urg, when I weighed myself on Saturday, for the first time since I've been pregnant (though I was weighed by the nurse at 7 weeks and the midwife at my booking in, but I ignored those weights because I was fully clothed and it wasn't first thing in the morning after a pee and before eating anything
). so on Sat., I was 10st 3lb (143lb). I think I was around 9st 9lb (135lb) pre preg, so that's 8lb. not horrendous but not wonderful either. I gained about 45lb with my son, and am really hoping to keep it to under 40lb, ideally closer to 30lb.
I've had a bump since about 7 weeks, but it's just my slack stomach muscles giving out. the actual bump bit is apparant if I suck my tummy right in, and then it sticks out properly at the bottom.
it's just so disappointing when my husband doesn't agree with MY choices! I am the one going through pregnancy, surely my choices should get priority? Adam *was* actually my choice, and fortunately he liked it, too, in fact we discussed it before I was ever pregnant with him and he started calling my tummy "Adam", and I had to stop him because it was annoying me and I didn't want to taint the name. so we nicknamed my bump Brenda, till my scan. this bump has no nickname. we're thinking about keeping the baby's sex a secret from most people, last time we told everyone as soon as we knew (but not the name, at least we told them our idea but not that it was his for definite name). this time I will tell my parents and my brother and SIL (purely because my bro and SIL have loads of baby girl clothes from my nieces they will give us if it's a girl, we already have a bunch of boy stuff from my 5 year old nephew, and we'll have to let them know if we need it because they live in Norway so someone has to bring it over next time they come).
I have blocked out the names my husband suggested because I hated them so much. if it's a boy we will end up with a compromise name that neither of us loves, I think, because he seems so set sgainst Luke.
also, I have lots of names I like that we cannot have because they end in the "s" sound, and our surname begins with an "s" and it's all too ssssss hissy. I love Silas and Linus but they are off limits. for a girl, the same, but also nothing that ends in the "ia" sound, because it will rhyme with our surname. such a shame because I love Leah.
as for cravings, nothing really, tuna, I guess, occasionally. and in general, stuff that isn't salty but not sweet stuff. like unsalted rice cakes with cheese. mmmm. I used to have such a salty tooth but now I like a lot less.
this made me giggle! Mmmm i do love a mcdonalds myself 
Its a really neat bump u got there x
