HOW YOU ALL DOING?

Sorry i've not been around much..I tend to go on the other site as its more active - Sowwee

I do miss you all though so wanted to pop by and see how you all are.

I'm feeling loads better now. The sickness has really died down now and only flares up when i'm hungry and rushing about.
The insomnia has started in the early hours and I end up tossing and turning for hours.

I've still not announced it on FB yet and i'm still scared i'm living in a dream and it'll all get taken away from me I know I shouldn't think like that but its just so hard.
Maybe next week i'll feel much more at ease about it all, I think I need a big slap lol

So who's next to pop? is it Clare? Mandy? Exciting times

Hiya, Clares next then me!

I'm suffering with insomnia too, it's very rare or me to be asleep before 4am at the moment which is driving me insane

Pregnancy wise not feeling too bad, a few aches and twinges, nob pregnancy related I have a rotten cold which is making me feel like complete crap!

Glad the sickness has eased xx

i think u know how i am but thought id reply anyway to say im good! almost in the 3rd trimester! wahoooo! x x

Wow Mandy, i bet your going out of your mind not being able to sleep. I sit there in bed getting really mad with myself cos I start thinking about loads of random shizzle...like Onion soup!!! Dont ask!!!

Lucy, I'm glad things are looking up for you
Final trimester wow..your pregnancy seems to have gone really fast. Are you organised now? Have you got everything for baby? id you go with the sola in the end? I'm still drooling over the denim one. I've seen a 'slight second' on ebay for about £160 ish.

Well i'm nearly into my 2nd trimester now...I can't believe it, so happy
Finally get to tell the world

its been lovely and sunny here today..been at the big park we have near ur all afternoon that has a splash landand train etc..was really good fun! must say my back is paying the price for all the fun i had tho lol.

we have the main things for baby like cot, changing unit and mosis basket left from jamie. and we're pretty sorted for clothes seein as my SIL had a little girl in dec so im pretty much kitted out for up to 3months atm

as for a pram! i realllyy dont know! i keep changing my mind! i do like the sola but don't know if they seem a bit wide? i love the plum one though! probs wil end up with that one!

when u gonna tell family and freinds? how exciting!! x x

I'm a spotty mess lol defo not blooming

Tell me about it Claire. My skin has never been so bad. I've got spots all round my mouth

Lucy.. I was just talking to OH earlier..and it appears most people know lol he's told his close find the other day (we were dreading it cos they've been ttc for about 4+yrswith no luck )
Ive told my mum who has told mg nan and uncle who will have probably gone and told every one else.
i think the only people who don't know are my close girl friends
Oh well, we'll see.

Hopefully the weather supposed to pick up here tomorrow so will be nice to get out.
Looking forward to.the weekend too as mum taking Oliver and Chris and i are going out for a nice meal

Awww zee it's so lovely to see ur ticker getting further and further! What a relief for u all

I'm good, busy as always, I've got 5weeks until I'm finished with my college course and there's a lot to do so I'm swamped.
Lily is all good, making me fatter and fatter, can't believe the difference between boy/girl pregnancy for me!
Just under 9weeks left :S we have everything from Charlie as well, been buying odds and sods clothes wise there's sooooo many cute girly bits I love it

Starting to panic about birth now, with Charlie i was soo excited but this time I'm a little scared. Both my labours were amazing and easy in terms of labour but this time I'm not so confident

Thank you..it is a relief every time I reach another day
Twas a tad confused as wk11 is a lime, wk 12 is a plum...I always thought limes were bigger than plums

Must be lovely to buy girly clothes..there always seems to be so much more on offer for girls.
Why are you feeling uneasy about this birth? I wouldn't worry hun...I'm ure you'll be fine
Are you having her at your local hospital or home?

I was thinking of a home birth this time round as i've been classed as low risk again and Olivers birth was a piece of pi$$
Midwife was really encouraging, or she mentioned a new midwife led untit that'll be opening in August..so I might have a nosy there.

Whats everyone elses plans for birth? Home/hosp etc

I'm next

I'm actually having contractions at moment, but braxton hicks I think, feel sick with each one, every 10 mins but nt fr long.

Little miss is small, womb is large so she as plenty of space too move and that's painful. It's breathtaking and make me crumble at times

I know I could be another 4weeks, but could be any day too.

But I'm glad she's stayed put or Lucas's birthday.

Right bed, as a little moo is waking at night again

i am good to back to the mw on fri they told me i will be getting more bloods and my anti d jab ouch it bloody hurts,
then i will be offically in the third trimester too cannot believe how quick it has gone scary lol
i keep getting loads of big spots too they are painfull but everyone says i am looking good so thats ok lol
glad you are ok zee i am so happy for you, wont be long till you get your big scan date through yay xx

ahh how exciting for you ClareandRuss! fingers crossed it won't be to long! and kell i TOTALLY get what u mean about how different this pregnancy is! with jamie i pretty much sailed through with no complaints (other than gettin bigger..altho i actualy lost weight at the beginning with him) where as with this 1 im in agony with my back already..have put on 17lbs alreay (last time i checked so probs more now) and i dont feel like im blooming at all! where as with jamie people commented all the time on how nice my skin and hair was!

