[Fattycow]

We are already nearing the halfway point! Some of us have already reached the 20 weeks, the rest will follow suit. Let the countdowns begin!

Here is the stats list, please update them with your scan dates and the sex of you baby (if you know it):

Zampa were planning something similar. Well just maybe Scarborough for weekend. We've been planning our wedding and OH is thinking of Prague for a honeymoon. X

That sounds lovely Charlie. My BFF suggested leaving the lo with the GPs and then just going to sleep in a Premier Inn hotel. Saves the hassle of travelling abroad!

happy mothers day mummys

Ooh I love Bruges!! So pretty. And the chocolate is just divine!! Shan't be going on holiday without our children for a long time yet though, not our style.

Same to you fatty! Wonder if my dh has remembered on behalf of dd and bump.

Got beef in the slow cooker right now. I'm doing a Sunday lunch with my sister tomorrow for mum and dad as a treat for Mother's Day. I'm doing the beef, sis is doing the trimmings. The house smells yummy!

ooh you are making me hungry! may have to hobble downstairs for a snack!
ive got the ex staying over in DDs room with her so I can have breakfast in bed off the monkeys

Happy mother's day everyone.

Not been posting much as had an awful few weeks at work and both me and DD1 have been ill so been a bit snowed under.

hope you both feel better soon nature
my breakfast in bed was soggy cheerios and burnt toast yummy. love them loads. also got my cards. DDs is also her first artwork

Happy Mother's Day ladies, hope everyone has a lovely day

Sounds good FattyMc :)

Hope your both back on top form now Nature

Hope everyone has a lovely day.

My kids are with their dad today so we'll celebrate tomorrow after school. My OH has treated me to some flowers and a nice card from bump tho so put a nice smile on my face.

I had such a busy day yesterday....

And happy Mother's Day to all the UK mums. I am very looking forward to out Mother's Day. Hopefully I'll get something...

Happy Mothers' Day everyone! I couldn't be with my mum today so we sent her a pic of me+bump+flowers in lieu.

Beef in the slow cooker sounds yummy broody can we come round too?

charlie you have your OH trained well! I had to point out to DH that he would be expected to buy the card and flowers for the first few years himself - he was incredulous until he realised that I would have to do the same for him

I've been missing a glass of wine. Was going to treat myself on holiday last week to one but then spent the whole holiday ill with a horrible cold!! No romance was had apart from a chaste kiss and a few bump rubs Also missing being able to eat a proper sized meal without feeling bloated like an ocean liner afterwards!

mrsc hope you are feeling a bit better today after your scan. Babies come in many sizes

I am very tired, probably still from doing so much yesterday.

Happy Mother's Day ladies! Hope everyone had a good, relaxing day. I've not been able to post as have had had a bit of a tough week... My Grandma passed away and I've been so incredibly busy with work. Trying not to get stressed out coz I don't want LO to feel it but I could really do with a bit of a break - luckily I'm going away with OH and a few friends in a couple of weekends time.
Has everyone had their scans and does that mean we're all past the halfway mark now? How exciting... I reckon the next 20 weeks will pass much quicker than the first 20. Eeeek!!

I'm so sorry for your loss clstow. Hope you're coping as well as can be expected.

Morning! I'm feeling like time is flying but also dragging. Can't believe I'm 23 weeks tomorrow because I thought I'd never get here, but same time I'm now so impatient to meet him!

How are you all?

I'm feeling big and sweaty - have about three showers a day to make me more comfortable.

Sorry for your loss clstow. Losing my gran was hardest thing ever, sending you hugs x

Thanks to all, feeling a bit better. DH has pointed out that my diet is really healthy, I eat lots often, I have a house ban on salt (for dd1&2) and eat very little sugar. My only vice being a real cup of tea with breakfast so nothing bad. Went out a driving lesson with dh yesterday, head not in it couldn't stop stalling which resulted in some shouting, calming down on a park bench and going to Tesco for some ice cream! Will just need to wait and hope this baby beefs up in the next few weeks!

Many hugs clstow

Well, beef yesterday was very yummy. small, saved you some Honestly, since having dd, the slow cooker has been my best friend! Don't know how I cooked without it before! So easy and I've only had a few disasters.

I was spoilt by dd and bump (maybe dh had something to do with it too?) - they gave me a pass for a day at a health spa, including a preggo massage, swimming, lunch and general relaxation for a whole eight hours! V lucky me

clstow, I'm sorry for your loss...

Thanks everyone. I am doing ok really, funeral this week so I'm sure I'll go to pieces then, but it's all part of the process.

In much happier news I am (finally) feeling regular movement. Think my little boy's gonna be a bit of a kicker judging by the flurries I've felt last night and today

Hello, haven't posted for a while on here. Just popping in to say we had our scan this afternoon and everything was fine. I guess that's probably all of us through the 20 week scans now?

clstow sorry to hear about your grandma.

Littlesmallgreenbanana (who resides in the "berry" as we call it I remembered!) is very kicky. She likes to kick downwards into my cervix and outwards to create tent like pokey bits. Last night my heart melted when the berry went a bit lopsided and I could feel a limb or something up against my belly - she was having a corner moment I'm not normally too gooey but this was adorable!
