    Ohh exciting about the potential meeting.

    I am feeling excited at the moment but starting to feel more nervous. OH and I are off shopping today for honeymoon stuff then tomorrow we are heading down to Southampton which is when it will all seem real I think!

    Really lovely to see all went well at the scan Birdie .

    Glad the scan was smooth Birdie, and you get an extra one which will be fun.

    glad you're doing OK Lara xx

    The vintage fair was fun, made for great people watching as there were some obviously seasoned vintage fairers as they were dressed up to the nines and there was one group that set up their picnic area with a table, chairs, a cake stand (packaged Jaffa Cakes instead of something homemade though, we judged them for that!) and a gramaphone! :) We were much more comfortable sprawled out on our blankets though and we had loads more food than them, so there! :p

    We'll have to find out good dates for everyone in October and get train tickets booked soon! :) We said that it will have to include a trip to Liberty so we can coo over the fabric and buttons. :)

    Thanks for saying nice things about my scan. :) It went well although I was so desperate to pee (I may have gone overboard on how much I drank as last time I had a scan my bladder wasn't full enough and I had to have an internal _pale_) and it was pretty painful as she was prodding me pretty hard and telling me to relax, which was impossible! :o Saw baby's little arms and legs waving around, was incredible! :) We have to go back on Monday as the baby was 0.6mm too small for the Downs screening measurements but the sonographer seemed really pleased with how it looked if a little annoyed at it being just that little bit too small. I was also quite relieved that there's only one in there! :)

    OH's Mum is going shopping today... she's been in Mamas and Papas more than I have! :p

    Mamas and Papas have some really good discounts at the moment as its the last few days of their sale, a lot of their maternity wear is over 50% off.

    Been thinking about you too Lara, hope you're okay x

    The vintage fair was lovely, wish I'd taken more photos (snapped one, like last time!) Still feel so guilty about not bringing food, then not going for the ice-cream :o Was so nice to meet Tink and Poddle too - sorry my car was making crazy noises, Tink (he's fixed now!)

    I can't really do the first weekend in October - too close to my Mum's birthday, her and Laura would kill me if I made other plans! (well, wait for me to get home from London, then kill me)
