Hi all! Sorry it's been weeks since I've posted. Had a nasty cold that's taken weeks to clear, also been sorting things out at work and finally started ML.
Also, due to coughing so much when I had the cold I pulled a rib muscle which was getting better till I let out a big sneeze the other day and pulled it even more :(
Lots for me to catch up on, so here goes:
luckyseven yes we are pretty close due dates wise, I've not had much rib kicking as such at the moment as LO has mainly been the wrong way around, and although has turned in the last week is curled and seems to be kicking my stomach instead. I understand exactly what you mean about the dramatics, I was bending over everytime I got kicked in the bladder at work and getting funny looks too. looked like a bloke getting kicked in the groin! Glad your scan went well! lol at you jumping into someone elses car! :o
How did the parenting classes go? I didn't think DH would take it seriously either but I think the classes actually gave him the wake up call he needed!
bunnygirl naughty you for moving furniture around on your own! Your nesting instincts must've been pretty strong to do that. I doubt I'll be nesting anytime soon, am too much of a slattern to be actively scrubbing anything 
Sounds like not long now for you! :) I've told my DH that if he wants a small drink that's ok (1-2 units) but he's not a drink and driver anyway so he abstaining at the moment which is not a bad thing as he's prone to going overboard iyswim and he's seeing this as a good opportunity to stop, but we'll see! I did also point out he couldn't be drunk and look after LO.
lol at your DH eating the snacks, I though mine was the only one who did things like that! I can't find the choc fudge that I bought for the mw in the hosp and I'm sure suspecting he's eaten them 
Hope your operation get baby bunny out works soon, do keep us updated, can't believe the physio, I heard that if you have SPD there are certain positions to be avoided too and something about not opening your legs too wide during birth?
oneof8 Thanks for sharing your family's BF experience, it's reassuring. I don't think boobie size has anything to do with milk production apparently. Am now a GG cup and looking to go into a H next week and I'm sure I'll be struggling too. In fact, it's the few weeks after the birth that I'm dreading the most!
Mrswajs superpenguin & kurly congrats glad scans went well, esp penguin, glad LO's foot is ok and you didn't end up with a pink disaster!
Mrswajs do you have to countersign the assesment? I did with work and if I were you I'd refuse to countersign it on the basis that you don't agree with the assessment? (hope it's not too late) if you meet with her maybe tell her that the moving departments would cause you quite a lot of stress especially when you're pregnant? Then she has to take it into account? At least you've got the union behind you.
WRT buying things, I would wait for bargains, especially as you're due after christmas. I held myself back mainly due to paranoia that something would happen and just bought stuff that were bargains and got so most things reduced. My best new buy was a manual madela breast pump for £5! You'll also get money saving tips as you go along hopefully and know where to get things cheaper.
Sorry to hear about DP's job :(
Cherry hope you feel less tired soon, your body is just telling you to rest, rest, rest and I was just the same trying to do everything as normal. Congrats on the scan :)
Maybe you should get some compression stockings as your veins can get worse? Ask your mw, you can get some on the NHS and since don't have to pay for prescriptions they will be free. Not the most attractive of things but should do the job (sorry am assuming you're in UK)Don't worry about what you're eating at the moment, you can eat better when you're not feeling as sick, which I hope won't be for much longer.
addie CONGRATULATIONS!!! :o
spirael can't believe Mindy has outgrown her moses basket already! 
Motherhood seems to be suiting you :)
bellaby hope you enjoy telling everyone your news :) Pregnancy yoga is great, it's really helped keep my sciatica symptoms to a minimum.
crazy and anyone suffering from MS, I took my vits just before bedtime so they didn't make me feel sick as was feeling sick for about 6 hours after taking them in the morning. Just something worth trying.
Hermya Congratulations!!! What a lovely name :) Maybe this is the start of a life filled with punctuality for him?? :o Love the piccie, he's so sweet!! THanks for sharing your birth experience too, glad you're happy with it.
worrisome Congratulations!! Finally after such a long up and down wait :) Sorry to hear you had such a trauma. I'm sure baby Lachlan was well worth it though :o
halo sorry you're still feeling rubbish, I never got the 2nd trimester high, just felt better than during the 1st, which to me was a bonus, congrats tho on reaching the 2nd trimester :)
Yorkshire hope your Blood pressure settles soon. I've started one cup of RL tea this week (35 weeks atm) and plan to build it up too. Was under the impression that it doesn't
bring on labour but can quicken stage 2 labour? Am getting some braxton hicks from it but nothing major. Hope baby yorkshire makes an appearance soon as you sound pretty fed up
highheels congratulations on the BFP! The feeling terrified and not believing is normal at this stage, have you done pregnancy multiple tests yet 
am 
at all you organised ladies, I've not packed my hosp bag and just chucked stuff into a bag, also not gotten round to writing a birth plan yet My excuse was waiting to start ML so now I've started, really got no excuse and need to really get round to it. We've also built our cotbed and am just waiting for FIL to put up some curtains and shelves for us in the nursery and it's done! Got myself a massive lovely chair to bf in, although DH has threatened to move it downstairs to the lounge in front of his tv and xbox....I was NOT impressed as you can imagine!!
