    Looks like you had fun though Tink! ;)

    Hope your Mum is OK Dinah and that everyone enjoyed Gracie's Christening. :)

    Our painting is all done, OH worked out that he painted the whole flat in 12 hours (spread over 4 days). :T Feel quite bad that he did it all but it would have taken me 12 hours just to paint one room, never mind all of them! :p

    Went shopping with my Mum on Saturday and she bought me some soft jersey dresses with lots of room for growth, they're sooo comfy! :) Wore one yesterday and kept stoking it saying, 'Oooh so soft and cosy!' :p I'm easily pleased! :)

    Hope the christening went well, did Gracie enjoy her day? The weather was pretty dramatic!

    How's your Mum?

    This is exactly how I feel - this is why we need three-day weekends! Two days for fun, then one extra to do your washing!

    Ooh Birdie I'm all about the pregnancy dresses - wearing a jersey midi dress today which is not totally flattering but I like it anyway :p I need all the 'drape' I can get at the mo, eating like a total pig :( Trying to rein myself in AGAIN this week :o

    Hope everyone else is well!

    LOL Tete, for a few months I've been sticking to wearing soft drapey fabrics with high waistbands, or no waistbands and one day OH asked me why I was dressing like I was already pregnant and had to admit that sadly I was having to dress for comfort as I'd expanded somewhat due to comfort eating! :o

    My new dresses aren't proper maternity, just the next size up with high, gathered waists, but hopefully they'll last me until autumn (if I don't eat too much and get fat!) as there's a lot of stretch in them! 2 of them are from Joules (half price sale :)) and they are the softest, loveliest fabric; I recommend you have a look! :)

    How was the christening?? Bet Grace was a star!!

    Birdie I bought a lovely jersey dress for my cousins wedding when I was pregnant with DS as I refused to pay extortionate amounts for a posh maternity dress I would wear once. I still wear that dress now and it's so comfortable. Luckily it kept the stretch so it doesn't look too big on me now. I always say its my "baby belly" anyway just ignore the fact that "my baby" is 18months :eek:

    How are you feeling now? Any sickness?

    I'm feeling OK Star. :) Nausea comes and goes but I haven't had any actual sickness. I felt really grotty around the back end of last week but feel less minging now... although I've got the uncomfortable massive bloated belly feeling today which isn't so nice! :o

    Oh dear Birdie. You need to sit in work now and complain loudly how you ate too much last night and are feeling bloated today ;)
