Wondering how your all doing?

[mountainboo]

Particularly Red and Nat. I'm 36 weeks today, just one week away from you Nat, who do you think will be first?

I'm getting very bored now and to my horror, discovering new stretch marks daily. The stretch marks on my tummy look more like tiger stripes now. I have some on my boobs, my inner thigh and fresh ones on the backs of my legs. Please tell me I'm not the only one!!

How big are all your bumps? I thought mine was huge but after googling (yes I have resorted to googling things) I have discovered I'm probably about normal. Mr MB thinks baby is huge though because he's felt the length of his back and insists on telling me constantly that he thinks he is already a 9 lber. I'm now 3 stone heavier than pre-pregnancy and as much as the mirror shuders every time I go near it I'm kind of looking forward to the challenge of losing the excess few hundred pounds!! Have a good evening all xx

andrea, how about belly dancing? lol

I wouldnt give up work too early unless you have to for medical reasons because Im sure itll get very boring

[andrea81]

Yes I do agree, I'm gonna finish end of April as I think that by then driving to work will be a nightmare as it's an hour away!

Belly dancing sounds good though, not sure if others will agree! lol

Hi all, I too was wondering how you were all doing. I'm 21 weeks now - although I look and feel about 21 months!!!!
Had my scan last week and everything is as expected.

I can't believe how tired I am this time round, I guess that comes with working full time and having a 15 month daughter. (She is a sweetheart tho)

So, have you all decided on names yet?

[redcrx]

hi Lore, I can sympathise with how youre feeling although my lad is 2.5 and a bit more independant that a 15 month old. Mind youhe is a lot heavier lol. It is hard work though.

Have names floating around in my head, maybe William for a boy and Amelia for a girl but that changes often :)

Hey Lore, glad everything is going as expected. I dont envy having a 15month old to care for too - I have enough trouble caring for just me! LOL

As for names, for a boy we have Archie or Finlay, and for a girl it's Amelia (ditto red!), Evie or Bella.

Do you have any in mind yet?

[redcrx]

Natalie, thats another reason why you and i shall be racing to the finish line, so we cant be accused of copying a name pmsl.

can i just say thanks to everyone for yesterday, I am gonna try and stay composed now (after a good cry in front of my dad lol).

4get, youre a lovely sis, one of my best :)
