Curvy ladies

[cranberry987]

oh thanks, i didnt think of looking in debenhams. found some on m&p which are cheapish. £18 and theyre 3 for 2. Want to go in an try them on as I got a size 20 off ebay and its mahoosive. Ive got some size 16 trousers from there and theres no WAY im a 16, but theyre perfect.

also ordered a black dress from bon prix. you can always tell an interpreter in the room, we'll be head to toe in black and checking our iphone

Hi ladies how are you all doing? I ended up having spaghetti on toast for dinner. Boring! Dougie went to the shop and got me fruit pastel ice lollies to try and soothe my throat. Its just getting worse!

Im in bed as i type. I feel so old these days! Really happy its friday tomorrow. Rubbish week at work.

Well done for staying away from the chippy han! I will post my bump pic tomorrow when im bang on 18 weeks. I want to see others from you lot too!

Night everyone xxx

Hi all! Hope everyone's having a good day! Welcome to the newer ladies!

Hannah, about the epis, it's true that most women have them here in the states. Seems like it's getting more popular to go all natural though, but still probably the minority. Not sure if I'll have one or not. When we lost our first at 16 weeks, I was induced the night before and that was bad enough. I had contractions all night, and hurt like hell, so not sure if I'll go for an epi or not. To each her own, though!

I'm feeling tired like the rest of you, too! Not as bad as first tri, but I think they're lying when they say second tri is so energetic and wonderful! lol

I'll try to post some bump pics if I can figure it out later. About to go to dinner with the inlaws for my birthday (that was last week), so I'll see you ladies later!

Rach - baby is just moving around and your bump will change

Hi Spellfairy and Mrs B :waves:

Jade, I was 22 when I fell pregnant with Tegan and 23 when I had her (went over due on my birthday, grrr! She came 2 days later, I can't believe I'm preggers again on my birthday! I'm gonna have such a lovely bump this September though, won't be so massive as I was 2 years before when I was ready to drop )

Han - I want Christmas over and done with so I can try and entice this baby out I'll be "term" on boxing day, don't want to spoil Tegan's christmas so baby needs to stay in until boxing day and then it can start to make an appearance (I'm so giving birth on Friday 13th Jan though)

Jayne - Tegs had hiccups loads, I found it so weird to be holding her in my arms when she was having them and realised that it wasn't her constantly punching me but her hiccuping

I think everyone who's threatening to post bump pics should do I wanna see more bumps!

I meant to type more but forgot what I wanted to say and I even have 2 tabs open - one with the thread and one with my reply and I still bloody forgot, I blame Tegs for waking up at 4am, me having to get up at 6:30am for work and not going to sleep until gone 1

I hate working 13 bloody hours, on the bright side I now have lovely turquoise nails (fingers and toes) and it's scan day tomorrow

My food diary has been bad today, I've been a pig

2x nutella on toast
5x crisps (mini cheddars, snack a jacks and 3 McCoys )
Loads of mints
Cheese and ham panini from Iceland (microwave)
and Admiral Pie (low fat microwave meal from Iceland)
2x mini twirls

Bad, bad, bad. I so hope I don't get weighed tomorrow, but I bet I do as bubs is big enough for NT scan now.

Can't believe I've had 5 packs of crisps It's work though, we get bored, had hardly anyone in all night except for a flirty older bloke, who my cashier thinks fancies me, but I think he's got the eye for her eating passes the time in work as does flirting with the customers, he won a bit and offered to take us out for a drink, than god I either use the train or being pregnant as an excuse I really shouldn't show off my chest, but it does bring in the tips

I'd better go, think I need to go to bed, or do some 3D soduko (or however it's spelt) that was keeping me going this morning in work, so might try another one, bloody tricky!

Night night

Hope you all have lovely dreams and good days tomorrow xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Good morning ladies, it's friday! I can't wait to do NOTHING this weekend. I just want to lay in my bed and sleep! My food diary for yesterday:

2 x crumpets and muller light
weight watchers tomato soup and chicken sammich
ready to eat low fat pot of custard!

3 bits of toast with tin of spaghetti
3 mini blueberry muffins.

no chocolate all day!!

have a good day girls.

[cranberry987]

I feel emotionally worn out after this week. Dh isn't dealing with me v well and I'm trying my best to keep it together but the hormones are just raging. Having about 4 cries a day on a good day. Hoping it settles down soon. Weekend of sitting on the sofa with the cats and mary poplins I think

Have a good Friday

Morning girlies,

Oh I feel like such a moaner these days, I'm full of mucous and my eyeeee is so sore plus I've woken with a headache!! Hate feeling crappy and pregnant, it just makes you wish it all away (not the baby - the pregnancy).

I'm on my own again tonight (smiling) so more rest time for me! I was so lazy last night I didn't even have a shower, so today I've got greesy hair and have had to tie it back! Silly me but I thought I could get another day out of it. So tonight I'm not gonna be lazy but gonna have a pamper night, my nails are due for a repaint, need to exfoliate and do my tan too, maybe then I'll feel a bit better.

