Getting things ready

Comment Published at 11:1411:142 comments2 comments14 Visits14 VisitsReport

Well my consultant gave me a scare last week.. the infection I had is caused by a bacteria that can also cause early labour... so Im having to keep being retested to see if I need more antibiotics. The doctor scared me by saying he thought i had a 25% chance of premature labour. Im under instructions to take it easy and no more long journeys (haha no more trips to the inlaws!). So Im kinda worried but trying to stay calm, its also hard to take it easy with a potty training toddler! So my nesting instinct has started... ie I shouted at John on sunday if he didnt put Ruby's toddler bed up and sort out her room I was going to move back in with my parents! And Ruby's bed is up! Its lovely a white sleigh bed and she loves it. Ive managed to get her to fall asleep in it for three nights running! Quite an achievement as shes only ever fallen asleep on me up till now! Although she isnt going to sleep till 9pm and Im having to lie next to her till she goes to sleep.. but shes been sleeping till 7.30.. she always used to wake up at 5!

Have been researching real nappies, have decided I like the look of wonderoos, they look great. Am dying to buy a big set but need to wait till bubby is born as I dont know the sex, might just get a unisex starter pack then I can add to it. Im also starting to buy stuff we need for the new baby, which isnt a huge amount, unless its a boy when it'll need a whole wardrobe! Thank god John got paid for a photography job this week so we managed to put the money aside to buy stuff. Am buying it all online to try and take the stress out of going shopping. All Im doing is shuffling one street to my mum and dads and taking ruby to a few toddler groups a week. Have abandoned all cleaning.. what a nice doctor to tell John he should do the hoovering.. what a shame he didnt mention the ironing...

Hope everyone is well x

Re: Getting things ready

hey sweetie, very nice with the taking a break and hubby helping out!  I know it's very hard to try and relax with a toddler.. Been there, done that, lol.  But you'll do great!  So good to hear that things are moving along with getting ready for the baby.  Deffinately make sure you have what you need at least not later then the middle of July.  Why?  Cause by then all you'll want to do is sleep, lol.  I love online shopping it's the best, especially since you can see alot more stuff in alot less time, and no walking.  Well, keep on resting and take care hunni,

Lots of love.
