I don't have much information on scruff so hope she sees this to let us know how she is getting on. Also hope I haven't missed anybody off. If so let me know so I can rectify it. If any of you want to add further information such as age, children, etc also let me know.

That sounds like a damn fine book Piglit - can I borrow it?

But of course dear Beansprout.

Is there a section on risk assessment re mils and dsds?

Piglit - A PUPPY!!!! I am so jealous, I want one, I want one. So many people have said I am crazy for wanting a puppy at the same time as having a baby - however I am now going to say that "if Piglit is doing it then so am I"!!

Bean you poor thing, I really sympathize with you, not sleeping is really awful cause your bod is working overtime trying to cook a baby! I swear the little one inside of me put on a whole pound yesterday, the tiredness and stretching feeling was overwhelming, I actually had a little cry when I got home from work I haven't worked up the nerve yet to ask if I can work one day a week from home but I will today and report back.

Think I actually slept through the night last night which is a first! sorry Bean

Counting callories is for skinny people who are paranoid about there weight and not us Mooses!! So in my book you can consume as much food as you like and there aint any calories!! as she scofs down a bag of crisps

By the way Bean - are you cooking for all these people you are having over? I hope not!!

Piglit - what kind of a puppy are you going to get?

I also had a real funny picture of me trying to ride a bike, there is NO way I could balance the extra large bump on a bike!! Good of you to think of it though

Turtle - that's great that you slept through, please don't ever apologise for that! It's not as if your sleeping lead to my insomnia!! Best of luck with the working at home option too, hope that works out.

Have just scoffed a bag of crisps too! I will eat that apple, just not until later...

I want a puppy too, but will have to make do with dp for now.

Sorry me again

Bean have you got lots of compfy pillows in bed with you? or the long mat pillow, it's quite useful for putting between knees and under bump.

I really love the idea of a moose massive doing an en masse bike ride, wobbling around the place and causing all manner of accidents.

No cooking from the Bean tonight. Dp is by the far the best cook in our house. My job is to bloom and get up and down off the sofa while not looking too ridiculous.

I might put out some crisps, but I'll see how I feel

Me again too (!)

Where can I get these long comfy pillows of which you speak?

I think Turtle's calorie rule wins
There'll be enough calorie counting going on after October, so why worry now? I'm pretty certain we'll all snap back into shape within a week or so of giving birth anyway ... I really belive that positive thinking works ... HONEST!

Peter Jones/John Lewis have them, they are also really useful for when the baby FINALLY arrives to support the little bean when breast feeding if you are so inclined or to support the little one when it's old enough to sit up! So very useful indeed

Bibi great attitude but quite frankly .....A WEEK!! I have heard the old phrase "it took 9 months to put it on and will take another 9 months to get it off" she says in her Mother's nagging pitiful tone of voice!! Oh and by the way, the 9 month thing is such a myth - its TEN MONTHS god damit

Okay so a week would require a LOT of positive thinking and maybe a couple of hundred colonic wash out thingies, a spot of lyposuction and a personal trainer. But there's no harm in hoping...

Bean I think the long pillows are available from Blooming Marvellous too

Turtle - I love you and would offer to have your babies, but hey, we are taken. Have just spent 20 mins trying to order one on the net and you have taken me straight to pillow heaven.

Hello from the trough my fellow meeses. Darn - that was good chocolate cake.

Turtle - we're getting a black labrador. I know people think we're mad but who cares?

Hands up ... who scoffed choch-choc last night?

My hand is slowly lifting into air - should I be or ?

No but I had icecream and strawberries - the strawberries at least contributed to my five a day! I am actually going through an icecream stage at the moment, although M&S chocolate brownies are also popular, plus the Danish and hot chocolate for my second breakfast! I just wish my lamb curry would stop repeating on me...

Those pillows are available on the Grobag site as well - somebody said Costco had them cheap! My sleeping problem is getting up to wee all the time...

I am now the proud, happy and relieved owner of one of the cushions from John Lewis. Thanks Turtle . Not like me to be impulsive but boy, what a good buy.

AND walked in and just saw, and knew instantly, the travel system that is right for us!! We had settled on another, but I wasn't quite happy. Hurrah! Not a bad day for a sleep deprived psychopath zzzzzzz

Yes - I bought my long pillow at Costco - including a long pillowcase for £11 (including VAT). They are absolutely fantastic!

Hope you are all well.

Congrats on your pillows ladies, may you have many a comfy night's sleep on them! I got a wedge thing to hold my bump up but it isn't much use if I'm honest. It's nice for when I'm reading in bed, but can't sleep with the thing. No John Lewis in Wales, so may have to check out internet site.
Anyone ese noticed a ergular pattern in baby's movement now? Mine likes to wriggle after (s)he's been fed

Don't want to be boring about this but I can't recommend my cushion highly enough! It allows me to sit up comfortably as well, so even feel like I have my body back - has to be worth a few bob at the moment!!

Dp is feeling threatened as it is now my favourite thing to cuddle in bed, but hey, what can I do? He just isn't quite spongy enough!

What TS did you decide on Bean?
