Bloody hell - MIA for a couple of days and we're onto a new thread already, never mind all the exciting fuzzy news! Looks like I've got some catching up to do, so this will be an epic post
trope you definitely don't look anything like a blimp! A lovely blooming, pregnant lady I think! I know what you mean about doing the double take though. I could only ever see how big I was when I looked sideways in a mirror. I didn't have any weight anywhere except the bump and my boobs hid a lot of that from my angle Now of course my boobs have got even bigger and I've got a horrid jelly belly But it's going slowly and I'm not going to start to get serious about my weight loss until Lauren is 3 months. At least that's the plan in the meantime, pass me the chocolate Mainly because I know my body will lay down fat stores for the whole BF thing, so I want to give it time to settle down.
Congrats on your new nephew! Gosh - just seen that you have pre-eclampsia and are being induced! Thanks for waiting for me You're doing fabulously! Shakes pom poms vigorously
Kayzr - wow at 10lb 5! And I thought Lauren was big My growth scan the week before she came estimated her at 10lbs, yet a week later she was only 9lb 2.5oz so, yes I think they can be out by a good lb Happy Wedding day! I hope you have a fabulous day
ellie that's so lovely of your DH to tile the bathroom as a surprise! I'd have cried too even without the hormones Glad your scan went well, although sorry you didn't get to keep it a surprise.
Bun thanks for the lovely comments about the baby blues. I did laugh at your comment about me being sensible though The good news is, they seem to have passed now, probably because I'm getting lots of rest (if not sleep), and Lauren seems to be settling down well now. Fab news about your 2 little superstars too Your trope updates are great!
babybrain - how exciting about your scan! I'm glad it went well for you. I have to confess, I had a spreadsheet too
fools - I lost my plug over 2 days and there did seem to be quite a lot. I'm glad you're feeling a but better, although don't ever feel like a twat for posting, Friday night or otherwise! Love that comment your DS made about the fat lady! Great news about the names and thanks for sharing (as an aside, my iPhone nearly changed sharing to Sharon )
And apologies I've still not been on the laptop yet (downside of having a smart phone!) but I promise to put extra photos up when I do! So really quick update from me: I'm healing well, Lauren is beautiful but being a fussy bugger right now and she surpassed her birth weight as at day 5! So no more guilt about the shields Will try to come back soon but hats off to those of you that have read that huge post without falling asleep!
Go trope and fuzzy! (My vote is today & 8lb 5oz)
