Odette - congrat's on the BFP, you must be so happy. Welcome!!

Monnie - Am impressed with the whole bag packing enterprise...though slightly perplexed - what is a labour bag??????? Don't I just take clothes & personals for jelly bean and I and the hospital does the rest? That's pretty cool but, that you're so very close now.

Mako - you sound so fantastic. That DH has been away and now he's on his way back. My DH wont be planning any trips away, work or holidays if i have anything to do with it! I'm gonna need him, i mean, there's going to be baths to run, meals to prepare, washing to do hehehehe poor DH, he does it all already. I'm glad your man's home to you and ziggy, he sounds ultra sensitive bringing the body butters

Ltl Panda - it's kinda nice that you're a few weeks ahead of me cause you'll do things, then ease my fears when i go for them 2-3weeks later! i.e. Sounds like your 12 week scans a little nerve racking. I saw my GP for the first time today since finishing with FC and he gave me referrals for it. No matter what, me and jelly bean are together, but if there's any genetic prob's, i'd like to be prepared and do some in advance reading iygwim.

Kotare - feeling like 'boring old you' is a good thing. From what others have said my m/s is only very mild but I don't wish it on anyone. It effects meal times, cooking ability (smells, yuck!) and lots of other general things it's frustrating. I am accustomed now though to not go anywhere without my tupperware container of salada biscuits and each night when i go to bed, a pre-opened fruit cup with spoon and the biscuits come with me. I've even become accustomed to sitting in bed, in the darkness of 3am and eating/slurping the fruit cup so i can get back to sleep (which is really quite funny, particularly the 1st time DH woke up and could hear me slurping away, he wasn't sure what i was doing, though at that stage, i wasn't quite sure either!)

DJTTC - love your story of your little girl and DH, that's one to write down for her 21st i say, just so she remembers she was Daddy's ltl girl even before she entered the world. Sounds like your pregnancy is going well for you - how many weeks are you??
