Hi all,

You all sound well - with the exception of the swelling. I haven't had the swelling yet and fingers crossed it stays well and truely at bay, at least until final trimester when summer sets in!
My baby bump is now evident to me, all clothes are tighter and am struggling to find pants in the cupboard particularly, that i can wear comfortably all day without having to loosen the fly (iykwim). The old low hipster jeans are finding a way out of the back of my cupboard at present....not that jeans are ok at work, but they're just going to have to lump it till the school holidays when i can go to the maternity stores and get some things for the waredrobe - i figure by then, i'll have a better idea of belly growth rate and size etc.

Sazz - am jealous of your Adelaide weekend, i spent most of mine trying to stay warm from the wind and rain we had up my way! Though we did get out for some shopping, have a rocker now (man those things have changed!!) and nursery manchester, but its still early days for us so the big things we're going to wait for Christmas and post Christmas specials...am assuming there'll be some.

Ltl Panda - i can't believe you can feel bubba, i'm at 15 wks 2morrow and know it's gonna happen soon, i'm just hanging. Sometimes i'll be laying in bed at some ridiculous hour in the morning and think i feel something, but then, decide its just my body digesting dinner or dessert! It sounds wonderful the you can feel your little one moving around. I guess it gives you are sense of peace too that they're going ok.

Kotare, hope the move goes well...don't carry too many things and try to stay stress free despite house moving being a very stressful event!

Clairbear - welcome and congrat's on your news, you're more than welcome to come in a chat chat chat, that's all we do, share our bits (joys and not so joyous things), its a place you feel your not alone.

Hello to all those i've missed...take care.
