    Aww thanks.
    !
    I am always shattered in the evenings! Have been since about 12 weeks. But by the time I have woken up 5 times during the night to wee or turn over I nod back off and can lie in lol.
    !
    I was saying earlier though, At 36 weeks, I have bad hips, bad pelvis pains, an incredibly painful back, and to top all of that off I am sick to death of finger !!!!! tests, taking metformin tablets and injecting myself with insulin, that I want her out, and tohave my body back and to have cuddles with her. Just reached my tolerence level, but I think that might be cause I am tired, will be ok again after a good nights sleep.
    !
    Sorry for the moan!!! x x

    I wake up a fair but in the night but can usually go back to sleep but if I wake up past 4 I don't seem to be able to.

    It must be tough having to deal with all the diabetes stuff on top of the regular pregnancy aches and pains. Little lady will be here soon though and you will get your cuddles :)

    emsbet my anomaly scan is Thursday 26th April (I'll be 18w + 4 then) as they brought it forward as Moon had a sister who died from spina bifida, and as they don't do the blood test at my hospital any more, they've brought the scan forward (I assume so they can see if there is a risk earlier). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that bean isn't at risk as it usually goes down the mother's side apparently, but you never know. Sonographer said there were no soft markers for it at the 13 week scan, but it's hard to say for definite until the baby is developed further.

    I remember you saying about Moon's sister. I'm sure you'll be ok but it's hard not to worry I know. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you.

    Are you going to find out the flavour? We haven't discussed it yet but I think I want to find out because I'm nosy and impatient ;) but I don't think DH wants to know. I know we'll find out soon enough but I'm just eager to know as with the last two we didn't get to find out what they were and that bothers me a lot, especially with Alex.

    Morning all,

    I'm up early today because I woke up with pain in my back/hips again. I wish I could enjoy a weekend lie-in like I used to. I just want to be able to lie on my stomach at the moment and I can't - so frustrating (stamps feet). I've already lost an hour with the clocks changing!

    Anyway, it turns out I have won a dream genii pillow on ebay so I will see if that helps. It's from someone local to me so I will see if I can pick it up later today.

    It was ever so strange yesterday. DH and I had to go into the bank and I was getting annoyed and frustrated with the amount of silly forms they asked us to fill in just to carry out a simple request. I found myself getting angrier and angrier - it was like when they talk about the "red mist" descending. I was like a crazy woman and had to just walk away in the end before I took someone's head off! I was in a complete rage. I'm really not like that normally so I think it must be to do with the pregnancy hormones. DH kept telling me to calm down because it's not good for the baby but I was just boiling!

    Went out for a lovely Thai meal last night with some friends and told them that we are expecting. They were thrilled for us, we had a lovely night. Off out again at lunchtime for a pub lunch with some extended family who are visiting. I'm glad not to have to cook.

    Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend and enjoying the glorious weather.

    I got my Dream Genii pillow yesterday. Mamas and Papas had a special event on so it was reduced to £41 then with my £5 gift card I only paid £36. Chuffed with that. So comfy, I had a good sleep!

    Mothercare also had buy 1 get 1 half price on clothes so I finally got some new bras and a lovely dress for Summer. Perfect for our trip to France in June. Also had a voucher fo 10% off - was all meant to be nearly £90 and I paid £57.

    Also got the baby a lovely fluffy jacket for £6 in the Next sale. I had a productive Saturday! Now for a lazy sunday.

    Hope everyones doing ok and some babies are going to arrive soon for the boldies.

    I have my 20 week scan on April 23rd when I will be 20+4 which is ages away!

    Happy anniversary emsbet :) have a lovely day whatever you are doing.

    I am fed up of my OH working now, i cried and told him i didn't want him to go to work this morning!!! He is doing it all for our new arrival, hopefully next week, but when he has only had one day off in a month and we have a 3 year old and his dd every other weekend it gets a bit much!! I just wanted to go out for some dinner and have a nice relaxing afternoon. Stupid hormones, i'm off crying again now.

    Went out with my sister yesterday to the garden centre and got some stuff to hopefully stop the cats digging up my plants and pi$$ing in the front garden. It is only a yard with lovely little planting areas that i am very proud of, DS wants to shoot the cats lol.....

    Hope everyone has a lovely sunday.

    Happy - sorry you didn't enjoy the meal but glad you had a good birthday. Hope you enjoyed your evening with friends last night and your takeaway. On the subject of fitting into your trousers, well done. I would never ever be able to fit into any of mine but i did fit into a size 8 top for the evening wedding do on friday night!! No idea how, guess it was just a lovely floaty top :)

    Morning all :hello:

    Lovecrafting - hope you get your tax credits sorted out, sounds like a nightmare.
    Happy - hope you feeling much betetr now my lovely
    Whowants2brich - I know excatly how your DW feels! By the way, how is the job situation for her? Is she still having problems?
    Emsbet - loving your tidy EDD lists! :) Happy anniversary!

    Oh and just needed to add, big hugs for flutter_by lil xx

    Had a fairly busy day yesterday, took puppy dog for a long walk first thing, then lunch with two of my favourite friends :), then off to DH's family for the afternoon, got back about 8pm. But by the end I was in total and utter agony, just laid in bed sobbing :( DH was so lovely and supportive but I worry sometimes - I'm only 27 weeks and this SPD is likely to get worse; I don't know how he puts up with all the tears and the having to accompany me downstairs to the toilet :( He has never once complained and only ever been lovely - but I still worry. Aaaaah!

    Anyway, feeling bit beter today. DH is on one of his 'hobby' days and I am under strict instructions to do nothing all day :)

    Hope everyone is well and has remembered to put the clocks forward :D

    Morning. Have missed most of this week, hope everyone is doing well.
    Oh came out of hospital tuesday evening and is doing well. Has been a nightmare week but had a wonderful surprise baby shower yesterday which really cheered me up, everyone went to so much effort and we got some lovely things for baby and a few treats for me. We truly are blessed to have such thoughtful friends and family.

    Wonder if lola has had her baby yet? I think our cat thinks baby is on the way, she won't leave me on my own, every time I get up for a wee in the night (which is very often!) She follows me bless her :0)
