Hahahaha!! I thought it was, but I didn't think it actually said Jaffa cakes anywhere on it... Amazing! I love Jaffa cakes - Haha! x x x

 

[smiley330]

P.S - I'm really jealous of how your bottom half has stayed so small!! My legs and bum are huge!

 

[steph1505]

Haha!! Its one of the big christmas tubes so it says loads of things about christmas on it haha!! Cant believe he actually has some left!!

LoL i wouldnt be jealous...i look ridiculous! Everyone always comments on how I look like two separate people joined together! My top half is huuuuge, massive face and boobs and arms and no neck...and then these wee chicken legs lol! So dont be jealous! Im actually surprised my legs can hold me up haha!!

Just popping out to the shops now so when Im back I'll let u know if that package is from u! But Im thinking it must be! xxxxxxx

 

[CertainTurton]

Steph I love your bump, so cute and there is def done growth there I really must take another pic of mine.

I'm also not venturing out of the house today, just hung up my baby clothes- they are sooo cute wish she was here now (well sort of)

 

[smiley330]

Im actually surprised my legs can hold me up haha!!

Hahahaha! This has made me laugh a lot!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Hello :wave: LoL that was such a short wee trip out but I was desperate to get back to my jammies and dressing gown!! LoL!

Smiley, that package was from u!! Thank you soooooooo much and it did arrive in one piece!! Please let me know how much postage was & we'l get that to u!

Certain...is there anything cuter than a clothing rail full of baby clothes?! It wont be long until she is here, wearing all those cute wee clothes! Eek! Ul be full term in like a week and a half!! Thats scary (in a good way!)

xxxxxxxxx

 

[smiley330]

Yay! Glad it arrived safely... I was mildly concerned that I wasn't putting any stuffing around it, but we didn't have any at work! Oh don't worry about postage either, I did it through the works post

Ok - time for another bump pic, and the comparison to DS1's. (today on the left)

I think since last week my bump has got fuller at the top!!! Which is defo how it's feeling, I was moaning yesterday that I cant really sit without feeling as if the baby is in my chest and i'm all bunched up!! haha!!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Aw are u sure? Thank u so so so much! I really appreciate it

Yeah u do look fuller at the top! U definitely dont look as big as last time! I dont know how u had a big 9lber in there!! Altho, I suppose he wasnt 9lbs at 32 weeks

I think ur bump is gorgeous tho! It looks like a wee beachball! xxxxx

 

[smiley330]

No worries!!

Yeh I think I look slightly bigger than last time, though that could just be the angle.. not sure! My pics only go up to 38 weeks from last time, and I do look massive by then!! Haha, if he'd have been 9lbs at 32 weeks I would have been in serious trouble!

Do u have a comparison pic next week? I'm sure you said 34 weeks was your next one?!

x x x x

 

[steph1505]

Well hopefully u wont have a 39 week bump to take a pic of this time Fingers crossed anyway!!

Yeah i surely do have a comparison next week! Altho, me and OH were looking at it the other nite and he says Im already bigger! LoL! But il wait til next week and show uz and see wot uz say! xxxx

Loving your bump pictures- I wish I was as skinny as you lot at the start of pregnancy. Just read the last four pages so will try to remember who said what.... On iPhone so is a nightmare scrolling back!
Thanks for all the advice on food. Has sort of sunk in but am terrified it's still not happening as had had to give a urine sample to doctors today for them to send to lab for test to then have me on the system for midwife to contact me. They said to call them on fri for results. Have the two hpt but keep thinking what if they are wrong.... Might gave to buy another couple!!! Is this normal and To be analysing every twinge? Please say yes so I don't feel pathetic!!!
Had a couple of moments of nausea but if anything have felt a bit more tired and a bit sensitive to smells. Looking back this was the one month I didn't symptom spot as my mum and partner had come up for a visit to surprise me as they live 8 hours away so was kept busy all week. However had indigestion which I never get, a couple of headaches and when we bought acar at auction I refused to drive it until it been fully cameras because I couldn't deal with the smell and dirt!!!!! Normally I would have been itching to be the first one to drive!!! Steph I think I can def see growth in your bump and yours looks rounder smiley! Looking forward to seeing yours certain! When did you tell families and friends. Have told my boss who sorry if I am rubbing in girls is completely lovely and understanding ( she knew about us bring referred and said we could get alk the time off I needed as a baby is important!) mainly because of saftey issues. Working in a school I need to be aware if any kids catch something that could hurt me and the baby and also because we have some kids that due to medical conditions can react and hit out. Will have to tell ms best mate as we are at hen party this week but worried about telling others incase anything goes wrong. Was just wondering when you told your families etc?

