Love your little ticker Lara. How are you feeling?

I know it is early days for you both but I would recommend this:

Thanks CMD. I haven't got many symptoms yet, just a bit tender, and more thirsty than usual. Probably more emotional too!

Still a bit freaked out about PhD finalising and being PG. There's a lot to handle at the moment, and it's hard not being able to talk to anyone about it. We didn't tell our parents yet as it's so early, but wondering if we should just get on with it

I was very emotional in the early pregnancy stages. I remember it well!

We told our parents very early on for both pregnancies. It was great to have their support and also they were so excited!

I still am :rotfl:

We told our parents quite early with both but no one else. Feel like a right wimp looking at that hypno-birthing was only talking to OH about labour earlier today and I told him they HAVE to give me the pethadine again as soon as possible :rotfl:

Oh God, please no mentions of labour/birth just yet! :eek:

I felt so dizzy and headachey yesterday I went home from work at 11 and camped out on the sofa doing naff all until bedtime. Was lovely just getting some proper chillout time, think I've been accidentally overdoing it a little! OH bought me an ice cream to cheer me up too which helped! Back in work today as I'm a bit paranoid about people thinking I'm 'milking it' once they all find out but would have loved to spend another guilt-free day lying around! If it wasn't for the fact that OH is home all morning and we get under each other's feet when I'm off work I'd have been very tempted to throw a sicky!

Are you super crazily excited about the wedding Wendz?! Only 2 and a half weeks to go! :j When do you go on your honeymoon?

I guess big thanks are in order, we just got our letter through from the DWP regarding Grace's DLA and she's been assessed as dropping from higher rate to middle rate, but this still means she gets about £53 a week, which I was just going to cancel. So thank you all for being so harsh and making me keep up the claim.

Grace is completely obsessed with books the last few days, it's so cute! Not so much about me reading to her, but her sitting and 'reading' on her own.

That is great news Dinah! You definately deserve it so dont think you don't.

Hope you are feeling more normal today Birdie.

Very excited about the wedding! Paid off the DJ and photographer today. Going to southampton this weekend to do lots of wedding bits so will be a busy one. The honeymoon is 3 day after so need to try and sort stuff for that out before as well.

Aww Wendz, that's brilliant! So excited for you, it's such a special (if hectic) time.

Glad to hear about the DLA, Dinah

Birdie85

Great news about the DLA Dinah! Must be nice to know that they've assessed her properly and still giving you some money so you don't feel like you're getting something you're not entitled to.

Very cute about Gracie's 'reading' too. I was like her apparently, always with my head in a book well before I could actually read!

Eeeep so exciting about the wedding and honeymoon Wendz!

The vintage fair is next weekend you know... we really ought to make some plans!!!

Fantastic news, I have to say I am loving the picture of Grace in her glasses, she looks gorgeous!

Lovely to see/read about you really enjoying your time with her now and your positivity
