hello hello hello
Im here.... so so so sorry for being away for a while, think i last was here before easter...
Long story short..... went down south for Easter with OH, had lovely time but naughty car broke.... OH flew home, i was stuck with no car waiting for it to fix (+ve side it WAS in warantee didnt cost us a penny (other than flights for OH at £40) and would have had a 4 figure bill otherwise)..... eventually arrived back Thurs pm.... had another long bank holiday with OH, and this week has been manic (Not sure why, but i have not paused even for a moment, and havent even made time to do my hypno-birth CD).... When i have been away from the thread I always figure it will take me ages to read all and catch up and comment (not a quick 5 mins) and since being back i just havent had the time..... MASSIVE APLOGIES BUT I AM HERE AND ALL IS WELL

New here:
My best friend had her baby at the weekend
Zoe, Susie, 5ib 15, she made it to 9cm with NO PAIN RELEIF AT ALL and hadnt even felt the need to use her TENS machine... arrived at birthing unit, 9cm, striaght in birthing pool, but not for long, pushed for 8mins and had a baby girl.
(wish i have a birth like that, especially for 1st baby!!!!!!!) start to finish was 10 hours!
Tuesday we had our 20 week scan (at 21+2) baby fine and healthy and all good news. Initially baby was moving, and while they were looking at other parts, they didnt notice any boy bits... Later on when looking legs were tightly closed and they couldnt see anything at all. No boy OR girl bits visible.
Guessing a girl but very very very unsure!
We have decided NOT to have a 4D scan to find out, so it will be a surprise, but probably female. Who knows. If a girl she has a name (unless we change our minds). A name i have NEVER considered but OH likes, and I do too. We shall see!
Have also chosen our cot bed, and have got OR chosen most things now (except for clothes) Went ikea / baby shopping at weekend 
My sickness is improving i think... Though back to daily / every other day, but i dont feel "ill" with it. My new thing is heartburn. OUCH 
We have no plans for this weekend, but i now feel well enough to have a good sort out etc (at last
) and my next mission is new bathroom, and sort the nursery. (ie move / get rid of furniture & get baby stuff in)
Going to go and bake a cake (not bakes a cake since being PG (& i LOVE baking) and make homemade pizza for dinner. Also got lots of filing and i may move the shelves out of nursery into office (or move stuff off shelves so OH can move shelves) and be 1 step closer to nursery.
oh and MUST make time for hypnobirth CDS too 
Hope everyone is well, and i promise i will not disappear for so long again.
Happy weekend everyone
