Susan i wish i could say something to help lift your spirits but TBH i dont know what would help iykwim. Just remember you ARE loved by "your" family (and us BB girls) so stuff your mum- easier said than done i know. I really hope today is a better day for you. Tell dadofmany i said he has to be extra specially nice this weekend.

Bek- Maybe get DH to go to the ultra sound but ask the sex to be written on a piece of paper an put it in an envelope for later. That way you have his support whilst there but dont have to deal with his disappointment til a later date iykwim. I had a friend do this and then they got there 6yo to open and read the sex out at a family get together which i thought was a lovely idea as the 6yo felt so involved.

Nic- I hear you on the nerves when DH is away i hate going out in the evening and coming home to an empty house whilst DH is away. Mind you i am sleeping ok as i am that knackered by bed time lol.

Well went to breaky this mo and then MIL took dd1 to the beach so just molly and i for a few hrs and she's in bed. I am off to play on my wii fit for an hr i think i'm a bit obsessive. Lost nearly 5kg now and only 4 to go to get to my goal. I cant see it and i dont feel any smaller but the skirt i put on this mo was tight a few wks ago and fits lovely now so that was a great feeling and has made me even more motivated

Have a good weekend ladies
