    Thanks pigpen :( You were 'bumpy' before I even knew I was pregnant :rotfl: I've heard the heartbeat so not really worried, well I am a bit, but just want to look pregnant now!

    Thanks jcr - maybe by the time we get back from hols then as I'll be 18 weeks by then. Hope my holiday clothes continue to fit until then!

    I was immense with my first at 17 and wore maternity clothes from about 8 weeks.. it has nothing to do with the number of children you have.. some people show earlier than others.

    I had a friend who when having her 4th got to 34 weeks and you honestly couldn't tell she was pg.. and she weighed all of 6 stone!

    i'm using the excuse that becuase i've had 5 pregnancies ( although 1st was only a short one) in 8 years thats why i'm a podgie lass now,lol ( well size 12/14). and i'm sticking to it. haha. althought last baby was my smallest bump he was so well hidden. my friend is preg with her 3rd she gets really big but the second she has had the baby she back to her size 6 waist before she has left hospital and you would never know she was preg the day before.

    when i lay down tho my bump almost completely disappears.

    Well baby has kicked me nearly all night, propberly been the first awful not sleep in a long time. i just could not get comfy, my back was so sore. i would of taken some painkillers but i was so warm in bed i didn't want to get out to get them, so i guess the pain can't of been that bad. prob tiredness making it feel worse. my tummy was so hard all yesterday, but woke up this morning and i do actually feel quite re-freshed, which is surprising. would be nice to see the sun, as it another dull grey day here at moment.

    the children ahve promised to help clear out and sort there toy room today. Help !!!!we always seem to make more of a mess while clearnign out. but i have a little boy with a birthday on saturday so need to make some more space.

    Warning to you girls DO NOT look at the next webiste for baby nursery collections. OMG it is all gorgeous.There was me saying i wanted to stick with the i love my bear range, why did i look at next. i think i've kitted out the nursery about 4 times over now, re-done the boys bedroom and given my dd a pink bedroom to die for.( all in my head of course) hope our building works gets done quicker than planned as otherwise there might be new collections at next and i'll have more choice,lol.

    i love next bit and bobs, my little girl heads straight to the shop as soon as we get into town and she's only 4 :)
    i'm 19+5 now and havent bought a thing, i put a deposit down for a pram, then changed my mind so i need to choose another now, i'm looking at the silvercross freeway, but i may change my mind again,
    i have my scan next wednesday so once i get the ok from that, i'll start getting my bum into gear and buying things.
    my bump is huge, you would think i was full term already, my partner has kids from a previous relationship and they was 10lb 8oz, and 8lb 10oz and our daughter together was 9lb 10oz so i'm wondering if this one will be a bruiser too :)
    Skint, but happy (ish):p
