Fan-bloody-tastic HTGDF, that is brilliant! You should be very proud of yourself. You are well on your way to that wedding dress! Well done! Hope you're night shift goes fast tonight. Thank for the advice on the money front - if its a choice between eating and debtbusting I always listen to my stomach!
Miemie - yes, peace and quiet I can imagine will be a distant memory all too soon. So will sleeping, reading, gardening, socialising, realxing, watching films..... I'm not doing a very good job convincing myself about this am I?! Oh well, it will be an experience if nothing else!!Debt Sept 2007 (1st LBM) - £63,000 :embarasseStarted DMP July 2012 (2nd LBM) - £34,000DFD (currently) - 12 years!

Hello,
Getting better on the nerves front - 9 months ago it was 95% terrifed, 5% excited. Up until a month ago I was 30% excited, 70% terrified. :shocked:
It was only on Friday actually whilst driving to work that the thought entered my head - "I'm going to be a dad!" I just went bonkers and starting whoooping and screaming 'yeeeessss' as loud as I could. I calmed down after five minutes and continued driving! I don't think it will properly sink in til baby appears, but it was nice to get a little taster. Altough why it hit me while I was driving I have no idea!
I genuinely can't wait, and that will get me through the sleepless nights.
We're into the final week til due date (13th June). OH is so fed up bless her, she just wants baby out. Sooner the better. Counting the days.....Debt Sept 2007 (1st LBM) - £63,000 :embarasseStarted DMP July 2012 (2nd LBM) - £34,000DFD (currently) - 12 years!

Had a scare today. Went for a routine midwife appt. and OH had high blood pressure. Off to the hospital we went, with the midwife telling us OH will probably be admitted. Well, after several hours of tests her blood pressure went back to normal and she was sent home. So, still no great movement on baby, but we're hoping its a little bit closer to coming out.
No debtusting updates.... just too excited!!!Debt Sept 2007 (1st LBM) - £63,000 :embarasseStarted DMP July 2012 (2nd LBM) - £34,000DFD (currently) - 12 years!