Rees (Leigh) - My partner works for an independant bookies in the South Lakes area - he hates the long hours, he works 9.30-9.30 each day and often has 7-10 days on before any days off! They are rubbish at doing the rota, only doing a week at a time and never spacing out his days off. He's been trying to get out of there for over a year but we've not had any luck as yet! He hates the place, says its mind nubbingly boring and dislikes the sort of characters he gets in the shop (smelly and beery). So I can really emphathise with you there.

I'll post a bump pic tonight, although holly's not here to take it so it'll be a crappy picture (maybe wait for sunday, I'll be 19 weeks).

I was ok-ish on food yesterday, think I already posted it.

Jade (xhearts) I love those fruit pastile lollies, hope you throat gets better soon hunni.

Han Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

Morning Han, it does make you feel 10 x worse when you're germy and pregnant. I'm feeling sorry for myself this week lol. I nearly didn't come to work, but i soldiered on!

I am defo posting my bump tonight. I might actually pamper myself tonight. My eyebrows need plucking and i could do my nails and stuff.

Cranberry, that's rubbish that your emotions are all over the place. Hopefully they will settle down soon

Han, is Holly excited about a brother/sister? xx

 

[Gemmylou86]

Hi ladies
I was going to have a pamper night last night but fell asleep waiting for my pedi to dry loool.
It's Occurred to me that it won't be long before I can't paint my own toenails lol.
Going to have to train Dan up so he can be chief nail painter/leg shaver!

Tizy what tan do you use? Have you found it doesn't work as well now your preg?

My food diary for yesterday was horrific:

1 x wholemeal toast with Philly extra light.
Tuna mayo sweetcorn in french bread.
Kitkat 2 finger.
THREE LARGE slices chicago town pepperoni pizza with salad and potato salad.
Two Caburys choc mousse
About 5 glasses if choc nesquick drink made with skimmed milk (my only saving grace lol)

Gaaaah!

 

[Cherrybinky]

Happy 19 weeks to meeeeee, Happy 19 weeks to meeeeeee.

Hi girls.

Han, Ive been bunged up and woozy head for weeks, its driving me mad. I have to blow my nose about 50 times a day and Im SO sick of feeling tired/lethargic.

Been to job centre this morning and went in (as usual) with an attitude as I hate the staff there so much, theyre pedantic, rude and condescending. I got there 2 mins before my sign on time and she said "oh youre too early, errrrr can you just maybe take a seat for 2 minutes till your time" I got arsey with her and said it was ridiculous. Then the stupid man when I signed said "have you been working in between now and your last sign on" I said "are you kidding, Im 19 weeks pregnant!"

I took Isobel with me and shes been a little angel all day so got a cookie monster treat from Couplands bakery and a new toy from the charity shop.

I bought one of those baby towels with a hood and ears. Its Winnie the Pooh and was £1.50. Its lovely.

Im not mindlessly watching CBeebies with Isobel and wishing I had a bottle of Merlot and was able to drink the lot!

Hope youre all ok

[Tizy]

Me again!

Only 3 more hours of work and then the weekend off! Yippeeee!

I wish we could all get together and have a communal gossp, pamper session and good old moan, i think we all need it tbh!

At lunchtime I went out and bought a nice lilac nail varnish to cheer me up, will be doing my toenails in it tonight! Gemmylou, I'm already struggling to do toes, Holly said she'd do mine when I can't reach, bless her, she's an expert at em, like her mum! Gemmylou I use Fake Bake Gold - its excellent, its a little expensive (£25ish) but it lasts wayyyy longer than other brands! I put it on more sparingly and then don't bother washing it off the next day, works a treat for me, as you can see (in my piccy) I like to keep a nice glow! At the moment I'm whiter than white tho, not hardly bothered with my makeup today either!

Jade, Hols is really excited, she would really like a little brother tho, as her dad has two little girl, so she's already got two other sisters! I'd love a boy too but won't be disappointed with the other sort! hehe.

Cranberry sozza you're feeeling rubbish too, whn you said you cry 4 times a day, awww I got a little tear for you, cheer up sweetie.

Rach - Oh your post always make me smile, I think its funny that you go into the JC for a battle (I don't blame you), you just made me laugh I'm defo with you on the MERLOT!!!!! Yum!

Speak laters Xxx

 

[xheartsx]

I know it would be great if we could all 'do lunch' or something, but we couldn't be further away from eachother!! I think we're in each bloody corner of the UK. o0o Lilac very nice!

I've got all that job centre lark to look forward to.. brilliant!

I just had a really bad tuna and cheese panini for my lunch. omg it was 'licious! I feel like having a bad day today.

TTFN!

xx

 

[Gemmylou86]

Tizy my toes are lilac today too I can't every get ANY fake tan to look good lol.

