Hi Leasha, thank you for the welcome. I have been all over the boards over the past few days and have enjoyed your posts about you and Shel and Jazzy (she's gorgeous btw).

It is strange to be at this point 'all of a sudden' as we attended our first lesbian parenting seminar about 14 years ago in Leichhardt... yes i AM a procrastinator but seriously the years just flew by before we realised!

Anyway, we are crossing everything for this to 'take' although we are aware that we would have to be pretty lucky for it to happen first time around (i know it happens, but i didn't win $90 million last week either!)

So all the best to your family and i shall keep you posted.

Hi Monkeygem,
I just read your post. Hope all is going well,
My partner and I are expecting our first lil bub I am 15 weeks pregnant.
All of our friends expected that we would have a lil one soon as we have been together 6 years this month.
My other half was very much the same as you, poking and proding me and asking me every 5 minutes if I felt the tiniest bit sick.
When do you test???
Fingers crossed for you both

Hi B,

Congratulations... how exciting! Well if you are 15 weeks then we are 10 weeks behind you... your finger crossing must have worked.

We have just found out (test came back POSITIVE on friday YAY!!!) that we are due mid March 2010!!!

It is a bit of a shock once you realise that it is 'real' even though 'the magic pendulum' told us that Elsie was pregnant EVERY time we checked (and we checked a lot!) 'The magic Pendulum ALSO tells us EVERY time we check that we are having a boy (let the battle of the names begin)

All the best
