Curvy ladies

[Cherrybinky]

Hi Rees, my OH has all the books and has read them all but I started book one ages back and I cant get into them at all. I read the Vampire Diaries books and they werent as good either. The one thing I hated about the TB books was Sam has red hair in them !!

Having a hormonal day. Bought a sandwich for lunch after driving round for 30 mins trying to find aomewere to park. Sandwich was that crap powdery grated cheese so totally fell apart and ended up on the floor. So I had to go to my massage hungry which ruined it. Then I walked round Tesco in tears needing something to eat but not knowing what. Ended up eating a pack of beetroot

Gonna have a nap. Hope the evening will turn out better.

Hello girlies, i've missed you!

Feel like I'm completely out of the loop, been off work since Friday, so haven't been on BnB and as you know had a crap week last week, so wasn't on much then either. I'm so sorry to put all my troubles on you all, but I did really appreciate the support.

Great news on Dad, he's still in hospital but recovering well, he's been a little up and down with infections etc but nothing more serious than that and we're hoping he might be out by the weekend. It was nice to visit him, and I think the visits really cheered him up, just wish the hospital was a little closer, its 45 miles away!

On a happier note, I went to the festival on Saturday afternoon and managed to stay until 1.30am!!! Oh my was I shattered, but Mark really appreciated my effort and joining in. There were lots of drunk and smiley faces, I managed on one baileys coffee and some hot chocolate, which I am very proud of. It was strange for my mates too as i am usually fairly wild and the last to bed - oh how pregnancy changes your social life. But I'm pleased that we don't have any more events like that planned, and we can now enjoy relaxing and nesting at home together cos I hate to miss out!

I've read through all the posts, so feel fairly up to date with everyone, not gonna comment on everything I've missed, but be joining you all again now.

Oh Sunshine congrats on ya (probably) pink bump!!! You are the first of all us ladies to find out I think....only 19 days left until Cherry and I get our news!

Hope everyone is doing great, on the curvy ladies topic, I went on the scales again on Monday and my god, I'm still gaining weight like no-ones businessness, so I've decided to stop weighing myself for a bit.

Take care and speak soon.

haha, yep, scales are just evil. if they dont tell you want you want then just dont ask

glad your dad is better and the festival was good, things are always easier than we imagine

 

[Tizy]

You are so right hun, things are always easier than we imagine, Its that evil pregnancy dread and paranoia that is often not our friend!!!

Hope you feel better soon too, hormones are tricky to deal with, chin up. Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Hi Han, glad your dad is doing good He'll be back to his normal self in no time. Thats good you managed to get to the festival too. And like you said, now you can just totally chill out and get ready for bubba

I don't have my gender scan until 21st July and it's going so slow!

Also weight, i've put on now about 9 1/2 - 10 lbs, but you know what, i just don't think i'm gunna bother caring anymore. I'll get it off when baby is here.

Hope everyone is ok this eve.

P.s, can't stop eating tonight! Had my dinner, icecream and now want crisps!

 

[Tizy]

Hi Jade,

Thanks for your kind words. Just heard more positive news from mum too.

Thats not bad weight gain, you've made me hungry tonight, so wish I had some Ben & Jerry's in!!! tehehe

I know how you feel about the scan dates, it goes so slow, but your only a few days behind us -13 to be precise. Are you def finding out the sex?

Han Xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

Han so glad your dads doing well, fingers crossed hell be out at the weekend x

Glad to hear you had a good time at the festival too x

Hello to everyone else hope your all well.

Lots of love xxx

 

[Rees]

Oooooh, Hearts, that's a LOVELY dress Enjoy the wedding

Rach - I've just read the latest TB book and oh, my, god. It's good, can't wait for the next one So many good things are going on in it (and bad things). There's one thing I don't like about the book to tv series, they've left out Bubba, aka Elvis! They need to somehow write him into the series But I do like the adding of Jessica

Han - it's good that your dad already seems to be doing so well, it's a really good sign

I've just been trying to catch up on here and watch Baby Hospital at the same time, but it wasn't working, so I'll have to watch it once it's recorded and I can speed through the ads and actually pay attention to the programme Looks like a sad one again though

Bugger, I've just realised I'm gonna get weighed tomorrow and I'm munching a big bar of choc Oh well, it's yummy...

Will try and post up my scan piccy's tomorrow Can't wait to see the baby! When we saw Tegs at this point she wouldn't move until she was prodded then she was turning somersaults and crossed her ankles which remained crossed at the 20 week scan, so I'd like this one not to be like it's big sister

Hope you all have a nice evening and a good day tomorrow xx

Hi ladies! Han, so glad to hear your dad is doing well! When do you and Rachel have your scans? My "official" scan at my doctor's office is on the 7th, and it sounds like you all are right around then, too! How funny!

Hearts, I'm sure you'll enjoy being off work even if money is tight. Wish I could do that! But I guess we'd starve before baby even arrived! lol

Rees, can't wait to see your ultrasound pics!

As for me and the weight gain so far, I've amazingly been doing really well. I don't always eat the best, but I've really tried to put more fruit in my diet, so I think that's helping. A lot of times I snack on fruit now instead of trash. I've gained about 6 lbs by my scale, but only 1 lb since my first doctor's appt at 6 weeks! I almost fell out of my chair when the doctor congratulated me on finally having gained a pound last Friday! lol Better enjoy it now, because I'm sure I won't get that comment very often from a doctor! lol

 

[xheartsx]

Rees, good luck with your scan! Let us know how it goes. Sunshine, congrats on your weight gain, or lack of! That's really good! I'm also trying to eat more fruit, but sometimes its tougher than what it sounds!

