Hi Ladies,

How's it all going? Where to start? From the top...

DR - Congrats on your little pink bundle growing in there! On the monitor thing - I didn't have one with DS as my house is tiny with mostly floorboards, so sound carries very easily. This time I am borrowing a good one from my brother but it doesn't do movement (as far as I know). Heaps of friends have said those ones are stressful as the alarm goes off all the time and they run in there in the middle of the night and everything is 100%fine. So, I don't know! I know what you mean about your mum's friend. People like that are hard work. You would think that they would try and enjoy their pregnancy a little bit after all they've been through and be over the moon when they get their healthy baby after all those years. But I guess, we all have our concerns and LTTTC gets to us in different ways. She might have always been a stresshead worrier anyway, even without the IVF. Glad all of your renos and cleaning are going well.

Aimee - Oh no - stretchies!!! Get rubbing girl. Not that much longer to stretch at least!

JBM - yay for sleeping through the night! Woohoo - (I think I remember that, but it's been a while)

Possums - your nursery sounds gorgeous. I can't wait to wash my little one's outfits too and hang them out. Your alien tummy sounds a bit freaky! Just kidding - how amazing is it!?!

Grub - come on. Get that bub out of there and into the real world. Really hope it all goes smoothly for you on the big day xoxoxo

Kass - movements won't be too far away, I hope.

Hi to everyone else!

AFM - not sure if I told you I had a scan last week? I have no memory these days. Anyway, all was perfect - baby on the small side, but with GD they worry about it being big, so that's all great! I actually think that if they went off my original IVF dates rather than the 12 week scan dates then it is measuring spot on. Only 3 days of work to go next week and then that's it. Yipeee

I took DH to a baby shop today (we were in the car and I said, 'oh let's just go this way so I can grab a few things'). So, I bought a basinett (one of the frilly things that I hate, but which are pretty practical) and looked at lots of other stuff. I think because I am still so small, it still seems quite far away for him. But then, for most men, they don't really GET IT until labour starts. Anyway, have a good weekend chicks! Chat soon, xoxo
