Are they the co- sleeping cot Cbyrd? We got a normal cot and took one of the sides off it and fixed it to the bed. It seems to work well but obviously won't know for sure until babies are here! Would of loved a fancy co- sleeper but they were just out of our price range. I love to have the babies in the bed with us, but my boyfriend is very heavy and sleeps like a log so would be terrified he'd roll on top of them. It's happened to me far too often and it's nearly impossible to move him!
Flippyfloppy I am wide awake by 5 every morning and that's it for the day
I've pretty much got used to though. Max 10 weeks left for me. I can't wait!!!! 0 -
It is the co sleeper yes, bigger than a moses basket and neater than a cot so I won't have to re-arrange the bedroom furniture, plus moving her out to her own room she'll be sharing with either her 2 big brothers or her 12 year old sister.. It gives me extra time to decide
I have my 2nd appointment with the diabetic clinic tomorrow and a scan.. Can't wait to see her again!!0 -
That's a great price for a co sleeper. We have a crib already but I spent a lot of all night feeding sessions researching co sleeper cots on my first in the thoughts it might help with my severe sleep problems! In the end I couldn't justify it as I couldn't find anything under 300 euro but I'm getting tempted again remembering how many times I cried after she woke up as soon as I'd try to transfer her to the crib! Someone described it to me recently as being a bomb disposal expert which I thought fitted perfectly lolPut a deposit on the Chicco Next2me cot on Monday.. Its €199 in Mothercare, I got it for €185 in a toy store in Castlebar! Delighted

I had a scan the other day and at 28 weeks he is 2 lbs 2 oz0 -
aww you lucky ladies! Its always great getting to see the little ones, especially this far along since they are getting so much closer to arriving!
I'm hoping for a sneak peek next wed at my clinic appt. I'm not due a scan but my placenta was low at my private scan i got done so going to mention it and hope to get a look in there! fingers crossed! I do have 3 hours to kill afterall since im gettin my GTT done then. Wouldnt be a bad way to pass the time! 0 -

I remember being told on my first that she would have a birth weight of between 7 and 8 lbs .. she was 5lbs 8 and a half ozs
I'm so tired the last 2 days.. I've had a busy week. the house I'm renting is being sold, it went sale agreed last year and I was told because both buyer and seller are in Australia it'd be slow. I got word on friday that the buyers are home and wanted to view on Monday, so a weekend of deep cleaning commenced and it wasn't too bad cos the kids were at their dad's.
So on Tuesday morning I was told that I was receiving my notice and I have to go househunting.. I have til Dec 22nd .. then between gym, early back to school mornings and an ice bucket challenge, I just came crashing down last night.. but my 2 year old had other ideas for my nights sleep.. he's just potty trained and he's dry most nights but i still put the dry nights on him, he woke crying at 1am 2 am and 3 am , eventually I copped that he might need the loo.. he did and settled back to sleep but then the neighbours son arrived home from his debs with 4 or so of his friends and stood chatting outside tll after 4am.. I nearly went mad.. eventually my OH had to go out and run them .. so sometime around 5 I fell asleep only for the alarm to go off at 7.15am..I can't wait til the clocks go back...:D
Kids are in their dads tonight, but my other half is bringing his over... no lie in tomorrow 0 -

I am the same with the weights but don't have diabetes either. Must be winter babies wanting to be as chubby as they can get!
It must be a winter baby thing alright! Plenty of insulation
My sister in law had twins in Nov a few years ago and they were both around 7lb! :eek: I'm assuming you won't go past a certain date? think my sis in law was 37 + 1.
He appears to have flipped back to the right side again during the night thankfully, so I'm getting plenty of kicks again! I just keep thinking of how cute chubby babies are so I dont get too worried about his size! I was told my first was going to be approx 7.5lbs but she wasn't! Either way it has to come out now so no point worrying about that!
God Cbyrd I'm exhausted just reading that! I hope you find something soon. I can only imagine how stressful the next few months could be for you!0 -

Hi ladies
I'd held off posting in here as a good few people on Boards know who am in real life, but I've been lurking in the background, keeping up to date with other posts. I figured, now I'm 29 weeks there's no longer any secret to keep
First baby - girl - Due 22 Nov (although my first scan matches my own date of 20 Nov so I'm going by that instead)
I've had loads of scans etc as I'm a BRCA2 carrier which means I am considered high cancer risk. I actually had ovarian cancer in 2012 & lost my left ovary as a result. It's fair to say we're very excited about this baby, as my gynecologist recommends the removal of my right ovary before the cancer comes back (it's very much expected to make a reappearance sooner or later).
Pregnancy has been manageable so far. Rough few weeks at one point but I find it hard to complain about self-inflicted side effects. Baby has been very active for the last few weeks & the nudges have turned into right little jabs over the course of the last week or so.
Anyway, that's my story ... best of luck to us all (especially for labour) 0 -

Cbyrd even reading your post makes me exhausted! Hopefully you will find somewhere suitable soon.
After you saying about reduced movements natty, mine have been the same. I have put off going into the hospital as it a 2 hour drive and I have appointment today anyway. I still feel them moving, just not as much.
I had my first Brixton hicks contraction on Saturday night. Well that's what I think it was, my tummy went rock hard and it was really painful. I was sobbing with the pain. Don't think I'm going to do well in labour
Welcome one ill cat! Huge congratulations to you. I went through fertility treatments to get here so know how it feels to be in this position when all the odds were against you. It's such a great feeling! Hopefully the rest of your pregnancy will go smoothly for you.0 -

Thanks natty, you are right! Both babies are running out of space and facing inward, so not going to feel them so much sometimes I get the feeling that one is pushing it's foot out of my bum! Gross I know.
Hospital was really busy today was waiting 2.5 hrs for my appointment. There was a pregnant girl and her boyfriend, rolling grass joints in the waiting room and then went outside to smoke it.

Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather we have lately and not suffering too much from the heat!
Its been an eventful few weeks here which ended up with me stuck in hospital for 3 days! Think I over did it on Friday, even though it was only some housework, a light 45 min walk and some baking! Anyway i ended up having to go to hospital at 5am sat morning due to a bleed. Was fairly scary and unexpected as I had no pain etc.
Was given steroids for babys lungs as doc was concerned it was pre term labour and kept in for observations. Baby was thankfully perfectly fine and is quite content to stay put for another while.
Thankfully I wasn't put on bedrest but just told to take it easy and be sensible! Its very frustrating all the same because all I want to do lately is get the house ready for our new arrival!
On a more positive note baby is now head down and doc doesn't think placenta is to low so all looks good for another natural birth The cramps from all the stretching at the bottom of my uterus due to baby having switched positions is excrutiating at times though! can hardly move at times! 0 -

yeah im loving the weather lately. if only we could move our couches out into it!
My daughter is great. shes 6 so doesn't take too much minding to be fair to her. she gets the bus to and from school outside the estate so I dont have any school runs. once shes home she just plays with her friends outside the front of the house or in the gardens and just pops in when she wants to be fed! She's not one for wandering off or getting into trouble so I don't have to constantly watch her.
One thing I realised from my stay in hospital is that I have a load of stuff still to get for my hospital bag! I thought I was fairly organised but how wrong was I?!
have you much things left to organise? My sister is bringing me to IKEA next week to get some stuff so looking forward to that.0 -
