MumtoToby - I think when they tell you its a boy they are pretty sure. This is because the 'tackle' is bloody obvious in most cases, whereas with girls they are looking for the absence of something which means they can sometimes get it wrong (e.g. willy tucked between the legs and not spotted on scan 
). Oh, and like everything related to pregnancy and birth, there's always someone lining up to tell horror stories!
Evening girls!
I have been seriously nesting today. Spent the whole day clearing a rather large and very crammed cupboard. Am absolutly shattered now.
HC- July 2003, where was I? Oh yeah dd2 was born august that year. So I was suffering too. It is nice to have the sun but v.hot and tired.
KZ-glad you got your "builders bum" sorted out!
Had to have a little chuckle at that, coz am always trying to pull my trousers up at the back whilst keeping them low at the front. It's nigh on impossible.
Opened the door to a girl I know but havent seen in a while. To be confronte with "God your huge!" Thank you very much. She is only 18 and quite nice so I might let her off that remark.
Time seems to be slowing down now, I still have 7 weeks to go and am getting fed up of feeling so huge and tired. And getting stuck if I sit down in one position for too long.
Agalch- How do you cope looking after other people's kids as well as your own! I couldnt do it. Just keeping my 2 girls entertained is knackering enough for me at the moment. I usually have to go to bed when they go. Am such a light weight these days.
Hope everyone else is ok. Sorry if I missed anyone.

Evening girls
Does anyone else think this thread is getting really long? It's so hard to read back all the posts and i end up leaving people out
.
I would start a new one but don't want to be forward lol
I am now 10 sheets of loo roll,what is everyone else measuring?
Had a good weekend,nice weather up here and away in a friends caravan and went to Loudoun castle and all 3 kids(even the 14.5 hormonal ds) enjoyed it and no moans or groans.Was nice cos ther was some scary rides for the bigger ones and small ones for dd(nearly 2) as well.
Deblaca why may you not be able to have your homebirth? I am now in the same position as baby is still breech so not long to turn now
.
Will be doing ecv if i'm offered that and pray i can avoid a c/s if poss.
Was checking diary and realised i have 6 weeks left to work.Wish mums would organise alternative childcare for sooner but no chance.So not only will i be ready to pop,and have my dd to cope with but also other peoples kids.I will be bloody knackered!!!!
Ok moan over,off to feed my lovely kids.
Take care all
xx
Aggie I'm fit to burst also - feel and look huge - went to a 2nd b-day yesterday and felt like a magnet for ALL the mums there, they were just dying to give me advise/anecdotes about labour/childbirth/bringing up kids etc etc and went on to do just that!! Altho fit to burst don't want the little one out yet as the building site's still not ready so we're telling him to stay put for now.
Had m/w appt this am - all is well but we discussed the fact that may not be able to have my homebirth
Please please purlease can we not have BB invading this thread ..... bad enough its everywhere else ...... i truly wish it would crash and burn ....... arghhhhhh
have a nice evening ladies and bumps xx
Lisa needs some help with her vocabulary. I am a true believer (and this sounds very pompous) that if you have to say Fuck every second word then you are incapable of expressing yourself using any others = you are as thick as pigshit. Sorry non-big brother fans.
Hi again
Had to reprimand my MIL several times for rocking DD to sleep as I was a firm believer in putting her down awake for a sleep and it wasn't long before she was able to fall asleep on her own. Shall be doing the same again including reprimanding my MIL .
Have just picked DD up from nursery and they told me they have a suspected case of German Measles at nursery and that DD has a rash and has been laying around all morning with a temp of 100. Have made an appointment at the Drs for 5pm so will see what the outcome is. If it is that I don't know how it affects PG women-better look it up on the net.
Blossom-can't stand Lisa another moment in BB-hope she is up for eviction on Friday!
DD having a nap before the Drs so off to watch the rest of One Hour Photo I recorded the other night with Robin Williams-rather good.

