***May Blossoms Due Dates Join Here**47 Babies Born!***

[lisaf]

hopeful - with your love of shoes and your collection are you at all worried about your feet not going back to the normal size after pregnancy?
I knew your feet often swell etc, but my friend who had her baby over a month ago says her feet are still big, not swollen and that sometimes your feet stay the bigger size.
I have big enough feet as it is, so I'm a little worried about this myself!

You guys are making me want Thanksgiving food... I'm visiting my dad for the big Turkey day... and he makes so many good foods I'm not sure I want the regular old boring stuff, lol! I don't see my dad often at all and I'm craving some of his special dishes... but you girls are changing my mind, lol!!! I'll just have to make a full turkey dinner for me and DH when we get back.

hopeful- cute dress! I saw a dress that I absolutely loved but it's so cold here that I don't know when I would be able to wear it. Bring on Spring weather, I'll be wearing plenty of empire waist dresses because I'll want to be comfortable.

lisa- I did go up a shoe size for about a year and 1/2 after giving birth. I'm now a 1/2 size bigger than pre-pregnancy with my son.

I've heard orthotics and wearing supportive shoes can help prevent this. I'll wear whatever ugly things they suggest as long as they're comfy and keep my feet from growing!!! Anyone know anything about this?

 

[hopefulmama]

well that wouldnt bother me too much because most of my shoes i buy 1/2 a size bigger uz my right foot is a smidge bigger than left so its quite a 37 1/2 but a wee bit too big for 37 so i have to put inserts in all my shoes, also you can get your shoes stretched... if worst came to worst i'd just buy new ones, i mean knew shoes come out all the time and i buy shoes a lot so not the biggest of a deals. I don;t see me wearing heels when i a 7 months pregnant and on, but till then sure. I have plenty of ballet flats and sandals as well, that i wear int he day time that give a bit more than designer heels

 

[lisaf]

lol, as long as you are ok with it.. I know the chance/excuse to buy new shoes is a temptation. I just also know I'd be sad if I couldn't fit into some of my favorite shoes again... and I'm not even a shoe person

I've heard arch support is crucial, most of my flats don't have good support.. hmmm.

 

[hopefulmama]

When i buy shoes, i figure since i spend so much on a pair i might as well get the most out of them by taking care of them really well and before wearing them sending them to my shoe guy to put these amazing gel inserts in, new bottoms that help balance the way you walk and all sorts of weird stuff. It honestly helps a lot, then every 4-6 months i send them in to get redone depending on how much i wear them.Those suckers are mini investments haha, i remember an old episode of sex in the city and she wants to buy her apartment and she is like where did all my money go and realizes it was shoes and she says " why cant they put my shoes towards my net worth, they are a better investment" so true.

It's so nice to be laying in bed in, with the big fluffy duvet, watching tv and playing on computer.. plus to have my feet elevated.. pure heaven

 

[lisaf]

lol, I hate sitting up in bed... always feel like my head isn't held up right.. i lounge in a big comfy recliner with my laptop, the tv and a warm puppy in my lap

lisa- ive lived in flats during all my pregnancies, never had a problem at all, and ive never been told not to wear flats . the only one i ever wore heels at all was with my first, my feet were swollen really badly in the last 8 weeks, they went back down though within a few weeks, but my feet have not grown at all during any of my pregnancies so i have escaped that, for me ballets, trainers, uggs or timbalan boots all the way. except one pair of knee high leathers i wear but the heal isnt more than an inch on them lol.

 

[Wiggler]

I live in my trainers and my new boots, they are sooo comfy. My feet never grew when I was pregnant with Dylan, but my boobs did. They ended up 2 cup sizes bigger! I'm hoping they get another boost this time too, easier than a boob job!

 

[wild2011]

morning wiggler, oh god dont go there, i was a b cup when i got pregnant with chloe, needlest to say, a few weeks ago i was a f, and already up to g and its getting on the tight side, i'll be an h by 3rd tri, and my boobs have never reduced in size after any pregnancy lmfao.

sienna is coughing so badly at the mo that she keeps being sick, im struggling no end cleaning it up... did anybody see tv burp last nite, omg wen harry ate the "bit" off the heather look alikes top i spewed everyhwere.we had guests and they were rolling about laughing that it could have made me sick. lol

 

[Wiggler]

I would like to go up at least one more cup size, that way when I lose weight after the baby is born they wont shrink down too much

Aww poor Sienna! I hope she feels lots better soon, how are Chloe and Leila? are they feeling better?

I haven't watched TV burp in ages, OH has stolen the TV at the moment to play on the PS3 every spare second he gets. He is going to have a shock when I plonk myself down on the sofa and watch Casualty on iPlayer

 

[wild2011]

lmao they all still coughing and i got the dreaded lurgy now too.

it was grose hun, he got a spoon and grabbed wat he thort was food off the jumper and ate it, it was a big greeny tho, omg my dinner flew up lol

 

[Wiggler]

Ewwww!

Hope your girls feel better soon.

I just looked at the price of a gender scan at the local scan place and we can't afford it.. I have tried to budget it in, but what with still needing a xmas tree, pressies etc etc we can't Its going to be a loooong wait until the 20th December.

 

[wild2011]

thanks hun,

we can have a long wait together, mines prob 2nd week of jan or first week if im lucky. longggggggggggg grr lol

 

[wild2011]

nearest place here is 150 quid plus its a fair journey and id rather use that on my pram,

 

[Wiggler]

It will be worth the wait when we see our little bubs though. I hope we get a potty shot, I am so impatient and wanna buy pink or blue things! I hope you get a date through soon.

Ooh yay! Tap water doesn't taste salty today!

Not sure what I'm going to do today, the weather is miserable so might just tidy up and organise all the paperwork we have rammed in the drawers and tidy the cupboards. Not exactly fun, but I would rather get it done before xmas so that we have some free space to store Dylans pressies.

 

[24/7]

Thankfully our gender scan wasn't anywhere near £150, and its in 3D which OH is very excited about.

Feeling very poorly today, but going to try and venture out to get our christmas wrapping paper, as back to work tomorrow as my self cert ends again, and feel I should have a taste of air before then.... xxx

 

[Wiggler]

24/7 I hope the fresh air helps you feel better ((hugs))

I just had a look through the piccies of Dylan at the soft play area yesterday and it looks like he had soo much fun, and my friends said he loved his first time swimming!

Sorry, but look how cute this piccy is!

 

[24/7]

What a cutie. xx
