    I'm glad I podded early on both occasions!

    I think the fact that the few people I've known who are pregnant went early is adding to the frustration - a bit of the green eyed monster creeping in possibly:o

    This won't help Luc, but I went 10 days over with DD.

    I was due to be induced that day, woke up and felt like I had 'period pains'.

    Went to hospital and low and behold, I was in labour. And by 3pm I was holding my gorgeous baby girl. Before you know it, your bump will be a child and going off to school...it does go that fast...

    I can vouch for that!! My baby is starting school this Sept, where has the time gone!!

  • I watched my 2 go for a walk with MIL today-DS is nearly 4 and DD is 6 now. They both looked so gorgeous it melted my heart.

    I can't believe how fast the time goes. And don't be sad Luc, I was exactly the same. They were the worst days of my pregnancy.

    nothing like time pressure to bring out the 5-min glamazon in us all;) where you going for this date?
    Bowling :o which I don't particularly like, and the lighting is very harsh :o:o and I've been stuck inside with 2 sick kids for days, so I'm pasty and spotty :eek:

    But he has an hours drive to get here, so going for a drink is kind of out of the question. At least he didn't suggest the cinema - I hate that for a first date.

    Luc I moaned the whole 9 months of mine, I hated every day of each 9 months :) so indulge in a little feeling sorry for yourself. I was 2 weeks late with number 1 and was induced... he's 18 now, it does fly all right.

  • One thing I really miss about home is coffee shops-nice ones like Second Cup-you could meet people there and have a nice conversation, relaxed.

    Costa and Starbucks are like that I guess but not many near me...

    Bowling is actually quite a good test... you'll get to see how competitive he is, you can have a proper conversation and you'll soon find out if he takes himself too seriously...
