Due July 2012 Thread

Is anyone planning on getting the Uppababy as their travel system? It's currently top of our list & I was wondering what other mums to be think of it we initially looked at the teutonia system but the uppababy has a whopping 86% in the which review & seems super practical!

My sister got me a set of Hungry Caterpillar babygros (in England). I got a Hungry Caterpillar baby towell (the hooded one) in Tescos for like a fiver. I love it!

I'm addicted to buns - cream buns, fairy cakes, etc. Got St. Patricks day themed ones yesterday.

Got my arse pillow this morning, less than 24hrs after ordered it, impressed. Hope it works. Going to see my chiropractor this evening as well & see if can help my lower back.

OH sent me a link for a birthing pool for sale on Adverts. First time he's took an interest like that in buying stuff. Must get him a dad's book to read. Does anyone else find that the stuff written for dads is sometimes very condescending and basically tells them to put up with anything that comes out of our mouths for 9mths!?

Haven't bought any newborn stuff, all 0-3. I just know I'll have a 9lber!

For heartburn sufferers, the Rennies Rapeze fruit flavoured tablets are so nice!! Discovered them last night in my Supervalu. I can't stand the mint ones & the gaviscon fruit ones are a bit ick.

Hi all,

Came across this link in today's Indo - a website for new mums

www.whatsupmum.ie

Apparently all the advice there is from midwives from the Rotunda & Holles St etc. Haven't had a proper look at the videos yet but might be some interesting ones.

Love, love, love the amazon wish list!

Going mad, clicking everything here!

Congratulations saurelin!!

Love that dress Tinkerbell4484!!

My kicks are very low down also, feels very close to pubic bone..dancing on my bladder of course, hopefully babs will move up soon.
Can't feel them on outside I think the boys are looking forward to that the most!!!

I'm buying 0-3 mths my dss wer 8lb 5oz and 8lb 11lb so presume newborn wont be good for long going by my record!!:rolleyes:

Twomums2be, my mother picked me up a set of rainbow striped baby gro things (actually, vest things, whatyacallims: i still don't really know the right name for things!) they sound like what you're after, think she got them in pennys? I'll ask her next time I see her to be sure!

Thanks NyquistFreak
I'm actually looking for solid colours in a rainbow set if you know what I mean so an orange one, green one, blue one etc but in primary shades although I would appreciate the info re the striped ones also I saw a pic on a website of about 10 babies each in a bright coloured babygro ( like you I'm not sure what they are def called) and now I want them but the silly website didn't sell them it was just a cute pic they used :rolleyes:

How about something like these: http://www.ebay.ie/itm/FUNKY-COLOURED-BABYGROW-SLEEPSUIT-fancy-dress-/290511669316?pt=Baby_Clothing&vti=Size%090-3+months&hash=item895f5890ab i've been looking for them too: they are so hard to get!

Kinda Cyning but I'm hoping for pea green, aqua blue & the likes...they must exist somewhere I'll be sure to let you know if/when I find them!
Such things having several different names doesn't help :rolleyes:

Happy Paddy's day everyone!

I've had a sore couple of days - my cat brought home the insides of some small beastie, and left it in the hall, which I then stepped on and slid - literally doing the splits. I hadn't done the splits in years - but this was cheerleader perfect, straight legged and all the way to the floor. (Baby is totally fine btw, still kicking away!)

Hubby nearly had a heart-attack. Apparently, the only sound I made was 'Ooof', he was a step in front of me and didn't even notice I had fallen until I called him. I genuinely was not able to get up on my own. Since then, the muscles in my under my bump, hip and pubic region are aching, and I'm struggling to lift my right leg much past ankle height (it makes putting on knickers a real chore)

It's getting better slowly but surely, but with hubby leaving for Budapest on Monday, I'm feeling terribly worried that something equally stupid will happen when he is away, and keep bursting into tears about it. I'm trying so hard not to let him see, because he already feels terrible about going, and there is no way for him to get out of it.

This has turned into a post for the moan thread - but i feel much better to get it off my chest.

Oh kash, poor you! Glad baby is ok. Maybe a few sessions with a physio wld help. I'm sure your doc or phn wld give u a referral letter, if u need it.

That must be so hard for you with hubby heading off. My oh is only away for the weekend on a stag but I'm ridiculously lonely for him! Normally I'd be delighted to have the remote control and tv to myself but I was miserable last night.

Aw saurelin, what a perfect night you had. Sounds lovely!

I've a stupidly busy day today, have to work at a parade about an hours drive away, then rush home to watch the rugby. Heading out with my friend for dinner tonight for her birthday, but all she wants to talk about is baby and pregnancy. Don't get me wrong I'm grateful for her support and that she's so interested, but I feel like shouting I'm still here!

Hope ye all have a lovely Paddy's Day x

Hi girls, hope your all having a great weekend!
Had a dream the other night that baby was born and looked Mexican so the oh left me!then woke up sobbing, fell back asleep and dreamt he was telling me he didn't love me anymore,
needless to say i am so clingy and upset the past few days,
24 weeks today, under 4 months and counting

Does anyone else here have an OH which does very little around the house, except when asked and asked again? Seriously after working a long week I think we should be entilted to a bit of extra help??

Yep, I've been making allowances from when he was sick a couple of years ago. But before Xmas it all came to a head. I was so tired and feeling so queasy, I just wasn't able to do everything.
He still maintains that he needs one day a week where he does absolutely nothing, so he got me a cleaner who comes in once a week for three hours.
It's the best thing ever, I just have to give a quick hoover at the weekends, but all the big work is done.

Wish I wasn't so passionate about sport. The stress of it can't be good for the baby. Don't know how I'll cope in the summer!

@ Kash, hope you're feeling ok now & glad baby is fine. Ouch!

@Kiwi, my OH helps around the house, luckily! If I have to work on Saturdays he'll always have the place clean for when I get home. I still reckon it's 70/30 to me though but can't complain! I've already been warned that as soon as the little one arrives there'll be no more Saturday cleaning! Then again I can't promise I'll be cleaning either so we'll have to just be happy living in a tip with our little girl (at least until we can train her up to help out!!)

That was me thanks for that...getting closer! I have found some by little seed but boy do you pay for wanting something other than pastels :rolleyes:

Good Morning Ladies.
How are you today?
I love long weekends: D

My hubby rarely cleaned on his own before pregnancy, only when I told him do this and that. Now it is a little better, mainly due to my moan that my buck hurts etc. he tries to clean (or at least wash dishes or set dishwasher) before I get home from work.

Happy mothers day!

My hubby is pretty useless around the place. He does leave for work at 6.30 and doesn't get back until after 8, do I guess I can't expect him to do much in the little time he's here.
The lack of appreciation gets me the most. The man just cannot say thanks! It was the way he was brought up, totally spoilt, always expecting things to be done for him.
