3rd & 2nd Tri MIDSUMMER DREAMERS - Mid July-Mid August Pregnancies! Come join! :D

Does maternity leave start when the baby is born or when you leave work? :-/

 

[yasmin13]

You are able to start your maternity leave as soon as 11 weeks before your due date.

 

[CharlieKeys]

Hmm it seems sad that you only get 3 months paid when the first say 11 weeks you have no baby! Or have I got that wrong?

Hi ladies, how's everyone's Monday going? My DH is in Bermuda on business and he keeps texting me pictures of the beautiful beaches- its barely 40 degrees here.... ugh!

 

[Love_Krystal]

That's exciting charliekeys! Can't wait to find out what you're having!!

I was off today which was so nice! 3 days off in a row after a grueling couple of weeks was much needed! We had my brothers wedding which DH officiated... Other than that DH & I just relaxed and enjoyed each others company which we haven't done in weeks it seems! & we got some work done on our new house!

Yesterday and today I've just about got our rental packed up and ready to move... I still have no idea how we will be in by Friday seeing as there is still so much to do & I can do none of it! But I am praying we can pull it off! We will have to finish it while we live there! At least we've got 4 mos til the baby comes to get settled and ready!! It's going to be a long week between moving and work for DH & I both!

On a happy note the baby has been moving like crazy today! My nephew spent the night last night and it's like the baby can sense when I'm with any of my 3 nephews bc e moves like crazy when they are close to me it's so cool

24 weeks today!!!!!

 

[BattyNora]

Gosh! We're all really ploughing through this nine months - it's so scary!!

Good luck with the scan CharlieKeys - I'm not going to be around after Friday until the 18th - off on my holibobs - but have already got a reminder in my head to come and have a look on the 5th!!

 

[Mal]

not sure if its to late to join but I am due August 16th and found out today I am teamnpink.

 

[CharlieKeys]

ahh Hi Mal and congrats on Team Pink!

and Natalie - you're 24 weeks! Only a week until V-Day!!!

Batty - where you going? Anywhere nice??

Love_Krystal - you're gonna be shattered after this week! Hope the move goes ok

 

[natalie85]

I'm confused I thought 24weeks was viable???

 

[CharlieKeys]

ooh maybe it is? :-/ I thought it was 25 weeks....I'm probs wrong so Happy V Day!

 

[xsarahbellax]

Hi Samira, can you update the first post please... 20 week scan went well yesterday & we're team blue! Xx

 

[samzi]

Its 24 weeks although the other day i got told it was 23. When i was expecting my daughter it was 24 so unless its changed since last year then im not sure

 

[BattyNora]

Welcome to new ladies!!

Congrats on the colourful bumps as well ladies! Looking like August is a close call between hamburgers and hotdogs!

I think it is 24 weeks in most places; but it depends on the hospital and what facilities they have(?).

Oh - good luck with the move Krystal!!

Anyone watch OBEM last night? Taped it and watched the start this morning while having breakfast - can already tell I'll be blubbing my eyes out!!!

sorted out my "holiday pile"; all nice and ironed and ready to whack into the suitcase. We're off to on a LA, Las Vegas, San Diego road trip type hol..4 days in each and a day driving for each. SO excited.....go myself some stretchy shorts and skirts and loads of vests...BRING ON THE SUNSHINE!!
