    I think I would despair if I had to put Caitlyn in a bed now... There's no way she'd lie in it and go to sleep...

    No I haven't (and am not planning to). Based on my longest recorded luteal phase, I reckon I'll be sure by Thursday. (Based on symptoms I'm currently about 90% sure I must be.)
    Excellent:) I will be impatiently awaiting Thursday, but it does sound like you are pretty certain anyway:D

    THAT OTHER BABY HAS CAUGHT UP TO BENJAMIN!!!! I insist that anyone who hasn't voted do so, there is no way this travesty can be allowed to stand.

    Incidentally, I don't want to speak ill of babies, but I can't believe they think some of those babies are cuter than Molly - and they have two of the same baby, which I think is unfair.
    I agree:mad:

    I fully agree - Molly is just gorgous. (and I thought that when I first saw pictures of her, before I 'knew' you so not just being biased!)

    EA - thanks :)

    Susan - I can't believe your self-restraint. I'd have had to test immediately to be sure lol. :)

    I've been scouring the local charity shops for a jumperoo or hop n pop today but they were all rubbish and had virtually no baby stuff at all :mad: I've never thought to look in charity shops before but my friend got a lot of really good stuff from some last week.

    T has really cheered up since DH got home.....blooming typical now that there's two of us to look after him lol.

    But you're not supposed to be able to test until you think your period is due anyway? It just seems like a bit of a waste of money to spend 99p on a test when I don't need to.

    Oh I think I understand now....so by charting you've actually got a head start on knowing? I thought you were past the point where you could test and had incredible will power. I was one of the impatient ones who'd be (pointlessly) testing days after OVing :o

    I was totally impatient as well lol I started testing a week before period was due but it paid off cos i had a faint line on my first test and then I tested every day and the line got darker and darker lol
