    Hi all!

    Have a bit of news. I am 12 weeks pregnant! I am going for my scan tomorrow so hopefully all will be okay. Myself and OH are thrilled as the baby was planned. I am quite superstitious so wanted to wait until the 12 weeks to make sure everything was okay.

    For those who are on Facebook, please don't say anything as I plan to tell my friends after the scan tomorrow.

    Hope all are well and had a nice weekend.

    Thanks Starnac!

    Yeah, am hoping the dreadful morning sickness will begin to fade now. Threw up last night but think it might have been cos I was tired. I mostly have just been feeling ill rather than getting ill.

    How are you today?

    Thanks SavingH!

    Am due 21st Feb. Lots of time to get debt busting before! Was talking to my parents today and my mother said they are going to buy the pram so that is one big thing that I don't have to worry about.

    How are you? Is it Thursday you start the job or is that when the other interview is?
