Good luck Mrs diddly keep us posted .

Well as I've been overly active I've got a beanster who could audition for strictly come dancing. Seems like beanie comes into action around 3am and around 10 pm I do hope this is not a pattern when he/ she is born .

Not got any furniture yet though!

SnozzberryPie · 07/10/2015 12:23

This poor baby will be sleeping with us to start with, then moving in with dd.

mrsdiddlydoo · 07/10/2015 12:43

Same here. She'll be with us as long as it works out then sharing with her brother for a year or two. Secretly glad I don't have to think about nursery's.

Scan went well. Bit small but within an acceptable range. Predicted already 3lb 6oz. My placenta is still touching the exit but not covering it anymore and hopefully will have moved by my next scan in 2 weeks.

Eek.

Oh and she had long femurs. Not from me! Maybe she'll have my dh's long legs!!

Metalhead · 07/10/2015 13:45

Another baby here who will have to share with her big sister. We will move them both into a bigger room some time next year so will have to redecorate then.

Glad your scan went well mrsdiddly!

Metalhead · 09/10/2015 15:22

I just had a pregnancy massage, it was sooo nice and relaxing! Nearly fell asleep on the table, haha!

Anyone got plans for the weekend? I'm getting my hair done Sunday morning and then we've got a pub lunch to celebrate a friend's birthday.

chopsface · 09/10/2015 17:52

Sounds relaxing metal I've been rushed off my feet at work all day!

As for the weekend I've got my uncles 60th birthday party Saturday night and then its my friends birthday on Sunday and we're probably going out for lunch and maybe a film. Might go pram shopping tomorrow too. The choice is so hard! It has to be the right one!

pizzakat · 09/10/2015 22:00

Ahh metal very jealous! Gonna have to look up to see if I can find somewhere to get one as that sounds heavenly

OHs birthday tomorrow, bought him a PS4 that I've spent the evening testing out while he's at woek

pizzakat · 09/10/2015 22:01

Fat fingers strike again. Wanted to add I've been feeling and being sick a lot over the last couple of days, anyone else had a return of morning sickness esque fun?

chopsface · 10/10/2015 10:20

Yes pizza sickness has returned for me too :-( well nausea mostly. And feel like I'm going to be sick after my evening meal but managed to keep them down so far by breathing and closing my eyes!

Argued with dh this morning. He's being a jerk about travelling to a family party tonight. My relative. In a few more weeks its a big family family of his I'm not looking forward to but I'm going! And I'll be 34 weeks and sleeping in his brothers bed!

Metalhead · 10/10/2015 16:49

Sorry to hear sickness has returned for you pizza and chops. I felt a bit nauseous again for a couple of weeks but it seems to have calmed down. Constipation on the other hand has ramped up again Sad.

On a positive note, I weighed myself today and despite my bump expanding by the week, I haven't actually put on any weight over the last few weeks. Was a bit worried I'd pile it on in the last trimester, but so far I'm still at about 10-11kg total gain, which I'm quite happy with. And to celebrate I promptly treated myself to a lemon muffin! Grin

mrsdiddlydoo · 10/10/2015 18:45

My nausea has never really left but has definitely been worse again the last couple of weeks. And I've been more constipated. The joys of the third trimester!

Haven't a clue how much weight I've put on. I'm all bump though no fat (sorry ladies) but that's just due to my slim build. Was the same last time, except my boobs are smaller this time. I figure that's what 18m breastfeeding does.

chopsface · 10/10/2015 23:18

Also all bump and no fat Mrs People keep commenting that I've not put on weight elsewhere. Should I have?! I just want to say to them "should be arse have expanded or something"?! Don't understand!

I'm up and awake after 11pm!! Just got back from surprise 60th party. Pooped. Had 5 million people ask me how many weeks I have left. Sure I gave several different answers! Meh. Dh is sat opposite me reading the maxi cosy catalogue bless him.

chopsface · 10/10/2015 23:21

The bumpage!!

Metalhead · 11/10/2015 07:41

Agree chops I don't know if people just expect you to get fat when you're pregnant or what.

It seems like quite an achievement these days to stay up late doesn't it?! I was very proud when I made it to midnight at a wedding I went to at 26 weeks!

That looks like a perfectly neat bump, will try and get a pic of mine later.

chopsface · 11/10/2015 08:47

I can't believe it's still got another 8-10 weeks of growing to do!

mrsdiddlydoo · 11/10/2015 15:28

Beautiful chops although my brain read bum page as opposed to bumpage and I was confused until the photo loaded.

Just put a treacle sponge in my slow cooker for our after tea. Can't wait to eat it.

SnozzberryPie · 11/10/2015 17:58

I'm mostly bump too, I'm not sure if the weight piles on in the last few weeks or if I am just lucky. I'm eating enough cake that I ought to be getting fat but I am also getting lots of exercise running around after dd.

I'm starting to think about birth and have got out my natal hypnotherapy CDs (which I highly recommend) and am looking at buying a tens machine from eBay. I also want to sit down and write a birth plan, something I never got around to last time.

I'm still at work but counting down the weeks now...

Metalhead · 12/10/2015 09:56

My 32 week bump!

I joined a local NCT group for second time mums as I wanted to have someone to meet up with during my ML, but three of them have already had their babies now and another will probably be having hers this week, so I'm feeling a bit left out. There's only one lady who's due in December as well, just hope hers doesn't come early... Blush.

chopsface · 12/10/2015 15:01

Nice bump metal :-)

Can't wait to have a night in this evening :-) the later in my pregnancy, the fuller my social calendar! Too tired for this! This week I have dentist, Aquanatal, Midwife, whooping cough jab and we start our NCT! Oh and I'm working Saturday, that sucks :-(

In the coming weeks I'll have another 5 NCT sessions, either evenings or Saturday, my baby shower and a family party! I just want to be resting! 4 week countdown to Maternity leave now though :-)

chopsface · 14/10/2015 18:40

Overdid it today and made myself poorly. I had the day off so I decided to put the 2nd coat on the nursery. Bad idea :-( I was virtually done when I came over all dizzy and sweaty and had to lie down on the landing :-( the funny turn also gave me a bout of the runs, iron supplement black, ewwww tmi! After that I've felt ill all day! Really weak and tired. Really need to take things more easy.

Metalhead · 14/10/2015 19:23

Oh no, that doesn't sound good chops! Make sure you put your feet up tonight and maybe get an early night. Definitely take it easier from now on, get DH to do any DIY jobs.

Another week or of work finished for me, now just 6 days left, whoop! About time too, I swear my bump has got bigger again since I posted that pic on Monday and it's now right up to my ribs when I sit down at my desk and very uncomfortable.
