Well talk about being at the mercy of your pregnancy hormones! Having gotten very upset with my husband early in evening (over nothing much really but susshh we won't tell him that;)) I watched Prime Time last night and found myself starting to find Simon Covney terribly attractive.
Shocking carry on all together.
Granted it would have been a whole other kettle of fish if it had been Shane Ross or Mick Wallace:eek:0 -

Simon isnt bad looking in fairness to him, now what is really disturbing is having naughty dreams about a certain donald trump, omg the shock i got when i woke up, my husband found it really amusing, `took me a while to get over that, what is it with pregnancy and weird dreams, mad stuff0 -

Suddenly I feel all kinds of ok about Simon.
:D Naughty dreams about The Donald:eek: I laughed so much at that I had to confess what I was reading to the woman I share my office with! 0 -

Appledrop there's a thread on newborn and toddlers board about bottle feeding etc and a few people mentioned those machines, might be worth a read!
We picked up an absolute bargain the other day, got a second hand out and about nipper for €150, we nearly ran out the door before she changed her mind it's perfect, don't think it was used much and she wanted rid as it was taking up space. Delighted! Looking forward to summer walks with my two girls
my sis in law gave us her co sleeper aswell and I'm thrilled, I wasn't a mad fan of the Moses basket and she said the sleeper makes breastfeeding all the easier so am very glad of it. Just a sling to pick up now, am going to go to a sling meet or two and see what suits us.
Hope the backs improve soon girls, the pain is lousy you have my sympathies. Rest is so important (easier said than done when you're working full time I know!) I was off for two weeks with that flu and my pelvis was so much the better for it, back with a bang this week though.
Shivers time really is flying. I'm in single digits, 8 weeks!! My belly button popped out this week and has heightened my daughters fascination with this whole pregnancy thing! She thinks it's hilarious.
Hmmmm Simon coveney and Donald trump I'm not too sure..... Tom hardy on the other hand, he's welcome in my dreams any day!0 -

Difene gel? Doc told me anti inflammatories of any kind were a big no no. He even advised against the likes of deep heat. I've been taking paracetamol and have had a hot water bottle glued to my back constantly.
It's mad how you get such conflicting advice once pregnant isn't it? One person says something is fine and another tells you no way. There's no straight answer once you mention pregnancy
Someone once said to me that if you tried to buy a bar of chocolate in the Chemist and they found out you were pregnant they'd tell you that you couldn't have it.
Difene is out I'm afraid but the cream I mentioned before - mentol and wintergreen (you can get it in Boots and most good pharmacies) is allowed (according to two pharmacists I spoke to anyway) and I used it a lot during my last pregnancy and am doing so again in this one. There have been zero ill affects as a result.
My ankles are killing me. Its weird. I started to get swollen ankles only two weeks before my daughter was born last time out (33/34 weeks when that started) so its a lot earlier this time (25/26 weeks now).
Granted I didn't help the situation last night by picking my little girl up from the minder at 6pm and not actually sitting down until 9:30pm - was busy putting her to bed, doing laundry, making dinner, ironing, etc. Husband having a week of it at work and he wasn't home until 10pm either.
Decided to be sensible today though and dragged out the super sexy pregnancy support stockings. :eek: They're hidden under my trousers though so only I will know about what lurks beneath.:D0 -

This is so true Penny. When I had the bad chest infection in January + I originally thought it was just a cold I thought it was mad that there was no over the counter remedies that you could take. My local pharmacist is very nice and he was explaining that with a lot of products there is no evidence that they do any harm but because they don't have enough evidence/research the chemists/ companies have to cover themselves by saying not to take them during pregnancy.0 -

Definitely nothing you've done hazelnut, don't be hard on yourself. I know a few people who've had it and it's just bad luck and pretty random selection. My cousin was literally the fittest and healthiest eater I know and had it on two pregnancies and didn't on her last so it seems you're either predisposed to it or you aren't. You'll be absolutely fine and will probably get extra peaks at baby because of it.
My daughter was just the cutest this morning when she saw the snow, she was all wow Mammy it's like "let it go" outside, kept asking for Elsa on the way to her minders
House of cards season 4 out of Netflix, ridiculously excited about this. A weekend of tea and couch in my future.0 -

Weird pregnancy dreams continue.
Last night I was at the Oscars after party which took place on a boat for some reason. I was there with Cate Blanchette and a few other famous women that I can't remember. My dress was fabulous and although I was still pregnant that dress was so wonderful it made me look not at all pregnant. It was like one of those from the Chanel perfume ads.
If only life was that kind eh?:D
I met Eddie Redmayne while at the party and all he wanted to do was chat to me about his wife and her pregnancy. He was a very nice man in my dream - I actually think he comes across as being quite nice in real life anyway. He also kept giving me frogs legs in garlic butter to eat. They were very nice in my dream. In real life its been donkey's years since I ate them.0 -

Funny you mention Pippa Appledrop as I would suggest following her blog for inspiration. I have bought a few things off the back of her recommendations which are a mix of maternity and normal clothes. She really has a knack for picking up smart buys. Alot of the normal clothes she wears are cut cleverly, slits up the side etc so I find I can stay my normal size and they allow for bump. I am a similar build and height to Pippa though so maybe that's why her stuff works for me, if you are a bit shorter maybe as Penny suggested check out a petite maternity range.
Downfall of Pippa is she doesn't exactly cater for formal office wear, for work I have a few maternity bits but have found two non maternity bandage black skirts I had pre pregancy have served me very well, the extra stretch allows for bump and fits me as normal on the thighs and legs etc
On my last pregnancy I found myself hating my formal work clothes. It made no sense, I bought maternity work clothes and I know they were comfortable and all that carry on but I hated them with a passion.
I feel the same this time too. Luckily I've been quiet enough of late at work and have had next to no meetings and have an office to myself most of the time. As a result I'm here in my jeans (they're dark dark blue so look formal enough) and a navy and white striped jumper which would be passable..........if I hadn't decided to also wear my blue and white spotty runners. 0 -
Your dreams are very exciting! I'm the complete opposite lately, either I'm not dreaming or completely forgetting them as soon as I was up
They are now. At the start of my pregnancy they were horrible and made me really really anxious. Usually I'm a champion sleeper and have no issues at all but on each pregnancy I have had really anxious dreams at the start of the pregnancy and then they just go from the sublime to the ridiculous once I hit about 25 weeks plus.0 -

I am ridiculously jealous
I'm just about getting away with not wearing heels in here
Very formal in my workplace, full suit and tie for the men and equivalent for the women. We meet clients alot. I can't even picture my boss in jeans at the weekend, swear he sleeps in a suit:D 0
