I am procrastinating , should be finishing off DHs tax but thought I would check in first. Thanks everyone for nice comments about having a little boy, I am getting really excited now. We have decided on Joseph Alan (both family names) of course unless he doesn't look like a Joseph when he comes out! Actually we had only just started thinking about names and that was the only name (boy or girl) we could come up with so so I think it's meant to be.
It's funny when you don't know what you're having you wonder about this the whole pregnancy, now that I know I find myself thinking more about 'what will he look like', 'will he look like DH or DS??'. Puts a different perspective on things I think.
Worrywart - ha ha ha about whipping those jeans off. I wonder what the Dr thought??? Hope you are feeling better, I also have a sore throat and itchy cough so annoying and it is testing out my pelvic floor big time.
Grub - for my preg with DD I exercised all the way through (did an aqua class the day I went into labour) and started back at the gym when she was only a few months old. I thought I was supermum. Then fell preg with DS and this stopped me. Just didn't have the energy. And it hasn't returned. Two will keep you busy but it is so great to see them playing games together and saying they are 'best friends'. It was then I decided that I wouldn't bother until I had finished having kids and then it will be my turn to get fit again (still don't know how I will find the time with 3 but will give it a go). Won't rush back to the gym until bub is one I think.
And I totally know what you mean about being your worst critic. We put so much pressure on ourselves to be the perfect mum, perfect wife etc. And it's not that anyone else expects it anyway. It has taken me two kids and a stunt of PND and counsellling to work out that I should just give myself a break! I'm much better at it now. And I no longer feel guilty for booking my kids into daycare one day so I can just catch up on house stuff. Like my DH says, the mum is the centre of the house and if she isn't well then the whole house suffers. He is a wise man....
Kelly, congrats on the great scan, glad to hear things are coming along nicely. Have fun telling people especially when you tell them there's two! That will be fun.....
Mitf, sorry can't help you with details on that one but I have heard something like that...
Jaki - love the name Wyatt!
Chrissie - hope the scan went well, and really hoping that you get maternity leave, what a relief that would be!
