Hey all,
I`m still hanging about online, just checking out the latest council houses that I can bid on but they are all totally unsuitible. Studio flats indeed.....boo!
OH has just been sent out to nab some edam and colslaw from Aldi because I have a jacket potato fetish. I do love him bless, if I even hint at a craving he's chucking his shoes on ready to run get it for me.
I`m sooooo jealous of your bump picture, its so cute and round. Do you want to swap and have my non exsistant one and morning sickness??? Just for a few hours???

So how do you know the difference between wanting something and a craving??

Fishcake I had a bump at 12 weeks so you may well have! I have now started to outgrow my clothes too! (But I don't mind, I'm loving having a bump!)

oops sorry Glam, not sure why i thought it was a planned c/s :eek:

Anyone want to hazard a guess is it a girl bump or a boy bump??
I keep getting told by random strangers and work colleagues it's a boy but I thought boy bumps were meant to be lower and neater, mine is just freaking huge. Doesn't help that I'm not even five foot tall so guess only way for baby to grow is outwards!!
Thank you all for your kind comments but up close my bump is covered in hundreds of (thankfully silver) stretch marks and only looks toned cos my skin is stretched like a drum! Had a scan today as well and baby measuring big 1300 grammes, think thats about 2lb 8oz (that can't be right can it?)

Fishcake put a piccie up bet you do have a little bump, I certainly did at around 12 weeks so not uncommon at all!! Thanks for the kind offer but you can keep the ms lol.

Pookie i have been told all the way through i was having a boy when people tried to guess apparntly we carry boys all up front like we have a football stuck to our fronts where as girls tend to spread so we look preganant from the back as well. Its all old wives tales i think but it has seemed to be the case with all of mine. If i had to guess i would say its a boy as you seem very slim everywhere else you just have a lovely bump :-)

Your not the only one, i thought glam was having a planned c/s too. I was just going to ask her if there was any leeway in the dates for planned c/s as i am due 19th dec but the hospital has told me that they do them later now than they used to so it will prob only be a week before due date but as my due date is a sat they will do it on the 11th. I don't mind the 12th so much it is father in laws bday but the 11th is my nieces 1st bday and i really don't want them to share the same bday. Sister in law will hate me enough if i can't make her party let alone if the baby is born on the same day. I want my baby to have it's own special day not shared with niece.

still here!!
Just googling some stuff as OH has a nasty cold sore on his top lip and it's really dangerous if newborns catch it. I've got a history of genital herpes so need to make sure I don't catch it otherwise I will need a section!!
Think I will do my own perineum massage just to make sure he's not got the virus on his fingers and passes it on.

(why is my foof all itchy just thinking about it? )

Elasti - they just took a diary out and said 'How about the 10th?' - I said 'Any chance of the 9th?' and they said 'No, it's full'. But I probably could have had the 11th if I was 'busy' on the 10th for whatever reason :rotfl:

xmas - I added Chasing Butterflies on for 2nd Sept as she wasn't on the list.
