Glad to see your scan went well DH

Congrats on your little girl capedcrusader. I have an anterior placenta too which is reassuring because now I know why I haven't felt much movement. I know the gender isn't always 100% but I'm as sure as can be that mine's a boy. There's no mistaking what I saw on the screen

shelly I've got to have scans at 28, 32 and 36 weeks but it's really good news that there were no obv problems now because it's now much less likely I'll have problems down the line :)

New thread already

Place marking.

That's really good DH, also more scan photos for the album

Yeah I've got so many now! Going to put a few in frames and the rest in a photo album.

My ds' scan is in a frame on the windowsill and it's so faded from the sun you can barely make it out.

DH21 your earlier post about swelling down there! YES, I haven't had this in my other pregnancies and I don't like it much, is v uncomfortable. I did find another thread in childbirth about it so I think it's totally normal.

Love Efffie Loads.

Congrats on all this weeks scans.

Hello everyone,
I've had some cravings, for donuts and ice cream. I ate 5 donuts, one after the other! I've never eaten that many, ever, and now I'm thinking about a ice cream.

As for swelling, the only place seems to be my feet when I'm at work. As for lower down, I havn't seen it for a while.

sophia phew! Glad it's not just me then! It isn't nice to look at tbh so I'm quite glad I can't see it really anymore lol.

The waxing didn't hurt as much as I thought it would but it's a bit sensitive now.

Evil I really laughed at that, my current thing is Subway veggie deli's with spicy everything on, it's costing hubby a fortune :)

I have had a swollen vag for a bit now, but if hubby asks it will be indefinitely as it's a very good excuse not to see the snake! Haven't had sex for about 6 or 7 weeks now the poor thing..........

Marking my place. Didn't realise we were on the new thread already - thought the other one had gone quiet!

Congrats on the scans!!!! Still no name thoughts here!!

We had a girls name sorted and are a bit stumped now we need a boys name.

Marking spot

My feet are swollen today. Sucks. N lots of leg cramps last night. Coupled with first stretch marks n generally feeling crap not been a great week.

Night night x

We've got a list of about 4 girls names but there's one I love and I think dh is coming round to it, he says he likes it now than when I first said it but you'll all have to wait til she arrives to find out!

IM GOING TO SPAIN TODAY YAYYY!!!
We're leaving in about 4 hours So I'll be offline til next sat, there'll prob be a new thread by then! I'll do my best to catch up when I get back.

A big good luck to all those who have scans coming up this week can't wait to find out how many more pinks/ blues we've got!

Wishing everyone a good week and happy, healthy pregnancies :)

DH Have a lovely time you lucky woman!! (I'm not jealous at all... )

Oh dear, swelling and stretch marks and cravings... Isn't pregnancy wonderful?
The only part of me that is swollen is my tongue, but only in the mornings I wonder why.
Stretch marks are abundant on my tum, and that's from last time! I dread to think what i'll look like after this one! Palmers tummy butter is a godsend though :)

Lane I really like the name Martha, Eva is nice too but is quite popular! Hope you settle on one before the big day :)

Anyone elses toddlers waking up horribly early at the moment? It must be the light with my DD, i'm considering getting a blackout blind for her room to see if that makes any difference, does anybody else use one?
I need more kip!

swiss I have a travel blackout blind for DS from the gro company and it works a treat. We don't use it in the winter. The girls have a standard blackout rollerblind from Dunelm which works well too but they have early rising in their genes unfortunately. So here I am with dds watching noddy while the boys in the family snooze in! I was happy with 7:15 though. Better than 6!

5:30 every day for me at the mo :( 7:30 was her usual waking time before and I know i'm she's not getting enough sleep, so I may well invest in a blackout blind, thanks :)

Oh 5:30 hope you get to have a feet up at some point!

I use a blackout blind and it is a godsend for daytime naps, getting to sleep when it's still light outside and for a lie in in the morning. DD usually sleeps in until about 8 unless we wake her up. We got one from Sunbuster here which was about £40 for our window but I love the fact that you can fold it up easily during the day.

Have a great holiday DH!!!!

I'm going to get a travel blind first and see if it works :) 8am sounds like a good time to me!
Thanks Sophia, I do too!

Thanks westwinger only an hour till we leave but we've done everything so we're just sitting around waiting!

Ds seems to wake up around half 6 atm which I can cope with but 8am would be a luxury!

Dh have fab holiday! Swiss generally a sign of dehydration swollen tongues.

I'm shattered :(

I managed to get a full 10 hours sleep last night. Feel more alive this morning than I have done in 6 weeks!

Congratulations to all those who have had their scans. I've got mine on tuesday morning. It's come round quickly. Feeling quite scared at how fast this pregnancy seems to be going. I've also got my DD's 2 yr check on Tuesday and then a pre school induction on Wednesday.

I've not really got a list of names. There is one for a girl I like and I'm sure I'll find lots of others. As for boys names I'm at a complete blank. DD would have been Oliver (Olly) but have gone off it for some reason. There is only one other boys name that I like but DH says no way. I'll start thinking about it more after the scan.
