hey babysaurus - my wee sister is a type 1 too (and epileptic) - she had a couple of losses before her wee boy finally arrived earlier this year - he's a huge baby though! was 6lb 12 oz at 32 weeks!! but doing really really well :) hope it all goes ok for you.
DH and I were talking about names yesterday because I've had my heart set on 1 girls name for a while, but DS has 2 little friends with the same name, so I've gone off it now. Anyway, we have agreed on a girls name, but have no idea about a boys name. the problem is, FIL and BIL speak no english, and DH pronounces things weirdly sometimes, so we need a name that we like, and which the whole family can pronounce. DS has the most popular boys name of his year of birth too, so we don't want anything too wacky, as it may not sit right with his name. Also, my name is unusual, and DH's is very unusual in the UK, and our surname is unique in the UK, so we don't want a unique first name too! Oh well, as dilemmas go, it's quite a nice one, deciding a name!!
I'm not looking at pushchairs yet, but think we'll need a double for a while. I may borrow one if I can though.
Mamma - I had a diet coke every day when pg with DS - I did check, and more than that is probably not advisable, but it was one of the few things I could stomach. I don't drink tea or coffee, so for me it's the only caffiene I have in the day! so I imagine a coke is no big deal :) (DH and I went to the world of coca cola too whilst I was pg, and tried all the different beverages manufactured by the coke corporation, and diet coke was one of the least objectionable by a long way!!)
