Flip - well remembered - its my DD's 4th birthday on Tuesday and we are having a party on Saturday (its half term this week in Scotland). Looking forward to it all and, to be honest, its a good distraction. Will be cake baking with her on Tuesday morning (although she will probably just decorate it in an "inspired by Versace" extravagant way - glitter and pink icing flowers everywhere!)
Cheese - my scan is on Wednesday afternoon. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for yours in a few weeks. The movement sounds promising but it must be impossible to relax and enjoy this without thinking "if all goes well". My friend lost her first daughter at 39 weeks and I remember how difficult she found her second pregnancy (which was successful).
Have now planned a trip to Paris in the spring with DH as a consolation if the scan brings bad news. Not quite the same as a baby but definitely something that you can't do with a newborn...Trying to have a positive focus for the bad news.
Don't think I mentioned the pram choice thing last time. I started off with a Bebe Confort Loola which was fab because I lived up 3 flights of stairs and had no car, hence it was useful to have a removable carrycot for taking the baby upstairs. It was tricky to steer with one hand though - not great for coffee drinking/mobile phone using while walking in the park. So, when DD was 1 we got the bugaboo bee (without carry cot). I loved it as I love parent facing buggies. Plus it is so narrow that I could fit into everywhere a Maclaren fit into. Basket was good too. Once DD had become only an occasional buggy user, around aged 2.5, (and I had a car) I got an old maclaren from a neighbour and just used that. It was ideal for keeping in the car, taking on hols etc.
Friends with Bugaboo Chameleons absolutely rave about them. I think they are a great choice if you want to splash out! I certainly wouldn't turn one down!
Hope everyone had a good weekend!
