Morning everyone

Re sizes I feel like I look like I've eaten too many pies, think I should get a t-shirt saying I'm pregnant not eaten too many pies, but according to the docs my bump is on track. Also is odd that before I was pregnant I was a size 14 but in maternity clothes 14s swamp me and have gone down a size.

KitKat I am going for the maxi cosi streety travel system which faces us and away. Also comes with a car seat that you can put into the chassis. In addition it is lightweight and folds down really small (advantage if your car is small).

Tinkwings the whole world knows it's a boy as we thought if we found out then I didn't think we could keep it to ourselves.

MERFE

tinks I'm living in leggings and long tops or one pair of maternity jeans I have that seem quite small and I dont think will stretch quite enough to last till dec. The rest of my maternity trousers just fall down on me lol

I'm sure you'll find some nice dresses or similar to wear to the weddings x

My bumps really showing but his is no 3 and apparently you show sooner.
I am going fo the maclaren techno xlr and buying the carry cot that goes with it, as i inevitably end up buying a maclaren pushchair at 6 mths when i get fed up with the big pram so this is a good compromise.
You can also buy a car seat that fits onto the chassis to turn it into a travel system

if you like that one you'll love this..... again worried why she's naked yet covering up baby?!?!! lol

can't help on the pram front..sorry, I'm just as clueless:p

Lol Fuzz at the smiley!! Glad im not the only clueless one, everyone seems to know exactly what to go for but I am unsure oooh BTW going by my friends theory on bump shapes.. I predict a boy for you... hehe

Delain; thanks I will check out the jane slalom pro, I have heard they are good.

Xmas; I think you look really good! I would feel like an a whale wearing anything that skimpy, but your bump looks really good

The Next Verse; I have already looked at the silvercross and was quite keen on it, my mum had a silvercross so was keen too. I find the car seat is abit dear but I do like the 'pramette' style also silvercrosses also have a slight traditional look to them which I do like.

Bigbird; thanks for that, I changed my car as my old one was unreliable and smaller, but didnt wana buy a mini bus so just went for an Astra, the boot is probably about the same as a Golf (oooh I would love a Golf!) so thats good to know a pram will actually fit!

Sir Monster; Thankyou, I will also check that one out, I just cannot decide.. maybe i need to go for some pram test drives this weekend ooooh OH will be so pleased... !!

Yay for bump pic Fuzz:D

I'm looking like I'm 9 months pregnant today. I seriously have no tops that cover bump so my tummy is on show to the world:eek::rotfl:

I was up bright an early and was the first one at the doctors and I couldn't make it home after so had to go to the newsagent to get chocolate to help me home! I bet when people saw me eating it at 8.40am they knew why I was looking so big!!:o:rotfl:

I'm a 12/14... and still am:p I've only put weight in tummy area because of bump:)

I'm looking for a nice maternity dress to where during this lovely weather but have been really disappointed by what I've seen:(

Have you tried maxi dresses???? they cover bumps beautifully:) I got mine from peacocks and really can't fault it, I got a size 14 instead of 12 just so I can use it more than a few times and as it's not maternity I can use it next year too:money: thats the one I've got! Am wearing to wedding this weekend so may even post pics if I look as fab as I feel in it:p:D

Xmas loving the bump pic:) your bump in that one is pure bump, doesn't look like you put weight on anywhere else! I'm sure you'll get back into those shorts and corset no problem:D You actually seem a similar size & shape to me, although I think I'm a bit 'hippier':o:)

**confuzzled**

oh KK been to the docs and got prescribed lactulose like the other said:) Also got given some cream(anusol:o) to help with the soreness after movements, apparently it's the number 2 causing little cuts in the back passage which in turn causes the blood...not sure if you wanted to know that but I like things explained to me and assume everyone else does too:o:p:D

I tried on a maxi dress in new look and I looked like a beached whale!

They've got a black jersey halterneck one which looked nice, but the patterned one was just a disaster :rotfl:

Prams: We've bought ours (only because it was a bargain in Mothercare and I had a voucher to use up) we went for Silver Cross Linear. It's quite a bulky one so no good if you have a small car or plan on going everywhere on the bus, but we do a lot of walking so will use ours "off roading". OH was laughing at me trying them all out he said he thought I was going to try sitting in them all :rotfl::rotfl:I just wanted to make sure they were cosy and comfy

Picking up on the pets thread - I'm also going to post this in the pet section:
I have 2 cats, 1 a year and the other 9 months. Both lovely natured and playful and friendly. Recently, the one yo has gone very moody. Now, we went away last month and put them in cattery for a week and during that time she scratched the other's eye. We put this down to stress of being cramped together for a week as they usually love each other. We then brought them back, but sue to having building work done we've had to come to OH's old house a few miles away - they've been here before overnight but this isn't their home. For the first week both were fine and normal. After a week, Mitten has become quite withdrawn. I thought she was maybe ill but she is eating and drinking - a little less than normal but she was fat anyway. She will still let you pick her up, tickle her tummy etc and is still "nice" but isn't playful anymore and just seems to sleep all day. I've had cats before and never seen this behaviour before. This week she's hurt the kitten again - I'm assuming he's got on her nerves and she's given him a smack. I don't want to take her to the vet as she's not actually ill. I've bought a feliway that we used when we got the kitten but it's only been plugged in a few days so waiting to see if that perks her up.
So, I'm thinking:
It's the move
It's because I'm 23 weeks pregnant (can she tell?)
She's too hot as she's black and long haired
It's just her adolescence
A combination?
Sorry for the long post!
