Oh that seems like a nice age gap Frus...enough time to forget the joyful labor experience? Actually don't answer that :-)
Just arranged to call BF tonight for a catch up chat. Going to break the news...eek! So nervous about it because she's in such a different place right now. Really hope pray she has v happy new boyf news to tell me! I just want to be as sensitive as possible about it all but I'm a bit hyper about it at the moment so that's tricky

Oh sorry Mrs I knew after I wrote that you may take that the wrong way :-) What I meant is that you've got a clear zoomed out shot so you can see what's going on around bean rather then just the uterus if that makes sense? Kind of looks like a fancy sculpture. Oh no does that sound worse :-/ I mean it in a nice fascinating way. Someone please pass me the spade

Aw cute little baby bump mrs 
I think 3 children might actually be madness, but i figure my life can't get much more manic than it already is.

We had planned 3, but the gap between 1 and 2 was smaller than originally planned, and this gap a little bit bigger, but all is good. Dd1 took over a year ttc, but 2 and 3 were much less.
I think 3 is a good number. And because of the bigger age gap they can be useful and able to help (fetch wipes and nappies).
Do you plan on waddling mrs? are you a semi or a detatched? I plan on being a tower block. 
it will slow down.

Aww look at your baby bump! I'm going to take one tomorrow to show you, fun idea. Although I'm positive mine is just fat because when we hear the baby's heartbeat it's still below my belly button so I can only assume its fat. Or is it our uterus preparing for the baby. TBH I'm a bit confused
Ok, I was on the phone for 1.5hrs hence the delay. Should not have had that 6pm nap as now not tired! BF took it a lot better then I expected. She said she was expecting it so that helps a lot I guess. She seemed genuinely happy for me so that was nice. Feels even weirder telling her. Still feel like I'm making this all up and lying to everyone

No worries, pear DH wants 4 just doesn't know it yet. He was a bit reluctant to start trying for this one because we've finally been able to sleep through the night and now we're back at square one at being sleep deprived for a year. Hooray!
We told the boys tonight! My oldest (4) just looked at me and said "Why?" and that was the end of the discussion! I'm sure the questions will come soon enough....

I'd quite like 4 but DH only wants 2 so the plan is to have 2, wait 4 years, & then bully him discuss the idea of more!
I'm watching Hoobs again... Today we learnt about yawning & different ways to make cabbage hoobage more palatable! It'll be on channel 4+1 soon if anyone wants to catch it!
I remember my 7 year old niece calling me to retell me that her mum was pregnant: "Jojo, DH, mum's havin' a bay-bee" followed by exactly when it would happen, which hospital & that we should come visit in the hospital afterwards! All in an answerphone message that I managed to record & have saved on my computer!

The middle child issue won't be such a problem as it was in my family if we have twins. The main problem was that there was 2 years between me & my brother but 6 between me & little sister. 'The girls' were always grouped together which left me playing with toys far too young for me & her growing up too fast. I was very naive for my age which led to bullying issues at school. I can't help feeling that things would've been different if my parents hadn't left such a gap between us! I guess it was more the age gap & them treating us the same that was the problem, rather than it being a middle child thing! Given that there'll be a maximum of 20 months between these 2(/3?) I don't think we'll have that problem!

Ahhh pear it's a little baby ( just had a look at your pics) love when you can see a proper face shape!
Nic, that was a really zoomed our pic, very clear though!!
There will be a maximum of 20 months for me to Jojo, would have only had a 16/17 month age gap of I hadn't had a mc but now looking at that fact makes me go eeek!!
I was desperate for another a month after dd was born and from then on but looking back it was because new borns are easy ( I had a good sleeper) when they hit 1you think crap this looking after kids milarkey is really hard! not that I'd change it

Loving the scan pics and not at all jealous 
.
Feeling rough as anything today. Went to get my hair cut last night, felt great. Got home and got a whopper of a migraine. Full on aura-type. I couldn't see anything properly for about 40 mins. Popped two paracetamol and got into bed at 8.30 and there I stayed until my alarm went off this morning (with the usual pee and snack breaks thrown in). Headache is mostly gone but feel so groggy.
Really not loving this pregnancy lark with migraines and sciatica thrown into the mix.
