welcome to the new may mummies
Hmmmmmmmmmm yup I am having vivid weird and sexy dreams at the moment! Last night I dreamt I took two friend's dogs out for a walk and took and wheely bin with me to collect the poop!
had a crafty ciggie then bumped into a hot guy and .........
well you can guess
seriously weird!
Talking about food, I made sausage casserole and mashed potato for tea last night and it was scrummy
followed by two little hot cinnamon rolls YUM! Can't stop eating at the moment .... baby is sucking all my willpower.
mummy3 - hope your little boy is ok, it's the worst when its something to do with your kids, thinking of you
About making friends, I used to find it very difficult as I'm quite shy but having moved around due to the Army every 1 - 2 years I've got better. The main bit of advice is to put yourself out there and most people are shy too and would like to make new friends. Mummy and baby groups are really good, baby massage, parenting classes, swimming classes, parks (we have a splash park for through the summer near our house which is great for meeting other mums), playgrounds. You have to just say "hi" though and not wait for them, if they ignore you or brush you off its their loss but most of the time they'll chat and having kids gives you something in common to chat about.
Wild - Hope you start to feel better soon hun
hopefulmama - I was scared stiff about all the things you're worried about too and there's no denying it - the first few weeks are hard but it does come naturally and get easier and my hubby was not always around (and I don't have family near like you) and you do cope I promise. And if you want to lose the weight you will, just don't expect to lose it straight away but it will go and your body will go back to normal, I looked better than pre-pregnancy (just gotta do it all again now
)
Ive been trying to book me a 4D scan for 20 weeks, but I think I need to be 24 weeks +... I hope not! Has anyone had or known anyone to have a 4D scan at 20 weeks???
I had a 3d scan in Germany with my daughter at 19 weeks and 33 weeks (hubby was on tour with the Army so didn't get to come to the normal scans so had 19 week one done whilst he was on r&r and then 33 weeks when he got back). They just warned us that at 19 weeks the baby can look quite bony as there's not as much flesh but you can see a lot more of the baby and then 33 weeks bubba is quite big so could only see the face. Got one booked for 18/19 weeks this time too
This is 19 weeks
and this is 33 weeks just so you can see
I had my booking appointment at the hospital which went well and they have booked me for a dating scan on Friday!!
so I get to see bubs again. I have my next hospital appointment on the 17th November - it's finally starting to feel real
Whew!! I can babble!! xxx
xx
just had 3 days off work because of it. Going back tomorow and cant wait
Have you got a scan soon? xx
Hope you feeling better soon xxxxxxxx and I hope the scan appointment arrives soon, cant you rng the ultrasound dept and ask them if they made one yet??? Make sure you havent been missed off the list xxxxx
