Hi ladies, sorry to have been gone so long, both mine and dh's families decided to descend upon us within 2 weeks, so its been a bit busy and no time for lurking. Last people went today, so I am here with my laptop 
Hope you all enjoyed the sunshine, and all those with little birthdays had a good time.
Thanks for all the lovely comments on my bump, although radiant and blooming I definitely do not feel!
Feeling a bit sorry for myself atm, have been suffering with a pain in my leg all weekend and have been having lots of nosebleeds. Had a midwife appointment today so mentioned it to her, she says its likely to be sciatica and can't do anything for it 
and nosebleeds are par for the course... Throw in the existing back pain and headaches, and see why I'm a grumpy arse these days lol. I wouldn't change a thing, and I'd put up with it all forever if it means our little man arrives safely, but its bloody hard sometimes. I remember when I used to think I wouldn't ever complain, and I'd have given my right arm to even be pregnant, so I am still truly grateful for even being allowed to experience all this, the bad along with the good. On the plus side, his little heartbeat was strong, and I'm measuring fine, and I got my MAT B1 form - was a bit excited about that, I'm officially having a baby!
Oh and most importantly, today I am 24 weeks a bit 
as to how we got here at all! And they said we wouldn't conceive naturally....
Hope everyone's ok, hugs all round if anyone needs them.
