Replaster and bathroom in 5 weeks? That's just bonkers lol

My move went ok we are in the middle of decorating my little boys 'big boy' bedroom, then we will do the nursery and then whatever else we have time for before babies arrive. B&Q have the most gorgeous gruff also wall paper which is going in the nursery too

I had a slight bump in my car as well the other day so now suffering with a bad back, but on the bright side one of my colleagues scanned me to check they were OK and we are having 2 little boys.

Other than that there is not a lot that is new, usual stretching discomfort, everyone asking how long I have left as I look about 6/7 months pregnant

How are you all feeling? Anybody any movements yet? Or anyone else know what they are having if they are finding out? X

 

[naomi88]

Glad the move went well! And how lovely that you're going to be having two boys!! You are going to be a bit outnumbered though haha! Sorry to hear about the bump but glad all was fine.

Gosh Lander sounds like you've got a busy few weeks ahead!

Still feeling movement which is nice some days feel it a lot and then others it's a bit quieter. Still planning on staying team yellow although itching to find out haha. Want to try and stay strong though!

Got my little girls second birthday next weekend so got lots of planning and prep to do this week. Can't believe she's about to be two!
Xxx

 

[MrsB2105]

Aww, time flies doesn't it, Liam remembers everything from his 2nd birthday so she will love it I'm sure

I don't know how you have the strength to wait lol I'm so impatient X

 

[gempaw82]

Good afternoon ladies. Hope everyone is doing well. I'm still in the doesn't feel real stage. Got a midwife appointment next Friday so hopefully will hear little beans heartbeat and all will become real lol. Anyone else not feeling pregnant ?

Hope you lot are well.

Hey MrsB glad you've got your internet back and congrats on having two boys!!
I'm staying team yellow too! Going to be tough but will let my OH tell me whether we have a son or daughter at the birth well that's the plan. Let's see what happens at the 20 week scan. Ha.
I don't feel preggers yet either... Morning sickness has stopped and not got much of a bump so just feels odd. Still got my warm / slightly sore nipples though... The only constant!! Haha xx

 

[MrsB2105]

Aww I do love the idea of a surprise I just couldn't do it myself lol,

You will a
Have a bump soon enough I'm sure x

 

[scn]

Woohoo .... 19 weeks today! Almost halfway lol

 

[naomi88]

Woop congrats Karen! Exciting stuff.

When is everyone thinking of starting mat leave? Xxx

 

[Aragon]

Love your thinking Naomi
I'm thinking officially 2 weeks before EDD but I will have about 3 weeks holiday to take too so probably 35 weeks! Not discussed with work yet.

MrsB I'm sure I will have a bump soon and then I'll be moaning about it by 30 weeks. Hahaha xx

 

[russellmuscle]

Im the same as aragon, 2w before and whatever annual leave I have.

I started mat a month before and he was late so, bugger that.

xxxx

 

[scn]

I'm hoping to last until 36 weeks to start mat leave but I've got 6 weeks annual leave to take so if my manager agrees I'll stop at 30 weeks. Had hoped to start mat leave at 39 weeks and have my 6 weeks al before meaning stopping at 33 weeks but I'm struggling to walk and do a shift as it is now so I know I've no chance of making it until then without going off sick and then mat leave would automatically kick in at 36 weeks anyway so might as well just plan and accept that'll be when I start it xx

 

[MrsB2105]

I'm undecided, maybe about 32 ish weeks but that will include some annual leave, I'm very aware they may come early plus not sure how long I will cope at work x

 

[naomi88]

I am hoping to do the same as I did last time - start mat leave at 40 weeks and take a weeks annual leave before - want to carry over the rest of my annual leave for the other side of mat leave which work have said is fine. I coped ok doing that late last time and LO was 10 days late anyway. I am lucky in that for the last month or so I will be able to work just from my desk so will require minimum energy and sometimes that's easier than being home with my energetic toddler haha!

Obviously will have to rethink if I am struggling to cope, but that's what I am hoping to do.

Got my holiday to menorca in less than a month, woop!

I finish for the summer holidays at 30 weeks, so I'll go back in sept for 2 weeks (I think) and finish at 38 weeks. Might just do the one week. I don't think I'll expected to do much as someone will be covering me for the new term so hopefully I'll be able to do the 2 weeks! Xx

Hi girls I had a fab time it was very busy though visiting inlaws...... feet blew up while away and feet and ankles after the flight home, with some elevation it was gone as quick as it came. Got my huge pregnancy pillow and I am loving it!! I have the quadruplet test tomorrow and scan bricking it, but happy to see the lil one again and make sure all is ok.

Happy Sunday girls xx

 

[Lander]

Yes, hoping to be moved into new house by early July (mortgage is all approved and our survey has not highlighted anything serious or cause for real concern, it's just old and needs work!) when I'll be about 31 weeks and then hit my A/L 29th July at 34+2 and full Mat leave August 18th at 37+1 before EDD 7th September.

Hen night last night, lots of congrats from friends seeing me in person for first time since announcing on fb (we've been so busy last two months it's crazy!) but not home and in bed until 11pm so shattered today!

 

[sansk]

Wow this thread is very quiet....

Well I got my scan and bloods done today for the downs etc test....the baby was waving it's little arms and legs about it was crazy she eventually got it to stay still long enough to take some pictures, this is my favorite as the baby has its arms out like it is wanting lifted

 

[naomi88]

Love the scan pic! I'm itching for another scan. Got 2 and a half weeks to go yet though!

How did you find the hen lander with not being able to drink? The one I organised the other week was so much fun but I had one hours sleep in total due to the hen being really sick lol!! I felt wrecked the next day because I was so tired and then was up all night with the dog being sick! Eesh.

Having another busy day in work today. Really ready for the weekend already!!

Xxx

 

[Bobby23]

Lovely scan pic Sans! I've still got over 4 weeks to wait until my next one hopefully time will fly by!

It is a quiet thread!

First day back after the Easter holidays today, a little easier coming back today knowing there is only one term left!

How's everyone else doing? Xx
