**November Sparklers **

I like double digits. It's like the end is in sight now!!

I have sent off my application for the Health in Pregnancy grant today so that's lush. I've already spent every penny of it in my mind on mattresses and bedding. It's a huge help.

I'm feeling all proud of myself today after clinic this morning. My consultant said my blood sugars are excellent and they couldn't wish for them to be any better so I'm really chuffed!

I've already spent all mine on my next set of highlights and a new handbag so now frantically selling off all my old trashy romance novels on ebay in the hope I will have some money to buy things for baby without letting DH know how much I paid for handbag - hmmm now do Radley do changing bags???? *goesofftohaveahunt*

I've been told off because I seem to be quite happy to spend lots of money on posh looking prams and changing bags etc which I have to carry around but baby is pretty much going to live in multipack white vests and babygros for first few months as I'm not wasting money on fancy clothes it will only wear about twice

 

[Blondie]

Double digits girls!! lou and raerae are already there....

Blondie you are funny

Nah - if you really want a laugh check out my latest bump pic which I'll be posting on the bump thread this evening - though I actually think I've finally popped this week

 

[chrissie33]

Blondie, honey, I am a huge fan of multipack babygrows and vests... lol.... Asda is your friend Baby has no idea that it isnt wearing the latest fashions from baby gap after all

 

[RaeRae]

Absolutely. They wear so many and they're washed to death. I found Asda and Tesco did really really lovely ones when Zo was a baby. Great quality and still a good price.

 

[chrissie33]

Yes and if you are on team yellow like me, they still have an amazing range!

I have a 4d scan on monday and im worried thar LO is going to flash at us ( we are on team yellow)..

Im going to have to ask for strict facial pics only lol!

 

[Lozziepop]

Hi girls!

Can't believe how quickly time is going past now! I seem to be getting bigger every day now! lol
I have got my third scan on saturday morning getting quite nervous about it though!
I'm having it because they found an Echogenic foci on the heart, they explained to me it's nothing to worry about considering my Downs test came back low risk etc but I can't help but worry they have missed something

Just worried now they are gonna find something else wrong on scan on saturday!

 

[lou1979]

Im sure everything will be fine Lozzie, goodluck for sat xx

Woah! I didnt realise its been soooo long since I posted in here.

Havn't been on BnB much for over a month due to house move, but can happily say we have finally moved and are settling in.

Double digits are so very exciting - I didnt even realise until just now... and Ive been coveting my ticker so I could announce it to OH

We're doing fine, a little scare yesterday and a lot of discomfort today but Im feeling a bit better this evening and bubba is 'expressing herself' quite a lot so not to worry for now.
Just feel a bit beaten but hoping its a growth spurt & will settle down soon.

Glad to see everyone is well & bumps too.

 

[chrissie33]

Good luck for sat babe, Im sure everything will be fab - lucky you getting to see your little one again

 

[Rebaby]

Good luck for saturday lozziepop, will be thinking of you

I am so excited for the girls in double-digits, i can't wait to be able to say that myself

LO was being hilarious last night, moving right up to the surface above my belly button and making my belly a weird shape and wriggling loads while i was making tea, he/she had been quiet for a couple of days while i was in work so it was great!

We have a scan on friday at 24+1 at our new hospital- can't wait to see LO again and see what he/she is up to, i just hope we don't get a peek at anything we shouldn't (i.e. lady or boy bits!)

 

[chrissie33]

Rebaby, your avatar is fab!! You are positively blooming dear Good luck with the scan

 

[Rebaby]

Aww thankyou

That is my 23 week picture, i was measuring 110cms. OH thought i'd had another 'spurt' when i got back from work yesterday, so we got the tape measure out last night...and bump is now 112cms around!

 

[chrissie33]

Ooh fabulous!! I measured mine in inches and it was 41inch last week

 

[chrissie33]

Hey rebaby, just realised you are 1 day to VIABILITY!!!!

 

[Rebaby]

Teehee i know i'm so so excited about that!

P.S. We're pretty similar belly-size then! I *think* 112cms is about 43/44 inches

 

[chrissie33]

I think you are right Im going to measure mine again this evening as it was before bed I measured last week and it is always bigger later in the day.....lol

 

[Blondie]

oooh I might have to measure mine as I have never done that

*wandersofftoseeifthereisatapemasureinthestationarycupboard*

 

[Blondie]

OMG 91cm / 36 inches - where the hell have the extra 10 inches around my waist come from - that's bigger than my DH
