  • Yay!!! Lovely news Smlsave, not been there and done it myself as I no longer have a 'Lady Nursery' but am v pleased for you! :j

    Also - FINALLY got the dress yesterday for brothers wedding, thank the lord! My poor mum came with me and we spent 3 and a half hours and tried on approx 40 dresses in Debenhams, she almost keeled over when I finally picked one! Bless her.......:rotfl:
    Now the hunt is on for shoes, bag and a wrap!!

    Congratulations on the pregnancy! How exciting, I also have extreme broodiness issues, our little girl is going to be 2 this weekend and everyone is starting to talk about 'number 2'. Enjoy it all, I just loved being pregnant, we will try for the next one in 2013 once we are no longer dependant on my income...I'm on a count down. Excited for you :)

  • I am pretty sure you are ok to fly until your 3rd trimester/26 weeks sort of stage. You should be well under. Worth checking out now though.

    Many congratulations on your pregnancy:j I became a mum for the first time in May and it is the most amazing thing I have ever done:happyhear

    As for doing a second test I did a wee on a stick test even though DS was conceived through IVF and I had blood tests to confirm I was preggers! I think we just wanted to see that little blue line for ourselves:D:o

    Congratulations!!! You must be sooo excited! Did chuckle at you having to buy a second more expensive test - something I could see myself doing, just to be sure!

    You menu sounds fab too!
