Morning ladies, well, my V day is finally here!!! I truely cannot believe it!!!!
Baby's kicks have been quite strong of late, I actually got kicked awake on Saturday and Sunday morning, but he has been a lot quieter today.
As I type, my dad is in my house decorating the nursery for us (we are both at work and he kindly offered to do it for us) and I cannot wait to go home and see it!!!!!
Anything going on with the rest of you ladies???
P.S Congrats to everyone else in getting to and passing their V Day!!!

Hi everyone,
Congrats on your V day Joey!
I am feeling really poorly
theres been a cold/flu bug going around at work which I've managed to get so feeling really sorry for myself at home on the sofa. I also felt like I might have a UTI so dropped a sample at the drs yesterday and she said there were traces of protein and something else so shes sent them to the lab and will see me later today so we'll see, might need anitbiotics to clear that. Cant wait to feel better and breathe clearly!
I havent had or noticed any colostrum. Have been having stronger kicks though and whereas before they were all really low now I get kicks or punches all over, lower down, up above my belly button, I love it.
Hope the nursery looks great Joey, we are going to start ours at Easter.
I dont think we have a glucose/sugar test in the UK?
Hope everyone else is feeling ok.

ahh Becky.. that sucks, hope you're feeling better soon!!!
Here the test everyone for potential getational diabetes. You have to drink a sugar drink at the lab and then sit there for 1 hr and then they take your blood to see how your body is handling the sugar. If you fail this test, then they make you do a 3 hr test... I felt sooo bad after all of that sugar, nauseous and had a headache. She told me no more sugar the rest of the day!!! well other than natural sugars....
Lucky you guys if you don't have to do it!!

Congrats to everyone on passing the v day
sounds like we are all getting kicked all over now. happy times .
Re the colostrum, i have had this for a few weeks. only really when i lean on my boobs though. its not much bit pretty minging when it crusts up. lol.
I spent yesterday painting the nursery and all done. just waiting for furniture now in the next month.
Had my 25 wk appt with the midwife. all is perfect. measuring dead on 25 wks. also got to hear the heartbeat again next appt in 3 wks for my anti d :-\
Re the sugar test. my friend had this but this was because shw is overweight. also think they do it if you have family history with it.
Well i will check in again in a couple of days

Joey it looks great!!! love the colour!!!
I should take pics of mine hahaha my OH just finished the chair, it's a glider/rocking chair of sorts and I had it with my older son, the wood on it was painted white, but this time all of the furniture is a dark wood colour, so he actually refinished the chair painted it etc, and it was a surprise for me he just finished saturday.. it looks amazing!!!
Happy travels back to Ontario Kate!!!! we'll be close now!! at least in the same time zone!!!
Hope everyone is doing well, it's hard to believe that we will very soon be in the third trimester!!!

Morning Ladies!!
Kate, that sounds exciting that you are flying home soon. I hope you settle in ok.
Joey, your nursery looks great. I can't wait to get my furniture but its going to be May now...booo!! Never mind.
Kim your chair sounds lovely. This is one thing I won't have. I don't want to spend the money on it when it won't be used much. I'm sure we'll manage. Would be lovely to have one though. They should rent them out!! lol.
Well I am on high alert for stretch marks. hehe. I already have them from puberty. None in sight yet though. Fingers crossed. But they do say that they can appear at anytime!!!
Ooooh!!! I have a bump pic. Took it last night..it is on my phone so I will try and upload it off there. DH still thinks i'm quite small.
Weight gain as of this morning is 15lbs, which has been 1lb a week for the last 11 weeks. 4lbs in the 1st tri.
I have been getting some odd pains. Think it is baby kicking my cervix. Its like shooting pains. They only last a couple of seconds but are really random.
Also, I have had 2 people say to me that I have 'the glow'. I really don't see it! lol. Could be cause I know the efford involved in covering the spots and bad skin on my face. hehe.
Hope you ladies are all doing well. 14 weeks to go!!! eeek!

Hi girls!
How is everyone? Sorry to have been away for a while.... I got a bit sick and depressed about stuff for a couple of weeks there... went to london for an interview which went horribly and came back with tonsillitis! Thank goodness though, the last check-up showed baby is doing great, my blood pressure is healthier than ever and no signs of any problems whatsoever.... such a relief
Nic, i know JUST what you mean... baby has been kicking straight down into the cervix for a few days too... talk about a weird feeling.
Lovely to hear of everyone's progress and see nursery pics etc. I am a wee bit jealous... have this whole nursery idea in my head but i just don't think we'll get the time/money to do it.... but baby will be safe and loved here which is all that matters... maybe we'll find a way nearer the due date to do some of these things. On the plus side, we found a great second hand pram from a friend which is hardly used- it's a lovely silvercross 3d travel system and less than a third of the new store price.
Ooooh, also, how's the nesting instinct taking effect on everyone? I've become a list-making fanatic which is the total opposite of my normal personality! I can't sleep at night unless I've ticked off several chores. I've also had the urge to ruthlessly clear the house and have been ebaying like a mad woman.... you'd think we were moving house if you saw all the boxes of stuff i have lined up to get rid of.
Apart from that, I'm just working against a fierce deadline right now as a book i'm illustrating for kids is going to be published this year and it has to be done before baby! Will be so glad when July comes and I can sit in the garden with our new little one, sipping a cool drink and enjoying the sun
Lots of love to you all.... would LOVE to hear some detailed updates about how everyone is doing.

Aw ladies, I've been a bit sick for a few days now and I is getting to me. It started with a sore throat, then a cold, now a chest infection. I have antibiotics, but with no other remedies I can take, it is hard to shake it! I took two days off work and am back today, I'm still not 100% but I'm getting there.
I have a midwife appointment tomorrow so hopefully I'll get to hear the heartbeat again!!
