bluey Well, although I have a SW postcode, technically in London, I'm literally on the border with Richmond (a five minute walk and you're in TW9) so I'm sorta, kinda already in the 'Burbs. Definitely more 'Burbs than Big Smoke here.
I want to stay here - indeed, whilst my older two were growing up I chose location over space and they have shared a room all their life (hardly ideal but where the space is, I don't want to go!). They're happy to finally be getting their own rooms (we're going from a two bedroom flat to a four bedroom house) but as DD is 18 in March it's all come a little late for them!
However, I've had to relent. We simply need more room, much more room! We're going only not quite 15 mins in a car but I don't like the area (my Dad lived there most of my life until recently and DF is from there (in fact, the house is down the same road as his Mum! That's a whole other thread in itself - she's lovely and all, and I'm hoping it will mean more babysitting a closer relationship with DS2&3 but, yeah, MiL a few steps down the road wouldn't work for everyone!) so I do know it well) but the plan is to come back this way in a few years when the older two will have left/be on their way to leaving so we'll need less room again. I know; best laid plans and all that, but that is the plan.
BMI No freaking way!! 38 weeks?! Are you sure because it only seems like five minutes ago you got your bfp and it definitely seems like about three minutes ago that you discovered it's DD2 on the way... 38 weeks. 38?! Lots of positive labour vibes your way I've been pondering becoming a doula. Not right now, but near future but probably not needed as second babies tend to be so much easier!
sarah It's a beautiful daydream, eh?
No pressure, flip but get somewhere massive that will accommodate us all, hmmkay?
