    Me too! Esp as you've got me thinking about Xmas!

    For those who are going to BF have you looked for nursing clothes yet? They are either really ugly or really expensive and I'm not sure what to do for the best?

    Glad that the bleeding appears to have stopped Daisiegg and yes I've had that moment of 'holy cr*p we're going to have a baby at christmas'. Even panicked when I was testing out prams last week, it's scary to think we're responsible for keeping another human being alive :eek: :D.

    Monty I've been looking at nursing clothes too and they just don't seem suitable. My friend had two tops that she bought that tied in the middle with openings over where her boobs were so she just had to untie the top and it was discreet if that makes sense. Everything I've seen just seems a bit faffy. To be fair my friend just got to point where it didn't matter what she wore she just made sure she was covered.

    Good luck with writing the formal grievance part too. It's going to be difficult but worth it in the end.

    Congrats on Team Blue T2D and thanks for sharing with us.

    LailaP I would do as suggested and complain to SW head office as surely the leader should be made aware how inappropriate her comments have been.

    Can't remember anything else so sorry if I've missed anything.

    Hi all,

    Been busy on here today! Just had chance to sit down and have a cup of tea as DD is having a nap after gymnastics.

    Time2deal - congratulations on the boy, the pic is great.

    Daisy - hope all is ok with the bleeding. Definitely speak to someone if you are worried.

    With bfing I either wore low cut tops (although was spring/summer so a bit different). Other way is to wear a vest top underneath another top and then lift one top up and pull vest top down.

    Never fear, I got through all my recorded episodes about a week ago!

    Hubby is away this weekend visiting his daughter but my sister is staying with me. Not that I expect to see much of her - she is studying for her medicine finals! She just likes to have a bit of home comfort rather than stuck in her student room all the time.

    This evening we are going to see my grandparents and they have got out the crib that my grandad made when I was born, and that myself, my siblings and cousins all slept in. There is also a quilt that my mum made when she was pregnant with me, and a hand embroidered shawl with matching bonnet and matinee jacket (I have no idea what that is!) that my great grandmother (long dead) made. I just know I am going to get emotional!

    Ooo, I'm now in the middle. I've added our team yellow to the list.

    Nice pics everyone.

    Laila, do you feel like you are able to get through to the leader that the reason you're putting on weight is because you are pregnant. It seems stupid that she does not get that already. Do you ever want to go back again? If not then tell the head office but if you do, I would contact them and ask what the BMI etc guidance is for pregnant women and if the leader has it wrong then shove it under her face.

    I've just picked up our travel system and car seat. I mentioned that we were supposed to look through the vouchers earlier in the week, but did not, and managed to get £10 knocked off.
    Pots: House £6966/£7100, Rainy day Complete, [STRIKE]Sunny day £0/£700[/STRIKE], IVF £2523/£2523, Car up-keep £135/£135, New car £5000/£5000, Holiday £1000/£1000, MFW #16 £2077/£3120
    MFiT3 #86: Reduce mortgage from £146,800 to £125,000
    Mortgage Sept 2014: £135,500, MF Oct 2035 Peak July 2011: £154,000, MF July 2036

    Daisiegg Glad the bleeding has stopped and thinking about Christmas makes me happy. I don't usually get excited but I think this year will be very special for all of us

    I did make a point of telling her that my midwife was more than happy with my weight at the moment and I said I wasn't going to go to group to be made to feel bad. It was then she started on about the tools to assist me to find out what is sabotaging me so no I don't think she really got it.

    I feel really let down because I've been going to the group for over 2 years, I've been helping her weigh people each week and she's been like a friend to me so I can't understand why she had suddenly started being funny with me. Maybe because I am her only target member and no longer setting an example because I've got a big fat preggers belly lol.

    Anyway, I won't be going back. After the baby I will either find another group or just follow SW on my own to lose the weight. For now I am going to enjoy myself!

    :D

    Done this on the tablet so hope it's worked. If not will log in properly to a computer and do it that way. Everything is in the right place and the right size so all my neurosis were incorrect as I hoped.

    Will reply properly later :D
