    Hi ladies - sorry, no personals again, it's been a busy day and I had my first hospital appointment this afternoon and that ended up being a bit of an ordeal (nothing serious, baby's fine, but apparently I'm very high risk for PND so they are organising a referral to the mental health ward!).

    I'll post a bit more on the weekend, hope you all had a good day

    Emma, did they get you to fill out a questionaire?? I was at a high risk of PND too and every appt I went to there was a social worker there... lol. Even with Brendans complications ect I still didn't get PND, instead I had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'm sure you will be fine. They told me when I did it that it was just a study that they are doing to try and find who is at a higher risk or not before it occurs, iykwim??

    Sally (Brendansmum) - Yeah, I remember when Ace Cinemas were located on Morrison Rd, before Midland Gate! I remember the tiny Target they had, and the small K-Mart, they've got to be bigger now! The last time I was at Midland Gate, they had only just opened the new bigger Coles down the new end with the travelators

    Wow you girls have been very busy typing away as I had like 3 pages to read hehe

    Well we went out & bought another test (first response) & i did it like 20 mins ago & within 2 mins there was 2 lines there...to me that is pretty clear that its a BFP

    My DF wants me to book an appointment next week to go to the drs to get a blood test & hopefully a referal to get a dating scan as we arent sure when to count from

    Our wedding date is set for Oct 10th 2009 so bubs will be there but im getting used to the idea & am kinda excited bout it...scared but i hear from you guys that it is natural it will be the hardest breaking it to my old sister as we always agreed that she would have the baby first but she will be happy eventually!!

    Liz- Thats ok no worries, just letting you know that its ok to call me Jo. I'm blessed with a good bubs. Yeah i often wonder what i'd be doing now if i didnt have Sophie and i just cant imagine it. As you say theres plenty of time for more bubbas for you & DF. My dads mellowed even more so since he turned 50 his looking forward to having a little mate to watch the sports with.

    Sally- no problem you've got a gorgeous little man i dont mind telling you haha.

    Sal- to you love, dont stress yourself too much. Silly questionaires grrr, they made me fill one of them out. At my appts at the hospital they also gave me funny looks because i look younger than i am plus i had no ring (at the time) and Chris had to work so he couldnt go with me to my appts early on, they seemed to assume i was a young teenage mother who was only interested in the baby bonus haha how wrong they were when she read my DOB haha.

    Trini- woohoo get yourself off to the dr and get that dating scan booked, oh i'm so excited for you. Feeling scared after testing is normal i was a bit scared at what Chris would say because the day i found out Chris went to work and i said i'd go to the dr later on so he rung asking what the dr said and i said i'll tell you when you get home but he kept ringing and ringing until i FINALLY told him just to stop him calling he went quiet and said we'd talk when he got home. But as soon as he got home he had a smile on his face and he is still smiling now.

    Liz, Coles is still where it used to be... Target is slighly bigger. but not much. Big W and Woolies are now opposite each other at the new end of the shops. Kmart didn't change at all! They have a new mothers room too which isn't much bigger but is heaps better!! All the shops are right there in a "one stop shop" lol. I dont go there that often though. I like the Target over in cannington, carousel. And the cinema there is nicer too!!!


    gee it's been a while since I've been to the movies. Might have to go this sat... Nigel gets his tat done (finally!) so his mum is looking after Brendan and I'm going with nigel (no children allowed at the tat place)
