I have not had the pleasure of trying Krispy Kremes, well remembered. Are they as good as everybody keeps saying?

I've just woken up, fell asleep rather without warning for an hour and a half. I woke up and couldn't remember what day/time it was or why I was asleep on the floor (why was I on the floor?). I've had a really good couple of months with feeling great and healthy but I seem to be falling back into first trimester fatigue. I'm sleeping about 11 hours a night and still needing to nap in the afternoon. So, second timers (even those with nightmare 22 month olds), is this where pregnancy gets tiring again? I've got 12 weeks to go yet, why am I so tired?

What is this Dancing on Ice programme?

lupins he is 19 months now!!!!!!!!!!! nitemare

lillaura · 17/02/2007 19:24

SOH im afraid so i found t worse than 1st trimester last time - this time i fall asleep as soon as sprogs are down - altho ds wakes once a nite so i manage to roll out from whereever ive fallen and then cant bk to sleep - make the most of it hun

I think its more to do with the weight of the baby putting a strain on your body that makes you tired. I am starting to feel more tired now, and seem to recall being the same last time round. Would get home from work and collapse on the sofa. I have 10+5wks left, i hope it goes quickly.

J can be very demanding but can also be a total angel. He was far better behaved than i thought he would be, he just knows how to play to an audience He was so excited about being on a 'Choo Choo' and then seeing loads of buses was like the icing on the cake or KK!

SOH, if you would like one of these yummy KK's then please send me your address and i will gladly pop one the post to you. My email is [email protected]. If i seal it in an air tight box it will still be ok by the time you would get it on Tuesday. Wont be offended if you dont email

lillaura · 17/02/2007 19:31

i got 11 weeks left 9 - 10 if OC results come bk positive - if i recall this is the bit that drags cuz it actually sounds like no time at all considering how long baby been in there but its the longest stretch literally u suddenly grow bigger too

aprilmeadow · 17/02/2007 19:52

LL - Lovely photos btw. How old are you if you dont mind me being nosey?

I am finding that all the trousers that fitted fine a few weeks ago are starting to really dig in. By the time i get home i just want to get my pjs on and be comfortable. Will end up going to work in my jogging bottoms at this rate. I have only put 12lbs on so far but it all seems to be at the front and thats where everything is digging in.

Just off to watch Dancing on Ice that i recorded earlier. I hope duncan has sortedhis hair out this week!

ShowOfHands · 17/02/2007 19:53

It's not physically possible for me to grow bigger. It can't be. There are laws of physics preventing any more bumpage. Oh God how bad is it going to get? You should see me getting up off the floor (where I sleep atm because of sciatica). I have to be pushed up into a sitting position by DH, flop forward like an obese stranded walrus, get on hands on knees and pull myself up on the nearest available piece of furniture. And I have no idea of my own dimensions- I keep walking into things. And you reckon it gets worse? Pah! This baby had better be good.

AM, I can't just email you my address and wait for you to send me food. Can I? That's one up from begging, one down from me standing in the window to Bakers Oven, nose pressed against the glass as I gaze longingly at the gingerbread men. Nice old lady gave me one for free the other day 'for the baby'. I think she just wanted me to stop licking the glass.

ShowOfHands · 17/02/2007 19:58

It's just clicked... I am the answer to this country's teen pregnancy problem. Video me at 3am trying to get out of bed for my 17th toilet break of the night. No self-respecting girl wants to end up looking like me and no sex-mad boy is going to impregnate what is a perfectly fit and able young girl if that's the outcome.

