6ft by 8 inches is pretty small for a room, I agree. You could still squeeze a few George Foreman grills in though so job's a goodun.0

We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.

We found it helpful to know for the second one, in particular, because we were able to talk with DS about how he was going to have a baby sister etc.
When I was pregnant with DS, we picked a name and a middle name for a boy, and a name for a girl, but couldn't find a middle name that we both liked that went with it. Then we had the 20 week scan and were told he was a boy, so shelved the question of a middle name for a girl. With DD, we didn't bother thinking about names until after the scan, at which they said she was a girl, so we had a very quick conversation in the car on the way home in which we both agreed that picking a girl's name we both liked had been hard enough the first time round, and we didn't want to have to go through all that again, so we'd just stick with what we'd chosen three years earlier. We finally picked her middle name a couple of weeks before the due date.
The funny thing was that we'd talked hypothetically about baby names years earlier when we were newly married. I'd mentioned a girl's name that I really liked, but LNE said he hated it and would never want a daughter called that. But he seemed to have forgotten all about that when I suggested it when it came to the point, and was happy to choose it, so that's what she's called. I remembered all about it, but I never told him.
We weren't allowed to know when I had my boys, so the bump was just bump for all 3.
I did find out with middle son though, had to have a late scan as he was messing about with his position and when they put the scanner on, there was a lovely picture of boy bits spread across the screen....the midwife and scanner tried to convince me I hadn't seen what I had seen (as they could have got into trouble) but there was no mistaking it! I didn't tell now ex hubby though, he had his heart set on a girl, was absolutely convinced it was a girl and I thought it would ruin the surprise for him.
Between my parents, siblings and me, only one owns a house, used to be two though....We made it!

Never seen one of those. Do you worry that it might collect germs if it's never cleaned out, or can you clean them?
No and no. I assume it has been designed not to harbour germs.

If the boys had been girls, eldest and middle would have been Bethannie (different spelling on purpose) or Laura and youngest Jessica.

No and no. I assume it has been designed not to harbour germs..
We had a similar one in our last place. The ice maker wasn't particularly sophisticated - just an ice cube tray on the end of a motorised stick. Every few hours the motor kicks in and the tray rotates dropping the cubes out, then more water is poured in. Given the whole lot is in the freezer there seems limited potential for it to turn into a breeding ground for germs which struggle to multiply at -7 degrees or whatever.
I was disappointed with how rudimentary the technology was and the fact that it basically took up half the freezer. It was still better than filling up the tray myself of course...0
