What's in a name?

The somewhat 'touchy' subject of names keeps rearing it's head! We have four or maybe five names for a girl... But none (that we agree on) for a boy!

The next question to ask is - do we find out whether bub is pink or blue?

Bump is getting bigger

It's official... Even friends are saying it (not just that I'm sticking out my belly and breathing out)

It's my friends daughters 1st birthday today... Wow how a year flys by! We bought a cute little Cardigan from
Next and a toy for bath time! She's been such a star with all the baby advice - it's so nice to have someone to turn to or moan at!

Still tired and feeling sh*tty... When does the blooming start again?!! I'm now 17weeks gone and still look like death warmed up!

Relaxing night planned this eve in front of the tv with TBK! Ooh and it's the BB final too!

Weekend...what weekend?

Had the folks (well Dad and Gran) staying this weekend.... lots of chats about baby names (I have a feeling they don't agree with ours!) Nice to see them.... but nice to have Sunday afternoon back to myself!

And can't believe the X factor is back - it's on up until Christmas (I think) I'll be over 8 months gone then! Ahhh!

Testing my new blog app!

Not sure what this will look like from a free iPhone app... But thought I'd give it a try so I can blog on the go!

Had British Golfer Karen Stupples send me a useful message on twitter! Feel honoured especially on only the second day of my tweets!

:-(

Tired and have a headache.... and got the folks visiting this weekend! :-(

Plus think I'm getting the man flu

Photo!!

16 weeks pregnant and finally I take a photograph!

Hopefully the new blog will encourage me to keep up with the pics! Did anyone else out there have a bigger or smaller bump at 16 weeks?

Finally got the new Twilight book, 'Breaking Dawn' from Amazon today.... so perhaps that will take my mind off the pregnancy for a few days!

Haven't set up a gadget yet... but I'm on Twitter @mummys_the_word

Midwife visit No 2

Met midwife no 2 (I share two midwives, Yaz and Chloe)...she was lovely and gave me loads of leaflets to take away! Also got to hear the bubs heartbeat again... which I have to say was a relief  as I tried a home doppler thing that a friend lent me and struggled to find it!

Feeling happy and healthy today... although got a partner at home with man flu. TBK is feeling very sorry for himself at the moment... separate beds tonight again as I don't want to catch it!

First Post - 16 weeks

Bub at 12 weeks
The last 10 weeks have been a real learning curve for me. I've found out what an epidural is, that if you tell a doctor your pregnant, they don't actually test you again and what NCT stands for! I have been sick every morning for about 6 weeks and lost my love for Italian food so much so that even the thought of a lasagne makes me want to heave! However after my first ultrasound scan a few weeks ago it all became real and so worthwhile. 

With this blog I want to document my pregnancy from now onwards (I'm currently 16 weeks) and hopefully give and get some tips from any mothers to be out there!

I've also set up a twitter page which I will link to this blog @mummys_the_word
