    It's a boy!!  We are so happy and my boy got what he wished for.  So been shopping like mad and painted his nursery.  His next to you bed arrives today which my bf sister got for us.  His wardrobe arrives this week which my sister bought and I have more or less bought his first years wardrobe in my excitement oops!  My boyfriend also went and got a certain football glasgow team for him, the baby and my boy.  My boy is not a fan of football but he did not want him left out.

    So excited!  16 weeks already, I have midwife on Friday just for blood results etc, not worried as I always think they would know by now as blood was taken 3 weeks ago and if something wrong would have contacted me by now?  My 20 week scan is in September and I am thinking booking 4D scan to surprise my boyfriend round November and hopefully my boy can come too.  Hope all is well and sorry baby post!xx

    I am back in the office so will try post more.  What a strange feeling to be back but as I work in money advice Sturgeon says we are allowed back so my furlough is over.
    Payday is in two days.  This means I can finish my sons birthday by getting his gaming PC I seen in offer in Argos.  

    I have also done a chunk of Christmas this year.  Awaiting news when I can pre order PS5 for my sons christmas and all accessories/ games.  My sister/mum is complete.  My bf is half done.  Want this all completed by November latest due to pregnancy :)

    I am now 17 and half weeks :D cannot wait for this to be over.  I know some people love being pregnant... I am not one of them :)

    Hope all is good xx

    Sounds like things are going really great for you Monz. Lovely news that you'll have another son. Two boys is brilliant, although I am of course biased :) 

    I am like you - I really didn't enjoy being pregnant and couldn't wait to get my body back. I'd give birth 10 times before I'd go through pregnancy again haha 

    I've also got Christmas on the brain. I'm trying to be organised and limit the panic spending through disorganisation. Will you be due in January then (just doing quick maths).

    Glad you're back at work, hope you're feeling well despite not enjoying pregnancy - I'm another one who didn't really love it just glad to meet my little ones eventually!

    Great news on being prepared for Xmas, H x
