hi all, just popped on though am busy at work today...now putting off some report writing, must do it before I leave though!

wonder if sammy is having mummy cuddles yet?!

I met DH online too, though a Christian dating website called fusion101. Met a few blokes through that and other websites but something clicked straight away with DH. We ended up doing the weekend thing too...first got in touch May 2005, met June 2005, got engaged April 2007 and married Jan 2008. I moved up here when we got married.

so many people keep telling me how big I am...thanks! a lady came in with a big bag of knitted things today which were given for her kids but never worn - people are so lovely!

MiLs - i think I am v lucky, mine is lovely, not interfering but like a 2nd mum to me, and I know it will be good to have her around after the birth. She helped her DD a lot with breastfeeding when she went to visit them after their first so I am glad she'll be around for me too! My mum is far away and although I lvoe her to bits is the slightly more interfering of the two!

mine will be in vests and sleepsuits too...until it goes to school if DH gets his way! he hates seeing little ones dressed like mini adults!!! I've also got some of those pull on sock/shoe things and some hats, plus loads of knitted and some non knitted cardis. I've mainly bought long sleeved vests as it will be the winter.

I must get a changing mat!

I got long sleeve bodysuits too.. keep little arms covered in the sun.. saves slopping sun cream on them which i hate doing when they are tiny

just been through all of our girls clothes and have almost everything we should need. Only have one cardigan and since she will be born in winter i will need a few more just in case. Also need a few more sleepsuits but mum has been gathering a few that she has seen out and about so only a couple more needed. Need to get a chest of drawers for the babys room so i can start moving it out of my room and get our space back.

I too will be going down the sleepsuit route, when i had Lyla DH didn't want me putting her in dresses etc he said it looked weird, of course i ignored him but when i look back on the pics she does look like a dressed up doll!!!!!!!

Hi all, oooh hope to hear good news from Sammy soon...

Meanwhile I am on antibiotics and iron tablets three times a day!

lol! I have loads of baby cardigans ranging from newborn right upto 1 year old as my gran has gone all out knitting loads and still plans about another three before baby comes! I had started knitting my own but ripped it back once I saw how many my gran had made

but not much else organised yet in terms of sleepsuits or vests sorted.... still, 11 weeks to go should be plenty of time I hope!!

I am sort of nesting as am trying to get a weekly plan sorted for keeping on top of the housework now before the baby comes - trouble is baby is due same month as oldest starts reception class so will be a bit chaotic in September once baby arrives - will take ds1 to school with ds2 in tow plus baby...

Hope you are all keeping well

All of these on-line loves - how sweet. I met my DH on a late nightish train, long story short but two drunks match made us and here we are nearly 10 years together, married a year (nearly!!) and a little one on the way.

My MIL let us get on with things not interfering at all and to be honest so our my parents.

I am planning on bubs living in sleepsuits/bodysuits and a couple of cardis too.

Hair cut all done:D Lost count of how many people asking "oooo how long have you got left"!

Ok PANIC PANIC... lots to do before thurs just incase I step foot in hospital and wont be allowed back out again:eek:

My "me" bag is already to take. Need to sort out proper "having baby" bag cos there's no way DH could possibly do such a thing. How on earth will DH and DS (and the cats) cope without me???!:eek::eek::eek: I'll have to write a 10 page essay with instructions on how life works;):rotfl:

Oh and meeting men on t'internet is a very naughty thing to do ladies!!:p They're only after your money;) They may well marry you and make babies... but it's all in THE PLAN:eek:

lol smartie - I always tell people I bought him off the internet when anyone asks! I used to get embarassed and say I met him through friends but now so many people do meet ohs that way that its not unusual... also I worked with young people at the time and didn't want them to think meeting up with randoms off the internet was a wise thing to do!

Smartie stop panicking and sit down, the world won't come to a shuddering halt without you there, so they may eat fat macs every day and wear odd socks, but it doesn't really matter in the scheme of things.
Def def make sure you have all you need though cos DH WILL DEF forget the one thing you ask for, i asked DH to bring my slippers last time as they wouldn't let me leave my bed without them, and of course he forgot. I cried for a hour!
