Yay that's lovely Dinah and NIM, I knew it would be a boy! And congratulations to Dr Lara too

Ah that's fab news Dinah and NIM!

Congratulations Dr Lara and Dinah and NIM. One of each is pretty much the dream!

Nothing much happening around here; started the new job and it's going ok. Wedding planning is coming along; venue is booked, photographer is booked and we've decided on a band but just need to see them once more live to definitely book them.

Aww, so much good news! So happy for you Lara, you're like a proper adult or something!!

Sounds like everything's going so well for you, ROTE! Wont be long until you're at 50% I'm sure

So excited for another threadie baby boy! I'm sure you'll think of a great name. Really want to share our boy name but it's amazing AND Irish AND pretty unique so I think NIM might steal it. I don't want to have to go Charlotte on anyone.

Stayed up for Wrestlemania last night and I'm pooped on 1 hours sleep. All my own fault, I can't complain. But I'm emotionally drained from the experience

Hope you've caught up on your sleep Cinny! The upside of getting up at silly o'clock with the boy is that I had it downloaded and ready to watch with OH before 8am and typically Zach slept through it all, fancy napping through your first Wrestlemania!

A day late but hope everyone had a good weekend! We had the in-laws babysit for a couple of hours on Saturday night (so handy having them live 5 minutes away, we decided we wanted to go out so called MIL and dropped him off in the space of about 10 minutes!), we had a drink with some friends then went for a thai meal. Was so lovely being 'normal' for a little while! On Sunday we went to my nephew's 1st birthday party which Zach pretty much slept through (seeing a theme here?!) but the other kids seemed to have fun. It was a Baby Sensory party as SIL is obsessed with it and has been pushing me to go which I will when the Boy is capable of staying awake through anything fun as it was nice and I enjoyed the songs! OH didn't seem impressed typically and was horrified when I said that our local group is on a morning so he'll have to take Zach along once I go back to work!

Glad the wedding planning is going well Ruby! Are you enjoying it? Glad the job's going OK too.

I've only just figured out what the bits on the scan are, was so excited about the 'It's a boy' bit that I didn't look too closely. There's not much doubt about what he's got going on down there!

I know right?! I'm a little scared of that scan pic, his junk is halfway to his knees!

Italy is gorgeous although the roads around here are terrifyingly narrow. Grace is loving all the attention from having 3 of us to dote on her every whim. Bump is now as big as I was at 28 weeks last time we think...19+5 today.

Ok so I have only just figured out the scan pic - fourth attempt! I felt like Rachel in Friends!

I had an eventful weekend as OH broke his collarbone playing football Sunday morning so I had to take him to A&E. He wanted to stay and watch the rest of the game but thankfully was persuaded otherwise!

Italy sounds lovely Dinah and just what you need. Glad bump is doing well, I think it's usual to get much bigger quicker with your second isn't it? As everything has already stretched once to accommodate a baby? I dreamt my mum was hugely pregnant last night which was kind of disturbing as she is in her sixties!

Birdie85

Zach's junk was not unlike that in his scan- OH was so proud!

Glad you're enjoying Italy! Good news that you're growing a good bump too- make sure you grow it even more with pasta and gelato!

Sorry to hear about your poor OH Shrimpy! Hope he heals quickly!

Thanks Birdie - the hospital were really dismissive of it so I'm sure he'll be fine but it looks super gross _pale_ I need to toughen up!

Hi everyone! Have not been around for a long time because have just had my hands so full. Not had a very easy few months with Poppy and she is a completely different baby to DS! She has spent a lot of time bein poorly and having tests done but fingers crossed we seem to have turned a corner.

Have tried to have a quick flick through and delighted to hear about the safe arrival of baby Zack, Birdie hope you are doing well!

And lovely news about your pregnancy Dinah, hope everything goes smoothly for you.

Sorry if I have missed any other news xxx
