Hello all!
mamap helllllooooooooo I'm doing well thanks - the breathlessness seems to have gone away except if I get really knackered (which doesn't take much)... MS has largely gone away, except again if I'm knackered I start dry retching again. Is there any way you can give yourself a bit of a break to catch up on sleep, you have been so crazy busy lately. Your bar looks amazing by the way, I've been stalking it on the internet :)
Hehehe to all the doppler chat - I've been lucky and the dr/midwife have picked up the heartbeat straightaway both times but I've banned DH from getting one (he is desperate to) as unfortunately he can't listen in without my co-operation and although he's sensible enough that it won't cause him to mental, it will definitely freak me out if he can't find it!!
dachs I've been looking at prams too, and like you I think I'll wait until the 20 week scan and then probably the purchasing brakes will be off. I don't think you can jinx anything and if, god forbid, something did happen to your pups and JL won't take it back, if it's limited edition and they're not going to start making them again until September, you'll sell it on again for basically the same money no probs if it's new and boxed. But clearly you're not going to end up in that scenario, and the risk of being disappointed that they've run out is much higher IMO.
Oooh all this homebirth chat is interesting. I have gone mental and booked an independent midwife . This is mainly because I'm terrified of DH and I being left without a midwife for long periods of time when we're in the hospital and also because she gives fab post natal support and I'm keen to give breast feeding a try. But using an IM means that we could have a homebirth in a birthing pool.... Mum thinks this is the maddest, most dangerous idea ever. I'm not so sure, I think it could be nice and a lot less stressful than going to hospital but don't know if I'd be stressed that I was quite a long way from medical help if needed. Think I need to give this lots more thought but it's nice to have the option.
I've just been to Champneys and spent my birthday vouchers from last year on a 'beautiful bump' massage - was completely amazing. Reckon I'll ask for more vouchers for my birthday in August this year and get another done when I'm hopefully as big as a house.
velvet eggs would be fab is you can stomach them? Did you have a scan today? How did it go?
banana sorry you're still so sick - did you have any luck with the coconut water?
wombat LMAO that is fab!! 
I am quite impressed that you managed to get them on the wrong way round!
I hope the stork recovers from owly's beating soon and brings YRMOTB a much deserved BFP.
Right, off to bed again!!