Morning gals, just catching up with all your posts now that i am a ladeeee of leisure! Absolute bloody bliss not working, sorry to rub it in to those still gainfully employed.
hi MummytoToby, I am having a boy again this time and intend to call him Toby too! Great choice!
KBaby, my Dh does EXACTLY that with toast/anything he makes to eat, and I go in afterwards and clear it up, cos I CAN'T leave it as much as he teases me. I am making a serious rod for my own back and am getting worse but i guess that's just how I'm made - I even get twitchy if he is driving and we get home and he doesn't park the car in the driveway in a straight line - he saw me wincing and biting my tongue and said "please tell me you are not about to comment on the lack of symmetry in my parking position?" We had to laugh. I couldn't live with me, fact.
HC, SEE YA SEZER!!! I voted him out twice, arrogant little shite, get lost.
Managed to catch some rays this weekend, but burn very easily as am a closet ginger (or not so closet, according to DH, as he has lately been trimming my "lady garden" sorry if TMI :)) and have had a busy weekend with DS. We went to my cousin's on Saturday night to babysit their 5 month old, which my god brought it all back with a vengeance! little Arthur, who is absolutely GORGEOUSLY cute, does not sleep unless you are pacing around the room with him in your arms. And woe betide you if you try and put him back in his cot or DARE to sit down. So glad DH came too, so we could take it in shifts. He eventually fell asleep on my lap till they got home at midnight, but that was haaaaaaaaaaaaard work. I am SURE DS was sleeping in his cot alone by 5 months, I don't remember him being downstairs with us after about 8-10 weeks old! The trick is to put them down sleepy but awake i found, so that they learn to take themselves off to sleep, it has certainly worked with DS. Fingers crossed this one is as good.
Right, as DS is having his sleep, I shall go and watch Sex in the City, bought the first three series especially for maternity leave hurrah! He is at nursery every afternoon till end of August too, so I am going to have a lovely time! And will be making the most of it too.
Lots of love girls.

Hi Everyone,
Hope you all had a nice weekend, welcome MummytoToby
So 
of all of you that have finished work. I still have four weeks left. Four day weeks now though, so not so bad I suppose. Not that I really do any work when I'm here though.
Had a lovely walk along the Shad Thames yesterday in the sun. Lots of people laughing at DS as he toddled along, going the opposite way and just generally shouting about. One cheeky tourist actually took a photo of him? Didn't like that, should have taken the camera off her. Must have tired him out though, as he only woke the once last night!
HC, I'm with you on the NO visitors! Specially in-laws. I had a dream (more of a nightmare) last night, that DH decided to stay at home with DS while I was in labour, and sent MIL to be with me instead. AAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!! I screamed at her to get to F* out!! Only a dream only a dream only a dream...
Maewest, bless you for putting up with your in-laws at this stage.
Kbaby, like you I feel this pregnancy is flying by. With DS it seemed to take about four years. This time it's just whizzed past. Mind you it's the waiting at the end that drags isn't it, so say nothing yet!
Well suppose I better do some work, since I bothered to come in. Have a good day everyone, and look after yourselves and your bumps... Take it easy!!!
Annie 34+4 (Oh my god!)
Morning ladies
Sunburn calming down a bit today. Feels strange not to be at work-but rather nice
Have had words with DD about pushing me away all the time and saying I want daddy and not you. She said she was sorry so we will see how long it lasts.
maewest-hope you got your medal for having outlaws staying. They should be catering for you!
kayzed-I had DD in the hottest July ever in 2003-MW's were feeding me iced water. Feet were so swollen I had to keep getting in a cold bath to relieve the pressure. So far I have only seen my ankles swell once and I am alot heavier this time. Praying for a coolish time.
I need to pack DD's little suitcase as have now only 3 weeks and 5 days to go and DD did try and come 2 days early but arrived at 3-53am making it only 1 day.
The baby was kicking and squirming really bad last night in bed-took me ages to get to sleep. I mean, what was all that about?????
Mentioned to DH again about him collecting DD after the birth so that nobody needs to bring her home and 'visit' and he said what will be will be. Noooooooo, what will be will be no visitors!!!!!
Got my friend from Stafford coming this afternoon so must make an effort and tidy up a tad.
Hope you all have a good day and don't work too hard!
Love and hugs

Morning everyone, back in work after a week off. Can't get into the work mode at all, just thinking 4 weeks to go until I finish!!!!! .
Permanently tired a the moment, sat yesterday with feet in DS paddling pool in the shade as soooooo hot. One essay done one to go then hopefully relax. Going to pack my hospital bag tonight and one for DS just in case as sudenly realised I'm 34 weeks on friday.
You would think just having been off for a week I would have got round to it but don't know where the time went. Seeing midwife tomorrow so will check baby's position as think he has moved again.
Hope everyone is ok, re nipples mine are itchy and big!!! Same as last time so they should calm down again.

Welcome MummytoToby :)
Had a bit of a mixed weekend. Highlights were that it was finally summer so deckchairs got rescued from the loft and spent most of Saturday out in the garden. Had inlaws to stay, MIL, Nana, BIL and his gf (although last 2 took the opportunity to book themselves into a hotel as they both currently live at home ). Managed to keep everyone fed and content, I think. Although there was a point when I realised I had been sitting outside by myself for about half an hour (in beayootiful sunshine) and everyone else had disappeared - went inside to check, and where were they? All crammed into the spare room (curtains closed natch) while DH showed off his new computer - weirdos! They are not bad people, just not my family and I can never seem to relax around them. They tend to moan a lot about things as well, which I find a bit wearing.
After they'd gone had a bit of a wobble on Sunday, floods of tears etc. Had good chat with DH about worries and he's going to come with me on Thurs for gtt and to mw appt next week.
Welcome MummyToToby-have added you to our list hun. Congratulations
