    Hello all :hello:

    Thanks for the lovely welcomes last week. I don't know how I'll keep up with you all, I don't come on the computer very often at the mo and it's taken me ages to catch up!

    Congratulations to EA and Guinea!!:T:T:T:T:T Lily is gorgeous!
    Huge labour vibes to all in need, Kindof, Gymfiend, Fishcake.
    Somnium - hope all goes smoothly and quickly tomorrow.
    Luce - fab news on the new car!
    Smartie - we have similar due dates, rubbish that you didn't get to see baby properly, hope it will all be much better next time.

    Happy Mothers Day to all you mums and mums-to-be! I got 2 mum-to-be cards from OH's mum and aunty, how sweet! Just been to my parents to spend some time with mum on mothers day, they moved to only 20 mins away last year when previously they were 2 1/2 hours away so it's lovely to be able to pop round.

    I told everyone at work last week about the pregnancy, it was great, and such a relief to be able to talk openly about it. Loads of people said they had guessed though so there's not much point trying to keep things secret in our office. I also found out that another lady who works in a different part of the building is pg and due 2 weeks before me, so I have a pregnancy buddy at work which is nice.

    I'm getting very annoyed with sky player. Last week I didn't record 24 and thought it would be ok as I can watch it on sky player - but it's got half way through and is stuck grrrr. And this is the third time I've tried so I guess it's a lost cause.

    Welcome Gena! How far along are you?

    Had a phone call off MIL tonight, apparently she's already started knitting, she's basically made an outfit; hat, cardigan, mittens, and booties!! Very sweet. Just need to pick her up some more wool as she hasnt got transport to get out.

    Has anyone got anyone making stuff for them or making stuff themselves? I've always been quite an arty person, but I cannot knit or barely sew! I would love to make something for the baby, anyone have any suggestions on easy ways to learn?!!?:eek:

    Hi Kitkat, sorry I can't help, I'm not creative at all! Any sewing that needs doing properly and I can't just fudge I take to my mum, shame I didn't inherit her many talents!!

    I'm now 14 +3, the early symptoms are slowly fading but I still seem to tire easily. On which note I really must be off to bed, hoping I sleep well as lately I've not slept great, especially on sunday nights (and I'm sure expecting a bad night's sleep isn't a good start!).

    Here's my bump pic at 33 weeks.

    Don't feel like I've grown much but it does look quite a bit bigger than my 28 week pic when I look at them together - yay :)

    Yup, I'm more Glam's size.

    Oww oww oww the baby movements. I think he's re-arranging himself, my belly looks like a stormy sea and it's not terribly pleasant. Can't complain though, obviously. But oww. Where's the camera when you need it.

    I managed to sleep from 8.30pm to 11.30pm :T:T:T:T:T So happy, I know it doesnt sound like a lot but it is for me lol, I now have pains in my back and period pains (but I am not getting my hopes up lol, just going with the flow)

    We figured out if we jam me in the bed with lots of pillows etc I can sleep lol

    I am in such a happy mood for it being nearly midnight and I am awake, I dont know why lol

    Awww I can hear our hamster running around his cage :)
