So i was going to post a gorgeous photo of Neice Sydney meeting baby Joshua on Sunday but its on my phone, as soon as i get chance i'll put it on!
In the meantime to answer some comments, no i havent had any weird cravings as yet but i have gone off meat a little bit, the strange thing is its only proper pieces of meat for example a chicken breast or a chop etc
Put a burger or a crappy sausage in front of me and i'm quite happy lol
I've also started eating stuff i used to eat which i havent for ages because they were snacky type things i had as a quick fix when i lived alone and obviously i dont live alone anymore and Chris wouldnt eat them anyway!
As for movement, yes you'll be pleased to know there is plenty, as i am sitting here typing this baby is happily kicking away :0)
Chris has just about managed to feel 2 kicks on the outside the other day but they are still pretty much only felt by me.
The baby is VERY high up so i dont have a massive belly, if i'm honest it just looks like the flab i had before! I am sure when it drops i will look like i have ballooned overnight!
I have the midwife tomorrow morning for the normal check up and quick listen to the heartbeat and then on Monday morning i have to have the test to see if i have gestational diabetes
This means from 10pm Sunday night i can have nothing but "plain water" then i go to the hospital Monday morning for a glucose drink to see if i fall over!!
We're not particularly concerned about it, i havent shown any symptoms so far but my brother was diabetic and my dad had middle aged onset diabetes so its just a precaution.
I have only yesterday begun to get swollen ankles which i'm amazed at as i sit on my backside at a desk all day but hey ho swollen ankles, heartburn and tiredness arent really much to complain about (unless i'm really tired lol)
I have just over 11 weeks left and i'm already bored, just over 8 weeks left at work and counting the days, no doubt when baby comes i'll be rushed off my feet and wishing i were back in work!

A friend of mine, vegetarian for YEARS started eating sausage of all things when she was pregnant. We are ruled by those little babies so it seems!
Ohhhhhh it's so exciting!!! Hope you will be ok on monday!
Paragraph 9 is probably a pointer to the future. From 10 p.m. Sunday you'll most likely have every craving imaginable. Giraffe marinaded in Fairy Liquid, Camembert and chocolate sauce drizzled over a stuffed fox, oxtail and cherry flavour ice cream topped with Russell Brand's dandruff... Need I go on?
And, just to add some, and while I might just be a little remiss in having missed the occasional update, have you thought about names yet?
yes i would enjoy all this free time while you can! great to hear everything is going well
Oh yes - if you think you're tired now...!!!
how exciting! hey, swollen ankles better than no ankles...
wow... i cannot believe how time has flown!!!
