Hello lovely September Mummies!
Well it feels like I have been away for aaaages, and there are hundreds of posts to catch up on so I hope that you are all doing ok.
My holiday with the in-laws was lovely, lots of sunshine, and the wedding I went to was fab, the bride looked beautiful and it was great seeing so many friends that I don't see very often.
I had my 20 week scan last Thursday and baby is all healthy and normal, and was stretching and flexing lots too which was so good to see. I am still amazed at all the things they can show you and the detail of all the bones!
I have tried to attach the pic, but it is quite a small one, I hope you can all see the little one waving hello to you all!
It had it's bum down low so we didn't find out the sex. Have to wait til my 28 week scan now!
Have a great day everyone! xx

Just had a quick catch up on the last week,
Great news about so many healthy baby scans, and a few more girls added to the list too!
*supersoapie* I am sorry to hear about your sister, I hope she is doing ok.
*kanga* I hope you are feeling a bit better today, you definitely seem to be getting a rough ride.
*soph_uk* I am sorry to hear about your aunt, I hope you are feeling a little less stressed now? I'm sure baby will be ok, try not to worry.
*nds* Nic how is the gate working for the pup? I hope it does work!
I have been thinking about Maternity leave too, I am thinking of taking it at 39 weeks, and taking 2-3 weeks annual leave in August, so finishing mid-August (due on 9th Sep) I will be planning to take just under 26 paid weeks off, so I can return to the same job. I am saving some leave to phase my return a bit, maybe a few weeks at 3 days work, 2 days leave, so I don't get a shock returning to 5 full days after 6 months of none!
Oh, I found out I have an anterior placenta at my scan, but still getting lots of little movements very low down. I am hoping they will get stronger soon so hubby can feel them. The baby goes crazy when he touches my tum or when he speaks to it! It is such a great feeling isn't it!

We had our 20 week scan this morning.....
It's a....... BOY - Another blue
absolutely chuffed to bits as we already have a little lady. I burst into tears, what a wally lol. My husband is sooooooo overwhelmed!
Have to go back in 2/3 weeks to get better spine and heart measurements as he was sat the wrong way, she thought everything looks good though - so I get to see him again really soon

I don't think I have a pic of me ready for the wedding to show you what I wore nic...my friend might have though...I'll post it if she has one.
That's so awful about the girl that has died. So unfair
Sorry to hear about your sister supersoapie. I hope she's ok. I miscarried at about 6 weeks in January of last year. It's not an easy time, but as with alot of things, times a great healer. Just be there weather she wants to talk, laugh or cry. There's not much more anyone can do. Xxx

Congrats on all of the scans ladies! Great news. One week tomorrow and we'll know what Pedro is!
I got overly excited this morning....I'd ordered the 4moms Mamaroo....it really is awesome. I love it! A bit pricey, but a little bit a splurge doesn't hurt does it. Just hope Pedro likes it haha x

Morning!
Quiet on here at the moment, we were nearly on page 2!
So how is everybody doing? Is everybody feeling better now we are in Tri 2? I think I’ve finally reached the feeling good and having more energy stage, it took long enough coming! Think the headaches have finally shifted so I actually feel pretty good now..(Properly just jinxed it saying that!)
Also anybody bought any big purchases yet? Starting to look at Nursery furniture now..We were fortunate enough to be given a cot bed and we have a built in wardrobe so just a chest of drawers/changing unit we need really..
Only 5/6 weeks until Tri 3, eek, its flying by now!!

Claire I realised that yesterday! We'd slipped right down to the bottom of second trimester :O
when we first started telling people we were expecting we got offered LOADS. A lady in the village said she had a pram for sale, so I went to look at it, I wasnt sure and felt like i HAD to buy it. it was only £40 but think I'll sell it on and get a different one closer to the time.
have also been offered a cot which is ready to collect closer to the time, a moses basket, baby bath and pretty much all the clothes I could need for the first month, so i feel like theres nothing left to buy. Its a bit sad really because I want to go get things I love... but I am grateful.
glad to hear you're feeling better! Im so glad I only felt rough for the first tri, second tri has been lovely, as I stopped needed a pee 3 times in the night, but now night time toilet visits are on the return and im getting waaay too hot and uncomfortable in bed, so im knackered in work today! Ahh the joys.
Do any of you have experience of bump photoshoots or baby photoshoots? What price have you paid for either?? What did you get?/ xx

Ah I know, we must all be feeling quiet at the mo! I feel after a week off though I have lots of catching up to do!!
Oh I know what you mean! Everybody offers you stuff don’t they and you feel rude saying no! My Brother in Law gave us a pushchair as he works for Maxi Cosi and its an ex-Demo one..It will be absolutely fine but just wouldn’t have been my first choice but how can I turn down a free pushchair?!
He has given us a stroller too for when Bubs is a bit older so we are lucky…. The cot bed wouldn’t have been my first choice either but We are very grateful to be given so much!
Ah that’s great that you are feeling good and only suffered the first Tri! Oh yes, I get hot flushes quite regularly ha! Everybody at work is freezing and Im sitting fanning myself..That is only going to get worse as the weather gets hotter and I get bigger though! Not looking forward to that I have to say!
I havent had any experience of that but I know my Sister had a bump shoot and loved it..Not sure how much she paid though..x
