Time to be completely honest

Glad to hear that things are going well. I hope you're feeling OK. I look forward to following the baby progress alongside the DFW stuff on your thread now.

Sea, your posts on my baby thread have been really helpful, I'm not sure there's much anyone can tell you about the baby stuff that you don't already know! Although if I can help with anything at all, you will ask, wont you.

I'm so glad it's gone well, lets hope this baby will be the fresh start you need.

Now doing the form, but baby thoughts keep popping into my head. Keep fingers crossed for a sticky one! I really hope (does anyone not?) that everything goes ok and there is a healthy baby in there growing.

Desperate to tell people, but it's just too early. I'm making a drs app on Monday as I'm on anti-d's and need to discuss that. ALso going to get folic acid etc on prescription - I guess it's free now.

On with the form anyway!!

It is hardly surprising that baby thoughts keep popping in. Would be more worrying don't you think, if they didn't!

I hope you get a quick appointment at the Docs but don't tell too many people early on. Just in case, although I am sure that everything will be absolutely fine x

No, that's what I'm thinking too. We've not told people before until about 8 weeks, and then quite a lot only after the first scan, so it'll be the same for this one. Shame I found out SOOOO early

I take it you will be dropping out of the Lenny vs the girls weight loss challenge now then!!

Sea78

No not quite - I'm not really aiming to lose weight, just not pile it on with gay abandon like before! Both times I've had the baby I@ve been beyond wiped out and with DS (being a big baby) I felt like he'd taken all my energy! I'd like to just gain 2 - 2 1/2 stone really as that's healthy given everything. I don't think I can 'do' another massive baby!! lol - like I have a choice!

But Im going to be aiming to eat as healthily as possible and maintain my weight for a little while yet - not gain 7lbs by 12 weeks as with DS!!

Right, done a rubbish section of my form - one to go tonight and it's nearly done! (and stats to add tomorrow) But on a break (yes, seem to be on more breaks than working) I have written down all the birthdays for the next year I need to buy for as well a Christmas list I need to get. Have cut anyone who doesn't give me/kids one back or give thank yous if unable to give one back. - sounds selfish, but one particular person I send pressies to every year and it ends up i have to phone them in jan to see if they received it . Which they always have. Anyway, doesn't look too bad really. Not a hideous amount and with tesco points and boots points, as well as the vouchers for my surveys etc I think I'll be ok. Need to get as much as possible in advance so no big going out and splurging sessions just before birthday or christmas.

I now need to look through and see what events are coming up that I will need to budget for. I'll need to get a stack of pressies put aside for DD's school parties and start planning DS's and DD's birthday parties to avoid any unnecessary party spending - intend to have them here, simple, home made food and party games (for DD - DS's can still be an adult one really with a few kids - but jut realised I won't be drinking).
