    Thanks Sami. I've sent off my email, not sure what they define as larger size but my current 34E's seem huge compared to my pre-preg 32C's :o

    On the subject of MILs - I hardly hear from mine - it does help that OH 17 year old sister found out she was pregnant a few weeks ago :eek: It has taken the pressure of me, especially as mine will be her first grandchild, but as SIL is still at home I can see her taking over her child - but probably for the best. OH doesn't really get on particularly well with his side, he didn't have the best upbringing...

    Thanks for that link Sami :) I have mailed them - be interesting if they think a 34HH/J is large enough or possibly too large LOL!!!
    Well at about 9:30 I went for a shower and then felt really tired when I got out and thought I'd read my book in bed for half an hour... just got back up now :rotfl: well obviously I just needed more sleep :)
    So we'll see about the trip to the allotment - need to do some Tesco shopping and trying to decide if I should do it online or get off my butt... hmmm anyone seen some good tesco codes recently? LOL

    Oh, and another thanks to Sami. I picked up the baby monitor and digital ear thermometer that you posted last week - these ones from Lloyds Pharmacy . We didn't intend on getting a baby monitor as our house is quite small and the wall very thin (new build :rolleyes:) but thought for the price is would be extra piece of mind - especially if we have babysitters :D

    The ear thermometer also takes the room temp - hubby has set it up in the nursery to see how warm it is. He's paranoid about the hot water cylinder being in there and heating the room up. *bless*

    I'm a combination of sad and relieved about MILs - my OH's parents are both dead, and my mother lives a 2 1/2 hour flight away on a different land mass. I think it's fantastic that I don't have to deal with MIL stuff, but at the same time I wish the Bellyfrog had the chance to meet her paternal grandparents and spend more time with the maternal ones. My grandmother lived with us when I was young and looked after me during the day, and my baby won't have that.

    I'm considering adopting an old German lady to be Oma. I need to find one who's nice, non-judgemental, speaks some English and won't be scary or overbearing.

    Oh and MILs... mine thankfully lives in Spain so we only see them briefly a couple of times a year :) Especially now DH has stopped subsidising them all the time... he's realised he has other obligations and his family frankly are old enough to sort their own lives and pay their own way. I'll still send parcels from time to time to his sister and especially his niece... poor kid... :(
    However we don't pay for everyone's travel etc as honestly... we'd rather they didn't visit - we're just VERY territorial about our space in our tiny little house...

    lol, I'm terrfied of telling MIL! she's perfectly nice, but very excitable and a horrid gossip. I'm a very low-key person, so I know she'll shriek and cry when we tell them (this will be 1st grandchild in the family) and then not shut up about it for the remaining 6 months or whatever. Hubby has promised to try and keep her from asking too many q's every time she calls, but I know it'll annoy me towards the end.
