    I used to Ov on CD18, will that be the same? This is my first 'real' cycle after giving birth.
    My cycle used to vary wildly before Alice and is much more regular now so wouldn't assume it will be exactly the same as before. (Although I don't know whether breastfeeding was also a factor with mine.)

    Krystal Will it be a February baby? We found out we were having V this week two years ago.

    We've still got V in with us - I keep thinking about putting her in with L, but then keep thinking we're ok as we are for now. :o

    L wants bunk beds and new decor before V moves in. L has got a high bed now, which has storage boxes underneath, and a pull out proper bed underneath those. I actually think the pull out bed is quite a safe first bed option for V, it's very low, and kind of enclosed.

    Yeah, based on LMP it's 22nd February... We're not in a real rush to get Caitlyn out of our room... It's Hubby who's insisting on the decorating, not Aimee lol... We wouldn't get bunks for a long while because Aimee has a mid sleeper with a tent underneath that she's only had a year and I wouldn't want to take that away from her...

    Will you be putting V in with L in a cot or straight into a bed?

    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    It seems my DS has hayfever, he's never had it before but he has had eczema since he was a baby and they are linked. Had him at the walk in centre and he's been given an inhalor and doctor said there's a big chance for it to develop into asthma :( He only seems affected by his nana's garden but the after effects linger for ages, so i'm keeping him away from hers til she de-weeds her garden cos he seems ok elsewhere...

    I've got allergic asthma. Only comes on with certain pollen, fine dust and extreme cold :confused:

    I think you need to go and see MP about housing situation now....

    I don't know really - I would like to keep her in the cot until she can climb out, but there isn't a lot of space left in Livs room for the cot.

    I'm fortunate that Aimee's room is huge, but there's so much stuff in there we do struggle for space... Shame you can't get bunk beds that are cots on the bottom lol...

    I knew it Krystal! Congratulations!!!!

    Don't worry about the bedroom issues, it's hard having 3 in a room, it's harder with mine much older than Amber because they wake her up, but it's doable. You could always get a sofa bed for you and OH in the livingroom. Or just do your loft if you can.

    Uhm... forgot what else. Oh yeah, can I pretend to try (knowing the DH has had the snip) so just so I can have lots and lots of sex? Cos I found this app fro my iphone that tells me I'm fertile from tomorrow lol!

    You could get bunk beds with slats, take the slats out the bottom bunk, put the cot in (you may need to get a smaller cot?) and so long as you put as many slats either side of the cot as you can fit, the bunks will be safe enough. Drop side cot though.

    Any idea what I'm going on about?

    We have a bed settee in the living room... Bloody uncomfortable lol... I'm not so worried about the 3 to a room thing.. When we were children my Aunt had a brain tumour and her children came to live with us for a while... There were 3 boys in 1 room and 2 girls in the other 2 rooms and we all managed to grow up not completely mentally scarred...

    With Any luck we'll move house... But if we're still here when room numbers become an issue it would be easy enough to turn this into a 3 bed with an extra window and some stud wall... A couple of houses on the estate have done it... And my friend round the corner has made hers 4 bed!!

    And you can have all the sex you like...
