    Hi Girls - Just typed everything and lost it and now I dont know if I can remember everything I wrote, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

    Klee - It is true I pushed you off the wagon, but I am sorry, it had to be done I am glad you guys felt comfy and had a nice time. Next time we will have to skip the margaritas though cause we will both be UTD I agree with Lynn, whatever reason they are sending you o/s just go with it. Like I said to you on Saturday, even if they are sending you because of Phoebe I dont think for one second they would even bother if you werent a valued employee. Whatever the reasons it will be good for you guys to see your family and also its hard when your birthday comes around, at least I know some of us girls have found it hard, so it might be nice for you to have that distraction of being away. What date is your birthday? I will have to send you a message, thats if you have international roaming on your phone but if not email will do.

    Lynn - Its not me that got Klee hooked, its that the guy at the restaurant makes them so darn good The drawers will be a good distraction for DH while waiting for Hope's arrival. I dont blame you for not feeling UTD yet, its almost like yeah ok Ill take your word for it LOL. But you are, and you will holding him/her in your arms before you know it Also another reason we are thinking of taking the nursery down is cause we are thinking of moving in August when our lease is up to a 4 bedroom house so we will have to take it down then anyway. And who knows maybe we are jinxing ourselves! We have decided we are not going to use the same Sesame Street wall decorations we had, we are going to give them away if anyone wants them and other than that maybe just put them in a cupboard or something. DH said that his mate and his wife (you know the ones) might want them but I am not sure how I feel about giving Nicholas' things to them!

    Bailey - How is Faith treating you? M/S still threatening to set in? Oh and thanks for the article, I got it today.

    Jo - Dont give up just yet, there is still 4 more days to go. I have everything crossed for you.

    Spring - Actually you would be a good person to advise us on the nursery situation. I know you had to pack up your nursery when you moved, and didnt set it up again when you moved in where you are. How did you cope with that? In your opinion is it a good thing to pack it up or would you have coped better all this time with it there? I keep wondering what if it is too scary to set it up again when the time comes. I said to DH that to pack it all up just seems so final and he just gave me a big hug and said but Mel it is final, he isnt coming back

    Hi to everyone else.

    Not much from me tonight, except that I love this finishing at 3pm business its great. Oh and I am having an early night tonight. Had trouble sleeping last night, last time I checked the clock it was 3.41am! And then at about 5am I was woken up by DH HEADBUTTING ME!!!!! He was trying to cuddle up to me (apparently ) and misjudged and headbutted me right on the bridge of my nose... what the...???? I am starting to think I am a battered wife and just dont know it - will be sleeping with one eye open tonight let me tell you LOL.

    Ciao for now, Mel

    Hi girls,

    Mel - I had not yet had a chance to set up the room for Asha, we were renovating (our house was only 2 bedrooms and with her on the way we needed a new room) so I am glad in away that I didn't have to pack anything up. But a few weeks ago I found a huge bag of baby stuff that we had started buying for her. there was a little set of baby pj's I had bought when we had just found out we were pregnant that say 'Daddy loves me' all over them, and that made me really sad. I put them away for just her, I wouldn't use them again, but finding them kind of felt final too. I know what you mean. I cannot imagine how hard it would be. Maybe store his things instead of giving them away, because I think it would be hard to use for your next baby, but maybe it will be easier for the one after?? I am not sure. It would be hard if you gave them away and then regretted it.

    Lynn - Proper MS this morning, even gagged a few times And sore (o)'s too today! Ouch! What about you? I have a docs appointment just with my GP next week and she will probably send me for a scan. NLP is a thing where they can sort of train your brain to think about things differently. It kind of sounds a little out there, but it worked for me when I had trouble sleeping when I was pregnant with Asha. it teaches you to think of something pleasant (i think they call it an anchor) when you are stressed or anxious. I am probably a little of the mark, but it is along those lines anyway. I am going to start it as soon as I have told everyone about being UTD, so I will let you know if it helps.

    Spring - Nice to have you back. Only a few more days til DH back....how are you going to handle having to share the remote?

    Klee - I hope you and Mel had a great time out on the turp's cos hopefully that will be the last drink you two will be able to have for a while. Where are you off to?

    JLK - Hey, don't give up yet, I was convinced AF was coming. The symptoms are all so similar. It ain't over yet. Fingers crossed for you.

    Flowerchild - I am so into Mexican too at the moment....mmmmmmmm. I might look into hypnobirthing too. I just want to give myself every chance to feel relaxed and secure. I just don't know how I am going to make it otherwise.

    Hello to everyone else too

    Well as I said above, I am starting to feel sick..woo hoo. I have never been so happy to be dry retching with my head in the toilet bowl. Yay. I want to tell my mum so much, but I am too scared that something will happen and I will worry her. She has been so amazing since we lost Asha, doing everything for us and she is still so upset about it all, I just don;t want her to worry knowing that I am worried IYKWIM. I think I will wait til I have a scan.