And xheartsx I agree we all couldn't be further apart, scotland, hertfordshire, cumbria, leeds and thats just in the last 4 posts. I wonder where the absolute center of the uk is - perhaps we'll meet there lol

 

[Cherrybinky]

I did that post to see how far we were away so in the New Year/Spring we can do a meet up in the middle with our babies (if were all still sane and have money!)

I cant stand fake tan. My friend Sarah uses fake bake and I bought her a lush set of it last year for £30. Im white and like it that way. The more I look like a vampire the better LOL

[cranberry987]

Hiya

At the near end of a v tiring day. Can't wait to collapse in the sofa. Would love to get drunk. Its needed at the end of a week like this to be honest

Gonna make dh paint my toenails tonight. I could do it but to be honest i just can't be arsed

 

[Cherrybinky]

I miss being tipsy and sloshing down a full bottle of red to myself. I cant wait till Xmas ! Express milk to bottles for baby, express bottles of wine to my mouth.

 

[xheartsx]

Oh i am getting on the malibu at christmas, defo! I've never used fake tan either. Luckily my skin is quite tanned naturally so i don't need to! I'd end up looking tango'd if i tried to use it!

Cranberry, i'm with you on the crappy week. It been so rubbish. 2 days of relaxtion. Just what the doctor ordered

Hope you have a nice friday eve xx

That is pants! I normally do 2 and a half or 3 days a week. Does he want to get out of the industry or just the place he's in? It can be so hard to get out of a job these days, I was trying it before we got pregnant again, although when I first started looking for other jobs I was told my period of notice would be a month (!) and then got my contract sent through and it was only 2 weeks! The swines, it totally put me off looking because who would wait 4 weeks for a new employee?


Gem - you can still do you nails and shave your legs while heavily pregnant, there's just a bit of spreading your legs to do it I would sit on the floor with my legs open and bump near enough on the floor and shave with a wet/dry electric shaver and I'd do my toes that way too, even up until the week that Tegs was due I wouldn't let Luke near me with nail varnish and certainly not a razor!

Cranberry - I hate having crappy days hormones are shit


Look at you all, rubbing it in that you can drink at Christmas, I'll probably be allowed a sip as I'll be ready to drop and wanting baby out

My due date now is actually Jan 15th, I think I misheard the last scan lady last time because the 14th was the date I got from the very beginning.

But awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! Baby has grown tons in 10 days! Last Wednesday it was 36.4mm, today it was 54.6mm

I had an 11+5 scan with Tegan and this is the same date now (gotta change my ticker again in a bit!) and she was 51mm and came 3 days late! So it'll be interesting to see when I go with this one It was all good and still for the measurements, we could see it's little heart beating away, she measured the nuchal fold and was so zoomed in I couldn't make anything out! Then she showed us baby from head down and that was CUTE! We saw it's little hands waving about just past it's head and then she moved the scanner so we could see it's feet and they were moving and it was trying to do "the worm" but on it's back

For the first time ever in a scan I had a little tear to my eye

Got weighed today. At this point with Tegs I was 110kg, today I was 111.9kg, so I'm not too fussed! At 3 weeks I was 109kg and have converted that into stones so I'm now 17stone and 6lb (or something like that) so I've only put on 5lb in 9 weeks, and considering all the crap I've been eating I don't think that's too bad

Will post the scan piccies later, tried uploading one of the fb group from my phone but I kept losing signal so don't know if it actually uploaded or not! Will take a pic of each scan and load them up, we were given 4

I've got the rest of the weekend off now, and it's gonna be a sunny one so I'm looking forward to getting out and about in the sunshine with Tegs

Hope you all have a good evening and enjoy pampering yourselves xxx

 

[cranberry987]

Im with you on the bah humbug to xmas drinking, even if Ive dropped by then I doubt bubs will be on the bottle yet. imagine how drunk we're gonna get that first time, bet we're all complete lightweights by then!

The scan sounds lovely, would love to see pics when you can put em up, just obsessed by scan pics. When we were ttc I would look at scans on fertility friend and theyd make me smile for some odd reason even if I was super down about being barren.

Came home to a bill from our garage for the car. They were suppoed to fix the back passenger side door as the lock stuck. Weve paid once and it had been in twice. So we took it back as it broke again, found out theyd been fixing the wrong door which wasnt even broken and they want to charge us again. and the bloody door broke again 2 days after we got home! They can whistle for that bill...

Having hall carpet cleaned tmw. maybe my house wont smell of cat wee then! v exciting. I cant smell it anyway tbh hehe

Enjoy the nailpainting all tonight

 

[Rees]

I got a slightly better letter than you then, my next scan date 18th August, but I'm gonna ring them up next week and ask them about it as I'll only be 18+4 because I've been put back a total of 9 days, but it's kinda nice to think that in 7 weeks I can see bubs again But I'd better tell them coz I don't want to have to go back the following week, even though this time it's in our town and not up at the main hospital.

Hope the garage get it all sorted, I'm so glad that neither of us drives, particularly when things like going wrong with things we own Shoddy work though if they've done the wrong door in the past! Can you take your car elsewhere next time if anything needs doing?
