Oooh my baby bargains...

Well i've still quite a bit to buy

Ordered my travel system from mothercare for £295, reduced from £495 (no car seat though - but to fit marks warrior we need the maxi cosi and base anyway, adn the maxi cosi car seat also fits our pram chassis! So that should be delivered this week - will see if we have a similar palava too Welsmum! ) Here's a sneakey peak of what i've got...

Just started getting my hospital bag ready too - nearly there only a
few bits left to get (nipple cream, maternity pads, babies hat, mittens, some first size vests and grow suits as i have the 0-3 ones and then an all in one) Other than that it's all done...

Sounds like you have been enjoying yourself hun. I love the travel system you have bought too. Very cool! We had a fisher price aquarium swing for Lolly which then got used by 2other babies when she had finishe and finally we had it back for Jake. It lasted through all 4 of them using it and was great. The rainforest range was broght out after that so i'm sure you will find it fab hun! I hope baby likes his bouncer as much as Lolly and Jake liked their swing - they were addicted, and still are, if we go to the park the first thing they both want to go on is the swing! lol I hope you don't have any problems with delivery hun.
We just got 2 new car seats from mothercare (forward facing ones) and a new buggy (Atlan) all for under £200! Bargain. lol Xx

Wow that really is a bargain!!!!

We looked at getting a swing, but i wasn't sure, we just had floor bouncer, door bouncer and play mats for gm so have decided to keep it the same..lol

The pram system is soooooo different to what i wanted orginally but when i saw one i fell in love - and the price was a steal.

I'm getting so excited now!!

I bet you are getting excited now hun, there isn't that long to go, can't believe how fast it has gone! It starts to bring it home to you when you are buying stuff and bringing it home. I loved that bit of it. The shopping bit must be even more fun knowing what you are having too! I loved having the surprise when mine were born and i'm glad i didn't know but part of me would have loved to have known so i could choose things for the correct sex. The first thing i did after i had sent DF home after having Jake was told him to make sure he bought something blue! lol Xx

I loved the surprise with DD too! Although i am so happy that we found out in a way this time around! It's made things easier for Georgia-Mae she has become soooo close to 'bump'.

She kisses, cuddles and talks to 'him' all the time!

I really loved ringing around everyone and telling them what we had after birth though before!

Oh i think it is lovely whether you know or not hun. It is such a personal decision whether to find out or not. There are definitely pro's and cons for both. I think you are right that it would help GM bond with bump, which is really important and even though you know what sex you are having it will still be an amazing voyage of discovery getting to know this perfect little man who has been growing in your tummy for nine months - priceless whatever! Xx

LOVE THE PRAM! Well done! Wish I had known whether we are having boy or girl as mine looks quite plain compared to yours!!

Thanks Lou!

I understand what you mean though as we were looking at the Silver Cross 3d when i was honest and decided my first choice was waaaaaay out of my price range - but i just felt a little deflated like it was rather plain and i really wanted somethng a little funkier this time. Georgia-Mae's was rather plain - although i loved it.

As long as you love it Lou and it is perfect for your needs! Who cares? xx

This is actually the first pram that I actually bought as both James' and Gem's prams were given to me- I knew I wanted something that wasn't black or grey but had a bit of colour to it, just wish I knew in advance like you whether I was having a boy or girl! I do love my pram though, even if it wasn't quite the one I was going to get- as you said as long as it does the job!

I'll go to town on Baby/Gem's bedroom in a couple of months and make up for it!!

You are doing well hun

I love the Rainforest stuff - we have the swing for Sophie. Was almost £80 but it's been worth every penny for uninterrupted meals for me!

Isn't it all exciting!!