And the amazing thing is that as I struggle back into bed my cheeky sod of a DH always attempts his 'while you're awake and huffing and puffing about anyway' routine as if he's remotely amusing with his flat stomach and fully-functioning bladder.

lillaura · 17/02/2007 20:01

im 22, thanks for comment about photos need to find more recent ones of kiddies tho!! SOH i suffered with sciatica last pg was awful couldnt even walk down road without being in floods of tears cuz of pain in stomach and legs - just getting the odd dead leg this time - h8 to tell you but you are gna get bigger - similar things happen when im getting up from floor etc lots of uncontrolable grunting - yet the floor seems to be the only place i can comfortably fit lol had to start changing ds bum on sofa cuz cant stand up straight for bout 5 mins after being on floor - kids no it to running rings round me cuz they know i cant chase em

lillaura · 17/02/2007 20:02

not to mention his being able to just spring out of bed lol

lillaura · 17/02/2007 20:02

not to mention his being able to just spring out of bed lol

aprilmeadow · 17/02/2007 20:16

Well i did buy them with the intention of sending you one as i felt so sorry that you hadnt ever experienced a KK

Yup, you will get bigger! I thought i was doing ok on the weight front last time round. By this time in the pg i had put on a 1st and a half and thought i cant really put on much more, but sure enough in the space of 10weeks i had put another 1.5st on! Looked like a whale. Thank god i have an active toddler to run around after, means that i am not putting it on as fast Oh, and stretch marks, didnt have any til about 34weeks, then they suddenly appeared on the tops and insides of my thighs, boobs, bottom and only a few - but enough - on the lower part of my bump. Not bright red, but not invisable either.

LupinsBigLump · 17/02/2007 20:17

SOH this is definatly where your body turns into something unrecognisable

I fell asleep with dd yesterday for 2 hours - she doesnt usually sleep in the day now so i was lucky enough to get her when she was tired

Am off to wallow in tub slip into something more comfotable lol - my pj's, back in a bit

btw lil my cauli cheese was scrumptious, how was your pizza?

ShowOfHands · 17/02/2007 20:22

Already have stretch marks on my thighs, boobs and bum. Nothing on my stomach at all. But my bump is huge- everybody at work is amazed by it and the odd thing is, the rest of me is exactly the same size, maybe even thinner but my bump is enormous. If one more person says 'ooh must be due any day'...

I'm a biffa.

aprilmeadow · 17/02/2007 20:26

Have uploaded a picture of my dh in panto!

lillaura · 17/02/2007 20:29

ShowOfHands · 17/02/2007 20:31

PMSL at Gordon the Mute Gorilla.

And I still love that pic of ds on the 'choo choo'.

aprilmeadow · 17/02/2007 20:33

He was soooo excited by the 'Choo Choo' especially as he had seen Thomas the Tank Engine in the sidings.

lillaura · 17/02/2007 20:53

just added more recent pics of kiddies

ShowOfHands · 17/02/2007 21:09

Such beautiful children lillaura.

AM, from my house I can see a train line and every time a train goes past I mumble choo choo under my breath quite gleefully. And I'm 26.

I love riding on the train, only been on one a couple of times (again, I'm such a yokel) and I'm sure I could give ds a run for his money in the 'nose pressed up against window' stakes. DH gets very fed up with my 'but just look at the graffiti' and 'a cow, look a cow, there in that field, a cow' comments.

lillaura · 17/02/2007 21:11

ty v much SOH
well im calling it a night baby trying to turn so hopefullly she wont be sat on my bladder and head butting my ribs tmrw nite all xx

aprilmeadow · 17/02/2007 21:39

Sorry for just disappearing like that, i blame it totally on FSF . Just been gassing for an hour - well i had to fill her in on the meet up

SOH, i still get excited when i see things out of the train window. I will be 26 in April! Today was only the second train ride J has done and he kept pointing out the trees and the planes and the other choo choo's that we passed/or passed us. When i see the graffiti i think 'how on earth did they manage to get onto/over/into that position to be able to spray that'

LL - your ds looks so cute with his 'tache

Frenchsmallfry · 17/02/2007 21:59

It's not true, I've very quiet, shy and socially enept, I do not find it easy to talk therefore it must have been AM's fault.

So glad the meet up went well.

I'm joining SOH's bid to rid MN of young, beautiful, slim, used to be blonde - yuk mad girls on dc no.3.

SOH - You must let AM send you a KK, you will never know otherwise. Better tell her quick though other wise she'll eat them all.

Hope LWatkins is oK, she hasn't been around for a while? & Lg&t it's definately time you were back! We miss you!
