Hello beautiful mummies to be!

Centralperk and Jojo.. your bumps are lovely!!!

Lol @ Jolene for waking your hubby up to tell him about the 99 days..Brilliant!!

I think my OH is getting a little bored of the constant excitement I got him a book for Expectant Dads a few weeks ago. Its written by men so is a little easier for them to understand... I asked him yesterday to start reading it as there are things he needs to know. He said that I was going on too much and it was just like white noise to him.. I know he's happy about the baby but sometimes I feel like i'm the only one that is actually excited about it.. Ho humm.. maybe its me being a little over sensitive at the minute..

Anyway.. bean is being very wriggly during the early hours and seems to be responding to my touch, which is lovely. I spend so much time with my hand on my tummy without realising!!

On the down side, I have trapped wind ( TMI ?? ), a varicose vein and bending down is getting harder!! I feel like i've aged about 40 years!!

Sweet dreams all you lovely ladies!!

xx

Congrats to all the ladies now in double figures and for those moving over to 3rd trimester.

I know its nothing to do with this pregnany but I have got to share this with you ladies. I am so proud and excited right now, a right little proud mummy moment. Our little girl who is 11 months old took her 1st unaided steps tonight . Not once but 7 times in all. She looked so proud with herself, and kept showing us how clever she was

So cute! Congrats to your little girl!

Mum2be, what a proud mommy moment! There are so many things you forget seeing your children do but that is def not one of them. It's one of the cutest things they'll ever do too. Can't believe you have an 11 month old! Wow, brave girl!

 

[Central Perk]

Aw that's amazing! What a clever little girl. My son didn't start walking until he was 16 months!

Well here it is third trimester. What is everyone doing as I couldn't see anybody in the third trimester section?

 

[jms895]

Mum to be - so cute well done to your LO x

 

[naomicourt]

Aww well done to your daughter being such a clever girl mum2be2011. She is very young to start walking! No wonder you are so proud. x

awww. Congrats to your daughter. She's going to keep you much busier now.


Faff&Fidget, I feel your pain on the bending over thing. I was trying to bend over to get my son's winter clothes out of a tote, but after a couple of minutes, I just couldn't stand bending over anymore. I feel old and fat.

 

[smiffy85]

Hey ladies! Is anyone else suffering with sciatica? I keep getting in down my right *hmm hmm* bum cheek and thigh! Its so annoying and makes me limp like an old person.

I agree with the bending down thing. When you work in a reception class you are constantly up and down to the kids and sitting with them and also picking up stuff from the floor and I'm finding it more and more difficult now. Also tend to make a noise whenever I go from a sitting to a standing position lol. So funny and my OH keeps giggling at me.

Finally remembered my camera last night so have attached a pic of me this week at end of 2nd tri/beg of 3rd tri!! So exciting altho I have only had a little mosey on the 3rd tri forum so far as its a bit scary all those worrying about labour topics hehehe!

Anyway here's me at 19 weeks and then this week at 27 +1:

 

[jms895]

Smiffy I got a trapped nerve its awful

 

[Jolene]

Very cute Smiffy!!

I know what you ladies mean about bending over. I shave my legs in the shower and it's not so easy anymore

 

[LittleMrs]

Hehe - 3rd tri in the morning for me.

Just asked OH what tomorrow is and he said 'tomorrow is the day we officially enter the third trimester'. So proud. I was worried that maybe he would be getting a little bored by the whole pregnancy thing so I've been trying all the way through not to talk about it too much but it's getting a little dfficult to contain. I won't talk about it at work because a colleague I'm close to is having fertility problems an started treatment today and it wouldn't be fair to her to talk about it at work and I don't want to bore my friends or OH so it's pretty much just you ladies I rant to. It's really nice to b able to see other people feeling excited about their pregnancies at the same stage as me as well. Anyway - just wanted to say enjoyed being in second trimester with you all - bring on the third!

I fell down the stairs today. Luckily i slipped down on my bottom though and didn't hit my bump at all. I bumped my head at the bottom so have a sore head and bottom.

I did call my midwife to check if everything should be ok and she said as long as I feel baby move and that I don't have any cramping or bleeding I should be fine. Baby has been moving lots which is a relief. I know it is very protected inside me but, I still can't help worrying.

 

[Jolene]

Oh no Naomi you silly girl. Glad to hear baby is moving a lot but it is still worrying, isn't it? If you don't have peace of mind you should probably just go for a check up, it will put your mind at ease.

 

[jms895]

Naomi! Hope your ok?

I did that the other week, luckily I wasnt carrying Caine and I landed on my ass but thought I had broken my toe

Hope everyone is ok x

 

[lovealittle1]

Naomi - glad to hear that you and baby are ok. It is really scary falling

 

[blessed]

Naomi glad you and LO are okay!

 

[millward329]

Hi Smithy,

Not having the trapped nerve thing but after a busy day in reception and the small chairs my glute muscles in my bum and thigh are so tight I limp around too. Liking the bump....think mine has had a growth spurt this week as really tight and got first stretch mark : ( Have you told the parents yet, think my set must know but no-one has said anything. I'm think of telling them when they come to parent's evening in a couple of weeks. You gonna be Mary in the Nativity? It would be cool except we may give a live performance!

 

[LittleMrs]

I had a terrible observation at work today - well, not terrible but satisfactory, which might as well be terrible. Tried to be positive during my feedback but ended up crying - could almost see the 'silly pregnant woman' facial expression. Fair comment though, I guess, considering I wouldn't normally have cried. Bad day today.

Naomi - Am now feeling tearfully sympathetic for you and your fall. Hope you feel better soon.

one of our reception children kicked another ta in the stomach today, bloody glad it wasnt me! although i did get knocked in the playground, 2 kids came crashing into me it was an accident, cant wait to go on leave
