    Ah thank you Wendz! I really didn't like them when I first saw them, I was really disappointed :o but I've started sorting out my favourites and it has made me love them more. I think I was just being weird about it!

    Well my scan took a lot longer than expected! :o Went in and the sonographer was all flustered as they were running late and couldn't get a good view of my placenta so she told me to go back later after having loads of water and jiggling the baby about, so went back at 1.50... everything was good and we're TEAM BLUE. :) Baby was mooning us and we got a perfect view of his dangly bits, there was no question about it! :rotfl:

    Little disappointed as I'm so girly and always wanted girls but I had a feeling it'd be a boy so not that surprised TBH. OH was convinced it was a girl so took some time to come around to it but he's now so excited about having a little Jedi- he's planning a Star Wars nursery now! :p

    Shrimpy, your wedding pics are lovely! :) And I agree that you're definitely joint first! :T

    Birdie! So happy for you :) I know it's not what you were gunning for, but I always pictured you with a little boy. Glad everything's okay! :D

    Glad the scan went well Birdie and WOW - shocked to you on team blue! Everyone always says boys are the ones really attached to their mummy cuddles.

    Busy day of baby socialising today. Went on a playdate at the park this morning, then a sling walk this afternoon for a few hours.

    Ahhh thanks girls! :) He's looking perfectly healthy and was very lively so we're happy. I think the nursery will be built this week!

    OH's party was good Tink, I don't think many people got it as oddly, they're not all as geeky as OH is, but he was ridiculously happy with everything I'd done! :cool: The only problem is that he won't let me take down the little posters I'd put up all over the place! Doh! :p

  • Knew it would be a boy! Congrats Birdie, lovely news :) Will be nice to have two boy cousins so close in age too.

    I've now moved north of the border for work, finally moved in after been a nomad for a couple of week. Still lots to go used to at work and plenty to get unpacked, moving is stressful! And blooming expensive, waiting for old site to sign off my expenses before I can apply for any more from this one so I am poor :(
