Im having to go to the hospital today for a blood test as the hospital didnt take enough samples last time. So angry as they already had 5 attempts last time and 6 vials. Im by myself this time as OH is still in France til late tonight. Im not so great with needles.

On the plus side: hubby comes home from the stag do tonight 6 days away has been horrid. Really missed him.

 

[sigh]

the belly has been popping out constantly this week... I'm suddenly huge, a lot bigger than other 4 month women I've seen which is freaking me out a little bit. I can't stop eating either... I feel like miss piggy!

Anyone else popping?

Oh I'm huge. You aren't alone. And I do find my appetite increasing. Turns out I have only gained like 7 lbs though which is really surprising cause it looks like much more!

In terms of bumps, I feel like I've had one for a while now. It's more noticable now and I like showing it off. I've been shopping at the maternity store and buying cute little things I feel like in the end I'm going to be the size of a whale. I've gotten stretch marks on my arms, and hips. I think I might have spotted the first one on my tummy

The last week I've noticed my belly popped a lot. I actually look pregnant already.
I've gained 5 lbs so far.

Quick Update: My dad had his heart cath and a stent was placed. He came home from the hospital last friday, but went to a bigger hospital yesterday because he was still having some problems. They sent him home today with more medicines. Hopefully he will start to feel better soon.

Quick Vent- I had a really Sh**ty day at work today! I felt totally stupid and incompetant. I know that im hormonal, but i sure had me a good cry on the way home. Tomorrow is my friday- hopefully it will be better!

Hey! It's a new week for me and I'm now an avocado.

I've got my 16 week midwife appointment tomorrow so that'll be another mini milestone crossed off!

 

[nickibrum]

Well Ill have a little rant aswell- I had to go to the hospital yesterday as they had messed up on one of my samples. When I got there (after waiting 35 mins after my appointment) the lady said that there was NO bloodwork in my notes at all and they would have to redo all 5 vials.

It doesnt really matter as once they get that needle in there they can take as much as they want- but last time they really hurt and bruised me and it was all for nothing. grrr...

On the plus side- i think i have officially popped out now. My belly doesnt disappear in the morning and hasnt done for the last two days. Downside- need new trousers urgently.

I bought our isofix bases yesterday- Halfords have a 10% sale on, and I got just over £6 in boots points by going through treatstreet. Bonus! Still bargain hunting

 

[cookielucylou]

Cant wait for my mw appointment next week

 

[toothfairy29]

I have mine in 20 minutes! Just about to set off. Am expecting it to be a bit of a let down really as I have read loads of posts from ladies saying it was disappointing. I'll report back soon!

 

[cookielucylou]

Mine is a week late(i'll be 17 1/2 weeks) so i'm hoping we can listen to the hb.

 

[nickibrum]

Im on Friday. Do we listen to the heartbeat at this appointment then?

To be honest we have a doppler anyway. Just wondering if it would be clearer on their machines. Dunno if my OH will be off work to come along. hmmmmm

 

[cookielucylou]

I think they say 16 weeks is too early which is when the appointment is supposed to be.

 

[Blu_Butterfly]

16 weeks today! Whoot' shoot! I remember the day I got my bfp, wow 4 months! Doc on Thursday but that's just more blood work but get to hear lo's heart beat.
