Hi all,

Apologies if I am doing this wrong - I have tried to read though but theres a lot to read. I am due 09/12/10 with my first and had my second scan yesterday and everything was ok - so I feel I can finally relax a little bit and enjoy being pregnant - I am a hated one who has had no sickness, no real symptoms - BUT that has just made me think something is wrong all the time!

Stop worrying your just one of those very lucky ladies that dont suffer with morning sickness. If the scans have shown nothing and baby is growing well then relax. But be warned morning sickness can hit you at any time during pregnancy expecially towards the end so you may still suffer a little with it :-) x

gemima.. I never did sick with any of mine.. there was definitely plenty to worry about without that!!This one I have pretty much everything.. bar the sick! it better be a blooming good baby because it has been nothing but trouble so far!!

Welcome Gemima! How lucky are you, think I had every darn symptom going! I only got over my sickness at 30 weeks (it was v bad, like something out of a horror movie!) dont worry about not suffering, your one of the lucky ones

Heres big fat bump pic at 38 weeks; http://i1031.photobucket.com/albums/y373/kittykitkat5566/Bump/DSC02773.jpg
Please excuse mess... and my pjs!! (still wearing them now!) I really have expanded MASSIVELY over the past week, barely any of my tops cover my belly now :eek:

kitkat - great pic but seriously I look that big now at 31 weeks! i'm not letting DH take a pic when I'm in these slobbing clothes but will do one next weekend. Did you decide about work this week? I may've missed you saying something!

dream - i got my lemon blankets from John Lewis in the sale, but I think Sir monster got some from Tesco which were good - online 3 for 2 if I remember rightly! Also, my sister has found Dr Browns bottles great, her little one had v bad reflux and they really helped.

gemima - welcome!

Dream I got mine from tesco's direct as they have an offer, is £4.99 for two (cream or blue) plus everything in bedding is 3 for 2, so you could get some cot sheets, moses sheets or cot blankets.

Have attached link to blue ones.

Thanks Rach, I am sure your not that big, I feel huge, I swear when I walk over our floorboards every single one creaks... same with our staircase. I am so worried I am going to go straight through!!!

I am going into work tomorrow (as I need to go into town anyway, OH is going to do abit of PAT testing and get paid for it at my work so he can be there for me. He has loaded the car with all my hosp stuff and car seat so we're ready to go should we need to (hosp is 5 mins from work) and I am going to get stuff out of office lads need like van rotas/ keys/ mobiles/ etc so if I cant make it in rest of week everything is there for them. I know it seems daft but as we work with volunteers/ agencies I am the only one this week permitted to open up, so if I am not there I will leave the stuff they need outside (its a shared building and will be perfectly safe)

Lot of people think I am crazy working this late on, but if I was home I would only be bored, if I feel unwell I will shoot outa there!!!

I think I am going to have to be very careful over the next few weeks not to go mad buying stuff for bubs! I've done so well so far with bargains and only buying essentials but I've just agreed to get some bits off a netmums lady for £60! They do include 2 close slings, one for me and one for my sister, but somehow I suddenly want to buy lots of stuff!!

Keep meaning to say, friend sent us a film called Away We Go, we watched it last weekend - we both enjoyed it, sir M I'll lend it when I next see you if you fancy watching, and dh wants to send to his colleague who is also pg!

Thanks everyone, I can't believe I forgot to add his name! We've called him Corin Michael. Corin cos we love the name and Michael after my Dad's middle name which is where my middle name of Michelle came from.

Just back from the hospital, his breathing has improved and he's having breast milk orally alongside the tube so he's deinitely picking up! :T

Durham thats great news! Lovely name hopefully he will be home soon

Kitkat you have a lovely neat bump and you certainly dont look huge just the right size, I look like a beached whale and walk like john wayne. I wished my stomach muscles still worked i think they have completely given up on me this time round only thing that will salvage my midrift now is a tummy tuck which will never happen A: I dont have the money & B: I'm a complete wuss with anything like that
