MsKara - great to hear that you're going well and you have a gorgeous little bubba in there! So exciting!

Tegam - I'm in sunny Brisbane! At least it's actually sunny today. I'm so over the rain. Four loads of washing today and counting! Lots of it is baby stuff, it's so gorgeous out there on the Hills Hoist! I hate using clothes horses to dry my clothes, I have become addicted to the sun since we moved up here. Will really struggle if we go back to Melbs!

I hear you ferrals! This time last year I could barely walk into work because this dumb idiot with verbal diarrhea was blathering all about her pg, and I knew it was unplanned and she and her DH were deep deep in bad debt - not as bad as your smoker niece, but it still made me mad that she could have a healthy baby, and I couldn't, when we'd planned it for so long, and were so prepared.

In the right clothes, I can actually kind of still hide my bump, and just look a bit overweight. Crazy, huh? I could never get away with it with anyone I know well, but with strangers I could pull it off.
