Happy 3rd birthday BabyBelle and a for you lbm

Hope everyone is having a good weekend

Happy birthday little lady!! I vividly remember 3 years ago (and how jealous I was!!) Hope she had a lovely party. Did u make a cake lbm?

happy birthday!

happy 3rd birthday babybelle have a lovely party and eat lots of cake. lbm here's some for later

moon - I only had a short mat leave with all of mine due to finances. it was fine - made going back to work easier ad it wasn't a choice. also worked up to 37/38 weeks with all of them - again was fine.
anyway birthday madness here - spoilt three year here. currently chasing on her trunk I and being read to by her big sis. birthday party at 11. can't believe my baby is three

Thanks girls I really have just had a crap week, feeling a bit more positive now the weekend is here. Have been sat painting my toenails ready for tomorrow - now how do you manage this when the bump gets bigger as I'm struggling atm!

Will look into the benefits, I'm sure there must be some sort of help for us, although like you've all said, things always turn out for the best, you just cant always see how you're gonna get there and you get a bit of a bumpy ride along the way. I do plan to work as long as I possibly can, I have a desk job so I'm hoping it will be feasible to do so. My boss has already said I can work from home in the later stages if it helps. I'm not taking any holiday days and am saving those up to take before I start my official maternity leave. It will all be ok, thank you for the reassurances. And the most important thing is our little miracle boy, and I don't care how we get there, but we will, and he will be the best thing to happen to me and my dh.

Happy weekends to you all

Yes moon I was going to say call tax office/dwp I'm sure you will be entitled to something. Hopefully money will start to come in from dh's business soon too. Really feel for you, you've waited so long for this & now you're in pain & worrying :( I found out I was pregnant with ds1 the day after dh was made redundant.. all the worrying was awful, but as neeko said, it sorted itself out.. and even though this doesn't help now, I promise that little bundle will eclipse all this :)

Lovely bump pics 4ever

moon pop along to CAB to see if they can give you any info on benefits for your situation, also look at the gov.uk website, there's lots of infoation on there too. Enjoy your wedding

Hi neeks

Moon have a hug. It's really hard when our reality isn't quite as shiny as our dreams > sometimes the baby/child drives you completely bonkers with their naughtiness too!
Try tonic water for the cramps and don't beat yourself up over the lack of "bloom". Fwiw I didn't bloom either time - I looked more like a burst couch!

As for the mat leave, try not to worry about it too much. Work as far on as you can to maximise your time after and see hoew it goes. You don't need to let work know straight away when you'll return and you can change the date. These things have a habit of sorting themselves out.

Hello to everyone else.

Your bump is lovely 4ever I am very jealous, mine still looks like I ate all the pies My boobs, hips and bum all seem to be joining in with the growth, so I just feel like a big fat wobbly whale all over.

My headache is slowly getting better, but I seem to be developing new aches and pains daily, my joints in my hands and wrists are now clicky along with my back, and I'm getting cramp in my feet in all the time But like 4ever said, I wouldn't change it for the world, it just doesn't all feel like I thought it would and actually I hate being pregnant although I wouldn't tell anyone but you girls that. I feel rubbish all the time, I thought by now I was supposed to be blooming!

Dh still has no job, although I think I said he has started up his own business, but nothing is coming in yet. I don't know what we'll do, I wanted to take 9 months off work, but it doesn't look like I'll be able to. I'm wondering if we'd be eligible for any benefits, or if because dh is 'working' and I'd be on maternity leave we wouldn't qualify. Worried about it all.

Anyway not sure where all that came from, think I'm just having a crap week. Looking forward to the wedding so we can relax and enjoy ourselves.

Big waves to everyone

Gorgeous bump 4ever!! You look amazing :)
moon hope you feel lots better for the weekend!

Here's the updated list. I never in a million years thought I'd be in big pants!

Not stopping I feel like crap, had a massive migraine yesterday so still getting over the hangover headache. Been feeling faint today and generally bleurgh.

Wedding is this weekend, so bump pics may follow!

Haha don't worry u can call me what u like! I still nearly call rumours by her old name sometimes & will always know her as that in my head! :) ah sorry I didn't know summer's birthday but well done on getting the list back! Eek, so exciting seeing moon on the big pants list! (I nearly said 'in big pants' but that would sound wrong, haha!) And all the edds coming up so soon!!

4ever Do you mind adding my EDD as I'm lurking from my phone whilst waiting to be seen at the hospital for my 34 week check up? It's 23rd June. Thanks!

Hooray hi everyone! :)
4ever let ne dig around in my memory..I THINK babybelle is 18th? Then my ds2 22nd, mls ds is 24th then your dd 25th? Or is she 26th? then my ds1 5th June.. I think that's all right..

Jab was fine, boys were very interested in what was going on.. I have another dose next month at the same time as ds2 has his triple jabs bless him! 4ever totally get you putting off the whooping cough one I did the same.. then never ended up getting it when pregnant with ds2.. good luck!! What cake are you planning for dd?? I'm just doing a plain one with a sweetie train for ds2 but god help me, a Toy Story one for ds1 as he asked for a Rex cake I know I will regret this!!
Fab about the diabetes stuff well done you!
Ds1 has also been accepted at a lovely pre-school but we're hopefully moving house in the next few weeks (cant remember if I told you all that?!) Just waiting on a yes for mortgage and then we'll have to start trying to move him :( hassle.

neeko SEVEN WEEKS til holiday!! So exciting!! I know someone who's there now & wrote on facebook about dancing with the Beast in the Be our Guest hotel or something, haha! She's in her 20s btw! So I don't think it ever gets less exciting!

rumours hello! Fab news on your dh that must be a weight off you both! Hope you start to feel less stressed very soon!
