I saw Gary Lightbody in Belfast once and nearly wet my pants I was so excited.

I was reading a disturbing article about slings yesterday, can't find it now though, I'll look. Apparently they've been to blame for a few deaths because the babies couldn't breathe. If I remember correctly you're quite into walking etc, I think the carriers are supposed to be really good for that, although if it's hiking etc you'd have to invest in a good one I think.

Thanks Gilly.... If you went to the gig that close it may induce labour- you'd certainly remember it then.

Yep, fairly into walking- would be nice to take dogs out and baby too, pushing a pram would slow us quite a bit. Missing taking dogs out, used to take them for the odd run....

I know I'll get laughed at for this, but prams seem so huge for such a small person!

I think the 3 wheeled sorta "sports" buggys are good for off roading if you like that term, but generally the carriers would be easier, for how long though I'm not sure. As soon as baby starts getting to a substantial weight I think it would be hard to be carrying them for long periods like that. Could always enlist the Dad to do that job, big strong men and all that... :eek:

I guess they're big for them to grow into, if you had a lot of shopping to do for instance, even when they're a good bit older, it's practical to have something to sit them in when there little legs get tired.

I bought a Sleepy Wrap to carry her around in sometimes as a change from the buggy, read around loads online about different sorts and this one seemed the most like what I wanted. My OH sent me a link to that article about a baby that died, but this one said the newborn baby was in the carrier under her clothes which is always going to be a bad idea to start with. Plus she was in Australia so maybe there was an overheating issue too? There's bound to be a small element of risk with anything, buggies have snapped and trapped kids fingers, you could let go of it for a split second and it could roll away etc etc so I think as long as you follow instructions and use your common sense, then any risk will be minimal.

I think with everything there's always a risk, and you need to use common sense.... INitially I think we'll probably do little more than visit family, so a seat in the car and a wrap should be fine- will find a cool-looking one now!

A small bit similar here- have BH's and heartburn also seems on the menu- keep pacing around our reception in work to try ease it. Hope it's not too bad for you Winnie! Are you very bad with SPD still?

Yeah I am, its getting worse on a daily basis too I would just love to try and walk them off but I'm literally stuck on the sofa where DH put me this morning!

The BH's themselves aren't painful as such, just annoying because I want the real ones to start!

Have you got something for your heartburn? You've reminded me I must get DH to grab more gaviscon on his way home :cool:

Aww Mirror, what a lovely photo! You look beautiful and so all happy!

Lirin, sorry your heartburn is playing up. Mine has just calmed down a bit from the bad patch the past week so you have my sympathies! Steady doses of gaviscon (pah! bleurgh) and Friij chocolate milkshakes are being maintained. Not sure if its psychsematic, but i swear the Friij's work better than the gaviscon. And taste a hell of alot nicer as well!
