Oh, same! I was 7st 10lb at my booking appointment and now I'm just under 9st (as in the needle is somewhere around that point but I can't see quite where without my glasses on! ). Can barely tell I'm pregnant from the front or back. I just have, like OH boss said, a "lump at the front"

I've gone from a size 8 to a size 12 but it's hard to tell and I think that is mostly my mahoosive boobs and the bump. My bum is a bit bigger but not huge at all and I still have a waist at the moment.

People feel compelled to comment - I had a woman tell me my plans to co-sleep were 'making a rod for my own back' and that I should be sticking Bubba in a nursery as soon as possible!

I was quite cross with her and I think you should just get arsy with people and tell them to shut up. nicki's email is excellent and the sort of thing I'd send.

Oh, speaking of cosleeping, did you ever find a crib with a drop side?

I found this one http://www.expressyourselfmums.co.uk/details2.asp/ProductID/237/sid/18/bedside-crib.htm
which I really like. I also found a more modern one http://www.bednest.com/index.php but I wasn;t so keen on the design.

But they are the only ones I've been able to find - it's really hard!

That sounds exciting! We've got a book with the stages and sizes in, so thought I'd just be seeing a small blob rather than arms and things.

I hope those sperm people were paid well. Being shoved down the flume, what next - maybe into the pool for a bit of synchronised swimming :rotfl:

Have a look here to see what you can see each week (if you had a scan each week!) http://www.gehealthcare.com/usen/patient/ultrasound/obtimeline_new.html

It's for professionals and I've found it really useful and interesting.

Thanks for that link - I thought I had it bookmarked but lost it and have been looking for it for ages!

It mentions baby being able to hear loud noises (wk23) - reminded me that the fire alarms set mine off dancing earlier! Best remember that for next week (alarms tested every Mon at 1pm!).

I've run out of ice cream but when OH gets home we are having bananas and custard.
