Don't know about an eternity ring - we're married less than a year, so I'm still in love with the existing ones!!
Our baby room is taking shape, we cleared out the spare bedroom and replaced the doublebed in there with a bright red sofa bed. It's still pretty big, but we need a place for visitors to sleep. And a couch never goes to waste, right? We can use it for feeding and cuddle time. I can see it getting covered with teddies
We're hoping to get some decals for the wall. It's already super bright yellow, so I don't think we'll paint, but we want some trees and birdies.0 -

Yeah us too. Married 5.5 months. Pregnant 4.5 months! It's funny watching people do the math when I tell them we're expecting.Don't know about an eternity ring - we're married less than a year, so I'm still in love with the existing ones!!

We still havent thought about what we are doing with the spare room. All that's in there in an exercise bike. The walls are beige since we built it. It probably won't be done until baby is born.0 -

We were very similar, married in August, preggers by October! Especially as he was only in the country for a week from september on. He's convinced he has super sperm now, bless
I don't expect anything at all for mothers day - hubby is getting more and more superstitious as days go by, I had to get all doe-eyed on him this weekend just so he would let me buy some super cute outfits for little Melody!0 -
Do any of ye expect anything for mothers day this yr? My hubby is totally against treating me for mothers day any year as "I'm not his mother"
Meanie
Yep I got that line as well when I brought it up jokingly some months ago. I'm secretly hoping he might just get me a small bunch of flowers or something just to mark the occasion. We usually concentrate on his mam on Mother's day and give her gifts and go out to dinner (my mam's long gone).
Re the eternity ring, I very much doubt it. We got married really young with feck all money and our "wedding rings" were made of silver and cost about €12 each haha. Over the years I've bought various rings and pronounced that "this is my new engagement/wedding ring". Last year I got an eternity ring for my birthday that's made out of silver & has cubic zirconia instead of diamonds. I picked it out from a site that specialises in "fake" jewellery but they actually are quite nice and tasteful looking (honest - I'm not into bling). Cost like €50! So that's my wedding ring this year haha. He doesn't even have his ring, he doesn't wear jewellery anyway as he's guitarist so they get in the way. We're not very traditional.
A friend of mine found she hardly ever wore her jewellery due to her work so she got a wedding ring of sorts tattoo'd onto her ring finger. It suits her though as she's covered in tattoo's.0 -
I'm not really bothered about the eternity ring either, I'm in love with my engagement ring and wedding ring at the mo too. But I know hubby will be begging me at Christmas to give him some ideas as to what present I want, so if might be an idea for then.Do any of ye expect anything for mothers day this yr?

I would secretly hope that hubby would get me a card with "mammy" on it or something, but seeing as I didn't even get a card for our first valentines as married couple i'll be expecting a big fat nothing for mothers day this yr and every other yr for that matter.0 -

Hi ladies!
About the eternity ring - I'd love one but doubt the OH will get one. We're not married yet & next on the list is a house so I'd say the wedding will be a few more years down the line so an eternity ring would be a really nice gesture, even if it's supposed to be the third ring! We'll see, I live in hope!
Another little lady to add to the list - babyheidi is a healthy little girl!! Absolutely shocked - we were convinced that it was going to be a boy! So so thrilled, couldn't be happier. Went looking at baby clothes after it & had to stop myself buying all round me!! It'll have to wait till the end of the month
So so happy, haven't stopped smiling all morning! 0 -

There's loads of girls javagal my bump is about 3 times the size of yours, but it's my 5th so thats proberbly why.
I'd love to start buying pink. Online browsing all day every day but dh won't let me buy a thing until after baby is born, he's very superstitious so I'll be 35-36 weeks before I get buying a thing for my hospital bag. Last time with ds4. It wa early jan (I wasn't due till 3rd feb) and we just went on a Saturday and got a few bits. Ds decided to make an early appearance and arrived the following Saturday so I'll have to have my bag ready this time!!
No news here at all, trying to get everything ready for ds1's communion in may and I'm trying to get everyone's clothes sorted. Haven't bought for myself yet but going to do that in April. After the communion I'll be buying for babs.
My next scan isn't until 24/4. I've the GTT on the 16/4 and I hate it!!!0 -

Hi all,
Mamaheidi - congratulations!!! you must be so excited...
All good with me, was at GP this morn and thank goodness everything is fine, everytime she found the heart beat the baby moved so she kept losing it again - think he/she was playing hide and seek with her...
On the eternity ring - my hubby was looking them up online and we picked out the type of one I'd like but we are going to hold off buying for a while, we have to move house before baby arrives so we have an expensive few months ahead...
On mothers day - not expecting anything, hubby is very superstitious - we have not bought a single baby thing yet, he is so nervous something will go wrong, we have our amonoly scan the week after next - hopefully if all goes well it will put his mind at ease so I can finally buy baby things...
Javagal - you have a lovely bump - def bigger than last pic, it's lovely and neat. I'm just over 20 weeks and bump has def moved up too - feeling the baby moving about a lot more the last few days
on boobs - no leaking yet, but am getting way bigger, my only prob is one is way bigger than the other
just hoping lefty catches up soon!!
Hope everyone had a nice weekend and is feeling well.....0 -

You look great java...when u having ur glucose test? Mines something like the 20th of April. Presume you're having it in Portlaoise too?
Mink, I know there was a record number of baptisms in Portlaoise last year and I'd say it'll increase again if numbers giving birth in the hospital r anything to go by!
Personally, we know 13 couples who will or already have babies this year. Well technically the first one of those babies was born just before Xmas, but we're including him in our wave!
We even randomly bumped into an old college friend of oh's last night and she was pregnant! It's mad, but I'm delighted coz I'll have loads of company when I'm on maternity leave an loads of future play dates 0 -
