I don't know whether to be happy or not?!?!?!?

The skirt arrived this morning and is GORGEOUS so just for fun I tried it on and ...... it fits
OMG I only (only?!?!? pfft! ) weigh 75kg (10kg under last pre-preg weight).
It still fits just fine on my hips where it's supposed to be so at least that's a bonus as long as I carry fairly high up the same way I did with Caitlin.

Ahh well, looking on the bright side at least I'll get plenty of wear out of my bargin. I said to DH it'll be my "big dinner" skirt ]]> Sat, 28 Jun 2008 19:26:19 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=426619&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#426619 <![CDATA[Have I totally lost the plot?!?!? : Hehe classic. ]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=426140&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#426140 Author: emz

Emz, I "had" to open a maternity shop as my purchasing got kinda out of hand. It all started prior to even discussing TTC.

I sold my shop on the same day I had Mac so have no excuse for purchasing now, except that I have a wee obsession with mat wear. At least I don't have to hide it from DH this time ]]> Fri, 27 Jun 2008 08:54:37 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=425340&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#425340 <![CDATA[Have I totally lost the plot?!?!? : Bahaha!

Bahaha! Me too! (not the due dates though as we'll probably be on fert drugs so who knows when that could be).

Peanut - I think you're *kind of* forgiven. Don't you work in a maternity clothes store if I remember rightly? So if you see a bargain, you just MUST snap it up. It's like the rule or something! ]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 22:17:07 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=425229&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#425229 <![CDATA[Have I totally lost the plot?!?!? : Ok, after reading Mrs Mojo&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=425182&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#425182 Author: Peanut

Hehe I already bought one maternity top too! (Well, I was 6weeks pregnant at the time... But it will come in handy very soon I hope!)
And thanks for those nappy links, I've saved them to my favourites, and as soon as I get that elusive BFP I'll start ordering!!
Oh and of course I've worked out my EDD if I conceive this month (15th March) - can't work it out accurately for future months as I am irregular and can ovulate anywhere from day 19 to day 31!]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 09:41:02 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=424285&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#424285 <![CDATA[Have I totally lost the plot?!?!? : Two Blondinis wrote:Well we...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=424232&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#424232 Author: MrsMojo

LOL.  I've been a control freak my whole life (my mum hated it when I was a toddler) I embrace it.  At least it's coupled with being super organised too.

 

I wish I was a planner by trade I might switch into that sort of career after the baby/toddler years.  In the meantime I will continue to organise things for my family, friends and workmates.

I don't think you're nuts at all ...but then again I might not be the best judge.



  • We don't start ttc until Sep and I'm already ordering fabrics so I can start making cloth nappies.
  • Months ago I did a long range ovulation forecast
  • Yesterday I used the EDD calculater to work out my EDD if I get preg in Sep, Oct, Nov or Dec based on future ovulation dates (and have decided that I don't want to fall preg in Nov as the baby would be due on DH's birthday which he already shares with his sister and niece).
  • I've also worked out our budget for when I'm on maternity leave (in a year or so) including estimated WFF tax credits.
  • and yesterday I also wrote my wish list for the things I want to buy new this time around.

I haven't actually started sewing yet but the patterns look pretty straight forward.  You can get free patterns from http://www.thenappynetwork.org.nz/diy.php (scroll down to the wee weka and shars patterns).  You can get a DIY kit from www.greenbeans.co.nz for around $20 and there's everything you need in there to make 3-4 nappies so I'm giving it a go and if I decide nappy sewing isn't for me I've only spent $20 and can then go and spend a small fortune on MCNs from other stores (cos there's no way I'm doing flats and overnaps again this time around).]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:37:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=424222&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#424222 <![CDATA[Have I totally lost the plot?!?!? : MrsMojo - how do you make cloth...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=424217&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#424217 Author: mummymegs

Umm, you are not alone in purchasing Mat wear prior to TTC. I may have done the same thing . I think one skirt is very restrained. I had my whole wardrobe before starting .

And one more to make you feel better - I have started purchasing again and we are not TTC until Dec.

P.S It is a bargain andthe Egg denim skirts are reallly comfy. ]]> Thu, 26 Jun 2008 08:18:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=424199&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#424199 <![CDATA[Have I totally lost the plot?!?!? : Wow, that is a brilliant bargain....]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=18592&PID=424198&title=have-i-totally-lost-the-plot#424198 Author: MrsMojo
