    Thanks MV, think I am getting braver in asking maybe in my mind people should be offering!!

    Wow at the bump Xmas I'm nearly 29 weeks and no way near that size but is my first, I think in the last week or so I feel I have a proper pregnancy bump, not just like I've eaten too many pies. I keep meaning to rub in my moisturiser but keep forgetting!

    not long now then MV. I do think you seem a bit more confident than you were last week and next week you'll be able to really relax x

    My stretch marks are a few at the tops of my thighs, one by my belly button and the rest were on my boobs but have faded so much they have almost disappeared.

    To those using bio oil, I never got round to buying some but for my last two pregnancies and this one Ive always put baby oil in the bath as its something I have always bought. My skin is really soft when I get out all over and it saves me having to rub it in. I just pat dry when I get out. If skin is particularly dry you could always rub more into your stomach directly before getting out. I dont know if its got anything to do with it but I have no stretch marks and this is my fourth pregnancy. HTH someone. Jay xx
    I hope that my child, looking back on today
    Will remember a mother who had time to play;
    Because children grow up while you're not looking,
    There are years ahead for cleaning and cooking.
    So, quiet now cobwebs, dust go to sleep.
    I'm nursing my baby, and babies don't keep.

    Loving the bump pics:) KK yours is still nice and neat:D Xmas..my 1st reaction was Wow! Big bump:o:) But I guess it's to be expected in your 4th pregnancy:D

    I've been using a light moisturiser in the morning which smells lovely and in the evening I use Olive Oil...which I'm loving...just like bio-oil imo but a heck of a lot cheaper:p:D

    If anyone is looking to buy anything from Next I've received an email for £10 off a £20 spend inc free delivery I think. BUT you have to open a new credit account with them.....I refuse to as I know it'd be lethal so if anyone wants it pm me your e-mail address and I'll forward the email on to you:) 1st to pm gets it:D ETA: to be used by the 16th July I think, the crafty beggars have done it so you miss the start of the summer sale:mad:

    Thanks MERFE. I'm trying very hard to stay calm and relaxed, know stress isnt good for me or bean.

    My stomach does seem to be getting a bit bigger, and my boobs are feeling quite 'stretched', so hoping those are good signs!

    i'll want to know why I havent had a period in nearly 3 months either!:rotfl:

    Thanks Fuzz :) I think the picture doesnt quite catch the hugeness as it does feel huge!!

    I love your pregnancy timeline, just had a nose now. I must do that with mine, put all the diff weeks on! I also really like your linen trousers in one of the pics!

    KK it probably feels huge coz you're the one lugging it about:D

    Thanks for comments re:timeline...I was very bored a while ago so did that:o I'm hoping that I can print it out as stills and shove it in my baby scrapbook further down the line:D

    Confuzzled ive always had big bumps even with my first i was huge but then there wasnt a lot of room for her to fit so the only way she could go was out. DS1 was the smallest one i had but i only got to 35wks with him they said if he had gone full term he would have been a good 8lber. I was measuring 2 wks ahead with DS2 and he came out 8lb 11oz which is why i was huge with him this one is measuring perfectly but still feel bigger than i did with bubs.

    bubs has his third tooth coming through now we only noticed yesterday and its almost cut he hasnt made any fuss really was just a bit grumpy last week but we had put that down to the heat now we know it wasnt i feel kind of bad but he never crys with pain from his teeth he doesnt excessivley dribble he is always chewing things no matter what so there was no real sign that he was in pain he just wanted lots of cuddles which he got and he settled down when we were infront of the fan. I'm such a bad mommy for not noticing :-(

    Fuzz where is your timeline i cant find it ?

    Kitkat your bump looks lovely and neat and doesnt look a strange shape to me at all. I cant believe how high it is though i always carry low so never had one up under my ribs like that at least you dont look fat it deffinately cant be mistaken for anything other than a baby bump unlike mine until a couple of months ago where i just looked like i had eaten all the pies lol :-)
