Hi There - just wanted to say that I went into my local store today to look at these and they were reduced to £300 - so its possible your store just hadn't got round to it yet?

Yes, thanks that does help,

ive emailed them so shall see what they say

Bellola,

the only wipes that Ive used that have dried out were the Asda ones, that being said they had been opened and Im not a massive fan of them anyway !

Thanks for the kind words and support ladies. Feeling a bit more optimistic this evening so hopefully I can keep that up until I see the midwife on Friday

Thanks for all the cold tips. I took two paracetemol early and I don't feel too bad at the moment so hopefully it's just a mild cold. May try the Vicks inhaler if the blocked nose gets too much.

Afternoon!

Emsbet, bless you, its totally understandable that you worry after everything you've been through. We'll all be here for you tomorrow, its bound to be a difficult day for you. Hope you're feeling better now.

Just been sat on the sofa with a very definate little foot poking out my ribs, LO goes nuts when her daddy tickles her feet, I can't wait to see her cute little toes! Now we've hit 37 weeks I just really want to meet her! Day one of 'real' maternity leave tomorrow, nothing at all planned which feels really nice!

Wipes - we've got about 8 packets from various freebies etc, gonna see which we like before we buy in bulk, I have lots of Boots points for a big shop

Emsbet, hugs to you.

Sorry if I missed things this weekend. So, we went to thins club this morning, and only one mum came, but it was ok, we could chase her boys around the play place, and she answered any questions that my OH cane up. It would have been nice if there were more babies and mums for OH to meet, as he won't be able to join now until next bank holiday, fingers crossed the twins won't arrive by then. The mum that was there started her maternity leave at 31 weeks and the boys arrived at 34 weeks.

Then we came home, had lunch and then a long chat tryib to agree when our parents should come and for how long. OH's brother asked yesterday if he can come in August/September, and I was just shocked by it. Not because he never comes or anything, but because I fund I hard to see my life after June 1st. Besides, it is 5 months away! I think we more or less agreed now that OH's parent will come towards end of June. Assuming all is ok, and the babies don't arrive to early, OH would take paternity leave in the first two weeks of June, probably after the bank holidays, using annual leave before if needed, then I asked for a week for myself, to see if I can cope on my own, which I think I really need instead of getting his parents straight away here, and the following week his parents come and OH takes a week off. Hopefully, they won't come for more than 2 weeks, although OH was trying to push for 3 weeks. Then a week off, and time for my parents visit... I hope I will manage to cope with it.

Anyway, I am babbling too much. The best thing today - I built my changer/dresser, it looks beautiful, now I need to get the changing mat for it and it will be perfect. I really need to order the baby monitor and room/bath thermometer next week. I am know sat on the sofa, and not willing to move. I am not hungry at all these days, I had bill of cereal for breakfast, a small slice of Colomba cake (soft sponge sort of cake with fruits, traditional Italian for Easter), a drink in play centre, Thai fish soup made by OH for lunch, then as I wasn't hungry at all, had a few marinated anchovies, and then to be healthy had fruit salad. Now I feel so stuffed.

Got few more quotes for the cleaners, just waiting for one more lady to come back to me, but if no, I think I found one that sounds quite good, with insurances, CRB checks, taxes sorted, it is about £12 an hour.
