Noooo Ceebee, you should be talking to us while "pretending to work", lol!

Actually, I have to admit that DS2 is quite similar to my friends Sam, but not quite to the same extreme.

Ok ladies, I must be crazy, but I have been taking belly pics of myself to document the changes in me and to have a keepsake of my pregnancy (especially as it is my last one - sniff) and I am sooo shocked by the growth spurt baby has had that I have to share, even though the are bare belly (sorry!). I took them lying down as it gives a more accurate idea of how I am growing, rather than getting my bloat and chub in there too, lol! Have a look at my profile (bottom pics), no laughing please, I have lots and lots of "service medals" - ie stretch marks from my other 2

Thanks MJIM!! I nearly fell off my chair when I looked at the pics this morning, I don't feel like there is much to look at when I lie down, obviously there is! Taking the pic isn't too bad, except when the arm holding the camer starts to shake, lol! I tend to lie further away from the mirror and zoom in because if I am too close, then they are out of focus. I actually wish the dh would just take the pic, would be easier.

As for beanie, they do like to worry & scare us! I am glad that beanie liked your lunch My movements aren't consistent enough to miss them when they don't happen. Soon though I am sure.

hi ladies

hm2j - loving the piccies! Bumps must be brilliant! It's really great of you to post them for us to look at! Thanks! Do the ds's notice anyting yet?

MJIM - glad beanie is moving lots and sorry you were worrying. Hope you have relaxed a little since

ceebee - it must be awful waiting and waiting for your scan! Work is never going to take your mind off it! Talk to us instead!

Enjoyed the discussion about the name Sam. It has always been a name I like, and usually children I teach called Sam are very nice! MJIM's hubby sounds lovely as well!

I have had a pretty stressful time since yesterday. The hot water tap in the kitchen got stuck ON full blast! I did what every girl does in a panic....rang my Dad! LOL He has put a temporary valve on so at least we can shower! NIGHTMARE!!!

FF has now decided that I ov'd on Sunday, which works out PERFECT! We managed to do it on ALL the fertile days! YEY! (Send me some good vibes please!)

Well done to HC for getting her BD last night! LOL Hope you caught your eggy!

Woohoo CE!!! You go girl! Your timing sounds fab, I will keep my fingers crossed that you will soon be joining us in "bumpy" land (as my kids call it.)

I am glad that you are ok with me posting belly pics ect. I did think about it first but figured you girls probably wouldn't mind, please tell me if you do, I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.

As for the boys, I don't think they pay that much attention. Connor realises I am getting rounder, but Jamie doesn't, although he talks about the baby and points to my stomach all the time.

loving the piccies HM2J! They are fab - I love to see you all progress with your pregnancies!

CE - sounds like perfect timing for you! fingers crossed! Hope you also get your tap sorted - nightmare!

Ended up going to a friends house this pm which was great as the weather ggot out nice so they could charge around the garden!

MJIM - glad you are feeding beanie something they like!! (or maybe they didn't and was trying to let you know )!!

Did you waste the time work hard then today ceebee?

Off to cook - check back later xx

ChocEclair-timing sounds brill. Lots of positive vibes eh?

Heartmum-I do like looking at bump pics. Last year I kept looking at various bumps videoed on YouTube (along with birth vids ) I am going to take monthly pics this time.

ceebee-how many hours? Wonder how many are in there.

Have spent all day feeling all the pregnancy symptons in the world and convincing myself I am PG-lol! As if I would know the next day.

Waves to everyone else. DH is bowling at the mo-have spent too much on the shopping account (£43 on bird seed) and I know he will not be happy about this. Have also caught the front of the car on my mums bushes and there are some deep scratches. Also, have managed to lose DD1's lunchbox when collecting her from school tonight. Oh, and pulled the clingfilm off the bowl of potatos and have burnt my fingers with the steam from the microwave

just a quick post to say good luck ceebee - I will be thinking of you this morning!!! Hope it all goes well xxxxxxxx

Thanks for all the good luck messages ladies.

MJIM - good luck for you this afternoon - I don't think I will get on MN till this evening now as I have got meetings out of the office for most of the afternoon.

Am feeling really nervous and I just want it to be 9.30 now!!

Will update you all as soon as I can and catch up with all your posts asap.

x

Ooh, ceebee, you will be in the scan now. Hope it goes OK.

MJIM-hope you don't see any bits this afternoon. Lots of luck!

Well, we didn't send any men in last night as planned due to DH having a go at me over money which put me totally off the mood.

Love to all

I hope all went well Ceebee! Darn the meetings stopping you from updating until tonight!

Good luck with your scan MJIM, can't wait to see pics and I too hope you don't catch sight of any bits, ds2 was very obviously wanting to share, lol!

Grrr HC, your dh sounds like he likes to get his knickers in a twist over things at the wrong times. Hmmm, reminds me of my dh somewhat, lol!

