Ok....massive post alert...
bunt i think i would join a private fb group too.
Have no idea what anyone has said as even though i have caught up the past 3 pages, i clearly wasnt paying attention after my 3 hour nap. It seems this is what happens when u wake up at 6am, back to sleep at 7am off for breakfast with mil and bil at 9:30am and back home at 12.
At least dh got to tell his bro the news in person (bil is in the navy, submarine training so have only seen him twice since he left in feb)
I def have a bump but i think its just fat. I am convinced i look pg in my work uniform but my boss says she cant tell (moved up to size 12 trousers as can see the expandy bits on my mat ones so will have to wear them after the reveal). I have only put a few lbs on (half a stone in total since my wedding but stopped the diet and had put on a few lbs before i got pg)
I am 5"8 ish and am now just over 10 stone. Was 13 and a half 3 years ago but did some mammoth weight loss which was way over due (had become rather depressed so finally found that determination to do it, but man it was hard work)
I dont knit at all, my mum does a bit but dont think she'll knit anything for bubs as she didnt for my nephew. My kid will just have cuddly toys (i was a massive fan as a child) but i am going to try not to buy any myself after seeing how much stuff people got my nephew. He was so spoilt that my sis shouldnt have bothered wasting her own money (am very lucky the fam will all want to buy things for bean)
I feel like such an unhealthy loon! I didnt really exercise before getting pg (after the weight loss i stopped and just maintained it by watching my food intake) and i havent exercised while pg either. I really want to do aquanatal stuff but it clashes with work which sucks. I do take the dog out but dh has to hold her as its too much for me atm (shes only a westie!)
Talking of pulling muscles, i sneezed in the week and def think i pulled something right across my belly. Really hurt! Am hoping its why i am getting crampy twinges a bit (feels a bit stitchy) as dont want to think its something bad. I am a highly pessimistic person though so this pg is really going to test me. Will be nice when i can tell people as a colleague was in my situation exactly a year ago and had a boy at the end of Jan so will be great to talk to her as she will prob remember all the unusual things she felt and it should help reassure me (maybe)
Ok not sure i can remember much else....
Oooo i know. My nct classes start in oct and are from 7:30pm - 9:45pm. They run till mid Nov as they are for dec and jan babies so no classes over xmas on anything here. Then there are 3 morning sessions in march just or mums to catch up once baby has arrived.
Sorry people are still feeling rough. This week has def been the worst for me nausea wise, but not sure if its my own fault because I havent eaten the right things at the right times. Need to get that food scheduling right i think.
Hopefully it wont be long until everyone is feeling much better. At least there will be no need to attempt to hide the sickness once people know.
Have a fab weekend people and some happy scans whoever is having one soon.
Oh and happy holidays pod and blue and anyone else who is going away.
(It seems. Have written a novel.....oops)
