Rach - I need to go and have a good look at your Bitten pics now that I've booted up my netbook Have tried to look on my phone but it's taking an age to load them

We use a plastic tower set of drawer thingies for Tegan's clothes It works quite well, think it cost £15 in poundstretcher and Argos do similar, just the right size for baby clothes

 

[Cherrybinky]

ive got one of those towers actually but its full of convention photos and star spangled encounters LOL I may empty it and use that

X

 

[Rees]

They're handy to have

Just looked at your pics - so jealous! mmmmmm, Alcide.......

Tegan has just amused me by walking through the front room holding on to a dolly by it's hair and dragging it along the floor, she now has her black dolly out, no doubt that'll be banged against something - anyone care to enlighten me why I'm giving her a brother or sister to bash??

Got a BBM from a girl in work about them shutting BB's down unless you put a code in, the code looks like someone's number with a few digits added. Told her it was a hoax that BlackBerry had tweeted about it this afternoon, apparently it was real and she'd seen it on Sky News - really, because we had it on too, obviously we missed that important announcement. Sometimes I want to throttle her and just make her see sense. I sent her the link to the announcement and then copied and pasted their statement, and she's read it and not replied, I told her she'd best tell the rest of her friends.

It's people like her who make facebook and twitter a dangerous place by copying and retweeting wrong information and bad links that'll put a virus or keylogger on your computer

 

[Cherrybinky]

Ive had that message twice on my BBM from a friend but I dont buy it Im afraid.

Joe 'Alcide' was very nice, down to earth, quiet spoken ish but a little anti social and was with his fiancee!

Heres my bump from last week and today.... the maternity jeans and top I have on today are great as theyre flattering for a change!

Lovely bump. I will defo post one tomorrow.

I had my midwife appt yesterday and my pains had gone, so i mentioned it to her and she didn't seem too worried. Today, it's back again The same feeling, like i've worked too hard in the gym. If i still have them tomorrow i am going to take myself down to triage because i'm really starting to worry now, even though i'm sure it's nothing.

Hope everybody is ok this eve. Looks like the rioting has chilled out a teeny bit, thank goodness.

Hi girls, just messaging on my phone so can't reply to all but Rach, lovely bump, I feel better now I've seen yours, hopefully the others will post soon too.

Anyone who is caught up near to all the rioting, hope you all stay safe. Hugs x x x

 

[Cherrybinky]

Jade, I've just been watching news 24 and the rioting hasn't calmed. Manchester city centre is on fire and they're looting and a 26 year old man has been shot in the head!

I had pains like that last week and I took fybogel for 2 days and it totally sorted my pain out xx

 

[xheartsx]

Oh god thats because i've not watched it for a couple of hours i just assumed it had chilled out.

Oh it's horrible pain. It hurts to get up off the sofa and stand up etc. I know baby is getting bigger now and everything is stretching. I just need to remember these things!

Stay safe ladies. X

 

[sunshine623]

Hey everyone! It has been a lot quieter on here than normal the past few days. It's ok for me since it takes me so long to catch up on everything! lol I hope all of you are safe though with all the rioting. It must be bad to make it on the news all the way over here! Stay safe girls!

Han, try not to worry so much about your bump. You look right to me! We're almost 6 months pregnant, so you should be pretty bumpy by now. I, on the other hand, still have hardly any bump though. I really am jealous because I have to hear all day from patients that I'm not even showing yet. Had myself a good tantrum over it tonight when I got home.

Jade, I wish I didn't have to work right now. Even though I still don't have a big bump, I get so tired lately. I think by November I'll be so exhausted I won't be able to get out of bed! I'm sure I'd get bored pretty quick, too, though. Have you started your nursery yet? It hurts when I stand up sometimes, too. Especially at work when I stand up from my stool that sits kinda low. I'm sure all is fine, but best to get it checked out!

