who wouldve thought id end up loving my belly. I think its great now its definitely poking out its all big and hard and i feel like im actually pregnant now i kind of look it, before i looked and felt crummy everyone thought id let myself go, now they can see its for a reason. Its not huge cant wait for it to grow more. Ok true never had one before so dont know if ill feel the same way in a few months when i can barely walk but for now im loving my bump, even getting used to the big boobs too!

On the down side ive had a major acne out break i look like a dalmation, spots everywhere. Ah well thank goodness for concealer eh!

knowing that we can walk about with our tummies poking out and not having to breathe in ;0)

I just wish mine would get bigger !! The boobs are great, I can now wear tops that don't flap about at the top as I have something to fill them now - its great!!

Feeling great at the moment! Have you felt movements yet like little flicks??

a kinda wriggling, rolling sensation in my bump - usually when i have just got to bed and am lying on my back. it's not comfy to sleep like that, but i like lying like that for a while as i can feel the baby more

my husband said he could feel something move in there too - which was nice!

18 weeks!

i know what you mean!
i'm loving my tummy too, have to remind myself i don't need to hold it in lol
yeah, we'll probably not be quite so enthusiastic nearer the end of term :P

have you started getting any stretch marks? i think i've got a couple on my hips, but then again, i think they are old ones from when i was really overweight - they almost dissappeared, which was nice i better start using a really good oil or something though, don't suddenly want to be covered in them!

have you decided on finding out the sex of the baby yet?

any birthday plans?

my skin has cleared up now, but in the first trimester i had them all over!

do you ever look down and think 'oh my god, my boobs are huge'? :P i keep getting a surprise :P

warm weather over there? it's getting really chilly here now, though still having the odd sunny day, which is nice

huge hugs

take lots of care

I know i want my bigger too! When do you think it really pokes out? Im hoping 5 6 months and itll be all big and round. I havent felt any movments yet well nothing i think is the baby any way, i know its still early and it all depends on where babys lying and placenta apparently, i dont know where mine is im hoping when i get to 20wks i should feel something at least.

I havent got any stretch marks yet, i got a cream from boots i got a voucher for ill start using from now just in case, yeah my boobs do still shock me i mean they are huge but im learning to live with them and they dont even get in my way when i sleep any more, ive worked around them haha. my spots left but theyre back with avengeance now i think its that and this cream im using is too oily, not a good mixture, i want to be glowing darn it. My nails are nice and strong though growing well.

yeah were going to find out the sex at 22 weeks as OH couldnt wait the whole 9 months, me im not too bothered but it will be nice to know and the scan guy said 22wks they should definitely be able to tell.
No idea what to do for bday, a glass of orange juice and a simple meal as im still off most things, dont think itll be a roaring celebration, i get tired after 12 hours sleep!
Its very stuffy now and it will get hotter dry season starts in october so i am going to be dying im so hot heat didnt use to affect me so much, im not looking forward to it much!