My dh was not impressed with me this morning when I refused to get up and iron him a shirt. I had already been up to wee twice and then at 5, dh woke me up to tell me that ds2 was crying. FFS, if he was awake enough to wake me up, why didn't he just go to ds2 himself?! It took me more than an hour to get back to sleep and now I am knackered.

Can't believe how 'pregnant' I feel Think I am slightlu unbalanced still in the psycho department. Looking online if the egg does implant it won't be until at least next Tuesday. Think I am going to drive you all mad

Found DD2's lunch box and DH has polished the scratches out of the car. Fingers still sore and only have £6.48 for next weeks shopping but hey, the sun is out so

MJIM-4.5 hours and counting. ceebee will probably be back at work now. Can't wait to hear how you both got on.

Heartmum-your DH does sound suspiciously like mine. Grrhhh on your behalf and hope you get some rest later-early night perhaps.

Yoo-hoo to everyone else!

DD1's lunch box-doh!

hope your scan went well ceebee xx and that your meetings wern't too stressful - fancy you having to be out of the office rather than coming straight back here to let us know how you and beanie are

HC - we are here to be driven mad we (well at least I do!!) want to know all your symptoms the minute you think you have them!! Glad to hear that you have found lunchbox and scratches are out of the car - grr at dh and his timing though! still by the sounds of it you are pg already lol

Mjim - hoping beanie turns the wrong way so you can see a picture without seeing anything (iyswim!!) I am sure maccyd's won't hurt for a one off - (I had loads with dd as sometimes it was the only thing that would meet my hunger! )

hm2j - is there anyway that you can get a sleep today - sounds like you had a bad night.

CE - hope your tap is fixed soon!

Nothing to report here - cd21 and the days are passing sooooooo slowly. Dilema that I do have though is that I am due first-third day of our holiday. Do I test then or wait until later in the holiday? Only reason having dilema is that if +ve will worry to death as due to previous ectopic will need a early scan, which can't do if on holiday! Aarrgh

Bellie-I would just have to test but MJIM will be along to tell you different. Not long to wait!

Only CD 14 here

Woohoo ladies - things didn't quite go to plan this morning due to having an hour long wait for the midwife therefore I couldn't go and see my friend so I am unexpectedly back home!

Everything was fine - there is a baby in my tummy I am so happy that everything is ok. Baby was asleep but the sonographer poked it a few times and it started stretching etc.

Will try and post photo later on. The due date is exactly as I thought - 26 November.

MJIM - fingers crossed that your baby keeps his/her legs crossed this pm

Sorry to do this selfish post all about me but just thought I would update you whilst I can.

Will catch up later

ceebee-that is fabulous news. Can't wait to see the gorgeous pics.

Good news on the scan Ceebee

Hope all goes well for you mjob - when I had my scan with DS2 he well and truly flashed his bits so there was no denying he was a boy!

HC - hope you caught an eggy!

Hi to everyone else

I'm in a strange mood atm so I'm off for now.

Yay Ceebee!!! I can't wait to see a pic of yor little beanie, I am guessing from your upbeat post there is only 1, lol!

Only 2 hours to go myjob

HC, if it makes you feel any better, with ds2 I was pretty certain I was pregnant by 3dpo. I am still not sure how I knew, I just did and voila, 4 years and 8 months later, here he is, soon to turn 4

LOL Willmouse, ds2 was EXACTLY the same, absolutely not shy, was very eager to show off his boyhood while the woman was measuring his thigh bone, lol! There was NO denying he was ALL boy.

great news ceebee shame that you couldn't see your friend, but glad that it all went well.

Willmouse - anything we can do to help??

Heartmum-yes, I knew with DD2 practically the next day and my mum knew with me and my bro. Never knew with DD1 or the one I MC but what will be will be.

willmouse-don't be a stranger.

Back later for MJIM's news.

HC

ceebee - so happy for you! Sounds like everything went well! You must be happy and relieved that it's done now! Now you can relax!

Hope MJIM will be on soon to tell us how it went! (and hoping beanie kept his/her legs shut! LOL (sorry for not remembering you this morning...)

HC - you can drive us mad all you like! (and you willmouse if there is something the matter). Me myself, I have no idea how I would feel if I had concieved, so am not imagining any symptoms etc! Someone at work did say today though that I looked really happy and 'well' so hoping it might be for all the right reasons!

and Bellie - I would test before hol as well (this was like me when we went to Prague...didn't want disappointment of unexpected AF spoiling holiday, (would rather deal with BFN)

Hello everybody. Glad your scan went well Ceebee.

Have to look at bump photos

I wrote a really long post last night to everyone and the MN site crashed. I cried and now cannot remember what I wrote.

DS being v tearful today and tired, He needs someone to play with and today he asked me for a brother. FET is on , first scan on Monday, hopefully can go to wales for a few days and then come back for FET. CD3 here!

Love to everyone.
