Great purchases Mamaheidi & Silly
Tink fingers crossed for baby girl
I cleaned a little in baby room - still trying to remove the rest of paint from window but slowly I'm getting there.
My hubby pissed me off today - whole week I was reminding him that I have my gp appointment today at 2 pm, and he still didn't remember.
we barely make it as he was playing his stupid online game and he told me that I can drive myself to doc. I get upset as I have only L license, and since I get pregnant I can't drive as I get strong nausea, while behind a wheel.
Anyway, I was so angry that I get really high blood pressure and my nose was bleeding. He get scared so much, that when we get back home he washed dishes and clean one of bathrooms without me asking about it.
I don't like my hormones and 3rd trimester is the most difficult (I think I prefer my vomiting for 18 weeks almost every day instead of emotional roller coaster)0 -

Love cirque du soleil - we went last year, and it was jaw dropping! They've been showing a few of them on Sky Arts recently too, for when i'm too lazy to move my bumAnyway, I was so angry that I get really high blood pressure and my nose was bleeding.

Wow Saur, take it easy! Deep breaths! I hope you're feeling better nowWhat I liked most was you could look at everything and if you didn't like it you weren't obliged to make excuses and go - like you would if you were buying something second hand at somebody's home. There's another one in drumcondra in a few weeks & they have a website in case anybody is interested...
Those second hand fairs are the business! We were really happy with what we got last weekend, and with the savings we made, we were able to get some other bits and pieces too.
I just found out that my Aunt is getting me one of those video baby monitors - hubby and I were planning some sort of Mission Impossible style webcam setup (yes, we are both geeks
) so delighted we don't have to now! 0 -

Have you seen these ones...they're a bit expensive but I just loved the novelty factor of being able to zoom and scan from the parent unit and I thought it was crazy to be able to skype your baby monitor!

Love the video ones but we got the angelcare monitor as I like the reassurance of knowing it will alarm if our baby stops breathing for any reason...I think it will help us both sleep better
Lazy morning here also but have to get up now

Notsobusy - yeah they get great reviews. A friend has one & she wouldn't be without it...she uses a snuza monitor for day naps (it's a little clip on monitor) & I hope to get one of these too
Knowing its monitoring my babies breathing is a real plus for me & it has a room temp monitor as part of it.
I have an in ear thermometer for ourselves. They are great as they are quick & simple
I really like the idea of the soother thermometer that Avent do, if our little one takes to a soother we will get one of those also As she is a thumb sucker already I suspect she will take to a soother! 0 -
I bought some bottles and a microwave steriliser, portable changing mat, and actual changing mat for on top of baby changer today I got the Avent ones: I really don't plan on using them but just knowing they are there is a bit of a relief just in case!
Twomums mothercare have their own version of the soother thermometer too: I was looking at it today: I'm a big believer in soothers so hoping babs takes to them but if not I'm not worried either.
I could not have the Angelcare moniter: I know it would either give me or hubbie a heartattack. I'm going to get a video one
Saurelin hope today was better!
Do the baby nail scissors and clippers terrify anybody else? I went to buy them again today and again I didn't... they bloody scare me more than the thoughts of giving birth: and that's saying something :P0 -

That's great news Tinkerbell
We were given an avent gift set, looks like it will do the job grand. It's so hard to know tho.
I think well just get a normal monitor. I think those angelcare ones will freak me out, I'd be constantly wondering if it was working properly!
Famous last words, but if I can at all
Avoid soothers I will be. My sis nearly choked on one when she was a toddler (almost 50 years ago!) so my mam never used them with the rest of us. My niece still has one for when she's tired, supposedly, but she'll be 4 in June and her front teeth kinda have that semi circular shape on them. I just hate when I see her with it. Just a pet hate of mine, but as I said I'll probably end up giving my baby one now because Ive said it!0 -

Funny how many of you feel the angelcare would freak you out I'm sure we will have the...pick up baby forget to turn off pad & it goes off...scenario but I wouldn't be without the movement monitor
Kildareash you can have it set that it ticks so that you know it's working if you want that reassurance
I had a soother to some silly age (honestly it was ridiculous) but it was a real comfort to me as a child & have no problem with my child having one as a result. They do say it can mess with your teeth but I have perfect teeth while my sis in law who was a thumb sucker did shift her teeth to perfectly fit her thumb & now has braces to correct it. As I know she is already sucking her thumb on the 3D scan so I hope she will take to a soother instead she will grow out of a soother...I can't chop her thumb off

Pic update!!! At least I have some sort of bump now but no one cops I`m preggers still.
I wish I had been that slim before I got preggers!TwoMums2Be wrote: »Kildareash you can have it set that it ticks so that you know it's working if you want that reassurance

See, I have so much to learn. I didn't even know the angelcare made a ticking noise.
I just have odd ideas...like that and my opinions on soothers. I know I'll probably end up giving the baby one if it helps them settle.I dont mind baby having a soother at all. Some babies need the comfort. Minding Ollie today, he wakes up, takes an ounce of bottle just to calm himself and then falls asleep so instead of letting him have the bottle i was giving him the soother and he had a two hour uninterrupted sleep and woke up in a lovely chatty mood!
Aw, sounds lovely. Your getting loads of practice in...your sis-in-law must be delighted.TwoMums2Be wrote: »Javagal I haven't quite had a bum poking out but I'm sure I've felt either little fingers or toes poking out she has def been more wiggly the last few days!
Silly those nose suckers scare me too
I thought I cld see the shape of a long body down the middle of my bump today. It was a definate ridge, even OH could see it!0 -

Kildareash - I do lots of research on things (just ask silly re the uppababy ) but our friends also have one so I have heard it ticking away firsthand you can turn the tick off (which we probably will as I think it might keep us awake) but it's there for reassurance if you want it.
You can also not use the pad & have it as a standard monitor if you want to & I like that it includes a room temp guide...it beeps or something if it gets too hot or cold!
However, people do mention picking the baby up in the middle of the night for a feed, forgetting to turn the pad off (which is very easy I believe) it going off & waking the other person up in a fright so that's something to bear in mind
Amazon reviews are great for getting a feel for a product I love amazon reviews
Oh & re soothers - it's just personal preference you have good reason to try to avoid them in the same way that I'd prefer a soother over a thumb (I do wonder if your niece sucks her thumb also). There are all sorts of ways to encourage kids to give up their soothers if you really want them to...not that any worked for me I just decided one hot summer that I was going to burn them all in the fire (there was many!), my mam was happy to do anything to get rid of them so melting plastic it was!
You might well find you don't need a soother or your baby doesn't take to one & if you do it's no big deal...I'm sure lots of our "plans" will go out the window when our babies arrive 0
