    hehe!

    well thank you for answering my bloating question earlier. Still resembling a walking space hopper, but at least its a common symptom!

    Better to be getting some symptoms rather than last time when I had none.

    Have a good rest of evening x

    I'm just enjoying a jolly good kicking.. again... i go to bed when the kicking stops in the hope I am asleep before it starts up again!

    Most people do have me down as first port of call! lol.. I've had emails from old school friends about breastfeeding too, and calls in the middle of the night!.. it amuses me but I am very honoured my opinion/experience is valued.
    I can vouch for this...a few times I've had pigpen's text advice and you're my first port of call with any bf problems!

    Well I went to the Drs and she was lovely and took my BP both sitting and standing, not a significant difference, and asked lots of questions about how I'm sleeping etc. She then said 'how would you feel about me signing you off work for a week?'. So I burst into tears again and said yes please! She thinks the travel is causing me the most probs and will try and help me get some working from home when I'm back at work.

    I feel a bit of a fraud but also v relieved. I have promised to sleep lots and rest lots. I will have to put an hour into an email tomorrow summing up where i'm at with a few bits of work for a colleague but otherwise I can forget about it all until next fri and then the week after I only have 3 days to work. I must email the HR woman though to set up a meeting for next fri to sort my mat leave dates as think I have to do it by 19th.

    Bed now for me, am really feeling movement tonight- wonder if I'm noticing it more as i'm more relaxed!

    I am glad you have got some time off and can rest.. and make sure you do!!! (Says me... did you see what I did ?lol)

    Stuff work.. and bosses and colleagues.. unless they are making your life easier you don't think about them!

    And so long as you know I don't mind answering your questions.. however silly you may think they are!

    Wah, stupid fasting blood tests. I'm so hungry even the cat food is smelling good :(.

    Rach, I'm glad you've been signed off. Don't feel like a fraud, you're growing an entire person from scratch - takes a lot of doing. I reckon your commute alone would knock most people for six, not just a preggo in the summer!

    morning all

    I slept so much better just knowing I didn't have to get up for work. I have just got up to have breakfast and phone work etc then I may go back to bed. I have promised DH and my mum that I actually will rest! Maybe some light tidying, visiting friends next week and a jigsaw or book but that's about it I think.

    thinking of CAFC today.
    forgot to say last night, welcome to Catwoman!

    Morning. Hope we have some bean arrivals soon;) Relax vibes to those who need them:p

    I'm poorly:( Just as I think I may start "blooming" as well!! Spent lots of time in bed yesterday and I'm hoping DH remembers to bring a supply of paracetomal home after work.

    I'm starting to worry about the size of my bump now:o I'll try to get DH to take a pic later. NOTHING fits me:eek: I have some yoga pants and a vest top on at the moment... but the vest top covers about half the bump:rotfl:

    So what happens happens if bean continues to be a lot bigger than he should be???
