    HotI: I totally get what you mean hahaha! I LOVE birthing babies now! it is totally the coolest thing a human being can do IMHO. but yeah, the post birth thing of recovery and (for me) stress about PND etc and the whole newborn adjustment is another story hahaha.

    Congrats Cricket!!! Another little bug on its way.

    (Although I must admit I am now at the stage where AF is a relief each month... )

    I'll just hang around and see if the same bug catches us in a couple of years, if you don't mind.

    DD2 had her birthday party on the weekend and had a ball. It's fun having a one year old around again. Makes me look forward to all the things I know are coming in the next couple of years that we enjoyed so much with DD1.

    Must get to work now, the holidays are pretty much over for me!

    Yay 2 hb pg announcements for 2013 and we are only one week in!
    Huge congratulations to WM and cricket, hoping for happy healthy pregnancies for you both

    LBF I haven't had a lot of experience with heartburn but other than just bicarb you can get eno which is actually just bicarb, sodium carbonate and citric acid but has a lemony flavour so its kinda easier to drink than just plain bicarb

    Cassius thanks for thinking of me sweet. I'm doing alright, somedays I get a little down and worry about her quite a bit but I'm definitely trying to do all I can to help things along. Have ultrasound booked for Thursday week so i guess ill know at least a little more by then. On the plus side I can definitely feel a lot more movement now so she's strong enough to kick through and around anterior placenta now, that eases some worry usually

    Sara hope you're feeling well and more relaxed about things as each day passes.

    Jennifer hang around as long as you want (in my opinion!) your experience encouragement and insight are bound to keep helping women in here!

    Thanks for the congrats ladies. This was a bit of a shock to us - we were hoping for a LITTLE more time in between babies, but I am healthy and strong, back below my pre-pregnant weight (it's been a 10 year battle, interrupted by pregnancy... Finally at a healthy weight now!) and starting to wrap my mind around the news. Doing a little online shopping/looking at all the cute maternity stuff available this season. I'm hoping for an early dating scan, and if all is well there, then we might go ahead an announce this bean to friends and family. Trying to hide morning sickness while caring for 6 small people is going to be tough!

    WM - Congratulations to you too! Glad to have a HB belly buddy.