Han, i'm defo finding out the sex! I want to know sooo badly!!

Hope everyone is ok today. x

 

[xheartsx]

And pink, sorry you've had a rough couple of days! Get some rest, put your feet up!

 

[cranberry987]

I try and get my dh to eat more fruit and he's managed to eat two apples a day sigh. He eats two bowls of museli, pasta/pizza/chilli in the evenings -he's so fussy and we have to cook two meals as I refuse to eat that crap every night, and now two apples. He does cycle 22 miles a day but seriously, how can a grown man still be so fussy!! Drives me mad

Maybe try smoothies/juice if you want the vitamins in. They're a bit sugary sometimes but a quick way to get loads of fruit in you

 

[Cherrybinky]

OOOOH Exciting day as theres a curvy lady sex scan result coming LOL

Han, Im so pleased youre feeling a little better and Dad is doing well. xX


I hope everyone else is well.

Ive been at college for the third day and was loving the Excel and did my exam today but now Im on word and its sooo easy and boring as its all things Ive done before. Im hoping once Ive done it, I can go onto level 2 to challenge my brain a bit.

I was actually 'embarrassed' of my non bump today as I have filled out a bit low down but the upper part is just normal tummy fat and looks stupid. I put my 'Mother Ship' top on and then zipped my coat up as 2 pregnant ladies got on the bus and put me to total shame with their perfect bumps and figures

Ive been eating so much fruit and veg Ill pop but Ive also had naughty things like take out and fish and chips this week and were out tonight too at the cinema and another take out afterwards :s Ahhhggg. Thankfully, Im still at 10lb gain so thats not too bad I guess.

 

[Tizy]

Afternoon everyone.

Pink sparkle, sorry to hear you've been having some problems, so glad to hear everything is ok tho. Shame about your midwife too, i've only seen mine once but they are meant to be at the end of the phone if you need them!!

Rees, how did you get on with the weigh in and your scan? All good I hope, looking forward to seeing the pics.

Sunshine, Mine and Rachels scans are on the 11th, so only a few days after yours. Its so exciting to think we will (hopefully) know what babies we're having in less than 3 weeks! Well done on your weight gain too. Everyone here seems to be doing really well on theres, mines just still creeping up! Well over 1 stone gain from my 8 week booking in appointment!

Cranberry, my OH has just had his birthday and my sisters didn't know what to get him, and Mark wasn't any help either, so i suggested a smoothie maker (which my sis has cleverly dressed up as a cocktail maker!! with the addition of a cocktail book) I've been wanting one for a while and I'm sure Mark will like it too, so we'll get on the fruit smoothies soon too.

Rachel, hello dear, you ok? Thanks for message about Dad. Good idea to get on and do some courses, keeps you busy and feeling productive! Well done on your weight gain too, doing well now considering how far along we're getting - I'm not! Think I'm just prone to weight gain during pregnancy, as i know I'm not over eating massively and I'm being fairly active at the moment too.

Catch you all soon.

Han Xxx

P.S. forgot to ask, I thought I'd started to feel baby flutters a few weeks ago (early I know but cos i knew how to recognise them, I was sure it was) but I haven't really felt anything proper for a couple of weeks, any one else feel anything yet and if so how much and when?

 

[cranberry987]

I've not felt anything yet but I'm sure its too early and I have no idea what I'm looking for. Will keep some awareness down there tho just in case. Dh was a total wanker this morning so he's getting me a 4d scan will wait til 16w or so I think. Maybe 17. Have my anomaly at 18+6 so before then I think. Can't decide tho

 

[Cherrybinky]

Ive been feeling for weeks now. Its a wiggle feeling really low down and over the last 2 weeks its moved up a bit lol. I get it more at night and when I listen with the doppler I can hear baby moving around, sloshing and a bang with an arm or leg. OH was most impressed with the doppler as its nice being able to hear it for him.

Im utterly fed up Han, I wish my bump would sprout but Im in limbo and have a high up roll of horrid fat and a very very low down little bump but its not noticeable as pg yet as Im upset as I just feel shapelss and gross.

[Tizy]

Cranberry, if your having your anomally scan that early I would wait for that rather than spend the money, then you could always have a 3D scan later at 30 weeks, to break up the last few months. Just a thought!

Oh Rachel, don't be fed up, it will happen soon enough, this week the baby grows from 13 cm to 22cm!!! So you're sure to pop soon, last time you posted you def had a bumpy. I'm looking very pregnant but also chubby and don't have the nice figure you were talking about the other mums-to-be having earlier! Maybe my bumps partly to do with my weight gain, or maybe its water I'm just not sure! But on a positive you're feeling baby!! isn't it funny how we all do different things at differnt rates!

Will be posting my updated bump shots soon and you will see how massive I am!!!

Han Xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Well I'm having scans at 18w 28 32 and 36. I'm sure they're doing the anomaly early so they can repeat it if they can't get all the measurements. They won't send me away without any at all of the results. I dunno tho. Would be nice to find out the sex ASAP. Doesn't seem much point having a 4d once we know the sex from the anomaly can. I dunno tho. Can't decide.

My bump still looks like my top tummy is just pushed up/out rly but if I dress right it looks plain ol bump. If I wear something tight it just looks like fat tbh. Maybe put some nice smock on and stick your tummy out and rub your back going ooh my ankles

I was in the dentists and two women talking about epidurals etc. Im sure they didn't think I'm preg or they would have asked me about it and I'm quite glad they didn't tbh as they were talking out of their arses lol.
