Hello ladies!

Well i'm never going to be able to catch up on personals so i'm going to just start from scratch apart from a couple of things. Though of course, LM, I can't let a comment about donkeys and sore bottoms go past without asking ????????! You realise now you're going to have to fill us in

And Grub - so close now - I can feel your excitement! Hell, i'm excited for you! You've done remarkably well my lovely to last this long at such a time without DH, my hat goes off to you. My DH and I had 12 months living apart - him in Melbourne and me in Canberra, but we spoke several times daily, and the longest we went without seeing each other was three weeks, and I thought that was the toughest time of my life (certainly didn't help in the TTC department, lol!). So well done to you.

BOC - thanks for the tip, wish it applied to us. We have our first OB appointment on December 18, and we received all our paperwork a few weeks ago, including the schedule of fees. So apart from paying for each visit we have the honour of paying her another $3000 at the 20 week mark. Amazing! I'm beginning to wish we'd gone public, my friend went public about 18 months ago and said the only thing she had to pay for was one US. Oh well, the price we pay...

And Sonyalouise - i'm SO glad to see you on here! I've been following your posts, what a time you've had, and what a story you're going to have for your little one. Will be your scan goes well tomorrow.

And of course a big hello and well wishes to everybody else. You'll have to forgive my tired sick brain for not doing more personals. We've made the move back to Canberra and are staying at my parents until we can move in to our new rental house. Still cursing DH for asking our tenants to resign another lease (we own a house here but tenants now have a lease until August...) but what can you do. Still no computer, we probably won't buy one until we move into the new place as mum and dad have several. Trying to get on is another story - my sister and her girlfriend live with my parents at the moment so it's a little full here! And i've got another sinus infection so off work for a few days.

Gosh, what a whingey post, girls, i'm actually in quite a good mood although you might not be able to tell. We hit the double digits mark this week so only another couple of weeks and we can shout it to the roof tops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We were out at dinner with some friends on our last night in Melbourne and halfway through dinner DH suddenly blurted out "lise's pregnant"! I don't know who was more shocked, them or us!!

Anyway, better go before you all fall asleep. Hope you're having a lovely day, and belly rubs to all.
