Ooh how exciting. Have fun x
And so Operation wash baby clothes has begun! Our washing machine broke Wed and after a mini break down Hubby told me he ordered a new bigger one (his was of thinking of baby) so it got delivered yesterday! So I have just finished my first load of stuff I bought at car boot - used fairy non bio and if all smells so lush! Eek the nesting is beginning!

Glad you have a washer now and I know the feeling. I've only washed a few items but I've never enjoyed washing more than for my little baby's clothes

We had a really nice afternoon out and about- saw a lovely pram/buggy that we both fell in love with, it's a Graco one, we've just got to research it a bit more for size, etc, and look around at prices (we saw it in Toys R Us for £209.99).
Wasn't impressed with Mama & Papa's- very expensive and not really our taste.
Mothercare was good- saw another buggy we liked, a MacLaren, but we both prefer the Graco.
Hubby decided to to use the £100 on me, he wanted to treat me, so I come out of Mothercare with 2 maternity bras (I've gone up a size as well, so was desperate need of more!), a really gorgeous jumper that's a size 10 but has ample room for bump <3
Mothercare has got some lovely maternity clothes, I must say.
We also got a baby record book so that I can put scan pictures, etc in. We both had a baby book and it's such a cute thing to do
Decided that IKEA is probably the place to look at baby furniture, so planning a trip to Lakeside
We then got the munchies and had a naughty KFC on the way home!!! Needless to say, our roast dinner tonight is a much scaled down version of the usual!!
All in all, a great day and I feel great too <3 x

Aww sounds fab. What a lovely day. We have the graco evo. We got the car seat and carry cot which just clicks in to the evo stand. We liked it and wasn't going to bankrupt us. I also wasn't impressed with mama and papa's pushchairs. So expensive and a bit too trendy for my liking

Yeh the Graco we saw (Quattro tour deluxe travel system) had the car seat and carry cot as well, really nice and sturdy, we loved it had so many things with it, for such a good price.Aww sounds fab.

We thought that everything in M&P was very expensive considering you could get same stuff in Toys R Us for so much less!
We got our wardrobes from IKEA and they were cheap but have lasted us 4 years and still going so we think that's the place to look at cots, etc.
So lovely walking around these places, looking at all the lovely clothes, etc and knowing I'm going to be buying them
Very excited to be a mummy <3

My friend did her whole nursery ( cot, wardrobe, changing unit, bedding, rug, curtains, wallpaper) from m&p. it must have cost her a bomb!

Bloody hell, that's eye-wateringly expensive! They had a blanket there that was over £30 alone, and this is in the discount store remember. It was a lovely blanket however we ended up finding a similar one from matalan for a tenner

Yep I dread to think how much they spent. They also got the I candy pushchair plus car seat, carrycot and matching bags etc.
They are both drs so guess have a lot more disposable income than us, but still....
As Paul says it is a beautiful nursery for an adult but not bright enough for a baby!! X

I find it odd that I see a lot of youngish looking girls with icandy prams, I dunno how they afford it! I thought ours was expensive but it's mid range tbh which is a bit scary...
I guess doctors can afford these kind of things, definitely out of reach of us mere mortals
Tbh as much as I wish I had more to spend on the nursery (such as it is!) I don't think I would go for the matching furniture etc. Me and husband aren't really matching furniture types of people hehe xxxEvening Ladies!
Hope you are all well - after a productive day washing baby's clothes I have just been out for dinner with some of my best girlie friends who I met through Zumba. Have not seen them that much recently so was fab having a catch up - and they gave me a lovely surprise with a card and a voucher for mamas and papas! Feeling very loved and blessed right now

We've brought the pram
We went for the Graco Quattro deluxe travel system in bear and friends from Toys R Us, it's got a carry cot and car seat as well and all for £209!!!
It should be here anytime before Tuesday
We saw it last weekend and researched it and it's the perfect side and fit, it's got cute little bears all over it and its a sand/beige colour so perfect for either boy or girl.
Best part is my parents have brought it for us
And in-laws want to buy the cot once we've seen one we like
Going to IKEA at the weekend to have a good look at cots, etc and as it's right next to Lakeside we're going to combine it with a Xmas shopping trip!!

Yay how exciting. I know the one you mean and it's really nice. Good value too. We have the graco evo so not too different.
Enjoy ikea shopping. Do the cots there fit the same size bedding as other shops? I know the adult beds never used to, so just to be aware. You may need to buy all bedding there too.
Can imagine lakeside will be busy but hope you have a productive Christmas shopping trip.
Have fun x

Well check it out because I know adult bed sizes are different. The Swedish beds are obviously different to uk ones, random fact for the day hehe
