lise! what fantastic news! i watched P&P last weekend lol. enjoyed it very muchly despite the fact i've seen it a million times. i always feel all romantic after watching it!
i'm glad your HB was good, even if there was just the one!
to answer your question - my DH is in the defence force and was sent away for an 8week training course, due home 10 days before bub is due! eeek. we don't live near any family or friends and i've just started mat leave - so its.... ummm... an interesting time! but all is well, just a bit lonely and why you'll probably find me on here... a lot lol.
as for gender/names ... the majority of girls have decided to find out the sex. some choose the name and share, others (like me) just give our bub a nickname (bluey or grubby bub is our bub's name for now lol). It's completely up to you what you do - you won't get any pressure here to reveal name/gender etc and you'll get heaps of support if you choose to share.
my DH really wanted to find out... he felt it was giving him some control over something in our journey for a child. i would have been happy to not find out, but unfortunately I just "knew" from about 6 weeks that it was a boy. the scan just really confirmed it, but i was 100% certain it was a boy (mother's instinct lol). am glad we know tho, as i've been able to really buy plenty of stuff
If I've missed anything or you have more to add, let me know!

I'm back to do this wee little post and my sincerest apologies if I have missed anyone's amazing news or heartbreak. I haven't read anything yet but I will. I have forgotten how to do anything but be absolutely mind-blowingly in love and blissed out.
Our little tiny girl was born weighing in at 2.44kg (5.5 pounds)and is now trying to get back up to 2.3 kilos after her initial loss. I'm sorry to say that we had a very traumatic and scary birth experience. I won't be posting a birth story as it's all a bit raw at this stage, but we are through it and out the other side and on our way to complete recovery and happiness. I kick myself that I didn't go private and didn't get those scans I so desperately wanted as Jasmine was born with the cord wrapped around her neck three times! My uterus was also the wrong shape and my placenta not functioning. so if in doubt, my advice, is check it out. Trust your instincts.
anyway, we are out of danger and home now just loving life. I had to fight my way out of hospital, only to be released to one closer to home and then still have to report in her growth progress to the clinic but it is fantastic. I never could have believed that you could enjoy every poo, every wee and every breath. I'm going now....or you know there will be tears. Love to you all,
Ange. xoxox
