I like the Stuva units. OH not so sure, but she did like some of the other wardrobes so we'll definitely get something.

Like you - I like the way you can customise them and they're very good on usable space vs space they take up. Because they're quite boxy.

We have pax wardrobes in our room and they're great, so much space.

We have PAX wardrobes in our spare room which we use for overflow of clothes and for storing our junk that we didn't throw out. For the babys room we ended up with the Herefoss wardrobe and drawers... bit more expensive than malm and pax and the childrens furniture but we decided we liked it a lot more and it will be big enough to use when the baby is older too.

I have just under 9 weeks until I finish work and I can not wait. The weekends aren't enough time for me to relax and stop being so exhausted (I know, it's only going to get worse!).

We have the pax the in one of our rooms, like the stuva I love that you can build it to suit what you need. We went for a stuva wardrobe which we have two rails in (but also have a spare shelf for as his clothes get bigger) and two small drawers and a large drawer and we also got a unit that is that is the same frame the wardrobe but has small doors at the top which has shelves behind, then two shelves on display then the same drawer set up at the bottom as the wardrobe. We have plenty of space and the second unit will be great for toys etc.

I'm so glad I have now finished work, it was starting to take its toll on me in the last few weeks and I was finding I was so tired at the weekends I was resting and unable to do anything else!

I love ikea furniture, we have brimnes drawer units in our room and will probably go for pax in my office/dressing room once loft is done. Madame room will have fully inbuilt ones and luckily we have a really great carpenter who will do it all. They have a cot I really like too but can't remember the name.

Thanks think pink, me too!

Just picked up my maternity notes and right at the top it says please carry these notes with you, especially near the end of your pregnancy!

Never heard that one before psycho. The only time I have my notes with me or was told to have them with me, are appointments. Just put them in my bag now for hospital as this morning was what I think/hope will be my last midwife appointment.

Got one booked for two weeks, but it's right after due date, she says she doubts she will see me again. Fingers crossed. Everything seems to be moving along. Head is engaged, BP not quite as stupidly low as its been. She kept laughing because she said bump looks tiny ( which everyone says, but it doesn't to me!) but measures exactly on the central line where she should be. She says she feels like a long baby. Help! I'm really short, about 5 foot 4, husband is over a foot taller than me. So she might thankfully get his height and not mine.

I'm 5'3 and hubby is 6'3 so similar! I think she's going to be slender rather than chunky. My older dds dad was slightly shorter and she is about 5'8 at 16 and a size 6 but not scrawny. I think this little lady may have a similar build.

Finished my last set of night shifts at 8am this morning One step closer to being free from work! I've got 44 more working days left which doesn't feel like many at all to me :eek:

Started washing nappies today! We're using cloth ones so have been making the most of the sunshine and prewashing everything. This is about the level of excitement I can cope with at the moment!

Work is still going on in the house - the big spare bedroom is nearly finished and I went to carpetright to arrange measuring up of the living room, stairs & bathroom! There's so many things going on at once I can't wait for it to be done and sell the stupid house!! :rotfl:

Beckyy

45 days to go :eek:

I'm hoping I get enough time to get the things at home done that I want to when I finish work next month.

We've started our antenatal classes now, interesting so far. It's nice to meet a few other people due around the same time, the next one is more focused on labour/pain relief/birth, hopefully it will be helpful too.

I'm trying to keep up my calcium intake lately as I know it's important in the later stages. My multivitamins have some in but not a massive amount. Also trying to keep exercising as much as I can, I'm much slower at everything now though :rotfl:

I hope everybody is doing well.

Thanks for updating the list Freddie!

Wonder if rinroo has had her baby yet?

Hope gelly is getting on ok too, not seen her post for a bit.

Nothing going on, I guessed all along labour would be today but no signs as yet. Have midwife this morning plus meeting dd for lunch and then having a girlie afternoon to while away some time!
