I got my Angelcare sound and movement monitor using my vouchers. It's only £74.46 at the moment and we had £30 of vouchers so got it for less than half the price most other place sell it at!

Is there anything big you've left to get? If not you can maybe use some to get small bits (blankets, sheets, bibs, changing mats or similar)? Or things that you made need later on?

I'm thinking a monitor, changing mats, cotton wool and maybe a few vests or something might do it for now.

I can't store anything for later (odd housing situation which involves 3 moves from now to January (awesome).

Rebekah - my antenatal classes arent for another 3 weeks, i want them now incase baby comes early! lol have fun!

unfortunately we dont get a tour of our maternity unit with the NHS classes but a 2 hour session which is free via another organiser does a tour. i am on the waiting list as these classes are so popular.

i am also thinking of attending a class at my local yoga centre which covers some preg yoga, breathing, hypnobirthing etc it costs £54 for 6 sessions which are an hour and a half long. might sign up next week when i am back from my hols. they finish 2 weeks before my due date though so baby better not come early.

at my 28 week midwife appointment i measured 27cm which she said was fine but still makes me think my original due date is more true because i would have been 27 weeks at that point.

glad to see so many surprises on the due date list, as people have made me feel a bit abnormal for not finding out the sex. i actually quite like moving up the list, i am not in the scared stage yet but would like to get rid of this backache and now my knees are starting to feel the strain.

hope everyone is enjoying their weekend,

I downloaded those pregnancy relaxation CD's onto my iPod and listened to the first one this afternoon. OH caught me ASLEEP with dribble running down my face. A little too relaxed methinks...

Bah, good job I mentioned using the vouchers to get a baby monitor to my mum. She's already got me one. lol. I'm struggling for big things to pay for now...think we are nearly ready to address the clothing situation.

Why does nobody ever tell you that when you have babies you need batteries? My bouncer used 3 AA and 1 D, my swing uses 4 C batteries, the baby gym uses 3 size C, Ewan the dream sheep uses god knows what batteries. Am glad I just checked now lol.

Twinklie if you don't need anything don't buy it hun, when all the summer stock goes on sale I will start buying 6-9 months though but we've got nearly everything we need for now I think. Do you know which monitor she got you? There's so many different types now!

Oh and my family are doing my head in. My cousin is expecting a boy too and so they keep suggesting buying us the same things, I don't want the same things lol. We have completely different styles my cousin and her chap are a bit chavvy and into labels etc me and my OH are the complete opposite so as nice as it is to offer to buy an Adidas track suit I'd much rather have a couple of cute tshirts from Asda etc and my mums already criticising me for buying the baby his first AC/DC tshirt.

No idea what Ewan the dream sheep is!!

I need clothes...just wanteed to get bigger items out of the way first. So I've narrowed the spend down to changing mats (x2), changing bag and clothes.

As for the monitor, I'll find out tomorrow when she brings it round. Apparently, it tells you the room temperature as well and is shaped like an egg!

OMG you need a Ewan the Dream sheep lol. http://www.dreamsheep.co.uk
