YAY! So Princess, you'll know in 4 weeks...and I will too!!! Yippee!!! The u/s place I have here will only do scans for gender past 20w, so I'm going to lie()and book it for 19w LOL! They don't need to know I should know by the very end of November. I'm doing the same thing about the excitement. I keep dreaming about my girl and then giving myself a pinch to wake myself up...I will be pretty crushed if this is a boy in 4 weeks time Oh well....c'est la vie. You'll have to tell me when your appt is booked for! So excited for you, Mama!!! xoxo

DM - I can't stop eating either. I never got the m/s, which means I've been eating like a pig since day 1. Yesterday I got Arby's for lunch and had a large sandwich, fries AND deep fried mozzarella sticks .

Add me to the 'can't stop eating' list. Some of it is to keep nausea at bay, some of it is just me being a big pig!

Congrats on 20 weeks ELP!

Who's got a bump photo to share yet?!

[DoulaMama]

So happy that I'm not alone in my eating!
Not pregnancy related but had to vent...
My kids are late risers but for the past 3 days they've been waking WAY too early for some strange reason. This morning I found my 5yo camped out in front of the tv at 6am! He doesn't wake until 8am! He then screamed bloody murder when we turned the tv off and put him back in his room, which woke ALL of us up. To top it off my kids then mucked around by the computer and broke the modem. And they haven't stopped fighting all morning. Kill me now Other than playgrounds(it's too freaking cold here already) what do you guys do with your kids for energy burning??? I need to tie them to a treadmill or something!!!

[DoulaMama]

Yay for 20 weeks ELP!!! Woohoo! 5 weeks behind you!!!! Makes me excited!

I do have a bump already but it's an "I was already overweight and had a belly" kind of bump
Maybe I'll post some pics if you promise not to laugh... Or cringe...

DM, I cannot imagine how cold Canada gets!!! We have ours home for the 1/2 term break this week and we've had rain all week, mine have been crazy too!! They stand there and say 'I'M BORED!!!' whilst surrounded by flippin mess!! Luckily today we had sun, so they got thrown straight out to the park at the front of the house thank goodness lol. But a tread mill isn't actually a bad idea, they would think it was great fun wouldn't they and not realise that we was secretly wearing them out, cunning!!!!

[zanacal]

I won't do either DM, promise! I took my biggest 2 boys out this morning and now I'm exhausted - I just had a big nap on the sofa and it's made me feel even more tired, so we won't be going anywhere this afternoon! It's lovely and sunny out though, so I think I'll sit in the garden while they play. We have a big ugly trampoline (I swore I'd never get one!) so when they start jumping up and down on the sofa I can tell them to go and jump on the trampoline instead!

My scan date still hasn't come in the post, so annoying, I just want to know when it is so I can count down (and arrange childcare and/or time off work!).

[ELP]

And thanks ladies! I can't believe I'm 1/2 way! Still flab over baby belly though so any pics will still have to wait
