ooo wonder what her name will be. I can imagine Zara going for something non-traditional.

Lovely bump picks ladies.

I too seem to spend the day running to the toilet only to manage a little trickle! :rotfl: Think we'd better get used to it!

Faerie good luck with your house today. Keeping everything crossed for you. Hope you don't have too much decorating to do! We've been in our house over a year and still got stuff to finish!!

lush wow that is a lot of dairy!! I don't like cheese (weirdo I know!!) and don't drink milk, so I make sure I have a yoghurt everyday. I would seriously struggle with 5 portions a day!!

afm, having a day working from home. Need it after yday. One of our sales guys dropped me an email to tell me that the proposal I'm doing for a customer has changed completely. So that's all the work I've done so far this week needing to be scrapped and start again!! !!!!!! :mad: If he'd been in the office my mouse might have bounced off his head!!

I've got payroll trying to calc my pay for whilst I'm on mat leave. Looking forward to that! :eek:

I am nearly 23 weeks but my old stretch marks are already appearing again.

I am quite small (I don't look like it in that picture) and I don't stretch well lol

Lovely bumps girls

I've got stretch marks too
They first made an appearance around 30-32 weeks or so and turned into proper lines about 35 weeks (lovely Christmas pressie for me!) They are just under my bump, so I can't see them unless I look in the mirror! I have marks from growing as a teenager and they are faded so hopefully these will too. Hubby has marks too from teen growth spurt. We call them our tiger stripes!

Am feeling really hormonal and emotional today. Have been reading more of the birth stories from the blog I posted yesterday and it's tipped me over the edge! Hubby on a half day so he'll be coming home to messy-me soon!

Me too i was a little annoyed last night as they are literally all over my tummy and hips from previous pregnancy and they are re appearing after several years of them fading gradually!

DH said i shouldnt be upset as they are a lasting memory of how i created and carried a whole new life inside me...How sweet!

I thought I was doing well till about then too. Now they reach from pubic bone to just below belly button and there are loads! Hubs says they're nothing to worry about and that he doesnt see them, but it infuriates me as I know they're there and I really dont like them! I got bad stretch marks as a teenager when I dropped a load of weight quickly and they took years to go, but best thing for them was UV. So, although I'm not a sunbed bunny, think a little while after she's here I'll be going on a few to hopefuly reduce them a bit.

Just back from town centre got some bits and bobs

BM bargains have the sleep bags for £6.99 so I got a green one and a beige one, also got a moses basket starter set including a cellular blanket for £8.99. Sending them to my mum and she will wash them for me lol, she's been washing all my baby things as she works from home so has more time.

I keep convincing myself that my bump just isn't big enough at the moment. I don't know why as I've measured perfect at every mw appointment but I just keep comparing myself to bother people.
The girls at my antenatal class are around the same amount of weeks an they have giant round hard bumps whereas mine is lower and more squishy!! I'll try as take some pics later when I get home! Guess it's just how my body was beforehand (I have never been toned!). I'm not worried as I can still feel baby dancing away on there, However I'm just jealous of all the lovely enormous bumps!! Maybe it will still come towards the end!!

Afternoon ladies

BZ - Good luck! I hope this is the start of labour, that it doesn't go on too long and that you're not too tired

I too have been going to the toilet loads. I know for a fact the baby was on my bladder this morning as everytime they moved and kicked I wanted to go for a wee. Luckily it didn't last that long and I didn't have any accidents!

Can I ask how many nappies people are getting? I'm hoping to use reuseable nappies after the first month, but don't know how many disposable nappies I'll need. I have a pack of 50 pampers newborn, 6lb - 13lb, and then 40 Asda newborn for the same weight. Is that enough? It seems like loads but I don't know how often newborns neeed changing.

Ooh exciting developments BigZ - hope to see your announcement soon:)

Fran - I'm the same, can't wait to have some treats once baby is here and GD will have gone. Looking forward to some wine as well

Lush - it's hard to eat enough dairy. I was told to eat more cos apparently baby takes loads of calcium in the last trimester. I don't like cheese, I only take milk in coffee and I need to be really careful which yogurts I eat cos of the GD. A lot of them have high sugar levels

I'm loving the bump photos

Samtoby - I think my problem is I stretch too well! Not looking forward to the giant blancmange belly once baby is out! :eek:
Although I have put on less than a stone so far. Maybe that's due to cutting down on sugar?

Babys r us have got grobags £10 off at the mo if anyone needs them.
