July 2010 babies!

Hey all, you've been very chatty over the last few days.

Well DP and i have made our last big baby purchase. However said it about first timers being suckers for spending lots of money you are 100% right!!

I let DP pick the pram. He wanted a Phil and Ted and while i thought they were too expensive i let him get it and compromised to get the dash as it was cheaper than the vibe! DP has been working very very hard lately. Soing 60 hr weeks so i felt it was his right to have a little spend up with some of his hard earned dosh.

So we got to Baby City to make the purchase and there are no dashes in the country!!! There's a huge demand out for them at moment. Shop assistant couldn't give us a date that they could source one for us as so many ppl want them at moment.

So i let DP get the vibe! He was so stoked about it. When we got home he put it straight up and has been playing with it whenver he's home for the last 3 days. So while it was expensive i am happy with the purchase. It has made DP so happy and that makes me happy.

And we had our 10% off voucher and they threw in the rain and uv covers for free. So it only ended up being slightly more exoensive than the dash!

Also i've had a good play and i love it too. I has so many features that the cheaper models don't have. Like being able to have baby rear facing (facing you as you push) and front facing. So i am very happy with our very expensive purchase.

sounds like an excellent cheap shopping trip Booski! I'm with you in the 'not sure what my body will be like' club when its done with all this breastfeeding/baby growing. I kind of think that by the time I get to that point, I won't remember what it used to be like anyways! Besides, being overweight to start with, I actually feel in better shape now than I did when I got knocked up, and imagine I'll be a lot slimmer by the time I get my boobs back.

Baygirl, so pleased you like your pushchair! That was sweet of you letting hubby pick it, I'm sure he appreciates it

I don't feel like a whale just yet, though I swear I have doubled in since since last weekend. It's ridiculous, but apparently its the case. EVERYONE has been commenting on how much I've grown this last week!

Have been feeling quite stressed out as Ivy is all over the place at the moment. Her bloods came back all normal though which is a good thing, and hopefully we can figure out what is triggering her totally random behaviour and strange symptoms. Fingers crossed!

I feel like a HUGE whale!!!! I went shopping for maternity clothes the other day, is it just me or is there a lack of matrenity wear for the smaller build girls, I found it completely depressing and ended up in tears as there is nothing out there, and when you give in and go to "normal" shops to find at least something to wear, they all seem so ill fitting now!! I'm too big now for a 6 and and 8, and the 10's just fall off me around the shoulders, as for pants, it looks like I'll be stuck in tights for the next two months. grrr is anyone else finding this, I'm sure it only makes you feel worse off for putting on weight as you're not even "natural" to fit into maternity clothes!

Didn't end up going to the farmhouse either this weekend, DP has gone by himself and now I'm left alone (I miss him already).

Neat about the vibe, Baygirl!!! How awesome it is that you're DP is already getting so much thrill out of it!

Booski: I wish they had book sales like that up here, lucky you! I would be in heaven!

Kali1- Is it a bit unsettling for her knowing that a new sibling is on the way, kids react completely out of the oridinary or in the way you'd least expect them to with things as big as that, even when you don't expect them to have any reaction what-so-ever ???

Moocow- I wouldn't rely on your ex-flatmate ever coming up with the $ unless you give them a full on confrontation! We had the same problem at our old house, we were just lucky that after he did a runner (we then sold the house) he came to pick up some of his firewood (sad I know when we'd given it to the new owners as was after settlement and we didn't need it) and we turned up to drop off more keys to the new owners, did we have a big confrontation in the driveway in front of the whole street, made him feel like he had to pay up.... and he did!!

phewww enough from me.....

Oh no poor Ivy, I hope you can figure out whats up soon.

Haha good point about not remembering what your pre-baby body was like!! I'll admit the only thing that bothers me thus far is the sag in my boobs, and that is because I find it rather uncomfortable when I'm not wearing a bra, I loved not wearing a bra, but I just can't do it now as its too uncomfortable. But I know that they haven't settled to whatever they'll be yet, so I'll just wait and see! Am pretty happy that that's all that bothers me!!

I find that my lack of spatial awareness extends to knowing if I've popped out! My fundal height hadn't changed since my last mw visit - and I don't feel any bigger. I have no idea on my weight, I've been meaning to weigh myself when I get up for about a week now, but I can't remember!

I'm currently stalking a TM auction for some drawers for T's new room - hope I get them! Then I can get to my afternoon nana nap while T is still sleeping (fingers crossed!)

Morning!

Well I had a pretty crazy day yesterday, logged on to say Hi and was nice to meet some of you yesterday at the market But my computer wasnt playing the game

Wow booski - thats an amazing deal on books - childrens books are soo expensive!
Sounds like some are finding some great deals

Im finding it hard to find warm clothes to wear too, but Im sooo not as little as you girls - I found jeans west quite good in my last pregnancy - might be worth a look -being so close to having babe they might have things that you can wear afterwards too

Oh Cassie, poor Ivy - hope you can get her sorted soon x

Are you feeling better Blondie?

Went out to a friends birthday drinks last night - was quite tired by then but it was great to catch up with them - they have offered to take Milla when I go into labour - and they would definately be my first choice - but they live out west - I feel a little mean calling in the middle of the night for them to come out here especially when they have a 3 yr and 5 month old - but I know Milla wont freak out if she needs to be with them for a day or two - so thats awesome

Was a late night but Milla gave me til 7.30 to sleep but she got hungry so I had to get up

Weegee , your little guy is such a good boy! Milla would have torn that place apart - she is far to inquisitive to hang out with her boring Mum

Ok enough from me, hope your all well

Red I've got some pants like that too, they are great! I always try to have a clean pair as I've found with a nice top and boots underneath, you can't even tell they are tracky pants Unless I've been wearing them for a while and sitting down when you get the stretchy knee look lol...

RJ are you theeerrrree??? I might send you a message on FB??? HellooOOOOoooo I need your expertise

I have a coldsore. MW says zovirax is fine, but she's not sure about lypsine I got given this website... www.medsafe.govt.nz but I'm lost as trying to find lypsine on it!! Help
I don't often get coldsores, but when I do, I get them for africa And I'm used to going through a tube of zovirax at a time and popping pills for it non-stop lol. Otherwise I'll wake up tomorrow and I'll have 3 more coldsores. EEeeeeeek help

Thanks Demelza- thats what I was looking for RJ got me on FB too.
Seriously I think I must be a real idiot when it comes to google, I try googling something and can NEVER find what I'm looking for, someone else does it and comes up with the answer really fast. Whats with that

Yay so I'm stoked I can have lypsine (my lesson learnt today: its a vitamin not a medicine! lol, I so didn't know that) ..... Now I'm gonna go get my nazi on and get rid of this yukky coldsore!!! The attack, is ON!!!

Ooohhh. we have tiles on our bathroom walls guys!! It looks awesome! Poor DH, he had a nightmare last night that he got up this morning and all the tiles had slid off the wall lol. I'm SURE I heard him get up in the middle of the night... But he won't admit he had to get up and check the tiles lmao!!

Just adding in my next appointment

Edited by Birdie

Birdie, the Graco and evenflo capsules that you can hire from baby on the move clip into phil and teds with the old E3 attachment (which I'm also planning on hiring for $10 from baby on the move.) I think both of those capsules have bases...

Oh man...I think the ongoing vomiting/ heart burn is having a real effect on my oesophogus. It hurts/burns/stings to heat anything...ouch! Especially hurts to eat fruit (I guess cos it's acidic)...but that's dumb as I'm SO bunged up thanks to the iron tabs and really need to up my fruit and veg intake. Oh pregnancy. So attractive!
