    I had a sense it was a boy, but was helped along but the apparent link between morning sickness and boys LOL

    Im too impatient to not find out as well.

    On another note, work colleague who does the payroll has emailed to say my last pay shud be around £630 (when I get it!) which was more than I expected....

    I always heard that morning sickness was a sign of a girl. My Mum had morning sickness with me and my sister and nothing with my brother. I reckon it is how you react to the hormones myself

    Nice one on the pay :)

    What did your boss say when you left? Was he nice?

  • Hi CAFC - Glad the scan went well, how lovely to be having a boy. I never had morning sickness with any of my 3 girls, although with Alisha (DD3) I felt more sick than I had with the other 2, I went off chocolate and sweet stuff with Alisha too so really thought she was going to be a boy, was very surprised when she was born.

    My mum suffered with morning sickness with both my brother and me was so glad I didn't as if I had I'd only have one child now.

    How did your dad enjoy the scan?

  • Hi there

    So glad your dad enjoyed the scan.

    Is it really cold where you are now then? I just went out to Tesco (well came back half an hour ago), it was quite cold but not frosty, I heard it's meant to be a cold weekend (I'm down South).

  • I don't envy you then, I hate the cold, I only have to step outside the door for 30 seconds and my hands are frozen.

    We have our tree and decorations up already it looks nice, can't believe it's only 14 days until Xmas, to be honest I will be glad when it is over and I can get back onto serious debt busting.

  • Ooh don't envy the cold northern air. I lived in Edinburgh for 5 years and couldn't stick the winters a moment longer. There is a fair difference in temperature.
