Hiya, I'm due on the 6th.

 I'm feeling fine, slowly getting organised.. Should be making a start on the nursery in the next week or two so looking forward to that!

 I am starting to get a bit scared now as H found out yesterday that he has to go away for 8 weeks on the 18th of August  Just hope this baby isn't too comfortable in there and fancies making a slightly earlier appearance!!

Hi Mozarella,

I am due 28th August.  I go between feeling excited and great, and nervous and OMG.  Feeling the baby all the time and looking pregnant now which is nice - people keep asking when the baby is due.

I am totally unorganised mainly as I work away from home, so far 2 babygros and 2 pairs of socks - need to get the credit cards and H into action

Hi

I'm due 4th August, have done nothing to get ready really apart from buy a stand for the carry cot, but have most stuff from first son so need to get in all down from the loft and have a sort through and wash baby clothes etc.

Need to buy a parasol for the pram and a breast pump as I wore my last one out!

Also am thinking about a home birth so am pondering getting a birth pool for that.

Hope everyone else is feeling well, glad the weather has cooled a bit.

Grapes Mummy 28+3 

suppose i ought to answer my own question!

so far we have

• pram [x2] and car seat
• cloth nappies and wraps
• sling
• 6x babygrows
• 6x vests
• few other clothes [depending on sex lol]
• cot
• crib [h's old one]
• 3 packs of newborn sposies for the early days [keep getting them on offer with extra points lol]
• breastpads
• maternity pads
• cot bedding
• changing table and mat

I need to get a new mattress - MIL keeps telling me that the one that came with the crib is fine but it is 38 years old so i don't think so still i have taken it off her so i can take the size and order a new one.....

we probably look like we have got loads but tbh most of it is from the other kids.... car seat and cot are onto their 4th child with this one - as are the cloth nappies

and meeeeee!! bouncy bouncy!

I'm 14th August.

So far we have:

Buggy/carseat/carrycot (which will get used as moses basket)

Cot and bouncy chair on order

A lot of babygrow/sleepsuit things and vest things - partly bought, partly given to us from SILs

Few hats/sock/mittens

A couple of jackets and cardigans

Sheets and 2 grobags

A mobile, lampshade, curtains, few blankets

A couple of towels and hooded towel things, some muslins

A wardrobe

Ooh, I'm feeling quite organised now!

anyone else to add? sure there were more of us last time....

Hi there,

 I'm due on the 8th of August.  Feeling like we're finally starting to get organised.  Starting to paint the nursery this weekend, H NEEDS to finish off the bathroom in the next few weekends and then decide if we're going to change our car and get that sorted.

Those are the only big things left so it's not too bad. I may have even found a car, we're going to look at it tomorrow so if the dealer offers a good trade in for ours and the car is a good example we might get it sorted this weekend

Carebare

August (ha ha ha) Mummy2B reporting in.

 Due date is 28th August, but fully expecting to go at least 10 days over that.

Not organised in any way, shape or form, and am currently in an ostrich-like denial of the thought of 3 children and childbirth again.

It'll be fine...

6th August for me and Spartacus

So far have got all the major stuff off our lists, just picking up bits and peices now really and sorting the house out. My dad is coming at the end of this month to help us do the nursery.

We sat and did a birth plan a few weekends ago which freaked H out and he got all upset as he seemed to twig that I was going to be in pain, bless him.

Hello!

I am due on the 3rd August!

I think we are quite organised really!  Hubby did the nursery ages ago as he is a builder and I have to 'pin him down' at a quiet time or knowing my luck he will be working all the hours god sends and it will never get done!

We have:-

• Pram (M&P Pliko) in red with car seat and carrycot - bought by mom and dad xx
• Carrycot (M&P) and rocking stand (on loan from best mate!)
• cot, wardrobe, chest of drawers  x 2 with changer, curtains, rug etc. in nursery
• some gorg. toys bought this week from Toys R Us (Play & Learn Garden Friends range) my face is Isaac the Newt!
• wooden stair gate x 2 given by Sister in Law xx
• Clothes - babygrows (loads) lots of lovely hand knitted cardigans from my mom (probably far too many!!) lots of blankets for on pram etc (I know, probably will not use them for months!) lots of little socks, about 5 hats, a few white outfits, some white pram suits)
• Cot bedding set given by friend ( is neutral and may get the pink patchwork one from Toys R Us if we have a girl!)
• pyjamas and matching cardie I will wear in hospital after the birth (still got to get a cheapie nightie for wearing whilst!)
• Burts Bees baby toiletries (on offer in TK Maxx (real bargain!)
• 1 x grobag ( also very cheap in TK MAXX!)
• 1 x Baby Einstein bouncy chair from TK MAXX (£25 instead of £40)
• Baby bath set from SIL
• some lovely wooden toys for baby
• baby carrier for when we all walk the dog! (on loan from best mate)

I have really loved writing this list! It has made me realise how much we have already got!! We have been buying for the past 4 months to spread the cost so it doesn't seem so daunting!!

Got to get a few 'real' nappies and will decide which ones we are getting when baby is here.  Will get a pack of disposables for use in the hospital and the first few days.

What is a pester person??

Hi Swampy,

Can I be added please? I'm due 4th August and my PP is Mothership.

All going well here, feeling a bit impatient at the moment. I know 11 weeks will fly by but it feels like a long time when you are waiting for it.

Hope everyone else is okay?

I'm 5th august, can i be added please

 Pretty sorted with the big stuff, got the moses basket and stand yesterday so just odd bits and bobs now left to get.
