how are you all keeping ?

4 months to go and im starting to get sick of the how long left question

m/w tomorrow for routine check up then glucose test thingy in feb

have a very active little man in my belly , was laying on my back last night and Oh was trying to feel baby but couldn't find him ( even i couldn't find him )so i'm hoping that although i'm huge he is tiny and it all water , if he was a big baby surely OH would have felt at least part of him ?
still debating over a name ,i fear we will still be debating when he is a month old lol !!
also very indecisive about a pram ,i want one i will actually use for duration and not sell and replace so gotta find something both forward and rear facing , i'm really liking the lime or mandarin m&p skate
i have not had any cravings as such that make me want something all the time , i did go through a man n cheese thing for a while , i never eat cereal but starting eatin crunchy nut cornflakes every 1 or 2 days . last night i had a right hankering for cider , i hate cider but i had a small glass of magners with OH and tbh it was lovely !

so how is everyone doing ?

Well the blooming stage seems to have avoided me again, my skin is awful, like a spotty teenager, although my hair is nice and thick and shiny at the mo.

I'm suffering with headaches and have strange pains in my left buttock which I'm hoping is not sciatica again.

Getting fed up with people aking me if we know what we're having, even random people, I feel like saying bog off it's none of your business !

Bet you wish you hadn't asked now, lol

(*whispers* sooooolaaaaaaaaa buy the sooooooooooollllllllllllaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa)

my response to how are you doing.....urgh!!!

i love being pregnant, i really do, and i'm even getting a bump now, it's actually getting noticeable(although i wear baggy hoodies so no-one sees it lol!) but i am SO SO sore it's unreal
managed to do a 4mile run, mixed with a lil walking, bit like intervals, flat out run and then a 1min walk...and now i'm so sore it's unreal...sam reckons spd
squishy is kicking away like a trooper, sam has been able to feel and see 'it' moving since 20weeks, so it's nice when the kids settle and we can have 10mins to just relax and play with squishy
we went looking at prams today and have absolutely NO idea what to get, i still love the stokke but at over £800 it's just not practical

hi i am good just over 8 weeks now so not long till booking in etc but keeping fine went off meat it makes me cringe but no sickness so thats good, and nothing else to complain about, did you girls just book in with the mw or got to the docs first ? i havnt done ether yet didnt want to do it too early incase something happened,

i will just be using finlays pram as it was hardy used and is in brilliant condition plus i still love it lol

i just called up and said i wanted a first appointment with the mw, not sure they even bother going through the drs anymore

had my first night of 'can't sleep cos my back hurts' lastnight....not fun! probably my own fault for doing a 4mile jog and then a 3mile walk! lol

GET THIS BABY OUTTA ME! that is all......

Lol Leanne!

Im 12 weeks today got my scan on Friday which I'm very excited about!!
I went to my doctor first because they then had to refer me to the midwife, saw the midwife at about 8/9 weeks so I'd say call the surgery and get booked in!

This pregnancy has been horrible so far! I've been so nauseous almost all the time it's horrible, it's completely put me off being pregnant again! I'm hoping it's a girl sign because I had no sickness what so ever with the boys.
I'm not really showing yet but that's fine because I've not told work yet! I'm scared!

My eating is so random! Sometimes I'm ok and can eat quite normal, others I feel too ill but I have to try otherwise I feel worse! And sometimes I need to eat almost continually to stop feeling horrible! It's lovely lol!
I brought a Doppler but haven't found a hb yet, but I can hear baby moving around so I'm ok with that!

i am at work today in the hospital so might pop round and see what they say lol

lol leanne

Well I'm 19 weeks today, I must change my ticker. And I feel ok, getting some flutters although russ not felt it yet. I've got 20wk scan on 24th jan and sex scan on 11th feb.

I'm also getting fed up off the do you know what you having and told work I'm not telling them lol,

Lucas and rich are patting my belly which is sweet and I'm def smaller than I was with Lucas at this point. I'm not craving anything but having some spd pain.

But I'm in agony with my knee I've twisted in bed getting out or Lucas other night, now it hurts if I move it

But I love ring pg and a bit sad this is my last

Well, all going ok. Little man keeps poking and kicking at me which actually i quite like. Not so keen on the head under the ribs but sure he'll move round some time soon.

Sophia is DESPERATE for her little brother to come now bless her. ITs so long for a little one to wait! She has been a real cutie. We had a bath together the other day and she put a wet flannel on my tummy and said 'for baby, keep him warm' and poured water on my tummy coz he 'liked that too' and gave my bump a little cuddle and kiss. SOOOO cute!

No cravings or change in appetite at all this time. And i seemed to have missed the blooming stage this time too, just a spotty mess! LOL Got 28 week app on thursday.

Emotionally been a bit up and down with dave's step dad here indefinitely, pressures of work and trying to complete my teaching course before the baby comes. But think am sorting it out now, had big cry on dave yesterday and also shared how was feeling at work so changing my job role and have decide to defer last teaching mod till next year. Just cant do it now!

Seem to be more down this pregnancy than i was with Sophia, which does worry me a little as really dont wanna go through pnd but also think its just harder this time coz of a demanding 2 year old, so sure will be fine fingers crossed. am a bit of an over thinker/worrier so ignore the wittering. LOL

Glad all are well, Hope it isnt SPD mrs cruise and hope not sciatica Mandy. And LOL leanne!

Lotsa love to all

Mandy xx
