Thing is, I don't feel that fat. Maybe I'm in denial!

BMI is not infallible and other factors should be taken into consideration - a lot of professional rugby players are technically obese according to their BMI even though they are nothing but muscle and sinew (oo yum - I married one:j )

Don't worry - I've taken the view that so long as by Bean has a place to sleep, clothes to keep decent and warm and a place to sleep anything else can come later. As for the buggy - just think of those January sales you can take advantage of...

Got sleep on the brain??

Anyone looking for a maclaren, keep an eye on the boots website. They are offering % off, plus loads of extra points. The techno is currently out of stock, but worked out at about £65 (after points) which is a bargain

Mines 44... I feel fat sometimes... Not particularly bothered by it though... and I think I'm healthier than some people a lot thinner than me...

I think my hubby is more in denial than I am though, he refuses to believe I'm obese... Just says I'm a bit padded...

Jeez ladies - been out for the day and it has taken me over an hour to catch up!!

A few thoughts (I didn't take notes today)

skinty and anyone else with a scan coming up - plan a really, really busy weekend before you go. My 12 week was a Monday and we had a FULL weekend of activities planned...I didn't even get time to worry until the Sunday night and I was so tired that I just went to sleep anyway...

Sami - thank you for the cushion. My coccyx isn't too bad these days but it sounds like sparkle might need it.

Whoever it was who said they were really big - me too...I get asked if there is only one all the time. Today I was asked if I needed help to get up the stairs on site...I still have 3 months to go :eek:


I had a call from the docs today. Apparently my full blood count is low so I need to go and see the doc. First appointment is 8.40am Friday morning.... any idea if this is just anaemia or something more sinister. I have been so distracted since I got the call I don't know what to do with myself.

I have booked a 4d scan for 15th December :T :T YAY!

The hospital left a message on the answerphone saying that I had an appointment but hubby inadvertantly deleted it...he thinks it was for the 29th December (which is Bank Holiday Monday?) but not sure if it is for physio or something else I am seeing the MW next Wed so I am hoping that she has something written in my notes.


Other than that - I chaired a meeting on site today with bubba kicking lumps out of me the whole way through...little monkey!!


Feelie - can you go swimming? You can't do breaststroke legs but you can bob around and exercise that way?

Aye - too much loving and not enough snoozing.:p

I meant to say something to get around in...

That makes me feel quite a lot better

You look normal at 38, so hopefully I'm not some huge wobbly monster at 45.

Just need to grow a few inches taller, that might be easier than losing a couple of stone!

Oh, and I was just wondering how Pollyanna got on? She was due in October wasn't she? Hope all is well with her and DD

I was wondering the same thing sb!

Hospital bag: most useful thing was a flannel, I used it to mop my (literally) fevered brow! I also wish I'd remembered the frozen bottles of water I'd got ready and that I'd be able to make some sandwiches for Himself (who refused to leave me to go and eat) and for me post-birth!
