Cheery my major craving is shortbread. I've had to stop buying it. Sure that my huge consumption of it so far hasn't helped. Grin

Oh, congratulations on all the lovely scans, everyone!

My bump has suddenly 'popped' in the last three days - right after I felt the baby move for the first time, basically. I actually look pregnant and had my first comment from a stranger yesterday! It is extremely comforting to see the physical evidence of the baby right THERE, and now I can't keep my hands off my bump - I have become an annoying bump-massager.

I also bought some bras from Mothercare. Wasn't massively impressed with the service - she measured me over two layers of clothing, including a fluffyish jumper, for a start! And then she decided I was a 32DD, but they didn't have any 32DDs so she put me in a 34C with the band done up to the tightest setting. It's clearly not quite right - it's lifting at the back - but I was just so DESPERATE for a bra by this point that I bought a two-pack anyway, and figured I only have to wear them for a couple of months before my breasts grow again. It's a lot comfier than what I had, at least.

I actually suspect I'm now a 30E as I usually take a 28E/30DD, but so few places do 30 bands...

DH has accepted a lovely old birch cot (which converts into a bed) from the super couple who run our local pub, so that's one thing ticked off the list - just have to buy a new mattress for it.

I am sooo looking forward to my scan on Thursday now. Like a lot of you, I feel like if that goes well then I will be able to relax a lot more.

Found out today we're having a girl! Shock All along I was certain we were having a boy because I didn't have any morning sickness. Slightly petrified about raising a girl - simply because I was an absolute nightmare as a teenager and worried karma will come back to bite me in the bum

beautician that's a bit worrying about the new look stuff. I've got a new look order coming this week as well and a bit worried now that some of the sizes might be a bit askew Hmm

allthegoodnamesalreadytaken · 07/02/2016 14:30

also no decent scan photos (soz) the little madam was lying with her back to the camera the entire time so literally all the photos were of a very uninteresting spine Grin

Vickie360 · 07/02/2016 15:31

Congratulations allthegood shame about the photos!

Cookiesandcoffee · 07/02/2016 16:10

Congratulations allthegood wow team pink feels like it's getting very big!
bluebell that's annoying about your bras, maybe go to an M&S next time if you weren't overly satisfied? I was put off being measured since an episode when preg with dd1 and I'm sure they measured me completely wrong and bra was unwearable.
scase hope all is going well Smile

Scase1firsttimemum · 07/02/2016 16:11

Well I thought we were having a girl as Ive had some sickness but Im having a baby boy!

Scase1firsttimemum · 07/02/2016 17:02

We agreed on a name, I had to fight for it! But as soon as I put it together with a middle name and OHs last name he liked it a lot haha :L

Congrats Scase on team blue Wink Congrats allthegoodnames too! Ah so exciting!

DH says my cheeks are 'filling out a bit', as soon as he said it he must have seen my face drop and then said he was joking, just as I had ordered pudding!!

mascaraisamust · 07/02/2016 18:23

I've been nauseous and only sick a grand total of 7/8 times this whole pregnancy and I was convinced it was a boy and I was right (love of savoury foods, dry hands) etc!

Cookiesandcoffee · 07/02/2016 20:32

Congratulations scase Smile
mascara I've also had savoury cravings and not much sickness. I hope you told him off!

Random but is anyone watching Sam Fiares The Baby Diaries? I do love trashy tv I'm afraid!
