There's no way you're a 40A Tally, whoever measured you is a nutjob. What was she measuring round for your back size, the middle of your bump??
Brod where's the new house? Ooooh exciting 
Puppy, qaz hope you find your glow....I wouldn't say I'm radiant but I don't feel bad. I just feel normal, but fatter!
I feel like a mean dog parent today, poor Boomdog has been puppyproofed, she's lying next to me now off her head on narcotics and snoring away, but I think when she comes round we're going to have a very sore, annoyed dog!
Nice thing that happened today, was in the supermarket and a little girl was going past with her mum and she pointed at me and said, 'look mummy, that lady's got a baby in her tummy' aaaaaah. I think I might have melted a little bit, have waited a very long time to hear something like that!

boom 
@ the little girl. My friend's 3 year old asked me if 'I had a baby in my tummy' a few weeks ago! Scary seeing as though I'd not 'come out' at the time and her mum definitely didn't know!!! Maybe I'm fatter than I thought haha!

Aw boom and kitty that's warmed my cockles 
the little boy next door told me 'you're going to have a baby' but that was after his mum spotted the bumpette and we were chatting. Can't wait for a proper 'spot'!
The place is in Chapel Allerton - where we said we probably wouldn't live as DH felt weird going back to where he grew up. But the house was so nice, and the area has changed so much he reckons it'll be fine (I wasn't even browsing that area, but he spotted the house and liked the direct neighbourhood).We did debate it for a long time, but he was fairly certain it would be OK. I think he's a bit nervous as he has a whole swathe of extended family he hasn't really known (parents divorced when he was v little) who he might have to consider reconnecting with.
Poor boom dog!

One of my colleagues has one of those "psychic" children, every time i am pregnant she goes "Mam, when is qazxc having her baby?", colleague says "err, she's not having a baby", only to get a disappointed head shake and 
face "ah come on mam".
Another of my colleagues (let's call her sheila) volunteers with special needs children, she was 7 months with her DD.
A liitle boy comes up and says "Sheila, you've got fat!
Sheila: no darling i'm having a baby, it's growing in my tummy.
little boy: EEEEWWWW That's Disgusting!!!! (and then went round telling everyone. )
We were all trying very hard not to laugh out loud.

Morning chaps!
Missed all of Naked Tuesday, was at work... Although am currently wandering around the house in the buff looking for clean socks. Shouldn't leave the husband to do the laundry.
brod ooh Chapel Apple! Not far at all from me, I might have to stalk you!
merk bummer about the SMs. I'm awaiting mine, so far so good but then I'm 'prestretched' from my larger days so already covered in the buggers anyway, a few more here or there will make no difference! Sorry your breathing is still bad, hope the doc can help today.
qaz ooh exciting and what a lovely way to announce! I felt like I'd jinxed us the minute we told people, whoever said pregnancy makes you superstitious was totally right we won't go into my crazy issues relating to magpies and certain songs on the radio
Nothing to report here, having an entirely incident-free pregnancy so far. Still no movements (grrr) and am resigning myself to the idea that I'm unlikely to feel much for most of the pregnancy 
, but on the bright side I've so far avoided all the nasty pregnancy symptoms (haemorrhoids, heartburn, sciatica) that my mummy friends so delight in telling me I'll get! Off to see the consultant today, although think it's still just a routine bp-dopple-wee dip rather than anything exciting.
thunder third trimester! Oh my word!!

17 weeks here! 
only 1 week and 5 days to my Xmas scan!
merk I hope the doc comes up with something today
boom no movement here either. Know it's early days for me but maybe this is the price we pay for symptom free pregnancies?

Hah thunder I'm not sure tempting fate would be a good idea, you know the minute I changed it those haemorrhoids would make an appearance!
Kitty plenty of time for your kitten to start booting you! The reg seemed a bit nonplussed when I said I couldn't feel anything, I could see her wanting to tick the 'fetal movements felt' box and I went and spoilt it
