    There wasn't much on telly last September/October time? :D

    Lol is that when you conceived then? Using that theory, I predict there won't be too many babies next march/april time as most men are too busy watching the euro to BD at the moment :D

    Unless England win. Then you'll get a right old peak come next March/April! Celebratory bunk-ups innit. It happened in 1967 after England won the world cup apparently :D

    I think after the footie finishes the wives/gfs are glad to get some attention from the men lol.

    Thanks Emsbet I'm trying to rest today, but I keep seeing things that need to be done.

    Last night MIL offered to buy us a cot :j we'd been given one months ago for free so we weren't so worried about looking at any. We (I) really wanted a white one so was going to paint the free one. So what cots have people gone for? I quite like the idea of a cotbed, don't really know what the budget is. Don't want to really ask for an expensive one as I'd feel rude. Don't know where to start looking really, but quite excited :)

    We have this cot as we couldn't fit a cotbed in our little nursery.

    We have this cot (only ours has natural finish not white). Decided not to go for cotbed as we have a spare guest bed in the nursery (it used to be a guest room) and are planning to move our LO onto the adult bed once he's outgrown his cot.

    Pretty. John Lewis do a similar one for the same price. I went for a cot too. For two reasons - 1) we're not having a moses basket so it needs to fit in our room for a while 2) a cotbed's great but what if we manage to have another baby? We'll need the cot for No. 2 so No. 1 might as well go straight into a bed.

    Yay Im a forty number :j was getting sick of going up and down the fifty's !

    Im having a MUCH better day today, thanks again to those who offered kind words :D

    The wardrobe arrived at 7:30 am this morning :eek: but we were all up and about as the !!!!!!s rang at 7:20 !!

    Ewan the sheep arrived as did my ds2's new wii game so im in for a peaceful weekend looking at the back of their heads whilst they kill baddies :cool:


    As for cots, we were given a 2nd hand one when my ds1 was born which (according to dh :mad:) is perfectly fine to use for this one. Im hoping its been damaged in storage though as I'd like a new one to match the new wardrobe, and they can be picked up quite cheaply. We didnt ever get a cotbed or junior bed, the cot has a dropside on it which we removed so the boys could get in and out of themselves and when they were about 2 or 3 we put them into their current high sleeper beds.
    Bow Ties ARE cool :cool:

    Lots of pelvic pain today. Lower backache and a period-type pain kept waking me up intermittently last night. When I saw the midwife yesterday, she said the baby's head's moved down even further. Last time she could still feel 3/5ths, yesterday it was only 1/5th. That's practically hanging out isn't it?!

    It's a sign surely?! :D

    Ohh how exciting!! Can I ask, have you had lots of period type pains in the last few weeks? I keep getting them more or less every day since I was 35/36 weeks and (this is going to sound odd) like achey lady bits - almost as if everything is going to just fall out :o maybe thats TMI sorry ladies!

    Hope everyone is well and sorry to hear some are having a rubbish day! 2 weeks today till EDD:eek::eek: not done any batch cooking yet...better pull my finger out!

    Tenth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    Hi everyone,

    After much research I have decided to buy the Tommy Tippee digital video monitor with sensor pad. Tommy Tippee website are offering £40 off with free delivery over £50 so final cost is £159.99. Thought I'd share the link: http://www.tommeetippee.co.uk/product/digital_video_monitor_with_movement_sensor_pad/

    Tesco have it discounted as well but out of stock, would have preferred to got it from Tesco as I would have got clubcard points :(

    I was all set to buy a tomy video monitor until my friend told me about the sensor pads. Now that I've read up on them I couldn't not buy one as I think as a first time mum it'll help me be less anxious. I've had mixed reviews from friends/family on sensor pads as they say the alarm can off accidently and scare you but after reading every review I could find I feel it's worth the false alarms and the hefty price tag.
