Hello all. Thanks for the video Smithy - I admit I was a little bit nervous when i opened it... but it's so touching. Thanks for sharing such a special moment with us. I hope Charlie is doing well - she looks lovely in the pics.

Lise - glad to hear you are putting on weight now! I feel the opposite, I feel like I've not got any bigger at all this week. In fact I feel rather despondent. I keep having thoughts of what if I'm not pregnant anymore, I mean I have no signs of it (no first trimester signs, and no movements to reassure me). I always get paranoid before a hospital trip, isn't that illogical. I feel like they are going to tell me that I'm being silly and it's all just too much cake. When did you first feel the baby move? I have an upset stomach at the moment, and I'm full of wind, so it's hard to tell.

I scared myself to death yesterday with a wee the colour of ruby red roses. Automatically assumed I was dying. Then remembered I had two meals of beetroot in the last 10 hours. Doh!
