Hey everyone,

Sorry that I have been out of the loop for so long. Been super busy with a big charity event that is being planned for the end of the month. Just had a quick read through and see all the exciting news about the boys. Congrats Smiley and Mustang.

My scan is not till the end of the month - 22 weeks. I want it now although we aren't going to find out the sex.

Certain - I had a flu jab at about 14 weeks. I have asthma and was told to get it.

I am still waiting for the first kick. My bump is pretty tiny but I am sure I will pop in the next few weeks!

:wave: Girls!

Steph and Smiley-You're efficiency is giving me a complex- I have done NO shopping yet! I have no space so I keep putting it off until we move . We are scheduled to move end of month, so I am hoping i get my ducks in a row soon after! I just want to be done with the move already its making me very crabby

Steph-how lovely of your friend to give you clothes!

QPP- nice to hear from you!hope all is well!
your bump will surely pop around 20-22 weeks- I was super tiny until then too...

How are you, Certain? Closer and closer to scan huh?

Good news is I tested negative for gestational diabetes and BP etc looks good (knock on wood)

kbkb - Congrats on 3rd Tri!! Wooowww!!! I can't believe you are there already, that's it, your on the home stretch now yay to the positive testing results as well

QPP- Nice to see an update, glad all is well. I didn't get my first little kicks until 19 weeks with my first, and I didn't pop until about 21 weeks - but as soon as you do, you'll just go!!

Hope everyone else is getting on ok! x x x

Ok, we're thinking about when to put DS into a big bed, can anyone offer any tips????? Steph, is your DS in a proper bed? / when did you move him out of his cot?

Wont do it for another month or so, just trying to get prepared!! Dont know if it's going to be worth the hassle! x x x

QPP - lovely to hear from u!! Oh dont worry, like smiley says...once u pop u dont stop haha! Ive defo popped this week! Loads of ppl are commenting now!

Kbkb - wooooo huge congrats on being third tri! Thats scary haha!!

Smiley - We turned Brandons cot into a bed when he was about 22 months! He wasnt phased at all! We got him to help us put it together and he made a big deal about it so he was really excited about going into it! Hes never once got out it! Was a really easy transition!

AFM - nothing exciting except I won the carry cot on ebay! I got it for £75 and its £120 in the shop! Wooooo!

Ah that's good to know, thanks Steph. We're planning to do it around christmas, so he'll be 22 months then. Everyone keeps saying "Oh, I don't think that's a good idea, he'll be running out of bed all the time" - Errrr what would you know!!!

Happy sweet potato day Steph!! Ah yeh, I do like moving up to a new one every week, they must have been able to think of some more?? baby does keep getting bigger doesn't it?

I'm not up to a lot today, feeling pretty crappy. Just had my friend over with her DD, it's so lovely seeing DS and her playing together!!

Oh and I felt bub kick from the outside last night!! I'd had my hand on my tummy for hours (habit now!) and felt it! I told OH that he'd need to take up my place with his hand and wait it out if he wanted to feel anything - haha, he so would sit there for hours as well in the hope it happened again

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Morning! Aw smiley thats so exciting!! I still havent felt anythin from the outside! Im so jealous!

Well...i am soooo excited! A girl put the pram we want on gumtree! Shes never used it, she bought it and doesnt fit in her car boot so shes only used the chassis with the car seat clipped on! So absolutely everythin else is brand new! And she is selling it for £200!! So we r going to see it nxt week! I just hope she doesnt sell it before then! We are away for the weekend at a family weekend! But im so excited haha!!

Xxxxxxx

Smiley - thats so exciting feeling it on the outside! I love it, but I swear LO is cheeky and likes to ignore DHs hand and move when he tries to feel it. Loving that your little boy is growing into his big bed! how exciting!

Steph - oooo lucky you with the pram! can she not promise to hold on to it for you?

I am soooo excited! 5 days until the scan....so so so impatient! I feel huge now, here is my 19 week pic!
