March 2013 babies - we all have our beautiful babies :)

Lovely bumps ladies. Hope everyone is well.

I've got faded stretch marks from a quick growth spurt in my teens plus gaining weight in my 20's which I lost and was maintaining before getting pregnant. New ones have appeared towards the top of my bump. That part of my skin hasn't been stretched before so it doesn't surprise me.

Got my next midwife appointment on Tues and my ticker has finally changed!

I'm kinda hoping it snows here overnight and the tubes don't work in the morning so I can have the day off work but don't think it will snow that much.
 
Lovely bumps :flower:

Bladesgirl: Sorry to hear your unwell but glad baby is fine. Hopefully you can take it as easy as possible :flower:

i actually managed at the in laws today to go to the loo alone! I did think earlier I'm going to have to get used to two in the audience! :haha:

Oh walked in on me earlier trying to trim, I just yelled at him as he made me jump out of my skin! I wasn't exactly in the most glamorous positions so I got all flustered, then I couldn't stop laughing which, as you can imagine, made the task even more difficult! :rofl:
 
Well ladies it looks like I now know what Braxton Hicks feels like. I've been getting this tightening feeling in my bump for about 2 days now, of course it's on and off but tonight I realized that this could be braxton hicks.
 
Lovely bumps ladies!! Ill have to take a new pic soon.. See how much I've changed!!

Starting next weekend we are working on the nursery!! Oh and my friend are going to paint it :) then I can start organizing!! I have so much stuff piled in there right now its hard to move around!!
 
I think I have 2 braxton hicks maybe!! Just where my belly went super hard!! But that's it lol!! Not really sure what I should be looking for with them or wether I'm meant to get them!

I have finished our nursery now just need to fix the shelf to the wall so it can't fall and maybe buy a nursing chair and I would like a rug lol but the OH days that's not important!
 
Ahh nursery organising is so exciting :) mine is more or less finished but I do need to finish tidying it. I think I will do it when I'm on maternity leave so I can remind myself of everything we have in there before Alfie arrives!
 
Exciting with all the nuserys getting done. The decorator is at my house as I type, painting our room :happydance: Once that is done I can finally get the furniture sorted, I have it all, it just needs putting together :)
 
Our nursery is done bar getting a chair. It looks lovely and I love just going in there to have another look! :happydance:
 
rose - it was fun to do a photoshoot! I just hope we like at least ONE photo :wacko: We're both very critical of ourselves in photos…lol. And you'd be surprised how many photogs can fit you in on a couple days notice this time of year…it's a dead market until spring. So if you want to do one, go for it! And lovely bump (definitely photogenic)!!

sportys - congrats on 31 weeks! Lovely bump :flower:

baby_bray - I'm only itchy on certain days more than others but I'll check out Sarna…thanks for the tip! RE stretch marks, I've been slathering on Mustela's anti-stretchmark cream since week 14 and so far so good on my belly. I already had stretch marks on my lower back and bum from a growth spurt when I was young (like Kte and Lou) so if more have appeared in those areas, I wouldn't know! :shrug:

anna - I'm super uncomfortable now too…since about 5 days ago I just feel so huge and icky…my back has been killing me and my innards are sore from getting kicked about!!!

paula - I was thinking of switching to doing weekly photos myself…I used to do one every 3 weeks. I'm due for one this week so maybe I'll just do weekly ones moving forward. Lovely bump!

skeet - yay for a great night in with hubby! Aren't those lovely? DH and I are overdue for one as my parents were over this weekend. I haven't asked him to help with the shaving yet but I plan to use the same approach ("my friend's DH did it for her") :flower: We start on our nursery next week too! I cannot wait!!!!

I hope everyone shares their nursery photos once they are done! I love baby rooms…they are SO cute and make me smile :happydance:

OK, time to do some yoga…I haven't done it since Christmas so I'm not even sure I can get through the routine with my ginormous belly…I'll post a pic later today - I've been inspired by all the belly pic posts :thumbup: [PS I posted an updated belly progression last week and did one from week 13 until week 30 which is pretty cool to see - check out my journal if you're interested]
 
I'm trying to share my nursery pictures so bare with me as my phone will only put one at a time !!!
