LTH - i wouldn't worry too much about eating a worm...think of it as extra meat rations! and you're absolutely right, a naturally grown plum from your own garden is much better than one industrially grown with crap on it, even with a worm!!
as for xmas - we're looking likely to be going to my mum's too, as i can't be arsed cooking a bloody great big dinner (and DP certainly won't! though he says he will, but i know i'd end up doing most of it anyway, otherwise we wouldn't get our xmas dinner till new years!) and also we live just round the corner from my folks! DP did tentatively ask whether we should go to HIS parents, to which my answer was NO!!! (with a few extra rantings about his mum [and her cooking] thrown in for good measure!)
laughalot, don't worry about the pink vibes thing chick! i do want a healthy baby, i'd just kinda like a girl too......perhaps i shouldn't be so bloody demanding eh?! i'd be just as happy with a boy, as my friend (mum of three) said yesterday, "you go through all sorts of weird emotions after childbirth, em, but disappointment isn't one of them!"
i bought some really nice maternity jeans from dorothy perkins, they're almost identical to my other two pairs of normal jeans from there, and nice and baggy so i can keep up my "punky skater chick" look, although now i'm going to be a mum, perhaps it's time i grew out of that....(btw - am i the youngest one on here? i'm 24...) my mum's been fab though and digging out all the patterns she used when she was pregnant with my bro and me and has made me a wicked top and some lovely corduroy trousers, as well as knitting me a really lovely warm shetland cardie. aren't mums great???!!! (sometimes...)
anyway, hope all's well...magnolia i'm thinking of you hun...can't think of what to say except that, but if you were here or i was there i would give you a big hug. maybe. or a danish pastry or something (usually cheers me up...) xxxxxxxx
