So far yes, but due to a small problem with the placenta (high pressure in the blood flow from me to the placenta) and the 'raised' BP along with the history of PE, she needs a scan to ensure she is growing as she should. She is smaller than the boys were (on the charts) so I think she takes her height genes from my parents, my Dad is 5ft6inch and my wee mommee is only 5ft3inch. My brother is 5ft7inch and I'm 5ft5inch. The boys are like their Dad, tall.

Will get a scan now and more afterwards, but that is growth and to check on the placenta. You may find you get another about 34-36 weeks.

I'm 33/34 weeks now depending on which date I use. Maybe I will get another at 36.

Greent he is lovely!!! And doesn't look that small either. Big brothers and sister look very happy too.

Skinty, usually they leave 4 weeks between, but it depends on what if anything shows up on the scans. What I will say is don't expect to see anything on the screen, baby is too big to fit now so you only see parts. I still think you will be fine though. Your bump looked neat, but solid, bet the lo is just a contortionist!

Gosh we'll be getting close then!

Bump is definitely all baby - there's no looseness at all and I'm pretty sure it's just lying funny which is why the FH isn;t quite right, but even so it is only just under what they 'allow' so I don;t think there's cause for major panic yet.

I am soooo tired! Was going to do some weeding before it rains but might just go and lie down instead. Can;t believe how exhausted I am.

Ooh - cot arrived today but have to wait for OH to come home ot put it up. this was my Plan B cot after Boots said they didn;t have any of the original one, and now they've phoned to say it will be back in stock next week and still in the promotion! What to do? send this one back or just keep it?

Original cot: £180 in promotion http://www.laceysonline.co.uk/media/catalog/product/cache/1/image/5e06319eda06f020e43594a9c230972d/c/l/close-to-me-lg-1.jpg

PLan B cot: £130 for display model with small scratch on inside of leg http://www.mybabygoods.co.uk/cosatto-olivia-bedside-cot.jpg

They are virtually the same but I don't know which I prefer any more!

Thanks Glam, that site looks pretty good.
I'll be returning to work mid March if all goes according to plan as I get 10 weeks full pay and 10 weeks half pay which means I will be struggling from Xmas to easter but am determined to have as much time at home as I can with my little girl. I wish I could afford to go on a bit further and get the £123 per week but that won't even cover the interest on the mortgage and I'm guessing that little'un would probably like mummy to keep a roof over her head!!!

harley, do you know how much tax credits you are going to get yet?

skinty, I actually prefer the 2nd cot !!

tiamai_d

Skinty.... I like the first one better too Looks less fussy than the other one (I like plain and simple) and it's only £40... you are having more babies right? So you woudl keep it and then it would be an investment....

Apparently £130 but that is for child care I think. The child care is £180 so still need to find £50 per week. I'm not sure that I'll get this until I go back to work, should have thought to ask if I am entitled to anything whilst on ML. I'm planning on asking to reduce to 4 days per week when I go back, which will save me a bit but it seems that our bosses are trying to reduce the amount of part timers we have and have turned down all the requests I know of in the last year.

Skinty, I prefer the 2nd bed too.

You will have the child benefit too harley, would that not cover the £50?
