So nice to log on this morning and see so many posts. I never thought i could feel so close to strangers online, but BB has changed my outlook.

Sorry about your family Mako - i hope once baby arrives things will change. DH and i live in fear of what his mother will be like - thank goodness she's in NZ. Congrats on the anniversary - DH and i have been together 9 years too - gosh, we were just 21 when we met!

Finding it super hard with my sis here - she has said a few things which make me think she is on to us - but we will tell all when WE want to. I just hope she hasn't discussed it with anyone. DH is at work again this week so it is actually nice having someone around when i'm normally alone for 7 days.

Thanks to everyone for making me feel better from last week. A big hug to you Jo - it seems like i might be having a lucky symptom free pg - at least for now. I hope your next one goes much smoother and kinder on you. I do feel lucky - i'm not taking it for granted. Apart from being a little tired and a little hungry, i'm pretty good.

Clare - i hope you can start buying a few things soon, but i'm sure it's easier said than done.

Take care all.
Jo
