   Well...I am a bit bigger now but not big enough (I feel). My Doc and midwife say I am the right size...hmmm
 I still haven’t bought any maternity cloths......but have decided that I now need to (as the two remaining pants that use to fit me are getting a bit too tight).
 
 My mum think I am hardly showing still...I think people who don’t know I am pregnant still think I am FAT ...he he ha ha. 
 
 I am starting to get a few stretch marks on top half of my tummy so I guess I am about to get bigger??!! But I sure feel heavy!!!

   Hrmm Janine, can't help but thinking that Paris being sick was maybe why she wasn't eating properly? Or has it been going on for ages?
 Found anything out yet?

   lol, Roksana - my tummy just went from nothing to the biggest thing in the world overnight almost!! I still haven't got any stretch marks but I am not holding my breath - still 4 weeks to go and I am sure they will kick in soon!  Have been really good about putting stuff on my belly though, even though that isn't supposed to work....
 
Janine - I hope Mike doesn't get home tooooo late, I hate it when Peter goes out by himself, lol, I can never sleep until he gets home!

   I started getting stretch marks really early..on the bottom half of my tummy and now I am getting a few on the top half....I have to go and get some cream to help with that.
 
Mum says my skin is not very flexible....so I am getting stretch marks....that could be why I am not huge yet...but just like you Ana, I have a feeling that I will wake up one day and have a massive tummy..lol
   
Gosh 4 weeks to go for you....wow!!!

   Ana, 2 pregnancies later I don't have any stretch marks on my tummy... just some on my breasts, thighs and bum.  You may not get any either!

   try palmers cocoa butter formula.. it's great, i used it from the start both times though, but it's not too late cos it can help the ones you do have fade as well as making skin beautifully soft and it smells so yummy.
 I don't have any stretch marks either, it's great.
 Roksana, they say that people with stronger abdominal muscles can show later, and the muscles don't stretch as readily.. i must say that was the case for me with my first pregnancy, after beinga gymnast for over 11 years i think that has helped alot with being fit for pregnancy.
 ha ha, becks, Paris is on amoxicillan too at the mo for a sore throat. still waiting on results of wee-test lol, but pretty sure it will come back as a uti. and yep she's starting to eat again, omigod i even got her to eat apple this morning! only 2 pieces, but still it's a start.. lets just wait and see how she does with the veges i plan to give her tonight.

   yep, that cocoa butter formula is great, I have been using Clarins toning aromatherapy stuff most of the pregnancy but I did go through a tube of that palmers one at the start.
 
becca - that would be a miracle, my mum has really bad ones, isn't it supposed to be genetic??  I wouldn't mind not getting any though

   I had hideous stretch marks after Maya was born, like big fat worms, probably because I didn't put anything on them, but now I use the Body Shop Body Butters and they have faded (with time) to almost non existent.
