mosaneo i think it`s the pregnancy coz my relationship with my manager went down the drain and literally. we fought regularly and she made me sick.it`s better now but she still rubs me up the wrong way.

Dont make any drastic moves Mosaneo it will calm down in time. i had a resignation letter typed up and all but the bond,cars etc was the motivation to stay. i wasnt about to have a baby without a salary.

Good Morning Ladies

Babyzee i guess you are patient to be fine with team yellow, anyways congrats, at least the baby is fine and active.

Ooh the big boobs are nice but they ich and mine do not want to stay in my bra anymore.

Palesa good luck with the job hunting, its stressful. I am also looking for a job, i hate my current one, i cannot stand my boss, coming to the office is so stressful. I wish i could stay at home and start looking for a job next year. i hate the environment, it just makes me sick, ever since i fell preggers.

Finding out early makes the pregnancy longer, i count everyday and i wish my doctor could write for me to take six months maternity leave cause i cant stand this place or maybe i will have resigned. the problem is that my hubby wont afford to pay for my monthly expenses, the car especially.

So nice to see some movement on this thread

Palesa, I also found out that I was pregnant very early on - I was just about 4 weeks. Definitely a long walk but hey, here we are!
Don't worry too much about the bump. I understand everybody wants to have a lovely bump to show off but as long as baby is growing, don't worry too much.
It is definitely hard finding a job while pregnant but everything will come when the time is right, just hold on!

Ms_S, I know my gynae said one cup of coffee a day is fine but I just can't get myself to drink it & the smell of coffee is driving me insane
Thanks for the laugh about going from B cup to D.........My hubby also loves it & I can't complain myself......

babyzee, glad all is well with baba. Just sorry that you couldn't see the sex. So team yellow it is.

Ms_S - whahahaha, I also admire them! I love having breasts!

Palesa, job hunting is not fun! Looking for work while you pregnant is so stressful, I don't know how you managing. Good luck with everything.

Mandri, only us flat chested girls understand the excitement of suddenly having bigger breasts! I constantly find myself admiring them, cos I've been waiting for a growth spurt for a very long time.

Babyzee, I wanted a chicken wrap so bad when I was at home, but all dh wanted was vienna parcels and gatsbys! When we eventually went to nandos I wasn't really hungry, and just had chicken wings. Congrats on team yellow btw

Palesa I'm sure you will! And its going to happen over night, cause that is what happened to me sometime between taking a pic last week and this week, don't even know when it happened!
