Morning ladies. Heavy nights sleep -lots of pain when I did turn over lol. Need to tidy up from the weekend today and try and clean the living room. Then I will get up and pull out all the baby clothes and start making a list. I am sooo behind. The baby could be here in 3 weeks LOL.

Don't feel too guilty we only got to that stage this weekend when the baby could have been due in a WEEK! - I still have a mountain of clothes washing to do and the living room seemed to get untidyed as we tidied the bathroom and bedroom!

Jordan, those designs look lovely very Ed Hardy.

Thank you all for your comments regarding yesterday, feeling better now just dissapointed.

We have most baby stuff already in storage and were planning on going through it all and having a day of baby however after the babies r us incident we weren't strong enough to go through all the clothes. At least they are all freshly washed etc so when we do go through it it is all ready to go so there is no rush.

OH is feeling guilty about not celebrating LadyBoyd and then when he does get excited and want to plan things he feels guilty for for that too. He is also comparing to last time so whenever he feels LadyBoyd kick it is encompassed by sadness too. This time last time we were busy reading baby books trying to absorb all we could this time we are busy reading bee books distracting us as much as possible.

Sorry for the depressing posts lately, I will cheer up soon. I am generally an optimistic person (Honest!)

Well I worked at a studio we had some HUGE ed hardy prints on the wall so I think that maybe the it influenced the mrs quite a bit! People dont know he was a ground breaking tattooist - you are totally allowed to feel down sometimes, and the more moaning you do here, the less you do at home! (I find!!!)

Massive congratulations Turtlemoose on baby Reuben, such a beautiful name.

I'm really surprised also at the amount of people going to use reuaseable nappies. I told my OH last night and his face said it all - not a flaming heck we're using them. The more you guys chat about it the more I'm coming round to the idea so who knows. Can anyone reccomend a good baby book for first time mums? I read previous a someone had a got a book that details a week to week what to expect book??

I just bought the Maxi Cosi Pebble car seat. Got it for £118 which I didn't think was too bad. It's £130, but Boots have a 10% off code, plus I went through Quidco. So I'll get some cashback and points as well. Yey me. It's my first BIG purchase. Exciting!

@betty, your local council will have info and if you live in a reasonably urban area there may even be a nappy cleaning service. I'm just going to consult the missy - and get some links for you

Edit
from brighton but hopefully useful

Hi everyone. Can I be added to the list?

My due date is 10th December and this is baby number two. I have an 18 month old DD and was on thread back then.

LOL :eek: The room has a wardrobe - a empty desk (to go out) - and a single bed full of everything. Need to take it all out - paint - fit the curtains - order the carpet the lot lol.

Anyone else got a naughty breech baby? 33 weeks and still not going head down ... i'm terrified of that section threat ...

Frustrated.com. Trying to exam mark because I'm behind with being away for the weekend. My mum has stopped by with socks for the little man and so I don't feel I can tell her to get lost. I can't mark with her here. I'm slowly going mad!!

Quick question

Last week I was doing some maternity leave calculations on a website ( but have lost the link ) It was able to tell me when I put my due date in when was the earliest I could take maternity leave and when I had to nofify work ?? Anyone know any such online calculators, would do it the old fashioned way but the dates are tight and Im scared of making a mistake !
