We made the trimesters pass quickly!

Welcome back Kiwi!

Glad you're having a nice time Ab

I think with the amount of walking I've done today I could sleep for a week! We had to get Jayden some new shoes today so a trip to JD we went. Had to get him a size 7 but they are still a little big.

I was 41 weeks I think in that photo. I'm about the same size now as I was with my son at 20 weeks

I'm so jealous of your bump Mummy, no stretch marks?! My belly was awful when I had DS x

 

[Mummy to be x]

Aw my daughter is just fitting into a size 7

I got some stretch marks at 39 weeks! They wasn't really noticeable to be honest, the inside of my legs where the worst, really thick purple ones, look awful there still there to this day!

Katies an 8!
My stomach is awful it's all wrinkly the stretch marks are that bad and my skin is all loose at the bottom too xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Mine was the same when I first had my son, It's still like it now but only when I sit down. I'm hoping to not get as much because it's already stretched to heaven and back x

It only costs $70 to get a private scan done here. Do you ladies think I should wait 2 more weeks to get the 18 week scan at my doctors, or go in for a private one? I really REALLY want to find out the sex of the baby. Oh and there is this baby expo thing going on at the fair grounds here where I live on the 21st, my appointment is on the 29th. I was so sad that I would not know the gender for that baby expo since they will have a lot of baby stuff. That is why I am thinking about getting it. What do you ladies think?

 

[Mummy to be x]

Kiwi I got one the other day and it was SO worth it, I say go for it

 

[Ziggie]

I need to take some belly pics!! Whenever I remember I've eaten something so all bloated lol

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I'd go for it Kiwi! If I wasn't so patient I would of booked one by now

I take mine every week Ziggie in the morning

 

[Mummy to be x]

How's everyone today?

Looking forward to seeing bump pic zig

 

[Carlyp1990]

I'm ok today hun, just trying to decide whether to walk the dog or not... how are you? Xx

 

[Mummy to be x]

I'm good thank you, still packing up the house it's such a pain!

I'm under strict orders not to lift anything heavy, so I'm just packing all the bits and bobs, ornaments and things like that, OH is back tomorrow so he will be able to help.

We are getting a dog when we move house, I persuaded OH to get one

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I'm good thank you, Mummy

I've been over to my Nans again this morning, she gave me the cakes she made because she doesn't like chocolate

I had a puppy when Jayden was a lot younger it was a nightmare poor thing had to be rehomed, it was better for her though x

 

[Mummy to be x]

She doesn't like chocolate?!?!? That's shocking

We have a cat and Madeleine adores him so I'm hoping that she will be good to the pup, and I hope the cat gets along with the pup too lol. X

 

[Carlyp1990]

Yea it is really hard getting a puppy when you have a young child! We got bruno when katie was just turned one and it was so hard, he chewed everything and was hyper whenever people came over. There must have been 100 times when I've told oh I can't cope with him and we would have to get rid but we stuck it out and im so glad we did! He's the most loyal dog ever and him and katie are best friends. He's finally starting to calm down now too... 2 and half years later!
I'd say be 100% sure you can handle the responsibility of a dog before you get it mummy, there's nothing worse than seeing an upset child because their dog has been re homed xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I think my son was about 7-8 months old when I had her so he didn't have a clue.

OH has just been on the phone to tax credits and he think we're going to owe them money

My boobs are sooo sore in my bras too with my size the bras are so hard to find! x

 

[Mummy to be x]

I've had a dog before so I'm certain Hun

Oh no UB, why?? tax credits are a pain in the backside x

 

[UniqueBeauty]

Because when we had to sign onto job seekers we didn't realize they were still paying working tax credits, we rang to stop them but OH thinks we're going to have to pay it all back

 

[Mummy to be x]

If you do have to pay it back, they will have to set up an affordable payment plan for you if you can't afford to pay the full wack back xx

 

[UniqueBeauty]

I hope so that would make it a lot easier.

Jayden is SO moany this morning, just whinging over everything I want to pull my hair out sometimes

OBEM tonight too, yay

I was looking at names online for a boy and I like Leo, Riley and Wyatt for a boy. I literally cannot find any more that I like

 

[Mummy to be x]

Leo is so cute, I've done a thread on boys names UB as I'm really struggling too.

Madeleine is at nursery it's her last day today before we move so I'm feeling quite emotional

I've still loads of this house to pack and we leave tomorrow, stress!
