    elle im generally not a big spender on clothes i usually wait til say a birthday then my OH usually take me out and we spend the day clothes shopping while DD is either at school or her aunts... havent done it awhile just picked up a cheap top or jean from primark when i started to get a little bump (but thats it really) o i had to buy a hoodie from new look the other week as i was walking to work realised that it just didnt cover me good job they got 20% off for students (no longer a student... for now.. but student card still valid) ... primark stuff isnt my style at the moment to girlie im a black top or hoodie and jeans type of women :D ... my bump isnt big enough for maternity but isnt small enough to fit in my normal clothes grrrrr x

    I know that feeling! :) Getting that way myself..

    What about those bump band thingies? Might bridge the gap in the meantime.

    morning everyone :hello:
    hope everyone is keeping well
    comgrats to those who have just had their babies!!

    came home from work to find a letter from the antenatal clinic with my first scan appointment!! :D
    DH not best pleased as its March 17 (st pats day) as we usually go out all day (i'm the irish one not him) but its 1st thing in morning so not too bad!! am looking forward to it as i think that when i see and hear the baby i really will feel like i'm pregnant!!

    starting to feel a bit nauseous when i first get up. and feel lightheaded but this maybe the new tabs i am on.

    re-names...
    [STRIKE]I [/STRIKE] we have always said Niamh or Ciara for a girl but have no boys names at all!!
    but now i'm finally pg am thinking of all new names as well.
    very hard to pick a name!!

    ooh you did well to hold back I never let OH see cars until I've narrowed it down to a couple he gets dazzled and wants the shiniest one their :rotfl:

    I think OH might have prefered me to do that. The only help I offered was telling him if I was comfy or not! Way I see it, he is the one that drives it, and he is the one that earns the money to pay for it, so I really don't want to influence his choice too much! Naughty BMW man got nearly twice as much out of us than OH was originally thinking :eek:

    I like Fionn and Conor for boys. Niamh is gorgeous, but if you're not in Ireland will people know how to pronounce it?

    We have a boy's name already (it's a family name) and a girl's name, but no middle names yet. And we're not telling anyone either name until the beastie's safely out because we have legitimate reasons for each name and don't want anyone finding it appropriate to pass negative judgements. For the foreseeable future, the contents of my bump will remain Bellyfrog.


    I have a small but definite bump, and already people are finding it totally acceptable to manhandle it! One of my friends was really rough, as though it was a melon she was testing for ripeness! I grabbed her b00b and told her to stop or I'd touch her inappropriately. She did it again. I put my hand in her crotch.

    Hopefully this will keep everyone away once word spreads!
