Hello ladies!!

Beauty - hellooooo! Lovely to hear from u! Eek a gender scan!! Il be controversial and say a boy...that way at least one of us was right! Lol everytime we all make a combined decision...were wrong haha!!

Tray - aaaw so glad that all went well at ur other scan! Hehe!

Kbkb - your bump is beautiful! Cant believe uv kept that hidden from us! I didnt take many pics when I was pregnant with Brandon which bothered me now...i cant do any more comparisons until 35 weeks!

Certain - i love your bump too! I dont know if its just me that thinks this, but it looks like youve dropped a bit! Does ur bump feel heavier?

Smiley - yay so glad DS is doin fab in his new bed! Brandon was the exact same...took to it really well! Yaaaay! Lets hope we get two more like these ones haha! Only 46 days til maternity leave! Ah woo hoo!

Aw thats soooo good ur gettin a growth scan! Woo hoo! 35 weeks sounds so far away but its really not! My scan is on 1st march, think il be 34 weeks then!

AFM - yeah got my midwife appt at 3.30 today! Really hope my urine sample comes out fine! I purposely didnt have any chocolate or anythin after dinner last nite incase it affected the result! I'll let uz kno!

Well i stepped on the scales today and im disgusted...23lbs gain thats soooo bad! Im average 2lbs a week gain the past few weeks...if that keeps up my total gain would go 45lbs!!! Im really gonna need to do something about this! I genuinely am mostly all bump tho! People keep commenting on how i dont seem to be too bad anywhere else...altho i say my face shows a noticeable difference!

So many people keep commentin on how i look like i could go anyday now...im like "im on 29 weeks...no i couldnt!!!"

Xxxxxx

Hi Steph!

Yeh I know, 35 weeks seems aaaggeess away... it's really not that far though. Looks like i'll have started maternity leave as well by the time I get this scan

Oh gosh, do not worry about the weight!!! After I weighed myself a couple weeks ago and saw the 14lbs gain I thought I would try to watch what I eat.... by that I mean just try to be a little less excessive. It was going quite well and hadn't really put much more on until I weighed myself yesterday, and somehow, in the space of 2 days - NINE POUNDS had made its way onto my scales!!! I don't even know how that's possible???? Sooo, I am up there with the 23lbs same as you... but not even doing it gradually!!

x x x

 

[steph1505]

Lol there is noooo way uv put 9lbs on in 2 days! Maybe the batteries in ur scale are going crazy lol! Surely its not possible to put on 9lbs in 2 days? Hahaha! Im gonna ask the midwife if she thinks thats too much weight to have gained! But im totally gonna watch what i eat now! No more pigging out for me!!

Aw yeah u will have started mat leave! How exciting! I start mat leave 10days after my scan! Lol!

Were gettin the new cotbed delivered 2moro! Im so excited! Ive been measuring Brandons room cos were gonna need to re-arrange the furniture! I dont think OH is too happy were gettin the cotbed cos he keeps sayin that we dont need one anytime soon...but he shouldnt have said "im not fussed, if you want it, get it!" And then go in a huff about it! Grr!

Xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

I honestly do not know how it's possible, I just don't understand it! There are no batteries in my scales to blame either!! I'm too scared to weigh myself again any time soon...

(I am now sat here tucking into a pack of choc digestives)

Eeeeek that's exciting about the cotbed!! Haha I swear all men are the same!!! That sounds exactly like something my OH would do... Arghh men!!!

x x x

 

[steph1505]

Lol they r all the same! Hes like, "i dnt care, its a piece of furniture, do what u want"... So i did! Lol i get that £150 is a lot of money but at the end of the day...baby needs a cot! He keeps saying we dnt need one until baby is 6 months...but by that point, il be on maternity leave and my wages reduced so we'd be as well getting it now! Lol its so infuriating!!

Lol i would weigh urself 2moro morning cos ul prob see that uv lost some weight and that'll make u feel loads better!!

