This do scorpio?

I don't think it's vain, I just think it has the potential to be confusing! I like my name (Francesca) and have thought about it as a middle name. Hated it when I was little, though.

My middle name is my mums name (Lynette)

Francesca is very pretty, I love Italian names.
Yeah, it could be very confusing, I am named after my aunt, we were known as little Suzanne (me) and big Suzanne (her), not sure I want to be known as Big Suzanne now!!

I had home made (smug preen emoticon) chicken noodle soup that made with leftover roast chicken.
And a satsuma.

Spoiled it by eating piece of ginger cake, 3 chocolates, and 2 biscuits oh god am such a piggy

I think I can feel the baby moving!!!! So exciting! Hope it's not just wind after so much food.

poke it!

Thank you!

Oh, you mean the name

Oh Scorpio you were doing so well until the wotsits I had vegetable tart, salad, pasta, yoghurt (and a doughnut )
Ellie - mmmmmm Chinese, my DH would probably object for the same reasons though

love food porn , keep dreaming of lovely soft oozzy cheese

I found pasteurised soft cheese at the weekend! (we can eat that, right?) Waitrose Epoisses, don't know how much it is as rich friend provided, but goddamn it was delicious.

the deli i went to to get my sarnie today does lush goats cheese red marmalade and rocket sandwiches. i wanted one! they also do red lentil pate and green salad, but im not allowed that either am i!!

Am sure you can have lentil pate, think it's just meat pate a) because it tends to have lots of liver (too much Vit A) and b) because it sits around basically unrefrigerated and can pick up bacteria that way.

I was taken out for lunch (my job's not so bad sometimes...) and couldn't eat a single starter (out of about 8!) except the soup, which was essentially a bowl of cream which might have had mushroom and asparagus dipped briefly in it whilst it was stewing. Then lamb burger with chips and bread and butter pudding (well, you have to make the most of it when someone else is paying...).

Spag bol tonight - made double last night. Although I did randomly put a chilli in it and it was a bit too spicy, so maybe I should just add some beans and do oven chips and join Scorpio and Soph!

no, tis veggie pate too

Hmm, Soph, glad to see that you are scared of me . But scampmum thinks Queenie's alright ... and she sounds pretty sensible to me. I've gone off it a bit since last time, though, so I think LO's safe. For now.

DH away again all week, so supper may be banana cake and ice cream to cheer myself up. Got to do more painting this week too. Sheds - you def need a pudding to keep your strength up for the move. The problem with scorpio starting the food talk is that she eats really healthily - it makes me feel guilty!

Suze - writer/ editor

It always takes so long to get through these posts loving the names (except queenie). Ive got a Kiera nd an Ethan hoping to give this one another Celtic based name any Welsh or Irish girls want to give any suggestions. I like Niamh but Dh opposed su to spelling and confusion later on.

Weve been to Trafford centre today and finished the xmas shopping - yeah, just the food to go - boo.

Well yu know Denny, have been trying to give away that Celtic names book for ages now LOL- just let me know and I'll post to you (DEFINITELY won't be needing for another!)

Oh forgot to say girls names we need (would have had Declan for a boy)

Balls, I don't think I was supposed to eat the pasteurised cheese. Can't believe that about veggie pate! I am such a naughty pregnant person. Forgot to say (on that topic) - I had a glass of champagne on Sat night and felt quite pissed and went really red. Was extremely embarrassed to be resemble a foetus-abusing lush. Think that might mark the end of my pregnancy boozing!

Oh I am hungry now!

Ellie/Scorpio - you do realise our babies are going to be born with finger shaped dents in them where we´ve kept poking them to see whether it´s them moving or food digesting

Scampmum, lol - I frequently seem to resemble foetus-bashing lush - well, I don't drink unless there's other people around, then have one glass, and get tipsy. Ridiculous.

I've eaten most things you're not supposed to. Everything in moderation I say. Did you see the new guidelines about peanuts? Apparently we're supposed to eat them now, as new reseach published in British medical journal found that since people haven't been while PG allergies have risen, while in countries where they have a peanut-heavy diet peanut allergy is practically non-existent. So there.

oh i don't poke millie anymore she does massive kickc that make me jump!

Scampmum - I haven't drunk at all since i got bfp, im too scared i'll hurt her!

I've given up drinking my glass of wine outside the house now as too big! Still have it though on a friday
