Congratulations BB, rakkibeth and museum worker.

Well I had my 32 week scan yesterday to see if the placenta has moved up away from my cervix and it has so I'm on for the big push in approx 8 weeks time. Had to have an internal scan as well yesterday as they couldn't see how much of the cervix was clear, was bit uncomfortable but when you think whats going to happen soon during labour i'd say an internal scan is the least of my worries! When I looked round and seen the condom on the scaning instrument I nearly laughed as it shocked me. OH's face was a picture also.

I hope everyone is feeling well and labour vibes to the boldies.

OH and I watched OBEM last night. I told him afterwards - that's the last one I'll be watching. I'm starting to get scared now.

My DH won't watch it. He's very squeamish! He always either goes out of the room or sits playing the piano with his headphones on (we have an electric piano)

I'd be up for joining a FB group. There are often things I want to say on here that I'm too paranoid to share in case someone from real life susses me out! LOL!

I think that's the positive thing about having a closed fb group, people can share much more and don't have to worry about who will read it! Also you get to share lots of scrummy baby pictures

Emsbet - I've got the blue maxi dress from New Look too! I do like it a lot and it is very comfy so I guess if I do go I can wear that and maybe just add some nice jewelry and get my hair done! I thought my scenario was bad, but 4 days before your due date? Wow! Still, I guess we can only wait and see nearer the time!

Oh and I agree with the others - you do a fantastic job with the list!

I haven't watched a single episode of OBEM - am I the only one?

Nothing to report here apart from that the first load of baby clothes is in the wash. I had to split it into two as we have so many clothes they wouldn't fit in the wash machine :eek: I'm surprised as I really took care not to buy too many things. Although I have added towels, blankets and pram sheets so maybe that's why there's so much stuff. Hoping to pack baby hospital bag tomorrow when everything's dry. Will then start worrying about my bag.

I'm off to have some ice cream now and lie down to see if my LO will start moving a bit more.

Enjoy the sunshine, everyone!

Yeah that's what I thought about the blue maxi dress (I have the black one too) as I refused to spend a lot on something I will not wear again (although if I have another I could always use it then). I also have a wedding about 6 weeks after my EDD so I figured that dress will still be ok to use then to hide my flabby belly

I was 7st 1lb at 8 weeks :eek:, technically underweight and had to see a consultant at 14 weeks to make sure I was eating healthily and didn't have an eating disorder etc (I've always been naturally skinny- and eat like a pig!).
I was weighed at my 25 week appointment last week and am now 8st 9lbs :T First time in my life I can remember putting on weight!
I still have a tiny bump though, in my customer facing job you can't tell at all that I'm pregnant under this uniform, only when I'm wearing a tight top can you see my bump! I'm hoping I'll all of a sudden be huge!

I've only watched one, big mistake! It was the night before my 12 week scan, when I was still trying to get my head around the whole 'omg I am pregnant, really?!' feeling. I cried all the way through - what a sap I think it was just overwhelming and amazing at the same time.

Emsbet and MissMonkeyMoo have you been stealing from my wardrobe? I too have the blue and black maxi dresses. In fact I was being harassed to upload a recent bump photo onto Facebook and I just did wearing my blue dress fab value for money, and like you said Emsbet post birth it'll hopefully flatter the flabby bits!

Choclover forgot its Tuesday and your induction, hope it's all going well and soon you'll be having cuddles.
Betty glad your scan went well

'ello 'ello you lot!

You've been busy popping out the little ones since I last checked in! Congrats to all the new mummies and daddies. Now I'm 24 on the list :eek::eek: and have had to eat half a bag of haribo tangfastics to ease the trauma...

But, I have made yummy lentil and bacon soup to offset that little slip.

I've been AWOL for a couple of days for the same reason as before - shopping! We've now got the cot, mattress, second hand sling bargain (£15! - have already been practicing with a bag of potatoes - it looked very cosy), blanket and some clothes. Also picked up the free newborn starter pack from ASDA, so we have nappies/wipes and cotton wool. Worryingly, it's the local NCT sale on saturday ...:rotfl:

Phew! I was knackered after that lot.

Thankfully the sun has come out after a miserable few days and it is making me feel much cheerier.

Is anyone setting up an FB group? I'd love to join.

Have a great day all, I should really be getting on with some work... or maybe some ice-cream?

PS: Forgot to say, I've got a *SERIOUSLY POSH* wedding to go to at 37+3. Haven't even thought about a dress .....
