I don't have constipation yet and can't remember if I got it with Brenna or not 
I put on my sea bands this morning and I'm sure they're making a difference. I still feel seedy but not like I'm about to be sick, more just a car sick feeling. I'm eating HEAPS though as I find as soon as I get the tiniest bit hungry then I feel yuck. I hope I don't end up too huge!

I already get up twice in the night for the toilet. Man it's gonna get frustraiting.
Man I just had a huge blow out with my man and completely went crazy at his friend. But he fully deserved it. He was in my house and said something so offending, I tried to see it as being a joke so I asked him to elaborate but man he mad it so much worse. I swore at him and went of crying to my room. DF followed which was fine, but I was like, ahh hello, are you going to tell him to leave and not to speak to me like that. So DF finally went out and said it was rude and to please leave and that he should really aplogise. He was like 'nah, I'm not f'ing saying sorry'.
So yeh, I'm all fired up. Hate streesing myself out like this. I hope i wasn;t overeacting with hormones, but man he was rude.

I have my angry moments but if even a joke is offensive the person should apologise. Cuz not everyone has the same sense of humour and to insult you in your own home... F... him.
Constipation, since I started eating Dried apricots first thing in the morning it is gone and I have no problem going to the bathroom. If you don't get sick of eating them try 2-3 a day in the morning....
Going to bed now so hope you guys have a nice night

Oh I know what you mean Stacey Im lucky and my nana buys it for me, she txt me(yes my nana is groovy and txts hehe) and said that she got me some, and I went there yesterday and she had got me the big bottle! But you have to use it 4 weeks, so im gonna get DF to take it aswell, otherwise it will be a waste of a bottle.
It says on the bottle that babies can have it too  It is great stuff though! Id much rather fork out for floradix than evelvit!

eh, that's annoyung Kassbee. I have only had one and that was bad enough. Last thing you really need ontop of all these pregnant things.
Yay, my mum gets here today. We can go baby shopping.
What sorta pram do you guys recommend. I want to do lots of walking when bub is here so was thinking like one of those 3 wheeler sporty looking ones. But can a new born go into them straight away, or do they have to be in one of those lie down prams for the first bit?
As you can see I'm really (not) experienced with the whole baby thing.

With prams there is a lot to consider..
- price
- are you going to have another bub does it come with a toddler seat option
- does the front wheel swivel and lock (its really cool to get one that does both)
- how good are the tyres if u r gonna do walking
Most people love phil n teds and mountain buggys they have good resale value on trademe too. We got a cheapo 3 wheeler pram from farmers for Daniel and it has served us well however, it doesn't come with the toddler seat option which is something we didn't even think about when we got it so we r going to need a new pram for this one

Definately no plans for more babies too soon so atleast we don't have to concider that. I have looked at both those brands. Is $600+ the expectant price to pay for a good one? It seems so expensive.

Well my pram was $200 on sale from farmers, it was a marine bertini pram. It goes off road with me when I go on walks with Daniel. That pram is always on sale at farmers.
Not having to consider a toddler seat makes it easy for you really. Just make sure you give whatever pram you are looking at a really good push around the store and fold up up and down to see how easy it is. Oh and if you can park really close and ask to see if it fits in your boot!

I have a mountain buggy urban which was $500 and its fantatsic. But we are selling that cos we just got a phil and teds sport, which has the toddler/baby seat you attach to it, buts the pram is a three wheeler still so its good, I hate those double prams!.
The phil and ted cost us just under $800

OMG...I have been away for 5 days and it has taken me an hour to catch up! Lol..glad to be back thou 
Foxxy One and Rachael - I am so sorry to hear about your losses. It really is so unfair....  I wish you both well in the weeks ahead...xx
Sheza - Wow you have had a scary time of late! I am so relieved to hear all is ok with bubs... 
I have just been to do my groceries, and now I am shattered! I might go have a Nana nap...  I was feeling quite good while I was away and only needed to take 3 Maxalon tabs...but since i have been home I have had to take my full quota... I am sure its because we have been painting lately and the smell gets to me... Other than that I have been growing nicely, I have booked my 12 week scan, I go in two weeks...I also ordered a skirt from Womama, it is lovely but doesnt do a very good job of hiding my lumps and bumps appearing on my legs...lol..it came with a free Oh Baby mag so I cant wait to put my feet up!

WOW just looked at the Womama website. There are heaps of nice clothes there. I was starting to stress about work clothes, as I like in a small town which goes as far as Farmers for clothes. So I'm def going to be ordering some things on there as soon as my pants are tight...which is prob soon.

When I was working I got a pair of black dress pants from the kmart maternity range that were great for work and SUPER comfy. I pretty much lived in them at work and they had plenty of give without having that tight elastic which I think gets uncomfy and they were pretty cheap which makes a nice change
