    My smallest baby (7lbs 1oz) was also the longest and hardest labour so fingers crossed the big baby theory is true! x

    I had a much worse time with the 4lb 15oz dinky dot - who got stuck, forceps, third degree tear, shredded placenta being pulled out in chunks than the 7lb on the nose one who just pretty much flew out so quickly daddy had to be physically hoiked back into the delivery room by staff in order not to miss it (he was making phonecalls to sort out childcare/work just outside the room)
    Little miracle born April 2012, 33 weeks gestation and a little toughie!

    We must all be tiling!!! LOL! I have just been to my new (but not new!) house to sign for my kitchen and bathroom floor tiles - three quarters of a tonne of slate! The guy got out of his lorry and said that he would need some help pushing it on to my drive :eek: thank god the plumber and electrician were there!!!! (I think the delivery guy was also relieved when he saw my belly!).

    I couldn't work out how many tiles I would need but am not even going to attempt DIY as they are all different widths and must be a mare to lay!

    I haven't chosen my bathroom or kitchen wall tiles yet - I keep changing my mind so baby could come first at this rate!:o

    Wonder_girl it is the correct thread - welcome! What is your due date (I should be able to work it out - but baby brain and all that!) and someone will add you to the list - sounds like you will be just in front of me!:T

    Welcome along to the madhouse Wonder_girl! :)

    IHateDida - slate sounds lovely, I'm going cheap and cheerful 'cause I despise what we've got (they're kinda pink & beige...).

    Trying to do a tesco shop for next week when we're staying at my mums so it'll be the two of us and 2 kids and one of us will be off work all week so it's difficult to guess how much food we'll need! I guess I'll just order and hope for the best. That and it's going on my mum's bank card ;)

    Thanks IHD,

    I'm due 7th June, she is a girl and my first, i'm alternating between being very excited and petrified! :eek:

    Unfortunately, I am not doing any tiling. I am however in the process of sanding down the stairs, the 100 years worth of paint and varnish will NOT defeat me!! Not the brightest of ideas, I will also blame my baby brain! :rotfl:

    We have our antenatal class at the hospital tonight so hopefully I will feel a bit batter after that. Although, i might stop listening after a while as the class is 5-8pm and i will be starving!

    You would be surprised - the slate was quite cheap off the internet - its not Italian nicely cut slate - its Brazilian "off the back of a lorry all different widths" slate!:D:D But yes - not sure I would like pink/beige either - it would show the dirt too much - slate covers up pretty much everything (dirt kind of blends in!) :D

    Ohhh I'm number 17!:j

    It will be fun watching myself get closer to the top!

    I'm feeling mostly ready now, just a few things left to buy but we have all the important stuff. I'm glad I have found a thread of like bumped people to chat to :D

    Right, I'm off to walk the dog, I'm then off to B&Q to get some magic paint disolver as the sander is just not cutting the mustard, what did they used to make paint out of, it's like cement!!!
