Well me and other half have made up I think after a long night of texting and crying. I'm exhausted now. Part of the problem is he buries his head in sand until last
Minute and I'm worried he won't do the research to support my decisions. Another part of it is I am a big believer in alternative techniques such as acupuncture, crystal healing etc which he thinks is crap. He says he doesn't want any Mumbai jumbo touching his baby. Obviously I'm not gonna go to Someone unrecommended. . MEN!!!

Sorry if you've read this in the 12-24, but official 24 weeks today, so though i'll post it in here as well.

I'm so excited, we had ordered my little girl a new bed, she was in a toddler bed so we have got her a proper bed with storage underneath, we will need all the space we need as the baby will be sharing with her eventually. Well it came yesterday and its all up and we have moved her room around we just need to get the cot out of the attic and we are sorted

She hasn't seen it yet as we went out last night to see jimmy carr, so she was at my mums. I'll be picking her up soon and we aren't going to tell her and just wait till she sees it. She is going to be really excited about getting her "big girl" bed.

Congratulations MrsManda and choclover on the births of Alexander and Emily - lovely names too.

littlemiss the whole of my family are going out for dinner at Carluccios tonight as my sister's birthday is 30th June and mine is 1st July, but she has a wedding to go to next weekend. Just got to work out what I can eat though (vegetarian and pregnant can make it tricky) as they've changed their menu since I visited last time (at around 3 months pregnant), and also what I'm going to wear as bump is quite big now. Think I may wear my fatface maxi dress with a cardigan that I can take off as it was really hot in there last time as we were sat next to the kitchen.
Plan for today then is to go into to town and try to find a birthday present for my sister, as well as a thank you card and 2 birthday presents and cards for the Canadian couple who sent us the money and babygrow as their birthdays are in July too and I need to allow the time it takes to deliver to Canada. I've no idea what to get any of them (Canadian couple in their 50s and my sister will be 27).

Well I'd best get into the shower, as a busy shopping day ahead of me.

Hugs to all who need or want them, labour vibes where appropriate, and looking forward to seeing more announcements and baby photos soon.

ETA: cross-posted with snowy - welcome to the thread, and hope your little girl loves her new "Big girl bed".

I think it's mumbo-jumbo as opposed to Mumbai :eek:

You don't tend to get fakes from amazon hun it's not like eBay they are quite strict and monitor people selling as a business and you can normally buy it direct from Amazon themselves x

Thank you Ikkle.

I will order some Bio Oil then

Congratulation thrifty , mrsmanda and choc love.

I haven't thought about the giving birth bit :eek:...Can I choose to have a c-section (if I'm too scared to give birth) or they will force me to give birth naturally?

Congrats thrifty , mrsmanda and choclover

Aida I use bio oil and the coconut butter from body shop. I apply bio oil in the morning and coconut butter in the evenings. No stretch marks so far (I'm 22+?) but can't guarantee it's the oil and the butter. I think the most important thing is for you to moisturise!

Has anyone got a suggestion of a dress for a wedding on a boat? I'll be 27wks then and bought the Tiffany Rose block dress in purple off ebay (http://www.tiffanyrose.com/maternity/clothing/CBDP.html, sorry I'm not sure how to add websites any other way) but, to be honest, I'm not keen as it doesn't feel very weddingly...

Oops fluff. The perils of posting from a phone

snowbean

Hello, please can I join you? Have been lurking for weeks and never getting caught up in time to post - you're all so chatty!

I'm 25 weeks today, due oct 6th and we don't know the sex. Please can I be added to the list emsbet?

Congrats to all the new mums. Still can't quite believe that will be me soon - feel so unorganised and unprepared...eek.

Hope everyone has a good day

Love that dress bikelesschick - you could always add a corsage to make it look a bit more weddingy if you wanted, but I think it's lovely the way it is. It's all about accessorising for weddings.

Welcome snowbean. x
