Hello ladies and bumps!

Thank you for an amazing birth story feeling!

Hope everyone is well today. Wishing labour vibes to anyone who wants/needs them.

Re: Birthdays.... Mine is 18/05, baby is due 22/05, OH is 27/06,MIL is 26/07, FIL 04/04, my mum 09/04, my dad 02/09, my brother 17/10, my uncle 06/08, my nan 02/05, my gramps 03/02.

Our family is just spread out the year, so pretty much it is a case of each month there is at least 1 birthday and thats just the close family!:D

Re: Weight... I am keeping track of mine in my sig as I started at 22stone, went down to 19st8 then accidentally got pregnant despite being on the pill, so am keeping tabs on how much I put on, and after baby I can find out how much is me pigging out and how much is baby related weight

Guess who got their HiPG this morning... Been a long time since I've not been over drawn this close to the end of the month

Have the crappy midwife coming round this morning to 'discuss my birth plan' as long as she's not patronising to me... Or I might have to say something... Also got to drop a sample off at the Drs for Aimee... And rescue a new pot seeing as I used mine for the midwife to put hers in... Ho hum... Least I have a lift from a friend this morning, no worrying about trekking back up the blooming hill...

Morning everyone

Well, after falling asleep during 2nd half of Man U v Everton, I still went straight to asleep at 11pm but seemed to be wide awake at around 6am. Not very happy as I like my sleep!

Guess what?!! Work have agreed I can carry 4 week holiday over from 09/10 into 10/11 so that I can tag it onto my maternity leave! Woohoo - dead chuffed as I was sure they would say No.

Have been told I look bigger than another pg lady in another office who is 22 weeks - am hoping it's fluid or something! I don't wanna big baby cos I am only little - 5' 1".

Back to work - can't believe I'm working and the weather is soooooooo nice!!!

... Btw, I'm trying to think of a thankyou gift for my Dad for doing so much work for us. There's nothing specific he wants and I can't spend too much cost he'll want me to spend my money on the house/baby/paying him back! Any suggestions anyone? It could wait until after baby is born so could be something personalised for "Grandad" too..

My dad is THE hardest person to buy for EVER we get him a yearly subscription for his birthday (and he says he's quite happy to get that for every birthday until he's too senile to read it ) and Christmas is always a pair of novelty slippers - although the choice is far more limited these days

Does he like any spirits? a bottle of JD or nice Scotch usually goes down well with dads and Granddads or as he sounds quite handy is there some kind of snazzy tool you could get him? HTH xx

elle if you wait until bubs is here what about a hand/footprint or one of the bronze casts they are sooo lovely??

Glam - you're bump will most likely look bigger because you're small IYSWIM Bump size doesn't generally indicate baby size

Well I managed a half decent nights sleep last night - still feeling a little pooped but I'm getting cheered up by the forecast of sunny weather and 17 degrees
Can't believe I'm now less than 4 weeks from my due date... it's quite scary! On the one hand I want her out ASAP so I can move again and meet her - and on the other I want to pretend that I'm not pregnant at all and there will be no painful birth, no lifechanging event and life will magically return to normal and I've only imagined all this :rotfl:

Interestingly my nipples are quite sore again at the moment (added to the entertaining leakage last night...) which is annoying - it's not a skin sore but more like a bruised sore so it's not because they have rubbed against anything etc...
I also keep getting pins and needles in my arms and hands from the slightest pressure when I'm in bed which is really annoying usually goes away as soon as I move again and shake the offending limb but it is irritating... anyone else get that?

Hmmmm guess I should get out of my night shirty thing... *yawn*... maybe even have a quick wake up shower? Hmmm

The talk of cross trainers and weight gain prompted me to get back on the wii fit for the first time in 58 days, as it was pleased to remind me! I've gained 13 pounds since the start of the pregnancy (now 16+3), and only managed 14 minutes of fairly gentle exercise (I steered clear of anything which needed me to use my abs, or might cause me to hyper-extend muscles). Now feeling shattered, Oh dear!

hee hee Tine I'm the opposite with pins n needles; if I move my arm quickly or shake it like if I wave its like I get stabbed all over my hand much worse when my hands are swollen which is starting earlier and earlier each day esp with this 'hot' weather (was 21 degC here yesterday according to my car)
OH finds it most funny when I lie in bed with my arms stuck up like a zombie