Mrs B, good luck with your scan! Fingers crossed that baby cooperates and spreads those legs! lol

Jayne, that sounds so scary! Stay inside, keep everything locked up, and keep yourself and the kids safe! I'm sure baby is doing fine, just maybe sleeping more than normal the past couple days. Have you been busier? I know I don't notice Gus moving as much if I'm busier during the day.

Leigh, sounds like you're getting lots of packing done already! Stay safe with all the craziness going on! Nick's trying to get at me again tonight, but I told him I'm just not in the mood. He's rubbing my back and everything now! lol I can get full body massages out of this for a LONG time I think! lol

Rachel, woohoo for getting the nursery set up! I can't wait til we get ours painted and finished. It's the most exciting thing so far! Great bump pics, too! I'm so jealous of everyone's bumps!

So I just found out my horrible SIL is pregnant now. I feel like a total bitch for being mad about it, but she's so horrible already and now she's gonna steal my thunder, too. Plus her baby will be due right around the time Asher was due so it's like that much more of a stab in the heart. Nick's brother doesn't even want kids yet, and she's still in college so they're broke all the time. So now I'm worried that my in-laws will be doing everything for them and nothing for us. I know I'm being horrible, but I just wish it would be anyone else in the world besides her!

 

[Cherrybinky]

thanks Amy Sadly, its not a nursery, its just a cot in Isobels room

The wall thats green will be magnolia before shes born! It was painted green for Xander when he was in that room as hes Ben10 mad!

This will be more filled with nappies and lotions etc nearer the time.

We also have a pink bunny musical cot mobile but we didnt like it as it didnt fit the cot side properly so I stuck with the Mamas and Papas one.

Hello ladies.

MrsB - Very excited to hear you have your scan, do you have any inkling about what baby might be? Hope you stay safe in the riots X

Jayne - Hope you're ok and the riots in Birmingham have calmed a bit. Its hard to tell on the news, the papers have started sensationalising things now too! X

Leigh - Thanks for comments about Hols, its her final day trekking today, then they'll be flying back on Friday, I just hope they make it safe from Heathrow to Euston train station and the riots don't disrupt the tube services! Looking forward to seeing ya bumpy pic. When do you actually move then? X

Rach - I'm the opposite of you, I've really got a good appetite at the moment, seem to be really hungry all the time, but I think Roscoe must have had a growth spurt! Little 2lbers now they are! Your cot is lovely, similar to mine, great bump pic too! You do honest look slim with a nice neat bump! My bump comes right out from under my boobs and is all hard all over! Its getting quite uncomfy, god know what I'll be like in another 10 weeks!

Jade - Sorry your having the pains again, think you are right to get it checked over, for one thing it'll reassure you, but I'm sure your lovely bubba is ok. Have you looked into SPD? Could it be the onset of this? Its nothing to worry about, just very painful and you will have to rest, but there is no threat to baby.

Amy - I'm sure you will start to show more soon, I remember your last piccy and there was defo a bump coming on! I guess we all stress about something one way or the other, too large, too small etc etc. Regarding the news about your SIL being pregnant - thats pants! Sometimes its just nice to have the attention for once isn't it! Well I'm sure everyone will be cooing over baby Gus just as much, don't worry!

Hope everyone else is well too.

I won a Rocking Crib on Ebay for £12.70 and my friend says she might drop it off tonight, she lives in Carlisle (60 miles away), and it was a pick-up only auction, so she very kindly collected it for me. I'm excited to see it! I'll post a piccy later or tomorrow.

I decided against a moses basket in the bedroom becuase I remember Holly grew out of hers really quick (in about 6 weeks) and I thought the baby would be able to stay near me for longer if I got a crib becuase they are a bit bigger. Then at about 4-6 months I'll put him in his cot in his own room.

I've got a carrycot part of the pram that he'll use for sleeping in the lounge, then I don't have to carry stuff up and down stairs each day. Just need to buy a Surefix Stand for the carrycot to stand on.

