Mel - thinking of you today I know it will be a tough day but we are all here to support you through.
I was just as organised as you. I had finished work at 34 weeks because my feet were massive and it was too painful to walk around work. The week before we had Cooper I had washed all his clothes, his towels, the bed, change table mat.........everything. I even short-sheeted the bed. We had the car seat in the car and this was all done at 36 weeks. I guess I was just excited and wanted to be organised. I wouldn't be giving anything away. Even if you want to decorate the nursery different this time, I would still keep all of Nicholas' things. I think you would regret it if you did. I remember when I was in the hospital and I told my mum to go home and get rid of everything in the room. She didn't and I am actually glad she didn't. I guess it was just how I felt at the time. I won't be doing anything this time around. Once I hear the cry of bubs then I will send my mum to my house to wash every thing. I just want to do things differently this time. I don't want to be organised. I'm not even going to buy anything until he/she is born.
Not long now until your big test! Hope you survived last night without being headbutted!!
Bailey - your bub is speeding! Before you know it you will have that bubba in your arms I have no symptoms what so ever! I am a bit worried about that to be honest I have a bt on Thursday to check my hcg levels so hopefully they are rising nicely.
Spring - hope you are having fun with your mum & dad. Are you working this week? How long are they here for?
Happy 9 month birthday little Nicholas. I know you're are up there looking after all of your little friends.
Mel - I really do think you should pack Nicholas' things away for now but hold onto them, you just never know how you feel about them later. If you decide later that you can't use them or don't want them, then you could pass them on. I think if I have a girl this time, I will use some of the things we had bought for Asha, but we did put aside some things just for her. But I guess I won't know until the time comes. It's quite a big thing isn't it?
It is a big decision on what to do with things that we bought for our angels. My mum said to me if Cooper was here and I had another baby would I hand the things down to the next baby. I said yes. This is the way that I look at it. Everything was bought for Cooper and now he is handing it over to his brother or sister. I guess we just need to do what is right for each of us. There is no right or wrong, but you just need to be comfortable with your decision and at the end of the day, you can always change your mind.
