December 2011- over halfway there!

[sevendwarves]

Welcome to the new thread ladies!

Hurrah! Even more lovely stalkery! Is Darcy-bean an angel? I can only see one wing, but she looks like an angel.
Am loving the lovely piccies!

Oh I'm so glad I'm not the only one my diet has never been awful or fabulous but tried to curb sweet tooth eat fruit and veg lay off the carbs etc and just about maintained a healthy weight. Iwas overweight as a child and teen and always said I wouldn't go back.......however pregnancy seems to have awoken the fat kid in me I cannot stop stuffing my face. Chocolate crisps bread r my downfall went thru the vinegar phase and ate chips like they were going out off fashion but thankfully that seems too have stopped. I am annoyed as I know its all got to come off again after and I don't need it but obviously don't care enough.....god knows I will come january.

AWCH I love that dress; it was a v. expensive gift from DP years ago...just hope it still fits after pregnancy; it's my "go to" dress for weddings.

The little white kitten is sadly no more, she got hit by a car about a year ago. Honestly, the only pet we chose was the big black cat; the rest were acquired waifs & strays...we just don't seem to be able to say no We have 2 dogs & we'll soon be back to 3 cats but currently due to an unplanned pregnancy we have 7 cats All 4 kittens will find homes though; I refuse to keep anymore [putting foot down smiley] I've just added a pic of my second tabby & her litter.

OiMissus No not to disappointed, just looking forward to the birth now :)

No not an angel (pmsl) it was a cushion behind her

DP was talking about child No3 and the possibility of a dog on the way to scan this morning

Awwwwww!

Reet, am skooting orf home early - can't miss Bodypump (especially as I've just troughed a gingerbread man)! Fare-thee-well and avoid the hoodlums!

DarciesMum, glad it went well today! You and DD are gorgeous (love her freckles).

Honey, your DP has great taste in dresses!! Sorry to hear about the white kitten, she looks lovely.
I think DH is putting off us moving into a house as he knows it will become THE place for stray anythings (limited to 2 rabbits by the size of our flat)

figgygal, I've always had an awful diet (single mother had really bad PND with my sister 5 yrs younger so had to 'fend' for ourselves from an early age), DH has to drum it into my head that beans on toast 6 days a week isn't a great dinner, trying so hard to improve my eating habits atm, having something called 'breakfast' is a novelty!

OiMissus, have 'fun' bodypumping (oo-err!)..sounds like hard work!

Managed to get one piccie of me up, but still getting the 'opps' message...my ugly mug broke mumsnet uploader!!

Lol at your photo AWCH try resizing your photos b4 posting; I kept getting the Oops msg too but that seemed to sort it out.

darcies your daughter is EDIBLE, what a cutie

Loving everyone's pics - you are all lovely! As was already clear from the thread but your photos just highlight it.

Darcies your scan picture is SO GOOD! Mine is just the bean's head and upper torso, nothing visible lower down. And it's quite blurry too.

Honey, you've made a horse feel sheepish! Cheers for the tip

mopsy, both our scan pictures are head/upper torso too, I don't care (about the scan pics, will take MANY photos when it pops!) but MIL is getting all hormonal over the soon to be first grandchild so she wants something to show off at work!

AWCH love the pic of you with your feet in beer boxes!! Hilarious.

Thanks Ladies.

Mopsy We were lucky first time round. Will try and upload these pics later.

Bonjour!

Can I join in, please? Is it too late? A bit about me.....

I have one DD who was 2 in May, and am due on 30th Dec. I had a mc in February which resulted in 3 days in hospital, which was pretty rubbish. One period later and here we are again! All seems to be ok so far, am 19+5, and my scan is Wednesday next week. Definitely feeling little movements too. Am also feeling like a right old codger as I have grey hair appearing by the day, and I turned 39 yesterday....

Yours hopefully....

welcome Woof - I think we have all had our scans now so another one will be nice - are you finding out the sex?

I have had a few grey hairs too, ugh. So far only a few but I am 6 years younger than you!

Wow I can't believe it... I have been away for a day and am completely lost... I have 5 pages of notes to cover... better head back and start reading!!!

FYI anyone been getting back and rib pain? I have recently been getting pains under my ribs as if something is pushing there! Went to the doc who said my ribs were expanding, it was normal and it would when the baby comes... but that is over 4 months away

Aw welcome indeed woof!! Def let us know how the scan goes.

I am going to dye my hair at the weekend i swear i saw a silvery hair the other day in a meeting tried to subtely yank it out but lost it and now paranoid it is roaming around back somewhere.

I got some pics up too again with no baby already struggled to find some that werent just me pissed up or in fancy dress.

Figgy you're a great looking cow! Jealous of your Skunk too (DH said NO to anything more exotic than rabbits, not even a ferret)!

Welcome Woof, sorry to hear about your mc experience, glad to have you here though!!

But figgy what happens when the skunk sprays? I don't understand!

Welcome Woof

Figgy Loving your Skunk :)

Thanks all DH is a frustrated zoologist and wanted something interesting she was a hell of a lot nicer than some of the lizards and things he wanted. She can't spray thankfully her glands were removed by the vet who bred her when she was a few weeks old and really didn't know she could anyway. We couldn't get a dog at time as both worked full time and now DH is self employed and worked from home and now can't have 1 with saff as she very bolshy and would end up in its jaws no doubt.

As for my cow onesy it was my best 30th bday present gutted it won't fit this winter with baby bump cos it's soooooo warm

Figgy you'll have to invest in a pregnancy onesy

Escaped the madness of London for the day today and went to the spa with my Mum and sister. Had the most amazing Mum-to-be massage and a lovely pedicure :)

Oooh sounds divine Kate - have been dying for a pedicure. Really must book one!

KateM77 - very ; that sounds lovely!

I have updated the stats thread with Boy/Girl/Don't Know. The don't know category includes those who chose not to find out/those who could not (due to baby being in awkward position) and those that came on and said 20 week scan went well but didn't comment on sex. I did not include anyone still to have 20 week scan or those who haven't posted after their 20 week scan to update us!

Totals are as follows: 6 Girls, 8 Boys (that includes AWCH as the evidence would seem to suggest a boy!) and 12 Don't Knows!

I couldn't find the following people on the stats thread but have included them in the numbers above:

Cheaptrick - Girl
Mopsytop - Don't Know
AWCH - Boy
Mizza76 - Don't Know
Noobythewaspslayer - Girl
Jigglebum - Don't Know
Sotiredoftheweek - Boy
Kiteflying - Doesn't Know

On unhealthy eating habits - had a big bowl of ice cream with marshmallows on top while doing that. Oops!
