Hello again all

Just thought Id post something pointless and rambling but Ive had a really nice weekend. Spent ALL day Saturday cleaning up making my home look like a show home!! Then I treated myself to a pink lining bag (a second hand one off here)...I cannot wait for it to arrive .. I love them!! Then today I went to the car boot this morning and picked up some gorgeous baby clothes for a pound each!! - They're like new, then took my little man, brother and sister swimming!!

Shame weekends are only 2 days long eh?

So lets tell a bit more about ourselves...What do you do for a living and where abouts do you live etc??

I live in Lancashire with my OH of 6 years and my 4 year old little man who starts school this time - boo hoo!! I work full time in legal accounts and have just finished my AAT accounting exams - get my final results in August although I think Im going to have to re-sit my final exam. I go on mat leave in 11 weeks - yay!! Im 25 weeks now so will have a month before bubba arives.

Im on team yellow because the little monkey had its feet between its legs, - was thinking of having a 4d scan but decided against it (I think!!) because OH doesnt want any more - And now Im quite excited about the "its a .... " part.

Okay thats enough rambling on from me now!! Looking forward to learning a bit more about you ladies

Hello,

Wish you lived closer Dom as I wouldn't mind my house looking like a show home!

Little bit about me.....
I live in Oxfordshire with my OH of 4.5 years and are expecting our first on the 4th November. We are on team yellow, managed to persuade OH not to find out although he had his face up to the screen during the scan, but 'lentil' was very dignified and didn't flash us anything!

My last day at work is 2nd October (time is flying by) and OH has just booked his annual leave and if 'lentiil' on time then he will be home for 6 weeks with us including paternity leave and if not he then he be home for 3 weeks minimum.

I am a finance officer/mgmt accountant for 4 nurseries. I did my AAT exams a few years ago but been really bad and still not done the project for it planning on doing it whilst on maternity leave and starting ACCA in the summer. Goodluck for your results, I am sure you have done better than you think!

Well enough waffle from me, am off to raid the freezer for more ice cream.

Welcome to my thread Willow

About me? Well me and OH have been together for 3 years at the end of August and married for 2 years on the 8th August. This is our first baby together and we'd been TTC for 2 years last November and finally got blessed at the end of Jan this year.

I don't work - havent done for nearly 2 years due to my OH having slight autism and depression. It doesn't bother me as I can spend more time with baby.

We found out at my 20-week scan (well i was nearly 22 weeks actually) that we were going to have a boy which pleased OH and FIL as we are giving FIL his first grandson (OH's sister has 2 girls)

Don't know what else to say other than good luck with your exam Dom!

Aw thanks guys!!

So, how are you all feeling now? Cant believe we're nearly in 3rd tri already...its going sooo fast, just hope the mat leave doesnt go as fast as this!

People are still saying stuff like "can i ask you an insulting question - you are pregnant arent you?" and "I thought you were but didnt ask just incase!" to me!! But when I had my belly measured last week it was bob on size - How are you ladies measuring up??

My little man woke up this morning and said "I had a terrible dream mummy that a bad man came and took the baby away and flew up into the sky and wouldnt bring it back" - Pretty deep for a 4 year old and quite scary really. I dont know what to think about it all - Been having plenty of wallops in the ribs today so know its not "floated" anywhere, but still frightened me.

Anyone any thoughts on that?
