Hey ladies,

I have been MIA for a fair while now - I think since before Christmas!!

Looks like there are a lot of new comers - CONGRATULATIONS!! - and some births - CONGRATULATIONS!!

I really need to do some reading to catch up!!

grub- I think its great you're not finding out - we arn't either - although there seems some practicality in finding out!! That's great you have some 'neautral' clothes - but I agree with you that you needed a new 0000 girl's outfit - JIC!! I think that (because this is our first) I will have 1 boy and 1 girl outfit to take bub home in !! Gotta be prepared!! As for the crankiness - I really only seem to get cranky at hubby - I think its because I'm a little emotional and if he says something I can always construe it into him not wanting to spend time with me (or something like that!!) ... poor DH!!

kaybee- I agree with the others - its not right that a 'friend' - knowing how much you have gone through - could act like that. But I guess it's times like these that you find out who your real friends are.

Possums - I'm 16 weeks and have now put on 3kgs but I hadn't put on any until week 12 - it just all come on since then - but I think a bit of it is the extra blood and stuff!! I'm trying not to think about the weight part - just eating healthy and whenever I am hungry - I think that is best for me.

A big hello to everyone else!!

AFM - Well, we have hit the 16 weeks!! It's amazing at how time has passed!! I was a little worried about going to Vietnam at Christmas (I was 7 and 8 weeks pregnant) but all went really well - just watched what I ate and drank, so it was fine - except for feeling squimish at the throught of asian food (which is not a good thing in Vietnam!). Anyway - my belly has now changed from looking fat to getting a little rounder and pregnant looking!! Other than that - it seems this pregnancy is a truely wonderful experience!!