BUT i must say i am so happy about being pregnant that i dont care! its only 9months out of my whole life! x x x

Wow Clare..Exciting I hope she doesn't keep you waiting too long.

Sam - I've already got my 20wks scan date..I got it the day I went for my dating scan. Its 18th July Less than 2mth away

Lucy - thats what I keep telling myself. I'm over the moon to be pregnant so every time I complain about something I remind myself its just a few months and will be so worth it for the reward

I'm trying to drink loads of water to sort these spots out. Past few weeks I've been having mad cravings for sweets and fizzy pop (which I never drink!!) so don't reckon thats helped one bit! so Strawberries and water for me

omg thats exactly what im like and have been since about 12weeks! i just LOVE eating anything fizzt, sour or really sweet! so not good for my teeth but cant resist! lol i think its a girl thing! x x

clare i'm so excited for you! hope little miss behaves for you and you manage to get some rest!

Everytime i wake in the night this lil lady is kicking the hell outta me! always fun!

oh great zee wont be long till it comes round are you going to find out what it is?

so is it you next kell after claire and mandy? x

I most certainly am I can't wait. I would be happy with either if i'm honist..think OH's hoping for another boy (all the lads together lol) and my mums hoping for a girl (cos she thinks thats what I want lol) but I'm really not bothered Just so happy to be doing it all again, I cant wait!! (<<<< Remind me I said that in 6mth please!!)

Hows ever one coping with the hot weather? Mandy I seen your status hun..29oc yesterday its 23oc here and thats bad.

Clare How's you today? anymore signs?

Claire - did you say you were going for another scan with baby daddy? (sorry, can't remember if your together )
Is it a 3d/4d one?

Yeah it's boiling here! I'm ok during the day, as I quite like the sunshine, it's night time that it's bad, had pretty much all the windows open last night and I was still boiling

I think it's Jayne then emvar after me

Hey ladies
Had mw appt yesterday and "she's is very down, isn't she" well yeah Sherlock, feel like she going to pop out when I go to loo lol. But all ok, well that's what she wrote in my notes and yet another mw. I've not seen same one twice yet.
But now on weekly appts

No more signs, but bh getting painful.

Flipping heat not helping

But as anyone discussed birth plan with mw, I'm going to write my own and put it in my book and because I not seen same mw, they can't say it's not been accepted lol

I'm sick of feeling like sh i te cold after cold and chest infections


Yeah i'll be getting a 4d scan around 25 weeks for my birthday wanna double check he's a boy plus i had a 4d with Lilly so in the future i don't want any arguments cos he didn't get 1

And we are not really together i live alone and he comes and visits, usually ends up me throwing him back out because he's being a tit

Aww Claire, men are just idiots at times, I do wonder if it would be easier as a single mom again, the I remember my 6 yrs as a single mom and no thank you, least I eat properly now lol.

Well due date s thursday and she's now 4/5 engaged although the pain last few days I swear she's going to appear by my knees soon lol.

Getting odd tightenings but nowt else, apart from backache, but nesting kicked in and Watson knees scrubbing kitchen floor last night. Russ is off this week to help with it being half term, because I'm a grumpy cow and rich always pushes my buttons.

Right curry for tea, with plan of hot bath and pineapple later, anyone guess what I want at moment lol

Hope it works for you Clare, I've been trying everything to get baby moving but nothing, in had another heavy bleed yesterday so went in to be checked over and my cervix is still high and closed, just having a heavy show :-(

So doesn't look like bubba is coming soon for me. Braxton hicks are starting to get more noticeable and slightly painful now. 12 days to go and I've had enough already!

Hows everyone else?

Glad you got checked out, I think I'd freak if I had a bleed.

And yes my bh are same.

Hope your lo doesn't keep you waiting Hun x

Wow Clare as if you have 3 days till your DD I hope she doesn't keep you waiting..hopefully head down and engaged is a very good sign. Don't they say they dtend to engage at the last min with subsequent pregnancies.
I don't want to tempt fate..but have they said anything about sweeps etc yet?
Hope you don't need them mind

Mandy - I'm so glad you got checked over. Have they said whats causing so much blood then? I would have thought your cervix must be doing something to cause the bleeding. He's a little tinker thats for sure!!
When do you see your MW again?

Claire - good luck with your scan hun.

Semo - If your out there You've got your scan soon havent you?


I don't think I will go for a gender scan at 18wks. I'll wait and see if we get to see anything at the anomaly scan and maybe consider getting one at a later date

She just said it's my cervix getting ready and softening, not seeing mw for another week, I was due for an appt tomorrow but because of the bank holiday they've put it back until next Tuesday. I've resigned myself to the fact he's probably not going to come early. I'm looking forward to the end, bump has definitely dropped down and I'm feeling quite heavy and uncomfy now

I would wait until after your anomaly scan too, hopefully you'll get to find out sex then. Do you have any preference pink or blue?
