    Those pictures are beautiful. I love the vintage look you have gone for..lovely.

    Gorgeous dress too..are you sure you're 20 weeks?? It's very flattering :)

    Wedding was last July - I'm a hell of a lot bigger now :D

    I know what you mean Clare - another pregnant friend of mine is due after me with a boy and was saying recently that she hopes I don't chooes a name that she might want. It's highly unlikely as she has a dog called Olly! It will be kind of odd having a child with the same name as her dog, but I've decided I love it enough to look past that.

    I don't particularly like Olivia either MV. Funny isn't it? My Mum suggested it a couple of times when I was pregnant with DS, but it never appealed to me.

    I'll be 30 weeks on Thursday. Holy cow! How did that happen? Next week we're going to start getting the spare room organised for DS to move into so the baby can have his current room. I've just ordered him the coolest fire engine lampshade from Next, and some wall stickers with diggers and things on - I can't wait to get decorating :D

    Love the wedding pictures Claree, hope your rings fit! I've had to remove mine now as getting tight and dermatitis keeps flaring up (OH still won't wash up though!!) and don't want to keep using harsh steroid cream. Going to invest in a nice chain this weekend I think before we go away.

    Know what you mean about bras too - I went up a band around 13 weeks, another cup at 21 weeks and now 27 weeks and pretty sure it'll be another cup and another band! Good job I can measure my own so I can make sure they are good for as long as possible but they just won't stop ballooning!

    haha sorry Clare!

    Wow BB, 30 weeks! not long to go now. Exciting times! Have you tried to explain to your DS that another baby is coming? We have mentioned it, but at 2, our DS doesn't get it!

    I've got loads of ideas for our new nursery :) Just need to kick OH up the ar5e to clear his clutter out of what is at the moment a 'boys toys' room!

    Have bought these decals for the wall which I love:

    You don't even take him seriously,
    How am I going to get to heaven?,
    When I'm just balanced so precariously..

    I'm just going to go to asda for them, they're only about £4 so it's not breaking the bank but I've already bought 2 t-shirts this week (big spender I know :rotfl:) so I grudge spending more! They were fairly uncomfortable last week and now it's just getting sore so I know I have to!

    Haven't tried Asda for bras, might have to if they are that cheap since these don't seem to be lasting very long - hopefully I'll slim back into them after feeding!

    On names, baby has had her name since we had the 20 week scan so unless my cousin uses it (she's due four weeks before me) or something really puts us off it - she's named already :) It's really helped OH to bond with bump too

    Have you mentioned what it is or are you keeping it under wraps?

    Asda is good - my normal bras are from there, they're the only place I know that don't charge a fortune for F-cups, although god knows what I'll be now!

    A few friends know it and our parents/grandparents but no-one that will see cousin, part of me wants to tell her so she doesn't use it but another part worries she'll like it and want to use it :(

    Quite right! Only one of my friends is pregnant at the moment but she's Polish so unlikely she's going to want and Irish/Gaelic name so we're good on that one. I'm worried that I'll "take" someone's name though.
