    and if you can't be sure with one...
    PICT0215.jpg

    I vomited this morning - so here it starts...

    I count myself very lucky, I used ovulation kits from the start mind to make sure I got it at the right time. If I've worked it out right I'm about 7 or 8 weeks and will be due in november. Just enough time to get settled into routine before christmas...so my shopping all absolutely has to be done before halloween and wrapped asap. AAAGGHHH christmas - I just got butterflies. There's a bit of nervousness in me cos mam did so much for me last time, she would come round every day and take Libby out in the pram so I could have a bath and get dressed,etc; but I guess I know what I'm doing this time (I had no clue last time), a little bit sad cos she won't be here but I think it will bring me and my dad even closer.

    Thanks to everyone for keeping your fingers crossed - you can uncross them now, they must be sore!!!


    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! A thrifty gifty baby that we have followed from the start and can be a palymate for all the other soon to be born thrifty babes!!!

    Don't worry I am a midwife (tho not practising!!) so if anyone goes into labour, when the time comes and they are on here I can deliver the special little person!!! Well we're virtual friends so why can't I deliver the virtual babies!!!???

    Oooh scattymam poor you! I hate midwives they can be so b!tchy! excuse my french! ....

    I had 9 months of morning sickness with DS, I found out I was pregnant when only 11 days!!! that was torture (I thought I just had gastric flu :rotfl:) with DD I was like a psycho from hell, anyone even dared to speak to me and I would rip their head off (now I know why OH left me when I was 12 weeks) didn't have much sickness with her just up til 4 months. Although she caused me more problems with BIH building up etc

    Oh please don't hate me Rusty!!! I'm not working as amidwife anymore you all know what I do now coutesy of Mel's blog (plm that is!!) xxx :rotfl:

    HAPPY UNBIRTHDAY RAINMAC
    HAPPY BIRTHDAY RAINMACS SON:o
    Furrypig I always try not to give anyone personal details away (hence why I still call yer piggy) and I didn't realise I had told the whole world you're a fishmonger. I hope you forgive me. :o

    Hayley I just realised that about a week ago you wrote me a message and I forgot to reply DUH. I do miss my other half when I am away from him and then when I am with him I get these occasional urges to wish I was going out for posh coffees (I don't even like coffee) and shop and 'do' lunch. When I am out I miss him like crazy and I am miserable!! :rotfl: People always think that he keeps me trapped and that I don't let him go out but the truth is I am always egging him on telling him he can go anywhere.. offering money and looking up events but he never wants to go out. Everyone finds that so hard to understand though. His brother and brothers wife are like.. they like their own seperate lives, have seperate money etc. Me and Lee have never even gone to bed seperate LOL. So.. you have another nutter right here who is just like you :) xx

    Thanks for all the lovely comments RE:Teddies. I am trying not to think about it now. She asked when Pikachu was coming home tonight and I had to explain that he was never coming back. logan piped up very angrily and said 'It was those NAUGHTY men, they are thieves and they just go around stealing peoples teddies, Can we find them and I will steal it back off them'. There was some idiot boy racers hanging around the car watching us and Lee saw them go to the skate park so I am guessing they saw Emily leave her bag and went looting.

    I went out for Mcdonalds tonight and when I got home Lee had got the top of the garden sorted out and bought loads of things for a BBQ for mothers day. He knows how much I wanted to spend a day in the garden with the kids (when they're happy i'm happy).

    You watch it rain tomorrow now!

    Scattymam Thank you so much for looking for me you are so wonderful xx The one I had bought her was like a 12 inch fluffy one.. it felt all soft like silky velvet. I had only bought it last week from the Disney Store and it was a special limited edition one to raise money for a hospital.
