been a busy day in here - i'm struggling to keep up! but that's ok! i'm sure i'll get there! i've read a few of you mentioning being scared to jinx things by buying big ticket items too early. DH is keen to get everything early, but i'm very restrained (very unusual for me!). i've let him layby manchester and have layby'd some clothes, but refuse to arrange anything else simply because i want my new shed built first!! have to put some serious pressure on my brother - the nursery is currently full of shed stuff (tools, tool boxes, all the christmas deco's, two air con systems that need to be installed, new internal doors for the WHOLE house....) - nothing we can do until it gets gutted. the built in robe is still full of stuff from when DH was growing up, so all that has to go as well! i'm reluctant to buy stuff, but for very different reasons than the rest of you!

went back to FS for final visit today - they've changed my EDD to June 2nd based on the u/s showing a smaller bub 10 days ago. given it was an IUI not IVF, i wasn't too phased, but did mention that i thought we'd be further along based on trigger etc, and could we scan to check, and FS was all for it, so another scan next week for us. at this stage it's Wed 22nd, but might be changed. DH is an interstate truck driver and we have to fit as many of our appointments in with his work (his boss is fantastic and has been all along - so we're going to see if it's better for him to have DH home wednesday or another day during the week)

not a lot else to mention really - the nausea that had gone awol over the weekend is back with a vengeance - which FS and DH had a good ol giggle about at the appointment! mean buggers!! the nurse who organised everything and did the IUI is very happy that it's all worked, and told me that i'd missed the fine print on the contracts - that once the Gremlin arrives, it is the last stage of treatment to go back for "amanda cuddles"! i have no drama with this at all - must be pretty hard on them to constantly tell people it hasn't worked, so if i can bring her a smile at the end of a busy day, who am i to argue??

congrats to the girls that have hit the 25week mark today! what an awesome milestone!
