Simone- you buy it in a can (detergent ilse) and shake it. Then when you spray it comes out in a foam.

Thanks ladies re advice on cleaning the coach. Jellybaby - I think I will try out the carpet cleaner machine at the Spar, I saw it there.

Juandre - what is fabric foam? Is it the same as carpet shampoo?

Maureen - Glad for the extra 3 weeks maternity leave.

Nelria - you're like a book of knowledge! Did Brett resign in the end? I'm sure he is going to be successful in whatever he does - he sounds like a grafter.

Simone_k - no I haven't packed my bag. Babysteps, the nursery is almost done, the hospital bag can be next.

We had quite a cool antenatal class last night. The mommies had ball exercises whilst the daddies all went for a beer at the pub across the road. Then they came in and we were taught how to breath at the various stages of contractions. I really enjoyed it.

Anyway, got a really busy day at work, so might not be able to log on again until much later.

Have a nice day.

Okay ladies, so I have read through everyones posts. Take the pain now as you will find it funny when it is gone, believe me. At least I don't have to get up every 2 hours to pee but do get up to express every 3 hours. And when little man comes, the little sleep will be even less.

SO I now have to go today and buy newborn cloths. Looking forward to it. The nurses and Paed advised me that prem babies don't pick up the weight that quickly, so it can take about 2 months before he will be out of newborn cloths. I have like 3 itemof newborn.

So going shopping. Enjoy your day and the rest of your pregnancies.

By the way I got an extra 3 weeks maternity leave due to Jamie coming early. Not getting paid for it though, but DH and I decided that we will make a plan, as I will only go back the first week in September. SO I have my little man for 5 months.

jelly - I KNOW!!!!!!!!!! I thought that would make peeps happy and it sucks!!!!!!!! sniff sniff now i am back to stuffing my face as eating relieves it somewhat LOL

ok so I saw eve's pic of organiser in babyroom and that reminded me of another tip I have for u ladies

the changing wedge u bought is covered in a towel like material (some might have the plastic ones already) but newborns poop and pee uncontrolobly for ages in the beginning and beleive u me that middle of the night spray poop isnt funny if it soils the wedge and u still need to change baba on it

So u get a waterfproof thing to put o top its basicaly a piece of foam covered in waterproofing (this is like the changing mats in nappy bag - ok for once in while but not every change)

put down your wedge then lay this waterproof sheet on top then in winter cover this with sheet/towel/blanket for warmth under baby - now every accident u rip of top material and buy 5mnths or bladder control u can change straight on wedge - other wise u end up with having to remove cover gazillion times and not easy to pop on and off

or u can buy disposable liners but works out expensive

Anthea - Wish my mom would tell us what to get her. Thanks for the well wishes.

Simone - I have about 60% of my bag done and 0% of Baby's bag LOL. I am also in the cleaning mode. Cleaning my office and cleaning at home. Re steam cleaning couches you can hire a "carpet" washer as spar and get the chemicals to "wash" couches. (works out cheaper as you can do the carpets too )

Juandre - Glad you had a better night. We also have antenatal class tonight.

Maureen - That is Great news . At this rate he should be home with you on the weekend. you have a strong little boy there

Nelria - Yippee!!! You finally have a pregnancy complaint / symptom!!! LOL just kidding. we all KNOW how you feel
