Curvy ladies

[Cherrybinky]

I take it back, I take it back my leggings arrived and although theyre huge my legs are hideous. I never ever wear leggings and its given me a real shock. OMG horrid. Im going to empty my entire wardrobe and sell it all and live in pjs.

 

[xheartsx]

LOL live in pjs! Oh if i could do that i so would! Do you think it would latch on? Maybe a new craze? x

 

[Cherrybinky]

Well round here we get chavs at the local Post Office collecting their dosh with pjs bottoms, tracksuit tops and UGG boots on with their hair scraped back and big hoop earrings in, usually with a snotty child in a buggy so clearly anything goes! I think I could at least embrace the pj look. lol

The icandy peach blossom is absolutely beautiful, i got it priced up but was around teh 1K mark way too expensive for us unfortunatley Had a look on ebay too but ppl were wanting 5-6 hundred for them and i didnt wanna pay that much for something second hand.

Han glad you got on well yesterday, if watching what you eat makes you feel a bit better id stick to it, see how you get on after a week or so...you should defo not deprive yourself of something you really want though x

Rach - your legs looked fab in the pics! I wish you could see mine then you would feel a whole lot better but theres no way i would post a pic of my trunks on the net lol! x

Rach and Hearts - what are your tattoos of? i love them but never been brave enough to have - not only the pain but also want to make sure that when i have something i have something real pretty and meaningful, my friend has a floral design on her back in between her shoulder blades it is stunning its shaded black and white, id like something nice done to incorporate hubby and kids names too. I love miami ink etc not so keen on london ink though.

I know that im a few weeks further than most of you was just wondering how long everyone has until there 20 week scans? Give me something to look forward to.

My sister has just come round and has booked a 4d scan for 26 weeks - 2 weeks to go - she wants me to go with her but not sure as i dont want to end up booking another one lol! Although ive got my growth scan at 28 weeks to look forward to.

Hi Girls,

Bernie, I've only seen my MW once and she weighed me at 8 weeks, my BMI was just under 30 and she told me not to worry about my weight! I so am tho! Only becuase in my experience I've never really lost my baby weight with Holly (and that was 13 years ago!), I'm worried that the same will happen this time and now that i've already put on so much I'm following SW.

Jayne (Pink Sparkle) Mine and Rachel's 20 week scans are Monday morning. I'm so excited, don't want to wish my long weekend away, I get friday-monday off but I'm so looking forward to finding out what we're having.

Leigh (Rees) lovely to hear from you, the cake sounds yummy. I've got my fruit pot to look forward too soon tho!

Rach, are ya sure the leggings don't look ok, I can't imagine they look horrible, its probably becuase your not used to them, what sort are they? I like the thinish, elasticy material ones, not the big thick heavy type. X

Not much to report here. Quiet afternoon at work and home at 5pm. One more day to go before weekend starts!

Han Xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

Jayne, I strategically placed my legs in that pic so they looked ok and thin Theyre really horrible and celulitey!

My ink is in a folder on my facebook if you want a look although its not all there and some shots arent so good.
I shall list it for you:
Left foot: Koi carp with cherry blossom
Left hip: the word Sanity in Theban lettering
Left hand: pink skull with bow
Left wrist: a violet with a yellow middle
Left upper forearm: peacock
Left lower forearm: pink dragonfly
Left upper arm leading to forearm: half sleeve or fairies and butterflies (work in progress)
Back of neck: large pink bow with a 13 in the middle
Under that: the word Carpe Noctem (seize the night)
Under that: tribal squiggly thing
Right shoulder blade: skeleton burlesque girl (my alter ego, CherryBinky)
Next to her: large blue rose with blood pouring from it
Bottom of my back: a pair of angel wings with a lilac heart in
Right upper arm: large black cross with a lily in it and ivy twine down it
Right wrist: 6 stars with curls on
Right wrist: a triquetra
Right hand: skull
Right ankle: cherries with flames behind

Its 18 not 19 lol I was wishful thinking. My sleeve is made up of about 12 indivudual butterflies, 3 nymphs/fae and several flowers and curls but is being re covered and made bigger with full colour and background. Its cost me a fortune!

