December 2016 - Thread 5! 20 week scans and wriggly babies

[DartmoorDoughnut]

Thought I'd start a new thread before thread 4 fills up

Asda are selling 6 colour my world closer to nature Tommy tippee bottles for £10 reduced from £32 x

amazon are investigating re the box for me- I'm already on Prime so it should have come up for me to claim after creating a list but didn't- after 20 mins of them trying to find an answer on Amazon chat they are now going to email me as there seems to be 'some issue with availability and they are investigating internally'.... will update if I have any success.

Thanks for the tip on the bottles becciandbump

I've also gone on a cleaning drive, which is most unlike me! I've scrubbed the car, cleaned windows, bleached everything in sight, cleaned the banisters. Sorted the garden .... my DH is finding it disconcerting! I'd happily stop work now and just scrub the house from top to toe.

Jfw82 I've just been told by 'Michael' on live chat that they have run out of boxes and offer has expired . Bring on the next offer bigfam please! and thanks becciaandbump - I do need a new set of bottles.

Anybody else fed up of work? dont know whether its just me, but i feel so stressed about going in and i feel as if some girls on the team are ignoring me or not making me feel welcome. dont know whether because im pregnant ive picked up on it, but they hardly speak to me in a morning - and never include me in anything, quite snappy to be honest.
Might be me being hormonal but i go home upset every day. xx

cnc I couldn't be arsed at work since early on, just too tired mid afternoon! I have a post it count down on my monitor - 13 working weeks left. Can't come fast enough.

Oh no, the box offer expired! That's me not getting one too! Gutted

Nooooo! Found my first big fat stretch mark ive forgotten to oil my hips and have a big one on the left one! Bump stretch mark free so far tho. Don't know why I'm so upset I already have loads on my hips from my teenage growth spurt but still feel sad!

Oh no theaks they said it was on for a while yet!
becciandbump it's fine, I'm literally one huge walking stretch Mark now 😆

Haha big fam that made me smile

Wow what great service the cribs has been delivered a day early, good job I sent it straight to my dad as I'm at work today!!

I am already covered In silvery stretch marks from DS1 - I was so smug I hadn't got any, then I woke up one morning at around 32 weeks and it looked like someone had scribbled on me with red pen 😩

Hello everyone, been away for a while as I suddenly couldn't find the new thread! all good, had the 20 weeks scant and having a boy : ) exciting, already have a 22 month old DD, so all news with a boy! only downside is, can't use any of DD's bags of girly clothes. Oh well, another excuse to shop!

panicking a bit now, as we live in a one bedroom flat, and were initially planning on moving to a two-bed but am now seriously considering moving to my native country this spring, although not firm plans yet, and so, with that perspective, have decided to stay in the one-bed for now. Or, to be correct, DH decided it, while at the same time not being willing to fully commit to the moving plans. grrrrr

anyway, it makes sense to stay if we're not staying for long. But this night I couldn't go to sleep, I started panicking about where to fit the baby's bed in the bedroom (DD is already in the room with us) and where to fit his clothes. All drawers and wardrobes are full already! and realised, I won't be able to have a bedside sleeper like I had with DD, the way the room is, it won't be possible to fit two beds for the kids that way, they will have to sort of side by side. And then I started worrying a bit the baby waking up DD when he wakes at night for breastfeeding. It all just suddenly seems impossible to me. Anyone else going to have two kids in a one bed????

PS, Bigfam and all the rest of you, wish you could infect me with an urge to clean!! : ) the only thing I have an urge for is to sleep and eat Magnum almond.

cncchapman im ready to stop work now I'm just tired and feel maternity leave just couldn't come soon enough x

Saw this online about how to calm a crying baby im willing to take all the tips I get so thought I'd share

I didn't get the box either, I couldn't find live chat so had phoned them this morning but the customer service person was a bit crap and what she suggested didn't work! Now it's expired. Will have to keep an eye out if it comes up again!

I did pop out to the Matalan sale with my mum and got loads of baby bits though!! And a few more in saibsvurys

Tinklypoo that is absolutely gorgeous 😍😍😍
I really wish I had the skill, patience & time to make that, I'd prefer One of those over a sleepyhead any day!

I had my 24 week check up this morning at GPs, was more of a chat! All seems okay so far, she measured my tummy and said my uterus was 22cm, which is a bit on the small side but she said that's expected as I am very petite and was underweight pre pregnancy! My BP was 90/60 so no signs of pre eclampsia yet. Has anyone else had their uterus measured? Should I be worried that it's 2cm less than average?

Babydreaming usually midwives don't measure yet, I know mine won't be measured until I see my mw at 28 weeks. In all four of my pregnancies I measured small in later weeks and sent for growth scans (by at least 4-5cm) apparently it's just the way I carry. 2cm is hardly anything, so don't worry yourself

Bigfam my bag arrived today, can fit lots in it, thanks for the tip :)
Is anyone else missing their belly button? Mine has officially disappeared now.

I wasn't expecting it to be so big either sueevone but I can't complain 😊
My belly Burton's gone, I think I've got a hernia as well 😯

Thanks big fam! It was growing well on the 20 week scan so fingers crossed everything is fine. He does seem to lie low in my belly. GP didn't seem concerned so I'll try not to be! I'm off for a 2 week holiday in Singapore/Malaysia from Wednesday so that'll be a nice distraction.

Hope you have a lovely holiday babydreaming 😊