I think I've nearly bought most stuff now, just bits and pieces, bedding/matresses etc left to buy. I've got my 24 week midwife appointment tomorrow too, exciting! Then Hols is BACK on Friday and we're off to my parents!

Han Xxx

Hi everyone, loving the bump pics and nursery pics...i love the green colour..understand why your changing it but its a great colour.
I will get some pics up i promise...i took my memory card to asda the other day and im having all 600 pics printed and backed up and then will clear my memory card and take a few other pics to show you all. Just dont want to keep uploading the same pics to the pc all the time and then have to delete the repeats. Ive gotta pop down to the local shopping centre today need the post office and asda which is located there...i wonder if it has been damaged my friends sister works there and her shop was shut up early and there was heavy police presence there but i didnt hear any sirens or anything so im hopeful that its ok. We live on the edge of a very large ex-council estate. It has nice parts and not so nice parts where we live is lovely and quiet tbh even though we are right by a park. I really hope that there hasnt been any trouble as it has a bad reputation from years and years ago but it really isnt a horrible place to live. The rumours have been rife about things happening here but i really hope that our community has proven ppl wrong...i will feel very proud if this is the case. So in birmingham now ppl have even been killed as a result of the trouble...just so sad i wish the government would pull their finger out im thinking it will be the same tonight sadly too!

Baby has been moving lots and lots all night and this morning...defo just taking a rest from kicking me like crazy!

I saw mention of makeup on fb...i have days where i dont bother although i generally tend to put my eyes on which consists of a lil bit of eyeliner and mascara i never wear foundation only if im going out. I never have time to sit and put a full face on...would be nice sometimes i dont know how mums who look immaculate 24/7 manage it. I wish i knew the secret lol!

 

[Cherrybinky]

Bargain crib Han. Im still waiting for my cousin to bring ours round and Im getting sick of waiting now.

I have moses basket for downstairs and cot in bedroom but for our room, I really want the crib for our room! I might look on Ebay and bin her off

X

 

[pink sparkle]

Crib sounds great...yay for getting Holly back on friday, i bet she has some amazing stories to tell you. Hope you have a lovely time at your parents too.

Amy it can be so hard when theres more than one of your preggers in the family, specially when the relationship isnt so great between you. Im sure that dh's family wont treat the babies any differently though and no one will steal your thunder i promise! xxx

Im wondering if i will ever get off my butt and tidy up and get ready to go to the shops!

 

[Rees]

Rach - you've rounded out loads

Jade - does it hurt mostly when you move? Like from sitting to standing and rolling over in bed? Could be SPD maybe, how're you feeling today?

Amy - one day your bump will pop right out and you'll be amazed at where it's been hiding

I know how you feel about your SIL, but in my case it's my cousin's girlfriend. When I was 15/16 weeks with Tegs she announced she was pregnant, and guess what, she's pregnant again, 6 weeks behind me this time, I'd just like to have a pregnancy to myself!

Han - I think they'll be fine now with the amount of police about in London. We move on Monday! So it's all happening pretty soon. We wanted to get in so the letting agents didn't change their minds, and I have 3 days off at the beginning of next week, the following week we're busy with dentist and my scan so that would have made it the end of August, beginning of September and I want us to be properly settled in by mid September so it seemed like the best time!

Jayne - I hope they haven't hit Birmingham too bad I haven't looked at the news today, Tegan actually slept until nearly 9am, which is rather nice so we've have morning cuddles with breakfast and then showers. Can't wait to have a bath!

We're off out this afternoon for a walk instead of packing, we can do a load tonight when Tegan is in bed. Still haven't done a bump pic, need to get my ass in gear now that I've showered

I'm cooking tonight for the first time in about a month Pasta Bolognase, and we've got some scrummy looking garlic and parmasan bread to go with it, yummy!

