Lapinou Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Lots of excited posts on here at the moment Tomorrow, my parents are coming over to look after our three daughters so DH and I can go out on our own for a couple of hours to buy new things for our new baby! I don't think we've ever done baby-stuff shopping on our own together and I just can't wait! We sold all our newborn clothes after having DD3 so need a load of nice white babygro's and vests and we need a new car seat too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lapinou Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 So was bump a surprise? Nope, it was planned but not far in advance IYSWIM! I just get too broody and s"Ooops, word censored!" all my plans too easily DH is desperately hoping I can find some way to curb my broodiness in a year's time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeckyBoo Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Congratulations! When is bump due, and do you know what flavour it is? I always think that children are natures best contraceptive, the more you have the less chance you get to make any more! I'd like a number 4 but I'm too old and tired now What age are your three (I'm dead nosey, sorry ) Enjoy the shopping though, even going to Sainsburys without three children in tow can be a treat, never mind with your OH AND doing exciting shopping.

Shirl Posted July 26, 2008 Share Posted July 26, 2008 Lucky you. Have you started buying a baby stash of slings? Will you go for a stretchy wrap or do you have a favourite you'll use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapinou Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Hi Mrs Bertie - children's ages are in my signature - 5, 3.5 and 19m and the baby's due in just 6 weeks - eek! We do our shopping online for the precise reason that it's so flipping difficult with lots of children in tow. Bizarrely, my DH enjoys taking them round the supermarket - strange man! I can't stand it and find it really stressful trying to make sure I buy all the right things *and* not lose any children Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lapinou Posted July 26, 2008 Author Share Posted July 26, 2008 Lucky you. Have you started buying a baby stash of slings? Will you go for a stretchy wrap or do you have a favourite you'll use? I already have far too many to justify another although I'd love to try a closer baby carrier! I will probably use my favourite ring sling mostly, or my lovely comfy hug-a-bub (prefer that to the kari-me). And I was bought a beautiful mei-tai for Christmas which I'll hopefully use on my back as soon as I can Bit of a sling addict, me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shirl Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Me too I have about 30. I had a Moby D for when DD was tiny and I loved it. I still pop her in it for 5 minutes every now and then but at 26lb she's far too big for it really. I couldn't get on with RS and pouche when DD was little but use them nearly all the time now she's 16 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

little chickadee Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 So was bump a surprise? Nope, it was planned but not far in advance IYSWIM! I just get too broody and s"Ooops, word censored!" all my plans too easily DH is desperately hoping I can find some way to curb my broodiness in a year's time I find a new pet helps me every time!!! They are a lot less mess and cheaper to keep! Plus now we're puppy walkers for Guide Dogs (See the link below) We get a new 6 1/2 week old puppy every year! Unfortunately you can't do that at the moment though as your youngest needs to be 3 or above! Good luck keeping the Broodiness under control!

Sadly, apart from chickens and fish, I'm not really a pet person though! Could just keep getting more chickens each time though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I find a new pet helps me every time!!! That's how I ended up with my spaniel.. she's such a baby she washed any notion of anything else out of my mind, she's never grown up and is totally obsessed with being with me every minute I am in the house, even on the toilet! and in the bath if she can!... The girls a loon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
