    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...
    and what is wrong with Millport?:rolleyes:

    Anyway, I'm off.

    Feeling quite tired after the emotional roller coaster and excitement, plus Hubbles wants to look at some rugby sites.

    I'll be back, cos I can't talk to anyone else about all this yet and you're all fab- is there a maternity thread for tips???

    G'night

    TYPICAL!!!!!!!! I miss all the happy news!!!

    congratulations Lucifa! Now we know why you've been avoiding us!!

    Being pregnant is the most amazing thing in the world, and i'd do it again but i'm not into babies (does that make sense, Bun/jinky didn't we have this conversation in glasgow?!)

    It's such a steep learning curve but don't believe everything you read and all the advice you're given (unless it's officially sourced MSE-er advice, in which case believe it! lol)

    And you really don't have to buy everything you're advised of. in fact i would go so far as to say, you don't have to buy a single outfit age 0-3 or 3-6 as you will get given clothes and the baby will live in babygro's anyway and puke up on anything nice you put it in!!! lol

    OMG possible twins, eh? Well we like BOGOF's here, very MSE!!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
