    Thanks all, it was exciting :) very good sonographer, very thorough and explanatory and helpful. We saw lots of stuff very clearly, everything is normal and as it should be, and totally against all our expectations it's a girl :D

    Congratulations on your bright baby Mooki and nice to hear from you again :p fingers crossed redundancy turns into a good thing.

    Sparkle, what a lot of problems :( sorry to hear and hope things pick up quickly!
  • Wow, congratulations Bruno! I am so pleased to hear that everything is as it should be and how lovely that E will have a little sister!


    Mookie- Leila sounds absolutely adorable. Sorry to hear about your job situation, but it's lovely to see you on here.

    Sparkle- I am so sorry to hear about OH's grandma.

    I meant to say earlier that I love that both Alice and MFD's DSS have been worrying about their lack of driving skill recently. It's just too cute!

    How wonderful Bruno - girls are lovely.

    So are boys :)

    Leila sounds adorable - should I start being worried that Molly is very verbal but with only a couple of identifiable meaning-sounds?

  • Yay for a girlie Bruno!! I am very jealous now!!


    I forgot to say earlier - sorry for your loss Sparkle.

    LOL GISI - we were teasing DSS at breakfast about his worry over driving!


    Right - can anybody tell me how much a 2nd hand Joolz goes for on ebay? I have just seen an extremely cheap display model and I am mega tempted to bag the bargain, use on hols and then sell on!

    I wouldn't know Mfd, ours arrived a week after we got back lol... I probably wouldn't use one as hand luggage because of the way it opens out completely, Aimee has a small wheeled miffy suitcase (it's blue actually if you wanted to borrow it?) that unzips just at the top and I found perfect for toys on the plane... Although that was before they cracked down on hand luggage and she had that seperate to my stuff but nobody said anything...

    I still have the graco if you wanted to use it again too...

    Congrats Bruno! Girls are lovely. Even though i want a boy next time :p

    Everyone is having girls, my cousin is due next week. She's on team surpise, i cant stand the suspense!! :D

    I blew up Lilys ball pit today, took me bloody ages! I thought she would like it as she was ok in the ball pit at Krazy Kaves, but she cried.
    I think she was tired though.

    HV called me today and has asked us to come back to re weigh Lily in 2 weeks instead of 4 because of her dropping centiles. I know i shouldn't be worried because she's healthy.
    But she's sooo skinny and you can see her ribs when she breathes in sometimes.
    So i am a little worried.

    She might just take after DH who is the skinniest person ever :o

    She had 2 cubes of puree for lunch, 1 apple 1 pear. I tried a bit and it was soo nice :D

    Back from weigh in and chunky monkey is 21lbs 4 oz (5ozs heavier than Henry at the same time) While I was in there a girl came in with what looked like a week old baby holding her flat but upside down, not supporting her at all, all the other mums and I just looked in disbelief:eek:

    Congrats Bruno on a girl... lovely to have one of each - nothing against my two boys mind)
    Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.

    Were you convinced you were having a boy Bruno, or was it more owning a boy makes you unable to picture yourself with one of a different gender?

    I'm pretty convinced this one is a girl but I don't know what I'm basing that on... <shrugs>
