    MOTM, how've you managed to be thanked in more posts than your post count? *confused smiley*

    "Post Count: 1,950
    Thanked 10,029 Times in 1,953 Post"

    Hmmmm. I never look at the posts/thanks. Maybe it happened when I deleted my thread about my girl and it kept the thanks :o
    Can I join the 5 foot 3 and a half club?! DH always laughs when I say the half. He's over 6 foot so the half wouldn't be as important to him!

    The half is important. I'm 6'5 1/2 and the 1/2 is very important. Okay it's not, but I was 5'3 1/2 once :whistle:

    Lucy is 5'8 approx I think.

    Oh yeah, and I'm 15stone, 5ft5inch and a size 16/18. So I'm guessing my 'healthy weight' of 9stone would leave me looking pretty skeletal...

    How come everyone is 5'3 1/2 or have I missed the joke? :rotfl:

    ETA - If you include siblings by marriage, I have 5 brothers and 3 sisters. 2 of my brothers are taller than me, 1 the same height, 2 smaller.

    Fairy dadmother rang last night to say he is going to be a step gran[STRIKE]dad[/STRIKE]ny! His step son and his girlfriend are 6 weeks PG and over the moon. The girlfriends parents apparantly told her she should have an abortion because they "dont have their own home" (because they rent, but havent bought!) and because they arent married. Nevermind that they have been together for longer than OH and I. How awful and unsupportive, you think they'd just be chuffed to be grandparents! I've never met her but I feel the need to give her a hug :( Its a shame they live over an hour away or I'd make an effort to get to know them.

  • I'm 5'8", OH is 6'2" so I have a feeling LO will be fairly tall. SM, shall we start the 5'8" club?

    Thanks to Bruno and MOTM on your birth thoughts, and thanks ladies for your OH's perspectives. I was just curious really as personally I can't imagine anything worse than watching the person you love most in the world being in so much pain and would rather be the one in labour than the one watching (and I'm allowed to say that 'cos I had a 44 hour labour only 10 weeks ago)!

    MDW- I love the sound of the natural c-section. I will give serious consideration to a planned c-section next time I think and that sounds like a really good option.