Hope everyone's well and enjoying today, should stay sunny here today xxx

 

[pink sparkle]

Ive stayed away from the news today, was depressing however there are really nasty rumours now that tonight birmingham is going to see the worst riots yet becuase of the three asian men who were killed last night. I really hope this doesnt turn into race riots. Apparently there are plans for men to travel from other major cities here to seek revenge....im so hoping that these are just stupid rumours is could get really really nasty up here.

Ive got my 28 week mw app tomorrow han hope your app goes well x

 

[xheartsx]

Hey ladies, how you all doing?

My pain isn't so bad today. It's eased off quite a lot since yesterday. It doesn't just hurt when i move, it's pretty constant when i have it, but like i said it's chilled out today so i am putting it down to round ligament pain. I've had lots of kicks and twists etc so i know my baby girl is ok. My belly moves now when she gives me big kicks i love it!!

I so hope the riots calm tonight, it's just getting absolutely ridiculous. Hopefully they will give it a break now and it will die out... i'm an optimist though!

Han, i bet you can't wait to see your girl on friday!! She can tell you about all her adventures

It hasn't STOPPED raining, literally all day today. All i've done is sign on at the job centre, and come home and got back into my jammies! I did save a frog though! It was on our pathway and could have been squished, so i picked it up and put it somewhere safer.. that's my good deed of the day done, even though a cat has probably killed it now!!

I've got pasta for my dinner tonight too, but i can't get fish and chips out of my head!!

Hope everybody is super duper. X

 

[pink sparkle]

Im glad your feeling better and more reassured xxx

I havent done any washing today because the forecast was rain all day and it hasnt rained a single drop! grrr! My washing basket is overflowing too!

Mmm fish n chips...im cooking sausage and mash with carrots (cooked ones) and brocoli!

Rumours are getting worse and worse ive spoken to most of my family just to make sure they all stay in tonight and not leave their houses at all despite how far away from the city centre we all live x

 

[pink sparkle]

This isnt a rant maybe a mini one....i know that parents and in laws can drive us all mad at times...im forever seeing posts about pushy mil's etc and while i can sympathise i wish i had a mil! My dh's passed away when he was a lil boy and i see the hurt and pain he feels at not having had his mum to bring him up and now not sharing our children with his mum...its something he is very sensitive about and i feel his pain for him. Id hope that we would get on maybe she would drive me mad too at times ..i just really wish his mum was around to see what a great man, husband and father he is...even if she may have driven me crazy at times. whenever im on the 1st 2nd or 3rd tri boards theres always moaning about mil's just something i wish i could say i suppose without causing an argument on here ...but it probably would so i dont bother lol! x

 

[sunshine623]

Hi all!

Han, thanks for the comments about my crazy SIL. She gets under my skin all the time, so I guess this is just one more thing. At least Gus will be here first, and they won't be like days apart or anything. And great about the cot for so cheap! I really should look at ebay for more stuff, but I just never think about it. Good luck at your appt!

Jayne, glad baby's moving around more now! Gus is the same today. He hasn't stopped kicking me all day, and I've almost peed on myself a couple of times from it! lol He's already being demanding! lol And thanks for the comments about SIL. Guess I should get used to the idea since I'm sure they'll end up being the best of friends since they're so close in age. Good luck at your appt!

Leigh, thanks! I really would be ok with it if it were anyone else, but she's just sooo over the top and has to try to outdo me on everything. Nick proposed to me on my birthday, so she bitched til Nick's brother proposed to her on her birthday, with my EXACT ring except with 3 diamonds instead of my 1. That's her personality to a tee. I love my ring set and we didn't have to go in debt to pay for it. They were paying on hers for years!

Jade, woohoo for saving the frog! He probably hopped off into a nice place. Hopefully a cat didn't get him! Glad you're feeling better today. Now I think we're all getting more used to pregnancy pains, too. It feels weird if I DON'T have something hurting me now! lol If it's not my feet it's my back or my belly or something. Have a feeling it's gonna get worse before it gets better though. All will be wonderful when babies arrive though!
