Just wanted to share a pic I have just been sent by the lovely lady making my cot bed & rocking crib bumper and blanket sets up for me.

this is the blanket. It will have a lovely fleecy backing too. I'm so excited to see it done.



Damn how do I insert a pic???

Don't leave the baby in the snow in that blanket!! You won't be able to find it :rotfl:

Hehee. I use imageshack - upload and then put the forum link in.

Nope, you have to go via the web I'm afraid. We'll see it once you're home!

Wow i'm watching that program about the kid with 90% burns who survived. That's one strong dad!!

*Nutella*

Just a quick hello :wave: - finally managed to catch up! Huge congrats to those who've given birth since last time I was on here, and labour vibes to those who want them. Seems like it's induction week!?

Our little girl is 5 weeks old today - how time flies! But she's fab and soooo worth 9 months of aches and pains. Having said that though... is it sad that I'm excited about being able to paint my toenails and sleep on my stomach?... :T

Re. the 'what do you do with it' discussion - I could so identify with the worries about suddenly being responsible for another little person who completely depends on you for everything. I had moments of panic whilst pregnant, wondering how I'd cope and how I'd know what to do, having had no previous experience of dealing with babies. But it really is true that once the baby's here you just get on with it and you WILL be fine - besides, you won't have time to dwell on stuff as baby will want milk/cuddle/clean nappy NOW! These three things can solve most 'what to do' dilemmas, by the way

Hugs to all x

PS1: SilDerm are giving away free samples of their stretch mark oil/cream: http://www.silderm.com/Free_Sample.aspx?dm_i=HV0,U30B,5HKHD1,2GY4P,1

PS2: What they don't tell you in antenatal classes is that pregnancy is such good preparation for parenthood: if you think you're a bit of a slob now for finding yourself in your PJs at 3pm and/or for not having had a shower all day and/or for existing on a diet of ready meals/take aways/chocolate bars/other stuff that requires minimal effort and has zero nutritional value... well, that's what life with a newborn is like

I saw that last night. Every shot of her as a little girl being so joyous and into everything and just like every other two year old nearly broke my heart. I'm not normally sentimental but I guess the pregnancy hormones are affecting me!

Hi Nutella, glad to hear you and baby are doing fine. It's so nice to hear that it's going to be ok!

No it's not sad at all, I can't wait to be able to tie my own shoelaces or pick things up off the floor without struggling to breathe!!

The other half's had to start helping me put my socks on. Plus I got stuck in the bath last night. I'd managed to lie down and couldn't sit up again

Lovely day today. Actually met my consultant at the hospital today - he's an absolute box of frogs. Lovely, but nuts. Baby boy is growing at a rate of knotts. He's on the 90th percentile now (the boy that is going to be small) after being on the 50th last week.
Anyway he's pretty sure the palps are nothing but talked about what they might do for me. He also said, to sack off work if I'm not well and told Andy to make sure I'm listening. He was very firm on me not working past 36 weeks under ANY circumstances. Which is lucky given I'm a teacher and won't be. Ha ha.
Also went to mothercare to try out some prams that we've been looking at on the internet (obviously not to buy in mothercare). Anyway, we saw a travel cot that I like that was £90 reduced to £70, thought about it and then found out display was the last one. Soooo, we ummed and ahhed and they said they would reduce it. Then we found some marks and I made out like I didn't want it anymore so they reduced it to £50. Yey!

Really glad to hear the palpitations are nothing to worry about, twinklie
