evening all! Just a quick hello as no time for a proper catch up and you lot have been doing some serious chatting!!
Did see that you'd had your scan Mixedmama, congrats, v pleased all went well.
Only 3 more days in the office before mat leave begins - hurrah! feel absolutely enormous so can't wait to ditch the trek in on the train. I get 7 months at full pay then 2 months at statutory before 3 months of unpaid. Am also taking 4 weeks of holiday before official mat leave starts so am very lucky to be able to go so early. My boss has also asked if I will do some work for them while i'm off in a freelance capacity which will help with the unpaid leave.
Updated myself before with new due date but appears to have dropped off the list so have re-done it. Hi to everybody and promise to catch up with all the posts tomorrow

Hello Tripletsandtwins we are a chatty bunch ? don?t worry about keeping up, just jump on and tell us how you are when you can . LOL at DT1?s names for the babies I once did an adoption and the little boy got to choose his new middle name ? he wanted Buzz So glad to hear all is going well, you really sound like you are taking it all in your stride ? 5 babies in all, oh my goodness! I love your pics, your kids are gorgeous!

Hey Awen sorry to hear that the mice are STILL about! Do lots of stamping about during the viewings, that should keep them at bay!

Cazzybaby hope you had a lovely holiday It?s lovely when they start moving isn?t it? We think our LO is a Jedi like its Daddy we had a kicking frenzy to the Star Wars theme in the car yesterday! Hope the move goes well.

Welcome KezzKezza I think my second midwife appointment was around 16 weeks due to the testing, weird that they were not in touch re testing. I?d give them a call if I were you, I would have thought you should have seen them at least once more by now but then again, every area is different. Tell us more about yourself

Moominmum hey, I?m in Edinburgh too (well sort of, I work there, live W Lothian but hope to move back soon ) I only got a 20 week scan because of a medical condition so understand the whole postcode lottery! Where are you having your baby? I plan to go to St John?s so far they have been fab. Yeah ? another lady in Scotland!

Lilyloo impressed at your late night I can manage 11, sometimes! I don?t like The Simpsons but spider pig did appeal to me

Hello Gingeme

Damn it ? out of time I?ll catch up with the rest tomorrow! Hope everyone is doing well

wow - it has been really busy today!

mixedmama - we have been talking about no 3 too. Washed loads of ds's old baby clothes today, seems like only yesterday he was in them. Am feeling so tired and out of breath so easy, dont remember feeling like this early on with ds.

Really pleased 24 weeks today another milestone. So are we going to do a new thread? Title could include something about stretchmarks? 3rd trimester? bulging bumps & boobs?

Hello all, just poking my head back in here.

I just ate a packet of jelly tots, about 10 minutes ago, and the baby is going nuts. Kicks up, down, left, right. Am I creating a sugar-junkie in there do you think?

fluffymummy - i've also been in stealth mode so far but having just seen some photos of myself from the other day I can't believe how few people have said anything. They're probably all talking about me behind my back! I think it's time to start bringing out the belly and dealing with the consequences - whatever they may be! It will be a relief... I'm getting pretty sick of having to wear floppy tops to disguise the bump and having people think I'm just a very enthusiastic pie eater!

it's been a busy few weeks for me with lots of flying around, including a wedding on the other side of the world and some conferences. I think I've got a few weeks of relative peace now so looking forward to enjoying that!

my next scan is coming up on Thursday - feeling excited this time, rather than terrified as I was last time. Oh, ok. Maybe a little bit scared, but mostly keen to see how the sea monster is doing and to find out if we're going to have to stop calling him 'him'. I suspect that once I know if it's a him or a her my discipline with not buying anything will be completely shot!

i'm also doing something else exciting this week and starting some pregnancy pilates classes. I used to do pilates a year or so ago and loved it so I'm really looking forward to getting back into it!

that's about it for me from excitement. I've been doing my best to keep up with everyone but time is short and you gals sure are chatty!

hope everyone and their bubs are well!

hi girls
i went to dr's appt. yesterday and he was like so do you know the sex? and I said no and we don't want to. I was telling him how my mum had wanted to come with me so that he could write the sex down on a bit of paper for her and I was like no way! Then she would know and would be smirking knowingly for the next 17 weeks! No thanks! Then I was telling him about my hubby's auntie who rubs your belly when pregnant and tells you what the sex is! She did this on Sunday and said a girl. He was like oh she was just guessing and I said probably but she was right with my first one and my sister in law's and hubby's cousin - all girls! So he did a scan and was like I know what the sex is and don't you think DD1 would like to know if she is having a brother or sister and I was like it's tempting but no, she will be fine either way!!
I feel like it is a boy, but I thought that with DD1 so who knows!! [wimk]
