Morning all. I've been awake since 6. Baby has taken to being it's most active early in the morning!

Got the chassis of the pushchair delivered last week so set it up and had a play around with it yesterday. I love it! Everything is so easy to fold and put back up and I love how the pushchair part and the carry cot just clip on and off the chassis (it's the Oyster). Just need some adaptors for the maxi cosi car seat and we're ready to go. Was pushing it around and then realised there will be a baby inside it in a few months, an actual baby! Scary.

France tomorrow so lots of packing, washing and tidying to do. Didn't do last night's washing up either so should crack on with that.

Hope we get some turtlemoose baby news today!

Morning everyone, hope you slept well. I've slept brilliantly the past few nights in my new bedroom, I don't know if it's cos it's so peaceful up there, or if I'm just more relaxed now its done...!

After saying yesterday I hadn't had anymore twinges, in the evening I had some really strong ones! My sister was round and I didn't want to say anything in front of her (she'd get all over-excited), so just had to quietly sit there rubbing my tummy and breathing! Calmed down again overnight though, so I guess my body is just having a practice run!

Anyone doing anything jubilee-y today? I'm going to my mums for a little tea party with various family members, and we're going to watch the pageant on tv. DH is going to our new niece's christening, I feel a bit bad for not going but I think a 5-hour round trip would be a bad idea at this stage!

Hope everyone has a lovely day...I wonder if turtle is having mummy cuddles yet?!

Good morning. Is anyone else having trouble ordering online from Babies R Us? I've been trying to order a crib since last night but the website keeps shutting down and it's driving me nuts!

Triangle

Big fat squishy hugs to everyone who might be in need of one :grouphug: hope peopel are feeling a bit better today. Agree about that song, very very moving.

Enjoy your tea party BB We were going to go to local town fete/party and then have a BBQ this afternoon - but the weather is so crap, not just rainy but cold too Still, we shall try and be British about it and soldier on

emsbet

Have fun at your jubilee parties BB and triangle and anyone else who is going to one. We aren't going to anything and as the weather is so crap today we may paint the kitchen.

Bellola, glad you're having fun with your pram. I only got to play with ours in the shop, as it's still in the box at my PILs house, 90 miles away.

Scottishchick, I haven't tried to order from the website sorry, we went in store instead.

Good luck Turtlemoose!

I have a question on sterilisers. I was thinking of getting the Philips Avent SCF271/51 Microwave bottle steriliser which is only £16.84 on Amazon and has really good reviews. Has anyone used it and would they recommend it or another one particularly?

I was going to post the link here but it doesn't come up properly, are we not allowed to post links to external sites?

Also would anyone recommend a breast pump, and if so which one? I don't want to spend too much but heard that electric ones are better than manual. But I've been told that expressing milk is actually pretty hard work and many mothers prefer the convenience of breastfeeding. I'd like to have the option though so that my husband could feed the baby as well and give me a break

Thanks guys!

sexymouse

Here's the link for you AMC - you should be able to post links, but I'm not sure how many posts you have to have had to do so.

AMC1979

Thanks Sexymouse - I posted the link but it came up with lots of exclamation marks in the url. Not sure why!

I also have a dilemma; I was thinking of getting the Philips AVENT SCF663/47 Advanced Feeding Bottles (Slow Flow, 260 ml, 4-Pack) - the teats are suitable for baby of 1 month but I figured I should get the newborn teats as well in case I don't get on with breastfeeding. Has anyone tried these too and if so how did you get on?

I read on Amazon that the Advanced ones are better than the Classic as the Classic can leak. Any advice?

Thanks!

Morning all!
Well what a miserable morning was supposed to be going to a boat party on the Thames to watch Lizzie on her parade, but looking unlikely now. So not sure what to do instead. Might just have a lazy day, think I overdid the walking etc yday.
Turtlemoose hope you're doing well and if not already are near to cuddles. looking forward to hearing some news
Bellola hope you have a great time in France.
AMC the medela pumps have been recommended a lot. I got the mini one I forgot its proper name though now. Also a few peeps have said the electric sterilisers have been more convient than microwave ones. I don't know really as I've not had chance to try them yet.
RJH glad you're feeling better.hope you get your revision done. Perfect weather for doing it though.
BB hope You're ok and the twinges aren't too painful.
Not heard this Ed Sheeran song, part of me wants to google it but I think I'll wait until I'm not as tearful.
Received an email yday from FIL with a pic of me and oh nearly six years old (I think) the pic not us. All it said was "remember the slim days" well we've both put on a bit of weight, contentment I think not massively. Anyway I fought my hormones to avoid an extremely nasty and personal email back by calling him a t0sser on faceebook. I didn't mention who it was though. Anyway he (FIL) was upset and called oh. Not me to apologise. My mum was next to me when I got the email and she thought exactly the same he was calling me fat. Needless to tell you ladies that that's not what you wanna hear when you wake up. His version was he found the photo and thought it would make up smile. Maybe if he didn't put such a smart comment it may have. Apparently just meant to say OH is a bloater and not aimed at me. Anyway cue massive arguments here last night. IH badgered me the whole night to take down the comment, however has he badgered his dad to apologise or see now it looked.....has he heck! Anyway today is a new day, OH doesn't seem to be too grumpy with me. Or maybe he doesn't want me crying again lol.

Time for breaking I think here.....maybe eggs on toast yummy

Have a good day everyone xxxx
