December 2012 - Halfway to our Christmas elves and fairies!

[WeeJo08]

Hi everyone!

I think I did this correctly! Eeeek! Probably not I think we still have a few messages to go on the old one, so it's here for when we're ready :)

WeeJo

Fantastic news Strawberry and Honeytea.

Yey strawberry and honeytea great news

Crumbs how many of us with 20 week scans are there tomorrow?! Mine isn't until half 2 I will be a sweaty mess by then.

Just had some cold Tango and triggered a penalty shoot out in my tummy

I'm at 4pm tomorrow cookies

DH was very kind to me this evening and let me take him to pizza express for dinner!! It was very scrummy but all this baby wants to eat is tomatoes and I don't like tomatoes it's very strange indeed, everything I want has tomatoes in (which would normally put me off) and I eat it knowing I don't like it, but it does satisfy the craving

Anyone else with cravings?

stacey you are lucky it's tomatoes! my baby wants to eat toblerone.. well i say it's the baby that wants toblerone ;)

I'm excited to here all the scan news tomorrow!

Great news strawberry and honeytea

I'm getting kicks but nowhere near strong enough that dp could feel yet

20 weeks today and scan on Friday - yay!

Loving the sun hope you all are...at least we're not at our largest in this heat...imagine!

Good luck with all the scans tomorrow!

weejo I'm in Belfast, loving living here. Where are you from.

I'm certainly thankful we're not at our biggest, been there and done that as ds4 was born 30/8 I remember the 6 week hols were really hard work that year

Gils Just a bit north of Belfast - a place called Glengormley.

honeytea there are lots of things that I say 'the baby wants' when really I just want it mars bar ice cream anyone? but this is odd as I know it's not just me wanting it as I don't like tomatoes!!!! Lol

Good morning!

Would it be wrong to want ice cream for breakfast? Mmm... I have a very wriggly Shrimpy this morning, he's popping all over the place, not sure what he's so excited about.

Good luck for all the scans today, must be a mass scanning!

After the body butter on nipples advice that was given out a few days ago, my nipples are much happier, however my boobs have grown again! Started pregnancy as an A cup, and now looks like I'll be C cup shopping next week!

My bump is now bigger than my (38D) boobs

at your boobs pidj

I have nothing to wear! Going for a picnic with a friend today. Good thing about living in the middle of nowhere is I can leave all my windows wide open, try keep the house cool the sun shines in all day though!

eggs not at all. There have been many a morning during this pregnancy where I have raided DDs Mini Milks for break fast
Yep COD I'm with you, I was heavily pregnant this time three years ago and it was so hot I genuinely thought I wasn't going to make it to my due date alive

pidj that is a big bump ! I've gone back to looking fat again I swear. Although I weighed myself yesterday (in preparation incase they were to weigh me today) and according to my scales I've actually LOST weight since my 12 week! (this is V unlike me!)

Cod this will be dc2 for me plus I have 2 sc, so will be times when we have 4 kids, what car do you drive as we are struggling to find anything that will also take a buggy.

Oh and my boobs are now 36F, i think they've grown more than my bump has...

Spotty I'm struggling to dress for work at the moment, my boss noticed my bump yesterday which means I am going to be cast from the ward to the waste lands that are The Offices!!! Iv got my last baggy tshirt on today, then it's back to bump revealing tops tomo.

Good luck for all the scans today!

My boobs, bizarrely, haven't changed size only shape - i was measured properly a couple of weeks ago (don't tell dp, he loves it!) I'm 21+5 due 30/11 so that helps in the bump stakes. I'm gradually coming out of the "it's a pie not a baby" stage :o

DSIL was pg through Aug (dn born 28/8) and has passed on a lovely short maternity skirt from JoJo Maman that might get worn today - although as she's tiny (under 5') it might be a bit indecent

I have my, scan today too, 13:30. I am very much focusing on the boy/girl reveal and a chance to see baby. Not thinking of, or worrying at all about any other aspects of the scan.

13:20 four my scan.....it's going to be a very long morning. I'm working from home but not quite sure how productive I'll be

Good luck with all the scans everybody!

Oooo good luck with all the scans today thinking of you all :) xx

Definitely hit the record button in your brain and replay the images loads after, even if you're really anxious cos its lovely.

Glad all was well at the scan strawberry, are you going back again?

See consultant this afternoon with list of questions as long as my arm, not going to do the 'stiff upper lip don't want to be labelled the fussy expectant mum thing' that I think my midwife tries to instil early on, cos tbh it just causes more worry later. Now I'm off work, after 4 days of focussed calming down strategies (mostly involving beaches) I'm am completely chilled - which makes me want to go back to work! Will spend next week sorting classroom I think, then doing paper work week after by which time we may actually get our house back AND FINALLY A KITCHEN! Then at least everything is sorted at work either if I return or ready for whoever takes over if I don't, or work from home.

I am absolutely bloody huge proper pregnant and belly button flattening out now.... How flipping big in another 3 1/2 months?!?!

My scan letter tells me to drink 4 glasses of water! An hour before the appointment, and not to pee for that whole time. I think I'm going to take that as 4 small glasses, and just take a bottle of water along with me. Last time I had to wait in the waiting room for 40 minutes, and was ready to burst.

I'm also working from home today, but don't think the morning is going to be very productive. It's actually sunny here today, so I might see if I can move some of my work out into the garden... :)

They want to put dd's legs in casts v