Mmmm...chocolate digestives sound yuuuummmy!! Xxxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Haha, I will definitely not have lost any weight after i've finished my choc digestive binge!!

 

[steph1505]

Hahahaha but I bet it tastes soooooooo good haha!!

I have a big bag of Thai Sweet Chilli Sensations in the cupboard! I can hear them shouting on me! Doing my best to ignore lol!

Just wanted to share my 29 week bump...! xxxxxxx

 

[steph1505]

Ooooh! Ive moved up a fruit!! xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Oooh I was wondering when the next fruit comes!!! Yay, HAPPY ONION DAY! Is it an onion? I've forgotten what it is and I only looked a second ago... An onion seems small... it's definitely not an onion is it.... - HA, i'll just go with HAPPY MOVING UP A FRUIT DAY!

Love your bump!! You don't look like you've put on any weight anywhere else at all - eeeek love seeing all the bumps getting bigger!

Good luck at your midwife in a bit, hope the glucose has gone! x x x

 

[smiley330]

Aha, it's a squash!! (looked a bit like an onion)

HAPPY SQUASH DAY

 

[steph1505]

LoL no not an onion! It says Squash but the picture looks like a pumpkin...is a squash another name for a pumpkin!! That'll be you next week!

Hahahaha Ive just noticed u can see the YARD of jaffa cakes we have in the picture!! Hahahaha! Fatty!!

Aw thanks, Im just getting ready to head out! Gonna walk down with Brandon...try burn a few calories! LoL!

xxxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Yeh I believe the pumpkin is part of the squash family!

Oh cool, let us know how it goes when you get back! Enjoy the walk x

 

[steph1505]

Hello! Im back from the midwives and all is good

Thank goodness! She had a wee feel and said that it feels as though he is lying back to back at the moment! He blooming better move! She also said not to be concerned by weight gain! She said thats quite normal! My midwives never weigh me though and she said thats cos there isnt an 'average' and everyone is different! So I dont feel too bad now!

xxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Ah yay, that's great news!

I also like what she is saying about the weight gain My midwife weighed me, but she didn't mention anything about it - so I just guessed it was ok.... (Not that I like it any more) - so it's good to hear that!

Ooh back to back? There's plenty of time for him to get a wriggle on the right way though! x

 

[steph1505]

Yeah hes got loads of time, im not too concerned just yet! Hopefully he'll have moved before I go see my consultant again cos she said that if this baby went back to back then she would seriously need to have a think about my VBAC! So il be bouncing on my ball and crawling about the house from now on haha!!

Haha yeah I liked her opinion on weight gain too OH is working late tonight so I know Im gonna prop myself on the couch, put on OBEM and EAT LIKE A PIG!!!! Haha!!

And on that note....WOO HOO!! OBEM tonight!! xxxxxx

 

[Beauty2]

Hi Ladies!

Steph - I hope you're right. I'd like to have a boy this time around. But either way...as long as the baby is healthy I don't care. Very nice bump! Have fun pigging out tonight!

Smiley - I'll try to post some pics if I get some good ones. I'm hoping for a boy but I just want a healthy baby. I worry too much!

 

[Beauty2]

By the way, I'm the onion of the group!!! Haha!!!

 

[steph1505]

Haha yaaaay! Smiley must have known there was an onion somewhere haha!!!

Aw a wee brother for ur DD would be lovely! But like you say, as long as the baby is healthy thats all the matters!

Not too long til u find out! Eek! Xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

My OH has gone out to football tonight, so I also have the next few hours devoted to OBEM, food and sorting out DS's old baby clothes It's going to be a happy few hours!!

Beauty - Ooh well my track record on this thread has not been good on the guessing so I will keep FX for a little boy for you. Though I know healthy is the main thing, it will be so nice to get that reassurance that all is going well in there

x x x

By the way, I'm the onion of the group!!! Haha!!!
