Homebirthing Princess that pram is absolutely amazing. I bet it will be wonderful for you to push Willow around in it and you will get tonnes of compliments on it I am guessing.

In relation to the stress you are going through at the moment we have a lot going on this end so can sympathise with you (although that will not make you feel any better sorry). I really hope that your dh picks up a new and better job soon and in the meantime that Willow arrives in time for him to get his paternity leave so that you can at least stop having to worry about that. Please try to take care of yourself as mammys can tend to put themselves last and you need care too. (((hugs)))

Home birthing is that a silver cross????
Love it!
And yay, there is someone else that shares my adoration of that style of pram
I would have LOVED a silver cross, but from a practicality perspective, it just wasn't going to happen.
But I'm really happy with what we did get, the Emmaljunga Duo Combi in cream leather. Absolutely adore it here it is...

Lassie that is a really lovely pram and I love the cream too.

Thanks HB, your pram looks fab! I hope your little lady doesn't keep you waiting too long.

I'm getting worried now - I still haven't sorted out a travel system or a car seat. I kind of know what I'm getting (just a fairly cheap Graco one) as I can't afford to splash out on anything fancy, but I don't think you can buy it over here and they are all so expensive here anyway so I'm planning on buying it for my mum to bring over when she flies here in April. Not sure what happens if the baby decides to come early though and I hate being so disorganised!
In fact I've hardly got anything, I haven't even properly sorted through the clothes to find out what I need to buy. I ordered some more bottles and a steriliser the other day just in case I'm a complete failure at breastfeeding again, and I have a hanging crib - but not hooks for it to hang on at the moment!!

The thought that the baby could actually be here in 7 weeks is starting to scare me as I am so not ready!!!!

Has everyone else pretty much got everything they need now? xx

Im in the same boat mummypink, i literally have a bed and about 4 outfits for our baby, financial stuff is bad for us atm so i feel like all baby buying has been put on the back burner, i do have a nursing pillow coming from america that i got at a great price on ebay its the JJ Cole one so im excited to get that. The pram i will be using the one we have already, it just needs a good clean. As for car seat, i will be handing down DD's one also and just getting her a booster, i had my birthday just over a week ago and my darling brother gave me a $100 gift card to use at target, so i am just waithing for them to go on sale. Then i think i will just start putting newborn nappies in the weekly shopping so that i can have a decent stock pile by the time baby is due, DD is out of nappies now so that is one bonus i guess.

Awww what a fab brother Cinss! Hope you manage to grab some bargains at Target.

We're the same, my hubby has been out of work for over a year and has only just been given some temporary work for a few weeks so we're trying to be really careful with money. I had planned to use my old travel system but unfortunately it was hanging up in the garage and some wasps built a nest in it and completely wrecked it! My baby car seat is at my mums in the UK and a lot of the travel systems I've been looking at have one included so I figured may as well leave the old one at her house for if we need it for visits.

My two have been out of nappies for a while so I really need to get back into the habit of grabbing a pack or two with my grocery shops! I've got one pack so far lol! I need to start stocking up on wipes and all the basic stuff like that too.

I'm going to a baby fair in a few weeks time so I'm hoping I may pick up some bargains there and even maybe get a travel system.

A friend of mine is selling a black and pink version of the one you have Lassie so if I was having a girl I would probably have bought it from her as it has been well looked after. Not sure hubby would be too pleased if I put our new little man into a pushchair with pink on it though haha!

How is everyone feeling? I've been getting quite nauseous again on and off. Not to the point of being sick but just off food really, I haven't had much of an appetite at all this pregnancy and just feel like picking at food rather than eating a normal meal. I'm tending to have just fruit and toast or something for lunch otherwise by dinner I just can't eat anything. I feel so full and uncomfortable like I've absolutely stuffed myself.

Getting so much movement still, my bump has dropped and I think the baby is head down but the movement is all over the place so hard to tell. Some is so low down I feel like a hand is going to pop out lol!! Hopefully when I have my scan next week they will tell me the baby is head down and in a good position.

My little boys told me the other day that they wanted a baby each, ds1 wants a boy baby and ds2 wants a lady baby. They have been saying this for ages so I'll be reassured to double check there is only one baby in there at my scan! Although to be honest if I did have another one in there I would be over the moon to have twins if it was a boy and a girl. Very unlikely they didn't spot it at my 18 week scan though! I've still got my tandem buggy too so that would solve a problem there lol!!

I am the same this end in relation to getting stuff for the baby aswell, have not bought too much. Ds1 has just turned 3 and he is out of his cot so we have just bought a new mattress for that. When Ds2 arrived in the summer of 2011 we bought the Bugaboo Donkey as it just came out at this time and we have bought a new mattress for this and will be using it again with this little one. I also bought the pink canvas set for it. We have just got a buggy board for the back of it for ds1. The maxi cosi car seat I already have again stored away from ds2 and I got a Tommee Tippee Steriliser in the sales for €7 believe it or not and tomme tippee bottles reduced to €19 for a pack of 6. Nappies and bits and pieces I am only starting to pick up on baby offers here when I see them in the supermarket. My mum ordered me a new highchair as a gift as the boys have pretty much wrecked the one I had and dh bought me a new baby bag.

I can not believe how quickly the time is flying in. It is amazing to think that all our little ones will be here in a matter of months.
