    Blimey Faerie, 4 girls at once, must be mayhem! I'm quite happy with just the one baby! ;) Lovely that you've got lots of nice stuff, must feel like Christmas has come early. :)

    I haven't really felt much movement yet but I've had the odd washing machine feeling in my tummy which is a bit weird... I'm not sure I'll love it once I start getting kicked all the time! :o

    OH is doing my head in with name suggestions, he keeps coming up with stupid Sci-Fi characters and action heroes... just choose a sensible name !!!!!!, and NO, Obi-Wan is NOT a sensible name! :p


    You could have Ben, that's what Luke calls him at the start :cool:

    Oh we've had that option too... so OH can call him 'Old Ben' when he grows up! God, such a geek! :cool:

    Birdie re Moses baskets there are loads of cheap collection only ones in eBay near me. I think that's what we'll do then just get a new mattress x

  • hi all

    I have had tummy ache all day - does anyone else get this? just normal tummy ache that you get before anything pregnancy related came along? (Tmi-) I have been to the toilet so I know its not that. Am hoping its just baby in a weird position.

    Ninth Anniversary Combo Breaker
    I have falled in love with a bedding set, only 2 problems :

    1. It's only available in the US and would cost a fortune to be shipped
    2. It's already a fortune even converting into £s!!

    I wish I hadn't seen it though as can't see any I like here now they all look so boring. :(

    I'm going to need a neutral theme so was thinking jungle/zoo/safara themed.

    MrsBunny, my stomach aches like period pains, I think it's just stretching pains. I had the same a few weeks ago and then the next day my bump appeared!

    Re not liking the baby movements feeling - I definitely find some less enjoyable than others. Some make me think s/he's playing with the umbilical cord cos it feels like twanging a guitar string or elastic band or something - it goes through me :o I also dislike getting kicked in the exit area too ;) not comfy! I absolutely love when dh talks to the baby through my belly though and the baby responds with kicks and movements. It's so cute :happyhear

  • Can I say a tentative hello? :)

    Had my 12 week scan on Monday which was all good - helped relieve my (past m/c) paranoia a little and I'm hoping it'll feel more real now!
