Your room looks beautiful saurelin
We were just clearing out the wardrobe in the nursery to make room for baby.
I was panicking reading about ye with your hospitals bags packed. But just went through my list and I'm pretty much on top of everything, it's just not all in one place!!!
Java, have u bought nursing bras already? How did u know what size to get?
I have to say I cld measured in mothercare last week and despite it being really humiliating with my stretch marked belly etc the girl cld not have been nicer or more
Helpful. Makes such a difference having a nice comfy proper fitting bra...shld have went a long time ago!0 -

Saurelin your nursery is looking great ours now has its two coats of paint finished at last but have to say we both love it & sit in there discussing what to put where
Javagal did you buy your nursery furniture from toys r us? What do you think of the quality etc?
I am very tempted to walnut (dark) nursery furniture as it would suit our now woodland theme really well but it tends to be more expensive!
It must be lovely to have lots of offers for stuff...certainly would keep the cost down! We have been offered a bouncer & bundles of clothes from a friend so fingers crossed they will come thru
Kildareash - that's really splitting everything down the middle in a break up, each having parts of the baby stuff
it's great that they are both happy to pass it on to ye good idea to say yes to all three moses baskets, you should certainly end up with one 0 -

We sorted baby's room today.
Your nursery is beautiful!
I washed all of the baby clothes i had bought for the hospital bag, and i can't stop smelling them
Need to actually start packing the bag soon though.
We had an antenatal class yesterday, and were taken up to see the labour ward, which made everything very real! We'll have a scan on Friday too - i can't wait - I am sure I am having a giant baby, and I'm hoping they can tell me if she is measuring right!!0 -

Kash they should be able to tell you how your baby is growing at this scan they measure the head, belly & femur - if you watch the screen towards the bottom each measurement gives an approx date based on growth (28w 3d etc) so you can see if baby is on schedule by just being nosey don't worry if they are a little off as that can be human error but they should explain all that to you.
My little girls legs were 2 weeks ahead of schedule at the last scan hence the giantness well and the consultant saying Oh that's a long leg
They may well be able to give you an approx birth length...I am sure I saw 54cm on our last scan
Seeing the labour ward must have really made it real...being in the admittance area made it real enough for me :eek:0 -
Do Penney's do nursing bras??
Saurelin - I love your nursery! We have done nothing for our nursery. I don't think we will start until baby is born to be honest, as hubby is so busy these days, I hardly see him
I am thinking of just using the red backpack bag from eumum.ie (the free one from supervalu) as my labour bag..Sure all that needs to go in there is baby's first outfit and a few nappies? maybe a camera?
Was talking to my cousins wife at the wedding at the weekend, she is due in Aug, with her 3rd. She was telling me about when she went into labour with her 2nd. Her waters broke like 5 times she said - there was a flow and then nothing then after a while another flow..she had her baby 3 hours after the waters first broke, they didnt even have time to drop off their first child at the grandparents - had to take her to the hospital, and she was collected there..
I have bought the fairy non bio (if you go to your local co-op store (dairygold probably) you should be able to get the big box for about €20 - should do you for the first few months until you can start using a regular brand)
Towmums, happy build up to the big day!
oh and re:the braxton hicks, yes, i am getting them, doctor confirmed thats what the pains were, having one right now...0 -

Went into Boots over the weekend during that 3 for 2 sale on all the baby stuff. Got washable breast pads, cot mattress protector, Gro-bag (0-6mths I think), cotton wool stuff. We got sleep suits in 3-6mths thinking ah sure they'll be a bit big on him for a while, but when I took them out of the packet they were massive, you'd fit two babies in them!TwoMums2Be wrote: »I now know tesco are on the generous size while asda run on the smaller end - should help with future shopping
Ooh, where did you go to an Asda? Was it in the north or online? I wish they were in the republic!Mink,Cyning,Friday,
one of the girls who was pregnant while we were on the ttc thread is pregnant again,
which lead me to read back over when we were there and read all our posts when we got our positives, im now teary eyed and emotional!
Such an amazing journey with you ladies x
Ah that was a great thread. I read the entire TTC thread from beginning to end - took me several months during train rides etc. I think more or less by the time I finished it I was pregnant, coincidentally around the time I got a new mattress (new bed, new baby)TwoMums2Be wrote: »We have bought 4 or 5 leapfrog twinkle twinkles (violet & scout) as newborn gifts - each & every set of parents have commented on what a god send it is for getting their baby to sleep! So we are def getting one for our little one
This sounds good... but what are theyhave a question - is anybody biuying a breast pump and if so what type etc - or are you going to just wait and see?
Also is anyone buying one of the rockers /bouncers? I think they could be quite handy to put up on the table in the kitchen etc if you need a time to get food organised /prepared or would you just use the car seat thingy?
My sister is going to loan me her Medela electric pump. It's a double pump so you can have both booobies on the go to save a bit of time!
Definitely going to get one of those bouncer things, some babies will sit in them for ages and some you'll get ten minutes out of them.The Magpie wrote: »Are people using their regular non bio or are they using fairy/other "gentle" products?
Haven't started washing baby clothes but I was just going to use the Aldi non-bio detergent I use already. I might research it though and if Fairy comes out on top I'll get one of those jumbo boxes.
Ladies, came across an interesting fact. We will have changed approx 2500 nappies by time they are potty trained. :eek: I really really really hope the cheaper Aldi brand suits this baby, ie; no leaks as I don't think I can afford to buy so many Pampers. We'll see!0 -
