LM, Boc is totally right. Babies love, nay, NEED ice-cream. That is what makes them so sweet when they come out. Well, that and candy, cake and cream-filled pastries. Do not deny yourself. In my first 3 months my legs, butt and boobs went gargantuan. I gained 21.3 kg in 13 weeks. (ok I was preg with twins for half that time) but my body realised it was pregnant straight away and wanted to store fat in case of famine and for BF. Since then I have not put on much at all and its all about the belly now. DH says that I needed to add more booty and boobs for balance, that I would be toppling forwards had I not, lol.
One (awful) thing though, itching is the first sign of stretchmarks. It could be that you are about to get a couple of teeny ones around your cute little bellybutton.
AFM- bloody well moving house. Our lease was up and our current house is not suitable for waddling pregnant mamas or babies. We thought it best we go now and just get it over with. Luckily we found a great house to move into however our current landlords are furious we are moving out (as they are travelling around Australia in a motor home) as they have to come back and re-tenant the house. Not our problem as there is a little thing called a LEASE *sammie rolls eyes* which means we are free and clear to move, but still they are being VERY snarky about it.
3 years ago when we got the keys and started moving in, it was the 17th of January. They - the landlords- gave us a couple weeks for "free" (not really as the condition was if we bought 2 of their fridges that they couldnt sell in the trading post for $900 then we could get the keys straight away)
Well it was so long ago and the date of the 17th of jan has stuck in my mind ever since. We stupidly assumed that they would just start the lease from the date we moved in, the 17th of jan, and then just not charge for rent until the 1st of feb. We signed and dated everything the 17th of jan but didnt double check start lease date (which was on another page) After that we just verbally agreed to continue the lease for another year and they wrote a fairly informal letter which we signed in front of a JP. We have been perfect tenants and have never been late with the rent or damaged anything.
So, after all this, we timed everything, like using up our 2 weeks in advance, for the 17th of Jan. We sent the right amount of notice to the landlords and everything did everything correctly. Got an email from them this morning. We have to keep paying until the 31st. GRRRRRRR. We are out about $1000. We are going to be FLAT BROKE for a while as we had to pay the bond and rent in advance for the new place and are doubling up on nearly a months rent. I tell you what though, we are leaving things in here and not getting the cleaning done until THE VERY VERY END cos the landlords think they are going to get new tenants in here asap as we will essentially be gone by the 17th. NOT HAPPENING. Also I am going to make them give the proper amount of notice each and every they want to bring people through before the 31st. I know I am being a b with an itch but I cant help it. I am genetically predisposed to it lol.
On a more positive note, I am finally over the worst of the grieving for my fur-baby. I miss him heaps and cant look at pictures yet but I am over the gut-wrenching sobbing and pain. Cant say the same for my kitty-cat. She is pining terribly. Weird really as she HATED him when was around. Nearly clawed his eyes out on numerous occasions. I am hoping the change of environment will do her good and she will get back to eating and being mean. All this silent moping and staring at where Lil B used to sit is disturbing. I am positively FREAKED at how she wont yowl for food every couple of hours and how affectionate she is being. A total change in personality...
Hugs and belly rubs to all you sweet girls,
Sammie
