We don't care when you're due! We just want a giggle and be silly!
We've jumped off the busses but still want a little craziness!

Haha zermatt, we've told our parents, my one sister, DH's brother and my best friend.

I feel that's too many already! Saying that though, these nights out would be easier if everyone knew.
May end up spilling the beans on my birthday night out Friday if my scan goes well Wednesday.

Starbright24 · 11/05/2014 10:12

Haha zermatt I know that feeling with my oh.

I think my mum was very surprised I have told her as only 5w. As it's only her and my sis who I have told (who have course told my dad and my brother inlaw) that's all I'm telling for now.
I'll leave it up to oh if he wants to tell his mum - but I get the feeling he's not in a hurry.

Zermatt · 11/05/2014 10:16

Mmm clotted cream, you can't get that here, they have their scones and Jam with whipped cream, eejits.

I'm not telling anyone else now until after 12 wk scan, and the ones I've told are exactly who I'll be turning to for support if the worst happens.

I'm leaving it to my DH as well starbright for when he wants to tell his parents, he says he might wait til it's born, although he's joking (at least I think he is).

PolytheneGirl · 11/05/2014 10:43

I haven't told anyone yet, just DH. I'm not planning on telling anyone till after the scan. I think everyone is going to be completely floored by it. As I said yesterday, even my DM thinks another one is off the cards. I'm just worried that their first reaction is going to be horror rather than excitement Blush

I completely agree with what you said last night Madem my Mom n Dad love my little boy beyond compare and she knows I would have liked ahouse full really. Hopefully this means she'll be really happy for us?!

PolytheneGirl · 11/05/2014 10:49

Zermatt it's really easy to make clotted cream at home! You basically bake thick whipping cream in a covered casserole dish at a low temp for 8-12 hours (until you get a nice yellow crust)

Treaclepie19 · 11/05/2014 11:04

Try and keep positive Poly, I'm sure she will be thrilled but worried for you. Talking about it means its on her mind so maybe she would be more excited than you think?

Zermatt · 11/05/2014 11:32

I think I love you Poly!

MademoiselleG · 11/05/2014 14:40

That's great then Poly, your mam sounds lovely. I am sure she will be thrilled...then worried...but thrilled...you are her dd after all!

I have also turned into a bit of a 'telling machine', zermatt and fancy (COD almighty!): I've told the lady who was doing my nails yesterday, told a random dad whose daughter was playing with mine in the park today when he asked me if we wanted more, told a few friends we rarely see. I think I'll try to book a scan soon-ish (6+1 today) to get some reassurance and tell more people... Part of me feels that 'making it real' by telling means nothing bad will happen. Very scientific, I know.

Mmmh clotted cream...oh no wait, I want to vom!

Went for peanut butter Ben & Jerry's over scones. It was bloody gorgeous!

Bra shopping was a success - could not believe how comfortable non-wired bras are. It's like each of my boobs is tucked up in bed.

Treaclepie19 · 11/05/2014 20:10

Ugh bad day today. Me and DH have been arguing all day. I'm not coping with work, he isn't coping with my hormones. Not good!

fancy, glad you had success :) I haven't found a comfortable non wired yet, any recommendations?

fancyacupoftea · 11/05/2014 20:15

Sorry you're not having a good day Treacle. Hope it's better tomorrow.

I went to BHS and got a normal looking bra that's just not wired and then one of these link
It's very slightly padded but really comfy. I have smallish boobs (32C normally) so I might find it easier though to get comfy ones than those with bigger boobs.

Treaclepie19 · 11/05/2014 20:48

Thanks fancy :) I have small boobs too. 365 but I need the support or they have a mind of their own. They are definitely growing though...

MundayCakes85 · 11/05/2014 21:10

Evening all- all birthday BBQ'd out. Lots of friends over and luckily had my mum to help tidy up. DH asleep on sofa after too much red wine and fun! 20 weeks today!

fancyacupoftea · 11/05/2014 21:32

I love how we're all at different stages here. 20 weeks Munday!!!

Is it your birthday today? If so, happy birthday!! Cake

Treaclepie19 · 11/05/2014 21:33

Haha sounds lovely munday :)

Also fancy, I meant 36B not 365...

MundayCakes85 · 11/05/2014 22:23

Yep birthday today with a half baked bump Grin
It's nice to be able to tell you things get better after 12 weeks and that we've had similar experiences.
My boobs went from 32/34B to 36C/D they are now big enough to be seen in space. My DH can't stop looking at them Blush

Treaclepie19 · 11/05/2014 22:25

Aww happy birthday!!! :)
Haha my DH is already like that and they've barely grown. I dread to think what will happen when they really grow.

My birthday is next Monday, it's a bit awkward as nobody really knows!

MademoiselleG · 11/05/2014 23:07

Happy birthday Munday! It is really nice to have people at different stages - and brings hope too Smile
