    SC, she's a lovely angel! Gorgeous, and congratulations again!

    manc, good luck, it will happen soon for you...... Weather here awful as well, would hide if I could.....

    im hiding today, sun has come out though, i wish it would just get really chilly so that i can light the fire and snuggle up on the sofa under my blanket, is anyone else like that or is it just me? Really need to do something a little bit productive today, house is a state!

    Just had a delivery of my new nursing bras and they're actually really nice!!! Really impressed I can actually still get lovely underwear for BFing.

    I've given up on nursing bras for now- my drawer is full of everything from G (pre preg) to K (Current)..... I'll wait and see what size I am afterwards. I'm in a J cup today, which was too small last week, and a perfect fit this week. I can't win!

    We have boilers being serviced tomorrow, and he's kindly agreed to check our chimney and quote for a wood-burning stove. Or at least, tell us what we need to do, and it'll be a DIY'er.... Hopefully it won't be too much, I'd love to have a fire burning for Christmas. Taking my glasses off and squinting doubtfully at a couple of candles in the hearth just isn't the same.

    My boobs went up a cup and a chest size by 4months and haven't really changed since, so have just bitten the bullet and got that size, they've still got room to grow a bit so I think I'll be ok, had to order them though as they were on special offer. One of them I must have been half a sleep when I ordered as its not a nursing bra, doh, need to send it back, and find another.

    I love our woodburner, it is so easy to light and looks so nice in the winter on a cold rainy night. Lol I can't imagine squinting has quite the same effect! :)

    See, we don't need one, but asked the guy when he serviced the heating would he mind checking out the back boiler and it led from there.

    Now I have romantic visions of sitting by the open fire at Christmas, with mafogglies, baby, DSD and DH..... and a massive mug of hot chocolate. The lights from the tree twinkling softly- the whole deal..... :)

    Oh SC she's a right little stunner! So gorgeous. Congrats :D

    Bump has got hiccups today. Again. He seems to have them at least 2/3 times a day these days.
    I've got another scan tomorrow, and hopefully sorting out an induction. They've said 38 weeks, but I'm wondering if I can get them to go a week earlier. My hips are ridiculously painful now, I can't get in or out of the bath properly, and it takes me 10 minutes just to stand up :(

    Had another big fat argument with OH lastnight. He was being an as*hole and rather than trying to sort stuf out, he went to bed and said nothing but "Sleep."
    So I poured a glass of water over him. He was soon up and talking. Not entirely sure how much got resolved though. His main issue seems to be tiredness, which I don't understand. He gets 6-8 hours a night, doesn't do a physically or mentally demanding job, and he naps on the sofa. Have told him he has to go get tested for anaemia and give up smoking. He told me to Fu*k off...
    DS has clearly picked up on my feelings though. He keeps coming up to me and giving me kisses and patting my bump. He also keeps bringing me balls from his playpool as presents :P
    And he brought over my blankie, and didn't move until I was all snuggly, at which point he went of to conduct some important business with Pooh Bear and some tools...

    I think no matter what he quotes, I'll be out with DH building hearth plates now....

    I love being down at my parents, they have a huge lounge with a massive oak fireplace, and my mum likes a festive atmosphere, so Santa moons from every corner and there's nibbly nuts and dips everywhere....

    Lirin can I come and stay with your mum for Christmas? Pretty pretty please *flutters eyelashes hopefully*

    This baby's movements are getting quite painful sometimes, takes my breath away.

    S_C she's gorgeous :D:D
    Mum of several with a twisted sense of humour and a laundry obsession :o:o

    lol- delain, my mum plans family dinners all the time- I've rarely known one to happen that doesn't involve a neighbour who's dropped by! I love their house, it's comfortable and nice to relax in....

    We don't know our Christmas plans yet, it's dependant on Hitch, really. If I go over, it'll be Christmas week at the latest- and I'm really not looking forward to the usual routine of go to MIL's, drop DSD at her mums, down to my parents, and repeat the next day- I just want to be very lazy and not move all day.....

    Baby turning over is a weird feeling- leaves me breathless, and isn't the nicest, though not actually painful (Hurray! Something that doesn't hurt!!).... What will be interesting- baby's head is in my right rib. When Hitch flips headdown, I'm sure that'll be an experience.

    Lirin I can't get over how much your parents sounds like my in laws house. They want us to stay over on Christmas Eve :eek: I draw the line at that! Said we'l go down for lunch time..

    Had my lunch, was a rather yummy Sainsburys taste the difference herby burger, I probably stink now but it was amazing. Relaxing with a cuppa now wishing OH would !!!!!! off, he's flapping and I have no reason why!

    Mama Moo My OH is always claiming tiredness it annoys me, he sleeps better than me at night! Last night he was "too tired" to talk when he got in from work, despite the fact I'm in alone all day long, so I lost it and started ranting about how is it going to be once baby is here, I'll need conversation etc. :o Think I made him feel guilty, but honestly too tired to talk, it was inane ramblings aswell, nothing serious.
    The frontier is never somewhere else. And no stockades can keep the midnight out.
