Getting Ready For Baby Challenge - Part 6

Yes!! Good idea mrsC i did two teetotal months before my wedding (bar two hen do days) and no one questioned it!

buzz you could say that you are dieting and not going to drink until the hen, that u set yourself a challenge or something??? And then well obviously not actually drink on the hen but all will be revealed then anyway?

Yeah! Not even! Scan on the 9th, hen on the 13th!! I feel like I can't do anything social between now and then and them not know something is off!

Eeeek! So excited for this hair!!

Sorry .. the scan is 1 week before your hen do? That's tough!!

Buzz I would wait and announce it at the hen do! We will distract you for a week!

Currently sitting in foils 🤞🏼😬🙈

Ugh I'm so torn between telling my best friends. What should I do? I figured I could wait till my scan but now it's over 6 weeks away and only 1 week before my hen do, I don't know if I can keep it a secret! I'm seeing one of them tonight, do you think I should tell her? mrs so exciting I'm only a week behind you!

buzz ugh I know mine is the second! Hopefully with Easter etc the time will fly, I've kind of accepted it now, time to wish my life away for the next 5 weeks!

Hi Girls, excuse the radio silence been super busy in work and then so exhausted I can't keep my eyes open to type! Have been keeping up though!
wilde Major congratulations!! Enjoy telling DH!
hb enjoy the mothers day lunch, I'm a useless chef so super impressed that you are catering for 12!
grumpy enjoy getting your hair did, I'm getting mine done tomorrow, roots are in a bad way!!
seven happy FW to you lovely!! Xx
parsnips enjoy the races!!
buzz happy 6 weeks, I'm 7 tomorrow, we are very close!
jupiter glad you are not suffering with any symptoms, long may it continue! But the throat is a pain in the neck (literally) hope it's better soon!
orange enjoy your special delivery!!!
penguin u poor thing that job sounds Crap! Hope u get to relax and enjoy the weekend now!
jb welcome back!!
Some friends are calling over for pizza soon, hoping I can manage a slice to avoid suspicion, normally I'm the biggest pig of everyone!! DH is bringing me and DS to this burger place we go every year for mothers day, I'm hoping I'll feel like eating! I'm also hoping 7 weeks sees the end of nausea and that it was just a thing that happened for one very Crap week and now it's over my symptoms will vanish and my skin will stop getting spots and I'll get this infamous glow! A girl can dream!

Just got a letter from the hospital!! Scan on the 9th may!! That feels like so bloody long away!!

Jupiter Eat tomatos... Apparently they sooth a sore throat. Not tried it myself but I hear they work wonders 🤔

Love the hair transformation grumpy!

Good luck for the big reveal tonight Wilde

Jupiter that's encouraging, I'll be testing towards the end of next week but haven't decided which day yet. Fingers crossed!

Ah you're spot on! Dark brown bob over here 🙌🏽 (Had long, BIG hair for years but got it all hacked off post wedding!)

12 is no biggie... it's not even everyone cos my midwife sis is working and a couple of the OHs are with their own Mums!

Eeek wilde , it will be worth the wait!! Your DH will be so excited, especially as it's his first x

Also, thank bloody flip it's Friday!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

grumpy that's going to look amazing! You can send us a sneaky photo of you from behind after :)

jupiter those are literally my exact symptoms! Like word for word how bizarre! I'm 6 weeks today 😱 so excited for tomorrow morning!

wilde how are you going to tell him?! I can't wait to hear! Yay!!

Happy humping seven!

Hope confused is okay ❤️

hb I hope it will be celebrate, but you'll be secretely grinning about it :) and yes to the olive skin and sophisticated look 💁🏽 totally have you down for that!

parsnips have you tried your dress on again?? I'm sure you're going to rock it tomorrow!! Enjoy!

That's going to look gorgeous grumpy, hope you're having fun in the chair as we speak!

I do indeed have long browny-red hair Hb, but not as thick and lucious as grumpys. I imagines yours as short and black and you have a beautiful olive skin thing going on. Very sophisticated :) Am very impressed by your Mother's Day plans - never cooked for that many in my life!

Eeeek Wilde, am willing your DH to get home immediately for the big reveal...

Will do...just spoke and said I hope he's back early from the evening event, but he may not be. I couldn't really insist iykwim, so no idea how to get the message across!

Keep is informed on your DH reveal Wilde !

Ooh cross post.... that's going to look stunning grumpy ! Have you had a consultation or are you just rocking up with your pic?

jupiter I'm doing Mother's Day lunch for 12 of the family on Sunday, so DH and i will have a brief commiserate/celebrate and then contain ourselves for the afternoon!! Also, i had you down for reddy brown hair, not grumpy!!!

Slightly crampy with tender boobs but was same last cycle so ignoring it

Jupiter well you are not far off - I have thick brunette hair in a long bob.. this is kind of the potential before and after (hope I get the after!) on way there now

Very few really to be honest... breasts are sore on the sides when push them and nipples really do hurt if they're touched. I'm tired (but I usually am at the end of the week) with occasional hot flush. Oh loads of bloating and a bit constipated. No nausea yet...things may be different this time next week. Will be 5 weeks pregnant tomorrow :)

Love how you've all picked up on my wild side, not my natural side

HeyJupiter what symptoms are you having? I'm not feeling any, really. Only if I look really hard, but if I didn't know I'd probably not notice, iykwim.

Wilde (everyone else calls you Wilde so will stick to that too!) I'm due November 23rd...bring on the little christmas babies x
