    Thanks kindof.....I feel fine , I just worry cos have had 2 MC's after I had my first two boys!

    I am going to admit something here...I think I want a girl. It is a win, win though cos I would love to have another boy for Kai to grow up with but privately, just for me, I do want a girl....I would never, ever admit that to anyone irl tho:o

    OH just made a huge brunch and Im now stuffed! And I still havent made it to asda, I know by the time I get there the only joints of meat left will be skanky tiny bits or mega expensive but the sofa's far too comfy right now.

    Elle on the parenting thread posted a lush recipe for rocky road recently, its dead easy and tastes lovely. The ingredients for it may fall into my basket if I ever make it to asda :o

    Gymfiend yay for doing the nursey :j We've got one more huge canvas to do but the other 7 (we couldnt narrow down the characters we wanted to include!) are all done and hung now. Admittedly the last few mornings when I really havent wanted to go to work Ive gone and had a little look in there before I leave, it makes me feel all emotional knowing that pretty soon Im going to have a baby to go in there. But emotional in a good way :D

    If I ever find the charger for my camera I'll take a piccie to show you all, its got a Dr Seuss theme :D

    Red, yay for telling all the family now :T And who cares what they think, its your little family and nothing to do with them if you want two little uns close together.

    I think it is cos this is definitely my last too...although like I say part of me does really want a boy, but I always say to everyone I am not bothered about a girl at all, and to be fair, with all the other three I haven't cared one way or the other, but a tiny little part of me wants a girl. I also know that dh really wanted a girl last time, although he didn't explicitly say it, I knew!

    I am 99% certain this will be another boy and all the stats are on side for a boy too, so I know I need to put all thoughts of having a girl out of my mind!

    I reckon everyone has a preference secretly Mel :D I wanted a girl...but now I know he's a boy, I'm thrilled! Hope you get your wish though :) & yay on telling everyone, it's a relief isn't it.

    Boo your nursery sounds fab, would love to see pics :) We've just taken some of the outline, gonna take more once it's all painted so we've got pics through the stages - clearly proud parents already!!
