well I haven't grown - still 8.75 squares. My bubba is still sitting really really low down though so the biggest part of my bump isn't growing at all.

Mychelle - really glad to hear your trips were good. I love all things wedding so make sure you come and gossip about all your wedding plans Where are you based? Perhaps we can find you a beautiful location!!!

DQ - tomorrow will be fine, infact it will be more than fine it will be fantastic !!!!!

I haven't seen any photos done with body stocking type things but I would also like a piccie done without my face. I would really just like my belly, boobs, hands and shoulders in shot. I'd also like to do something with dd - perhaps kissing my bump or something?????

goldenoldie · 02/08/2005 14:48

Starry - my DS is 9.

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:39

Hmmm, maybe 4 and 5 is too young then.

Sh - PMSL at 'bodystocking' - can't quite imagine it!!!!! I think i'll go for in the nod - all very tasteful of course! I'm just anxious in case I have a shedload of stretchmarks by then...

Nemo1977 · 02/08/2005 15:47

stretchmarks by then...am i the only one whose stretchmarks reappeared with a vengence then..lol Saying that i suppose i only 'recently' had ds

sweetheart · 02/08/2005 15:47

starry, the photographer I was looking at says she can remove stretch marks from the photograph

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:47

sorry, I probably have a rather lewd image of a bodystocking. ahem.

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:48

Woohoo - someone could have told me that! Remove the stretchmarks!

Nemo - I still have all the old stretchmarks...just wondering if my fab body will find new and innovative places for some shiny new red ones

sweetheart · 02/08/2005 15:49

Can you share it - I could do with some cheering up this afternoon

sweetheart · 02/08/2005 15:50

starry, read this section of the website

I'm sure it's something that other photographers can offer!!!!

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:50

I was thinking of fishnet and crotchless ahem.

sweetheart · 02/08/2005 15:51

OH it's gone to the home page - well it's under FAQ's anyway!!!

rofl - crotchless!!!!! Ca't quite see it as I'm sitting here in high wait trousers - I look like Simon Cowell!!!!!

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:52

Yep - they are exactly the kind of piccies my friend had done. I particularly like the outdoors one - cool. I can't wait! Have you priced it up yet? My friends whole thing was £500 which I thought was very good for the package (antenatal/birth/postnatal inc all pictures and an album)

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:53

PMSL PMSL Simon Cowell!!! Me too! Man, what pg does to us, hey.

starrynight · 02/08/2005 15:54

Whoever thought Simon Cowell, fishnet crotchless bodystocking and a birth photographer would appear in 3 messages on mumsnet!

starrynight · 02/08/2005 16:02

I knew the crotchless bodystocking would kill it!

sweetheart · 02/08/2005 16:07

rofl!!!!

I'm still here!!!! Thanks so much starry, you don't know what it means to have a smile on my face in this office!!!!!!

lol ha ha!!!!!!!

Anyway, it would appear that to have a pregnancy shoot and then another shoot with the baby costs £195 and this includes two free A4 portraits which I didn't think was too bad. Only trouble is I know I'd want all the pictures and end up spending a fortune!!!!!!

I noticed on the belly casting website that they do casting parties for up to 10 ladies. Perhaps we should get together and arrange a party - we could all get our belly's done at the same time
Now that would be a way to break the ice - all sit round in the nuddie!!!!

george32 · 02/08/2005 16:49

PMSL at Starrys image of a body stocking!!
Now that would make for an interesting photo - where would you display it Starry?
Not measured yet but I am feeling HUGE. I'll go & do the deed now.......

george32 · 02/08/2005 17:00

Measured and still 8!! How can that be?? I'm massive this week. Going to have to go on an eating mission tonight.

Just a thought, has anyone heard from Kangel this week? Might have missed her with my rubbish posting & keeping up this week but I hope she is feeling better.
Come back Kangel - it's TP Tuesday

starrynight · 02/08/2005 17:00

In my defense - that is the only kind of body stocking I have ever heard of! (what kind of defense is that??? - tells you more about me than strictly necessary...)

Am thinking of calendar girls in regard to body casting parties - how embarrassing! - You'll be suggesting pg wifeswap next!

dramaqueen72 · 02/08/2005 17:03

ladies!!!!!!!! I am thinking tight vest top and black actually, rather than body stocking.....omg, I cant believe you girls, give you an idea to run with......!!!!!!!
draggin dh to a 'free prize draw and information evening' at the maternity hospital tonight. I ahve no idea whats tis going to be like but wanted to DO something, iykwim, as i dont do anything really thats 'reserved' for pg ladies. knowing my luck it will be crap. still,...
a belly casting party>????????? um, that could make me abit shy.i can just see my belly cast with my jeans and top moulded perfectly.....

dramaqueen72 · 02/08/2005 17:04

my dh would gladly swap me for anyone of you whos not so fiesty and cranky....

starrynight · 02/08/2005 17:05

That's me out then! - (wouldn't they all!)

dramaqueen72 · 02/08/2005 17:06

and my stretch marks are always here, large great crack look things, i so cant wait til they go red and stretch even further. NOT!!

starrynight · 02/08/2005 17:09

Me too - with each pg i've got more and more in the collection. So, also looking forward to that mileston - not.

Anyway, i need to get off bl**dy mumsnet and serve the dinner to the squids.

bonkerz · 02/08/2005 18:07

YOu girls!!!!! Verbal diarrhea i do believe!!

Only bought bottles yesterday cos i intend to breast feed but dont want to be caught out like with ds (my nipples split and couldnt feed for 24 hours and had no bottles or milk in!! happened at 11pm and couldnt find anywhere open!! nightmare) also i have to be back at work by feb and baby will have to be on bottles by then mostly cos cant imagine haveing 4 children under 5 and trying to breast feed all day!!
TP: still the same as last week but i havent lost or gained any weight either!!
Got the all clear today from doctors so my anti biotics have worked and i dont have any infection any more!!!!! fingers crossed it will last!
Have been really tired and got no va va voom!! Have been trying to eat better but am only managing small amounts and not very often either!
Have started taking my pregnacare again cos i havent been able to take them for a few weeks due to sickness! Hope that will help!!
Stretch marks!! Mine from having DS are starting to show again and also noticed small dark hairs growing from them which is slightly scary so no close up piccies of bump for me!! Have bought some avent cream for my tum cos strtch marks craked and bled when pregnant with ds and dont want it happening again!
Names: still stuck on Alex Leigh for a girl but dh has changed his mind for the boy and wants ZAC or RYHS!! dont mind either of them really!!
Have been having a serious think about this birth and think im going to opt for an elective ceasarian!! This is not the easiest decision for me but ds birth was hard work and the fact that i have been booked in for the extra scans to check babies growth suggests this baby will be bigger than ds was. I was close to having and emergency c section with ds and want to be prepared this time. Also hoping i can get them to do it before christmas which when you have a 5 year old and a 4 year old and no family around would be a bonus!!
