Kitty Your school has Geocaching on the curriculum?? THATS AMAZING!! By boyfriend is nearly 28 but absolutely loves going out geocaching and even took his dad last time :D

Aw Royal what a lovely mothers day treat :D Is this your first one as a mother? I keep dropping hints to my dp that i think Immy(what we are calling her, short for Imogen) would want to get me a card hah!

Jenni 5 - 7pm? That's late lol, they will be buzzing from cake and sweets when they leave ha! I would definitely ask for a slice for the child in the belly!!! :)

Just had a lovely day out to Bourton on the Water had a lovely pub lunch then some scones and tea :D So yum!!!! I ended up going in to the Midwife drop in centre yesterday (that my midwife recommended) about the pinky discharge and she said i should have called triage as all she would be able to do was the doppler. But all looked good and she told me NOT to google things cause i said i was worried that LO movements were quite erratic sometimes and she said that lots of movement is normal, but that you should only monitor or be concerned if something is different for YOUR baby! Im such a worrier it is annoying.

Anyone else finding their temper short at the moment? Or anyone worrying they are getting pissed off for no reason? Had a friend of a friend comment on a picture yesterday like 'Aw when are you due?' and i said 'May 24th' then she said 'Oooh well, will be thinking of you when i am partying at Slamdunk Festival ha' just annoyed me as this is the same group of people that said that having a baby 'ruins your life' and i took the comment as a reminded that they will be partying and that is so much more 'fun'. i dunno, just annoyed me and i worried i was being over sensitive!

leanne I'm waay over sensitive at the moment. Everything my OH does at the moment seems to annoy me! Poor guy can't even eat without me commenting on the noise

No leanne it's my third I've never had a 4d scan before so I thought as it's my last baby why not!! so I'm combining it as a treat for me and my mum.

Scottish Glad it's not just me!! I am just like 'Are people getting more annoying or is it just me!?' haha!

Royal You deserve it!! I bet it will be amazing! Will be good to compare the scan picture with when baby is here :D

Hey everyone - just received an email from mothercare saying sale starts on Thursday but if you're registered for my mothercare you can get early access on Tuesday.

Hi all, hope had a good weekend! Have had a mixture of work stuff and personal stuff so not too bad (apart from waking up early both days!!)
I managed to pick up that Gina Ford book we were discussing the other day at the nearly new sale for £1 so will add that to my mat leave to do list!
Scottish do you know what the sale will include? Is it just clothes etc? I haven't had an email yet!
Those who've had anti-d injection did you have to take anything with you and does it hurt? (Not a fan of injections and needles!!) have got mine this week, not looking forward to battling morning work traffic to get to hospital and then going to work after!!

ooh thanks for letting us know Scottish

glad you got it checked out leanne and that she put your mind at ease :)

loved my spa weekend, baby apple was quiet for a fair bit of it which.made me feel a little uneasy but then got back to normal... Maybe she was shutting her ears to all the girly giggles and chat

She seemed to be happy when I was home and as soon as DH was sat next to me chatting with his hand on my bump she treated him to a good long kicking and wriggling session.

Overindulged though food wise and without my usual prunes I am suffering now...

oh and yes to the short temper leanne

thanks for letting us know Scottish I haven't received one yet.
smiley I had mine last week and there is a little bruise but didn't hurt after (as long as you don't poke at it)

I've got mine a week on Friday

Thanks Steph I think I can cope with that! Will just have to remind DH not to poke me hehe

Glad you had a good time at the spa Apple. I had mum to be spa package today courtesy of DH and it was gorgeous! A pregnancy massage was just what I needed.
Leanne pregnancy definitely lowers your tolerance levels! I find it frustrating when people say at 27 I'm young to be having a baby and insinuating that I'll miss out! How big an adventure is motherhood? I've travelled, got a job I love, married my DH and a baby is exactly what I wanted next!

smiley no didn't say what's included - just mid season sale. I had an anti d injection about a month ago. Mw was very ' this will hurt' but no worse than any other injection we've had so far like the flu jab or getting blood taken!

I'm almost finished the Gina Ford book. It's really badly written I must say. All over the place and not user friendly I think! But I do like the idea of a routine from the start. Think I'll feel more in control. I'm not a 'wing it' type of person! I'm onto baby whisperer next then Jo Frost. Figure I'll read as many approaches as I can and then hopefully make informed decisions! It'll all go out the window when he's here though. Especially the 'don't cuddle, talk or interact too much' advice! I'll not be able to stop myself!

If you wiggle your fingers while it's done the anti D doesn't hurt, it works for Injections in your bum too if you wiggle your toes

aww the pics are brill. a lil cutie already!! how far along are you? I have mine at 32 weeks

Awwwww tori Your little boy is so beautiful!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D

blondie I am 27 too, 28 in April, i am at that age where half of my friends are settling down and half are just planning their next drinking session so i have a mix of reactions. I just wish people would say 'Oh i am not ready for kids yet' because i understand some people just don't want kids. But it is when they act like their feelings are the only ones justified saying 'kids ruin your life'...uh no, actually my daughter is going to be the best thing i have ever done in my life! Arghhh

OMG Tori those pictures are unreal! Bet you can't stop looking at them and the idea of the bear sounds adorable!

Gorgeous pics Tori has made me want to get one now! Too cute!!

Glad you had a lovely pampering session blondie

Thanks for the wriggling fingers tip tits will make sure I remember that!

So cute Tori, I want one too! We had a quick switch on of the 3D scan at our 20 week scan, but baby wouldn't face the ultrasound probe so all we got was a detailed 3D print out of the back of his head and shoulders

Oh Tori that is fab! Bet it was amazing to see! Making me tempted to book one!

tori beautiful pics!! Must have been an amazing experience!

Apple glad you had a nice spa break...

Blondie your pregnancy message sounds amazing, I was looking into something like that for my bday next week!

Scottish thanks for the heads up, I havent recieved an email yet either!

I have my first growth scan tomorrow, cant wait to see baby again just hoping everything is growing as it should!! so back to having a slight panic!

Lovely pics tori, I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I got an email saying if I joined I would get exclusive access, so joined up. Nothing since though, maybe you automatically get it if you log in tomorrow?