I also have a scaffold piercing and took my lip one out but miss it

Sorry that was so un intersting for you all LOL

Han, these are from Next £10 each and theyre quite thick but not as sturdy as I wanted. I was hoping for solid material or even ribbed to keep the fat in place. They are well made and very very large fitting. I got a 16 and could have fit into a 14. They have a bump space too.

X

 

[pink sparkle]

Wow rach - i will have a look liking the sound of quite a few ...i love butterflies so interested to see that one in particular.

How daft am i? Just walked to megans school to collect her just round the corner and remembered that i dont need to get her until 4.30pm as she has robotics club tonight...bloody baby brain!

I should have mentioned before that Next maternity are very generous - couldnt get into an 18 maternity from dotty p's, peacocks, new look, but the ones from next have room to grow! Can you return them and get a smaller size maybe? x

Bernie my bmi was 34.something when i got pg and they werent that concerned id imagine its over 35 now eeeeeeeek! x

 

[Cherrybinky]

ooh no Jayne, Im happy with the 16, theyre not baggy but will def give me room to grow lol. if I get a 14 I fear the material may become more sheer and more fat will be visable LOL

I hate butterflies and I had 1 tiny one done when I was 21 to represent my phobia (weird I know but it made sense to me) and it developed into an arm full!

Baby brain is awful! Ive done it loads of times. I went out one day for something in particular and kept saying it over and over again then came home and had forgotten it. Now, I set reminders on my phone for everything!

[xheartsx]

I don't have as many inkings as Rachel but i shall list them!
Left ankle:3 butterflies with surrounding flowers, lovely & colourful
Right foot: 13 starts, all different sizes & colours, some two-toned
Bottom left side of back: Chinese symbol meaning soul, just black
Left wrist: Black shaded treble clef
Right wrist: My neices Shannon & Leah's initials with a big red heart in the middle and little ones around the letters
Right shoulder: Gothic rose (this was my first i got at 16!)

My next one is going to be a big peacock on my right thigh, and my babies name on my left inner arm!

I've had such a horrible day. All it seems to be is problems at work. Moan moan moan, that's all i'm getting from customers down the phone! Bring on 5pm. Han, SO jealous of your long weekend, and the fact that you and Rachel are getting your scans on Monday!! Mine is 2 weeks thursday.

I've had sickness all day today. Sometimes i think this baby hates me already! Xx

 

[xheartsx]

stars not starts!

 

[pink sparkle]

Sound good too...any pics on facebook will have to have a nosy!

I meant to say your food diary really doesnt sound like your eating too bad at all! Sorry your having a rubbish day at work, sometimes i really miss work...i dont know how i done it pregnant though so hat off to all you working ladies! x

 

[xheartsx]

There must be some on there somewhere! I'll dig some out It does make me pretty tired, especially when its shit like today. I'm leaving at the end of July (redundancy) which makes me not care even more about the crap! I'll be skint but i'm actually looking forward to it!

I've not been as bad as i could be. Just sometimes i'm dead aware of what i'm eating so feel like i've been reaaally bad. Been good today though, and gunna have scrambled egg for din dins.

I have to take my guinea pigs to the vets to get their nails clipped tonight and i cannot be bothered! I can't do it myself though, they wriggle too much and i'm scared i'm gunna cut their foot off!

Xx

 

[Cherrybinky]

ooh Jade you have stars like me. Do they represent anything? Mine was one star to represent my friend who I lost when I was 18 but then Gramps died and I added one for Grams too so it got more and more. lol.

My rose is gothic too, I love it, it was a cover up and the blood detail is amazing.

Id love a pin up girl on my thigh but darent LOL

Im sorry youve had a shit day Ive had more nausea last 2 weeks than I have from the start ! Im now stuck what to cook for tea as well.

