    hey bunny, just looked at my phone now :) I don't think I can make it this week, hubby is home for the day so I had best make the effort and cook him dinner. Typical, he's away all week and gets thursday off.

    I think I need a catch up with you though, if you know what I mean :D

    Oh and yeah, I'm feeling a bit better today. I had a bit of a me day with an afternoon on the sofa watching a girly movie I shouldn't have yet :rotfl:

    Hoping to get a docs appointment this week before I go on holiday. Its really weird to think just a week ago I was sharing my concerns that I couldn't have a baby (still having difficulty with the p word by the way) and I must already have conceived. HIs last words to me were 'hope to see you at the ante natal clinic soon'!

    Once doc has confirmed (and based on the reading I've done this evening he most likely will) we've decided to tell parents without waitng but not anyone else until week 12 is safely over. Not sure how I'm goign to manage to keep it all inside...

    When I went to the doctor she didn't do a thing other than just send a letter to the antenatal clinic. I think my first appointment there was at about 10 weeks for the booking in.

    As for foods, the midwife said that as long as eggs are lion marked I am ok to have them runny. Also, I can have shop bought mayo and coleslaw but not from a restaurant who may make their own. No apple juice and the like which isn't pasturised. Some shellfish is ok, like prawns (once a week) but no oysters or things like that because they have high levels of mercury. No liver or anything with a lot of vitamin A. And no unpasturised cheese or blue cheese (which sucked because I craved stilton like mad). I would get some folic acid pills from the doctor too just to be on the safe side, although I take a prenatal multivitamin every day.

    Hope you don't mind me asking - when are you due? Feb 2009 seems like an awfully long way off...

    I'm so looking forward to telling Mum & Dad the GC number 3 is on the way. My youngert brother has 2 boys but contact is limited since he broke up with his girlfiend a few years ago. Distance doesn't help with them in Plymouth and the kids in Aberdeenshire...

    Hubbles just made a scary comment - there's twins in his family. They're in mine too:eek:

    I'm sure they will be over the moon, nothing like the reaction we got from my inlaws, and my father come to think of it :)

    Have you picked out any names yet :rotfl:

    I think the twins thing is carried through the female side Luc.

    Just been looking at holiday cottages - could go abroad for less! a day trip to Millport will have to do us...

    Tell me about it. I'm just really grateful Mum and Dad live in such a beautiful part of Britain and are happy to have us use them as a B&B

    see - I can talk about something else...:p
