Glad everyone seems to be doing ok at the moment - having gotten over horrid blood tests etc!

A note on peanuts - I did a bit of research into this because I love peanut butter - they are probably going to reverse the guideline on eating peanuts even if you have an allergy. Since they brought in the guidelines the rates of peanut allergies have shot up, the theory now is that it is better if the mother eats peanuts so that the baby can develop some resistance to the nut oil which causes the reaction. My OH has asthma and other allergies but I'm eating peanuts and hopefully it wont be a problem. I think there was something recently on BBC news website if you want to read about it.

Thanks to everyone for your comments about godparents. How ignorant am I? I I didn't even realise the religious connection and although I was brought up a catholic I'm an atheists now and leaning towards humanist. I think I will have a look on the web and see if the humanist society has anything to say about the subject otherwise I think I will make up my own traditions

SM - we've only bought 'boys' clothes so far but they're not boyish really. Unfortunately every time we go near baby clothes and see anything with a lion on we HAVE to buy it!

My fave so far are Gap babygros with 'Daddy's pride and joy' and 'Mummy's pride and joy' with a lion/ess and cub. We have 3 different sizes. How mad are we?!

Congrats to JM on team blue and ML on team pink :T

Well, we got to scan late as OH was running late as usual!!!

Scan was great - everything in working order.

Baby has long legs - I said to OH - 'Ru sure it's mine?!' at a piddly 5ft 1!!!

So, to the sex.............................. she put it on a view so baby was as if you were changing nappy with legs in the air and there was defo two little balls and a willy (although cord was in the way a bit) but I am 100% sure I could see what she was pointing at. OH didn't have his glasses on.

So, I'm Team Blue - Can someone update the list to include a little blue icon for me?!!!!

I didn't see the MW afterwards and got to the bank on time :T

Jennynoo - we're atheists who had a humanist wedding... if you go on the humanist soc website you can see all about having a humanist naming ceremony: http://www.humanism.org.uk/ceremonies/humanist-namings

thanks

I'm going to see if I can update the list

Congrats Glamazon, make sure your OH takes his glasses next time!

Another educational note - lying on your left is good for you and your baby as there is a venal something or other - blood supply - down one side and if you lie on your left you and the baby get more blood (oxygen) woops.. forgotten most of the details but hopefully you get the idea!

Triggles

Yup - congrats on team blue! Lots of us having little boys!
