    does anyone else suffer from bad circulation, since being pregnant i keep waking up with pins and needles in my fingers? just wondering if its related cant find much in the book i got from midwife.

    The computer is doing my head in, keeps eating my posts half way through :mad: Will try to recap:

    DP hope you have a lovely week off - sure it'll be great especially seeing your parents :j

    CAFC fairly sure 24 weeks is viable, so you can celebrate v soon :T

    Nikkit I hope you're in Bedford in labour as I type :D

    Courgette I'm in the moderation camp too, had a few drinks and plenty of things on the 'not approved' list whilst preg, figure that plenty of people don't ever know they're pregnant and are ok so the odd bit of what you fancy can't hurt :D Dying to have a proper drink though...we've got a babysitter lined up for my birthday a couple of weeks after he's due so provided he's not too late I'll be able to have a few then :j:j

    Som - no not nursing bra's, I'm not 100% sure on breastfeeding yet so figured I might aswell wait and see on those. Went to George @ Asda & got a plain one for a bargain £4 to tide me over for now though, in a horrifying 36f :eek: We were joking about how massive it looked in the shop, I thought I could grow into it, turns out it only just fits now, eek :eek: Where are you off for dinner tonight? Hope you have a lovely evening, x Mentioned your baby girls name to OH as I was so taken with it, he really loved it too (gone on the mental list of potential names should we ever have number 2!!) :o

    :j for scan date Smartie, it's not too long :D I never really bought maternity clothes so can't comment too much on what's best particularly under/over bump, but I have found long vests/jersey dresses a godsend, as they look & fit ok however big you are - ASOS is good for them.

    I can sympathise with the wanting to do your house up Kindof - we had a backboiler, pink bathroom suite from the 60s and the original 60s kitchen when we moved into our house :eek: I love doing houses up though, we've gutted ours and done it totally, can't wait to do the next one. Hope the pizza making goes well, we used to make them with dad when we were kids, not done it for yeeeeears now though, might try it this week :D V impressed by your meal planning :T

    Had a lovely day but now absolutely exhausted - had Nando's in the end, yum yum :D Picked up some photo frames for babies room and dropped off our pics to be scanned and copied, got baby a dog print sleepsuit from Next (poor thing!), some socks & a giraffe toy :D His nursery is starting to look finished now which is lovely :T Now, debating on the subject of tea - thai curry or pizza, dunno what to have!
    Baby Boy arrived March 25th 2010 - 17 days late & 8lb 10oz :j

    Oooh Nando's is sooo good and cheap!

    Me and OH usually spend £20 for us both there :D
    I cant handle spicy food though so i have lemon and herb flavouring :D

    How did you make your pizza base?
    Our kitchen is always cold so the whole rising thing in the warmth doesn't work as well for me lol.
    Also we dont have a rolling pin, last time i used an oust can! :D

  • I got a two pack of nursing bras for £10 in Matalan today so might be worth getting measured somewhere then checking if Matalan have your size :money:, in case anyone's looking for them.

    Everyone loves their Mum's roasts best! I hope Henry loves my roast the best when he's older :).
