Congrats MV

Congrats to all the babies and mummies, wondering if mine will follow the girl trend or not.

Keep thinking its a girl, then a boy. Really haven't got a clue.

As for mat leave I don't trust my employer to get my pay right, think that this is why I'm not leaving work until Sat 24th and I'm due on the 27th, I went over both times and I feel ok working.

It's no harder than looking after my two pre schoolers anyway.

Congrats to MV and Claree and glad your partner made it in time for the birth MV!
I'm beginning to feel like my pregnancy is dragging on a bit now, I've been off work since June and on restricted duties before then, and starting to get a bit bored now but know I should appreciate this time as it's the calm before the storm.


Been shopping for baby stuff - Sainsbury's are doing 25% off all clothes til Monday so there are some bargains to be had that way.


Re the mat leave question, both times I have had to finish early due to circumstances beyond my control but now I'm 34 weeks I'm feeling absolutely shattered all the time, I take my hat off to anyone who can work much past this stage. Doesn't help having a toddler who wakes up every morning at 5 am singing 'I can sing a rainbow', although I suppose maybe he is training me for the months ahead?

Yey!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have been waiting for Sainsburys to have 25% off as I bought some sleepsuits months ago and they are just lovely. Thanks for posting that.:D

I take my hat off to anyone who works over 34 weeks too as that's where I am now and with 4 more weeks to go I'll be taking my hat off to myself IF I make it! Although I've bought my train pass now for the month and I was charged twice (in error) so it will be hugely annoying if I don't get there!

He was fine and took to having a baby around really well. He's not shown any jealousy, though we did have a few more tantrums than usual in the early weeks. I think it helps that his childminders looks after a little girl who she's had from 6 months, so he's already spent a lot of time around a baby. How has your DS been?

It is a bit disorientating at first, I didn't realise how independent DS1 had become til I was back to having a helpless newborn again! I'm sure you'll be fine

DS seemed a bit confused this evening. He hasn't settled to bed particularly well either, and normally once he goes to bed that's it for the evening.

OH picked him up a bit earlier from nursery this evening so he could spend a bit of time here with the baby before bed. We also have OH's parents here till tomorrow so the house is a bit chocka..that's probably confused him too as they picked him up from nursery yesterday and dropped him this morning.

I feel kind of guilty spoiling his status quo in a way..has anyone else felt like that? I had also forgotten how hard a newborn can be. Lola is lovley but since she's got home we're struggling to settle her, and I am finding breast feeding very sore Thinking of giving her a bottle of formula before bed and also feeling bad about that!
