Well, it's an emotional topic, I think we can be forgiven I just don't how I will be when they leave to go to uni: I will be sobbing like crazy :rotfl:

Awwwwwwww. It's like Elizabeth Stone once wrote: "Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body."

My mum admitted to me she cried when I went to pre-school for the first time. But I, ungrateful daughter, was so happy :rotfl:

That's a lovely quote ellie!

These things always make me choke up a bit too...depending on how hormonal I am or what kind of day I'm having all sorts of things will get to me though. I've been known to have a little tear at the aptamil advert on tv lol

I'm at home going a bit stir crazy this morning waiting for it to be time to go to my job interview. I was totally chilled about the interview until last night when I had a mini panic...can't wait for it to be over and out of my hands!

I hope the interview went well Browneyedbazzi! I know what you mean: we're fine until it actually dawns on us that a panel of people will be judging everything we say/do, etc! But what a relief once it's over.

Awww, yes, some adverts really make me tear up too! And today I saw a mother with her toddler, they were talking and she looked so happy and her son was just so adorable! I had to stop and say "what a cute little boy!" I just couldn't help myself

And I weighed myself today, and after several weeks of losing nothing, I lost 4lbs :cool: It just comes in waves with me!

I hope everyone had a lovely day

Well done on the weight loss, Ellie! I'm trying to loose some weight before we start fully trying. 2lb so far

For those buying while things are cheap you can currently get the huggies new born kits (27 new born nappies, a packet of wipes and cotton pads) for £3 in Asda, then there's a coupon inside for £1 off a packet of huggies wipes which are currently £1. So free! Makes the nappies less than 4p each if you take the cost of the huggies wipes alone off. So really good! I only got one pack, as we plan on using reusables but thought as long as our baby isn't a total beast they should see us through the first few days while we get settled. Hope this makes sense

Love that poem! I've saved it as I know either OH's Parents or Nan (if I edit it a bit!) will love it when the time comes. I've been a complete wreck emotions wise these past few days, cried at my Sister this morning as she was mentioning moving to America. I just burst out in tears asking her not to go I don't even know where that came from!

Thank you Ellie - the interview went well and they called to offer me the job an hour after I left! I was quite surprised because recruitment processes for local government jobs are usually painfully slow and I hadn't expected to hear anything until next week some time. Waiting for my partner to get home tonight so we can have a proper talk about it and decide what to do. They want an answer tomorrow so not much time to think about it!! He'll be a while yet so I'm yo-yoing between baking cakes (birthday at work tomorrow) and looking at properties near to the new job on rightmove lol.

Cinny - it's probably best not to stock up too much on nappies and wipes in advance because nappies have a best before date on them and can go 'off' and also for wipes and nappies some babies don't get on with some brands.

I definitely won't be buying anything for a while...if I take this new job then I think it'll be another year before we ttc so that I can qualify for all the additional maternity benefits before going off.
