Sazz Make sure you use lots of moisturiser on your tummy hun. I do this morning and night when I get out of the shower. Try not to scaratch either as I've heard this can make the stretchies come out.

Sonya Enjoy all that food while you can sweety. I found I was very hungry early on too and then it eased of a bit during the 2nd tri and I'm starving again in the 3rd although I can't eat a main meal as I feel full not long after I start so I find that I tend to graze alot now. Don't worry about how much or how little weight you put on either cause as long as you and bub are healthy thats all that matters in the end. I have to say that I've put on just 6kg in 33 weeks so I'm pretty happy with that.

Ltl Panda What a lovely thing you and your dh are doing with your embies hun. I'm sure you will make some other couple very grateful and happy. Well done. Wow your almost 20 weeks already. All the best for your scan next Thursday.Are you going to find out if your bub is a B or a G?

DJ I hope your last week at work is not too stressful sweety. Not too long to go now. Have you got your nursery sorted out yet?

Marcellus Enjoy your new jeans hun. I have been living in mine lol. I've now moved on to my 3/4 jeans as the weather is warming up although the button stays undone most of the time lol. Lucky my tops are long enough to cover that bit.

Kimbe All the best for your scan too. Its such an exciting time seeing our little ones and how much they've grown.
I was like you about the antenatal classes too. I've worked with babies and kids of all ages for years and had a very good idea of what to expect but dh on the other hand had no experience whatsoever so we mainly went for him but he didn't enjoy them either. Oh well atleast we went and weren't left wondering if we did the right thing or not kwim?

Claire I'm thinking of you today hun. Take care.

Not much going on here. I'm washing more of Bubs clothes and sheets and wraps etc today. I figure I should do this while the weather is good.
Still a bit unsure of when to finish up at work. I'm finding that I'm getting rather tired very easily these days so we'll see how I go over the next few weeks. Not sure if I'll be working during the school hols yet as it depends on how many kids book in for intensive lessons and if we need to have 2 teachers or just 1. Should know more tomorrow I guess.
Anyway take care everyone.
