One tip I would have is that if your only going for baby stuff and other household niknaks, then avoid starting at the very front of the store as its all furniture for various rooms. Its one loooooong walk around the whole store! We went straight to the restaurant and beside that is the baby section. Then the lifts are there also to bring you downstairs to the household section with all the small house furnishings etc.[/quote]
Definitely- we do this nearly every time now. Otherwise you end up stuck behind granny, grandad and family of 5 just out for a browse and 3 hours later u might find what you came to get
the checkout qs can be mad at the weekends too so if ur looking for something in the warehouse at the end send oh to q while u look or vice versa 0 -

Woohoo, I'm in my new house sitting at a lovely log fire lit in the stove, and the house is gorgeous and I'm about half way unpacked. What a mentally hectic week. But worth it. I have my kids coming to their new home on Tuesday as they're with their dad for a long weekend so they'll arrive to everything put away and a calm Mammy :pac:
How's everyone getting on now? The countdown is starting now, I suppose i better get out and buy some nappies and stuff a vest or a babygro and maybe think about packing a bag .. 5/7 weeks to go 0 -

My app now says 2 weeks 6 days to go - seeing 2 weeks is a bit scary 😳 have the bags packed (finally) and took down and washed the 0-3 mth stuff last week. The vests look so tiny, I can't wait to have a lil squishy baby in my arms again 😠OH is just now decorating the baby's room... Lastminute.com... I want to get a new floor in the living room in the next 2 wks as the dog has this carpet destroyed and these nesting hormones have me driven mad trying to clean everything and being totally paranoid about germs!0 -

Congrats orchids pretty!! So sorry to hear about your hard time. Delighted to hear about your beautiful twins.
Try not to stress about pumping, it's best done when relaxed. A double electric pump would definitely be best . And perhaps look at your babies or pics /videos of them whilst pumping! It really helps!! You will express larger amounts as time goes on. best of luck. Try contacting cuidi for support also!! 0 -

I can't keep my eyes off them, they probably think I'm mad:)Unfortunately things didn't to plan for me and I got septic shock after the deliverly so didn't get to see them for 3 days. It has kind of scuppered my plans at Breastfeeding too as I am still quite weak. I started expressing on Thursday but only getting 20-30ml per session. Anyone know if I can improve it?
Congratulations orchidspretty, and welcome to the world babies !! You had such a rough time, but, it's the time after when you look at them you realise you'd go through it all again..What have you called them?Nettle drops are supposed to increase your supply, you can pick it up in the health shop.. there's lots of natural foods to that i can't remember now cos my brain is house move fried!!
Have a look at breastfeeding thread or post there for proper up to date tips 
Well Done 0 -

Thats brilliant news Orchidspretty ! How is everything going with the feeding?
I got my new GP here in Mayo and he's so nice. He was disgusted at the state of my notes from the hospital. He flicked through them and said 'these are illegible!! How on earth am I supposed to use these! This is €20,000 right here for ineptitude, and do you se this (pointing to one note) another 20,000 for writing in blue pen on ante-natal notes!'.
I laughed my ass off.. Trouble is he was serious. ! He wrote a letter for the hospital and faxed it off then rang them to make sure they got it so I have my first app on Tuesday at 3pm. Full booking app again with a scan and meet the midwives!! They asked me to bring my notes and they'll do up a new set as the GP had told them too!! :O
I have a good bit of the unpacking done, I'd probably have it all done but in the last 4 days I feel like baby has doubled in size. Whatever nerve she's lying on is killing my right leg. From my pubic bone to my knee. So I gave up and took to the couch. the kids have settled in brilliantly. Thank god. My eldest is starting her new school on monday. It'll be good to be in a routine before my new one gets here!
I also realised yesterday I'm into countdown in days. 26/40 scary thought :eek:0 -

So I've had my first appointment with Mayo General and I have to say I'm impressed.. it was so much more relaxed than Drogheda and they agree with me that the numbers that came back in the diabetes test suggest I don't have diabetes!! But because I have been testing they want me back into the diabetic clinic tomorrow for a check up on the bloods. They also couldn't use my notes, there were no blood results and the gp and consultant notes were all over the place so they just did a full history again, with bloods and a scan, all done in about an hour and ten mins.. I couldn't believe it !!
On a scarier note, baby is weighing in at 8 and a half pounds :eek::eek::eek: my heaviest baby was 7lbs 10ozs, and I still have 3/5 odd weeks to go
:( my poor lady bits... She's doing fine and I have lost 5 and a half pounds, I'd say it's due to the move and being so busy getting everything done in a week, from getting the house to physically getting into it..
I have managed to get all the ingredients for my hospital bag, just a matter of putting them all in the same place now and I'm good to go.
I have a nice relaxing 5 days without the kids over the weekend as they're back in Meath with their dad for some extra time for midterm. I have to say I am seriously looking forward to the clocks going back and everything taking a slower pace next week. I'm loving it in my new house and town and meeting the midwives yesterday really took that weight off my mind.
November is only a week and 2 days away... where has the year gone :eek:0 -

So, I was in the diabetic clinic yesterday and while my bloods are fine the baby is measuring 2 weeks ahead, so I was told I won't be allowed go any more than 3 days over at most, I should have been told earlier but drogheda has seemed just to herd me in and out without this information.. It's standard practice once you go through this clinic.. So I have at most 23 days left... :eek:
Very exciting cbyrd!
I had my clinic on Tuesday and they are still not happy with my levels so I have to ring the midwives with my weeks worth of sugar levels and the doctors will decide then if I need to go on insulin for the last week, I hope I don't but they are still not coming down!
I'm booked in for my section on the 10th of November although I have strong suspicions I won't get that far, I've been having pains and I think part of my mucous plug has been lost!
I have my last visit to the diabetic clinic on the 4th of November.......I will not miss that place 0 -

Moving house has taken nesting to the extreme. I have 1 room left to sort and that's happening this weekend when the kids are down with their dad til Tuesday! Then I intend lying up for midterm, no early school runs. I'm with the GP next thurs and back in the hospital the following thurs when they'll give me my induction date. He said from 2 days before to 3 days after my due date depending on the next growth scan. I was actually counting in my 14 days overdue..(My last 3 were 14 days overdue!) It was such a shock when he said it!! It seems so very close... :O 0

Spent about 3 hours last night with false labour pains.. I knew they were fakers cos they were too high up and too close together. But it ruined my sleep. I usually only got these kinds of pains when I was overdue. So now I'm wondering if I'm going to go a little earlier, but its probably wishful thinking on my part.. :rolleyes:
Me too! And I'm sorry ladies but I haven't stopped getting sick since 6pm last night. I can't even keep water down 0
