Hi all

Got my scan date but had to cancel it due to work so have now got it on the 30th October. We are going to find out what we are having

Had a lovely letter from the tax man today a nice big fat cheque which has come at the right time and I'm putting it all towards baby things.
OH had one two but he has chosen to pay off his CC with his.

My little bump is coming along nicely very nearly out of my ordinary jeans but struggling to find maternity ones

Hope all is well with everyone x

Looks like good news all round Jen! x

Hi ladies, wow Ruth congrats on Frankie's 2nd birthday, I'd love to see a photo of his cake, Josh loves in the night garden and I was originally going to base his cake on Iggle Piggle, then realised I'd be best keeping it simple till I'm a bit more experienced. How exciting that we have our scans the same day Ruth, what time is yours? Mine is at 3.30pm and I know that day is going to drag soooooo much!

Lucky you Jen, I could really do with a nice tax rebate right about now, thinking about it I am owed some tax back. Maybe if I send them my p45 I'll get my tax back. Will have to look into that, money is som tight right now. My bump is getting pretty big now too, swear I look about 20 weeks!

It was my birthday on Sunday so we had a lovely meal Saturday night and day out on Sunday and I'm now writing this on my new I-pad 3 from my mum love it!

I felt proper movement from baby today. Have felt a handful of flutters over the last few weeks but this was like a real little kick- amazing anyone else felt movement yet?

[Bec27]

P.s. yes Laura I looked at your pic and voted girl. I'll see if I can attach mine and see what you all think x

 

[JenJen80]

O wow Bec I haven't felt a thing yet but having not been through it before i have no idea what it would feel like.

 

[Bec27]

No I didn't feel flutters last time till 19 weeks so it must just be you can feel it earlier in subsequent pregnancies. Hear it a lot from other women who are pregnant with their 2nd, 3rd etc. It's quite normal not to feel anything up till 22 weeks with your first x

 

[Bec27]

My scan at 12 +6, eventually figured out how to do it

 

[JenJen80]

Lovely scan picture . I can't wait for the next one I wonder if baby will behave and lie on it's back this time

 

[Laura91]

Bec I say boy I'm generally wrong but hey, I have a 50/50 chance x

Hi ladies, how is everyone?

I can't believe it's October tomorrow, I love this time of year I'm feeling a lot better about all my family struggles and am just so grateful to have a wonderful sister and husband I can talk to and my gorgeous boy who is my absolute world- he makes me smile and laugh every day

We haven't done much this week. Went to the zoo with a friend and her little girl on Thursday which was nice, the rest of the week has been me catching up with housework and cooking delicious soups etc. I love having my energy back although I do get tired still especially if I overdo it. DH was out for drinks Fri night so I had my pregnant friend over and we had a take away and DVD evening which was so much fun...thinking he should go out more often!

How has everyone else's week been? Hope you are all good and our little bumps are growing nicely and well xxx

 

[JenJen80]

Hi Bec sounds like you have had a lovely week.

I'm pretty much the same I feel great until I over do it. Yesterday we did some shopping and by the time I got home I was exhausted and was sick .

Did buy myself a Dream Genii pregnancy pillow yesterday to see if It would help me get a bit more comfortable at night and it did help last night.

Today we are off out to lunch with my parents as it's my mums birthday tomorrow.

 

[Laura91]

What hasn't my energy returned yet? All I want to do is sleep still !

Other than being tired i'm good thanks Finding it difficult to get comfy at night just lately so may have to invest in a pregnancy pillow..

Didn't do much of anything over the weekend except sort out housework and relax.

Back at work today and I'm in need of some matchsticks to keep my eyes open x

 

[JenJen80]

My energy has returned now.
Finally broke the news to my boss last night, she was over the moon and gave me a huge hug. It's a big weight off my shoulders now.

 

[JenJen80]

Hellloooo where are we all?

This week has been quite a rollercoaster week (baby is ok). Firstly my grandad had been in and out of hospital with his heart, My mum's dog had a stroke and had to be put to sleep, I managed to drive over something in the road and ended up with a nasty puncture (costing me £70 for a new tyre), And to top it off I had to work a 50 hour week I was absolutely shattered!!!!!
Hoping next week will be a little quieter for me lol. I've still yet to feel the baby move but my bump is coming along quite nicely now and defo in maternity trousers and I find them so comfy.

Having a quiet weekend as I so need it as we have a busy few ones coming up.

Hope you are all ok x

 

[Laura91]

Hi Jen :wave: Sounds like you had a shocker of a week! Hope you had a relaxing weekend to make up for it
I'm around but busy with work so finding time to respond to posts is quite hard at the minute but trying to get on when I can (Always reading though )
Everything's still fine with me, have my 16 week midwife appointment on Wednesday. I can't believe i'm almost at 4 months Where did the time go?! xx

Hi ladies!!! Long time no speak! Just wanted to see how everyone is, how our bumps are coming along and to say that we had our anomoly scan today and everything looks good. And we found out that we will be giving Frankie a baby brother!! I am thrilled, I love the idea of two little boys!! xx

 

[JenJen80]

Wow fantastic news. I was meant to have mine today but due to work I had to change it to Tuesday.

My bump is coming along nicely and has certainly grown this last two weeks.

I keep randomly be sick and the heartburn is bad. But other than that I sleep well and feel ok.
Just about to start my week off which I am looking forward too.

Hope everyone else is well x

 

[Bec27]

Great news Ruth

Enjoy your week off Jen, and Ruth as well

We also had our anomaly scan today and everything is looking good and healthy with our little one. Found out Josh is going to have a little brother too so very excited.

Go team blue!!
