I've just had the best day! We ended up shopping for 6 hours and I'm exhausted now, though!

The exciting things - my friend is still absolutely determined, thrilled and excited to be on my birth support team! I'd asked her about 10 years ago when DH and I first got engaged and she'd really only just got started in studying medicine, and we talked about it again when the PCOS diagnosis came through and I picked her brain with all sorts of questions... and now that we are finally here I was terrified to ask if she still wanted to be there for me. She was my maid of honour when we got married, and it's just so special to know she'll be there at the birth as well. In fact, I cried in Big W when we talked about it all today!

Second exciting thing - I've bought my first maternity clothes! I started out looking for some loose non-maternity tops that would go a fair way through pregnancy, and found some gorgeous ones. Then we managed to stray into the maternity section of target... and I picked up a pair of black maternity jeans for less than $12! A couple more tops (one is a proper maternity top, the other isn't), and I'm certainly off to a good start along with the baggy jeans and jumpers and things that I already have.

too tired for personals... maybe later... have read all the updates, though.
