Hey ladies! You've all been v chatty so get ready for a long multi-quote! I feel well out of it on this timezone, you ladies have already had all your chatter by the time I arise
In other news I apologise for not being around the past few days. The short version is I have had a lot on at work with a major decision involving my future career - OH doesn't want it broadcast on the net so I'm being cagey for a reason lol - but hopefully it is gonna turn out for the best somehow. So not been in a very happy place this week, both me and OH have been stressed out. But feeling better this wknd.
Bean has been very very active to the point where it looks like he is trying to escape through the 'sunroof' as OH calls it lol. Was at MW on thurs morning and all is well. Measuring at 34 as I should be and all tests are fine.
Woke up to snow this morning - woooop! Not leaving the house though lol think I will just look at the prettiness from inside. Too cold and slippy to venture out lol!!
On a very positive note 5 DAYS LEFT AT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
XXXXX
Hey Smiffy! Sorry you've had a poopy week, and hope things all get sorted soon. Whoop for 5 days!! Cant believe we're getting to the point of maternity leave for all you working gals (in the non-streetwalker sense of course!!

) My LO is sooooo active and sh's taken to having a wander round throughout the night, which is great my already lack of sleep! Lets hope its not a sign for when shes here!
No snow here for us in CA either, which is no big surprise! I do miss the cold though, which I never thought I'd say!!!

It just makes it feel like xmas to me. We got our tree and put it up yday though, which was lovely! Watched Hook on TV as we did it
He
In Susie and bean news.....50 days!!!! You too Beccy. I remember commenting on Naomi's 50 day mark and just the other day is was only 30 left. It's just hit me that soon there will be a whole bunch of new little people in the world, getting so excited for us all. Lots more names to learn and pictures to gaze at

I'm excited today as my best mate from Uni is coming up to visit from Liverpool, yay
Yey to 50 days to you and Beccy!
Sar srom is spontaneous rupture of membranes.... When they do an internal they can see if for waters are gone.
Well im now onto the runs and irregular contractions. I've told this baby it aint allowed to come at 34 weeks. Need him to hold on a few more weeks.
It's certainly making it all feel very real all of a sudden
Hope you are ok Fraggles and bean holds on for a little longer.
Still discussing baby names. Do you all have your names picked out? Or a short list of names so far? I have a huge list and OH only likes 1 still and isn't helping much with giving me names he likes other than the middle names.
We have a shortlist of names but not making any decisions until she is here. I'm one of those who needs to see what she looks like first before i decide.
Hi everyone, so many pages to read again! lol
I have got a huge bruise on my bump and have no idea how I have done it. All I can think of is where I have been leaning over the kitchen worktop to get to the tap as it really does get in the way now! Especially when I am trying to eat, I think half my dinner ends up down my top, So embarrasing.
I am always spilling down myself and have been for a while now! its bad, I seem to have lost the ability to hit my mouth!!

I seem to have bruised my heel yesterday too, not quite sure how! Also, when I get into certain positions or stretch my legs I feel like I've pulled a muscle down there, not sure whats going on?!

Hurts though!
I had such a lovely day today with my hubby and son. We went for a picnic on the mountain and then went shopping. DH took some photos of my bump since we haven't taken any since 28 weeks. Thought I'd share them...
Loving the pics Jolene, you look lovely. I need to take another bump photo.
Anyway, as I have no family/friends here to share it with I'm posting a pic of my tree as I love it and need to show someone!!

My mum is so sweet though, she came to visit a couple of weeks ago and brought us loads of presents as she knows we wont be at home to get any. She also bought baby girl a stocking and filled it with prezzies. Made me tear up as to how sweet and generous she is as they really don't have a lot of money this year. Am missing home so much at the mo
