BW - I've got an appointment with Leah tomorrow, finally. I haven't been since April. I hope you're feeling better.

BeiBei - congratulations on 8 weeks!!! yay!!! Another milestone! I'm glad you're feeling more positive about things - we're all thinking of you and here for you. Take care of yourself. I hope your m/s is still there - I think it's got to be a good sign. My Ob always seemed very pleased that I was feeling sick in the earlier weeks.

Mako - Congrats on 22 weeks - how exciting!! I'm almost 20 weeks and very excited about that. My DH can already feel our little bean sometimes. I can feel him/her quite a bit and every now and then DH feels it from the outside too. I'm sure your DH will feel him soon!! So glad to hear your Nan is ok and the op went well, that's great news. Very jealous of your shopping spree - it sounds like you're very organised! We really need to start... we have to move house next week so once we're in and settled we'll be going shopping!! Woo hoo!!

Monnie - how exciting that you might be holding your little baby in your arms in 3 weeks!!! It must be quite a surreal thought... I'm very excited for you and look forward to seeing photos of your little one. You sound like you've got a bit to do - shopping and work - good luck with it all. And what a bummer about the reno's not being done yet. As you say though - what can you do!!! It will all work out in the end.

Ltl Panda - hello! That's great news that your spotting has stopped. And I can't believe you're already getting comments on your belly - you might find that it goes back down for a bit before popping back out, that's what mine did. When I tell people I'm pregnant they say oh, really, you don't look it! I'm just starting to pop this week though, well I feel that I am anyway! It is so exciting being pregnant isn't it?!

Sazzafrazz - glad to hear you're feeling so good. Lucky you!!

Keen, hi!

Well I'm really tired today, I had a really bad nights sleep, well I couldn't get to sleep. I had a ripper headache yesterday afternoon and then felt sick in the tummy as well... I've never had headaches like the ones I've had since being pregnant, they're terrible. I'm not sure if it's from my computer at work. Did you know that being pregnant affects your eyesight?? I read it in what to expect when you're expecting - something to do with the extra fluid in your body??? Anyway, I'm still waiting for that 2nd trimester energy boost - I still feel tired most of the time and headaches are a common problem... BUT, regardless of all that - I am SO happy to be pregnant - and to be hitting the 1/2 way mark on Monday!!!! I'm feeling my little one so much now, most evenings when I lay down and in the mornings in bed - it's so incredible, I love it!! What an amazing journey....

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