 

[steph1505]

LoL ooh just rub it in that u have a nice boss why dont u??? No, that is sooo good that she is understanding! Especially, as u say, because u work with children! What age are the children that u work with?

LoL its totally normal to analyse every gas bubble, every wee twinge! So dont worry about that! Also, dont worry if u feel 'periody' I felt that A LOT during my first trimester! But I think its more just growing pains! I cant wait til u have a wee bump and can start posting pictures

We told our parents and siblings when we were about 6 weeks and I told my best friend! I also told my manager because I was feeling really sick and she was starting to get concerned! But everyone else, we waited until we had our 12 week scan! But just enjoy your little secret for a while! Obviously you'll want to scream it from the roof tops because of your journey to get to ur BFP !

Oooooh its Wednesday...which means its One Born Every Minute tonight! Yaaaaay and OH is backshift which means Im free to cry all I want haha!! xxxx

 

[steph1505]

Ooh! While im on the laptop I thought Id upload a pic of 'Mickey Mouse' the teddy bear that Brandon made (and named) for his baby brother! xxxxxx

 

[Hopingitwill]

Am glad you said the word periody as that is exactly how i feel. Keep feeling as if it is going to start which i panic about everytime i go to the toilet...... I am a primary school teacher and have Year 6 so kids are 10-11. Is a stressful year though as children sit their SAT tests in May so a lot of work and stress as they are only 9 teaching weeks away. Di i mention marking..... which is not helped by the fact i am so tired tonight and just want to sleep but i have to do as parents evening next week and books must be up to date and got hen party so cant do this weekend! We are debating when to tell our parents and my DH says as I will have told my best mate he should be able to tell his before 12 weeks but i am airing on the side of waiting til i am at least 6-8 or have met with the midwife. How soon do you normally meet them? Have only watched OBEM once - DH got freaked out by it and got frustrated with a man on the programme as he was an a T***** in his words! Might keep trying though. He is also worried it will freak me out as me needles and blood dont go well together!!!!! As to photos of bump - i could moist prob post and look pregnant already heheh!!!!!! Unfortunately i am the dreaded apple so carry the majority of my weight around waist.... looking forward to soon having a reason to be big around the stomach!

 

[Hopingitwill]

Mickey is soooo cuteeeee

 

[CertainTurton]

Steph that is the cutest bear and I love the name such a good idea! Eeek yey to OBEM tonight- love it!

Hoping- like steph says don't worry too much about niggles, we all worried about then and here we are I'm so pleased you have a good boss I'm sure it will make the world of difference not having the stress etc. make the most of it and rest up when you need to! We told my parents and sister as soon as I found out (3 weeks!!) then a few friends and my grandma at 8 weeks (after a successful scan) and then everyone else at 12 weeks. I found it sooo hard- I don't do secrets, my mouth seems to let them slip you do it when you feel ready

Smiley- gorgeous bump, so neat! I think bigger this time but not by much. Fx not another 9lber!

I jst had a nap- finding it hard to wake up now, feel very dozy!

 

[CertainTurton]

Hoping I comPletly understand re checking every 2 mins. I can remember the panic I had when I realized I had put on black pants- not so quick to check

 

[Hopingitwill]

[Hopingitwill]

[CertainTurton]
