Hi all,

Glad I wasn't the only one having problems with BB. One day I wrote a big long one then lost it, don't you hate it when that happens.

Brunette - those naughtly babies! Do you think it is aimed at you or are they actually arguing with each other? Maybe they are trying to assert their dominance on each other before they come out. I am imagining them in the car in a few years time... 'Mum, so and so hit me!' I hope they settle down soon, but it is probably unlikely you poor thing. When do you go back to the OB? Hoping the next US is more reassuring for you with the PP. And what is an 'avvy' I haven't figured it out yet.

Worry wart, I get you with the gender thing. I always imagined myself having lots of girls. With #2 I was pretty certain that I was having a girl, and when HE came out I was quite surprised. It took me a few minutes to digest but seriously, when that bub comes out the feelings you have for them they could be an alien and you would still love them instantly. You will bond with your little girl and when you see her you will probably wonder what you were worried about. This time is tricky for us, as we have one of each we are happy either way, but DD really wants a little sister and is convinced the baby is a girl. So for her sake I am hoping its a girl, but then I feel very guilty thinking that. So you are not alone worrying about this..

As for the parenting thing, believe me if you are worried about whether you will be a good parent or not - you will be. People who are 'bad' parents don't think about things like that. Just do what you can, and be forgiving to yourself as no one is perfect. You will be great, have faith.

AFM - we are going to the coast this weekend, the in laws are having the kids for two whole nights and we are staying at a hotel. Only the second time since having kids we have been away from them, and the first time was one night for an engagement party so didn't have time to ourselves. I am planning on sleeping in, and just doing nothing!

Keep well everyone
