    hahaha!!! Thanks!! It seems weird that we are actually getting married Friday to be honest!! We have been together for 6 years and we have just been too busy until now!! We eventually had to organise it because we wanted to book in a holiday that needed almost a year's notice... so it was a good excuse!! Dress is a gorgeous a-line strapless ivory dress... gathers over one hip with a brooch... very simple, very classic wedding dress!! We are getting married here at Shorncliffe overlooking the jetty with just close family... very intimate!! Will be fun!

    hahaha!!! Yeah I know, working from home rocks... I love it!! Perfect for morning sickness and for when the little one comes!

    We have one medium/small sized bitsa and also a Hungarian Vizsla... here is a link to a few photos of him on the breeder's page... they have been our "children" for so long now lol!! Vizslajoy - Family Any idea what sort of dog you want?

    hahahaha!!! Yeah I don't blame you for already having purchased things... my future mother-in-law has been buying up stuff for years in anticipation for this lil one hehe!!

    Yeah this is our first! Time was right... tried for three months before one caught... first few months were a bit crazy though because my hormones coming off the pill went nuts lol!! My acupuncturist/naturopath ended putting me on Vitex (chaste tree extract) and I fell straight away thankfully! Really really excited!! How about you? Is this your first too?

    Sounds gorgeous! You will have the best day!

    Ralph is beautiful!!! I love him! lol I really want a bullterrier as I grew up with pig dogs so I like loyal dogs you can rough up! My boyfriends wants a husky..we might end up with two!

    Yes this is my first lol.. Wasn't planned at all but was a lovely surprise. We're both over the moon. Tim (my boyfriend) is so excited, its hilarious. I'm only 21 so I'm quite a young mum but a bit of a homebody anyway so it won't be a huge change for us!

    So where are you going for your honeymoon/holiday?

    haha!! Yeah Ralph is a bit of a clown!! And I bet you do end up with 2 dogs!!! hehe!! You guys will find a way to justify it!!

    Yeah we are the same as you guys, homebodies lol!! It seems the "time was right" whether it was planned or not hey!! Very exciting!! And there are actually quite a few 21 year olds in our Belly Buddy group!!

    We are off to Bedarra Island, up off Cairns and on the reef... we have a private part of the island all to ourselves, private beaches, staff leave us alone... perfect!!! We can't wait!! We have been looking forward to this holiday for soooooo long!!!

    Heidi ~ Firstly congratulations on your pregnancy. I too had noticed changes early & i deffinatly started popping at 7 weeks. I'm now constantly getting comments as i'm apparently rather big for 11 weeks I had to start using a belly belt at 7 weeks.

    Thankyou - you too!

    Yes sometimes I think I'm subconciously sticking my belly out but then I can't do my pants up so it must not just be me!
    We're lucky its coming into the warmer months! That means loose flowy maxi dresses and bikinis yay!

    Is this your first? Are you going to find out what you're having?

    I've always felt this way & DH feels the same to. We both want the surprise at the birth of finding out if we have a son or a daughter. Wow that felt strange to type, i just can't wait to meet our precious little baby.

    Our bubs will arrive not only just in time for Mothers day(fingers crossed) but also just before my 35th birthday too. So i'll be blessed with a child for a early birthday present.

    Heidi, yes I had natural births, drug free water births. It does hurt but it is a good pain. Dont worry, you will be able to make the choices you want for your birth, and you will do just fine. It is not the means, but the prize that matters most.

    Blueiris - What a fantastic present that would be! My boyfriends birthday is about a week before my bub is due, he's kind of hoping it will be early so he can have the baby as his birthday present!

    Alioops - What exactly does a waterbirth mean? I'm a bit confused?

    Heidi - a waterbirth is when a baby is born in a bath or bithing pool.