X

 

[xheartsx]

Honestly? Nope, i just got them because i like them and they're pretty! Oh all this talk makes me want to go and one right now! They're soo addictive aren't they. I actually like the pain of them! It's a different kind of pain.. a fun one!

Nearly home time, and the sky has turned so grey! Definitely thunder and some serious rain on the way! X

 

[Cherrybinky]

I always feel it more for the first 2 mins then I sit back, relax and actually enjoy it.

I didnt enjoy the hip one though, agonising. I had to ask her to do 5mm at a time LOL. I thought my foot would hurt more but I just got leg spasm! Id like the other foot doing too.
I could go weekly for an ink just to chill me out! Ive spent about £800 so far and have been lucky as most of them were done by my friend Aimee who was an apprentice (shes not now! so I got them cheap.
My re work on my sleeve has cost me £300 so far and I have another 3 sittings which I doubt Ill afford now ever

Whoops! I don't think I said hi in my post this morning, so hi Bernie :waves:

As for midwives and weight, I think it depends on what midwife you see and what their stance is on gaining weight and being a bigger lady in pregnancy

Wow, Rach, that's a lot of tatts Why are you worried about childbirth?

I got newborn cuddles today He even snuggled in, he's lovely! For those who wanted to know - she's successfully breastfeeding without having to introduce formula, but she has the 10 day check tomorrow and if he's lost any more weight she'll supplement with formula, although when her hubby goes back to work next week she might change her mind as he likes to feed for about an hour and she has a toddler too (Ben and Holly will be good for her )

After seeing the iCandy peach blossom, I've gone off it and there isn't any doubles that I actually like The iCandy cherry is nice, as is the Maxi-Cosi Maura. The maxi-cosi is lush, I love the wheels, it's so easy to push and a buggy board will fit, so I'm rather temped by that but I'll have to buy the carrycot for it, although my cousin has one for her quinny that'll fit it, so I might buy that off her if she's selling I've come away from the shop with loads of brochures Spent a good half an hour in there looking at prams, how they handle, are they light/sturdy, good wheels, easy to lift up over curbs etc...

So I've had a good afternoon Now I feel shattered, I got tired walking up the hill to my friends house bad times! I think I might have a lie down on the sofa and have a snooze

Hello

Hows everyone doing? Ive just been to pilates and knackered now. Was a class using those big medicine ball things which you basically need to use your stomach muscles for the whole time so I felt like i was in special ed not being able to do anything properly. I miss doing upside down handstands and downward dog! I rly couldnt tho now, cant even lift my leg off the ground in a bridge at the moment, stomach muscles are non existant.

Ive one tattoo, a celticy circle on my upper arm, Id love a wrist tattoo but cant with work, been thinking of a foot one for like a decade, might just go ahead and get it done. Would want some kinda trailing tendrils type thing.

ive my scan in 3 weeks nearly, Ill be 18+6 which seemsa bit bloody early to me but ive checked and they say thats fine

Have lasagne for dinner, been rly good today so gorging on carbs for a reward!

 

[pink sparkle]

mmm lasagne ive just had spag bol, couldnt eat much though just feel bloated and my heartburn is driving me crazy!

Well im logging off for the night...im spending way to much time on line...hubby time tonight hope you all have great evenings and i will catch up with you all tomorrow...no car so will no doubt be glued to the laptop! xxx

 

[Cherrybinky]

I have my hands and wrists tattoo'd and its never stopped me getting work ever thankfully.

I love carbs, pasta, potatoes oooh yum.

I may log off as Ive been on and off here all day and am bored and sick of seeing the screen!
x

 

[cranberry987]

oh no not with general work but im a sign lang interpreter and cant have anything on my hands/wrists like jewellry as its too distracting so a tattoo would just be bitched about constantly. i have to wear black tops and not wear nice dangly earrings or anything which moves basically
