We've got laminate floor in the baby's room. Hopefully easy to wipe clean!!!

Good morning ladies!

Welcome jen and polka :wave:

con I need to look at carpet too. I do know to avoid anything too dark as it will show up fluff (I remember my mums hideous chocolate brown carpet!! :eek:) but too light and it shows up every mark!

good luck on getting into the birth centre smlsave!

I'm down to go to the birth centre (final decision to be made at 36 weeks) and have heard that its harder to get admitted there than be signed off for a home birth! madness! No wonder they only do around 300 births a year. The nearest hospital in contrast does 3,500....

squirrel it must feel strange. I'm not being replaced (other team members stepping up in my absence) but I've already told them no one is to pinch my desk!

claire that is a pain with the coat, I remember you mentioning this before, its taken aaaaages! Things just aren't made to last are they? Its ridiculous. I'm finding I get upset at the smallest things. Last week when one of the sales guys at work was an !!!! I got all teary! So not like me.

Went to yoga last night and we were working on birthing balls. We did this one move where you've just got your shoulders on the ball and bump was soooo pointy! Looked really freaky! So I *think* that baby has moved from transverse :T. Just have to wait till next weeks midwife appointment to see if baby is head or feet down.

Just been told that My work replacement starts next week and it's really freaked me out! I interviewed her and chose her but now i feel all weird as it's just hit home that I won't be working here in 4 weeks time!!
Must be just the hormones as I am really looking forward to finishing but feeling a bit emotional about leaving the team!!

My work replacement is my hubs! It's how we met - at work, and he is a freelancer and one contract ended (he has another 1 he services on an evening and his own business) so that was really odd for me! It's v odd when your replacement starts as you end up either babysitting or thumb twiddling. I was the latter of the two as i didnt need to do much explaining as i'm sure working there for 4 years OH has heard everything from me anyway at home!

My due date is tomorrow, not looking promising to be on time!

durham_girl ooo just noticed its induction day for you tomorrow. Good luck. Sending you lots of good labour vibes.

ah jemb you never know! Keeping fingers crossed for you too.

claire16c

Sjlou yes it has taken ages it's so annoying!

The debenhams thing has annoyed me more though as at least Asos were helpful when replying to my emails even if there is a numpty in their warehouse!

I feel so tired today just had a nap before I go back to work in a bit. DH rang to say he's knackered too. Probably didn't help I was chatting away in bed last night, he did keep telling me to be quiet lol

The carpet in my nursery room is cream! But it's not like a new fluffy white cream, might get a rug though

sjlou

Don't think its an "official" craving but cant stop eating creme eggs! Oh how I love the run up to easter!

claire its so annoying when you get put through to one numpty after another at a call centre.

re: boobs - I was a 32A before I was pregnant, I'm now something ridiculous like a 34DD/E...haven't been measured. If anyone is thinking about getting maternity bras, I recommend one I got from Am4zon called "emma jane", it's technically a sleep nursing bra, it's sooo comfortable and the front unclips so you can feed babe. I've got a couple of m0thercare sleep nursing bras too, but this is adjustable at the back so more tailored and supportive. I also bought some bamboo washable breast pads, so much nicer than the disposables from sainsbobs which after one feed tend to fold over.

Oh and noone told me that when feeding on one side, the let down kicks in on the other side so you end up grabbing for towels whilst feeding.

sjlou

Thanks for the tip kerri I've book marked it for future use!

mincepiemonster

Thanks for the lists Mrs TM. Unfortunately I am still here- induction booked for Sunday 10am. Will catch up again later but wanted to check in!
