Pleasantly busy here, isn't it?

Bugs I have had so few symptoms this pregnancy. They really don't mean much at all. Not long to wait, we will all be holding your virtual hand tomorrow.

Is there a stationary cupboard you can hide in to have a scream? Or some very therapeutic shredding you can do? Please don't beat yourself up Bugs, you've done amazingly well to get this far.

Probably a bit early in the day for gin. Maybe a hot chocolate and a sausage roll, or are you feeling too sick to eat? I remember how you're feeling like it was yesterday, its awful.

Dor you are doing so well. 5 months is really nothing. I think a lot of the healing starts after a year, when you have done all the annual events once without that person there.

sinks don't tell me that...

bugs I agree with advice to step away from the sticks. They can't tell you what you need to know and will only fuel the menkul. Symptoms do come and go. I had stronger symptoms with the one I lost than this one.

How about a walk around the block listening to some chirpy music and taking some deep breaths?

I am sitting at work this morning in clothes that fit me for the first time in weeks. A friend recommended the batwing dress from ASOS maternity for the inbetween stage, and it is brilliant. Just right now and with plenty of growing room for the coming weeks. I am going to order it in more colours!

Hooray for clothes that fit euro. I am at court this morning and was just asked why I wasn't in my (10 year old) uniform tunic. Seriously? My belly is in no way missable now. Link to the asos dress? I spent £95 on New Look's website, hoping some of that is half decent looking.

Tis this one winks www.asos.com/ASOS-Maternity/ASOS-Maternity-Dress-With-Batwing-Sleeves/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3300727&SearchQuery=maternity%20batwing%20dress&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=36&sort=-1&clr=Black

It's a complete bargain too! The fabric is actually quite nice for something so cheap.

I have that dress! My Isabella Oliver treggings have arrived today and I'm hoping they're as nice as I've been told so I can look presentable for the final couple of weeks

9 more hours then you can go to bed and tomorrow will be better

Oh bugs. I hope it helps rather than fuelling the menkul. Either way, you have less than 24 hours to get though. And then after that, I reckon, ooo, about 4 days of feeling at ease before the menkulling starts again.

I'm glad work is going to give you some ongoing support.

Oh bugs. If you really must then you must, but its the middle of the day not fmu, and if they were in any way accurate hospitals would use a wee test for hcg levels instead of blood. I hope it helps but if it doesn't show what you want, it means absolutely nothing.

How annoying bugs. I can't go on the BESH fred from work as once again it has a sweary fred title but I will take a look when I get home.

:) Really pleased for you. And ever so slightly jealous of the McFlurry.

Woo hoo bugs. I'm glad it helped.

My clothes delivery came, I liked 3 out of the 7 things I ordered. Not bad going really.

Excellent Bugs. But I'm now jealous about the mcflurry. Don't think I've had one in a decade! (I need to get my kitchen sorted and a freezer in. Then my ice cream and potato waffle cravings will be sorted. Not together obv. That would be weird)

Have completed my last uni submission (am ignoring the fact it might come back needing correction and second submission). Admin tomorrow after midwife and it's mat leave ago go !

Sorry Euro! Still reeling after weighing myself. I don't know if I'm delusional, but I really don't think I've put on a huge amount of weight else where (except bump and boobs. Had to buy a nursing bra in 34ff. Sigh), yet I've increased my body weight by almost 50% . I'm now just hoping it all slows down and I have a very heavy placenta...

So glad you got a good result Bugs Roll on tomorrow!

Winks, that's the problem with buying online but at least you like almost half of it!

I have baked a chocolate cola cake this afternoon so am waiting for it to cool down before I scoff it

BTW, for those needing a chocolate fix, Tesco are doing their annual Easter Egg self off: buy 2 get 2 free (£1.50 each). I bought 4, so now have 8 eggs stuffed into various drawers around the house

Missed your delivery winks. 3 out of 7 is a great effort, esp if there's jeans/trousers in the mix.

Forgot to say, as well as binning the mat tights (seriously. Asos mat tights. Best I found. Still shit) my now micro mini work skirt has also been retired. I'm pleased, but I suspect my colleagues are also relieved to no longer witness me tugging it down/round/etc

Frank. Do NOT tell me these things. 15 stone. 15 stone!

Sorry Sinks! I've not been near a set of scales since my 12 week scan, I put nearly a stone on by that point so figured I'd rather not know for the rest of my pregnancy and live in a happy bubble of denial! It helps that w don't own a proper set of scales, if I want to weigh myself I need to put the WiiFit on, and that's too much effort
