hope everyone finds me.

That's lovely Sweetie, but Boo is right, you'll be holding 2!!

Thanks Boo, definitely small snacks. And lots of drink. Like you Sweetie I am constantly thirsty, like nothing can quench it.

Maybe have you tried crisps? I found I really like strong flavoured Seabrooks prawn cocktail and I also found Doritos tangy cheese very appealing. Also Jacobs do cracker packs that have about 2 or 3 in sealed packs so I used to keep them in my bag but I never got that sickly but they could have been very helpful. I also used to carry babybels with me. If I had ever had my bag checked I would have looked like a right freak.

Boo I know you are there to support and don't you worry I will be pestering the hell out of you too very soon

I know, I meant 2. DH has been looking online at baby clothes and kept showing me the things he likes, these were his favourites I think they are a bit pricey but if it keeps him happy and involved who am I to argue. I must admit I liked the Happy Camper and Let it Bee ones.
We have seen another car van for me online so are off to have a look at that today. Then we can chill out this afternoon, DH wants to watch footy and I am going to cook a Sunday roast. Nothing like gender stereotyping in the Sweetie household!!!

They are too cute Sweetie!! Sounds like a lovely Sunday. What roast are you having?

I carry crackers with me everywhere. They're slightly salted ones and are great. I had a thing for prawn cocktail crisps the other week, but now I can't even look at crisps! I have a massive thing for salad and veg though

How is everyone else today? Hope you're settling in well Keep!

maybe the drinking then weeing thing drives me crazy. Once I know I am hydrated I just chew some gum, it fools the body.

First gp visit tomorrow! .... :) excited to get my exemption card too. I have no clue what else to get/ask for. Wonder if they'll be interested in my other notes.

sweetie I wish I could come for your roast, and good luck tomorrow! I think one of each.

Oh solars I wish you were coming too.

Exciting times Keep! I can't wait for it to come through! Do you think they'll give you anther scan? I really hope they do!

Maybe I was exactly the same in the early days, I used to find something I really liked, buy loads then go off it. My cupboard is full of Tunnocks Teacakes and Quavers.

keep I find now that I am desperate to go to the loo, especially in the middle of the night, only to go and only produce an egg cup full. Grrrr. Good luck with the GP appointment tomorrow, I will be Brooking no Argument that you get another scan too. I can not find my exemption card since we moved. I got a prescription for VitD and Calcium and have used it when I had a dentist check up.

As a slight aside does anyone else's dentist put "personal services" on their receipts? It makes me snigger every time. Just wondered.

I am sat here very pogged after cheats Sunday roast. We had chicken in garlic & herbs, roast potatoes, creamed spinach, carrots, mange tout, broccoli and cabbage. Ok so it all came ready packed from M&S but at least it is healthy and we are well fed.

We have also purchased the car van we went to look at this afternoon. Well it was almost a swap for my current car. We go Thursday evening to make the trade and shed a few tears I know I won't regret it as I have to think practically but I will be gutted to get rid of my beloved Fiat 500

Hope no-one notices I am rambling to take my mind off the big day tomorrow

You have had a busy day Sweetie. What a veritable feast!! Sounds immense!! What van car did you go for in the end?

I have a thing for tea cakes at the moment!! Bless MrM. He went and did the weekly shop earlier, and has literally bought everything, just in case it's what I might like to eat

I get up at least twice in the night to pee. Not entirely sure where it comes from.

We had sausage, mash and red onion gravy. With mountains of peas. Can't get enough of them.

You've nothing to worry about lovely. I can't wait to hear what you're having!!!

MrM is a proper hero getting you a bit of everything. You can not beat sausage and mash either.

The car van is a Mazda 5, the main selling point is sliding back doors and massive boot. The buggy we want only folds to 105cm across so the boots needs to be this wide. The sliding doors will be a godsend in most car parks when someone always parks too close to open rear doors and of course I will need to be able to get into both sides. It isn't very glamorous but I think my life will forego glamorous as if it ever was for practical going forward.

Sounds amazing Sweetie. I totally hear you on the boot. MrM is not known for his love of practical cars, but we needed a boot big enough for a buggy and the pup so we had to get a new car too. Otis loves it!!

Yeah, MrM is a bit of alright I suppose . He also got me some Millie's cookies, which I needed. I don't think I have ever bought them before in my life

Maybe my DH is the same when it comes to cars, unless it has off the scale BHP and is THE most uncomfortable ride he doesn't want to know. Glad you guys are happy with your new car, were you due to swap it or where you waiting for BFP?

My DH is now looking at new cars for himself, he can not stand that I will be getting something different and he will have his old one. The fact he has only had it 8 months has been ignored. Bloody men!!!

Are we married to the same man??!!

We weren't really due to swap, but he is incapable of keeping a car for very long!! And he wanted a 'brand new' one. He just used the BFP as an excuse

My DH uses ANY excuse too for a new car. I have lost count how many he has got through in the 4 years we have been together. Nothing wrong with any of them in my humble opinion.

We've had 4 in 5 years. I know far more about cars than I want to!! I'm an auto trader widow!

Ooh sweetie is it scan day tomorrow? I know it's scary before you go, but once you see them both wriggling around it'll be magical. :)

good luck today sweetie
can't wait to find out what flavour they are!

Good luck today sweetie! Can't wait to hear the news!

Good luck Sweetie!! What time are you up?

Solars am I right in thinking you're getting some results today? (though I could very well be making that up )

Scan is at 12, I haven't made the same mistake I did with my 12 week scan by booking it for when dh finished work at 5.30. I was beside myself all that day but not too long to wait today. I am still very anxious about it but trying to think I cannot change it so best to know. I will let you all know how we get on, keep brooking for me lovelies

Brooking like nobody's business Sweetie. T-2.5 hours!!

Sweetie will be thinking about you today. Good luck with the scan today.

So last night while going to heat up a bottle for ds, I slipped and went over my ankle down the stairs. Luckily I don't go down the whole stairs. Just 2-3 steps. Then in the kitchen my eyesight went and I couldn't hear and nearly fainted. First time that's happened.

I had to go straight to bed and couldn't get up. Very strange feeling.

Good luck sweetie, thinking of you. can you believe you're half way through already?!

Oh gosh pen should you call the doctor? Eyesight going is scary..

Pen I agree with Keep, you should go to the doctor. Did you hit your head? Or do you think you fell cos you felt faint?

To be honest I'm not sure what happened. It was 5 in the morning. I was exhausted was going down the stairs then I was on the floor. I was okay when I stood up but by the time I got to kitchen I was felt awful.

Rang the doctor and they have nothing left today and not sure if I should push it today. Meant to be going to get a car seat today but not sure if I should drive.

Have you told the receptionist what happened Pen? And that you're pregnant? I doubt they'd turn you away
