Okay, back again ladies. Didn't quite beat DH to the car but that's okay. And we made it home before 6pm, that's the earliest he's been home in months!! You'd think if I was this excited that i'd actually be talking to him, but he had a huge rant about work all the way home which to be honest was rather boring, so i've left him to his own devices in the kitchen while I type this
Londonmiss - i'm hearing you on that front and don't worry, i'm exactly the same! Not very pleasant really...
BOC and smithy - lovely to hear from you both Hope all is going well. As usual, i've been sneaking some peeks at your photos - what gorgeous little bubs!!
AFM - well, not much to report, though as I said to LM, I think I had my first Braxton Hicks contractions today! It's kind of scary to think that i'm getting close enough for those...!
We've pretty much put the nursery together now, just have to decorate it. I must admist, i'm a little concerned about progressing with some of the girly ideas I had before just in case the OB was right but as I said also, i've decided to ignore her thoughts as she herself said she wasn't confident at all and wasn't very good at that sort of thing, whereas the sonographer was very confident.
I'm counting down days at work now until I can start mat leave - i'm taking the full 6 weeks off beforehand as i've decided this is my last chance for quite some time to relax and do my own thing! How close to your due dates are the rest of you planning on working till?
Well..... I might have accidentally led DH to believe - well more a failure to tell the truth rather than an outright lie..... that the Aus rules are the same as the UK which is 11 weeks before birth... so I'm stopping at about 9.5 but then I'm a contractor so it's really up to me and of course I don't get any pay whatsoever. But frankly, it might be the only time in my life that I'm pregnant and I have an exam in June and four essays to write before the baby is born. Writing government reports that no bugger reads is so far down my priority list its unbelievable!!! So I might finish early. If I do, and qantas have any deals, I might even come to Canberra and see the art blockbuster.... hmm that was an off the cuff remark that is increasingly attractive as an idea... might mull that over... [this is why no one reads my reports, my tendency to make things up as I go along. Genius in daily life, less useful in on official report ]

Thank you to both Lise and London miss for your responses <3
Lise -=- I really do believe you are having a girl based on what the sonographer said I would go ahead with your plans anyway and well.. if it turns out to be a boy I would bet ur feelings would only be of dissapointment for a VERY short time. you'll look at how unbelievably perfect and healthy ur baby is and forget why you would possibly feel that way in the first place (although I do understnad why because you had bonded with a girl) trust me when u meet lil one no matter what they are or what they look like they are perfect.. seeing your very own baby wriggling and defensless completely frail and tiny struggiing to get there first glimpses of the world and find where mummy went is the most overwhealming sight you'll ever feel.. its just so surreal and crazy to know they belong to you and how much they need you its impossible not to love them completely frm that moment
I know that sentence doesnt make alot of sense but im sure u get what im saying ..
London miss -=- unfortunately its normal hun! Ive been getting that pretty much from the start and yeh.. not the best feeling in the world.. blah lol
i know what you mean about shopping.. its sooo much effort without a car isnt it! And you know what u are absolutely right.. I did end up txting one of my best gfs this morning asking her if she was headed down the shops today.. she said she was and when I asked if i could tagg along to get out of the house and pick up a few things she was on my doorstep with the hour! Then after we got down the shops and I ran my errands I asked her what she needed to do noticing she hadnt picked up any groceries and she turned to me smiled and said " I needed to get you out of the house for a bit " I felt so embarrassed and nice at the same time shes such a sweety
You are both right too Al of the bad thoughts depression brings are completely irrational.. I do know I have plenty of gfs who love me and we catch up all the time.. And lise i think what you said really proved to me the power of being stuck at home while DH's at work for a while can really do to us! Its true nothing has changed hes not away any more or less then he has been the past 3 yrs but being pregnant really does make u need more company.. especially when the normal things u keep ureself busy with like work and walking and all the things u stop doing when u get to big go away..
I do feel so much better since venting to my bellies and im so gratefull for your replys its nice to know im not the only one suffering from time to time and others know what its like..
I think things will all go back to normal after we all settle in the next few weeks.. But thank you so much again I am so so gratefull for finding belly belly! Its definately been wonderful finding such great friends in complete strangers that I can open up to anytime but at the same time never feel its to personal because Ive never met any of you haha!
Take care and i hope we are all well!
LM. good job on the list there hunny ,wow that must have taken ages ,i take my hat off to you as i couldnt do it lol..
ps.. as for the color i always choose the color before i write anything and it should work,but to be honest its been playing up lately so maybe thats why it didnt work
Hope all is going well. As usual, i've been sneaking some peeks at your photos - what gorgeous little bubs!!
