    Dusty we have a black cat and i caught her the other day at the porch window with her kitten, Bo was lying sleeping in there and it was as if she was showing the kitten "he's the one to watch.":rotfl:

    Tooti i went to midwife and she told me they now don't see anyone until there 18 weeks:eek: and won't listen for the hearthbeat until then because if i didn't hear it, i'd panick they'd send me to hospital and then the doctor would eat them for wasting there time.:confused: Plus i won't get a 12 week scan only a 22 week one, think it's abit nuts to be honest. Did tell all the parents on tuesday so at least thats out of the way.:rotfl:
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    vanilla I dont know a thing about having babies but that seems a bit 'off' to me - surely its better to make sure everything is going along as it should in the early days than having a trauma/drama later when termination isnt possible or chosen? :confused::confused: Oh well honey just you keep well- eat well-rest well and nature will take care of the rest!!!!

    laughing at the cat/kitten/Bo comment!!

    All the washing is dry, folded and put away. Smells lovely and fresh.

    Dinner cooked, eaten and everything washed up and put away.

    Tootti the thing that bummed me out was that when you have the 12 week scan you know how things are and you get to see the baby, then when you tell everyone you know something new (if that makes sense). The midwife said she would see me at 14 weeks just because of my history and hopefully the doctor will want to see my earlier but not to hold my breath.

    Kids all lifted and sticks finished for today.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.

    I hope you thanked her!!!
    Delegate to another flylady who likes lists, tables, pivots etc - not me - I would but I can't use those table things.

    List of flyers could be post 2 like on the boots/pigsback threads - they have really long posts.

    I offered to delegate noone wanted it lol.

    Would we not be concerned about the amount of 'personal data' .. and would we need a motto to go in our siggy strip? Or could we just be number # flybabe/boy
